Leonus casts Aid, Summon Undead, and uses his channel divinity for Death Strike.
Dax casts Magic Circle, Mirror Image, Circle of Power and Fire Shield.
Lozaal fetches the Khyber Shard they'll be using to contain the demon. It's placed on the floor in the room.
With everyone ready, Samyr Kes rings the Sacred Bell of Saint Cassia. Dax vomits up this smokey black substance, which pools around her feet and then coalesces into a dark mirror of herself. She quickly exits the magic circle.
Sulzrirtas sits in the center of the circle and speaks to Dax in Draconic. They will miss their time together, they have learned much from Dax.
Dax starts the fight, and they all get a round of attacking the demon before it responds.
Sulzrirtas stands up and seems to unfold as they do, ending up over 3 times the size it was. They reveal fairly quickly that they were learning everything Dax was, and they dispel the circle.
Uh oh.
Those too close to the demon start to freeze, this mostly concerns Lozaal and Leonus.
Sulzrirtas casts a lot of spells. Otiluke's Freezing Sphere, Rime's Binding Ice, Armor of Agathys (a lot). It attempted to cast Invulnerability, but Dax counterspelled it.
Sulzrirtas also counterspelled a lot.
Oh, they had a breath weapon too. lol.
Those that made eye contact with Sulzrirtas also froze, becoming restrained.
Sulzrirtas cast Power Word: Pain on Dax, taking her out of the fight for a couple of rounds as she was doubled over in pain.
Later into the fight, Sulzrirtas changed tactic and went melee rather than casting. Lozaal and Leonus took a beating.
Sulzrirtas cast Divine Word, which resulted in Lozaal instantly dying and Dax being blinded and deafened. Uh oh.
Leonus tanked like a champ, with the others pouring a ludicrous amount of healing into him to try and keep him up. He almost died multiple times.
Kal cast Freedom of Movement to escape the chilling gaze and rushed to one of the Glyphs of Warding (Cure Wounds), and then to Dax to cure her blindness.
Leonus in one last ditch effort pours everything he has into an attack, divine smiting, and manages to bring Sulzrirtas down.
Dax casts Khyber Trap and Sulzrirtas is pulled into the khyber shard. It wiggled like a pokeball, and then glowed a cold blue.
Kal cast Revivify on Lozaal.
Lozaal, in Dolurrh, is sitting and fading away. He hears Kal's voice call to him, she gives a heartfelt speech about how she can't lose anyone else. She gets more aggressive as she speaks, saying she'll go to Dolurrh herself and kick his ass if he doesn't come back.
Lozaal makes eye contact with a large, mechanical-looking being with a single eye in Dolurrh. He swears, and the entity begins to walk towards him before he's pulled back to Eberron and into his body.
Dax immediately heals him.
Samyr says they can store the shard in Flamekeep, but the vault in the fort will do for now.
Lozaal takes the Khyber Shard, and it begins speaking to him in Draconic. He doesn't understand, but asks Dax why she's speaking her native tongue. Dax asks if its speaking to him, and tells him not to speak to it.
Lozaal leaves to take it to the vault and immediately starts speaking to it, but he can't understand it.
Warden goes with him.
Dax, Kal and Leonus all sit on the floor and just breathe, cos wow, that was a lot.
Samyr asks Dax to come find him if she doesn't dream tonight, and he'll see what he (and Jaeinshar) can do. Then he goes to lie down somewhere, and everyone but Dax forgets him.
