Some chaos breaks out inside the narrow chamber as Grimgor whirls skwering one of the cultists that attacks him before starting to babble incoherently, Kona rushes to assist him slashing a cultist near enough in half as he does so, and he blesses Grimgor with sanity once more! By the Governer the Captain hears Tygar's distant words and is shaken free from the hold the governer had placed over her mind!

Kona's reroll means Grimgor avoids the confusion and can take a turn. His AoO killed a cultist

Grimgor Ghoulsbane, Dwarven Warder

Based on the 'resave' I'll repost my round two ...

Grimgor ignores the two cultists rushing him, brushing them aside easily as he waited for the creature to attack. When it did surge forward, several mouths appeared and began to shriek as they reached towards the dwarf hungrily while the beast bore down up on him. But even as the mouths attempt to find purchase on the savvy dwarf, he avoided all the bites. However, the shrill screaming was nearly overwhelming, and Grimgor found himself shouting back, anything to drown out the sound. "Ah'll be eatin' pies t'night, huzzah! Huzzah! Oi, Ah'll be eatin' pies t'night, huzzah, huzzah! Ah'll be eatin' pies t'night, and drinkin' ale til' mornin' light, oi Ah'll be eatin pies t'night, huzzah, huzzah!"

His trick might have worked, but just as his sanity was about to break, he felt the reassuring presence of a companion, and pushed through the spell. With a growl, he lashed out at the beast

In the cramped confines of the chamber the screams of violence and the clangs of weapons is deafening mixed with the soft susurrations of the gibbering mouther. Those sounds fade rapidly as with another grunt and dwarven war shout Grimgor drives the spear clear through the mouther and with a hiss of air like a waterskin deflating the mass of mouths and skin as its slides off the pike! Behind that atop the "stage" with a great flourish, Lara runs the governer through and leaves him shaken and scared for his pathetic life.

Amidst the cultists Tygar continues to chant, Kona likewise helping his dwarven friend as he runs a cultist through their magic's saving Lara and Grimgor from the ill effects of the the enemies. The cultists throw themselves upon Kona and Grimgor with wild abandon, one dying atop the warpike as the remaining two stab at the heroes.

Tygar calls down magic causing the mists to unravel. As they do so Lara leaps in rapier extended in a graceful lunge that takes the governor in the throat. Blood sprays as he topples backwards gurgling to a messy end.

In the entrance Kona is a whirlwind of destruction as the katana carved another cultist up before the savage thrust of the wakizashi skewers the last one. With that the battle ends suddenly, dead bodies strewn everywhere and the metallic tang of blood in the air. No one save the heroes of the Blue Nizxie remain standing and, somewhat frustratingly, Indo your hated noble passenger does seem to still be alive.

Tygar's eyes widen as the fog unravels. The Captain landing her coup de grace on the evil man and the rest finishing the leftovers causes him to sheathe his bow.

"I expected the spell to fail when the result is not instant but it worked out in the end."

He clasps his hands, muttering a prayer to whoever is watching over and tweaking fate to their favor. His first reaction is to rush to Avner to inspect and heal him.

Lara checks the governor for surprises, wary of the tentacle she'd seen earlier. Then she wipes her blade clean and turns to survey the aftermath.

Hopefully when he regains his senses he'll show a little gratitude, but I wouldn't count on it. We still haven't found the chief priest, which worries me.

Tygar bends down beside the young noble healing the worst of his wound although he remains unconscious still, or asleep hiding from the nightmares (its hard to tell). As the other gather about stacking the bodies or at least moving them to the side its the dwarf who's dwarven senses tingle who stumbles upon the catch under the temple altar and realises that a section of the back wall may open up if he depresses it. As Lara checks the govener she can be reassured that he is most assuredly dead! Along with everyone esle in the room.

[Yas392]

After knitting the noble's wounds, Tygar searches for a makeshift chair. When he found it, he drags the unresponsive Avner and sits him on it.

