From page 5:

That proved to be Callie’s undoing. Not only had she made her rolls too early – meaning the inspiration had worn off by the time the party began to encounter tougher enemies – but she had used up all of her spell slots and had nothing left with which to defend herself.

Much to her irritation, Callie was vaporized by a fireball one of the mages hurled at her. Triss and Veronica pressed on, the last two surviving members of the party. They defeated the last of the renegade mage cultists, leaving them to face the final boss – the leader of the cult.

Crystal’s description made it sound like the leader was not as fanatic as her followers. In fact, she almost seemed reasonable. Triss decided to attempt a diplomatic solution and avert further combat. She crit-failed her persuasion roll.

“The cunning sorceress, Cryssandra, laughs in your face,” Crystal narrated. “’I see through your attempts to deceive me, foul demonchild! Now I will see through you!’ she declared…”

Triss failed her saving roll, and thus was utterly defenseless when the sorceress turned her character into glass. Laughing maniacally, the sorceress shattered the helpless Tiefling with a sharp rap from her staff, then turned to face Veronica.

Veronica considered her options. If she could distract the sorceress, she might be able to get off a shot with her enchanted crossbow, and either cripple her or kill her outright. She just needed a suitable diversion to occupy the sorceress’ attention.

“I call upon my demonic pact,” Veronica announced to the DM. “I summon a lesser demon to attack Cryssandra and distract her while I take a shot with my crossbow.”
