The closest room of interest near their location is the driveshaft, and you have the engine room below them. They head to the driveshaft.
About half way there they turn and spy some derro built defenses across the main tunnel, hastily constructed. There are at least 25 derro here, with tables flipped up, weapons ready, and they fire some fiery missiles. Alzar and Vix are both immune to the normal fire, and she throws her spear as Alzar casts Skulltrap and cleans out the defenses after launching the trapped skull.
They head on
They arrive at the driveshaft entrance on this level after passing by more rooms and entries. Noncombatant derro like children and old ones are fleeing. The entrance is wizard locked, and Alzar’s Chime of Opening cracks it open.
There are narrow walkways inside, with giant great gears that are moving swiftly. There are arcane symbols all along the shaft, and a huge number of genies here providing counter energies to the windmills above, and creating the energy necessary to push the juggernaut.
Alzar is able to make out the various runes and symbols. They are here to control the summoned genies. Alzar heads into his OtherSpace and grabs a pair of curious rocks, once badly molten..
He returns and waits. In about three minutes, an efreet sees him, a curious human here, and not the derro, and stops and talks with him. Using his genie lore proficiency, he is able to convince the Efreet to help him if they are freed, and he does.
He casts Worldwalk and opens a passable gate to the Elemental Plane of Earth. Then he casts Protection from Evil, 10 Radius and bends up and damages the closest symbol.
As he does, the area begins to shudder and close. The central hold shaft inside the driveshaft area that holds and channels the genies breaks, and is rent all over. The various genies explode, and 120 dao and 80 efreet are suddenly free. The dao see the planar entrance and head over and free themselves, barely noticing Alzar, Vix, and the android on their way.
A handful see him, and he tells them what happened. They head out to kill some of the derro in revenge, and 350 derro warriors are slain in vengeance from the dao before the head back to the Earth Plane.
When the driveshaft stopped, the Doomgrinder did as well, and everyone took 1d6 damage, and 74 noncombatants passed away as well.
