    R7T14: With a long climb ahead of him, Vivino breathes out, and lets post-rage fatigue take him, his teeth and nails retracting for now. At least his mutation kicked in when it needed to. He gets outside and picks up his scythe.

    R7T13: Roshgog hovers in position and sends a fireball towards the snake to incinerate it and put it out of its misery. "Linzi, stay with me and keep pressure on the caster now that his meat shields are done. Vivino is whammied. I don't know what to tell you, other than I think he's heading backup."

    End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

    R8T26:
    The casters steps out from the corner, but doesn't see Linzi hiding despite hearing her oration. Instead, he casts a spell to send a lightning bolt at Roshgog. The half-orc was distracted from his destruction of the snake, and is totally lit up by the lightning arc, taking 23 electricity, which burns up the scroll he had his belt. "Heal scroll's gone!" laments Roshgog.

    R8T21: Linzi continues her oration and takes a single focused shot that reveals her position even as her bolt is deflected. She calls out while hoofing it north, "Retreat to cover Vivino with me!"

    R8T14: Vivino does hear Roshgog's lament. Though focused on victory above, he now knows that Roshgog no longer has another powerful healing scroll for him. Victory will definitely come at a price. He takes an extract for 13 healing and hops onto the first plank bridge heading up.

    R8T13: Roshgog repositions and glares at the caster ineffectually.

    End Round 8, Begin Round 9 ...

    R9T26:
    The caster ignores him, snarls, and charges Linzi, slashing her upper left arm with his kukri for 11.

    R9T21: Linzi stops her oration now. She simply withdraws, moving outside and jumping onto the bridge.

    R9T14: Vivino continues his upwards ascent, hustling upwards.

    R9T13: Roshgog can be heard roaring out what seems like a challenge or something from below, followed by him casting and what sounds like the whoosh of another fireball.

    End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

    R10T26:
    The caster's voice is heard casting.

    R10T21: Linzi takes out a wand and taps herself, turning invisible.

    R10T14: Vivino takes his other extract for 6 healing and stops on the next landing to catch his breath.

    R10T13: ...

    End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

    R11T26:
    Distant voice of the caster echoing in the temple below.

    R11T21: A short flash of positive energy on the lowest plank bridge below, but no visible person attached to that, nor any words of casting.

    R11T14: Vivino takes an extract of CMW for 13 healing, and now he only has the faintest scratch remaining as he begins cautiously across the next plank bridge.

    R11T13: Down at the very bottom on the far western wall by the water is another short burst of positive energy. Given position, that must be Roshgog using a healing wand while flying, and the other must be Linzi. You don't see either only because of the limit of your darkvision, simply guessing the position of the far western wall and first rope bridge because of the brightness of the positive energy discharges.

    End Round 11, Begin Round 12 ...

    R12T26:
    The caster's voice is heard - more clearly this time and without the echo of the underground cathedral. A bolt of lightning flares up below Vivino, a bit south of him, and going from roughly east to west.

    R12T21: A flash of positive energy right next to where the lightning bolt began.

    R12T14: Vivino wishes those below well, as he closes on victory. He was fooled by the invisible guardians before. He won't fall for their trick a second time if any are back at their posts as he takes an extract of see invisibility and continues to the next landing. And there, just at the top of the next and final bridge, he sees one ... maybe two of those guardians as before, waiting right at the edge and terminus of that bridge.

    R12T13: More healing burst below in the darkness.

    End Round 12, Begin Round 13 ...

    R13T26: Another tear of a lightning bolt down below.

    R13T21: Another flash of positive energy below.

    R13T14: "You'll find that exiting the labyrinth the way you came will bring victory." But without any special movement, you are going to have to go through these garden guardians again. At least this time, you can see them. Vivino, you are currently fatigued (and unable to rage). Shield and see invisibility are active and your continual light coin is exposed, bathing the area in a red glow. You suffered from weakness from the snake's poison that is still with you, and your mutagen is in effect. (And, of course, so is the suggestion.) What do you do?

