Map Update for those in the Room Only
Gerard when you enter the room you see the following which Daniel is already aware of.
This garret chamber is paneled in fine mahogany wainscot. The ceiling is painted black and decorated in twinkling patterns by tiny shards of crystal glued to its surface. A circular trapdoor has been painted bone white in the ceiling of the central room. Archways open off this room onto an elegant bedchamber to the west and a well-appointed study to the east.
More importantly to the east where the study is located there is a large hand floating off the ground. The hand begins to open and flex it's fingers when you enter the area Gerard. Since you don't have spellcraft you really don't know what this thing is other than a large hand. You obviously know it is some sort of magic.
Daniel you realize that this thing is now moving.
This hand doesn't seem to be fooled by your concealment.
Orsin moves up into the nook opposite of Andrea , getting a line of sight to the party frontliners before he begins to inspire courage.
I forgot to mention there is a aura of doom that you walked into it's a Will Save DC 20.
Aura of Doom:
You emanate an almost palpable aura of horror. All non-allies within this spell’s area, or that later enter the area, must make a Will save to avoid becoming shaken. A successful save suppresses the effect.
perhaps Orsin can sing a little dubstep for us.
Andrea's mind races and a trickle of sweat drops down her forehead. Reaching up to taste it, Andrea thinks and then starts chanting.
[ooc] 5' step to q,5/6 and cast Summon Monster 5 for
Salt Mephits Appearing in T-5,U-5 and one hovering over Daniel.
Daniel! Direct the Mephits to where the wizard is detected!
The Mephits will then fly up far enough to use their glitterdust ability, using the 10' spread to cover the area where he points and the surrounding areas.
He points at the spot his Detect Evil is pinging.
There! Near the ceiling!
Gerard feels nearly ill as doubts assail his optimistic demeanor, nipping at hope's heels. Was he ready for this or will this be his final mission?

RD 2 Map for those in the room
the large blob/ooze is on the map is actually the large hand. I didn't have a token for a hand. it is hovering off the ground and appears to be blocking the access.
Euphemia forces her way inside and grimaces at the enormous monstrosity.
In spite of, or perhaps owing to this, she throws up a bunch of wasps in its direction.
Euphemia you can get to be behind Gerard in your movement (U,5).
The results of your earlier spellcraft roll now that you are in the room,
You see a large hoving hand in the east room. you recognize this a a stronger version of the interposing hand...one known as a forceful hand. It is assigned to one enemy at a time and can bull rush that person, the wizard controlling it can shift his targets by using his move action. You suspect that since it did not attack Daniel initially but did move once Gerard entered the room, that the wizard has selected Gerard as his most feared opponent.You also know that it is impossible to fool and that it positions itself between the spellcaster and its target. It can be destroyed by attacks, dispelled or disintegrated. At least that is what you know about this spell.
Euphemia:
This garret chamber is paneled in fine mahogany wainscot. The ceiling is painted black and decorated in twinkling patterns by tiny shards of crystal glued to its surface. A circular trapdoor has been painted bone white in the ceiling of the central room. Archways open off this room onto an elegant bedchamber to the west and a well-appointed study to the east. You do not see the wizard but Gerard and Daniel are both facing towards the east room.
You also sense it is going to get exceptionally ugly in a few short moments. There was nothing to stop you from taking your vomit action.
Everyone connected to the message spell gets a dreadful reply once Euphemia enters the room. Yikes!
"Gerard, the hand is a spell!"She warns.
RD 2: Sandor
The cloaked wizard reappears hovering roughly 20 off the ground he lets out a frosty cone of cone bursts forward in cone shape, aiming downward.
The 60 foot cone is outlined in pink on the map, it hits everyone but Andrea.
Finally with the Wizard in sight , Daniel attacks.
You will fall
The forceful Hand:
The hand will try to bull rush Gerard,
The hand pushes Gerard back into Euphemia,
Phem, you alright?
Furious that Euphemia could have been harmed, Gerard whirls drawing and releasing two daggers at the wizard.
Catch, biatch...
Sorry, -2 for that doom thing.
Three small winged beings pop into existence over people's heads.Salt Mephits <-Link at Daniel's shouted instructions, they turn their beady eyes towards the floating mage and blow raspberries at him, sending a rain of glittering motes falling down on his head.
Glitterdust They then zip forwards surround him On ends up in T,9. one in U,10 and the other in V,9 will start AoOing when/if he starts casting.
Euphemia doesn't reply to Gerard so much as shiver and whimper for fear of Frank's well-being. The rogue may be able to feel the practically solid Franksicle in the with's bodice.
Daniel's arrows hit the wizard.
Gerard your first dagger seems to hit the wizard but he takes no damage from it.

Euphemia's whimpers crescendo to a sob.
"Disarm yourselves and surrender. Your paladin friend chose to put you all in harms way, surrender and live."
It doesn't really seem like Euphemia's aware of her surroundings right now, let alone listening to her best friend's killer.
[ooc]Just waiting for Orsin.
Immediate action, saving finale, ends performance.
Orsin uses a move action to resume IC and his standard action to attempt to dispel the hand with a scroll.

Andrea moves to T-5 and clenches her hand at the floating wizard.Break.
Make your DC 20 Will save as your spell reflects and turns back on you.
You take half damage and are fatigued. You walked into an aura of doom also, I need a second Will Save.
Daniel sees the injuries to his friends but is also aware he harmed the wizard.
How many more can you take wizard? You cannot stop us all before you fall!
