Tyrrol shrugs, and attempts to crush the skull of the lizard-thing trying to chew on his leg...
Lecian probably can't get to the other side of Tyrrol because he's in the throat between the two rooms, but he can get to the far side of Lothan easily .
Tyrrol smashes the lizard's skull into a crunchy red-gray paste.
Seeing Tyrrol obliterate the lizard, he turns and fires on the shadow creature.
Lecian slips away from the shadow demon's claws. It glances quickly around for a target and settles on Mordecai. It moves in quickly snapping jaws and slashing claws.
...
...
...
Mordecai shows naught but irritation at the raking claws of the demon, and his spiritual scythe continues to attack the creature.
He steps from the creature, and sends his morningstar to the attack, carried on spectral hands not his own.
Mordecai's scythe slashes beneath the leaping demon. His morning star lands on the monster's thigh.
Lecian fires magic missiles at the shadow, then draws a potion.

The missiles rip holes in the demon's apparently insubstantial flesh.
Shaking reptile off his leg, Tyrrol turns around, and goes after the thing attacking the others.
Hoping he can actually hit the thing this time, Lothan concentrates and fires again.
Tyrrol miss chance 1-50
Tyrrol's mace whips through shadow and insubstantial flesh and the demon seems to cringe with pain. Lothan's first arrow strikes empty shadows, but his second hits the demon's head. It staggers back and with a snap of its murky wings flees at unmatchable speed down the passage to the northwest.

To the left a gap in the wall leads to a much larger chamber with water-reflected light dancing on the walls.
wand of produce flame (24 charges), masterwork leather armor, +1 spear, masterwork dagger, two silver bracelets worth 50 gp each, silver ring
worth 100 gp
Tyrrol takes a swing at the creature as it flees.
Not wanting to let it get away, he immediately gives chase!
As Tyrrol takes off after the shadow beast, Lothan just shakes his head, "Looks like we're going after it, fellas," he says as he takes off after the creature as well.
Tyrrol's last second swing catches it in the back as it whirls to leave. It collapses into strands of darkness.
Lecian moves into G7.
Afterglow from some low level buffs this guy put on himself. Otherwise, nothing aside from the items.
The southern chamber holds a dead druid and lizard. There's a dead tentacle dog on the table. Its body has been dissected and various tissues show damage from a possibly acidic source.
wand of produce flame (24 charges), masterwork leather armor, +1 spear, masterwork dagger, two silver bracelets worth 50 gp each, silver ring
worth 100 gp
Tyrrol looks over the items with minimal interest.
"Useful trinkets, I suppose, but trinkets nonetheless. Where is the skymetal? We need to keep moving."
Mordecai, seeming to notice the wounds he has taken for the first time, stopping to cast a spell upon himself before asking belatedly, "Do any others suffer injury and require healing?"
Afterwards, looking at the items that Lecian and himself have identified, Mordecai will scoop up the items, except for the leather armor, and look to Lecian, "Can you make use of this wand? If not, we'll sell it and divide it's value later, along with the rest of this swag."
"The armor is masterwork, but I don't feel like lugging it out of here. If someone of stronger stuff than myself wishes to, that would be excellent."
Mordecai will holster his morningstar and hold the magical spear in one hand as they proceed.
That's pretty much it for this area. I suppose you are all going back to G6 and marching down the northeast passage?
"I'll take it, Mordecai. No prob," he tells him as he takes the armor and stows it before preparing to continue on. "Alright, let's move." Lothan then leads the way down the northeast passage.
Lothan moves a dozen paces along the passage and it opens into a larger room. A number of hammocks hang from the walls and ceiling. Two drow guards are just strapping on their sword belts.
Initiative
To the left a gap in the wall leads to a much larger chamber with water-reflected light dancing on the walls.
Mordecai sees the two drow and mutters, "More of these diseased elves. Pale Lady take you!" as he channels negative energy to bring them harm.
Tyrrol charges in, and takes a swing at the closest Elf!
"Arglwydd y Times Diwedd wedi dyfarnu ei bod yn eich amser i farw!"
The two elves blanch under Mordecai's malevolent power.
Lothan draws an arrow and fires.
"No, I cant use the wand."

Lecian fires at the remaining elf.

