Your skill is legendary! When you turn the corner you can see a pair of maidens hiding along the wall just outside the area of Morkeleb's spell. At the moment, they don't seem to notice you. In the western hallway you see the morbidly obese wizard! He casts a spell of invisibility as you turn the corner, but you don't think he saw you either!
The grey maidens begin to fight back!

Round 1:
Grym: Advance
Gaius: Stealth
Ferox: Hit
Sandor Double Move
Morkeleb: Ice Storm
Baddies: Stuff
Odric: Go
Black: 41
The plain-looking acolyte seems genuinely crestfallen at the failed ruse. Odric was sort of invested in the character, and felt like the Grey Maidens should have been a bit more appreciative that he had brought them a healing potion. Regardless, once he accepted the inevitable rapid descent into whirling steel, teeth, greenish magic, cries of triumph, agony, and the occasional grunt of sexual ecstasy from Gaius - pretty much everyone had left him in a mad rush to violence.
Odric's appearance rapidly shifted from crippled acolyte to a fearsome-looking female gnome barbarian! The tribal tattoos covering 'her' scantily clad form were fantastical, and her comely face was surmounted by a spray of bright pink hair. With a high-pitched "Whoop-yip-yip-YIPPEE!" Odric tumbled beneath Ferox's legs, avoiding the bottom recurve of his bow. With another rapid fire warcry, Odric vaulted Bucho by placing tiny hands with pink-painted nails on his rump and leaping feet-first through the air over the massive beast's back.
With a spinning and whirling tumble, replete with a couple feints and jabs, Odric's tiny form darted through the scrum with alacrity. He tumbled so fast, and with such an odd rush of racially augmented adrenaline and speed, that he wasn't even sure if he had been hit!
Taking a knee, in a dynamic stance with tiny heaving bosoms and insanely pink hair in a mane that seemed to defy gravity just on the other side of the second Grey Maiden, Odric took stock of the tactical situation.

As Odric's adorably cute hands push off Bucho's back, the Grey Maiden shifts unexpectedly and his advance is stopped cold. A shapely female gnomish bottom finds purchase on Bucho's back, and Odric's cute gnomish warcry startles Bucho for a moment.
With Bucho settled, and focused on the armed and armored foe before him, he and Odric seem a match made in the bowels of the Hell of Pink Cupcakes and Puppies.
The Kegerator flashes out at the Grey Maiden, and her fortune at stopping Odric's advance seems to have turned rather quickly for the worse.
Vital Attack / Power Attack (FF): for damage and .
Confirm: Vital Attack / Power Attack (FF): for damage and .
Odric tumbles his way past both grey maidens. He finds himself in a room that would otherwise be interesting to the carrier warrior. This small workshop for wood-, wicker-, and leatherworking is supplied with all the tools and equipment necessary to create and repair objects for everyday use. The room's other half is even more interesting. A huge angular fireplace and two anvils create a compact but well-equipped forge in this chamber. One of the anvils is a black iron, ordinary-looking implement, while the other is made of polished steel and shaped like a grotesque, squatting dwarf. Smithy tools hang on the walls and line the shelves.

Grym: Go

With the dwarven tank now blocking/guarding the parties southern flank, the ranger turns back to see if he can help out his loyal dog. Grym leans in by Ferox and hurls his seldom used hunga munga.

Bucho chomps down and begins to crush the woman's leg armor in his toothy maw. She screams in pain, but the cry is cut short when the hungamunga slices her throat!

Barring any changed, Sandor will ready to attack anything that comes within range. So far he hasn't seen anything.
Ferox aims to drop the maiden squaring off against Bucho.
Sandor adopts a poise ready to strike while Ferox struggles to get an arrow on target, but wings her on the last one.
Round 2:
Grym: Kill
Gaius: Skulk
Ferox: Hit
Sandor Ready
Morkeleb: Go
Baddies: TBD
Odric: TBD
Red: 18
Since the Ice Storm isn't obviously hindering foes, and does seem to be hindering friends, Morkeleb dismisses it with a gesture.
Morkeleb dismisses the ice storm, leaving Gaius far more exposed (though they don't see him obviously.)
The Maiden in front of Odric slashes twice at the man, her skill impressive, but not as impressive as Odric's own skill.

The grey maidens hiding down the hall hold off for a second, seemingly awaiting some cue to move.
That cue comes in the form of a massive bolt of lightning that streaks down the hall. No one sees it's starting point, nor the caster, though Gaius is close by the head of the bolt.
Once the bolt goes off the two remaining maidens move to engage Sandor, one of whom (Blue) walks right by Gaius unknowingly.

