The party (Torr, Idky, Squattingbeaver, Lowdog, Aine with Dresher, and Stephan) got right to healing the wounded after their battle. In the process, Squattingbeaver went to find some berries for a few goodberry spells. Afterward, 'Beaver invoked his magical pearl with swirling gray -- the storm he was planning on calling lightning from calmed....
Deciding that it was a better idea to camp out and heal, 'Beaver grabs and drags Maedhros' spirit along to a nearby vault where the party spends the night. In the morning, the shaman realizes that the half-elf's spirit has drifted off.
The party heals more and decides to attack the skyship. 'Beaver summons crows, give light stones to fly up to remove globe of darkness. The shaman then casts protection from spirits to ward off potential victims from Lord Lazarus. Idky casts protection from evil 10' to keep any demons at bay after Torr (predictably) attacks. Seeing the ship 3000' above, Beaver casts call lightning and starts to smash the wooden hull again and again with mighty bolts of lightning. Pieces start flying off ship
Four strikes bring eleven cloud stalkers slamming into Idky's protection from evil.
Torr steps up to the edge of the protection and starts attacking the demon-bird. They all bunch up where the paladin is and so he wounds and grounds more of them so they can't get away as Beaver fires arrows. Lowdog gets an aid from Idky and rushes to assist Torr. As the fighters leap back, Beaver unleashes a lightning strike on them. Unfortunately, it does minimal damage. Apparently, they have powerful electrical resistance.
Torr and Lowdog resume their slaughter. As they get to the last one, Lord Lazarus appears and firebolts Beaver. With him are a creature dripping with acidic lava, a wicked-looking Amazon with blood all over her mouth, a goat demon dripping blood and cloaked in shadows, a hellhound, a HUGE rhino demon (8 feet tall) that looks like it's made of solid obsidian, and a demonic dark paladin.
The rhino charges and bounces off Idky's protection from evil aura. The hellhound vomits lightning at Beaver, damaging him badly. The blood and night cloaked goat demon shoots Idky with its bow but misses. The vile amazon throws a spear at 'Beaver and fumbles, stabbing "her own ass". The acid beast spits at Torr and misses. And the anti-paladin rushes up to the protective aura.
'Beaver casts hold monster, catching the acid beast and the Amazon. Aine casts faerie fire, catching the Amazon, acid beast, hellhound, and goat demon. Stephan, invisible, sneaks up behind Lord Lazarus while Torr rushes the demon lord. Idky casts prayer and Lowdog takes on the anti-paladin.
The rhino demon charges Torr, who sees him, and he misses. The hellhound bites Torr, while the goat demon draws its battle axe.
Lord Lazarus runs away from the paladin using his allies as cover and casts dispel magic, taking out protection from evil, prayer, nearly all the party's continual light stone, spirit ward and the hold on the amazon. He's careful to avoid Torr and Lowdog in his effect.
Immediately, Idky restores protection from evil 10'r while Torr continues to attack his opponents. Stephan backstabs Lord Lazarus, damaging him terribly. The demon lord has not healed from his previous encounter with the heroes!
Aine casts forget, catching the Amazon and the rhino demon. Lowdog fumbles and damages himself as well as the anti-paladin. Using a moment where everyone's attention is focused elsewhere, 'Beaver casts max cure serious wounds on himself.
Badly hurt, Lazarus teleports away, ordering his minions to finish the party. The goat demon attempts to strike at Torr's soul, but fortunately it doesn't kill him. The black knight (anti-paladin) gets taken out by Lowdog. Aine casts forget again, catching only the Amazon. But Stephan backstabs the Amazon, stunning her
Idky casts aid on Beaver and gives him his magical demon-slaying club. Idky then casts light on a stone.
