The Globe that Paul is attacking moves away defensively, and fires a bolt of electricity at the adventurer...but is deflected thanks to Gii's divine assistance.
The Second one moves over Alar's head further into the open area but spins around like a dynamo and sends a blast of lightning at him...but misses and strikes the wall of the cavern.
Then from around the corner, appears a rather strange looking amalgam of Elf and bat. Her ears have grown hairy and pointed and her nose transformed into a large snout. One of her arms has almost completely transformed into a wing, leaving only her hand mostly unchanged. Alar can immediately scent her oddness, and she has a wild look in eyes. She screams something in an alien language, pointing at the Lion with her good hand, and he can feel his very spirit assaulted with her words...
Blue: Linndell: Paul:
Ayreth reaches out, casting Guidance on Doctor Gii, then moves to her right and forward to try to see the new threat down the tunnel. Unfortunately, it bends too much. Her ghostly starknife again shoots at the nearest globe.
Round 4
Gii sets his staff against the wall and draws his crossbow from where it hangs at his waist. "Was hoping I would not have to use this damnded thing," he complains as he readies a bolt.
Spells Prepared:
1 - divine favor (1/1), obscuring mist (1/1), shield [D] (1/1), summon monster I (1/1)
2 - barkskin [D] (1/1), remove paralysis (1/1), summon monster II (1/1)
3 - dispel magic [D] (1/1), prayer (1/1), remove curse (1/1)
Linndell moves to J3 and fires his bow at the globe at G3.
Alar hops forward and attacks the Bat woman, believing himself to have shaken off whatever magic she had tried to use. Though part of him knew she was possibly a victim, as Dalviss cook had been, she was a dangerous threat now, and needed to be stopped at the very least.
Fed up with being able to do nothing, Bart finally conjures a small orb of acid in his hand and flings it at the nearest Defender Globe. Unfortunately, though the spell was strong enough to ward away pick pockets and the like, it wasn't very powerful and the young lad rarely practiced it. The ball of acid went wide, splashing into the ceiling above the Globe harmlessly instead.
Alar-Swift, Five foot to A4
Full Round Attack
Bart-Standard, Cast Acid Splash
Alar HP- Full
Bart HP- Full
Bart Used a Cantrip this round
For now Paul will move to G:2 and attack the orb at F;1.
Feeling a bit woozy, the ascetic takes a defensive stance and puts her fist into her palm, focusing on calming herself.
The Defender Globe 1 engaged with Paul moves carefully away from him towards its twin (to E:3) and sends a lightning bolt at Paul.
And the Defender Globe 2 hovering in the air close to Blue Heron seems to shift its focus and fires electricity at Doctor Gii!
Meanwhile, the Elf-bat-woman slashes at Alar wildly with claws and teeth, all the while screaming in that same alien language as earlier. Unfortunately, all her attempts to injure the lion come to naught.
Paul

The Will of Heaven shelter me!
Whatever curse assailed Blue Heron was intense. But she would not give up.
But nothing happens.
Linndell fires another arrow at the same target.

Ayreth casts Guidance, then hops up just a bit to target Paul with it. Her starknife attacks the same globe.
----------------
--------------------
Upon the true strike made by Ayreth's spiritual weapon, the defender globe 1 issues a bright fizzing/crackling light before extinguishing and returning from whence it came.
Round 5
Gii lifts his weapon and takes careful aim at the Defender Globe that had attacked him, before squeezing the trigger. The bolt has barely even left the weapon before he starts reloading.

.
After the rest of the crew attacked, Paul pushes over to 3:F and attacks the remaining globe.
With the bonuses from his allies he'll elect to use "power attack" on it -
Bart moves further into the opening (to I4) and again conjures a small orb of acid in his hand and throws it towards the Globe in melee with Paul, but due to his inexperience or frustration, he misses the otherworldly Globe.
Alar continues his assault on the Bat-Woman, trying to keep her managed and not a threat to his friend and the rest of the party, and hits with a powerful claw.
The remaining globe retreats from Paul's attack (to D3) and sends an electrical blast at him...striking him as the energy courses over him.
And the Bat woman retreats further into the tunnel, waving her hands defensively and chanting as a shimmering peaceful aura comes over her.
Blue,
Blue Heron gags on bile as she points the nearly dead wand at the remaining globe.
Round 6
With Blue's magic missile attack on the orb, the defender globe 2 issues a bright fizzing/crackling light before extinguishing and returning from whence it came.

Ayreth reaches out to her newest comrade, Lindell, casting Guidance. "Strike well, friend Lindell." Then she starts moving toward Alar, wary of the pit trap.

Linndell waits for the bat-thing to come around the corner, hen he will shoot a arrow at it.
edit=added hp spoiler...forgot earlier
Round 6
Gii grabs his quarterstaff and moves towards the hallway where Alar and the remaining enemy are. He grits his teeth, not looking particularly pleased.
Spells Prepared:
1 - divine favor (1/1), obscuring mist (1/1), shield [D] (1/1), summon monster I (1/1)
2 - barkskin [D] (1/1), remove paralysis (1/1), summon monster II (1/1)
3 - dispel magic [D] (1/1), prayer (1/1), remove curse (1/1)
Crossbow - 1 bolt fired
Bartholomew looks at the others uncertainly, having no idea what was going on. He moves forward and then spots the woman. Surprised, he turns to Gii and through his message spell asks, "Gii, ya got any of those scrolls left? She's lookin a lot like Leera was... only all Batlike. Maybe she's another victim?"
Alar remains between the batwoman and the party. He's unable to fight her, but he serves as good barrier from harm... hopefully.
Paul brashly calls out to Bart,
"What in the hells is going on over there, boy? Has your little friend finished off our foe?"
and pushes himself off the ceiling, floating further to the left . Still in the air, he switches to his rife, aiming it at the passageway lest an enemy try to sneak by.
Through his spell Bart replies, and informs the rest of the group, "There's a spell caster... I think. She be like Leera was. Half animal, sounds like she's in pain. She's done somethin. Alar can't hit her."
"Anyone tried talking with her, like we did back with Leeara?" Paul's eye was on keenly on the passageway. He remembered the curse that had befallen the cook and the strange behaviour of some of the other townsfolk back in Dustpawn.
Via your link with Alar, you discover that the elf-bat-woman is quite injured and probably not going to come around the corner and meet you guys head-on.
"She's pretty badly hurt... I don't know if she wants ta fight us or not but she could have done a lot worse to Alar if she could cast magic. Might be that she's just defending herself, Gii?"
"Maybe..." Gii relays back to Bart, his grip on his weapons relaxing just a tad.
The elf-bat-woman does not move out from her hiding place (nor approach the adventurers). She is muttering something quietly to herself.
