As the group prepared to move in, the raven and zombies detected them and were able to move ahead of the group. The zombies moved towards a new source of brains and blocked the group from moving down the hall easily. The raven appeared to cast a spell of some type. As preparation for the battle, Darsus summoned a spiritual ally to attack the raven. Sheliak cast a spell brought down earth and rocks on the zombies, damaging them. The earth and rocks filled the hall and made it difficult terrain for the party. Darsus was able to use his travel domain to move forward with others in the party while Seoni knocked the raven prone with a magical wind. Danicia moved into a flank with the spiritual ally around the raven. Sandru and Cendrine attacked the zombies. As Ulf and Sheliak prepared to move up, the raven summoned air elementals that they had to contend with before they could move forward.

As Sandru and Cendrine killed zombies, they were spattered with rot and gore that made them feel slightly ill, but not enough to affect their fighting at that time. Seoni was a fiery column that also damaged the zombies while Darsus, Danicia and the spiritual ally attacked the raven. The raven flew up, moving through attacks and escaped from its attackers. After moving out, a large, green humanoid appeared just as a blast of acid burst out among the party. He had no care for the zombies and as they died they explored in a burst of rotted flesh, and other gore on Seoni, Cendrine and Sandru. They all felt slightly queasy but there was no impact on their fighting ability. Sheliak Ulf and Ulric attacked the air elementals with the aid of a wolf from Sheliak's bag of tricks. With the zombies cleared out of the way, Cendrine moved up and Sandru used Suishen to cast Air Walk on himself. This allowed him to move closer to the caster and not be slowed by the debris still in the hall. The air elementals focused on the wolves while Ulf and Sheliak continued their attack.

The raven flew up towards the humanoid caster while the caster created a pit beneath Sandru and Cendrine. Cendrine fell down while Sandru floated up above the pit. Danicia attempted to jump over the pit but the debris and the sloping edge of the pit caused her to fall down and join Cendrine. The spiritual ally moved to attack the caster while Sandru moved into position. Seoni kept watch on a door into the hallway in case of an additional attack from the unknown room. Darsus called upon his god to heal those around him and channeled energy. Ulf, Sheliak, Ulric and the other wolf finished off the air elementals and started to move towards the last bit of fighting.

Danicia cast fly on herself and flew herself and Cendrine out of the pit. Sandru moved to the raven and tried to grapple it while the raven summoned another air elemental to attack him. The spiritual ally attacked the caster who had grown to a large size. Cendrine dodged an attack after being dragged up and landed mighty hits upon the caster. Darsus cast fly on Ulf and Sheliak crossed over the pit while riding Ulric. Darsus cast a prayer to aid his side and Ulf attacked the raven while the air elemental attacked the nearest target. Sheliak fired into the caster who had slumped to the ground and his fiery arrows ensured that the troll would not heal and rise again. He then fired a final shot into the raven who stopped struggling as he went unconscious. The battle ended and the pit and debris disappeared from the room. Seoni and Darsus healed the group of their wounds. Seoni recovered a magical robe from the caster. The robe was an item that she had prayed to the gods that she would somehow find so that she could boost her magical power. Danicia was also interested in the robe due to it's boosting properties but the gods smiled on Seoni and she won the robe. There were additional items found. The session ended here.
