Being told that there are unidentified aura, Tarwas also casts Detect Magic and tries to identify them.
Then he tries to hide again and flies down into the room.

Barid moves to the corner of the room , keeping an eye on everything that he can.
Barid will use his ninja ability and walk down to the corner via walls and ceiling.
Now inside the room, you're better able to inspect the cauldron. It takes a long moment to confirm the cauldron itself is a figment- hence why you were unable to determine its properties- but it is not the illusion spell that you detected with your magic. A more powerful, still unidentified illusion spell masks the lesser magic that is the figment. But even as you're determining this, the trapdoor transforms with a wooden whine in an instant, solidifying into a seamless ceiling. A simple thick metal barring slides into place from non-existence across the double doors, without a way to remove it. You hear a quick series of jarring crunches around the walls, and the room itself suddenly drops. Those flying are slammed into the ceiling. Whatever the spell was, it apparently transformed parts of your surroundings with a complex trigger as to make the room fall.
The room remains intact at the end of the fall, though cracks drive along the walls and floor. A loud splosh sounds from all around, and the doors burst slightly ajar with the barring holding fast. An opening is made, large enough for one person at a time to squeeze through as a full round action, or as a move action with an Escape Artist DC 20. Each of you remain in the position you were when the fall occurred. The opening reveals a jagged cave-like wall about 15 feet from the doors, illuminated by a fiery orange-red glow from below. Hot air begins flowing through the opening in the door. The room tilts, at a 30 degree angle with the doors being on the topside, the opposite wall dipping down. An upward surge follows rapidly, then steadies. The room then feels stationary.
Before you can further assess the situation, the magical lights, cauldron, and magic aura vanish. Everyone is targeted by Dispel Magic, result 31 (if I'm not mistaken, this means everyone's biggest buff is dispelled). You find, mostly submerged into the stone floor beneath where the figment cauldron was, is a real iron cauldron, with only minimal flare and fancy design upon it. It is 2 feet into the stone.
Finally, you hear the sound of wings outside, echoing in the cavern outside the doors.
Bariel will use a charge from his wand to cast protection from evil on himself. vs DC 20
"That... hurt." Bariel whispers.
Tarwas shakes his head.
"My, my, is Calimsport as of late situated over an vulcano or what?"
He then begins recasting his lost spells, starting with false life, followed by Ablative Barrier and Shield.
If nothing new comes up until then, he'll begin to chisel the cauldron out of the stone.
Lets say 1 Overland Flight, 2 Ablative Barrier, False Life sadly run out already.
=> Barrier
false life
Since we are not in initiative, Belsiard plays for four rounds and heals everyone
Besliard then readies his whip and then casts Major Image, just as he releases his healing burst. Standing in front of the door way ready to move out is an image of Belsiard, in the images hands is a loaded crossbow that crackles with magic. [ooc] When we are ready to go I will send it out first.

Someone was waiting to trigger that. Ynaeve takes a look around the cavern after squeezing through. She will wait for one of the more combat oriented to get through first.
Immunity to slashing is funny. So a tiny rapier or arrows can destroy it, while a great sword doesn't even scar it.[/ooc]
Belsiard immediately begins healing everyone. Molten bubbling is heard, and at a snail's pace, the cracks in the floor fill with lava only a moment before it solidifies. The floor warms quickly. You hear voices in the cavern- spellcasting. You have limited visibility through the opening, and do not see the source.
Belsiard is hovering still.
Once the others are ready to go,Belsiard will first send the image through the door, hopefully to take the first blast of whatever, then Belsiard will cast improved invisibility on himself, just before he squeezes through the door. When he does he will start his greater spellsteal BP.
Escape artist when it is time,

