Lothos, in a panic, casts "build" and a translucent glowing magical energy fills the large gap between the stone staircase. As soon as Lothos has taken a couple of steps though, a catastrophy occurs. The magic wanes and he free falls 12 feet to the next steps landing on his side, hitting his head and then sliding down several more steps unconcious and bloodied.[1]
Salsacookies puts on his mysterious other dimensional helmet, then casts "Levitate" to travel down the stairway. The weight of the exceptionally heavy helmet makes him flip head first as he descends. Fortunately a small goblin hoisting a spear is crushed down by the weight of the wizard and taken out of the fight. He is now surrounded by many more of his larger goblin companions. [6]
Harold the Generic Wizard casts "Detonate" against the hostile goblins and several of the front line troops explode into gore! [3]
William the Wordsmith casts "Reverse" the direction of the arrows, and the spell has no effect. he is struck by one as it grazes his arm. The wound begins to swell and sting immediately. At the same moment his exceptional leg strength is lost and he returns to normal. [2]
John Smith reveals himself, then uses "enslave" to take control of the demon but the demon's mind resists his will and enslaves John smith. "gouge your own eyes out." The demon suggests. Then John smith obediently complies comitting a disgusting diplay of self mutilation, blinding himself with his fingers. [1]
The questionable mage Ozz casts "Force" evil, on the demon. The demon turns it's attention from John Smith to the goblin horde. With an ear piercing scream of fury the demon charges straight throught the mass of advancing goblins. Limbs fly, claws rend flesh, Canines mortally bite and at the end of the demons charge he plunges throught the floor in a fiery erruption leaving a flaming pentogram on the ground. For a second everyone stands there stunned, awe struck by the violence of the attack. [4]
Markus Velafi enters the pit, shouting "dagvaarden" but to his bewilderment there is no effect. It is as though th magic he casts has somehow been rendered useless.
Henry the Best sees the goblins routed and grabs a a weapon from the clutches of the fallen. He grabs a crudely made but razor sharpened. spear. He has never trained much with weapons, devoting his whole life to magic study. It will be difficult for him to use in combat. [4]
The frightful assault by the demon destroyed the morale of the goblin horde and they quickly pull back into their living quarters to regroup. The spearmen cover the retreat as the archers fire pot shots over their heads.
