    R5T13: Saiden is the last one out of the room, her front facing it and walking backwards to ensure everyone gets out - which they do. Stepping through the portal, the Aasimir turns about and brings her spare left hand up before her. The appendage glows with an inner light as she presses to herself to relieve the annoying wound. The bleeding has stopped, much of her wounding is gone, and the pain she felt from before (i.e. NL damage) is completely mitigated. She is still hurt ... but only a little now.

    R510: Ved, nobody is bleeding now. What do you do?

    R5T10: Ved weaves the wand back into the leather lacing on his right hip, and checks to see that it is secure. Then drawing another arrow from his quiver and illuminating its tip, he moves carefully further into the hallway. Of course, as soon as that arrow is lit, the one in the room goes out. Luckily, Scathe seems to be comfortable in the dark and Leonidas is by the door so other than a dark room where the creepy vampiric mist is hiding under the floor somewhere, it is just a sudden sensory jolt, is all.

    R5T7: Imogen, what do you do? What do you have Kyr do?

    Surprise Round ...

    S20:
    Just as Ved goes strolling on in, something zips down from the northwest corner. Ved actually just barely noticed it, but didn't have time to react before it charges him and he feels a stabbing pain in his foot for 5. It bit him right on the top of the foot where the lesser return vein feeds from the foot back to the rest of his body. A body that is now starting to feel sluggish.

    S14: Ved was just about to react, but is a little more sluggish than expected, when another one of the things zoom at him. Oddly, his sluggish step is what throws off the bite of the second assailant.

    S12: Ved, you are feeling sluggish. Worse, you know that sometime of poison is doing it. Roll a Fort save vs. poison. Regardless of the save, what does Ved do?

    S12: Ved fights through the pain of the poison, his surprise at the arrival fading with the pain. Instinctively, Ved's free hand swirls in an arcane gesture, and with a bold statement, a wave of color washes over his attackers.

    R1T24: Imogen draws her second dagger again, leaping over the closest snake while it's distracted with Ved. She drives the blade down into it (10 mod) as she lands in a combat stance. In midair, she instructs Kyr strafe the same snake with cursed talons. As Kyr does so, the one attacked snaps at him even as Kyr's talons slam hard against it with a metal clang but don't penetrate. As Kyr continues, the other one snaps at Kyr to hit him in the outer tip of the right wing for 2.
    Spoiler: Kyr >>> Imogen
    Show
    "The tip of my wing tingles. Poison, but it is too far out to really effect me."
    Even though Kyr missed, despite what appeared to be a good attack that was rebuffed by what seem to be metallic scales, there is a strange .... something, almost shadow-like, but not actually affecting lighting .... surrounding Imogen.

    R1T22: Lit by one of those ceiling lanterns, the snakes appear to be some type of hooded snake whose scales glint and shimmer brightly as from the finest polished steel or silver. It was a little off-balance from when it attacked Ved but recovers. It spins around and bites Imogen in her left forearm with an incredibly powerful bite (6). The bite threatens to numb her arm, but she was warned of the poison and Imogen quickly sucks blood at the wound and spits it out. Strangely, even though any simple animal would know when it is surrounded and would likely have moved a little, this is truly a dumb animal that doesn't even respond to being flanked.

    R1T21: "What kind of snake is this?!" Scathe mutters with equal parts admiration and annoyance. He makes a calculated and dangerous decision and moves past Ved, to which the snakes do not respond much to his movement, and gets into position with Imogen. Seeing how the scales gave Kyr's talons trouble, he goes for precision over power with his bastard sword, but then ends up missing wildly.

    R1T20: Glaring suspiciously at the metallic snakes, Saiden stays in position and withdraws her blade, the weapon flashing out with a hiss of silver as it strikes the metallic serpent, bouncing off with a noticeable clanging sound (it was the red that was closest .... 10' from her).

    R1T12: Ved disappears from the point adjacent to the pair of snakes, reappearing immediately behind Saiden. Ved pauses for a moment to consider the snakes, before drawing his bow he fires past Saiden at the Red snake, with his arrow skipping on the stones of the floor to go to the other side of the room. "Variant on a steel cobra!" he calls out. "Mithral, maybe. But it's a construct, which is why it is too stupid to realize it is in danger being flanked."

    R1T7: Kel shakes her head. "Great. Can't stun it. Then hit it hard, people!" she says as she springs into position carefully and winds for a powerful axe kick that misses (red).

    R2T24: Imogen casts a dark pall over one of the cobras as she instructs Kyr to attack again. As the bird swoops in, she exhales and thrusts both her daggers into the other cobra, attempting to slide the blades in between the scales of the snake. Kyr's attack doesn't penetrate the metal hide, and as he veers off blue bites him in his left talon for 4. Painful, but not a great place to insert poison. Imogen, likewise, has no ability to penetrate the hardened scales as the pall once again appears around her.

    R2T22: The red cobra snaps at Imogen while she uses a counter to mute the attack on the cursed construct. It "hits" her, and yet it seem to go right through her with no effect.

