He loads the items up (with the help of a golem and Elementals) and move s it into his OtherSpace, then he releases the Elementals, has his golem “not resist” the Warp Marble to capture him, and then unfurls the Flying Carpet and heads up and out.
As he looks around, he spots a mire to the west where the lake and a small river meet. There is something moving down there. The Westlake Road curves around that side of the lake, so Alzar flits over to check things out,
Strange vines and plants are creeping forth from the swamp, and Alzar notices an unnatural feel, like the deathcloud is influencing the land as well. The mire isn’t that big. Its roughly 6 miles by 4 miles at its widest, and more of a line than a square or circle shaped. He slides his Carpet down.
The movement is a group of 10 more Manscorpions. He has Azzil check them out invisibly and reports back that one appears to be a cleric, and the party appears to be identical to the group encountered before. Remembering the clue that the Hammer parts were likely hidden by manscorpions, he plans a method of attacking them. He drops down and swings into spell range, wanting to hit the cleric before it can hit him. Init. 4 vs 5
Alzar casts Power Word, Stun. It’s stunned. No return.
Next turn, still flying above them, Alzar casts Evard’s Black Tentacles as the Imp heads over to finish the paralyzed cleric. A few spears are thrown at Alzar to little effect, and then they start taking some damage from the 23 tentacles grabbing them. While concentrating on the tentacles, Alzar grabs the empty skull from his belt, casts Skulltrap, and drops it into the center of their party. It deals 20d4 damage (it’s actually 2d4 + 1d4/spell level, no max, so technically, its 24d4, but I’m going to cap it at 20d4, just like local Mystaran spells without a cap). 48 damage, save for half, and it will destroy the remaining tentacles but only two manscoprions are still alive. Alzar lands and finishes them easily.
