Ro-Mahn descended the stairs and attacked the remaining mite
with his cold iron rapier. He struck true dealing 8 damage and killed the
monster. Stabem stepped to the side and attacked one of the newly arrived slimy
monsters. The halfling poked the monster for 5 damage.
Barnacleez recognized the slimy monsters as dretches, a
minor type of demon. He quickly recognized that the monsters were resistant to
damage from weapons which are not cold iron or good aligned, are immune
electricity and poison effects and have a moderate resistance to acid, cold and
fire damage. Further, he recognized these as a variant strain known as slimy
dretches. This meant that the monsters can cast Grease as a spell like ability
rather than the usual complement of spells. The gnome called out a warning to
his companions relaying these facts. Deciding that fire was not a great option,
the sorcerer activated his wand once more and dealt 4 damage with a magic
missile and stepped back from the melee. Heeding Barnacleez’s warning, Lady
Emyralda cast Shield of Faith upon herself, drew her scimitar and moved forward
into the melee.
The man in the doorway activated a spell-like ability
resulting in a burst of negative energy targeting Stabem, Wahesh and Cando.
Stabem was dealt 10 damage while Wahesh and Cando only suffered 5 damage each.
Wahesh ascended the stairs, moving next to Stabem. The
fighter swung his cold iron longsword at the dretch. The blow landed and dealt
8 damage to the wounded demon but it remained standing. The demon attacked in
return with two sets of claws and a bite but missed with each.
The demon next to Lady Emyralda also attacked and missed the
cleric. The remaining demon stepped up to engage Stabem but it too missed with
all of its attacks.
Cando continued to sing and stepped up behind Wahesh. The
half-orc charged a dart with arcane energy and hurled it at the demon. The
weapon missed sailing wide.