    Please don't "go from memory" when updating. You didn't have spilled salt readied. "R" = Readied, "E" = Expended, and "***" means known and not readied (maneuvers), or known and not active (stances). Since you did want a counter, though, I used half-gone instead.

    R3T28: Leonidas will move to right and around Scathe until he has a straight line of sight on the remaining snake. He calls out a spell in a guttural language and there in a barely noticeable drop in the temperature of the room as a glowing ball of ice crystals appears in his hand. He chucks it at the snake. “Suck on this, ya' greasy metal worm!”

    As for the snowball, it whallops the snake it destroys it!

    R1T27: “Fudge!” ... only Leonidas doesn’t say fudge. He grabs the ioun stone to deactivate it and drops the coin back in his belt pouch, instantly darkening the room beyond (but not the hallway, courtesy of Ved's arrow). He whispers something, but considering the loud noise, what he whispered is unknown.

    R1T9: Saidens grits her teeth as the screech claws at her skull. From what she has observed and given the lesson of the room mural, she believed that their detection was causing the ultra-sonic reaction.

    She moves forwardReaching one strong arm out, she grabbed Leonidas by the scruff of his collar and yanked him out of the doorway. He was still somewhat "in line" with the doorway, but no longer right AT the doorway. He is also still lit up by Ved as well.

    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

    R1T8: Kel surprises Ved as she brings her spiked chain down to snap the light arrow, destroying it and extinguishing the light, which in turn douses all light in the hallway and that can be seen from inside the chamber as well.

    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

    R2T27: Leonidas feels his way down the corridor until he turns the corner, but that took more trouble and time than expected to fumble past Saiden, then Kel, to the corner and around the corner for him to have time to take out the light. He hisses something, but nobody hears quite what.

    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE**
    And finally the loud piercing sound is heard no more.

    R2T21: Scathe calls out for everyone to hear, "It's okay. I killed some plant thing that was making the noise. It just took a few extra seconds to finally stop!"

    R2T13: Imogen doesn't move. She raises her voice, just shy of a shout but loud enough to be heard by Scathe, at the very least. "I found a door on the west wall. About thirty feet south or so. Can you see me, Scathe? Anything creeping toward me I should know about?"

    R2T9: As Saiden was able to see in the dark, when she heard Scathe call out the warning she turned and moved towards the new enemy on a path of interception. Her hand on the hilt of her weapon and ready to draw it at a moments notice, she moved west towards the direction indicated by Scathe. Seeing a man in leather with a greataxe looming over Imogen, she closes and brings forth her iron wake against it but the man blocks solidly with his axe, apparently able to see in the dark as well as she. Saiden maintained her close position, using her sword and profiling her body to protect herself.
    Spoiler: Saiden
    Show
    In scarlet einhander stance (which requires the sword to be out when started, and stops when sword is sheathed. I figure she is more wary until the nature of the threat is better understood. She used the named maneuver.

    R2T8: Kel moves in acrobatically past Saiden and Imogen. She calls out, "Drowned dead, or undead, and all that implies. Tough and powerful." She spins her spiked chain and rips a chunk out of its belly (10 mod). "Resisted some of the blow from my spiked chain, too!"

    R2T7: The loud noise stopping and, hopefully, hearing Scathe yell out, Ved stops in the hall and considers his options for a moment. He then illuminates another arrow, keeping the light partially hidden in his clothes. With just enough light to move confidently through the hall Ved moves back to the doorway and peaks around the corner, trying to stay as concealed as possible. He doesn't see anything with his tiny bit of light, but hears the sounds of battle several feet away.

    You have to have some categorical LIGHT though, to move quicky to the doorway (30'), which alone will put a huge hurting on your stealth check. I use a little brighter than a candle ... 5' bright light, 5' dim light (which is 10' for you).

    R2T6-5: Two more spooky dudes with big axes come down the hallway. The frist (red) puts power behind its swing to a dodging Kel. The second attacker (brown) does far better as its massive axe comes down on her right shoulder for 13 mod, bringing a loud cry of pain from Kel.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T27:
    Leonidas, your light coin is in your pouch, and ioun torch is in hand. You see some light escaping from Ved in front of the doorway, though you are still in darkness where you are.

    R3T13-12.9: Imogen scrambles toward the light source with Kyr hot on her trail, abandoning all hope of stealth. She can only hope she doesn't take a hit from one of her unseen foes, and she gets back into the hallway with Ved and Leonidas. Kyr doesn't go past her to get into the corner, but stops in front of her (still in the room), turns around and caws protectively.

    R3T12.5: Scathe comes out of delay and goes right to where Imogen had been. He attempts a power strike against blue but is blocked by its axe.

    R3T12: Blue then comes in with a power strike of its own that Scathe deflects with his sword.

    R3T9: Saiden narrowed her eyes at the - undead? - things that lumbered forward, their grim hoods obscuring whatever ghastly visage the wretched things called faces. Clasped in their hands, however, was something far less subtle, and the weapons were brought about in arcs. One caught Kel upon her shoulder, bringing from her a screech.

