Two vampires, in gaseous form sort of acting as bouncers. You wouldn’t even know what’s going on here. Alzar puts the Star away and heads back to eating. After six minutes pass, he reaches out with his necrotic powers and begins to dominate the Vampires mentally, and control them. As he does, no one notices. Alzar refuses to look up which may give a guilty look. They Vampires begin to float towards the feasters. Alzar needs a distraction. They turn into their normal forms, and then launch an attack in a nearby Cloud Giant and Air Elemental.
In a moment, battle has begun.
A few folks are turning Alzar’s way, suspecting he is behind it, but the lock of elven hair is in his hand and he begins to cast one of his most powerful spells….Wail of the Banshee. Up to 26 listeners hear him. Here are the targets:
2 Airdrakes
8 Air Elementals
4 Lesser Djinni
2 Cloud Giants
4 Stalkers
4 Servants
50 Air Fundamentals
5 Airlike Humanoids
So there are 26 targets, and 3 humanoids left, skipping the Fundamentals.
Here’s what happens:
Make a save. Fail? You die instantly. (-1 to the save due to Alzar’s kit)
11 enemies fall dead. The vampires are immune and untargeted anyway. They slay an un-Wailed Air Elemental.
With 12 creatures dead in one round, and with their vampires turning against them, they make a morale check.
All begin to flee except the mindless cloud of Air Fundamentals, and the 3 Stalkers and 1 Servant left alive, since they are controlled. Alzar lets them. Initiative.
Alzar wins (7 vs 9) and needs a way to clean out the low level Air Fundamentals. He casts Death Spell. This kills all creatures, no save, of 2 HD or less, and will hit 4d20. That’s more than enough to snuff out the horde of Fundamentals.
One of Alzar’s vampires takes 9 damage from a Stalker. Alzar loses init, and the vamp takes 10 more, bu regenerates as well. Alzar casts Hold Monster and two enemies are frozen for a few rounds. The vampires move in and snack on a frozen Stalker.
A few rounds later, Alzar’s vampires have healed, and the Stalkers and Servant are done.
Alzar grabs the magical amulet from the dead Airdrake’s body.
The giant noble djinni and Pasha has been watching the battle and getting more and more irritated, but not enough to do anything. Only a handful of airs are left in the area, around the edge of the large space. Those air creatures that could flee, went back to the Air Elemental Plane.