    R13T14: Not wanting to get into another combat in his current state, Vivino changes into a dire rat. He changes form from a buff, broad human into a rodent of unusual size. In doing so, his light coin melds into his form, extinguishing the light, and his armor does the same, no longer offering protection. The smells of the fungus of the garden become far more piquant to Vivino's new rat nose. He then proceeds to sneak around the guardians by climbing up the cliff face. He finds in doing so that it is more difficult than expected ... attempting to sneak in the darkness while his polymorphed form is still weakened, making the rock face harder to climb than expected. Still, he manages to crawl 5' carefully upwards.

    R13T13: A flash far below of positive energy.

    End Round 13, Begin Round 14 ...

    R14T26-26:
    Vivino-rat suddenly finds himself engulfed in a cloud of poison. Even in rat form he has superb control of his body so as not to take corrosive damage to his lungs, but he will have to attempt poison transmutation using his internal alchemy.

    R14T14: Vivino, what do you do?

    R17T14.2-.0: Lil' Vivi rallies and pushes right to the top of the cloud of poison, which just happens to be at the ledge. The small rat goes to move into that area, but accidentally bumps into something not stone. As soon as he blindly bumps into ... a moldy boot? ... something strikes into his hyper-thickened natural armor without cutting through, but the next cuts through, and he moves his organs just in time to keep from suffering a crit, though he still suffers 7 mod. Vivino-rat maintains his position on the ledge, finishing his movement under the feet of whatever just attacked him ... he thinks.

    R17T13: You no longer see faint flash below.

    R18T26:
    Footsteps on wooden planks below moving away, including a lot of hearty coughing as whatever crossed from one set of planks to another must have gone through the poison cloud and is now suffering from it.

    R18T14.2-.1: The area is suddenly flooded with what must be another poison cloud! Something stomping by Vivino, and then something getting deflected by his shield.

    R19T14: Vivino lets out a howl of rage. "I just want to get out of here!" he yells at these new threats. He arranges his stance to proper form and then attacks with a vicious claw that glows blue, but misses wildly.

    End Round 19, Begin Round 20 ...

    R20T14.2-.1:
    The two garden guardians attack. The one to the east catches Vivino with a soft crit to the back of his left calf for 8 mod that he couldn't shift, and nearly hit him again with the follow-up.

    R20T14: Vivino, you are mutated and raging with elemental stance. You have shield and see invisibility extracts active. But, you are also weakened from previous poison exposure and are in a poison cloud even now. Your suggestion tells you victory is to be found the way you came, so you can do a "moving combat" but you can't just stand and fight. What do you do?

    R20T14: Vivino eyes them and steps aside before dropping his scythe and attacking viciously, but none of his attacks get past the guardian's armor.

    End Round 20, Begin Round 21 ...

    R21T26:
    The tiger man is on this level, moving quickly around from the south and east. He comes really close, but doesn't enter the poison cloud. Though he stands patiently with two kukri in his hand.

    R21T16-14.1: Vivino's sixth sense protects him as he dodges out of the way - another guardian appearing after having charged and swung at him with his scimitar (Brown). Red steps down to flank and slash Vivino's left shoulder for 5 mod. When Red attempts the reattack, Vivino slams Red's scimitar to the side to score a light crit against Green for 12. Finally, Green throws himself at Vivino as the latter's claw slams against armor, failing to throw Vivino off the ledge.

    R21T14: Vivino moves to the opening and strikes at Green again. His first claw strikes the armor, allowing his second claw to find purchase for 8 + 5 cold, and then a bite on the guardian's left bicep for 9 + 4 cold. Vivino's bite discovers horrifically-tasting flesh; he doesn't take poison damage, but it is toxic and that's another thing he has to fight off.

    End Round 21, Begin Round 22 ...

