    Raikou continues to swim as quickly as he can with Cyrus up to the surface to aid their comrades.

    And when they do hit air, the halfling prepares to return Cyrus to his usual medium air elemental form.

    Davorin

    The dwarf leader continues to sprint towards the lift as fast as his stubby little legs can carry him.

    As he does, he shouts commands to the others in an attempt to form some strategy to fight this thing.

    "Soraya. Use your flight and see if you can get it away from this side of the sewers. I'm going to try to see if I can get that lift working and bring it back down. But I'll need some breathing space to do that.

    Isobel. Do the same. And see if you can slow that thing down. And when that halfling comes up, tell him to blast it with everything he's got. "

    Soraya

    As instructed by the dwarf, Soraya attempts to keep the thing that was once Stan occupied.

    "Hey Stan! This way!"

    With that, she tosses her dagger straight at the creature's back, before flying over the water.

    Spoiler: Dagger throw...

    Soraya uses her standard to attack Sir Stan, then a move over the water. She is trying to get Stan to move in the other direction that Davorin is running.

    @Raikou: Cyrus finally manages to reach the bottom of the stairs and although still under the effects of the Slow spell, you cast a spell to return him to a more familiar airborne form.

    Davorin moves as fast as he can, but dwarves are not known for their speed and so, it will take him awhile before he can reach the lift area and explore it further.

    Soraya moves over the water, confident in her spell and launches a single dagger at Stan, causing the creature to roar and look at the edge of the water and her as Anya's sister taunts him.

    "Come on, you piece of s***! I'm right here!!!""

    This thing may look like a zombie, but it isn't as dumb as one, as it roars and twitches all over before speeding towards Donna, who attempts to bite him, but to no avail as Subject Stan sinks his rotten teeth into its hide, causing the faithful hound to bleed profusely but worse...

    His entire body has become paralyzed! Donna isn't moving!

    Isobel coughs and her eyes water as her skin takes on a pale greenish color.

    "Don't get close to it! It carries some kind of disease stench around him!""

    The half orc Enforcer watches the carnage and moves as close as he can running down the stairs and getting ready to charge the monstrosity Cutter created.

    Round 3

    Isobel looks at the half orc and then at Donna.

    "You get my dog out of here! I am not letting this thing chase any of you... that's a promise!!!""


    And so, for the last time today, Isobel's form changes dramatically and becomes the wild untamed beast from before.

    Finally out of the disgusting sewer water, Raikou takes a good close look at this horrific monster. With all of it's stitches and putrid flesh, it is quite disgusting. What had Cutter done to this poor guy to turn him into such an unrecognizable state?

    Wow. Now that's a face not even a mother could love.

    What happened to you Mr. Stan?


    He shrugs and starts gathering his arcane energy and prepares for a mighty blast.

    Pointing his hands at the horror that was once Stan, Raikou calls forth a thunderous blast of almost pure sonic the resounds around the large room with a loud boom. The lance of sound races straight towards Stan, and blasts through the creature with destructive potential.

    Lets start with a little shock and awe!

    With a followup instruction from his master, Cyrus then flies across the water and moves over to the northern end of the sewer pool

    @Raikou: Finally out of the water, you ride Cyrus as far back as possible and realize what the team has been fighting.

    So this is Subject Stan? So much for whatever plans he had when leaving this place.

    It's a mighty lance of arcane sound that pierces his rotten body, but against all odds, the monster is able to survive the worst, as Davorin runs as far as he can down the hall, but is yet to reach the lift.

    Soraya launches her dagger again, but Stan deflects it with his rotten claw as he sets eyes on Isobel and digs rotten fangs and claws into her tough hide, ripping flesh and fur with ease.

    Nobody would be able to survive an attack like this except for her, who coughs blood in bear form and resists whatever sinister power his body can produce.

    The half orc realizes that going in to get the dog is suicidal and runs past Stan, who misses by a small margin as he too tries to catch up with Davorin.

    Round 4

    Isobel takes a huge risk as she holds Donna with her jaws and moves back towards the walkway, enduring massive pain as Stan bites her flank on the way out.

    The group is retreating to the lift, but in so doing, they will not have much moving room...

    Which leaves only you and Soraya to put this thing down for good.

    Not quite the thunderous start I was hoping for. Oh well.

    Frowning at the seemingly lack of effectiveness of his previous spell, Raikou tries again.

    This time though, he uses a different spell, and lobs a small orb of thunder at the horror. Then he commands Cyrus to join Soraya directly north of them.

    Cyrus uses a move action to fly about 50ft north I think?

    Once besides her, Raikou addresses the rogue.

