Combat Over.
Guaire stabilizes at -7HP!
Mort walks up quickly towards Jarreck and holds out a hand. "I believe you've acquired a healing wand? I think it's time we used it."
After receiving the wand he skirts away to the fallen Guaire and pokes him on the shoulder with it a few times.
"That should make him feel better, I think I could use a tap myself as well."
"Jarreck you in need of one too? Anyone else?"
Guaire comes to after the administered healing charges.
"Hmm...that was an unexpected turn of events. My thanks for the healing. Does any of you know this strange phenomenae? With that glowing eye and all."
Seventeen is also injured although she seems oddly unconcerned about it as she examines the remains of the Skeletons.
To Seven, its almost as if something was taking control of the skeletons. The glowing eyes were a symbol of this "possession".

Niles no one stated who had the wand CLW, so assuming I have it, can I toss it to Seven and still attack this round?
Jarreck looks to Mort "yes, thank you. I believe you would be better suited to carry that from now on."
while waiting to hear Sevens investigation of the skeleton, Jarreck will look around and retrieve his bow which should be close by. Checking it for any damage.
"There were so many! Are you okay, Guaire?"
"I'm alot better than just now, thank you. I haven't seen this kind of skeletons before."
"Much appreciated, i wasn't prepared for such an occasion."
Guaire puts them into his quiver.
Suddenly Seventeen launches into a detailed explanation of what happened, "It appears these skeletons are just mindless undead, however I detected lingering traces of some kind of possesion . If I'm right it started when that one's eyes turn green. That means someone or something knows we are here and is trying to kill us. We must be wary, it is likely there are more undead in this complex."
A few moments later she adds lightly, "Oh I appear to be bleeding, can somebody help?"
"....Seven, your blood is translucent, any human's blood is not."
Guaire looks her meaningful in the eyes.
You're more than meets the eye, aren't you.
Seventeen narrows her eyes and asks Guaire, "Are you all right? It seems you are hallucinating."
He quickly whispers
"We'll discuss it later."

"Shall we continue to follow the trail or do we want to examine the larger area we are in. It seems we are now expected"
Jarreck will offer one of the sunrods to Omo or Seven. "At the first sign of combat how about using this to widen the area of good visibility. Throw it in the middle of them if nothing else. We can stay in the shadows but see them better." He says the last with a grim smile.
Seventeen digs a few copper pieces out of her purse, casts light on them and hands them out saying, "An old trick. Sunrods are nice but so is magic! Keep these in your pocket"
Edit: Gents the light cantrip can be cast endlessly. Who DOESN'T want light on their weapon?
Jarreck does some scouting from the current position of the party and notes that the cavern is indeed large, and sandy, with a hillock of stone in the center of the central cave.

"Seven I would prefer to be able to remain in the shadows as much as possible, maybe Guaire would like something affected by your light spell."
Jarreck staying under the edge of the hillock will move east trying to get close enough to view what the light source is to the southeast. While using the hillock to hide his silhouette.
"I am going to ease along the base of the hillock to see if I can determine the source of that glow to the southeast."
He moves out trying to stay 50' or so in front of them. Without any further discussion he will only go as far as the far side of the hillock. He is creeping forward with his bow out and arrow nocked.
To the suggestion of Seven's light spell Guaire nods.
"I wouldn't mind if so. An illuminated arrow could be useful.
Be careful Jarreck, strange places...strange places."
Mort sheaths his club and wanders around still a little troubled by his wounds he decides to tap himself with the wand once more.
"I'll go along with you Jarreck, if you find anything you'd might need a little bit of help."
Mort's hand begins pulsating a dark black aura as the two go along to scout.
Jarreck and Mort do some more scouting and find a nook of a cavern where the light emits from
A crisp glow of light shines from the northern wall of this cavern,
although no obvious source of the light is apparent.
Mort looks at the light and looks around.
"Well this seems weird, there is light but no light source or am I as blind as a bat suddenly?"
"Heh, you're right Jarreck. So there is a hidden room behind that northern side. I wonder who tried to keep it hidden and why."
Seventeen appears to be stareing after the scouts, but in reality she's thinking, 'This wound is a nuisance, but so was that that *woodsman's* attention. Maybe Omo will help me if I ask him discreetly later.'
Jarreck doesn't find any traps he does find a door, similar to the metal portals he used to enter the cavern. It is a circular grey metal door with a panel used to open and close it, this one however was left ajar. Jarreck sees that someone knocked it off its track, so it won't close fully.

"A fake back wall? This field trip is getting more of a revelation as we go."
Next you're saying we'll be seeing angel and demons fight each other.

"No time like the present to find out where this goes. Keep your heads down and your wits about you"
Jarreck will move up to the open doorway and peer inside. If he doesn't see anything he will step in trying to tread quietly.
Trying to look everywhere at once he stumbles into the doorframe knocking his sword handle in the process.
Omo follows Jarreck's lead, never happier that his species was familiar with the underground.
Jarreck moves through the illusionary wall and moves through the door where he sees
This metal room is brightly lit by glowing panels i n the ceiling
above. To the left and right, complex machines consisting of
spiral tubes and nozzles twitch and hum. The nozzles match those seen earlier in the room near where you fought the robot.
Every few seconds a spark of electricity snaps from one side of the room to the other. Jarreck, you think that you may be able to disable this electrical current if you could ground it appropriately .

"Hmmm, that looks like it might hurt, let me see here. There's some extra cabling laying here, might be able to short this thing out. Everyone stand back please."
Taking out his tools, he sorts through them looking for just the right items. Then opening a panel on the side of the room; he strips the ends of the cable to bare the wires. Crossing the circuits under the panel he tries to short out the nozzles.
Jarreck does his thing, but he fails to properly secure one side and he is shocked for .
This does have the effect of bleeding off some of the excess electrical energy. Allowing everyone to hustle through without being shocked, however the area will once again become electrified in minutes.
The tunnel curves ahead to the right and onward, but there are doors directly in front of you.

"Well that was certainly NOT the way to do that." coughing to clear the burnt taste from his lungs and throat "Everyone quickly come through before it re-energizes. I need to cut the power to this room before we come back through"
Jarreck will take a look around to see if there is any panels on this side of the room that might allow him to cut the power going into that rooms.
Once everyone is through the room and before we move down the hall, "Mort, can you help me out a little, Man that hurt!"
Surprised by the sudden electric release, Guaire checks on Jarreck.
"Look at me, how many fingers am i holding up? Just checking your eye focus here."
Mort looks back at Seven with a questioning look.
"Why are you eyeing me so much? O it isn't me? Just this wand? Very well then"
He then looks back at Jarreck
"No sweat, though you ought to be careful with those electric shocks Jarreck. We can't have you go unconscious on us."
"So these doors here, anybody have a key? I don't see any keyholes though. Is this with some sort of lock that can be opened with a different device? Those cards for example? I've seen garritt fumble with such a thing before as well. I think it was a safe he couldn't get open."
The air in this room seems to buzz and hum with energy. Strips
of glowing rectangles light the room from above, while strange
flickering windows line the east and west walls. A large glass topped
circular table sits in the middle of the room. To the north
sits a large metal desk covered with blinking lights, while a
humming pillar of purple-and-black metal stands nearby, its
sides flashing with tendrils of violet energy. A single golden
panel flashes with a soft but incessant light on the side of this
pillar. A thick layer of dust coats everything, diffusing the lights shining from the various surfaces, and many of the machines
seem to be damaged, cracked, or otherwise ruined.
Is stenciled into the large glass table.