Ferox leans into the side corridor, avoiding the worst of the lightning.
Reflex save, Team Ranger both have evasion
Grym
Bucho
Some 6th sense have both man and dog somehow dodging out of the way and manage to escape the magic blast unscathed.
Morkeleb is surprised by the lightning and takes the full brunt.
Round the Next
FLASH! BOOM!
A lightning bolt flashing down the hallway perpendicular to Odric startled him despite his being a seasoned veteran. With burned flesh, sizzling hair, acrid smoke and ozone commingling with the genearally ripe odors or a group of sweaty adventurers in close quarters, the castle's dank stone smell achieved a sinister and singular stench.
On the heels of the magical lightning, Odric launches into a blinding series of attacks meant to eviscerate the hated grey maiden before him.

Sandor smashes her hard enough that she stumbles back into the range of Gaius's swing.
Round 3
Felling the guardswoman in the hall, Team Ranger now turns to the south room. Grym goes rushing past Sandor and heading to engage the blue guard. Grym is eager for blood on the spell caster. He believes it is the same one they fought before. The ranger directs Bucho to search out the hidden foe.

Round 3
Hearing Grym's command to Bucho spurs Sandor's action. Wanting to clear a path for team ranger, the dwarf switches his focus to the maiden to his west.

Sandor follows the maiden if she is knocked back from the bash keeping her threatened.
Morkeleb holds his staff ready, to counter what ever Short, Fat, and Bloody throws at them next.
Ferox calls on a quick blessing from Abadar (Swift, Bane: Human) and will focus his volley at Red. If she falls, the arrows will be directed at Blue.
Grym closes while Bucho snoots the area, not getting much more than the source being in the room with everyone else. Grym's blade though hits home, nearly killing the woman outright.
Sandor hits with axe and shield.

Ferox's arrows pile up in the chest of the Grey Maiden before him. He turns his bow south after she falls, but that arrow goes wide. Gaius, too, hits only armor, failing to damage the woman.
The remaining Grey Maidens try to cause as much mayhem as possible:
White moves to go after Bucho: and her blade hits the dog's haunch for
Blue tries to get herself out of the melee crunch by bull rushing Gaius . Gaius stands her ground, so she simply tries to withstand the oncoming storm.

Blue: 78
White: 59
I'm sorry if I hit with both weapons they take rend damage.
Ooc- Odric double moves to the Grey Maiden that is in the opening to the hallway on the west. I think he can get to just north of her, so next round a 5 foot step would close.
Odric runs down the hall, neatly jumping corpses and tapping Ferox on the shoulder as he passes to avoid taking an arrow in the back.
Upon bursting into the room he makes a snap decision that Grym, Bucho, and Gaius can probably handle the foe they nearly surround. He joins Sandor to the west, with hopes to curtail any attempts at escape.
<--this would identify an 8th level spell of the Illusion or Necromancy school, otherwise it's any spell. Does not take hidden components into account.
If I either fail to identify, or don't have the proper spell prepared, I'll try to counter w/Dispel, cast from staff (Bonded Object ability)
<--HA!! THAT'S more like it!!
Morkeleb catches another spell of horrid wilting as it's being cast and quickly moves to foil it! It's perfectly timed as Odric's jubilant arrival would ahve put him in the thick of a horrid spell.

Grym's AoO on Blue

The millisecond the guard gives Thorgrym an opening he snaps out his blade like a well honed sabre fencer.
Since it is unlikely he'll be able to counter the wizard again, Morkeleb opts to concentrate on taking him RTF out.
Cast See Invisibility. Reserve the right to take a move action depending on what I see.
Round 4
The ranger bares his teeth as he sees the white guard try to attack his dog. He moves to cut her down, its fairly quiet and mostly under his breath, he whispers through clenched teeth Quit distracting my dog you beotch!
Even as Grym brings his sword to bear on the white guard he continues to encourage Bucho to find the hidden foe.

Ferox advances into the room, calling on Abadar's Judgement to punish these villains.
Swift: Activate Judgement: Justice and Destruction
Once in the room, Ferox again calls on Abadar to bring terrible retribution down on his foes.
Cast: Judgement Light
Destruction: Red light erupts from the Ferox. Enemies in the area (30' radius) take points of damage and become shaken for rounds. A successful Will saving throw (DC 17) halves the damage and negates the shaken effect.
Justice: Blue light erupts from the Ferox, revealing hidden and invisible creatures to all. The light outlines such creatures for 1 round per caster level, imposing a –20 penalty on Stealth checks on those creatures.
BOOYAH
retcon: since I no longer need See Invisible, I'll change my action once I get a look at an updated map.
Grym's stop cut arrives at the woman's throat in the tiniest of openings, but the intelligent blade's thirst is enough to drop the woman.
Ferox blasts the area yet again with the Judgement of Abadar.
The woman's agony is audible, but the light reveals the disgustingly corpulent bloatmage, who merely grunts a bit.