    R22T16-14.1:
    Brown interposes himself against Vivino, flanking with Green. Vivino deflects the first attack, but the second catches him in the left knee, and Vivino moves his tendons in time enough to only take 5 mod. Red misses his first attack, and Vivino moves his lower brachial artery in his left forearm to only take 4 mod. Green swings upwards to Vivino's groin and he barely moves aside his bits and bobs to take 3 mod to his inguinal tendon, and then he blocks Green's follow-on attack.

    R22T14: Vivino, roll two Fort saves - first against the poison cloud, second against having ingested poison blood. What do you do?

    R22T14: Vivino uses a brief, controlled peristalsis to spit out the poison before it affects him while masterfully using poison transmutation in his body to keep from being affected by the ever-present poison in the air. He wants to move to the northwest, but the northern wall keeps him from doing so. He starts his mauling action on Green, slashing across the belly for 10 + 1 cold. The second claw misses, but he bites Green in the left upper arm for 8 + 6 cold. The bitter tang hits him, and he knows he will be fighting off ingested poison again.

    End Round 22, Begin Round 23 ...

    R23T16-14.2:
    All three guardians begins their attack on Vivino. Red positions south of Vivino and strikes Vivino in the head, who in turn pulls more calcium to his skull to protect the impact strike to only take 5 mod, but he fails to protect against Red's second strike - a soft crit to his chest for 8 mod.

    R23T14: Vivino barely resists the poison from the bite he had made. After several hits, Vivino looks to just get out of here and moves toward the stairs, but he is not as agile as he had hoped. Brown strikes him in the upper left arm, with Vivino managing to adjust his body to only take 7 mod. Green doesn't hit him. Red opens himself up as Vivino moves and slashes the guardian in the chest for 13 + 1 cold, but the reality of the guardian's tactic is revealed when Vivino gets knocked off his feet.

    Vivino knows that staying on the deck is death, so tries to stand, getting ready to weather the blows. He is struck in the hip by Brown for 4 mod; in the left shoulder by Green for 8 mod; and in the lower back by Brown for 6 mod. But at least now he's back on his feet.

    End Round 23, Begin Round 24 ...

    R24T16-14.1: Brown slashes Vivino in the chest for 6 mod. Red sidesteps to block access to the west, and then slashes Vivino in the head for 8 mod. Green fails to land a blow.

    R24T14: Knowing that his time is limited and not being allowed through, Vivino lines up to shove Red out of the way (after self-healing 5), but not before the inevitable counter as such a maneuver is tantamount to throwing himself on his enemy's weapons. Brown and Green only catch armor, but Red's strike catches Vivino in a way he can't shift his organs to defend against, taking a soft-crit of 8 mod. Still, the insanely powerful man tosses the guardian off of the cliff, and seconds later a splash is heard far below. Vivino immediately begins moving, but gets struck by Brown for 8 mod as he gets past his aggressors. Unfortunately, because he moved into the space of Red during the attack, he has no more in him to continue moving west.

    End Round 24, Begin Round 25 ...

    R25T16-14.1: This time, it is Brown's turn to throw itself at Vivino, whose claw scratches powerfully against the rager's armor. Brown fails to throw Vivino off the ledge before adjusting west of Vivino. Green moves to flank and strikes Vivino's back for 7 mod, and then the back of his thigh for 7 mod.

    R25T14: Vivino, here you are ... flanked again. Mutagen/ rage in effect (elemental stance). Still just inside the poison cloud, so another Fort save is required. What do you do?

    R27T14: Seemingly cornered, Vivino drinks an extract for 12 healing and pushes against the stone blocking the stairs. It doesn't even begin to budge. He remembers the massive stone statue in the garden and it surely is far heavier than he can even remotely budge, especially now that he's weakened. Now that he's as close to the top as possible, he isn't sure that he found victory. It just might be that the tiger-headed man lied to him! The compulsion nagging at him to go higher and higher - while one he is free to explore on his own as he desires - is no longer present.

    What does he do?

    End Round 27, Begin Round 28 ...

    R28T26:
    Vivino hears the sound of a man casting a spell, the echoes make it hard to tell how far it is.

