The demon lord Juiblex intervenes from the audience, by spitting a bountiful quantity of acid : Moloch passes the save, but still get half the damages, aka 24.

Turn 6

Moloch attempts Breath of Despair. Sibriex passes the save.

12 Wretched suddenly appears behind Moloch, presumably from Juiblex's acid spit

Wretched attack.

[Millstone85]

Wretched suddenly appears behind Moloch, presumably from Juiblex's acid spitI remember them climbing out of a chasm that suddenly cut the arena in two. If that was connected to the spit, I missed it.

In any case, you are right, the sibriex really had home advantage. Even if that was funny in the moment ("Juiblex fist bumps the slime next to him" :smallbiggrin:) the encounter leaves some of us unsatisfied.
