Jennix's eyes widen as he see the large, hulking flower. What in the name of Desna....
Moving up, he draws his weapons and slashes with the katana. "Use fire and slashes!"
"Quite right Jennix! And--" Terflynn starts, considering the rest and realizing his friends are not prone to manipulating such elements. "Oh just kill it!"
The elf witch then murmurs dark incantations as fire springs up between his hands in a small, bright sphere. He opens his hands forward and the bead darts ahead, right past the creature in fact. However, once behind it, the bead flashes in an explosion of flame.
Zack follows up the fire blast with a hail of arrows.
Hearing Jennix's advice on the enormous flower , Miso hesitates a second as his comrades attack with confidence.
The Kellid is then both ashamed for his hesitation and angry at himself for it. The emotional response causes claws to sprout from his hands again, and he tries to let the feelings drive him forward as he five-foots to the flora's side and flurries!
Jennix slashes into the plant's stem and Terflynn burns some petals away with a blast of fire! Although Zachary's arrows do less damage than against other creatures, he still finds a weak spot and nearly kills the flower. Miso gives it a papercut.
The giant flower's wounds are already repairing themselves as it attacks the frontliners!
"Miso, get down!" Terflynn shouts as he extends his mittens and a wave of fire emerges.
Terflynn singes a few leaves! Miso kicks and punches but can't seem to penetrate the thick hide of the plant with merely his blunt blows!
Jennix struggles under the grasping cocoon!
Zack attempts to perforate the creature enough for Jennix to escape.
Miso and Zachary finish off the moonflower before it has a chance to swallow Jennix and spit him out in an acidic cocoon!
"Miso, use this on yourself." Terflynn says as he produces a wand of infernal healing. "We need to keep moving before my spell expires on Jennix."
With that, Terflynn detects for magic in the area.
Jennix tries rolling around in his cocoon, trying to get the other's attention. "Mmmmph! Hmmph! Mrrrumph!"
Miso carefully shreds the cocoon with his claws to release Jennix, then un-morphs them and takes the proffered wand gratefully. I remain in your debt, my friend.
"Ahh! Thank you Miso!" Jennix cries, taking a deep breath. Getting up, he grabs he stuff and follows the party.
Along the way, Jennix asks for healing.
Terflynn takes the returned wand and applies it to Jennix twice while also using a second wand. "No sense in leaving you scratched up."
Jennix nods his thanks. "Where to?"
"I suggest Miso lead us into the center of this chamber."
I see the wisdom of this. I shall do so.
Terflynn finds nothing magical in the moonflower's chamber. Moving to the center, you see that the room has no ceiling and instead forms a smooth-walled shaft that rises through the tower's interior. A crackling blue sphere of energy hangs in the air high above the shaft.
The winds howling down the central shaft are extreme .
Near the two doorways are two crystal panels.
Jennix examines the panels, fiddling with them.
After a few minutes, Jennix figures out how to use the panels to move up and down the tower. When he codes in to move up, the floor stays in place but a blue sheet of force moves up from the floor and lifts you all with it, carrying you quickly to the next floor.
It is significantly warmer up here and the central chamber is open on the southern three sides. You quickly realize the reason for the warm temperature on this level: there is an immense centipede-like beast occupying this chamber, rows of chitinous plates on its back glowing red-hot!
"I don't recognize this one."
Terflynn hexes the creature with poor fortune.
He then moves away from danger .

A remorhaz! Miso says with a frown. Magical beast, immune to fire and cold! They can swallow you whole! Their heat is such that touching them burns you and can even melt your weapon! We must endeavor to vanquish this foe from afar!
Miso will place himself between the beast and his friends while taking the total defense action .
Zack moves as far away from the creature as he can before it can react and fires a shot.
Terflynn brings fate down upon the remorhaz! Miso takes up a defensive stance to protect his allies and Zachary moves away to put an arrow into its side!
"Well sh!t!"[ Jennix exclaims as he steps up and attacks the creature.

Jennix cuts into the remorhaz and manages to pull his blade out in time to prevent it melting in his hand!
The remorhaz pulls Jennix up into its mouth in retaliation!
Jennix cringes as the jaws come toward him. Not again.....

Not again.....
Terflynn calls upon the dark mysteries of his patron once more, forcing calming thoughts upon the creature.
Jennix drops his axe, chops at the creature with both hands, then draws the poisoning dagger, applying some blue whinnis to it as he draws it.
Zack looses another volley at the dangerous creature.
Jennix cuts into the remorhaz but watches as the metal begins to melt from the creature's heat! Zachary puts an arrow in its belly and Terflynn then easily puts the thing to sleep.
Nothing of interest is found in the remorhaz's chamber.
Jennix looks down at his warped blade, then to Terflyyn. "Do you know how to fix this?"
Getting out his wand, Jennix begins healing himself.
Looking at his blade again, his holds it up and sights down the blade. "Actually, I think it's ok."
Looking around, he asks. "Up?"
"Yes, just a moment." Terflynn investigates the beast for alchemical ingredients and detects for magic in the area.
Terflynn finds nothing magical in the room except the doors, which are sealed with arcane locks and seem to be made of a strange crystal as hard as steel. As such it takes a few moments for Jennix to open them but he eventually gets them to move.
When opened, the hexagonal portals retract into the walls in six equal triangular sections. A bewildering array of crystals and metallic tracery are embedded in the walls of this chamber. A low humming noise fills the air, and the crystals flash with incomprehensible colored lights at irregular intervals.
Terflynn also notes that there are two magical items in the room: a gem of brightness and a cube of frost resistance

"What a strange place...."
"There are Crysmals here. Tread carefully." Terflynn activates his Shozoku, turning invisible, and pilfers the gem and cube.
As Terflynn tries to grab the magical gems, the crysmals sense the disturbance to their precious collection and move to attack!
"Do you know anything about them, Terflynn?"
Jennix draws his morningstar and steps to the nearest crysmal!
Miso's eyebrows arch as the crystals begin to move. What in the name of The Dream Lotus are crysmals?
Knowing that Terflynn has moved to get the gems, Miso charges Red in an effort to protect the invisible elf.
