Galad looks at his group, and then says, "If they don't answer this time, we'll turn around and get the rest of the group," knocking sharply on the door.

[tophat]

The air elemental makes a short move forward towards maple and swings

smash(1d20+5)[23]
pow (1d4)[1]

Meanwhile there is no response from the door in the other room

[Zarpasphankaris]

Vrryyn turns around and starts walking back towards the door

Alright then. Seeing as there is no response from the other side of this door, and we have no means to open it. I say we head back and see how the other members are doing.

[ColonelFuster]

"Agreed, friend." Galad leads the way back to the room, smiling at his horse that looked so entirely out of place there.

[Slamexo]

Turning his head around to the others again, Jacob responded but stayed put.

"You guys go see how many of 'em are still alive, I'm going to stay here and try to get this door open. Oh and Galad, take this with you if you'd be so kind."

Reaching into his pouch, Jacob pulls out a long slender red gem and tosses it to Galad

"Try not to lose that if you don't mind, it's not easy to replace"

Turning his attention back to the door, Jacob decided to spend a little extra time in pushing the door open with sheer strength, not being a master of lock picking himself.

Taking 20, which means I'll be here for five minutes
Essentially though it adds up to a 21, which I hope is enough to open it! But at least I know what's going on thanks to the psicrystal!

Of course, we need the little skill monkey!!!

[ColonelFuster]

As they continue walking, Galad makes a listen check.
(1d20+1)[14]

[Zarpasphankaris]

Yea, Vrryyn makes one as well to see if he can hear the commotion in the other room.
Listen-(1d20+3)[21]

[Slamexo]

Jacob's psicrystal in Galad's possession also tries to hear the commotion, but only out of interest to know if some people are getting hurt.

Ah, naturally the biggest bonus gets a 1

Yea, Vrryyn makes one as well to see if he can hear the commotion in the other room.
Listen-[roll0]

Vrryyn can hear the sounds of fighting up ahead

[Zarpasphankaris]

Vrryyn starts with a run, most likely startling the paladin. He yells back to them

Sir Galad! Follow me quickly the others are in trouble! I can hear the sounds of combat now! Jacob, come quickly!

[ColonelFuster]

Galad starts running towards combat as well.
Would an initiative be in order? (1d20+6)[23]

[Slamexo]

"Hey Jacob, that snotty wizard guy says there's some fighting going on. I'd tell you to come, but a coward like yourself I wouldn't expect to join the fray!"

Obnoxious as his psicrystal was whilst talking to him telepathically, he did have a point. However, if Galad and Vrynn were both going to be there, then they could probably handle whatever it was without him. As such, he remained at the door, still pushing away at it.

[tophat]

(Aresk goes on count 12.)
Aresk having still had his blade out, decided he DID in fact have a spell for this being.

Gonna tell us what it is or shall we all just guess

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

"Um..."

That's all that Maple manages to say to the elemental before it attacks. Now, that's not necessarily as horrible as it sounds. Unlike their flaming counterparts, air elementals aren't so much dangerous as they are subtle and swift, like the classical element they embody. This helps explain why she didn't move to attack the thing immediately; in her mind, the air spirits aren't something that you worry too much about meeting.

Regardless, she's not too happy with this thing now.

"AAA! Pfft! Ow!"

It was rather like getting slapped across the face by somebody wearing gloves made of sandpaper. It won't kill you, but it still stings like anything. She steps backwards to adjust her stance, stumbles a bit as her feet encounter one of the stairs, and proceeds to grab hold of her Homemade Club of Face-smashing, fully intending to turn it on the elemental.

I think there's a fun little rule that lets you draw a weapon as part of a move action if your BA is +1 or better. Another fun little rule says that you can move and attack in the same round. So, theoretically, she can stumble out of attack-of-opportunity range, dramatically spin around as she pulls out her club, then jump back in and beat away. I'm sure there's a reason this won't work, hence the lack of an attack roll, but the pont is, she's not going to hang out next to the source of the pain while she draws her weapon, so the story bit holds regardless. If she can attack, Top can roll the things. She'll be holding the stick with both hands for the swing.

pretty sure you can only make your 5 foot step if you take no other move action in the turn , but theres nothing stopping you drawing your weapon and attacking

maple swing (1d20)[6]

I think aresk is casting that flame spell (1d20)[16]

[tophat]

damage for the fscorcher

(1d6+1)[2]

[tophat]

Liku also makes a swing for the elemental

(1d20+4)[13] (1d10+6)[14]

[tophat]

Those coming back from the other room , should be about ready to act next round .

new round begins

air elemental attacks maple again

(1d20+5)[20] (1d4)[1]

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

[Ah, jeez... Sorry about the wait.]

"Ooof!"

The sharp blast again does barely anything to hurt the elf, but she can just feel the internal bleeding it's going to cause. If this kept up for too long, she'd be a goner just the same.

The elementals were probably summoned by the same people who had led them to this place...

[Another 2-handed swing.

(1d20)[13] + 2 to hit

(1d6)[1] + 3 for damage]
