Shalissa tries to make it up the wall as well.
You all scramble over the wall!
Looking around, you see the following:
An Aqueduct
A Tower
A Temple
A Well
Tazion

It looks like there is a building a little over 100ft away to the east of us. Lets head over there and see if we can explore that while we still have some light. Hopefully we can find some place that we can fortify to spend the night.
"All of these buildings you civilizers construct are odd to me, so it makes no difference which we check out first."
The ancients used subterranean aqueducts to supply Tazion with fresh water. Though long dried up, two entrances to these cramped tunnels remain.
know engineering
Neltji pauses to take an assessment of the tunnels before they enter to make sure they are safe and won't collapse on them. Should they seem secure then she will cast light for the party and step aside for one of the more adventuresome to enter first.
"Agreed. Let's explore this first" Shalissa follows along, paying attention to everything in the aqueducts, specially to any historical cue or indication of their final destination.
She also scans the area with detect magic.
Cevill will help others look around.
As you all enter the aquaduct, one of you feels a stone plate sink and water swishes up forming a huge water elemental!
Ndombe moves and stabs at the elemental with his trident...
Melee
...while Umangane approaches as well and attempts to strike the thing with a claw...
know arcane able to be hexed with misfortune?
Neltji will target the water elemental with a misfortune unless her knowledge of such creatures tells her that it is immune. If so then she will try a evil eye to reduce it's accuracy in targeting her friends. She then laughs at its misfortune.
Ndombe's trident strikes the elemental, but doesn't do the damage he thinks it should have done.
Neltji thinks it can be hexed.
Shalissa lunges without hesitation, both hands gripping her blade as she drives it into the churning body of the elemental. Water sprays as her strike cuts deep, her stance low and ready to press the attack.
Shalissa will tell the group that this is a standard huge water elemental and as such normal damage is reduced. To illustrate her point, her longsword does not do the damage she would expect it to do.
The Elemental turns its attention to Shalissa and attempt to slam her!
Ndombe will step away from he elemental and cast bull's strength onto Umangane...
...who promptly misses 3 times!
Ndombe misses the water elemental!
Badly battered, Shalissa staggers back "It is too hard, without effective weapons, we probably need to run away here!"
She does try to move out of reach in total defense.
Badly injured, Shalissa withdraws!
Seeing its target Shalissa withdraw, the elemental will pound Ndombe!
Ndombe takes a poke with his trident...
Melee
Umngane will continue his attacks on the elemental...
"We probably need to leave, its body is just too tough!" Shalissa shouts, but at the same time starts to say magical words from a safe position.
She waves her conjuration power and brings down a glitterdust over the elemental, trying to avoid the others.
Ndombe misses, but luckily Umngane wounds the creature.