    This could get bad. I'm pretty hurt and I might be starting to run out of spells.

    @Raikou: Both you and Soraya hurl orb and dagger at Stan, which do meet its mark, but the horrific creature is not even close to going down as it turns its gaze at both of you who fly as far back as you can towards one of the cells.

    Soraya looks at you as the dagger slashes Stan and ignites him in flames and your orb causes his body to crackle with electricity and smiles as she looks at you.

    "Think we got his attention now?"

    Davorin finally gets to the lift area and find a blinking red button and a sign beneath it:

    Lift Currently in Use. Please Wait

    Serk must still be on the lift or the bastard rigged it. At any case, you could try to rig it yourself now that it's operational and bring the lift down, but who knows how long it might take...

    @Raikou: Soraya was right:

    You did catch Stan's attention as the beast crouches a bit and then takes off sprinting towards both of you, leaping onto the air with rotten grace and wrenching into Cyrus as all three of you are affected by his nauseating aura.

    Spoiler: Wrenching Bite
    Show
    Cyrus takes 19 damage plus Improved Grab DC 36. If Cyrus cannot break the grapple, he takes an extra 8 damage


    As for Soraya, you and even Cyrus, the stench of this beast is just as Isobel had described as the creature dangles over the fetid pool by his jaws alone, seeking to bring your familiar and you down with him.

    Spoiler: Stench

    The half orc takes no time and runs as close as he can towards Davorin, hoping to give him a hand.

    Round 5

    Isobel roars and gets a bit closer to the group as Stan dangles from Cyrus' airy tail and stamps her claws on the ground and bellows in his direction as a pair of disembodied purple jaws clamp their way through the air directly towards Stan, but because she has been affected by his stench, these fail to bite initially, but remain close enough to be a threat to this abomination.

    Cyrus shrieks in fear as the terrible Stan lunges forward and sinks his teeth into the poor little familiar. The elemental squirms, caught helplessly in Stan's cruel grasp. Through his empathic link, Raikou can feel the anguish of his familiar.

    With anger in his eyes, the halfling, although sick, still musters the strength to call out to the horror.

    HEY! Mud-for-brains! No one hurts my familiar.

    Let's move somewhere where we have a little more personal space eh Cyrus?


    With a quick gesture, an earlier spell the halfling had cast on the two of them is activated, and Cyrus easily slips through Stan's teeth.
    Safely out of the grapple, Cyrus attempts to move away as best he can in spite of his slowed condition.

    Meanwhile, Raikou takes this as another opportunity to launch a nice amount of electricity at the creepy zombie thing.

    Chew on this!

    Spoiler: Lesser Orb of Electricity
    Show
    Cyrus can't use full round actions, so he'll just move away. They'll move 20ft to the left, then 20ft up into the space between the two cells and above the water.
    Raikou will use his standard to cast the orb spell.

    @Raikou: You can feel the pain through your familiar as Stan clings tight to his wispy airy tail, like some rotten piranha, dangling several feet above the fetid pool.

    If this continues like this, none of you may be able to get out of here alive, you need to act fast.

    Calling on one of your arcane powers, both you and Cyrus immediately are blessed with the power of Water itself, slipping out of Stan's putrid and deadly jaw as Cutter's hideous abomination tries desperately to hold on to Cyrus, but is unable to as he free falls down towards the murky water, not before you launch an orb of pure lightning at the creature's chest, causing the water around him to shock in blue jolts of lightning as his carcass sinks into the pool and is seen no more.

    Soraya tries to stab it with her rapier, as you move away and so does she, looking at the water below, but seeing nothing, except a tuft of smoke from where he splashed.

    "I guess you got him... well done, Stormy!""

    Davorin on his end messes with the control panel as he watches the fight with the half orc next to him.

    Damn you Serk! I will put a bolt between your eyes when I'm out of this place! Work dammit... WORK!

    It's a jolt of energy as the dwarf messes with the panel and gears can be heard whirring as the lift slowly begins to descend, but is not still within view.

    "Alright, team! We are getting out of here! Let's move!""

    He got the lift to work... finally you get to leave this hell hole...


    Round 6


    Isobel, still in bear form, hears Davorin's call and moves towards her paralyzed hound, grasping him in her jaws as gently as she can.

    She should be able to reach the lift shortly, but who knows if her size will allow everyone to ride in at the same time.

    Raikou sighs with relief as he watches the horrific creature get electrocuted then disappear beneath the surface of the grimy sewer. This fight had both him and his familiar at the edge of death. They were both pretty hurt, and he was nearly out of spells.
    Time to get out of here. Exploring the sewers would have to wait for another day.

    That was scary. I'm sure that's going to be the last that we'll see of that one...

