Alzar uses his Crystal Ball to scout ahead, and finds out the basic layout of the area. He wants to find the ideal place to cast his defensive spell.
There is an archway at the top of the stairs, with a large glowing Symbol. Alzar swaps helms to the Reading one, and it’s a Symbol of Discord, placed here by a high level priest. A Dispel Magic spell banishes it, and then they enter.
Beyond the archway is a large chamber rising 70 feet above to a rough ceiling. Jumped piles of statues, draperies, silks, utensils, silverware ,and more are here, but none look that valuable (total value is 5000 gp). (Afterwards, Alzar will teleport it home to his Keep to add to make some things a little pimpier.)
Off to the right is a small chamber, and there is a large group of undead here, and they have begun to move out. Here are:
10 Death Leeches,
10 ghouls
20 skeletons
20 zombies
They cannot be turned or controlled – the deathcloud prevents it. Alzar spins and casts Banishment, and 5 Death Leeches are gone, and his Elementals and golem move to keep him from being disturbed. Battle is about to begin and Alzar casts Hold Undead. Several ghouls are held, but the Death Leeches aren’t undead, so they are unaffected. Battle begins.
9 vs 3. The death leeches hit an earth elemental a few times for 11 damage with their tentacles (after they resume their true form) The others can’t penetrate the magical defenses of the golem/elementals. Alzar orders them o focus on the death leeches, and two turns later, they are all killed. The rest are smashed shortly thereafter. 12500 XP for Alzar.
