Re: Heart of Gheddon
Seeing no source of the bolts, Mariel, presuming that this is an attack, will create a wall of smoke on her left side, running to the door, and take a 5 foot step further forwards.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
I move, standing by Ori covered by the pillar, and releasing Casker into the air.
-If you can approach the next door, do so.
My voice is almost a whisper and I am quite sure that he can make the words easily.
Then he looks towards the darkness trying to sort out any attacker or anything unusual.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Mariel fails to maintain her minimum forward speed and falls to the ground.
Spoiler
(1d6)[3] fall damage
Casker flies off toward the door, getting a little over halfway.
Bolts fly from either direction at those who have not taken cover.
The first two collide with Axiles armor and it becomes apparent that they are made of glass as they shatter into useless shards on impact. The next two strike him in much softer areas and splinter into shards which drive deep into leg and abdomen.
the shots from the left clearly passed through the wall of smoke.
Spoiler
Axile takes 17 and 9 damage and loses 2 second level spell slots.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Mariel scrapes herself up off of the floor, somehow looking weaker than she usually does.
"This is REALLY starting to annoy me. Either we leave, or we attack the sources of the bolts, whatever they are."
Mariel disappears from sight, before she heads in the direction the bolts are coming from.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
"Agreed!" Axile says. He hate this; there was very little he could do at this point. Figuring that his minor magic spell wouldn't help them find their foes, he drops it. Moving a little to his right, he fires a cone of flames in that directing, hoping to hit the foe.
Spoiler
Step 10ft to the right. Using my Elemental Blast in a 30ft cone in the same direction.

"No!" said Andrann. "Fall prone and stop moving around like fools! It might actually be a trap!" he yelled before reaching down to the ground.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
That sounds like a good enough advice to me. Tightening myself to the ground while I wait for Casker to arrive to the door and I whisper in Ori's ear.
-Once my familiar gets to the door I can switch anyone's places with him, do you want to give a try and open the door? You are probably the safest bet.Working on: Anointed Heritor PEACHes are welcome.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Axile unleashes a torrent of burning flame. Which beats back the shadows during its brief existence, but does nothing else apparent.
Andrann takes to the floor to avoid bolt-fire
Ori looks to Firia and nods. She whispers back,
"Once i get the key we can make a run for the exit."
Casker makes it to the door and lands in front of it.
Mariel vanishes from sight but the light she gives off does not. the circle of light shifts drastically.
Glass bolts fly once again from either side, raining down and shattering upon Axile.
Axile:
Spoiler
takes
5 + (1d6)[1]
6 + (1d6)[2]
9 + (1d6)[4]
and loses 3 2nd level spell slots
Mariel:
Spoiler
from here you can see that the bolts appear to be coming out of the wall, 10' above you. Solid wall, no apparent trap holes or arrow slits.
Map:
Spoiler
Caskers (smaller orange dot) position is innaccurate, he is by the north door.

