Earth elementals! They have been most likely summoned! This one on the second floor is not as strong as the one below since it can't burrow!
Being stuck inbetween everyone, Andrea reaches out and gives Aurelio a Bit of Luck (Assuming Gerard does his patented acrobatics to the rear[/ooc]
What is wrong with this city?!
I'm guessing the last attack does not hit, in which case 102 damage. If it does, 132 damage.
The flury of attacks kills destroys the earth elemental.
Oh my goodness! He is as magnificent as Daniel! Oh, two up and coming scions of noble families, how can I ever choose who to be the mistress of?
***Why not have both?***
Gerard, concerned for Phem passes Andrea and leaps... nearly flying down the stairs to land past the creature, risking harm as he does.
Euphemia's jaw drops.
There is loud crashing sound coming form the door to the north. Right next to you Gerard.
*Gerard I did not move you on the map yet. Since I'm posting late you can keep your current action or head where you heard the crashing.
Gerard, get downstairs, I'll take that door!

RD 1: Yellow EE
The bulky creature attempts to smash the nimble acrobat.

Gerard you notice the EE has a vague resemblance to a hellknight. The rogue is too fast for the powerful blow.
RD 1: Red Elemental #2
The wall between the room that Aurelio and the northern room comes tumbling down as a a much larger elemental bashes and opening.
What manner of sorcery is this?! This looks like... like a Hellknight!
Aurelio you notice that the large EE that battered the wall down vaguely resembles a hellknight.

Gerard considers his options and his experience with creatures... elemental. But, perhaps there is still human in there.
Quickly drawing his human bane dagger, he goes to work.

In Round 2, Orsin moves to H4 to flank with Gerard, eating the attack of opportunity as he moves, if need be.
Still singing his desperate, war-like aria, he strikes with his longsword.
"Gerard! Let's take this thing down!"
AOO on Orsin
;
The creature is too slow.
Orsin follows up with his attack and he is able to bring it down.
The large EE will attack Aurelio
Full round attack:

It isn't much, but Euphemia closes in on Gerard and gifts him with the Encapsulator's guidance.
Aurelio sees the larger elemental crash through the wall.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!
He repeats his earlier feat and slams hard into the larger elemental with his shield, hacking with blade as drives into it.
Aurelio's attack crushes the EE and it disappears to its plane when it is destroyed.
Since these have no doubt been summoned, that is a strong clue that the Signifier is probably here because I remember John talking about Signifiers being spellcasters. We need to keep searching. Andrea points to the door at L-15 for Aurelio to open[/b]
"Historically, spellcasters haven't been our biggest fans. Nor we their's, for that matter." Orsin's words get caught in his throat as he thinks back to the losses the Children have sustained since he joined them. "Just...just everyone be on guard."
But, the smaller ones looked like Hellknights... some sort of meld magic? This just gets better and better...
Thanks for the positioning Orsin, unfortunately when an enemy is all one... substance like that, it's difficult to discern their vital areas if they even have any.
Gerard comforts Phem with an arm snaking around her waist and resting there for a moment.
Aurelio, Andrea and Phem there is a cracking sound coming from all around you as a field of rubbery black tentacles to appear, burrowing up from the floor and reaching for you.
This spell causes a field of rubbery black tentacles appears, burrowing up from the floor and reaching for any creature in the area.
Every creature within the area of the spell is the target of a combat maneuver check made to grapple each round at the beginning of your turn, including the round that black tentacles is cast. Creatures that enter the area of effect are also automatically attacked. The tentacles do not provoke attacks of opportunity. When determining the tentacles' CMB, the tentacles use your caster level as their base attack bonus and receive a +4 bonus due to their Strength and a +1 size bonus. Roll only once for the entire spell effect each round and apply the result to all creatures in the area of effect.
If the tentacles succeed in grappling a foe, that foe takes 1d6+4 points of damage and gains the grappled condition. Grappled opponents cannot move without first breaking the grapple. All other movement is prohibited unless the creature breaks the grapple first. The black tentacles spell receives a +5 bonus on grapple checks made against opponents it is already grappling, but cannot move foes or pin foes. Each round that black tentacles succeeds on a grapple check, it deals an additional 1d6+4 points of damage. The CMD of black tentacles, for the purposes of escaping the grapple, is equal to 10 + its CMB.
The tentacles created by this spell cannot be damaged, but they can be dispelled as normal. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the tentacles last.
Andrea CMD 20
Aurelio 36
Phem 17
Andrea and Phem are caught in the tentacles as they wrap around the your body.
As Gerard thanks Orsin and looks up the stairs towards his love he is horrified to see the area above him erupt with rubbery black tentacles that seems that slither around Phem's delicate body. The house feels like it is swaying and it is noticeably cooler within.
Aurelio groans at the tentacles trying to grasp him.
Devils, elementals, tentacle traps. I should have stayed in Lastwall. What I wouldn't give for a good orc berserker charging me right now.
He pushes his way through the tentacles and temporarily ignores the tentacles grabbing his compatriots after a few swipes of his knife show that the can't be cut towards the last door on the second floor.
Come out, come out wherever you are!
"They're using my own spell against me, the bastards." Euphemia shouts, biting at the tentacles uselessly.
Apparently the En-capsulator doesn't have an exclusive...
Gerard you did not hearing anything from where you are located, the battle you were in or during the surrounding conversations. Although you don't think the caster is on the first floor with your and Orsin.

Andrea attempts to cast Liberating Command
The spell succeds and then she attempts to escape
She then moves down the stairs to G-2
I'll dispel the magic! hold on!
Andrea, why's this house so damned cold?!
Andrea tries to think about what might be happening
Aurelio shouts down to Gerard, Perhaps you'd prefer the devil arsonist show up again?
Prefer an enemy I can see and touch is all.
"Andrea, wait a moment! Weaker magic might save us yet!"
Orsin waits for the right moment, just before Euphemia might make another attempt at escaping. Calling out to the witch, he invokes the power of his own liberating command.
"Liberate!"
Andrea suddenly thinks. If that tentacle spell was cast mostly upstairs, she must be as well. No doubt invisible.
As Aurelio touches the door (L,15) there is a eerie feeling that effects him, Andrea and Phem.
