	As for the remorhaz. Sil and Teris were busy with it, as it ~~had~~ swallowed them whole. Vin had been studying it closely, using a bit of Bestow Curse to reduce its vitality. He was preparing a death attack. Took forever though, so I kept it busy by overwhelming its mind with a Confusion Curse. The forcecage I was in came in handy, as it couldn't swallow me. It breathed on me but I'm a lich, bitch. Vin finally landed his death attack and gutted the remorhaz like a giant, frosted over fish. A land fish. With 12 heads. And I think I lost the metaphor.

	Well, we won. Lots of gold, art, and treasure to be had. We also apparently found the Brass Dragon Orb. Looked like junk to me, but I knew the procedure. We had all five metallic orbs, and they started vibrating accordingly. They wanted to be together. They also wanted to be somewhere else. We barely had time to announce our victory to Fellithysaar before we were teleported.		Well, we won. Lots of gold, art, and treasure to be had. We also apparently found the Brass Dragon Orb.

	For this challenge, I anticipated some kind of beast bludeoning me with ~~fire damage of~~ some kind. I enhanced our resistance to fire, linked us mentally, and sent out an Arcane Eye as intel and figured I should get a good look of the room. Then a bigger eye opened as my vision cut off.		For this challenge, I anticipated some kind of beast bludeoning me with some kind of enhanced fire. I enhanced our resistance to fire, linked us mentally, and sent out an Arcane Eye as intel and figured I should get a good look of the room. Then a bigger eye opened as my vision cut off.

	Antimagic field from a Beholder. Great. I also noticed two large black puddings and a Tendriculos (that's what Querca said it was. I guess her nature nonsense came in handy.) So, no melee, no magic. The Puddings would devour anyone close and bathe them with acid. The Tendriculos still had its ridulous range (and some trick to prevent it from regenerating, I didn't get the details.) I gave Sil and Michael some Acid resistance and we began a simple plan to shoot the beholder's eye out. Michael drew his bow and we found a wall of force protecting it. We could beat that with a disintegrate spell, but there's an antimagic field in the way!		Antimagic field from a Beholder. Great.

	The front liners promptly separated. Vin hid somewhere (he wouldn't tell me where, the brat.) Oraine hid somewhere else (but told me where, thank you.) Michael decided to slice off the salactites on the ceiling to drop them on the pudding (maybe he should have started a bit lower.) Sil held her ground and looked for an opening. Ellowyn, Querca and I scratched our asses as we had no conjuration magic and therefore could do nothing in that field (Maybe Querca scratched her trunk?)		The front liners promptly separated.

	Teris, in no mood to fight the encroaching puddings, used his dragon orb to suggest the beholder close its antimagic eye. It actually worked. Unfortunately the antimagic field was supressing one more monster. It was a cryohydra remorhaz. In layman's terms, 12 heads to breathe cold and a body that destroys weapons on contact. Guess I should have chosen cold resistance. Oraine was its first target, and she was blasted with icy shards. She shifted as she rolled out of the way, I guess to reduce ~~damage~~.

	With the antimagic field down the magic users could finally do something. Except for Querca, a pudding ate her. Ellowyn used Dimension Door to get within range of the beholder. I set up a wall of fire (bless this spell) to roast the Tendriculos and get the remorhaz to shuffle out of the way. I was weary of the beholder's disintegrate rays, so I moved behind a pillar for cover and onto some kind of trap. Vin decided to tell me after I triggered it, claiming it was "obvious." It was the classic "Forcecage and poison gas" trap. No problem for me, but may have been trouble for Oraine, who fell into a similar trap.

	We were in a corridor, location unknown. Each door was marked by a lesser dragon god, along with a lofty description.

	Aastilabor: Michael put his hand in and lost 100,000 gold pieces. Honestly, what does she need that for? I bet she can already swim through her already huge horde.
