    Kurnos & Keston tend to the miserable maltreated beasts, doing what they can to soothe the creatures and calm them. The griffons react, rising to their feet and moving closer as they hold forward offerings of sustenance with outstretched arms.

    But what is that strange, scent? Kurnos' senses detect an underlying taint of possibly humanoid remains. Keston, distracted at first at their plight, notes a tell-tale aura of transformative magic. Kuln spies a bucket of food in the corner, and the food looks alarmingly like pieces of people! All of a sudden the scene turns and the piteous creatures seem far less interested in the offered water as they do in your own warm bodies!!!!

    The closest three griffons lunge forward beaks and claws seeking to tear apart the unsuspecting Keston and Kurnos even as the danger suddenly dawns.

    At the rear, the remaining 'captive' griffon begins to change shape, its form altering from the dishevelled yet noble griffon to reveal its true form - a hideously ugly creature with the body and legs of a nine-foot-long stag, the tufted tail of a lion, and a low-slung, wedgeshaped head like that of a giant badger. It has glowing red eyes, a sudden nauseating stench, and it drools loathsomely. Its foul, oily skin is a motley mixture of brown, gray, and black hues, and it has sharp, bony ridges in lieu of teeth.

    Varian El'Djiran

    Varian's pity at the sight of the miserable animals gives way to shock and a rush of adrenaline, as the situation changes suddenly, turning into a frenzy of claws and savagery.

    Steeling his resolve, he speaks words of power, and giant wings of translucent blue unfurl behind him, striking out at their foes with blinding speed.

    Spoiler: OOC
    Show

    I'm assuming here that Varian can manage a line of sight to all enemies, if not, he can use a 5ft. step or a move action to achieve it. If not possible, apply cover as necessary.

    Casting Wings of flurry at the 3 griffons and the stag-badger. With blood-quickening meditation of bahamut targeted at the stag-badger.
    force damage - (9d6)[30] + daze condition for one round to all enemies. Reflex save DC 20 to avoid daze and half the damage. An additional untyped damage - (2d6)[3] for the stag-badger if it is Evil.

    Keston realizes the mistake too late. The presented situation was too plausible. The rage of two of the beasts focused on him could be a quick deadly mistake. One bite missed but the other hit solidly ripping out a full mouthful. As he began to feel dizzy from sudden blood loss he staggered his way past the rest of the party. He muttered "Help Kurnos"

    Kurnos Blackfoot

    Kurnos pauses, looking round in horror, "Spirits preserve us" he snarls at the shapeshifting beast that lunges at him, its teeth bouncing off the thick purple scales gleaming around his waist. He rolls forward to make space for his colleagues and leaps at the angry devil badger, sphinx claws gleaming with incarnate energy and buzzing with enhanced speed, pulling his incarnum into his body he focuses it on the gleaming scales and long claws.

    Behind him both dogs howl in rage and anger, trapped out of reach of their master by the narrow confines!

    "Kurnos, give them hell!" Wat called out, before he move aside and let the severely wounded Keston pass.

    "Are you alright. I have a belt of healing, do you wish to use it on yourself?"

    Don't see I have much an angle to do anything. So using White Raven Tactics to give Kurnos another turn to attack the enemies. Then if Kurnos says he needs the healing, going to give him my Belt of Healing as an action so he can heal himself and save his spell slots for later.

    Kurnos Blackfoot

    Kurnos nods to Wat, as he shouts and distracts the savage badger beast and the griffin nearest to hit, taking advantage of the momentary distraction to duck between the beast and the Griffin to the corner where he can't be surrounded, still slashing and swinging madly at the leurocotta. As a space opens up he whistles loudly, Secundus bounding in, massive claw snapping out at the nearest feral griffin as the armoured hound bounds into the room.

    Varian steps forward unleashing magical translucent wings that batter and buffet the ambushing beasts. The draconic spell is brutally effective, the might of the draco-mage smashing the leucrotta about the room for 30,30,30 & 18 damage leaving the three griffon-form stunned and barely able to hold their feet.

    Keston, badly-injured, takes the opportunity to duck back out of the chamber as Jascan also uses the magic of his mandolin to hasten the group.

    Spurred by Jascan & Wat, Kurnos leaps at the farthest stinking leucrotta. He swings and slashes tearing into it for 13, 11, 11, 8, 11, & 12 damage the relentless onslaught overwhelming it the vile deceitful creature distressingly calling out in the voice of a young girl "Please sir, no..." even as it falls.