Torr continues attacking his opponents. Aine casts forget again, catching the Amazon, the rhino, and hellhound. 'Beaver destroys the last cloud stalker and then goes to attack the Amazon, killing her. Lowdog takes the rhino off of Torr. Aine casts forget, catching hellhound and the rhino. Stephan backstabs the rhino. Idky casts sundazzle, blinding the goat demon, then he and Aine edge closer to the battle in case someone needs to jump into the protective aura.
Lowdog takes out the rhino and moves on to the held lava demon. 'Beaver drops his singularity dagger for Aine to pick up and help out
She picks up the dagger and heads over to help out with the last demon, who falls under Stephan's daggers.
The party then begins bandaging and healing...
Squattingbeaver is worried that Lord Lazarus is nearby so he casts detect invisibility and calls up another round of call lightning on the ship. After several more strikes, the ship is falling apart and debris rains down on Marthasville.
At this point, 18 creatures float down from the ship. The look like horned skeletons with wings and tails. They are invisible, so only Beaver can see them at first. Torr walks to edge of protection to try to get them to bunch up for lightning blasts from Beaver. At this point, the storm ends, causing Beaver's call lightning to end. Now a fiery thing and a lightning thing come spiraling down
Torr attempts to turn the invisible beings as they are now close enough for his dragon senses to reveal them but it doesn't work. Instead, Torr and Beaver start to attack the entities from edge of the protection from evil. Lowdog calls up a spirit prayer.
The creatures start bunching up around where Torr is, so Aine faerie fires six of them.
Beaver gets hit and loses a 1st-level spell. He steps back and gives club to Stephan. No more spellcasters attacking these things!
Aine cast faerie fire on another bunch.
Lowdog activates his onyx dog to help with fight, but it doesn't last but a round. Stephan starts attacking with the club as Beaver starts firing arrows into the invisible ones to show their location
The fighters start taking out the skeleton-demon-things. Meanwhile, the other two beings continue to descend in a spiral from the ship. Aine starts to help out Torr in the battle.
The begins coming down are a ghostly-burning wraith-like figure and a demon wreathed in reddish lightning. When they get within 60 feet range, Beaver and Idky cast dispel magic at them, but they fail. The lightning guy hurls a bolt at Lowdog and misses.
Idky attempts to sundazzle the lightning guy, but it doesn't take hold. Another fiery creature, a demon made of lava, and an ogre-looking creature show up. Beaver gets struck by a lightning bolt from the lightning demon. Idky's second sundazzle catches the newcomers and the lightning demon.
Stephan helps Lowdog and takes out his opponent. Aine takes out her opponent.
'Beaver attempts another dispel magic on the red storm (lightning demon), which succeeds, dropping him out of the sky. He's grounded!
Lowdog goes for the blinded lava dude. He finds that his magic swords starts to heat up. The blinded ogre wanders off trying to find the battle in the wrong direction. Teamwork is not the strong suit of these entities!
The fire demon runs up to attack Lowdog, who has called out for some rain. Idky casts precipitation, which cools off Lowdog's weapons AND the lava demon. Blinded and confused, the lava demon ends hitting the red storm (lightning demon), as Lowdog jumps out of the way. The pair start fighting each other -- turning chaotic evil on itself proves quite easy. The red storm kills the fire demon with a lightning bolt, but the heroes now have one less foe to battle.
Stephan goes down fighting his undead creature, and Idky pulls him out of the way. Lowdog leaps to take it on, as Torr finishes off his opponent. Aine then casts cure light on Stephan. Meanwhile 'Beaver has changed into a beaver and back to heal, then goes to pick up the club that Stephan dropped.
Stephan's soul continues burning, so Aine casts another cure wounds and Idky casts death's door. Finally, his flames burn out.
Torr runs after the ogre creature. They exchange a few blows before Beaver and Lowdog arrive to help. Lowdog destroys it with one swing. Meanwhile, at the battle site, Aine cures on Stephan, bringing him up.
The beings bore no treasure...
'Beaver starts tending to the wounded with medicine herbs.