    Creeping up the stairs with a kukri in his hand is the tiger-headed man. It seems he thinks that you can't see him, but when he casts a spell, unfortunately Vivino has no weapon to react even though he can see his invisible form.

    R29T14: "Why are you chasing me?" Vivino asks. "I will leave you alone if you leave me alone. I do owe you one for that lightning but past that is up to you."

    Vivino unlimbers his axe and delivers a blow that gets past a strong deflection field, an outer layer of force, and barely penetrates a second layer of force before the lower tip of the axe brushes against its chest.

    End Round 29, Begin Round 30 ...

    R30T26:
    The tiger-headed man laughs. "No, for by seeing me, you know my family's secret ... we Arkona are rakshasa. Besides, the tiger does not submit to the water buffalo. The buffalo has mighty horns," and here he gestures to the axe, "but the buffalo is still prey."

    Now it is his turn and he attacks. Vivino blocks the first kukri swing, but the second almost gets through his armor. He likewise fends the rakashasa's claw and bite.

    R30T14: "That is so funny," Vivino says, "for I would not have put those pieces of information together about your family if you had not just told me."

    Then hoping to catch him off guard, he swings the axe twice with both hands, but the rakshasa easily deflects the first and then just moves a little to be completely missed by the second attack.

    End Round 30, Begin Round 31 ...

    R31T26:
    "I didn't give anything away foolishly, you are just a mere mortal who has never heard of the greatness of the rakshasa. Surely, someone you would recount this story to would know more than you ... and we can't have that, now can we?" and that last question is asked with a truly malicious leer that comes to close to Vivino's face. Of course, that wasn't the danger, as the rakshasa's curved kukri takes advantage of Vivino's focus on the face and pulls out Vivino's feet so that he is now prone.

    R3T14: Vivino, you are now prone on the stairs and backed into a "vertical corner" if you will. What do you do?

    R31T14: Vivino recoils from the breath, and attempts to drink an extract that might give a glimmer of hope, but not before the rakshasa slices his inguinal tendon with a soft crit that does 8 mod. Vivino takes the extract, and feels the strange, faint lurching sensation common to a displacement effect.

    "Actually it's my sister who you should worry about," Vivino says as he taps his head as he stands.

    R32T14: "Vivino Dorso at your service," Vivino says with a slight flourish. As part of that maneuver, Vivino tries to hide taking out and drinking a potion. The ruse fails (mainly because he has to reach into and fish around in his handy haversack), and Avidexu looks like he's going to knock the vial out of his hand, but the displacement protects him. The warming fluid goes down the alchemist's throat to provide him with 12 healing. The rakshasa even gives a nod of admiration for effect, only now realizing what Vivino took the round before.

    R33T14: Vivino, pleased that the gambit work, goes to swing viciously at the tiger person twice, and matching Avidexu's success.

    R33T13.1: A loud, gurgling cry of pain is heard relatively close down below, definitely from a male. A little more distant sounds a high-pitched female scream of horror.

    R33T13: Roshgog's voice, which sounds like it is near the entrance to the stairwell calls out and is strained by severe pain, "Vivino, I hear your fight. I am slain by the last blow. Feronia watch over you, as I hope she watches over me."

    R33T12: Linzi's voice is heard somewhere outside with echoes, telling stories of heroism. By the time it reaches Vivino's ears, however, there is too much echo and distortion to do him any good.

    End Round 33, Begin Round 34 ...

    R34T26:
    Again, Avidexu fails to land a blow, but he steps down a few feet away from Vivino. "Your friends will taste my blade, Vivino Dorso."

    R35T14: Vivino cautiously moves down the stairs. At the bottom few stairs, he is blocked from getting to a downed Roshgog (status unknown) by a wall of the rakshasa and garden guardians. Behind them and next to Roshgog - invisible and yet giving - is Linzi. Avidexu sees Vivino comes down, and with Linzi's oration and the spell of good hope that is still there, Vivino shreds past Avidexu's hide and does .... nothing. Vivino pegged him hard, boosted by a spell of hope and Linzi's oration, and his own brawn ... and still didn't leave a scratch.

