In the demon's pincer, Mai'ngor is badly cut, but he hardly feels it. He is smarting more from the deception - he really did believe he had found Brynn again. He digs deep, grasps Sinag two-handed, and hacks away at the demon with renewed fervor.

Struggling to free himself Elfog manages to escape certain pincher death. Hitting the ground he works himself into a Frenzy and rushes in once again at the demon, taking a two handed swing with Tolvihar.

Xeliss moves forward, drawing upon magical energy to protect herself from being grabbed as she transforms.

Hunter presses her will against the magic holding her. After a brief but exhausting mental battle, she sags as the magic releases her.

Mai'ngor slashes the beast once and then again, the light-blade leaving scorched wounds in the glabrezu's chest.

Elfog keeps swinging Tolvihar as if he's felling a tree, taking chunks out of the glabrezu. He manages to wriggle out of the demon's grasp and lands on the ground, free again.

Glabrezu: 120 damage

The glabrezu continues trying to squeeze Mai'ngor, but the tikbalang manages to keep the pincer from digging deeper into his abdomen.

The great demon reaches out for Elfog once more, grabbing and picking him up once more (28 vs AC, 18 damage and grappled again!)

You all feel powerful magic grabbing for your mind, twisting your thoughts and trying to pervert your intentions.

Boom! You stopped the spell! No one needs to roll to resist confusion :(

Hunter trusts that her companions can bring the glabrezu down. She herself needs some distance away from the fiend, and she disengages from its presence to find a better angle to cast her spells. She heads for one of the doors to see if it is locked.

I rush towards the demon's limb and attempt to bite and claw to help release its grip on Elfog. The fiery sphere continues to leap towards the demon, despite doing minimal damage.

Mai'ngor continues to thrash about haphazardly in the friend's grasp without much success. Frustrated, he channels the innate magic of his ancestors and vanishes, only to reappear 30 feet behind the demon.

"Again!?" Elfog blurts out as he finds himself once more within the demon's grasp.

"I guess I will just have to cut you down from here!"

Without trying to escape, Elfog lashes out at the beast's forearm and wrist.

Working together, Elfog, Xeliss, and Mai'ngor are able to bring down the glabrezu. The beast howls angrily as it fades away, sent back to its own plane of existence.

As Hunter reaches for the door, the barlgura fades back into existence, angrily turning on the sorceress who dared to banish it. She feels her world turn to agony as the ape-like beast bites her shoulder, then begins punching her in the back over and over. (12, 13, 17 vs AC. 12, 8, 16 damage)

Hunter gasps, even as her eyes flash white with power. She twists her hand to form the same circular glyph, then spins around to slap the arcane mark upon the barlgura's snout.

The Barlgura howls as it is once again banished. Suddenly, you feel the world drop from beneath your feet and you find yourself outside of the gates of the Vault of Sages. Looking at the sky, you would judge that no time has passed, but you feel so tired. It appears that you truly were inside of an illusion and none of that was real except perhaps for the demons.

As you prepare to head to the inn to nurse your wounds, you have a startling realization... How did the illusion so perfectly replicate your loved ones mannerisms and appearance?
OOC:
Just a note. On this post, Hunter should have gotten only ONE sorcery point back

Quote: Converting a Spell Slot to Sorcery Points. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spell slot and gain a number of sorcery points equal to the slot’s level.

Whoops! You're right, only 1 sorcery point. Thank goodness it was still enough!

Hunter looks around, wondering if anyone else is on the street and might notice a suddenly-bloodied group of adventurers that were clean a moment ago.
Mar 21, 2017 1:56 am
"Can someone explain to me just what in the name of all hells just happened here!" Elfog says, wearily getting to his feet, looking about for his pet lizard.

"I need a bit o' a rest after that one!"
OOC:
Took a level of exhaustion hit going all Frenzy like.

It's pretty deserted and is getting dark outside right now, and you appear back in the exact same space as before, so no one notices right away

"That was a glabrezu," explains Hunter. Shivering, with one arm hanging limp and bloody, she leans against her staff. "A creature of the Hells you speak of. It has somehow tapped into my memories to craft a powerful illusion of our surroundings, and of my... master."

She dips her head low and her hair covers her face. "Tell me, everyone. Did you see Master Hobren as I knew him? None of you had ever met him before, yet you must have seen something. I suspect the same goes for Mai'ngor's friend."
Mar 21, 2017 5:30 am
"I saw them both." Mai'ngor says through gritted teeth. "If this was a taste of what is in store if these fiends are free to roam the world then I fear for us all."
