With Sekkar now in the grasp of one of the thick tentacles, the ranger feels an invisible magical tug attempting to yank Dawnbringer from his hand. (Sekkar: Make a contested Strength check against the brain's Intelligence check of 18 to keep hold on Dawnbringer.)
The tentacles from Pax's rod begin duelling with the tentacles from the brain, slapping each other fiercely but neither finding sufficient purchase to grasp. Kirin's lightning bolt looks like it will strike true, but at the last moment the brain seems to shift aside just enough to only receive a glancing blow. As if in reflex to the shock, the brain suddenly produces several more tentacles, but formed of demonic energy, which flail around erratically, striking Pax and Sekkar before disappearing again. (Pax/Sekkar: Please make a DC 18 STR save. On a fail, take 15 necrotic damage, and you can't take reactions until your next turn. On a save, just take half the damage and that's all.)
The brains mental power over weaker minds continue to manifest as Derendil suddenly turns sharply in his charge at the brain and instead runs instead toward Kaylyn, swinging his muscular arms and sharp claws with a glazed-over expression on his furry face.
The colossal figure in the portal continues to coalesce until the Demon Lord Orcus stands in full horrific detail in the chamber beside the brain - the long dark tunnel behind him adding to the eerie effect. With a voice that grinds like the sliding of a stone sarcophagus lid, the demon lord speaks - the words that spill like a plague from his skeletal maw are in Abyssal, but all present hear them in their mind, like a stab from a disease-ridden blade:
I AM HERE, MY PET. FEAR NOT. WE WILL SQUASH THESE MORTAL BUGS.
Spotting Pax at his feet, he swats at her twice with his massive skull-tipped wand.
Wand of Orcus v Pax Attack #1: 34 Damage: 18 bludgeoning plus 14 necrotic Attack #2: 35 Damage: 23 bludgeoning plus 14 necrotic
(Is Pax still concentrating on Hex? Technically you can add necrotic damage to Pax's tentacle attacks, but I'll tell you now that it doesn't do anything harmful to the brain. But if you want to maintain it, and you somehow take damage, then make a concentration check.)
-----------------------------------
Next up: Kaylyn, Rhayna and Sekkar!
Bless is still active unless Rhayna chooses to drop it.
(If anyone needs the map positions updated for any reason, please let me know. I just didn't have enough of a need for it myself to take the time, but I'm happy to do it if it's helpful.)
(Will wait for Kaylyn’s post b4 posting. I think Rhayna is still concentrating on Bless. Her priorities have changed, but her cleric duties remain, it’s just they are like in the background now.)

Pax Strength save vs : DC 18 : 13
Pax shrugs off the necrotic powered tentacles from the brain. Then she faces off against the demon lord. His first swing slams into her, crashing through her shadow armor. The cold energy zaps up his arms even as it extinguishes. (15 cold damage). His second slash hits her full force and she stumbles back, barely managing to maintain her footing and looking sorely hurt.

Kaylyn, for her part, has no desire to be any closer to a demon lord than needed and while being grappled by a large tentacle.
Again she dissolves into a silvery mist and reappears outside of the range of the tentacles towards where Rhayna is inside the room. (Bonus action Misty Step)
She then draws out the yellow diamond elemental gem and breaks it drawing forth an Earth Elemental 10 feet in front of her. "Kill the brain, then the demon lord! Attack!" She calls to it.
Earth Elemental Initiative 10
She then moves backwards towards Rhayna and Kirin back where she was originally.
Rhayna sees Kaylyn pop in and out of existence, and her colleague ends up right next to her. "Ohh, perfect. You are back Kaylyn. Can you please watch over Kirin? Thank you dear." The Cleric takes out her Journal, and makes her way to the undead elder brain, but she is blocked by the huge Earth elemental. "Hummm... Excuse." She says to the elemental. "You are blocking my way."
(So I guess Rhayna ends up behind the earth elemental.)

Sekkar and Pax are hard pressed now, but manage to stand firm against the physical and mental assaults from Orcus and the Elder Brain. Derendil looks around in confusion as Kaylyn disappears and the elemental materialises nearby, but after a few moments the quaggoth again locks eyes on his target, ignoring the equally confused Rhayna as she walks toward and then politely past the elemental.
With Sekkar still in the grip of one of the decomposing tentacles, but resisting the mental tug on his sword, the brain instead tries a more mundane attack, lashing out at the captive lizardman with another tentacle. Sekkar responds with both mind and blade, the spectral snake curling up the arm that wields the grateful sword, supplying some vital healing even as the sunblade seeks to destroy her master's captor.
Cyrog concentration check (DC 10): 16 (if it fails, will use 2nd legendary resistance to succeed instead)
Tentacle Attack v Sekkar: 14 Damage: 22 bludgeoning, and on a hit the target is grappled
Orcus extends his empty hand toward the lizardman, holding it above the brain for a moment as a ghostly skeletal hand appears, clutching Sekkar in its grip as if from the hand of Death itself, while the chilling, grating voice of the Demon Lord is again heard:
SUMMON YOUR CHILDREN, CYROG, MY PET. LET US END THIS.
If the spell is identifiable as it is being cast, I'll link it like so. If it is obvious that the spell is being cast, but not which spell it is, then I will call it 'unknown spell' Chill Touch v Sekkar. (Despite its power, it is still only a cantrip.) Attack: 17 Damage: 22 necrotic, and Sekkar can't regain hit points until the start of Orcus's next turn.
Yet another tentacle lashes at Sekkar as the telepathic energy of the brain (who is apparently called Cyrog) washes outward like a shockwave. After a mere second or two of pause, a rippling in the air is sensed in all directions - multiple points of space shimmering in a way that is more felt than seen, but each of which unmistakably heralds the impending arrival of a teleporting being. The children of Cyrog are returning, and the Demon Lord of Undeath towers above their parent with arm outstretched like a puppet master holding the strings.
