    After the floor vanishes, Tommasia summons the dark energies and curses one of the evil Oni, Endymia moves down and readies an attack, Ilerien casts another fog blanketing the area with darkness, but also with something else, the Oni in the cloud manages to shrug it off, while Pilrim moves to Cur's body.

    Round 2
    Both Oni growl low, vanish in a whisp of shadow, and then move slowly towards Pilgrim with unerring accuracy. They both seem to shift as if their person was a mirage, and their heads morphed into giant slavering mouths on top of their shoulders, both of them loomed over pilgrim, mouths drooling with saliva as they tried to chomp down onto Pilgrim. You hear in your head a mental message that sounds like scratching on metal *You are next.....*

    Mildly annoyed by the creature not having been affected even remotely and teleporting to attack Pilgrim, Evindal stepped on the bench to have a better view of the floor below and spoke another formula, pointing his finger down and towards the monsters. As another strip of rind dissolved in his hands, the floor got extremely slippery.

    Should work better than on the mud.

    These enemies were formidable, more planning was needed, that would have been the wiser option, but with Cur dead? disabled? and Pilgrim in imminent danger, it fell on Cervena to buy the casters some time to think.

    Sister! we need to hurt them, quickly!


    She flipped in the air with her natural levitation powers and psionically hustled next to the cursed oni attacking pilgrim. It was risky, it may spell death for her, but, was there another option? Her knives went to work with precision and purpose.

    "For once I agree with you!" came the immediate reply. Without warning, a pretty pale woman with long white hair and brilliant silver armor appeared next to Cervena. Endymia's black cape flowed through the air behind her, because she was already mid-spring! She threw herself at the demonic creature, catching onto its huge arm and viciously biting down on the unholy flesh. Her vampire-like fangs sunk in deep and delivered her toxic payload - a mixture of deadly poison and magical disease. The creature shrugged her off, and Endymia landed back on her feet with a satisfied look. Venom still dripped from those inhumanly sharp teeth. The paladin wiped the excess from her lip, then whirled her halberd forward, quickly applying a dose of something strangely fragrant on the blade. Knowing her, it couldn't have been anything good.

    Move Action: Invisible, Endymia moves in to attack.
    Free Action: Activate Divine Might (5/8 turn attempts remaining)
    Standard Action: Endymia will Bite Oni 2!
    Swift Action: Apply a dose of Ts'ous to her halberd.

    Factors for this attack:
    Endymia's Aura reduces the Oni's AC by 1.
    Attacking from Invisibility gives +2 attack bonus, and it denies the Oni any Dexterity bonuses to AC.
    If the Oni is Prone from the grease, he gets an additional -4 to AC.
    The Oni has -5 on all rolls, including saves, from Tommasia's curse.

    Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing Damage: (1d8+10)[14]

    Poison: The Oni has to make a DC 17 Fort Save or take (1d6)[2] Constitution damage. He also takes hp damage as appropriate for his lowered con score (1xHD Damage).

    Disease: The Oni has to make a DC 18 Fort Save or contract Blinding Sickness, which strikes immediately, dealing (1d4)[2] Strength Damage. If he takes 2 or more points of Strength damage, he has to make another DC 18 Fort Save or become permanently blinded.

    Balance Check: Since he's standing on grease, if he took damage, he has to make another balance check (Reflex DC 19) or fall prone, per the balance rules.

    The plan was to leap off in anger and charge towards the entity that the sisters were attacking. Hopefully to finish it off before its fellow could stand up. Tommasia even was going to cry out FOR CUR! as she jumped...

    ...

    ...

    ...maybe it was the darkness. Maybe a spare globule of Grease from Evindal's shaping landed on the second floor she was on or just backlash from being a hexblade, but Tommasia's take-off wasn't clean.

    "FOR CURRRAAAAARGHFAHHHHHH!!!" Pain exploded in Tommasia's ankle as she fell. She was pretty sure she heard a crunch as well, but there was no time to stop. Ride the pain, ride the anger and adrenaline before the enemies had time to recover and damn her own health. With a roar of furious agony, she brought her greatsword down in a vicious slash into the oni Cervena and Endymia were assaulting. As the blade embedded itself into the enemy, Tommasia swiftly sent out the command to activate its Sudden Stunning enchant.

    You are terrible to behold in battle, and few foes have the heart to face you without quailing.

    Benefit

    When you charge, make a full attack, or cast a spell that either targets an enemy or includes an enemy in its area, you gain the frightful presence ability for that round. Each enemy within a 20-foot radius of you must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier) or be shaken for 1 minute. Regardless of its success or failure on the saving throw, any creature exposed to this effect is immune to your frightful presence for the next 24 hours. This is an extraordinary morale effect.