Mariel:
SpoilerDisbelieves the wall, unfortunately there is still a wall there, just with arrow slots in it every 20' or so. Beyond this particular arrow slit is a fairly human looking man with a complex looking crossbow and a stitched-closed mouth.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
-What... the...
Mariel was nowhere to be seen and her voice was hard to hear, she said something on the lines of arrow slits? Charged ahead by herself? Well perhaps it was a bit more problematic than that.
I look at Andrann and Axile.
-Where the hell did the elf go? We should be moving towards the door.
I approach Ori, keeping the quiet voice.
-I'll get you to the door, prepare to hide.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Great. He was starting to feel drained from all of the bolts attacking him. They were definitely draining some of his arcane powers, he was glad he had some of his energies bound to himself, at least they couldn't take that!
Axile hears Firia talking to Ori about bolting towards the door. He figures it'd be best to take out these archers first, as they could simply case after them if they run away. Besides, he was one to never back down from a challenge. With several glass bolts sticking out of him, he runs straight towards Mariel's voice, trusting that she know's what she's talking about.
Spoiler
Double-move towards Mariel's voice. Spend a swift action to use a charge from the belt of battle, getting another move action.
If I reach a wall, Axile will trust Mariel's voice and try to run through the wall.
Will save (1d20+7)[23] Don't I get a +2 to disbelieve for being warned about it? If so, that needs to be factored in too.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Andrann, if he could determine the direction of the gate, would crawl forwards to it. If his allies would not, or he could not determine its direction, he would stay close to Firia and Ori. Nevertheless, he would call out loudly. "Just keep your heads down! In this situation, not even demons should be able to hit something shrouded by the darkness of the ground!" he would say, most likely to be addressing especially Axile.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Axile runs full out to the left into a wall, colliding with an audible smack, while Andraan crawls along the ground toward the inner iron gate.
Ori nods to Firia and switches places with Casker. up to the door. The light ten suddenly shifts radically. All going dark for the majority of those in the main chamber. The clatter of bolts on stone is audible.
Axile:
Spoiler
The wall is illusionary! you can see through it to note arrow slits about 15' up along the wall (the one directly above you is now radiating brilliant light). and at 20' intervals along the wall horizontally.
Mariel:
Spoiler
You are in a 120' long stone hallway with spiraling stairwells down at either end, nearby is a crossbowman covered in glittering sparkles. He casts a spell centered on himself, filling the area with glittering dust and forcing a will save from you.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Great now there is no light around. I cannot see a damn thing. I put my hands in the backpack searching for something useful, I had cataloged all of Bill's stuff and he should have a lantern some... here it is.
I pull the lantern out of the back and pressing myself to the wall I ignite it, making sure that the light beam is covered by the column at my side, pointing towards the door were Ori should be. If everything works she should need some light to see.
-Casker, your move again, be careful.
Again I point my familiar towards the door.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Axile is angered by this turn of events! Was he suppose to just wait around for her? That was useless! Of course, he had other ways of getting up there, but it'd require him to lose some of his binds. After taking a second to debate, he decides it'd be best for him to get up there and help!
He lets go of some of the powerful arcane energies circulating around him, letting them dissipate into the wind. He then calls upon his arcane energies, using his talents to prevent himself from having to lose his energies. An aura briefly envelops him, before two white wings sprout from his back.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
White wings burst forth from Axiles back as he binds anew.
When Firia lights the hooded lamp it can be seen Andraan continued his prone crawl forward.
Ori tumbles back into the light. A sizable gash in her left arm is easily visible.
Casker is hesitant to repeat his flight.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
"It's time to get rid of the pesky one....." Axile mutters, before starting to fly up to the aid of Mariel. Unfortunately, he wasn't use to wings, and ends up stumbling a little bit as he flies up.
He does manage to get within view of the slots where they were firing their arrows, however, with a simple snap of his fingers, unleashes a gout of flames at the fool.
Spoiler
Unfortunately, I can't fly straight up. So I'll fly up 15ft and back 15ft (towards the center of the map).

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Axile flies up and back unleashing a cone at the wall of flame that briefly illuminates quite well.The lone figure visible through the arrow slot appears only mildly worse for wear.
Ori retreats from the darkness and prepares to combat whatever might chase her from it and Andraan crawls along the ground. Closer toward Ori Al'Kasaar.
When Firia begins to sing, despite the frustration of the situation, all of the party are uplifted and emboldened. Suddenly the odds don't seem all that bad.
Mariel finds she can see once more! she also finds that the one she's sharing a hall with is slightly more roasted than before.
The darkness rushes forward into the light like a tsunami, enveloping Ori.

Spoiler
axile is actually back 15' from the wall.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Axile moves back another 15" just enough to ensure he can stay up. Seeing his blast didn't do much, he still chooses to unleash another burst of energy, this time streaks of lightning, at the foe, hoping to harm it more.
Spoiler
Fly back another 15ft (minimum to stay afloat).
Line version of Elemental Blast (60ft) (4d6+14)[30] Electricity damage
Reflex save DC22 halves.
Most of my other spells are debuffs, but either areas (Mariel would be caught up) or wouldn't do much without melee support (ray of exhaustion, stolen breath). And my summons won't do much without the conjuration bind to boost them.........

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Axile flies backwards and unleashes a brilliant lightning bolt through the arrow slot, the man beyond appears completely unaffected to his eyes though.
Andraan forfeits his pursuit of Ori and his crawling to rise and make for the wall.
Ori ducks out of the darknened area, looking even more wounded, and rushes up to a wall.
Firia moves over toward the wall, continuing her song.
Meanwhile Mariel blasts the practically motionless crossbowman with an orb of force, knocking him to the floor, where he bleeds heavily.
The areas of light resistant darkness separate and vanish.

Re: Heart of Gheddon
Axile is clearly aggravated by the ineffectiveness of his assault. 'Knew I should of learned some other blast spells........ My other spells won't do much for now..... It'd be better to save them for later.' He thinks to himself. He starts to turn around in his flight, but unfortunately, due to his lack of practice with flying, is unable to completely come back around.
He does, however, unleash another blast this time of crystal shards, at the man.
Spoiler
Average flight maneuverability: can only turn 90 degrees in a single turn. I should end up near the pillar to the south of my position.
Using my Elemental Blast: Line of Cold
(4d6+14)[28]. DC 22 reflex save for half.
Seeing that he won't be able to get in a clear blast at the foe, Axile continues his flight, and is able to turn himself around. Unfortunately he is not able to get all the way back towards his foe.
Spoiler
Double move. Turning 180 degrees by flying in a semi-circle.
