The room is plunged into darkness, and the sounds of shuffling, rummaging, and whispered prayer fill the space that the light used to occupy.

But then, light gutters from near the captured villagers. Llewellyn raises his torch high. It takes a moment as our heroes' eyes adjust to the illumination and can take stock of their new situation.Both of the cult acolytes find themselves surrounded by the Hillshire Wayfinders and are confused by the change in light sources. They swing, Red 5 attempting to stab Nikkghak, and Red 6 swiping at Hobb, but both miss.Moloch moves around the stakes and rushes towards Llewellyn to keep him from releasing Ramlaat's prizes. He growls; it is unearthly and demonic. He swings his twisted black blade in a wide arc. The blade connects with Llewellyn's shoulder, and Moloch pulls it back quickly. It slices along the surface, and blood quickly begins to bead along the line left by the extremely sharp blade.

The cultists fall as they are attacked by multiple Wayfarers. Slashed, burned, bashed, and stabbed.

Llewellyn successfully hits the foul leader of the Crimson Hand. He can tell that this servant of the dark god Ramlaat is weakening. He then watches as Moloch eyes roll back into his head, blinded by Lillit's spell.Moloch screams in pain and swings wildly, hoping that despite his current ailment, he will be able to find purchase. His blindness gets the better of him, and his longsword strikes stone instead. He breathes heavily.

"Perhaps a helping hand." Orm mutters as he sees the others charge toward Moloch, and let's another magic missile loose.

The dark apostle, Moloch, battered from multiple directions, releases one final cry into the death-filled halls. "Nooooooo!" He crumples to the ground; the blood around the edges of the room bubbles and roils, and the floor shakes. From the next room, an ear-piercing wind blows through towards the cave opening.
