Turn 25: Gee Maybe Your Friends Did ThatRaise a cage of stone spikes around the demons closest to me, complete with roof.
[5][Luck 1] You raise a massive series of stone claws around the demons, which come together and fuse into a vaguely egg-shaped, building-sized structure with rock walls over six feet thick. Which is awesome, except you're in there also, and it's awfully dark. Oops.
+3 Earth MagicNew Spell: Monolith PrisonOnce again, search for the group.
[5][Luck 6] Hmmmmm, maybe the sudden rainclouds with cracks of lightning, grinding moan of new hills being raised, and crashing waves of goo are signs that your friends are near? Nawwwww, that's probably the
other pack of unbalanced magi with too much power for their own good. You rush back to the group, but are out of breath by the time you get there.
+1 RangerInspect the demons. And talk to them while doing it.
[6][Luck 4] You manage to slog through the muck to start chatting with the demons. [5][Luck 1] As you talk to one of the demons, you realize it's looking at you as though it understands you. Then you're inside a building with no windows and it grabs you around the throat. Um, oops.
+1 DemonologistSend wyvern to attack the second closest demon, advance to the border of the glue-mud and spray the closest demon with crystal shards
[5-1][Luck 5] The wyvern obeys your command to annihilate a demon. [4] vs [4-1] It rips the head off, then flies out of the way of the earthen prison. [6+2][Luck 6] You fling crystal shards at EVERYTHING in the general vicinity. Demon: [3] vs [6], Flagro [5] vs [5], Sargoth [4] vs [4]. The demon ducks behind Flagro, while both Flagro and Sargoth receive minor cuts from razor-sharp crystals.
+3 SummoningNew Spell: Crystal FlurryFlagro and Sargoth take minor damage.One close demon slain.Mass Cure Light Wounds
[5+1][Luck 1] You channel too much power, dazing yourself in a flash of healing light. Nobody was close enough to be affected by it, however, and it didn't heal you either.
Try to utilize the rainstorm to call lightning down from the sky onto the demons.
[6][Luck 4] You call a flash of lightning from the clouds above, frying one demon and slightly electrifying its wounded neighbor. Both fall down as smoking husks.
+3 LightningNew Spell: Call LightningBoth far demons slain.I enter the Dagger Focus Stance and dissipate the farthest demon.
[3+2][Luck 4] You succeed in ripping apart the uninjured demon as Thorontur fries it with lightning. Well, at least you added insult to injury.
+3 DestructionFreeze the glue-mud around the demons.
[4][Luck 6] The entire field of mud-glue is frozen and juts into spikes. Well, the entire portion outside the earthen prison, at least.
+3 WaterNew Spell: Field FreezeHello, Flagro!
The demon pulls Flagro in closer, presumably inspecting him. A guttural voice echoes from within it,
"Do you seek power, mortal?" It doesn't really sound like the demon itself is speaking, however.
Slightly short man with a long amethyst ponytail and eyes. Medium complexion, birthmark on left hand.

Damaged Focused Repeating CrossbowSince maxicaxi can't do terribly much other than speak anyway, and nothing much he does will affect anyone else for a bit, I'll just skip him for now. He can respond later, and I might even split the conversation out of the main turn if it becomes long enough.
