Tower of the Archmage: Stonehell: Defenestration!

Morgana preps a “Protection from Evil 10’ Radius” scroll, and then the party heads back to the manor, going directly to the groundskeeper’s house, and to the summoning room. The red mist demon shows up, and slams Lor’Koth before Koltic can turn it. Morgana dispels the ritual circle and Borumar grabs the crystal skull within. Koltic uses a protection from evil spell and grabs the sack with the skull in it from Borumar.

They then continue into the main house through the kitchen and up the servant’s stairs. At the top of the landing is a little office area with a ledger. They spend a brief bit of time examining it then explore the upper rooms. The servant areas are bypassed and into the family areas. They discover a ghost of a woman who chats with them, and tells them a bit about the house. In another bedroom they fight some more imps.

Moving onto the impressive library, they find a pair of brute demons. Borumar, who opened the door quickly closed it, but the demon simply smashed through the door to grab him, and pull him through the door, and then toss him out the window. Borumar landed on the stone patio mostly intact, if unconscious. Morgana dimension doors to Borumar to tend to him, but the second demon hops out the broken window. Morgana uses her protection from evil 10’ radius to protect herself and Borumar. She then shoves a potion of healing and a potion of giant growth down his throat. The demon screams in impotent rage.

Back in the library, the demon is blocked from the rest of the party by Koltic’s protection from evil 10’ spell. It gives up on them and begins chucking chunks of masonry at Morgana and Borumar. They both avoid the missiles. Borumar pops up after the potion boosts and uses his bow to blast the demon, who slides back a few feet from the force of the shot. Morgana follows that up with a lightning bolt, and the demon drops, and the porch collapses, dropping Borumar, Morgana, and the burning demon corpse into a basement room.

After they shake it off, Morgana casts ice storm on the demon still chucking stones. It jumps down and lands on Morgana. With a toot, the Horn of Valhalla summons a dozen berzerkers who flail ineffectively on the hurt demon. This distracts it enough that Borumar is able to slip in and use his daggers to finish it off.

The rest of the party hurries back out of the manor, and they head back to town with the crystal skull.