Damage:
Lecian's bolt flies wide. Lothan's arrow pierces the chest of the second dark elf and he falls to the floor.
These guys are equipped much like their friends in the first cavern chamber. There's about a dozen hammocks in here and the same number of small chests. Two are open and contain mundane personal items
From the larger cavern to the southwest comes a cry, "Hjhd Hkfdasl!" You can easily spot the source of the cry. It's an armored dark elven woman standing on the central platform. A number of other dark elves look in the direction she's pointing (that's at you), and scurry into action.
"Let them come to us, that may strike them down as they enter this chamber one by one." Mordecai says.
"Yeah, that's a good idea. And the one screaming at us has a crush on Tyrrol, I think. I swear, it's always the muscley guys. Go figure." he jokes, grinning wryly. "But it'll have to wait." Lothan then draws another arrow, "Get ready, fellas, this is gonna get ugly."
Tyrrol pulls out his stopwatch, clicks it open, and briefly glances at it.
"Mae'n amser ar gyfer eu edafedd i gael eu torri. Gadewch i ni orffen hyn!"
Carefully putting away his watch, he lifts his flail, and prepares to use it...
Lecian waits here with the others.
The dark elves are scattered along the walkways over the water. The woman who spotted you is at G9D. She barks commandingly and the elves start to converge on her location. Two of them start loading their crossbows. A few seconds later the light dims in the cavern when darkness blots out the light coming in through the opening.
In the seconds before darkness falls you make out the following features in the cave:
Several thick, rocky natural pillars rise up in this high sea cave. The water filling the lower portion of the enormous cavern sloshes and surges with the tide, and a five-foot-wide rocky beach lines the northeastern face of the pool. The cave ceiling soars to a height of eighty feet. To the south, several wooden platforms attached to the rock pillars are further supported by wooden pilings—the structure looks somewhat treacherous. The sound of rushing, falling water echoes through the chamber.
One entrance (south wall) to this sea cave opens directly to the ocean.
A gap of nearly 2 feet exists between the top of the entrance and the ocean’s surface. The dotted lines on the map show the extent of the southern entrance.
The wooden platforms and rope-and-plank bridges built up throughout the chamber are cobbled together from a varied selection of driftwood, heavy timbers and smooth planking.
****
Range to G9D is 35-50 feet, but the pool of water may prevent direct travel. The alternate route would be along the beach to the south, then across the low bridge from G9A to G9B. In any event the elves seem in no hurry to charge.
Tyrrol casts a spell , and prepares to move forward, once the others are ready...
Lecian grabs and drinks a vial of Shield of Faith.
"Hold the doorway, make them come to us, do not let them dictate our actions." Mordecai says quietly.
He is unsure if it will have any effect on the darkness they have generated, but he calls forth light on Tyrrol's pocketwatch.
Continued shouting from the drow cave. The falling water makes it hard to discern words.
Your various light effects seem unaffected by the darkness, at least here in your cave. Out in the cave an occasional stripe of light reflected or refracted from the water crosses the ceiling and walls.

Lothan grabs a vial from within his pack and drinks it.
"Heads up, fellas! They've got crossbows! And we got some of them dark dwellers moving boxes to the front of that platform! Cover most likely. If we're gonna do something, we better do it in a hurry!"
Expiration of round 0. Drow to do three more rounds of fort building unless interrupted.

Round 1.
The drow continue to move about in the shadows of the large cave.
Lecian pulls out a scroll of Fox's Cunning and activates it.
Fox's Cunning: 30 rounds
Tyrrol, Mordecai for round 1?
"I suppose we are going to have to fight them on their terms, instead of wait them out." Mordecai says, some of Tyrrol's fatalism rubbing off on him.
He calls up another scythe of dark energy, and directs it to attack the nearest dark elf, stepping into the room, shield raised.

Mordecai steps into the larger cavern. His spectral scythe flashes toward an elf and draws blood, but the elf seems unhindered. The cleric's movement draws the fire of two elves.
Crossbow ....
Crossbow ....
Crit confirm ....
And Mordecai please make a DC 13 Fort save.
Mordecai's torch illuminates the the walls around him and allows the shadowy figures of black elves to be seen crouching behind the chests and running along the bridge toward area B, .
