Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
something bumps into you before you move, nearly knocking you flat. The giant iron door proves too hard for you to move.
Darkvisionators:
Spoiler
You can clearly see Axile wander off to the door and Mariel head for Firias voice as well as a spray of blood from Firias back, with no apparent cause.
Firia:
Spoiler
Something very blade-like cuts across your back. Forcing you to concentrate or lose your spell.
Spoiler
14 damage, one of your first level spell slots vanishes
everyone else:
Spoiler
hears a slicing sound

Axile manages to stabilize himself after being bumped. Not knowing what it was, or who it was, Axile hurries to the door. After all, with light, they would actually be able to see what was happening! After realizing he can move the door, he lets out a sight of frustration. "Might as well try blasting it....." He mutters to himself, before stepping about about 5ft.
Raising his hand forward, Axile lets out a simple chant before acid starts to bubble at his feet. However, it doesn't seem to affect him at all. Instead, with a quick final shout, a stream rises forth and collides with the doors. He hopes it's enough to melt the door....
Spoiler
Using Elemental Blast ability, 60ft line.
Damage: (4d6+14)[27] acid damage
"Firia, are you there? I am afraid I can't see in this"

You cease hearing Firias rhythm. You leave a hole roughly the size of both your fists in the iron door.
Firia:
Spoiler
another blade hits you in the side. a Heavy blade, sending the searing pain of both cut flesh and the dull pain of cracked bone.
Spoiler
12 damage and another lost first level spell slot
Those who can see in the dark:
Spoiler
More blood erupts from Firias side for no apparent reason. You cease hearing anything once more.
Those who cannot:
Spoiler
all is dark and silent save for the beacon of light provided by the hole in the door.

Andrann firmly holds his sword. His head shifts around as he tries to spot anyone from the group - Mariel, Axile, Firia, or Ori. No use to him, however, blind and deaf he moves towards the light. He does not sprint, however, as he would not leave his companions behind - he moves just enough, and tries to see if he would run into anyone else during his movement. If so, he would nudge them towards the light, in hopes of getting them into motion towards the cave's entrance.

Axile isn't sure of what to do. He had no way of detecting the enemies, and distinguishing between friend and foe in the darkness. Of course, he could try blasting away anyways, but what about his allies? He didn't necessarily care about them, but he couldn't do everything without help.
For now, it would have to do to try and detect them. With but the simple focus of his mind, he looks at the world in a completely different view, seeing all that is magical. Surely these assailants had something magical with them!
Mariel, after looking around, sees no enemies, but she does see the cuts on Firia, so she abruptly teleports 10 feet up.

Ori breaks out of the darkness into the light and makes it to the door
she is visible to everyone.
Andraan breaks out of the darkness into the light and makes it to the door. He is visible to everyone just as Axile and Ori are.
Firia is audibly maintaining her concentration.
the light radius in the room seems to shrink a tactically insignificant amount
Mariel:
Spoiler
you teleport up 10' into the air
Axile:
Spoiler
detects that there are magical auras in the spells cone.
Firia:
Spoiler
you feel a rush of air as a blade narrowly misses you

I realize that Axile, Andrann and Ori have arrived to the door, as far as I know the magician should be flaying around here, so it is the best moment to retreat. I make my feet collide activating the magic on my anklet to teleport 10 feet towards the light and then keeping my defense at ready I walk towards the light.
Hoping that the prevailing silence, and my movement will keep the attackers unable to hear me I whisper to my familiar.
Mariel Spontaneously casts see invisibility, before moving up and towards the exit(up another 5 feet)
Spoiler
spontaneous divination+see invisibility in spell book :)
(Sacking fog cloud)

Axile remains focused, knowing that if he remains focused, he'll eventually be able to tell where the foes lay. Of course, it doesn't help them immediately, but once he can actually see the foes, he can start blasting them!
The entire party (including casker) gather by the lit entrance.
Axile:
Spoiler
detects a pretty ludicrous number of auras, (considering much of his party is also in the cone). the strongest is strong.
the spheres of darkness move further into the chamber and disappear abruptly.
Spoiler
combat effectively ends i think

"Did anyone see what attacked us? At a guess, they used dispel, and let the lack of light defeat us."

I check my back and take the healing wand that had Bill on its possession and point it at my check discharging some charges to heal me as fast as I can.
-Well whatever they did they stole some of my magic... Be careful
Spoiler
UMD (1d20+21)[23] healing (1d8+1)[8] Melodic casting allows Firia to keep the performance.
"Shall we try again, this time with mundane light, rather than magical light?"

"Just give me a few more seconds guys, and I'll hopefully be able to see where they are." Axile says as he continues to concentrate on the spell hopefully now he'll be able to see where they are.
detects two magic auras coming form the metal ball.
no other magic auras that are not attributable to his companions.
Ori speaks.
"I fear you were correct. The order must have been slain by whatever these things are. But regardless we must press on to the inner vault."

"Then let's hope that we can do better this time, with light that will be harder to get rid of. Keep alert, and be ready for invisible enemies."
Mariel has see invisibility, and a sunrod going on.
Mariel will follow Ori or Andrann if they move out.(15 feet in the air)

"I cannot see them right now. I'll keep concentrating on it for the moment." Axile says, as he maintains concentration on the ability. He looks quite focused, attempting to see the first movement in the darkness.
Spoiler
Keeping concentration for now. He'll move out behind Andrann.
Assuming Firia still looks injured Ori lays a hand on her shoulder.
Spoiler
(3d8+5)[9] healing

Andrann first gazes at the interior of the vault, and then slowly shifts to look at his companions. "Right then... as always, I will take the lead." he would tell them, ready to step back in if they were.
"Then lead on. If we run into areas of darkness, we should press forward, and get out of them."
Mariel is still flying at 15 feet up, with her shiny sunrod.

The party starts the methodical march forward into the cold, stone vault. The briefly reenter the area of silence but either reach the other side or the effect ends as they can hear again shortly.
As they proceed forward those with lowlight vision can see the other end of the vault come into the light. A great iron door inlaid with some much more reflective metal. This door is much more elaborate in its design and decoration than the first; With celestial figures, wrought from the silvery metal, holding a great central lock of some sort. It is also much smaller.
Bolts flying from both left and right halt any sort of concentration on its design, however.
One strikes Mariel in the side
Spoiler
9 damage, 1 con damage, and rope trick becomes unprepared.
Ori ducks to the left side of a right pillar for cover.

Mariel looks around, trying to see the source of the bolts
Spoiler
So move action, search(using perception), has see invis going, and if they are an enemy, and they did attack, then they have a -20 penalty to hide. If it was a trap, how did mariel trigger it, seeing as she is flying...
Also, has low light vision, so can see the entire area...
perception(1d20+16)[33]
Assuming she sees an enemy, she will cast glitterdust at it, if not, she will seek cover with her standard action
If not, she will use wall of smoke to prevent them from seeing her, and a walled off path at her height to the wall