Activating my armor's flight ability, as well as my staff's invisibility power, should last for 15 minutes each, until dispelled.
Belsiard's image "squeezes" through the door, and steps out. Suddenly there is an explosion of, what the magic users recognize, as fireballs, and a couple of lightning bolts that slam into the image
Rd 1
Belsiard activates his Greater Spellsteal performance as a swift action, then casts Greater Invisibility, then moves through the door.
Tarwas activates the magic on his sword before casting a spell and shrinking to half his size and width.
He then flies out...
Spellcombat casting reduce person + first half of my moves
I assume small characters should be able to just move through it, at most counting as difficult terrain.
Difficult terrain to get through the door way.
Outside is a 20 ft wide hallway that extends at least 100 feet down. There are runes lighting the way every 20 ft. About 80 feet down the hall are 3 men and 2 women dressed in robes. judging by the door and the collapsed body of Belsiard, or is that only a major image?, the 5 of them let loose a barrage of magical energy at the first person through the door. It appears to have been quite formidable.
They are staggered so that the only way to attack more then 1 at a time you must have a 15 foot reach.
Seeing his enemies, Tarwas clacks the heels of his boots together and flies to the nearest caster, trying to open a few holes in his body.
My current touch AC is 34.
1 round Haste.
Assuming they are evil humans. If the are actually Evil outsiders, add 2 to hit, 2+2d6 damage. If they are not evil, reduce damage by 2d6. The 1d6 are cold damage.
I'm not going to attack this round, but instead to get my bearings first as I move into the hallway. I move up to the ceiling and stay there for the moment.
Bariel will use his improved invisibility ability and head outside. Not attacking this turn, but will get out there and stay away from the runes until someone else figures out what they are.
middle of the wall and you need an escape artist check to get through the door. Dc 20, if you fail it takes triple movemnt
ceiling is 30 feet up
auto-succeed on the escape artist (+26 modifier)
Anyone with a spellcraft of +10 recognizes them as a simple light spell

nope you figure out that they are not traps
OK In that case, I've done my actions for Round 1. Although I did have a question...Can I make out from where I am the location of the last person (i.e. the farthest back) flinging snot at us?
yes you can
Botting Ynaeve. Ynaeve moves through the door, taking her time with the door, then
Three of the humans send lightning bolts flying. The first strikes the invisible Belsiard and Tarwas. A second hits both Barid and Ynaeve, and the third strikes Tarwas and Belsiard again.
1st DC 21 Ref
2nd DC 21 Ref
3rd DC 21 Ref
The furthest human casts a spell against Tarwas
Tarwas make a DC 20 Will save. If you fail that make a DC 20 Fort save. If you fail that you die. If you make that then take damage. This is a fear effect.
In front of Ynaeve and Barid a wall of crackling electricity appears, though it does not harm them it does prevent them from moving.
Rd 2
Belsiard manages to twist out of the way of a lot of the energy. Then he moves forward and
touches the nearest sorcerer, using his spell steal ability on him
the caster fails his save and Belsiard steals the spell Phantasmal killer from him.
Go Heroes
Tarwas now tries to finally make his way to one of the lightningbolt shooting caster to silence him.
Overall (assuming a 43 hits) 276 damage.
=>with crit 139 Damage
= miss
=>with crit 52 damage
=>with crit 56 damage
Crit confirmation
yes all are hasted. Not mythic.
Bariel will move 120ft forward while under improved invisibility and attempt to place himself in prime position to strike next turn (flanking, if possible)
Tarwas slaughters the first caster.
Quick Stats show my new HP total.
So is this wall of electricity just a wall, or are we boxed in, as if they know where we are standing/floating?
it is between you and the combat, behind is the room that had held the cauldron
Was there anything in the room, besides the cauldron?
no
I can cast fly at will so I would not have walked out of the cage (I am an Avariel after all)
Ynaeve casts greater invis and then flys up above the lightning wall.
I think we have a ceiling...
I posted a while back how high it is, the wall is the same as a wall of fire
I posted a while back how high it is, the wall is the same as a
Well in that case, since I already stated that I was on the ceiling, I'll just fly past, effectively over the wall.
I'll take a full 30' move, still stealthing (and invisible) towards the last guy in the group.
that works. Please clearly state your round actions. I got tarwas and bel and ynaeve right now.
Bariel will move to the last guy and attack (While under improved invisibility).
(+2 more if he can't see through my invis)
(if he is subject to sneak attack)
bariel weaves his way through the enemies and slashes deeply into the caster who ries out.
With greater invisibility cloaking her, Ynaeve will cast see invisible as she realizes several of her companions are no longer visible, she'll also be cautiously moving her position, to the opposite corner of the wall and ceiling, and closing with the enemy casters to within 50'.
And yes, she would have spread the haste around.

Since haste has been confirmed, then Barid will move another 30' in Round 2, and that should put him 30' from the bad guys.
ynaeve how have you cast 3 spells? It is rd 2. I cast haste for you in rd 1 rd 2 is greater invis. It is possible but explain.
