Ow, ow, ow.
Marzela channels to heal.
"Ouch! I never thought that I would say this but remove this gold from me!"
When everyone is ready to continue Jaed will lead to the end of the bridge while looking for traps.

Lily winces sympathetically as the explosion of molten metal washes over her friends, then furrows her brow and says, "Is that actually pure gold? If it cools, should we pack it up and take it with us?"
Millsy leaps out of the way and completely avoids the molten explosion. [ooc] evasion[/dice] She purrs as Marzela channels which brings her back to full health and sauntera back to Finnrick rubbing up against everyones legs as she makes her way... Even Carrakas.
Looks like your fighting prowess has impressed my girl here Finnrick says to Carrakas as he sheaths his scimitar. Then to Lilly "see I told you I wouldn't let that creature befoul us" he laughs and steps forward to look at the creature they just put down.
Distracted by the sudden appearance of gold, Carrakas completely fails to avoid the molten metal. Despite his natural resistance to such things , he still takes quite a burn. Marzela's healing helps quite a bit, but he is still limping slightly.
He gives a little smile at Millsy and a nod to Finnrick. "Glad she's warming up - she's quite a fighter herself"
The other side of the bridge does not appear trapped. You can see a little further down the road the path splits in three other directions. The intersection is a large, 50 square foot area outlined by a small channel that seems to be free of gold.
I imagine we are trying to get to the center of this place, so we should take whatever path seem to lead us in that direction. Does that sound right to everyone?
"Agree. I don't want to be around when the flooding starts."
The other side of the bridge does not appear trapped. You can see a little further down the road the path splits in three other directions. The intersection is a large, 50 square foot area outlined by a small channel that seems to be free of gold.
"Thanks, Finnick," says Lily with a short laugh. "I appreciate the consideration."
But if we're in a hurry we may not want to take the time for that.
"I could always scout from above if you all would like, but Jaed and Marzela's plan sounds good"
The group walks north to the first intersection, Jaed searching for traps as they go. The only sound is the faint burbling of the slowly flowing golden river. The street seem remarkably intact, though the same can not be said of the ruins of former buildings lining it. Anything organic is long gone, leaving only gold covered stone ranging in height from only a few blocks to a little over head level. Everything sparkles and reflects from the Jaed's magically lit . It's a rather odd combination.
As Jaed steps into the first intersection, a large bonfire suddenly appears in the center of the square. Quickly a face made of flames appears along with two arms. A cruel smile appears before it begins to move its mouth, speaking in a popping, crackling language that sounds much like a log burning. "ပိုများသောကစားစရာအမှုအရာ? ယနေ့တွင်ကောင်းသောနေ့ဖြစ်၏။"
"Fire elemental!" says Lily. "Um... use cold if you have it?"
She intones a strange spell and a ghastly shadow seems to pass in front of her veiled face. For a moment it seems like the parts of her face under the veil are skeletal.
Heading Lily's advivce Finnrick hurls a snowball at the bonfire.
Millsy holds, she doesn't want to get burned again
Marzela can't think of anything else to do, so she casts Create Water and dumps 10 gallons of water right on top of it.
"I suppose no running away from this one either, big guy?" Jaed looks back at Carrakas over his shoulder. "Anyone in the mood for a barbecue?" the rogue asks before charging in the direction of the creature.
Lily gives the create a dark glare. He shivers as the fate turns its back on him, though the shiver does manage to jerk the creature out of the way of first Finnrick's snowball and then a suddenly appearing torrent of water from the sky. He cackles gleefully as Jaed charges in and swipes at it. The blow lands, but the elemental doesn't even seem phased by it.
"သငျသညျအကြှနျုပျကိုငှါလာသလော ဘယ်လိုကြင်နာ" Gleefully it attempts to embrace Jaed in a warm hug, only to have the rogue just barely dodge out of the way. He frowns. "သင်တို့သည်အဘယ်ကြောင့်အဘယ်သူမျှမပါသေးကိုင်ထား"
Marzela dumps ten gallons of water on it again.
Reflex save at DC 13 to negate
Carrakas laughs at Jaed's comments. "What sort of tiefling would I be if a little fire scared me off?" Earth swirls around Carrakas again, and he shoots forward toward the fiery creature.
"Guys, any other ideas to deal with this thing apart from throwing water at it?"
This time Jaed uses both of his swords during his attack.
No, sorry... Lily said cold would work, but I don't have any cold spells.
TAC
He hurls another snowball at the creature
"That's about it," says Lily. "I don't think anyone has banishing magic."
Marzela once again summons water over the elemental's head. Once again it easily side steps the unexpected torrent, using the same movement to nimbly dodge both Carrakas' attack and Finnrick's snowball. Anticipating the action, Jaed using the movement to try to swing at the creature with his swords, but the living fire sees the blows coming and dodges out of the way at the last moment. "ဒါကပျော်စရာဂိမ်းဖြစ်ပါတယ်။ ယခုမူကားငါ၏အလှည့်ဖြစ်ပါတယ်။"
He tries once again to hit Jaed with his fiery body.
,
The first blow hits, starting to catch the rogue's cloak on fire. In his attempt to put it out, Jaed manages to dodge the second slam though.
Marzela dumps ten gallons of water on it again.
(Reflex save at DC 13 to negate.)
Upset at his ineffectiveness begins to cast a spell.
"Ouch! I'm starting to hate this thing," the rogue thinks as he puts off the fire in his cloak.
"Ok, let's then try to banish it using traditional methods," Jaed replies to Lily.
"This thing is really starting to piss me off..." Carrakas growls, as he takes another ineffective swing with his earthen blade at the blazing beast.
Lily speaks another set of grating, twisted words and a dark halo envelops her hand, like one that she used before against the priests back in the false temple. This time, though, she twists her hand and the strange energy leaps from her fist to the elemental.
The elemental continues to dance circles around Marzela's bucket water drops, try as she might to surprise him. Carrakas seems to suffer similar bad luck as he's unable to hit the create at all either. Jaed also manages to get one strike in, but the only response seems to be a crackling laugh from the creature. Finally Lily steps in as her black energy launches itself at her foe, stopping his laughter as it punches him in the gut. "အလှည့်စောင့်ဆိုင်း"
He seems a little unsteady on his feet, lurching once again at Jaed only for the rogue to jump to one side and avoid it.
"I should have moved closer," Finnrick thinks to himself as a frost elemental appears next to Jaed. The creature takes a 5 foot glide and slams into the fire elemental
"င့်ဆိုင်းလှည့်မ်းဖြစ်ပါတ" The Ice elemental emits a cry as it strikes its hated foe.
+ DC12 Fort save or staggered for 1 round.
"I really should learn these languages,"Finnrick adds as he pulls out and loads his "trusty" sling.

