Sam will cast Long Arms, Mirror Image, Shield on himself and then Haste on everyone, in that order and will cast Invis first if that has expired and then D-Door to the area I drew on the map, I think it vanished behind the black out so let me know if you don't see a crappy oval

Dalamus will cast greater invisibility before entering.
Epik turns to Nowzai, "Do you have any way of dispelling this ice lattice?"
Nowzai tries to identify the lattice, if it is a magical effect. "Tlanextic, would you please bore us a hole through yon ice wall?"
The couatl will put his scorching rays to good use.
The lattice is a source of evocation, necromancy and evil. Nowzai notes that it is slowly regrowing where broken. It's not like anything he has ever seen.

I am carrying two flasks of lamp oil, and I'm happy to set some stuff on fire!
If we decide to just jump in, I'd like to make sure we have a way to jump out if stuff gets nasty. Outside of that, if it's been more than a few hours since we faced down the angry crowds I will recast longstrider, draw my bow and be ready to attack!
The plan is to Dimensional door out, after we get what we came for.
guarding Nowzai back as we move through the lattice.
The party readies up spells and Sam grabs everyone and casts the dimension door.
With a slight sense of vertigo, you find yourselves in a tight room with an odd sight. A male half-elf lies face down on a wooden torture rack in the middle of this windowless fifteen-foot-square, fifteen-foot-high room. Magical light from an unseen source above the rafters paints the walls and floor in dark shadows. The wooden rack is shaped like an “X” with iron manacles binding the half-elf’s wrists and ankles. The half-elf’s back is striped with crimson lacerations. Standing next to the prisoner is a young woman in black garb with half her face painted black, the other half painted white. She holds a dripping blade near the half-elf’s throat with one gloved hand and the handle of a silvery whip in the other. Something about her stance suggests a catlike readiness, and she smiles triumphantly.
Tlanextic obliges, burning a path and a hole through the wall of ice to the south and a door beyond. Entering through that door, you find another hallway littered with the strange ice-air columns and 6 armed alien bodies.
The eastern hallway ends in rubble and the south end of the corridor ends in a staircase choked in ice and rubble. Turning east, six doors line the north and south walls of the passageway, three to a side. The hall itself ends at a tangled lattice of icy strands that flicker and writhe with cold blue tendrils of light.
A set of double iron doors, covered in runes and strange depictions of the 6-armed humanoids working great magic stand to the west.
"We probably do not have much time before these lattices regenerate. Let us move swiftly. Those double doors?"
Nowzai will study the runes, trying to make sense of the depictions. He will also detect magic.
Dalamus will attempt to sneak attack her, since he is invisible

Epik will heal himself and will then lead the way through the double doors and into the space beyond. He then moves to the western double doors. He pauses to allow Nowzai time to study the runes.
Dalamus and Sam explode through the dimension door, quickly assessing the situation and without hesitation strike down the woman torturing Fario, killing her instantly when Sam's electricity courses through her body. Nemoris raises his bow and then blinks once in awe.
It is only then that you recognize the woman as Jil, the some time Last Laugh operative who has watched you before.
Squeezing past the two adjacent ice coffins, Epik opens the double doors to the west pushing them open easily. As he does so, he notices the sole momument in the room, a 12 foot ice-rimed iron statue of an armored 6-armed figure, slowly turn and begin to move forward with heavy footfalls.
Epik moves to power attack the golem.
Quietly Sam says, "Fellian, look to your friend quickly and quietly, we might not be noticed yet.
Sam will search Jil and then making sure she is dead and not just unconscious, stuff her into a bag of holding. He looks around and shrugs, "Maybe Jenya can ask her some questions from the grave"

Nowzai's eyes furrow, "An iron golem, though covered in ice. It will be difficult to damage without adamantine. Beware its poison gas! I will try to fend it off."
He casts, placing a wind wall directly between the golem and Epik.
"Yes, let's grab her. I am going to want to watch these operatives to see where they go from here. It is my time to do the watching. When you came in through the mist, did you find another way out of this place, aside from the front entrance?"
Dalamus will cast Dimension Door and leave when the others go through Sam's portal.
Well done! Anything else we need to accomplish here? Is Fario ok?
The two warriors move in immediately to attack, adamantine weapons at they ready, however the cold weather numbs their hands and they fail to swing hard enough to damage the nearly unmoving golem. Nowzai lays a wall of wind between his allies and the construct.
As expected, the golem belches out a green gas that immediately hits the wall and gets dispersed up and away.
Fellian channels a burst of healing energy causing Fario to grown slightly and open his eyes. Sam gathers up the fried Last Laugh lieutenant and her gear and the team teleports back out as quickly as they came in.
Epik will full round attack the golem with his adamantine great sword.

;
Unable to do much of anything against the golem, Tlanextic watches the corridors north and east.
Nowzai digs out a wand from his satchel and sends an arrow of acidic goo at the golem.

round 2
i will take a step back and pull out the heavy flail to attack golem. the heavy flail is made of adamantine
heavy flail is in the bag of holding. can i draw the weapon and attack in round 2? if i can vital strike

Epik's blows ring harmlessly against the iron creature, but Magma is able to withdraw and smash the beast with a crushing blow, denting it easily. Nowzai follows up with s spell that burns a hole into its chest.
The golem swings all of its right arms at once crumpling the paladin's left side and follows up with its left arms, delivering blows that show no sign of hesitation or lack of follow through.

Epik withdraws out of the room. "Run Magma! It's too powerful!"
elder go i will be rear guard
"Hold the line, Magma, while Epik heals himself. Put those adamantine weapons to good use!" Nowzai says, stepping back but discharging the wand again.

Nowzai's acid continues to burn a hole and he adds another one as Epik wthdraws to heal. Magma takes a pair of ineffectual swipes and the golem retaliates with devastating blows.

Fellian is far more interested in healing Fario and says as much, "Worry about that woman later, my cousin found something. Let's return to Meerthan at the bathhouse ... literally across the street and figure out what it is."
Sam nods at Fellian, "Of course, we need to see to your friend, lets move"
round 4

Epik heals himself and then moves in to power attack the golem.

Nowzai winces as Magma is slammed hard and then cannot connect with his counterattack. He fires his wand again, continuing the acidic corrosion.
Epik and Magma charge back ineffectually, Epik healing himself and receiving aid from Tlanextic. Nowzai continues to melt holes in the golem.
The golem continues to thrash Magma.
Nowzai lets the acid work as he changes up and lobs a humming orb at the golem.
;
Dalamus begrudgingly agrees to head back to the bathhouse "Ok, but if Fario didn't actually learn anything, all we have done was anger them and prolong the inevitable."
