Ah, I meant the crystal had vanished, rather then sticking in you.
sorry having out that bit a bit vague, should we redo the last few sets of actions?

Yes, as both Zarabeth and Linteshar would have attacked the construct, instead of checking the stairs. Should we post attack rolls for both?

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

The succubus is through playing it soft against this construct, and now its time to get serious. Her best attacks only work on creatures with a mind, but she has Zarabeth as her tool and shes willing to use her. She casts a Haste on the swordswoman, and includes Laine as well, to boost their attacks.

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

With Linteshar's spell boosting her, Zarabeth has another trick of her own to power up her attacks. Reaching into her arsenal of Abjurant Champion tricks, she summons the power of her best spell (5th level slot) but channels it into her blades, making their damage dealing potential that much better, and then proceeds to hammer the construct.

EDIT: At least 80 points of damage and depending on results of attack #1 and #3 on her first hand, upwards of 120. Hand #2, attack #1 is a pure miss.

[Togath]

As Zarabeth strikes at the construct three of her attacks hit, but they seem to be mirrored back onto her about halfway through each strike, damaging the construct somewhat, but still dealing three nasty gashes to herself.

Zarabeth;

Spoiler

Show

As your attacks start to hit, you feel the strange feeling of frost comeback, before being dispersed by the searing pain of your own attacks partly rebounding on you, dealing 32 damage

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth shrieks in pain as her attacks damage herself as well, and points them out to Linteshar. Linteshar is ready to work on that with her next action.

(1d20)[14]

As the fear and pain ebbs from his limbs, replaced by the surge of adrenaline and Linteshar's arcane power, Laine unleashes a hail of arrows at the construct from point-blank range.

The howling attack didnt occur. Since I was under the impression that the construct disappeared. It might howl now, or do something else.

Okay, I wasn't sure if that action was being redone as well.

[Togath]

The howling thing was one of the undone things.

Current round(your attack did go through)
All your shots strike the golem, badly damaging it, however the same effect as last time appears to have happened to Zarabeth, causing arrow wounds to appear on her. She appears near death.

Zarabeth:

Spoiler

Show

As Laine's arrows hit the golem, the frost returns once more, banished this time by the sting of his arrows, dealing 7481 damage

Seemimly bored with the situation, the strange construct lands, before fading away with a mechanical, and maddening, laughing.

Linteshar: roll a will save(DC 30), if you fail you lose consciousness.

Laine: as Zarabeth falls, The golem fades, and Linteshar is hit by a mental attack, the fairy pushes past you.
"what happened 'ere?" she says as she kneels by Zarabeth, and uses a spell to heal her back to 1hp "are you okay?, I never expected anyone like 'im to be here"

LINTESHAR

(1d20+13)[17]

EDIT:OMG, thats a terrible roll.

Linteshar suffers another mental attack and collapses to the ground.

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth collapses from the pain of Laine's arrows and seems to be spinning towards a blackness, when she is suddenly drawn back by the heal spell of the fairy.

What was that thing? And whats happened to Linteshar, do you have something to heal her with?

[Athaleon]

Laine

Cursing colorfully, Laine rushes to his stricken companions as they fall. Fortunately, the construct seemed to have vanished.

As the fairy's healing spell brings Zarabeth back to consciousness, Laine turns his attention to Linteshar.

"No wounds that I can see. What happened to her?"

[Togath]

"It looks like the golem used somethin' on 'er, This should be able to get her back up though" the fairy then lays a hand on Linteshar and chants something in an odd language, after a small flash of light, Linteshar appears to stir. "I'm not sure what that thing was, but from where I was it looked pretty nasty" "I had heard some rumors amongst my associates that something like it was involved in the disappearance of my 'cousin' from the guard that survived"

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

Linteshar seems to recover after the fairy lays a spell on her.

Whatever it was, Im not sure if we arent in over our heads. And even if we are not, we're going to have to retreat, at least for a moment, because Zarabeth is clearly in no shape to continue. And that would be bad, because they would alerted to our efforts.

[Togath]

"I could heal her up a bit, and there's only a room or two left in here, though it is starting to get dark, and this area does have higher then usual numbers of reported darkling attacks"

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

Do it then and then we move up. No pointi in getting caught by those things

While the fairy heals Zarabeth, Linteshar will (finally) check the stairs to see if they are trapped or wont fall the minute she steps on them.

(1d20+24)[43] Perception

[Togath]

"Alright" with that the fairie begins to heal Zarabeth, bringing her back to 53 hit points.

Perception Results;
you find no traps on the staircase, at the top you can see a door that is sitting open a crack.

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

Youre going to need this.
Linteshar takes out two potions of healing, which Zarabeth drinks

(2d8+2)[6]

EDIT: Well that sucked.

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth keeps her swords out, and attempts to move quietly up the stairs, and peek through the door without alerting whatever is there.

(1d20+5)[6] Stealth

EDIT: Okay, we're not rolling tonight anymore.

[Athaleon]

Laine

Laine lines up along the wall behind Zarabeth, with another arrow nocked, and tenses himself to burst through the door.

[Togath]

"what!, No no no no no, you won't get me too, you wooden fiend!" shouts an angry but alarmed voice from behind the door as Zarabeth approaches it.

[Debbie_D]

Hearing the sounds of some sort of battle, Zarabeth bursts open the door as she energizes her Shield spell.

[MikelaC1]

When Linteshar sees the headstrong swordswoman charging into battle, she immediately brings out her wings, and flies up quickly to see what she has gotten herself into.

[Togath]

As Zarabeth pushes open the door you can see the fairie that was leaning against it knocked a few feet backwards. This room is about the same size as the entrance, and has a window on it's east wall which is mostly blocked by dust. On the south wall of this room you can spot two sets of shackles, and a mount for a third, set into the wall. The wall around the empty mount is stained a dark cobalt colour, with the wall's original colour showing as an outline in the shape of a fairy and the missing shackles. the fairie pushed aside by Zarabeth looks a bit battered, and he holds a sword covered with relatively fresh blood. two more fairies lie sprawled on the floor, one dead, with stab wounds--probably from the conscious one's sword--and the other curled up with blank eyes, alive, but unconscious.

As everyone enters the room the conscious fairie starts to stumble towards the party while muttering "thank the spirits, your not a golem!" "Save me! Save me!, Save me from this waking nightmare!, I’ll pay you all I have, just free me from this cursed prison"

[Debbie_D]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth does not put away her swords just yet, but does approach the fairy.

If you want to be rescued, drop the sword and come quietly to me.
Did you attack these other two, and are there any more of them? Any more prisoners, I see two more sets of shackles?

She waits until the fairy that hired them enters

Is this your missing cousin?

(naturally, the rest of her instructions do not apply if he doesnt, in the first case, drop his sword)

[Togath]

"Are you with the guard, was he your doing?" despite his angered tone he drops the sword and shuffles backwards slightly.

The fairie that entered the room enters while he's saying this.
"I had hoped to collect all of yer crew. So what'd ya you do with the heir" she says as she draws a small knife and moves towards him "Answer now". she says in a calm, cold voice.

[MikelaC1]

LINTESHAR

Linteshar enters the room and is a little confused by what she just said. In order to make things not get too complicted, she starts by attempting a Charm Monster on the now disarmed fairy

Spoiler

DC:31 Will save

She then turns to the fairy.
So this is, or isnt your cousin? And by what you just said, it sounds like this was more of a seek and destroy mission, rather than a rescue one? What about these others?