    R35T13.1: Interestingly, Green is holding the hilt of a destroyed scimitar and drops it. Covered from Vivino by the stairwell, it moves west out of sight.

    R35T12: Continuing her oration, Linzi gives enough of a breather to speak. "He's gone, Vi. Butchered by the tiger-man, a raksasa - a powerful native outsider."

    Now that Linzi has Vivino's wan red light from his coin (she was in pitch black before, feeling around), she backs up several feet and shoots Brown in the back for 17. She loses her invisibility, and speed loads her crossbow.

    End Round 35, Begin Round 36 ...

    R36T26:
    Avidexu steps north and takes a breather, removing his exhaustion, but seemingly fatigued. "Kill her!"

    R36T16-14.2: Brown charges Linzi and slashes her belly for 9.

    R36T14: Vivino, what do you?

    Green on deck, Linzi in the hole ...

    R36T14: "These people are heartless," Vivino begins. "Let's see what we can do about removing what they consider a heart."

    Vivino moves out of the stairwell and as he goes Avidexu is to the north and misses a displaced as Vivino ignores the attack and rolls up on Brown and gets its attention with a two-handed swing.

    R36T13.1: Green "runs" in his very slow form of flight to cross the chasm southwards.

    R36T12: Linzi continues her oration. She steps back, takes out a wand and uses it on herself to disappear from view. "Oh, Vivino, I am glad to see you are still alive."

    End Round 36, Begin Round 37 ...

    R37T26:
    Avidexu closes on Vivino. While the big man is partly focused on Brown, Avidexu steals the light coin lanyard from Vivino. He closes his weird, backwards-facing palm of a left hand around the coin to snuff out the light. Linzi's voice shudders in terror, having only been giving just a few seconds of light.

    R37T16: Two attacks come from where Brown was last seen, the second pinging Vivino in the head for 6 mod.

    R37T14: Vivino, you are in darkness now. The enemy's evil cunning likely put the nail in the coffin by taking his light. What do you do?

    R37T14: "Good to see you too, Linzi," Vivino says. "See if you can get this lit."

    He pulls out a torch, and in doing so he gets hit in the neck by a scimitar for 6 mod. With the torch in his hand he tries to toss it to where his proprioperception makes him think where Linzi last was. But his hands fumble. The torch is heard dropping on the stone ground and bouncing until the bouncing suddenly stops, followed by an impact sound farther away, followed several seconds later by a distant "sploosh."

    R37T12: A faint gasp, but Linzi bravely continues her oration for Vivino for all the good that does, and it sounds like she is carefully moving away as well.

    End Round 37, Begin Round 38 ...

    R38T14: "One last try," Vivino says as he carefully draws and as he reaches to get another torch, Avidexu trips him, and then gets hit in the chest with a scimitar for 7 mod. Vivino finally gets that torch though, and defensively from the ground throws it blindly without having taken time to really listen for where she is. Of course, in doing so he is attacked, but his defensive spell and armor holds steady.

    R38T12: Linzi continues her oration. A flash of positive energy.

    R39T26-14.2:
    Vivino gets nicked in the neck for 3 mod. That displacement doing more than its lack of weight in gold ...

    R39T14: ... unfortunately, that displacement now dissipates, but at least it helped. Though that's gone, the good news is Vivino gets his breath back and is no longer fatigued, but he is prone. Vivino, what do you do?

    R39T14: "Light the torch," Vivino says, finishing with a growl. "These cowards are afraid of fighting in the light."

    He begins to get up and he is struck by a smaller blade in his left knee for 7 mod, though with his rage he barely feels the sting. Two other blades clang against his armor. Vivino gets on his feet and now armed with claws and a muzzle - dropping the battleaxe - he begins to go to work, missing his target.
