Eftalia begins to kneel at the command of Soren, but then a look of concentration fills her face and she suddenly stands.  (Legendary Resistance, chooses to succeed on a Saving Throw she fails).  "You are stronger than you look.  I must act quickly." 

She looks towards the wall of fire and surmises where Calisto would be and again throws he spear in her direction which again passes through Areus on its way for 22 radiant damage.  The spear again appears back in her hands.

A scream is heard from inside the wall of fire, but you cannot see what is happening inside.

Areus reacts to the attack and strengthens himself as he then speaks the words and grows in size.  He then viciously attacks Eftalia and with his last and final blow she is defeated!

Gundak and Nalke suddenly stop their attacks and back away from the fight but Dakun, in his hatred for you, lashes out at Soren

Attack: 10 Damage: 20

 But he misses!

Tisto, Saya and Callaphe are up 

Soren (49/74), Areus (29/106), Calisto (157), Gundak (23), Dakun (23), Nalke (21), Tisto (52/60), Saya (31/69), Callaphe (44/62) 

Notes:

Attacks on the Minotaur are now made with advantage.

Tisto leaves the maddened minotaur to Soren and appearing to ignore the fact that Calisto is surrounded by a wall of flame turns to the rest of the party and says "right what's next?"

Saya runs to Dakun ,and tries to restrain him. “Enough!!”

Saya Athletics: 20

Athletics 24

Tisto leaves the wall of flame up around Calisto, who has made no move or sound.  Saya tries to restrain Dakun who seems he still wants to fight as he throws her arms off of him and growls in hatred at you.

Callaphe, Soren and Areus are up. Attacks vs Dakun are with advantage.

 Callaphe is up

Callaphe fires at one of the remaining Minotaurs

Attack: 17 Damage: 10 + Hunters Mark 6

(I couldn't see Callpahe's roll, so I rolled it again and got a crit!)

Callaphe takes careful aim at Dakun as she marks him and her arrow pierces his throat and the minotaur falls dead.

Gundak and Nalke are clearly not interested in fighting you, Eftalia is dead and the fate of Calisto can only be guessed but until Tisto drops the Wall of Fire and you can see what happened to her you cannot be certain.

Areus, still enhanced by the fragment's power, maintains a defensive stance pointing his gigantic spear at the wall of fire. "Calisto! You are alone now! Surrender to us and let's peacefully leave the Underworld." shouts the Akroan.
"Tisto, could you please remove your wall of fire?"

Saya approaches Areus and delivers some healing. (Cure Wounds 3rd lvl)

"Tisto, could you please remove your wall of fire?" Areus asks. In a voice full of indignation Tisto responds "did you see what that ***** tried to do, suck the life right out of my bones she did. We trusted her and did what the gods wanted and look what happened. NO!,  she can stay there until I get proof she wont try and off one of us again. While she;s there nobody can get at her so I'm doing what the Gods wanted!" 

"Tisto" Soren says in a low voice. "We cant see her, and we definitely cant let her escape."

"Tisto, Soren is right, if we can't see her we can not be sure of what she is doing." Areus turns towards the satyr "Please remove the wall of fire."

(Anyone else could use healing?)

After healing Areus, Saya readies her shield and battleaxe, in case Calisto still wants to fight.

Sorry for Tisto's tardiness. As a hobby I chase (i.e. ground crew) for Hot air balloons and we've got an annual festival here in Canberra which means lots of early mornings.

Anyway without further ado

Tisto looks at the rest of the party and says "ok but only because you said please but if she attacks us again I'm not going to be very happy!" as he plays a gentle note on his pipes and the flames dissapate.

As the wall of flame falls away you find the burnt and charred corpse of Calisto. She is clearly dead.

Gundak and Nalke let their axes fall as they sling them onto their backs.

Gundak speaks "We were dead, but she raised us in some way, gave us 'life' in some strange way.  We are still dead, and yet not dead. We do not understand.  But we were under her power.  That control was released when this other, Eftalia, threw her spear at the end.  That blow killed Calisto for it was at that moment that her control over us ended.  We do not wish to fight you, we were allies once.  Let us go, we will find our own way.  We cannot return to the natural world."

Tisto looks at the charred body "oops even though we didn't kill her the gods always like to blame somebody when some goes wrong. I mean there supposedly omi whatsit which means they can never be wrong so we'll get blamed anyhow." He pauses "didn't she have one of the mask bits" he comments as he wanders over to her body and starts looking for the mask fragment.

"The Gods are our witnesses, we tried to stop this senseless conflict, but Eftalia and Calisto didn't listen to us." Areus points his giant spear in the direction of Calisto "That is the result." The hoplite returns to his normal size and walks next Calisto's body. As soon as Tisto finishes to search for the mask, Areus removes his cloak and warps it on Calisto's body. "It could have ended differently, you made the wrong choice." 
He turns towards the rest of the group "What now? I feel that we should not leave her here. How do we return to the world of the living?"

(Has it been more than a minute? Also, does anyone happens to have a diamond worth 300gp?? :-)