    Let's get out of here Cyrus. Back to the lift.

    @Raikou: You look down at the murky sewer water and sigh in relief as Cyrus shares the same sentiment.

    Stan is gone.

    Soraya is not faring so well herself as all three of you fly over the cistern and towards Davorin and the half orc. The lift should be down at any moment, as Anya's sister feels the bite on her neck and winces.

    "I think we got all the information we can about this place. That door up above will have to wait for another time, Stormy. We need to inform The Society of what he have found here and...""

    Soraya keens her eyes as all three of you watch some bubbles moving at a very fast pace towards Davorin and the half orc from beneath the murky water as Soraya looks at both.

    "WATCH OUT!""


    But too late, as a splash of green fetid water heralds the appearance of Cutter's creation...

    That thing still lives!

    Davorin and the half orc watch in fear as the soaking wet undead twitches all over and immediately lunges for the Enforcer, biting deep into his neck and holding tight, as the half orc cannot move... he's become utterly paralyzed!

    Davorin, being way too close, begins to cough as Stan's aura seeks to take effect on him.

    Awww come on. I thought we killed this thing already... Although I guess he's probably already dead and now undead. But that's besides the point.

    Raikou groans in frustration as the creepy Stan resurfaces again and starts causing more trouble. Looks like he had retreated from the handsome blasting halfling and swam off in search of easier targets.

    He pats Cyrus and points at the direction of the lift.

    Fly Cyrus fly! Looks like Davorin and that orc guy are in big trouble. Let's go teach this creepy crawling zombie guy why he shouldn't be messing with our... friends? No. Allies maybe?

    Its blasty time!


    Unfortunately, the air elemental's slower speeds leaves them still somewhat aways from Stan and Davorin, and still stuck in the middle of the grimy water.

    Still, Raikou doesn't let that stop him. Using some of the last of his magical power, he musters up the strength for a powerful blast of sonic, one that races unerringly across the sewer and blasts into the abomination.

    @Raikou: Cutter made this thing to last, but even the Great Achilles had a heel...

    Cyrus is still under the effects of the Arcane Pollution and so, cannot move as fast, but no need, as your robes begin to glow with arcane runes and immense power begins to hum around you and your familiar as you unleash what can be considered Raikou's Last Final Attack!

    Stan is blasted directly in the back. It's rotten chunks cannot resist the sonic impalement as it roars in rage as his skeletal frame can be observed beneath all that rotten husk.

    Soraya flies as fast as she can and as close and launches her own dagger at the beast, striking true, as Sound and Ice mix with the hard edge of steel...

    And yet, despite this combined attack... it lives!

    Any other person would not have survived a spell of this magnitude, but Stan, severely wounded and partially unmade, looks at both as he stops feasting on the half orc and shoves him aside, nearly toppling the paralyzed enforcer and lunges at Davorin!

    Despite the dwarf having protected himself as best he could, Stan is relentless, biting deep into the leader of the Fraternal Cobblers neck, seeking to paralyze him just as he did to Donna and the Enforcer.

    You can already hear the lift descending, but with Stan still standing, you cannot hope to get everyone out of here. Not when you have at least three potentially paralyzed allies.

    Isobel roars and leaves Donna behind, charing with primal ferocity towards the undead abomination, swiping a large chunk off the creature with her mighty claw...

    He's very much weakened, but not going down!

    Soraya looks at you and retrieves her dagger. It is then that you can hear shrieks from the prison further back: Chimeras.

    This fight must've attracted more of them into the fray and if they join in, chances of getting everyone out alive is not a possibility.

    "We need to unleash hell on this a**hole, Raikou. You think you can bring up another one like before?""

    And now Davorin was paralyzed too. This kept getting worse and worse.

    Not having much she can do without risking death herself, Soraya launches her dagger at Stan again before flying back behind Isobel.

    I'm pretty much tapped out of my flashier magic. I can keep hitting him with weaker stuff, but I don't know how long all of us can hold out.

    Raikou says, watching with a grimace as Davorin also get paralyzed.

    Doing the only thing he can do, he forms another small thunder orb between his palms and tosses it at Stan as Cyrus starts the draw nearer. As he casts, the crystal shard around his neck glows once more.

    Cyrus uses a move action to fly 45ft closer.

    Raikou uses a swift action to activate his empowered spellshard. Then a standard action to cast the spell.

    Ranged touch attack (1d20+8)[19]
    It does empowered (5d8)[20] (30) electricity damage.

    @Raikou: Soraya launches her dagger at Stan, but this one bounces off his severely weakened rotten hide as he keeps munching on Davorin, whose eyes look at both of you, but cannot move a muscle.