    With speed that defies his size, Pilgrim moves with remarkable ease around and between the oni's lunging maws. Closing to within striking distance, his only answer to the creatures' threat is to raise his warhammer high overhead before slamming it downward into the wounded oni's midsection -- once, again, and again, as though driving the head of a giant nail downward into the earth. Though the weapon the warforged wields is of an ordinary size -- perhaps even small in the hands of one so large -- the force of its impact is thunderous, the sound deep and resonant, as though Pilgrim were swinging an anvil rather than a hammer.

    Evindal sculpts another spell, and lays down a layer of grease under both of the Kamu no Oni's, the closest one slips and smacks the ground with it's great bulk, and then the rest of the team springs upon it like a pack of wolves: Cervena with her blurring blades, manages to bite into the Oni's hide several times, causing it to leak violet blood, Endymia show's her versatility and bites with her mouth dripping with poison and a spell is released unto the Oni, Tommasia takes the moment to leap from the second story to strike at the prone beast, but lands awkwardly, spraining her ankle, the attack is a solid one however. And then Prilgrim tries his best to fit his style with the team, striking at the prone Oni for good measure.

    Alarmingly, the Oni is still not dead, it's eyes were wide with pure rage, and you can all tell it's hide is resistant to all of your attacks, not only that, but it seems to be healing before your eyes!

    Round 3
    In a puff of smoke, both Oni vanish, the hurt one appears next to Evindal! as the other appears in the corner below the existing floor and near Pilgrim.

    The Oni vanished to reappear next to Evindal, Cervena needed to protect the mage, he was the only one with the tools to overcome these creatures regeneration. Or so thought Cervena. She hustled and levitated to the floor next to the Oni and went into her routine combo trying to inflict enough damage for the Oni to switch it's attention to her, she held a surprise for it.

    Cervena moves up to the the Oni that launched an ineffectual attack against Evindal, she tanks the attack that comes her way, taking the damage as part of the move, she then slashes and cuts the Oni before her like it was a Beast Roast at Orchant time, ichor and violet blood flies everywhere, and the iron taste of viscera permeates the area around you.

    The Oni's eyes go wide with sudden clarity of mind, it realizes whats happening, but the attacks were so brutal, it barely had time before it's guts were slithering out onto the nice lacquered floor.

    The elf ducked the moment the monstrous creature appeared in front of him, and even then the enormous club almost touched his head. A split second later, and it would surely be a split second later if not for the very timely enchancement courtesy of Pilgrim, and... The assault continued from different angles, and Evindal danced around every strike, shoving his invisible force shield into the creature's gaping and very toothy maw after it, presumably frustrated, tried to bite him in half.

    And at that moment it shuddered - once, twice, more, the monster's unnaturally colored blood splashing out of the mist. And then it sunk to the floor, life fleeing its mostrous body.

    <You've practically shredded it, and in a very timely manner. Thank you.>

    The mage traced a spiral in the air with his index finger, reciting another incantation, his voice taking a deep and resonant undertone. The spell's somatic component ended with an abrupt throwing motion, and a greenish orb flew rapidly towards the remaining entity. He watched it go for a moment and carefully stepped down from the bench and into the remaining mist, moving along the wall.

    The upward blow from the oni strikes Pilgrim with such force that the massive warforged practically folds around the impact, rising momentarily off his feet before landing back down on the floor. Pilgrim's left side is now visibly misshapen, a large dent in his metal plating revealing a multitude of splintered wooden fibers underneath.

    <"I cannot sustain another such blow,"> The warforged relays matter-of-factly. <"I will do all I can before I am disabled.">

    As Pilgrim finds his footing, the metal of the warforged's body begins to pulse with magical energy. The pulses are intermittent at first, but they rapidly grow in both frequency and intensity as the warforged moves to close the gap with the remaining oni. So great is the quantity of arcane energy surging through his body that Pilgrim's plating audibly groans under the strain. He draws back his warhammer, and with a roar of effort, channels that energy into a series of spectacularly destructive blows.

    <Not if I have anything to say about it...> Tommasia limped over as fast as she could over to the warforged's side. They already lost Cur -- they weren't going to lose Pilgrim too. As Tommasia raised her blade, she got ready to inflict another curse upon the last oni...

    ...and it was over in an eyeblink as the rest of the squad unleashed their aggression upon the enemy.

    Tommasia allowed herself a sigh of relief as she activated her healing belt at full charge on Pilgrim.

    (4d8)[17] HP returned to Pilgrim.

    <"Good work,>" Endymia thought as the second oni fell. Pilgrim's display of concentrated magic was nothing short of amazing. Delivering a few massive blows with that power had been enough to fell a creature just like the other they'd been struggling against. Just in the nick of time, too - the warforged was looking battered and dented otherwise. Endymia approached him and took a closer look at his foe's fallen body. It too was broken and partially singed. But considering its strange anatomy, one couldn't be too certain. Endymia stomped her plated boot down hard on what was left of the creature's midsection before planning her next move.

