Vampires, Demons, and Dwarves .. Oh My!

Tonight the party faced off against a Vampire, Piscodaemon, and ten dwarf civilians subject to the Vampire's Dominate (Su) ability. The combat was rough.

The Piscodaemon failed to summon 1d3 Hydrodaemons, and then was taken out of action for a round by the Cleric's Holy Smite. The Vampire at first failed and then succeeded at using Dominate on the party's Barbarian tank/damage, giving her (and all the dwarf civilians) the instruction to "Kill All The Elves". As the party was in a dwarven city, the only elves present were the party's Cleric, the party's Wizard, and the party's Rogue.

The party used some clever tricks and eventually out-maneuvered the daemon and the vampire. They then used a Sunburst to outright kill the Vampire and grievously injure and blind the Piscodaemon. The Piscodaemon used a Greater Teleport to escape into the night air. The party was victorious ... for now.
