The party emerges from Vestress’ extradimensional airbnb, fully rested and newly leveled up, and ready to journey to the fourth and final Augmenter Brain.

Vestress keeps the nasty hallway trap deactivated, but as they open the door into the large, two-story guard room, they find Shava there with a small army of Merrow!

She’s ready to destroy these meddlesome adventurers once and for all. Vestress is eager to exact her revenge.

Mac fires a lightning arrow in the crowd, but notices something’s amiss. Savra launches a 7th level fireball, and a similar rippling effect spreads through the army. No noticeable damage whatsoever!?

Torrel finally swims into the room and casts detect magic, realizing the army is an illusion created by a nearby creature lurking in the western hallway.

The eye of the deep is projecting images of the army, while the real forces are hidden below, and spring out to surprise attack!

Torrel is quickly surrounded while Gotwald charges forward. Vestress is first to the scene however, and Shava pops out to battle her.

Vestress casts wall of force to keep Shava separated from her army and the two undead have a fierce cage match, leaving the party to deal with the army, plus the strange fishy beholder.

The eye of the deep unleashes one of its eye beams down the hallway, blanketing the party in a cone of cold, which nearly kills their friend Bogas!

Torrel responds by casting banishment on the eye, trapping it in other demiplane. Torrel retreats, but other forces nail him with range attacks, nearly taking him down. Thankfully he holds on to his concentration.

Gotwald and Mac swim into the enemy backline to take down the sahuagin priestesses. They’ve failed to paralyze party members, and switch to spirit guardians for damage.

But then Savra unleashes a devastating 7th level lightning bolt from the staff of the magi, and everyone fails, vaporizing almost all the merrow in a single blast! (And also taking out Mac’s drake — sorry Cheese!)

Shava paralyzes Vestress, emerging from the downed wall of force to find her army depleted. Enraged and desperate, she launches shadowy bolts, but the party soon surround and take her down.

Vestress is annoyed that she couldn’t do it herself, but praises the party’s skills. Torrel drops the eye of the deep back into the world and the party (plus Vestress) easily deal over 100 damage to take it down in a single round. Damn!

Torrel helps himself to Shava’s rod of the pact keeper +2, a mighty fine upgrade to his capabilities.

With Shava and her forces destroyed, the ruins are cleared, but the threat of Zellix’Phor and the colony remains. Vestress leads the party out of the ruins and back into the gigantic chamber that houses the recently built illlithid domes.

She can mask the party from the colony’s detection as they make their way toward the fourth and final Augmenter Brain.