    <"I still have a bit of healing left. Come to me if you are injured."> In truth her thoughts were a bit more directed than that. Was Cervena okay? The paladin had already witnessed her take one beating today, and it was hard to tell how many injuries she had sustained in the darkness. But she didn't let her concern slip, instead directing her next thoughts to professional matters. <"Now where is the captain? I thought for sure he'd be here. Has anyone set eyes on him?">

    <Might be the onis were the one running the whole thing...maybe with some illusionary leader? Ev, is there any evidence that there was a third?> Tommasia grimaced, limping towards Cur's corpse. Whatever the warforged had seen had died with him. She shook her head. <We can't stay here much longer, but I don't want to leave Cur's body with the enemy!>

    Evindal's response chimed in immediately.

    <There was no indication of our target apart from Cur's warning. My divination would've detected him if he were invisible or ethereal, so I must conclude he was using neither to conceal himself. There are ways to circumvent such divinations, but those are quite obscure.
    I wouldn't want to leave him here as well. Does anyone possess a bag of holding of enough capacity?>

    Round 4

    Both Oni's lie dead on the floor, their guts slipping out onto the floor stinking the whole place up with a strange metallic taste similar to copper. It seemed to never end as it slowly slopped out of their bellies, viscera slid everywhere on the polished floors.

    A few of you managed to hear a commotion outside, muted sounds as if shouting and a general clamor of movement.

    What do you do?

    <"Hold it. I hear some ruckus outside... it's like the troops are stirring."> The paladin gritted her teeth. They'd have their work cut out for them if they ended up having to fight through the whole encampment to escape. <"We need to wrap this up and get out of here!"> Endymia took another skeptical look at the felled oni at her feet. She decided to grab its weapon while she still had a moment to breathe. It had a strange style, but its brutal purpose was obvious -- she loved it. She packed the tetsubō longways in her pack and then readied herself for whatever came next.

    We need to retrieve any evidence, that includes Cur's body. Who can pick it up or teleport it?




    Then she ask Ilerien standing next to her.

    Can you teleport me outside to the building's roof? aim high, I can levitate from there. And be mindful the time loop I created will soon end, I have never time hopped a section of a building, I'm not sure what will happen.

    Evindal sighs audibly. Even his mental voice "sounds" weary - and a little disappointed, maybe in himself.

    <Sadly, I'm almost tapped out for today. I have only one spell capable of such a feat left, and even then I'd have to teleport with you - magical translocation for significant distances becomes far more dangerous and unpredictable in case the spellcaster isn't travelling along, hence the conventional formula I use doesn't even account for it. In any case, it's our last means of immediate escape beyond the boundaries of the camp, unless esteemed Pilgrim here doesn't possess another one. Are you sure? Would the ability to propel yourself in the air as opposed to simple levitation suffice?
    Otherwise, I'd suggest getting out of here to recuperate and formulate another plan. Preferrably with more preliminary reconnaisance involved.>

    <We still have the Alter Self potions -- even Cur should have one on his body we can use for Pilgrim. Quaff them to appear as hobgoblins while carrying Cur's corpse. That should buy us some time to get to a more secure location here.> suggested Tommasia.

    Pilgrim steps over to Cur's body, bends down, then heaves the mangled remains of the fallen warforged up onto his shoulder. <"I am able to carry Cur's body"> -- he looks towards Evindal -- <"but I am unable to teleport us from the camp. Such a spell is not known to me.">

    The thought of transforming into one of those ugly hobgoblins struck a nerve with Endymia, so she didn't address it immediately, even though it seemed like a decent plan. <"There's not much time. Let's head out the back door and make our escape. Keep your eyes peeled. We might still have a chance to assassinate the captain."> The paladin walked around the corner and back the way they had come in, almost to the door. What in the world was that noise? The thrill of battle still hadn't worn off for her yet, and that sound was only adding to the feeling of heightened anxiety. <"But Evindal - please be ready with that spell in case things get dicey out there.">

    Your hesitation brings you closer to destiny, the dull roar grows, you can hear the clang of arms and armor, the dull thuds of feet hitting mud and the general sound of an army mustering.

    For a flash of a moment, a warforged-sized patch of sky ripples, and Disject appears thirty feet above the roof of the building that the Rose Petals are in. As he falls, he turns out into a dive, timing his impact with the roof to meet with a strike from his adamantine blade.

    With a loud crash, your strike, accelerated by your fall smashes through the clay tiles through the wooden beams. The impact stalls your fall and you manage to land to avoid most of the damage. With a puff of dust and debris, Disject is suddenly among you all.
