Chapter XXI: Showdown with Channer

The party was engaged in battle with Channer and Brackesh. Brackesh used a strange horn to summon an army comprised of the five goblin tribes, which he had united. Enna left with the remaining archers to hold them off. Meanwhile, Ford betrayed the party by dismissing the Private Sanctum, allowing Channer to continue the ritual to open a portal to another plane.

A particularly effective Chromatic Orb spell from Metamorpheus knocked Channer unconscious and allowed Astorio to bind him with the Warden's manacles. However, he regained consciousness and crawls through the portal. Astorio pursued him by running into the expanding portal.

A werewolfed Kristandra attacked Brackish, but was knocked unconscious, reverting to her half orc form. Ormul transformed into a brown bear to bring Kristandra her weapons and a shield, but reverted to elf form after being attacked by Brakesh.

A glabrezu emerged from the portal and engaged with the party. Ormul's threw a potion of slipperiness, which managed to impede the glabreu and Brackesh long enough for Astorio to re-emerge and subdue the glabrezu. However, Brackish managed to knock Ormul unconscious and cut off Kristandra's right leg.

Channer re-emerged from the portal, free of his manacles, but was once again knocked unconscious again Kristandra's Spiritual Weapon. The glabrezu died, closing the portal. Doniphon removed Channer's hands using the closing portal, and gaged him using Ormul's underwear before tying him up to return to The Warden.