"I healed the worst of the injuries and stabilized him. I will deal with his maladies once I recover my full might. I concur with turning the mansion upside down for the temple, at least the interior. Let's hope we do not run into guards we have to knock out and lie through our teeth in our merriment. We should do it now. I do not want to let my abjuration circle go to waste before its expiration."

The cleric arms himself with his bow.

"So who is leading?"

Grimgor Ghoulsbane, Dwarven Warder

Grimgor rolled his eyes at the fact that the nobleman had survived. Given how drugged he was, the dwarf wasn't sure this would turn out in their favor. He muttered aloud to no one in particular, "Bettin' th'bastich blames us ... we should leave' 'im behind, but if'n e becomes gov'ner, we'll all be in trouble ..."

Moving to search the room, he caught sight of an oddity - a difference in stone that most might ignore, but a dwarf could not. Stepping closer, he grunted back to the group. "Oi, one o' you wizard or priest types check fer magic ... Ah think there's somethin' this way." Once his companions determine there's no magical traps, he'll try to push the section open.

A pause at the door and Grimgor can hear faint sounds of chanting and magics on the other side of the door. As he pries the door open he can view the door beyond, a swirling miasma of dark and alien magic. Walls of glistening black stone that seems to have partially melted and formed strange stalactites and stalagmites in the 20 by 20ft chamber where the alien magics have taken over.

The mad cleric seems to have been infected by the aberrant magic, or had masked it previously. A mass of tentacles drops from his chin would be and strange grey suckered pseudopods are in place instead of his feet. With strange albino rubbery skin he looks horrific and is currently cloaked with several magic wardings. Looking at Grimgor he/it tilts its head, tentacles wriggling before a low husky voice echoes in Grimgor's mind. "You came, you interrupted my party... Now you shall die!" The last is screamed out towards Grimgor as it spits a stream of virulent venom towards the dwarf

Lara nearly pukes as she's engulfed in stinking mist. Taken out of the fight, she withdraws as best she can.

Tygar braces himself for the fog and as the fog subsides, he coughs but stands tall. He continues his firing at the horror despite his unstable stance.

[DrK]

Kona leaps forward blasting out elemental fire and slashing at the insane pseudonatural cleric but his blades bounce off the creature's weird rubbery skin. Grimgor uses brute force and jams the warpike through its body, impaling some 3ft of its length as its howls in agony or ecstasy its hard to say as you are locked in the cloying sweet smelling fog. Even as Tygar launches another arrow and Lara staggers away the thing drags itself up the warpike, a tail of ichor on the shaft as it leans forwards with its tentacles, a whispered, "I see what you see, can you see me...." .. as the words finish Grimgor see's a myriad of horror and nightmaers pass in front of him as he tries to drive away the horrific images.

Grimgor Ghoulsbane, Dwarven Warder

Grimgor growled in satisfaction at the thud of the weapon hitting the beast. However, as the creature pulled itself forward, it used more of its foul mind magic and suddenly Grimgor's eyes were filled with horrors, blinding him to everything around him. With a grunt, he pushed away from the beast, shouting, "'Ware yerselves! Beastie's got long arms n' magic. Ah cannae see ... watch yer arses!"

Once he had put some space between him and the creature, he thrust in the direction of the foul-smelling monster, trusting its size and his memory.

Kona the Illuminator Kona's blades flash through the mist, one neatly severing a tendril....of mist. The other bites into rubbery skin, and maybe flesh. Rapid Strike the cleric, attack1 - (1d20+11)[19], concealment - (1d100)[27], dam - (1d10+13)[17]+fire - (2d6+5)[15]; attack2 - (1d20+11)[28], concealment - (1d100)[7], dam - (1d10+13)[19]+fire - (2d6+5)[14]. If either of those attacks hit, swift to use Flash of Insight and spend psionic focus and 2 PP to affect Grimgor and Lara
