The mindflayer flees in pain, leaving the witch to claim her prize: a massive gem embedded in the skull crusted throne. It appears there is something strange about this gem.
The mindflayer hurls a swarm of psionically charged skulls at the witch, but she counterattacks with some magic desiccating powder. The mindflayer’s skin cracks and crumbles.
The witch handily chops up the pestering vargouilles. Using psionic power, the mindflayer unleashes a powerful stone cyclops to attack the witch from ambush.
