Ash

Seeing the less martial members of the team move in, Ash gives an 'after you' motion to Gor'thok. Then he fades from sight.

Lesdock

Testing the balance of his new knives, the Thri-Kreen had been performing what was for him a simple dexterity exercise but others tended to see as a juggling show for their entertainment. A small smirk crosses his face as he reflects on that possibility; as if he would every use his skills for the pleasure of others. Well, strictly speaking, some of his employers probably took pleasure in the deaths of some of the beasts he'd hunted, but no more than he had hunting them down. Seeing those who had gotten there before him Well, this is a motley crew to go into a place like what I've heard this is. But as long as they don't get between my blades and things that need to die, we should do alright.

Lesdock put his daggers away as the brief match begins and appreciates the sport, particularly the end.

Fine match. I'm late. My mistake. Do we have a plan? Or shall we just get down to it? This last is said as he pulls the blindfold over his eyes with one of his upper hands while cracking the knuckles of his lower hands.

Nelisar

"I do not remember asking YOU thri-kreen." says nelisar with a deathly voice. nelisar hates thri-kreens.

Nelisar steps through the portal like others before him, preparing his bow in hands, arrows in reach, and singling to tofer to follow.

Lesdock

Well, hopefully there's a plan and I just missed it. If not, we'll probably figure it out after the first thing attacks us.

Having understood his tone, Lesdock would have preferred that the catfolk and his pet walked in front of him but knew that that same tone made it unlikely. Trusting to his blindfold and his reaction time, Lesdock follows the minotaur, drawing a dagger in each hand as he crosses the threshold.

As you appear on the other side of the portal a number of things become immediately apparent.
  • It is completely dark. Even your ebon eyes cannot pierce the murky gloom.
  • You are underwater.
  • The water is boiling hot.
  • There is a crushing pressure pushing in at you from all sides, as if the water itself was trying to squeeze the very life out of you.

The inky darkness is thick and cloying. Not even the magical light of your gear pierces it.

The tiger like everyone else is surrounded by inky blackness and cannot see you. He's acting on his own (instinct), which in this case is panicking and trying to swim to the surface

Mr. Stabby swims 15ft. forward attempting to listen for anything unusual. (hiding and moving silently with darkstalker of course)

Tofer has the training to follow me in places he normally wont. (unless otherwise ordered.)

By noting him I meant padding on him or something. not all signs are visual.

Three merely sighs inwardly, already having the need to exert himself. He maintains his position and casts a spell.

Lesdock

Assuming as much of the Child of Shadows stance ((concealment; 20% miss chance while moving)) as possible while swimming, Lesdock begins swimming slightly down and (arbitrarily) east, looking sensing for some sort of tunnel that may lead to an air supply.

Both you and Tofer feel a pressure wave of water wash over you before a massive force impacts into your bodies. Something sinuous, stoney, slimey and awful all at the same time tries to snake around you.

Mr Stabby slinks his little rat form through the water, and is unmolested as he heads off to the side.

Lesdok feels the same pressure wave glide over him momentarily unbalancing his stance. The slap of the massive appendage that strikes him is even more unbalancing, but strong magics allow him to slip out the thing's grasp before it gets a brutal choke hold on him.

Ash

Ash begins swimming, attempting to position himself best so that he'll be able to catch any assailants in his eldritch cone and lets loose a blast. He'll target the large creature that two of the creatures near him swam into (and exclude them from the AoE) or (priority) another creature, if it appears in his voidsense and seems to be attacking one of the blank spots in the void he's mentally tagged as 'allies'.

Unseen by most Ash blebs through the shadows before releasing a giant gout of hellfire. Unfortunately the blast goes unnoticed by all who aren't directly affected by it.
