Harkahnon Ruins 13 - The Demon

Round 1
With orc bodies strewn around the first and second floor, with Grung's corpse in the cathedral hall area, and with the strange blind demon corpses in the Time Ark room, not to mention the skeletons and remains of others who have died in the past here, you would have thought there was enough death and destruction.

But the other demon, the one that has made those sounds like plodding steps of a behemoth above you, is coming.

At first, you are unsure what you see descend from the room with the neverending pits straight across from you.  It seems like a tentacle of sorts, about one to two feet wide.  And then another tentacle descends from the hole in the ceiling, and then another.  But these are no normal tentacles.  These appear to be watery apparitions, like a stream of water in a geyser or a stream flowing as blood inside an invisible squid tentacle.  A fourth tentacle also descends, and the ceiling above shakes as something large moves through.

The shaking knocks dust from the ceiling, and a crack appears above the doorway leading north.

Another squeal escapes its mouth -- or whatever it has there -- as it inches closer to lowering itself through the ceiling in the far room.

What you see looks something like this:

Borimer makes two quick slashes at the demonic beast even as he struggles to put it into a recognizable shape.

Popping back out from his withdrawal with a nod to himself, Kahan looks up at the odd creature and states somewhat worriedly, "I think we should flee!" Kahan then pulls out a scroll and starts casting.

Harak follows Borimer's lead and tries to slash through the tentacle with his scimitar as it moves through the doorway.

ROUND 1

Borimer and Harak move closer...

The portal room ahead becomes shadowed as something crosses in the way of the fire elemental that continually falls through the infinite portals again and again.  You hear a loud sizzling sound and see an explosion of steam...and then darkness as the fire elemental is extinguished and a watery squid-like form emerges through the portal from above.

Borimer and Harak slice at the watered tentacle as it pokes through the open doorway.  A huge section of the tentacle is carved off and falls to the floor, spilling into a huge puddle of water that is almost immediately reabsorbed by another probing, watery tentacle.

The watery tentacled thing is descending to have a look at these intruders.  Like some grotesquery, you see through the translucent watery "head" a brain-like structure with red strands of nerves leading to a beak-like mouth, two bulbous eyes and several other unknown structures within its center.  The entire creature does not have a size per se, because it undulates and changes shape, but if put all together in one spot, you are sure it would be as large as that dragon you slew not too long ago.

OOC: Not sure if Kahan is still deciding to cast after our PM, but he can do so if he wants and it will count as ending between the rounds.
