Why won't you die!?

Well finding the big bads was rather easy, they were about 30 feet from the save point...

Fighting the evil powered Kalas on the other hand was a more daunting feat, the one fight lasted over an hour and a half!!

It wasn't so much that he was hard to defeat, it was just that his attacks were so frustrating. He would first attack for about 500HP and freeze the party member, then he would immediately have another turn where he would attack for 600HP more and absorb that health into himself. Also, since the target is still frozen they can't fight back for a couple of rounds, allowing Kalas to do that all over again for his next turn. Luckily I still had my impromptu mage loaded with all the healing items, so my chracters were healing about as fast as Kalas was, so it was only ma matter of eventually taking off more HP than he absorbed each turn, but boy did it take a while!

After the fight the queen that he was working for reveals that the power and unity the arty used to defeat Kalas was just the kind of force needed to fully release the evil god, and it looks rather silly. At the last moment some ancient being poped u to weaken the good enough that it retreated and the arty managed to escape. Now everyone is back together, even Kalas despite not even apologizing for lying to me and erasing my memory!
