Pulling his sword free of the now-pulverized tentacles took some work, and slowed down his next swing at the beast.

Carson called back to the group.<br/><br/>Andrei was looking quite bruised.  Zull winced as she rubbed her face which now bore a red vertical welt from the tentacle slam.  Lillin was sitting on the ground.  "I feel like shit," she muttered.  "Carson, give me your sword?"<br/><br/>"What for?" he asked as he handed it to her.<br/><br/>To the others' shock she touched her finger to the tip of the blade, causing a crimson bead to form.  Then she incanted something in the Infernal tongue ("Oh entities of Hell, I call upon your power to heal me so that I may take vengeance on those who harmed me!" is an accurate translation to Kleris' ears).  At first nothing seemed to happen, but over time her scrapes and bruises faded away.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spellcraft DC 14</div><div class="spoiler_body">Infernal Healing spell.  Lillin's a tiefling, so the devil blood material component could be obtained from her own body.  She'd be of Hellish heritage, then.</div></div><br/>Carson and the others filled her in on the recent happenings, but Lillin cut them off.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I felt that something was wrong immediately," she said.  "One of the Allainian 'students' was a demon in disguise.  I tried to intervene, but she wasn't the only one, and that...creature she summoned grabbed me and took me back here to...well, feed on me, I guess."<br/><br/>The tiefling gave a look of disgust on her face.  "I don't know what that demon's planning or wants, but we need to stop her!"<br/><br/>"I'm kind of running low on spells right now," Zull said, "and I'm still smarting from that fight."<br/><br/>"I can still fight," Carson said.  "How about you, Kleris?"<br/><br/>"I'm not looking good spellwise, either, but I do have some of my vampiric powers to rely on if the need arises."<br/><br/>Carson HP 23/23<br/>Andrei 8/15<br/>Zull 10/16<br/>Lillin 19/20<br/><br/><em>Kleris gains 300 experience points for defeating the Tentacle Monster!</em><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Stocking Up</span></div><br/>By the time Lillin got dressed, the hallways were more or less back to normal.  A lone door, creaking open in the wind, shot out a gleam of silver.  Within was a surprising sight.<br/><br/>A miniature arsenal, of beakers of acid and alchemist's fire (and alchemist's frost, same but cold), short swords, daggers, and blades of all lengths and materials (adamantine, cold iron, silver, even mithral!), and even a few wands and some belt pouches to hold them and the alchemical vials!<br/><br/>What was even more surprising was the sight of the prefect Utari lying naked on top of Arturon, also equally unclad.  Their flesh was covered in a copious layer of sweat (and bodily fluids pooling on the floor between their legs); both of their faces were half-asleep smiles of drooling bliss.  Arturon's familiar, the raven Edgar, looked on in disgust.<br/><br/>"They've been...that way for quite some time now," Edgar said.  "I don't think they'll be getting up any time soon.  So, who's the one responsible for all this chaos?"<br/><br/>"A lust demon," Andrei answered.  "And we intend to put a stop to her!"<br/><br/>"Be my guest," Edgar said.  "For the time being, I can double as a temporary familiar for any of you if you so desire."<br/><br/>"Kleris already has an Arcane Bond, and I have a patron already," Zull said.<br/><br/>"Carson and I are Magi, so that leaves Lillin."<br/><br/>Edgar flew down to her shoulder.  "And so it is," he said.  "There, that simple."<br/><br/><em>Arm Kleris with 2,000 gold pieces worth of alchemical supplies, wands, weapons, armor, or consumable magic items.<br/><br/>If you're at a loss at what to choose, my recommendations are a scroll of Banishment (1,650 gp), and Protection from Evil-Communal (150 gp), and/or perhaps Web or Summon Monster II/III.</em><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Back to the Big Party</span></div><br/><div align="center">(http://i.imgur.com/ptzO4ml.jpg?1)</div><br/>"Oh, welcome to my wild little bacchanal," the demon said as Kleris' party first stepped foot into the grand hallway.  "Oh, but you don't look ready to make love;

Carson said with a fist pump.  "When you bring harm to one of our own, you stand against us all!  And we'll send you back to whatever fiendish plane spawned you!"<br/><br/>"That's right!"

Zull shouted, her eyes glowing strangely red...<br/><br/>"Oh, you mean the human over there?"<br/><br/>The lust demon pointed to Travis, who was received a double blowjob from two girls.<br/><br/>"GAAAAAHHH!!!"<br/><br/><em>Zull's now under the effects of a Spell Rage.  Like a Barbarian Rage, but to Intelligence and Charisma.</em><br/><br/>"We'll show you what us Rams are made of!" Lillin exclaimed.<br/><br/>"Fine, very well," the demon said.  "I don't think your peers will agree, however..."<br/><br/>At once, the naked students partaking in the pleasures of the flesh rose as one to turn their gazes to the intruders.<br/><br/>"Strip them," she said, and the naked mob rushed Kleris' group...<br/><br/>There was a portal below the tentacled mass, which Kleris could identify as an extraplanar portal and power conduit.  It could be vulnerable to protection and banishing-related spells...<br/><br/><em>Instead of running this as a typical fight, declare an appropriate skill roll for Kleris' actions or a spell.</em><br/><br/>Carson charged shoulder-first into the mob.  Andrei shapeshifted into a bat to elude their grasping reach.  Zull carved a grease spell onto the floor by the students and trampled over them.  Lillin made an illusory double with<em>silent image</em>and ran parallel to it, hopefully confusing a few of the brainwashed students...<br/><br/><em>What does Kleris do?</em>