Marzela gives up on trying to drench the thing, and steps up behind Jaed to heal him.
Jaed shivers when he gets healed. "Thanks, Marcela, that felt good." He then yells to Carrakas, "Big guy, I'll distract this thing so try to hit it hard," turns to face the elemental and starts waving at it. "Am I too fast for you? Try to get me!"
Carrakas gathers his power to him once more and, when Jaed distracts the elemental, swings his hammer down on the thing's side.
Finnrick summons an ice elemental and the two planar beings immediately begin yelling at each other in their respective languages. Neither of them were able to understand the other, but that was hardly the point. The overall tone of the comments were pretty clear, especially the fire elemental's laughter as the ice elemental lunged at him only to meet empty space.
As the two elementals "play", Jaed and Carrakas team up, allowing Carrakas to land a solid blow. Meanwhile Lily moves to get a clear line of sight and attempts to zap it with a small bolt of acid, but is overly conservative trying to avoid hitting her companions, and it bolt zips over the fire elemental's shoulder harmlessly.
Smirking, the fire element insults the ice elemental further by ignoring it and continuing to attack Jaed. However, it's split attention allows the rogue to easily predict where he's going to be and avoid the attacks.
Lily conjures and hurls another bolt of acid, lacking any other really useful resources against this kind of adversary.
Marzela takes a 5 foot step and swings at it with the cold iron mace.
The frost elemental continues to fight the larger creature slaming it again.

cold
Finnrick meanwhile drops his sling "usless thing move forward to begin casting.
Jaed is happy to see the Tiefling finally smashing the elemental with a hammer. This, and the inability of the monstrosity to land his blows makes the rogue feel more confident in his plan. So confident in fact, that his waving gives way to a more rhythmic movement set to attract the elemental's attention. From the distance one could think the rogue had just started dancing.
As the ice elemental arrives, and Jaed continues to distract his foe, Carrakas grins in glee. He gathers up his power and takes another swing.
Both Marzela and the ice elemental manage to hit. The fire elemental manages to shrug off most of the damage, but hisses as the ice douses some of its flames. The hiss quickly turns into a roar as Carrakas manages to land another solid blow on it, but his incredibly fast reflexes allow him to avoid the ground grabbing on to it. He's starting to look tired and very frustrated that luck seems to be against him. "သငျသညျအဘယ်သူမျှမသေဆုံးအဘယ်ကြောင့်"
Annoyed by the other elemental's cackling glee at hitting him, he turns and first attempts to melt the creature. Its first attempt just barely misses, but when the ice elemental turns to make a snide comment in aquan, the fire element takes the opening to land a solid hit, knocking the wind out of his opponent but not quite dropping it.
,
Lily once again flails uselessly.
Marzela swings again.
A second frost elemental appears next to the other.
They power highfive and both elementals attempt to slam the fire creature.
Millsy charges forward and tries to aid Carrakas as well
Jaed continues with his distracting dance. "C'mon guys, we've got this!"
Carrakas gives out a short, barking "Ha!" as he grins like a maniac, taking in the new arrivals. He gathers in more energy and swings again, trying to take advantage of his friend's distractions.
As most of the people around him flail ineffectively, Carrakas manages to land another solid blow, this time finally ensnaring the now rather haggard looking elemental. Growling in frustration, he slams first into its bonds, ripping them apart. He then looks menacingly about before attempting to at least kill off the annoying initial ice elemental. When the creature dissolves into water, he gives a howl of victory, as he begins to look around for his next target.
