Getting some friends back, and taking down an old enemy

Harald teleports everyone back to the Trap, and we rest anxiously, waiting with baited breath for Evelake's revenge. It doesn't come (yet). After rest, Harald scrys on Ailyll and Mamun, who have been taken by the Syrian. He gets some jive False Visions, but sees through them. Both of them are in rooms with metal walls, so Harald gets a fix for a Teleport. He and the rescue team (Walid, Nali, and Akim) all Teleport in after being spelled up by Wirschen. We fight a demon guarding Mamun, a Magic Jarred Ailyll, and some imps polymorphed into giant spiders. After all of these go down out walks the Syrian. We surprise him with his true name, and then settle in for a long fight. A very lucky Harald manages to slow the Syrian's demonic ass (no MR! so nice!), and after some slogging and an arms potion we actually take him out! There is a humorous moment when Nali walks into a Blader Barrier that has been covered with an illusion of a waterfall, and Walid valaiantly explodes his heart saving everyone. We hack the rest of the Syrian's Fortress of Daeron, finding all of our stuff that he took, including the rest of the Alexander body. We also get some potions, and we find an imprisoned Evlish priest. After resting up we take back our wounded friends and set the priest free. We spend some time trying to shrink the fortress, but no deal. We go back to the boat and rest again, happy to have one fewer giant asshole of an enemy. Plus, Mamoun has fulfilled another of his parole conditions for the Fatimid Caliph. Good day!
