Simeon reels from the effects of the sphinx's foul magic. As his head begins to clear, he looks around the room, hoping the others will manage without him for a moment...

"Thank you, Harmony," Abraxas whispers. He peers at the sphinx and casts Vitriolic Sphere using Sculpt Spell to target the creature specifically. The DEX DC is 15 for 29 and perhaps 16 on the next round.

The sphinx, clearly having trouble keeping track of Abraxas's whereabouts, takes the full force of the ball of acid that explodes upon its back. It wheels downward, nearly landing upon Garu. The paladin tries, but is unable to maintain the focus on her moonbeam; it dissipates, but not after hovering over the sphinx for another few seconds. Three more glowing darts strike the side of the creature's face as Mro Jus Bir shouts, "That is all I have!"
Harmony and Simeon continue to struggle against the magical confusion that presses upon their minds, while Mro Jus Bur prepares to charge in toward the sphinx.
OOC: Harmony and Simeon are still confused, but Harmony can temporarily move and take an Action this turn. Both can repeat the Wisdom saving throw at the end of their turn.
Abraxas considers his spells, mentally sorts through his arcane options, and casts Lightning Bolt, using Sculpt Spell again to protect his allies. DEX DC of 15 or 20 damage. The bolt arcs from between his hands.

Abraxas accidentally rolled 6d8 instead of 8d6, so I'll reroll the damage.

A searing line of lightning crackles outward from Abraxas, slamming into the sphinx and rocking it into the wall. The monstrosity staggers forward, its humanoid face locked in an expression of rage, but Garu and Mro Jus Bur seize the opening. With two swift strikes, one piercing its heart, the wise and ancient creature falls into a permanent slumber.
Simeon gazes at the remarkable creature, strangely saddened by its fate. "An ironic end to the beast's wisdom,"he muses aloud.
Informing the others of his waning strength, Simeon says, "I can muster the energy for a only few more spells, friends. Turmaether has required much of me thus far."
He then leads the group through the door so vigilantly guarded by the sphinx...
(Only 3 spell slots available to Simeon now: two at 1st level; one at 3rd level)
Harmony was thankful as they finally defeated the sphinx and she regained her senses. She heard Simeon, nodding back as she would have followed the group.

OOC: Thank you again, Barty.
Abraxas considers the body of the sphinx as he crosses the room as well. An unfortunate loss. "I have," he says, "four minor healing potions, if anyone feels the need." He drinks one himself: 9.
Garu looks herself over. "I am, by the grace of Tylyn, in good shape. That was a great way to work together everyone. I have just over half my spell slots remaining. Is anyone in need of healing?"

"I am afraid that I am out of energy myself," Mro Jus Bir intones, shaking his flute as if that will recharge it. "But no worries, my close and personal friend--"
"Bodyguard,"Mro Jus Bur interrupts as usual.
"--Mro Jus Bur will not run out of energy with his trusty sword so quickly," Mro Jus Bir finishes.
Simeon leads the party through the next door, ascending the twelfth set of stairs you have traveled in the citadel, and through another doorway.
There are no other doors in this room, only a deep pool in the center. Six creatures stand among the ledge that circles the pool, each holding their hands upward toward the middle of the room and chanting. They are as tall as a human, and would resemble bipedal barracuda were it not for their demonic faces - two per creature. Two of the creatures turn one of their heads toward you, grinning as their other heads continue to chant.
"I smell blood," one says.
"Homesick blood always tastes the best," the other cackles. The others join in the laughter. The center of the room begins to glow from a small bead of light.
Simeon surveys the room and the bizarre creatures within it. Their laughter suggests trouble lies ahead; so Simeon takes hold of a scroll of ogre summoning and holds it in such a way as to alert the others.
Harmony shivered as she saw the creatures with the demonic faces, hearing them. She saw Simeon and the others get ready, nodding as she also pulls out one of her Owlbear Summoning scrolls too.

Mro Jus Bur meets the creatures' charge head on. One of them has fallen in a matter of seconds, defenseless against his blade. It splashes into the pool as Mro Jus Bir calls out, "They are Kavnari, take caution! They feed on the wounds they create in their enemies. Do not give them the upper hand!"
Simeon reels from the effects of the sphinx's foul magic. As his head begins to clear, he looks around the room, hoping the others will manage without him for a moment...
Harmony suddenly feels herself getting really dizzy, feeling sick and wondering where she is even at right now.
WIS Save: 3
Garu steps back into the room, maintaining concentration on the Moonbeam and moves it to align with the position of the sphinx.

Abraxas moves so that if he casts a Slow spell as many of the creatures as possible will be caught in it.

Harmony shivered as she saw the creatures with the demonic faces, hearing them. She saw Simeon and the others get ready, nodding as she also pulls out one of her Owlbear Summoning scrolls too.
The creatures provide little time for preparation, leaping toward you as the scrolls come out.