    "Get back!" Saiden commanded towards Kel, moving herself in a way as to put herself between the incoming beasts and her retreating team-mates as they fell back to the more defensible position of Leonidas' ioun stone and the valuable light it provided. Saiden fancied her chances against a foe of this calibre. But four of them? Alone, while her compatriots were blinded by the absence of light? She was confident, not stupid.

    "Stand fast!" the knight called over her shoulder towards the group, as she backed up to them, blade in hand parrying blows from her assailants. Her blade fails to parry blue, but her armor is true as its axe swing is deflected. Saiden gets right to a spot bathed in the light of Leonidas' ioun torch. She then calls upon Asmodeus in an unknown tongue, and everyone feels something stirring within, but aren't sure what.

    So, if you want to double the effects of Saiden's encouraging roar if you make any kind of check, let me know. You are the only one that recognized the spell she cast (moment of greatness) and that while it might last a couple of minutes, it is discharged when used. You also know that most of the group probably won't have any idea what Saiden gave them and she didn't say, so it's up to you if you offer some supporting information.

    R3T8: Where she had gone for power, now Kel definitely fights for defense. She smacks blue in the groin with her spiked chain for 13, and then just barely manages to get acrobatically away.

    R3T7: Ved, neither you nor Leonidas are yet providing a good enough area of light for those in the room. Also, read the above spoiler. What do you do?

    R3T7: Ved moves close to the doorway and throws the partially hidden, illuminated arrow into the room.

    You are throwing an object at a target, even if that target is a square that you try to get it to accurately. That said, from your angle you don't see any enemies, anyway, to have shot at.

    R3T6-5: Red moves forward into the space that Kel had just vacated. He crits scathe with a heavy blo to the chest for 19. Brown then moves past its drowned dead allies and in doing so, Scathe tries to attack it but misses. Brown continues around to flanking and its axe takes a bite out of Scathe's right shoulder for 9, this time with a loud cry of suppressed pain from Scathe.

    End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

    R4T27:
    Leonidas, ioun torch is in hand, light coin is in pouch, though where you are is dimly light as the only light source is the lit arrow in the room now. You heard Scathe cry out in pain, and you only see a line of allies against the eastern part of the chamber beyond. What do you do?

    R4T27: Leonidas is effectively blocked in so he grunts, “Here ya great black turkey!” and tosses a glowing coin into Kyr’s square, but it hits the square and bounces and rolls to the eastern corner before the wall stops the roll and it falls over.

    R4T17: Saiden then sees green move up and past the others - Scathe having already tried to get an AOO previously - and attack, with Scathe just barely ducking and using his bastard sword to guide away the blade.

    R4T13/12.9: Imogen, what do you do? What do you ask Kyr to do? You actually saw the one that just moved and attacked (green), and see a faint bit of another (red), as well as Scathe. Also, Saiden's shout charged you with some vigor.

    R4T13/12.9: Imogen gesture to Kyr and herself and says to Ved, "Healing?" but otherwise delays.

    R4T12.5: Scathe fails to fake out blue with blade control and then sends a defensive attack at it and with Saiden's encouragement does 9. Still not enough to bring it down, and Scathe sidesteps to the south.

    R4T12: Blue steps right after him but Scathe's defensive stance keeps him protected.

    R4T9: Saiden, your encouragement has ended (and nobody had a clue that you cast moment of greatness or even what it gave them [save Ved, but you don't know that]), though MoG has three minutes total. What do you do?

    R4T9: Blade in hand, Saiden strdes forward against the closest foe to support her team-mate, her weapon coming about in a glittering arc that slashes the monster across the belly for 15.

    R4T8: Kel steps a few feet south, sends three shuriken speeding out that hit brown with power for 3 mod, no damage (but seemingly having penetrated its skin), and 2 mod. She harrumphs and calls out, "They're resistant to piercing!"

    R4T7: "Well, then I guess my bow is likely not going to be terribly effective," Ved replies to Kel while moving toward Imogen. Placing his hands on her Ved will intone a prayer (5 healing), then move into the room. Meanwhile, there is a large, overall purple stalk that was severed by something sharp, and a semi-squashed cap on the ground that caved in where it fell. This mushroom would have been nearly as large as a man before its destruction. Ved realizes from seeing it and the noise before that this must have been a "shrieker," a type of purple fungus that emits a high-pitched alarum when disturbed by light or nearby movement.

    R4T6-5: Red moves in to try to get to Scathe, as it passes by blue, hacks it in the chest for 13. Then Saiden also attacks it but it ducks out of the way of her blow, but its complex movement in trying to do that has it fumble its swing at Scathe. Brown notices the problem Red is in, but seeing his position, steps five feet to flank Scathe and brings its axe down but Scathe does something like a volte but as a defense .... which for a bastard sword and shield is much more impressive seeing it done ... rather than with small sword, which is more common.

    End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...
