The pit arrives into a area of a thousand beams of light, endlessly reflected off the walls and it is impossible to determine anything in the glare. Alzar’s Gem of Seeing Star shows the lights, and he tosses a coin and it is blasted with cold, and then disintegrates by two of the lights.
He casts Dispel Magic and the beams stop. A coin shows nothing and the wight that moves through is fine. They head through.
Stairs lead up to a vast room with a dark and evil presence easily sense. Alzar can see a large man, and passes his Genie Lore proficiency. This is Khalitharius, noble Efreet in a more man-like guise.
He is holding a large bottle with a stopper in it, clear. And he puts it down as the wight and party enter the chamber.
The amulet given to them by Sheikh Kassim Arslan has begun to glow a very bright light. A blue ray shoots out from it and hits Khalitharius in the chest and he snarls in pain. He retreats and then begins to cast a Flame Strike at Alzar. Alzar orders the people in, and to separate. He charges the Efreet, axe out.
The Efreet’s magic hits Alzar as Magic Missiles hit the Efreet for 7 damage. Alzar takes 33 damage, roll for half, and…rolls an 8 and…fails – he needs a 10.
Alzar casts Vampiric Touch and drains 11. The Efreet chooses to go astral, and disappears.
Alzar – 32/54
