Bilyur’s opportunity strike on the fiend hits cleanly, and the Maurezhi suddenly finds itself unable to even take another step forward towards it's prey. [DC 15 CON Save: 6 + 1 =7] Its ghast thrall then aims to get revenge on its master's attacker, raking the gnome once again with its claws, and whilst they don't pain Bilyur, they still have a chance to weaken him in other ways, which would make him the perfect victim for the Maurezhi's draining bite, or at least it would as soon as its back in action.
Ghast: Bite: 15 + 5 = 20, no damage and Bilyur must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. On a failure he can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of his turns, ending the effect on himself on a success.
It is now Eggo's turn (take 2!)
Initiative Order Maurezhi: 23 Ghast: 19 Eggo Lass: 19 <- CURRENT TURN Xarkris: 16 Techi: 6 Sly: 5 Bilyur: 3
Xarkris sees the excellent opportunity that was created by his teammate, Bilyur, and excitedly takes advantage of the maurezhi's PRONE and INCAPACITATED condition. He takes 2 swings at the monster with his battle axe
1st Attack- (8,19) for a 25 TO HIT. I rolled a 6 (+5) for a modified 11, plus 4 for HUNTER"S MARK damage for a total of 15 points of slashing damage. 2nd Attack- (19,5) for a 25 TO HIT. I rolled an 8 (+5) for a modified 13, plus 3 for HUNTER's MARK damage for a total of 16 points of slashing damage.
Xarkris roars in delight at the battered body of the maurezhi and ENDS TURN.

Xarkris roars in delight at the battered body of the maurezhi and ENDS TURN.
I'm not sure, Shiver correct me if I'm wrong, but I think stunned treats all hits as crits.
Eggo's two blasts still manage to hit the ghast, despite having to move around Xarkris, and it is thrusted against the wall with enough force to cause it to vomit up a few entrails, along with some half eaten fingers. It's still just hanging on however, as is the Maurezhi after Xarkris butchers it's immobile body with his greataxe, his active spell yet again enhancing what would otherwise be an attack the fiend could resist.
Techi then shouts 'They're looking weak, we can finish this soon!', and sends a quartet of howling talisman effigies after the pair, with each of them receiving two of the unavoidable attacks. [Maurezhi: Takes 5 + 4 force damage, Ghast: takes 2 + 4 force damage] The pair are now looking incredibly worse for wear, and seem to match the dead ghouls on the floor in terms of appearance.
Sly is up!
Initiative Order Maurezhi: 23 Ghast: 19 Eggo Lass: 19 Xarkris: 16 Techi: 6 Sly: 5 <- CURRENT TURN Bilyur: 3
Each of Sly's quills strike the Maurezhi in its skull, and an inky, black bile like blood begins to runs down its face. You then all hear a buzzing message in your head from the fiend, its final words, 'Ah. What a folly that was. I hope you enjoy the regret and misery that will weigh on your mind, knowing each day that I could have changed that. I'll certainly have some of those thoughts on my return to the Abyss.' It then violently bursts into a thick and gloopy demonic ichor that coats whoever stands near it, including the ghast, which howls in mourning.
Bilyur is up!
Initiative Order Maurezhi: 23 Ghast: 19 Eggo Lass: 19 Xarkris: 16 Techi: 6 Sly: 5 Bilyur: 3 <- CURRENT TURN
Bilyur, who I'm just remembering, is in shifted form, claws the ghast twice (23 to hit for 9 slashing, 12 to hit for 16) and then clenches his fists and punches him twice (13 to hit for 10 bludgeoning, and 23 to hit for 10 bludgeoning.)
Bilyur easily finishes off the Ghast, though it seems the undead had lost all resolve at the death of its master, as it doesn't fight back at all as Bilyur rakes through it to leave all of the ghouls, ghasts and fiends, after a long and arduous battle, finally dead.
Eggo Lass puts her wand away after the battle with a mild "hrmmph." She then suggests, "Perhaps a little rest would be in order? We are in a defensive location right now."
Eggo Lass is grateful for Sly's magical protection as she takes a seat. "Another reason to doubt that fiend's offers." she smirks, "When it comes to contracts they always say the devil is in the details, not demon."
[[ shall we mark off short rest now? ]]
As the end of the rest comes she says, "Still a lot to explore in this place. Think some familiars would be in order?"
opportunity attack: 24 to hit for 8 damage. Since it's a new turn, Stunning Strike attempt again to prevent it from leaving. Another DC 15 CON save.

Sly keeps concentrating on speeding up Bilyurs movements and throws a handful of magic quills in the face of the Maurezhi. [3 x 4 = 12 force damage]

Sly raises an eyebrow at Bilyur. "I'd certainly not want to linger in this hellhole, but what makes you say that?"
"My magic is all but spent. I can conjure an impenetrable dome that will repel all but the worst of threats while we gather our strength."
A short rest would be appropriate, if allowed
