"No," Bazsil says, "but I can try to blamphf us right passed the door. It's risky, but also might be fun."
"We're back on the ground floor... I think we might be going the wrong direction. Perhaps we should dimension door back up, but let them think we're still down here somewhere. Maybe leave a rope trick behind for them to puzzle out."
Faolan agrees with Krowe, "Let's head up, not down. Beyond the wall of stone plug." he grins.
Bazsil agrees and will cast Dimension Door to bypass and move on.
”No reason not to kill these two hobgobs. They are just going to be in the way later, or someone else’s problem….” Bazsil takes aim at the split pair.

Half of Bazsil's arrows hit as you surprise the munitions hobgoblins.
You hear alarms ringing from your new position, echoing through the citadel. The two hobgoblins at the bottom of the stairs throw bombs at Bazsil and Bor.
The other two round the corner from above. "They're here!"
You hear the flapping of stone wings.

Bor tosses his spear at the hobgoblins as they emerge. "That's right. We are."

Krowe summons a new and powerful ally just suited to deal with cold throwing alchemists.
A towering, insectile monstrosity appears straight from the frozen level of hell. It looks at the alchemists and their bombs with frozen, multifaceted eyes, then hurls back a cone of cold before charging in!
|
|
Bor and Bazsil can't seem to connect their blows, the grenadiers have hardened their skin against explosions and prove tougher to damage than you would expect. Even Faolan struggles, eventually bringing one of them down.
The two up the stairs dodge the worst of the cold breath and fall back as the devil moves towards them. A ruby winged gargoyle steps around the corner, summoned by the lookouts when you snuck by them the first time no doubt.
The gargoyle stands ready to attack the ice devil while the bombers throw more bombs at Krowe. Seeing the cold ones have done no damage, they switch to fire.

Bor grips his spear tightly. "Focus on the bombers!" He tosses the spear at them try try and skewer them to the wall.

”Argh!!” Krowe pretends the fire hurt.
Krowe then hastes the party along with the devil.
Meanwhile, the devil takes his due on the gargoyle.

Their best weapons neutralized, the sappers are forced to use their swords, with which they are woefully untrained. The gargoyle is no match for the devil and you soon overwhelm the defenders.
You hear cries through the tower, the alarm is raised and you are on a timer. The wall behind you will slow most of the troops down and you've killed a room of powerful spellcasters already.
You make your way through the double doors you passed earlier. A grand, recessed dueling ring dominates this circular chamber. Skirting the ring is a five-foot path cordoned off from the ring via a flexible rope secured to several three-foot-tall posts. Six dead humans wearing shoddy equipment lie scattered around the ring. This seems to be a training room and the humans were only recently killed, no doubt as a result of the alarm being raised.
There are 3 doors recessed into one wall, a set of double doors on the opposite wall, and stairs leading up.
"Agreed!" Faolan bellows. He flies up the stairwell!
Bazsil takes a moment to heal.

"Yeah, let's move on," Bazsil agrees with the plan.

Bor uses the wand as well and doesn't waste much time since they are in a hurry.

You move across the room and quickly up the stairs. Jet-black spines of crystal jut down from the vaulted ceiling of this massive chamber, massive bolts of blue, green, and purple lightning arcing between them. Ancient runes and diagrams trace across the room’s floor and walls, with secondary additions made in glistening silver.
"Let's refresh that spell Faolan."
Krowe then turns to examine the room, casting detect magic first, then trying to decipher the runes and diagrams.

Bor quickly reaches out. "Gather hands. I'll make us a bit more resistant to that Electricity."

Krowe detects magic on the room and immediately goes permanently colorblind. He is able to determine the nature of the room and how to deal with it. This is a battery for the transposition engine Zanathura turned the Citadel into.
The only way to discharge the massive amount of magical energy collected here is for a living creature to physically mar one of the metallic diagrams etched into the floor or walls, using her body as a conduit. Creatures bound by magic—such as summoned creatures, eidolons, and phantoms—and nonliving creatures (such as constructs and undead) can’t be used as a conduit to discharge the gathered energy. Only a living, breathing creature can break this arcane circuit. Once the circuit is broken, the discharging energy strikes all creatures in the room.
Faolan says, first, "Thanks for the stoneskin. It always itches a little when first applied, but it's lovely!"
Then he offers, "I'll open it."

You rush out of the room as Faolan prepares himself. All of the hair on his body stands on end as he approaches the arcane battery. Once you are clear, he strikes on of the etchings with his shield, breaking the flow of power. It unleashes in a strike like none you've felt before, washing over you in one powerful wave.
You hum disappears as the energy dissipates. The question remains, at least 3 beings where in the training room when you began your assault. They weren't up here, so where did they go?
Reflex
Bazsil was clearly dreaming when the charge was off and was completely unprepared for the expected blast. He will look around while healing up.

”Aren’t we missing some bad guys?”
Perception
He will also look at the arcane battery and try to figure out how to really, seriously disable it so that it can’t easily be recharged or fixed.

Faolan takes a hit off the wand.
Faolan pounds his shield, "Let's head back down then!"
If they group agrees, he'll go to the next door and wrench it open!
Bazsil will follow the rambunctious Faolan and hopes for the best.
The first door we come across. If we have a choice, the first single door, if we still have a choice, the one on the left. :)
Faolan isn't worried. If we have to turn this off again, he's willing to take the risk.
Bazsil agrees with the thought. With no map, mental or otherwise to draw upon, the more chaos the better.