    Kurnos Blackfoot

    As the vile creature falls to his claws and tries to cry out in a young girl's voice Kurnos slashes at its throat with his long gleming incarnum claws. A muttered "Enough of your trickery creature..." as he kicks it away from him. The buffeting spell of power rushes around him and he tenses against the force, but should know better as the magic only assails the griffins. As the one flanked by him and Secundus reels he lashes at it savagely, a barked "Take this one, make way for yourselves..." to the others.

    Wat shifts to the side, trying to get at least one of the griffon's surrounded, but it does not quite look like they've got it. Best to focus down at least one of them. He strikes with his trident against the southern griffon.

    Jascan looks troubled. With the sharp angles and unforgiving lines of attack, he's not confident about hitting his target.

    He instead lets out a long low note, curling his left hand in front of his face as if to crush the ton1d4e as it comes out. As he hits the right pitch, the glassed threads if the gloves flare out, and tiny glowing stars shoot out.

    Kurnos wrestles with the closest, batting aside the huge paws to swat at the beast for 9 and 9 damage a final blow for 14 damage putting the shapechanging beast down in a limp mess.

    Secondus lunges and claws at the remaining creature, rending for 10, 12 & 11 damage. As the enhanced hound does so Wat swings about, swinging his shield wide but striking true with his trident for 7 damage. It's enough to end the fight, the final opponent bested.

    You're left catching your breath in the room, the bodies of the trickster changesteeds slowly morphing back from disheveled griffons into their strange, true forms.

    Kurnos Blackfoot

    As the last of the beasts fall Kurnos kicks the nearest one soundedly before pausing, flicking the blood free from his long sphynx claws. "How fares everyone? Are you well or injured?" As he asks he kneels beside secundus patting the beast's shaggy head and letting the dog dig into the nearest Leurocotta.

    "What else is in here I wonder..." he asks looking around the room for a further way forward

    Varian lets out a breath of relief as the last of the monsters fall. Turning toward Keston, he asks: "Are you alright? You seemed to take a bad hit."

    He then joins Kurnos in taking a look around the room, searching for anything interesting or out of place. "I wonder what they kept these beasts for... Anyway, if there is no hidden way forward here, we should try the main hallway doors."

    Keston slightly raises a hand, palm outward. "I'll be alright, thanks. Sorry about that. I did not think their tricks would not be so layered and it was a believable scenario." He continues his healing process by activating one of his wands then applies it to others as needed.

    Healing begun, he looks around with the others. "There should be something to disable the trap door, or a secret door to bypass it outright? Kurnos, can the dogs sniff out a used passage we haven't found yet?"

    Kuln stows his warhammers & gets out his tools, the wee gnome eager to inspect the place for hidden secrets. Beginning as he does in the current room he clambers over the many large vile-smelling corpses about the room as he searches. His gnomish luck is with him, for within a few moments he has found the tell-tale signs of an expertly-hidden yet well-used secret door. Spending some further time he inspects it for any traps before popping it open. With a wry grin he ducks into the passageway beyond, returning some seconds later.

    "It's clear. It leads to some sort of mirror-maze. See what you can find down there, I'll check the rest of this place out for any more secrets."

    Ducking down the hidden passage you are indeed confronted with a dizzying array of reflections. Polished metal mirrors stretch from floor to ceiling, forming a maze of endless corridors and reflected images.

    Lucky you checked in this room first, that secret door was very well hidden!

    Kuln will exit here, until/ unless razorback rejoins.

    At the discovery of the mirror maze Kurnos shakes his head. ”More deceit and trickery, I expect nothing less from these shifters” He takes the lead, mounting up until he is astride Primus before uttering an ancient primal spell as his and Primus’s claws darken and extend further with cruel barbs.

    “Now we hunt…” he mutters as they pace into the room and barge into the first panes of glass

    Jascam enters tenatively, but cheers up immensely when he sees what lies within.

    Hey, an entire maze of me! That's no hardship.

    One hand rather absently dips into a pouch and comes out with a small stub of coloured chalk. Crouching down, he draws a large J in a circle on the ground, together with a a line and arrow indicating which way he is going.

    Looks like fun... Oh, if anyone comes out who looks a bit like me, but isn't nearly as cool, then stab them, will you? These people may be able to imitate faces, but they can't handle sheer style...

    Kurnos takes the lead, clambering astride Primus. They lash out at the mirrors in the anteroom - being steel the mirrors do not smash to pieces but the powerful blows of the two dent and warp them, causing the resultant reflected images to be distorted and somewhat comical but far less confusing.

    The hunters growl, the stink of dopplegangers by now all to familiar to them and lingering in the air of the maze.

    Jascan grasps his coloured chalk and marks clearly on the ground as you prepare to meet the challenge of the mirror maze.

    Primus will be hampered due to the restrictive size of the passageways ('squeezing' rules -4 attack & AC).

    Which way to go (north, west, or south)?
