"Oh, how I wish I'd prepared banishment today," I gripe quietly, before lighting an 11-damage bonfire on the mold on the far side of the portal, if only to see whether or not it's susceptible to fire.
Dex Save: 17 It seems to avoid most of the fire, swirling around the edges of the ground, and even what it does take doesn't seem to hurt it that much. (Resistant, takes 2 Damage)
The tentacles continue to write around slashing out at the nearest targets.
Attack on Eldeth: Attack: 16 Damage: 20 Attack on Oorr: Attack: 26 Damage: 17 Attack on Brox: Attack: 19 Damage: 14
The strange buzzing noise continues to emanate from the portal as well. (OOG If you are NOT affected by Confusion and you are within 30 feet of the portal, please roll a DC 18 Wisdom Save. On a failure you have disadvantage on the next attack/saving throw/ability check. If you fail by 5 or more, then you are Confused)
Having rid myself of the confusion, I test another cantrip--frostbite.
Damage: 10
Con Save: 13 The Alkilith seems to resist most of the damaging cold from the frost, though you solidly coat it in various icy crystals. (Resistant Cold, 5 Damage)
After teetering on the edge of the portal, Eldeth looks around, fretting and then takes off running... (8) ... directly into the portal. You see her fall over the edge, and into the Abyss.
(OOG For transparency, I chose a starting place for the direction and the die numbers. So if North is up, and West is left, then 1 is NW, 2 is N, 3 is NE, 4 is E, 5 is SE, 6 is S, 7 is SW, and 8 is W. Since I rolled an 8, Eldeth moved West or left, which is directly into the portal.)
7 - 8 - The creature uses its action to make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach. If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn.
The noise is so strong, it is affecting Grimnir's mind. He loses track of reality and attack randomly a creature (OOC: DM's choice)

Sword: 20, damage 6
Grimnir swings wildly, but no one is in range of the sword, thankfully.
Brox sees Eldeth vanishing in the depth. Grimnir is fighting invisible enemies in his head. She hears the noise, she feels that she succumbs to this creature. But the light inside her shines strong. She can push through.
Brox has had enough of this. She pulls out her golden amulet, showing a green oak tree leaf. "This is enough, this is the light! You have no quarry here! Return to your hole, return to your world! This world is protected!"
She infuses her words with magic while channeling her protecting divinity.
[OOC: Channel divinity: turn the faithless: WIS DC 14 or be turned for 1 min for any fiend or fey within 30ft that can hear me]

A green light shines forth from Brox and over the Alkilith. Part of the slime and ooze surrounding the portal breaks apart, and begins to curl in on itself quickly dissolving around the circle. Suddenly the portal is gone, leaving a gaping hole in the ground. At the northern edge of the hole is a small mass of ooze and slime and tentacles. It moves quickly, more quickly than you would expect it to, and dashes 80 feet away into the market place. Pushed by the light of Brox's channel divinity.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Confusion roll Brox: 4
This time, Brox cannot fight the confusion. She feels strongly that she needs to follow that creature, she is just not sure, which way it headed.
[So if North is up, and West is left, then 1 is NW, 2 is N, 3 is NE, 4 is E, 5 is SE, 6 is S, 7 is SW, and 8 is W.] direction roll: 7
She starts running as fast as she can - following the monster in a straight line, forgetting that there is still a big hole. With a scream she falls down the hole.

She starts running as fast as she can - following the monster in a straight line, forgetting that there is still a big hole. With a scream she falls down the hole.
Brox's scream is cut short as she falls into what she now realizes is a shallow pit. With the portal gone, it's just a large dent in the ground. You do fall about 15 feet however, and take 5 bludgeoning damage as you strike the ground.
The Alkilith continues to run, heedless of the attacks from Oorr and Grimnir. (Who now get opportunity attacks.)
The sounds of boots and clinking metal gets closer, and you see a contingent of guards from Gauntlgrym approaching from behind you, as well as in the direction the Alkilith is running. You spot Bruenor in the distance who signals for his guards to attack the fleeing fiend.
The Alkilith takes a slash from Grimnir, but continues to run away. Right into the crowd of dwarven guards. On Bruenor's orders, they begin to tear into the beast. In it's frightened state, it puts up no resistance. After just a few seconds, the guard have finished with the beast, leaving nothing but a slimy, goopy, mess covering the ground and their weapons and armor.
The rumbling throughout the Vault of Kings seems to die down. The orange glow of fire dies down throughout the cavern, and you hear a large groaning loudly throughout the halls. The groaning dies down, and then it is eerily silent.
"By Moradin's beard, what was that slime?"shouts Bruenor rushing forward. "It seems Maegera has calmed down with the fiend defeated, thank the gods. Are you okay? Where is Eldeth?"
Several guards help Brox from the pit, and dust her off from the fall. You gather in the middle of the market place with Bruenor, while his guards and several members of the other factions help begin to clean up the area.

Moderator"Eldeth fell... into the Abyss. I... she... is gone." Oorr's voice breaks under the emotion in acknowledging the fall of a friend.
"King Bruenor, let me talk to Maegera. She is an ancient being, very much so. She might have the insight we need."
