R1T29: "That wave - it is from a powerful magical trap, not an ooze - weakened me tremendously, I can try to move Myki out of here.", Iluvar says. He then focuses his mind to overcome his weakness. He cannot pick her up, not even drag her, and that brief insight leaves his mind as quickly as it came.

R1T21: "Everyone out!" commands the Scribe. "Drop a weapon if you have to, but one of you brothers take Myki. I am staying behind to attempt to disarm this thing."

He then moves up to the blob, drops his ranseur, and takes out some tools.

R1T17: Akif, you have spear and shield readied. What do you do?

R1T17: Akif nods and straps his spear to his side before stepping by his brother and scooping up the unconscious Myki, "Do we go back or press on?" he asks nodding a head at the door where they entered on the exit from the room.

R1T13: Sisir nods to his brother and says, "Let us head back up at least a little ways and we can reassess the situation when the Scribe is finished with this trap."

Presumably he does just that.

R2T29: Iluvar moves out of range of the effect the rune had, though he does get stopped by Sisir's bulk, and the passageway is such he can't move past him. It is also dark now in the passage.

R2T21: "Get her out of here," says the Scribe, getting to work on attempting to disarm the thing.

R1T26: "They are hostile!" Iluvar shouts. "Hounds of Tindalos. Monsters from beyond the veil that see farther in darkness than any mortal creature. Do not touch their minds if you have the means, for their alien thoughts will surely drive you mad."

Iluvar readies a series of punches, kicks and other unarmed blows. His first punch lands heavily for 21, a kick swing around to the back flank to just catch for 24, and he knees it in its tentacled maw for 20.

R1T25: Magic fumbles as Red tries to conjure something mentally but carefully and it fails.

R1T24: Myki steps up by The Scribe to create a block and gives Red a fell look and she draws her rapier and attacks in a fluid action for 40 + blind.

R1T15: Sisir hustles to cross Iluvar, even as Blue lashes out with its creepy face to bite against his armor. Sisir then focuses his gaze on that hound.

R1T13: The Scribe picks up Xin-Rithux from where he set it against the orrery while he was operating it, and gets into a complex fighting stance before lashing out with a twisting attack for 35 + prone.

R1T10: Blue disappears from view, which in turn breaks Sisir's stare.

R1T7: Tunuak moves away from the blind hound and to the south, but looks across the way at Iluvar, nodding at him to let the monk know something is coming his way. Tunuak casts a spell that hits Iluvar, and fills him with a powerful zeal (and 4 THP).

Spoiler: Contagious Zeal

Show

The target gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls, 1d6 temporary hit points, and a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects and to the DC of Intimidate checks attempted against her.

Once per round, the target can select one other creature to gain this bonus as well. The chosen creature can be no farther from the target than 45', and a creature can’t be selected more than once in this way. Such allies gain only the bonuses and temporary hit points; they don’t continue to spread it to other creatures. The additional creatures’ bonuses and temporary hit points share the original spell’s duration, so when that duration ends, all affected creatures lose their bonuses and any remaining temporary hit points from this spell.

R1T4: Akif, you have your shield readied w/ a light spell, and nothing else in hand. What do you do?