    The screeches from the Chimeras are getting closer as you have Cyrus move closer and tap into your last reserves of power as an orb the size of your entire body crackles with golden electricity and flies straight towards Stan, catching him in the back...

    The entire sewer complex illuminates and crackles with electricity as you, Isobel and Soraya watch Cutter's fiendish creation roar louder than before as the pustules on his body grow and pop, spilling black blood as it shoves Davorin aside, who drops like a wooden doll as it thrashes at both of you, but cannot get anywhere close.

    The spell keeps sizzling his body as Stan takes a few steps forward and begins to roar, when his entire body alights in lightning and smoke comes out of every conceivable hole left on him during this grueling battle before collapsing at the dwarf's feet, trailing black smoke as it twitches a few more times, prompting Soraya to ready her dagger once more, but this time...

    This time... Stan is down for the count.

    Isobel rushes to pick up Donna, who is still paralyzed and rushes back towards the lift, placing him with Davorin, who cannot move as she reverts back to her human self.

    None of you are in any condition to fight at this point as Soraya descends and kicks the thing in what remains of his ribs.

    "You bastard... wait. What's this?""

    Anya's sister quickly checks the smoked rotten body of Subject Stan and forcibly removes hiw lower jaw and a pair of eyes that don't belong on him, covered in black blood.

    The screeches get louder as Soraya helps move the half orc inside the lift.

    "We're done with this place! Raikou, get in!""

    The lift rises rather slowly, as the screeches can be heard below and the rogue lady slumps beside Davorin, whose eyes dart left and right.

    "I cannot believe we got out of that place alive... this is far more than we bargained for...urkkk!""


    Soraya winces as she feels the bite on her neck, something Isobel notices on her and Donna.

    "Whatever those Crimson heads did to us, is not going away. We need to treat ourselves for whatever they were carrying in those bites, but agreed:

    We got very lucky. Too bad the others didn't make it...

    Soraya, come see me at my place tomorrow. I will pray to Mother Beory and have a way to relieve that bite from you. Same for myself and Donna. For now, I think we are done with this place.""

    Once the lift ascends, Serk is nowhere in sight, but he did mess with the lift, that much is clear.

    The great stone door leading who knows where is walked by the group and Soraya hands you the jaws and eyes.

    "I am not going to check that place, but if you want to, they are yours to keep. For now, let's get out of this place.""

    It is as you limp or fly towards the sewer exit, that the female voice from earlier echoes through the entire complex.

    It would seem that lesser specimens in the Test Site are able to accomplish extraordinary deeds. Subject Stan was flawed, that much is clear, but I am sorely disappointed by your state, given his lower combat abilities...

    Still, this has provided illuminating data. You get to leave... for what it's worth, anyway.


    Soraya helps Davorin move and looks around, but cannot see or hear any of those damned bugs.

    "That bitch was testing us. I swear, when I get my strength back, I am going to show her some illumination in the form of daggers to the chest!""

    Upon leaving the sewers, it is already night time and Davorin, Donna and the Half Orc finally recover their motor functions, but are in no condition to fight any longer.

    "I cannot believe we survived that ordeal! Stormy, you're alright! But now, this dwarf needs a long, loooong nap. And a bucket of ale to go along with it.""

    Isobel looks at the sewers as Society rogues meet up and look at all of you.

    "What the hell happened down there?""

    "Davorin... where's the rest of the team?""

    Soraya looks at the entrance and catches her breath as her skin complexion goes pale and sweat forms on her forehead.

    "I want that sewer entrance blocked until it is ordered to be open by either me, Davorin...

    or Raikou here. I want NOTHING getting out of that place and I want nobody sneaking in. Understood?""

    The Society members are not one to question Soraya as they barricade the entrance and then looks at you and Isobel.

    "The night streets here aren't any safer. I have a warehouse we can tuck ourselves in for the night. Raikou:

    You need to show Seti and the others what we found here. Tomorrow I will go and give my report to Spooner and the rest. This is far worse than we imagined.""

    Soraya leads you to an old fortified building and shows the three of you some dirty cots and heavily boarded windows.

    "A few nights ago, one of my safe houses was raided and everyone in was slaughtered. Not making that mistake twice. Nothing will get through these windows now.

    Let's get some rest and then, after Isobel has aided me and herself and Donna, we shall part ways. I don't know how the others fared in Camazotz Den or the Ludus Magnus, but I am sure it went far better than here.""


    And so, exhausted and hurt beyond belief, you slump down as Cyrus, already back to his small size, keeps watch over you as you drop like a small bag of rocks and find the cot as comfortable as a king's bed.
