Of more immediate concern is the trio of hunched, horn-headed creatures who scuttle about the room, currently oblivious to the Varisian's presence! They vaguely resemble the flying creature the party fought recently, but are deformed, and each has a third, twisted vestigal arm growing from its torso!
He hopes his comrades will come soon.
"Follow. Edward, you lead, and when the link returns, I'll and Liska ahead."
Vojtek, Kappi went that way, you take the lead, I will hold the rear Ali, Davosh after you lets find where our friend went. Probably went looking for a maiden.
So the party moves into the strange hallway to go looking for Kappi.
About 20 feet down the passage, you notice the cavern is noticeably colder — you can see your breath mist in front of your face as you breathe — and the dim purple light from the luminescent stones fails to light up the cloying darkness. Up ahead a bit, you see the faint glow of a sunrod on the ground, giving a dim vision of the broadening gloom up ahead. A cavern emerges from the passage; ahead of you, like some harrowing cage woven from bone, wood, and sinew, a tangle of massive drying racks display the remains of dozens of woodland creatures — most dead, but an unfortunate few still twitching. Narrow wooden planks serve as precarious walkways leading between the racks, with several rope ladders ascending to its various levels. Leather buckets with dark stains hang from the hideous structure in several spots, with various cruel and filthy vivisection tools poking from within them. The ice-cold room is currently illuminated by faint luminescent fungi all across the walls, which bear oddly lifelike goat skulls at regular intervals.
Vojtek, it should be noted, is not stealthy — at least, not like Kappi, who tries to get everyone's attention from his hiding place off to the side as a trio of hunched, horn-headed creatures turn to take notice of the intruders! They vaguely resemble the flying creature the party fought recently, but are deformed, and each has a third, twisted vestigal arm growing from its torso!
Round 1
Vojtek — GO

. The Speaker-To-Ancients shouts everything he knows!
Davosh rushes into the room. His fingers begin to spark with energy as he starts to cast a spell of evocative power and energy. A bolt of pure lightning springs from his fingers!
Round 1
Kappi slips forward stealthily and sneak attacks Mr Green.
Stealth
melee attack
+1 short sword
Vojtek's silence for the past few minutes was born not of his usual stoicism, but rather a gnawing fear that something horrible had befallen his little brother. Relief mixed with fury flooded the barbarian's brain - a potent cocktail indeed.

Ali notes the flash of electricity on her left, and the splashes of blood on her right. She assumes that Kappi & Vojtek have their foe well in hand--but Davosh just drew the ire of two enemies with his bolt.
The elf pops out her wand of shield & fires it off, then drops it. Drawing her blade, she moves to protect Davosh from the certain vengeance of the weird beasties!
Current AC: 21
"Thank you my arcane friend!"
Kappi and Vojtek combine to slay Green outright!
Both emerge from the bolt unscathed, as though they had evaded it entirely!
Each pulls out a filthy-looking bottle and drains it in a single gulp! Both get noticeably beefier and begins to climb effortlessly up the makeshift hanging racks, about fifteen feet above the floor!
Angered, Davosh gives Blue the Evil Eye!
Ali decides to concentrate on the same creature Davosh is targeting. She smirks evilly, and casts Grease, focusing on the racks the thing is climbing!

Round 2
The Varisian rogue is good climber but not sure if he wants to fight up on the scaffolding when he doesn't have to. Dont let your opponent dictate the rules of the encounter He decides to make use of the awesome new magical belt scabbard thingee.
Kappi moves a little closer and hurls his Cold Iron tomahawk at Mr Red.

Round 1
Ed takes a little step to the left, the flash from the electricity strobes the room, and Davosh could make out the impressed surprised look on the oradin’s face even as the bow reached the proper angle. Two twangs were heard in rapid succession with his arrows flying at the one still bathed in the pale blue light.
- Round the Second

Vojtek leaps at the scaffolding and scrambles up it like a man possessed.
As he approaches the level where it is perched, he tries to fend off the worst of its wild swing at him, then he attacks the red creature with a renewed fury!

Edward lets a pair of arrows fly at Blue, and both land home!
Vojtek clambers up the makeshift trellis, but trying to remain on the wooden rack throws his balance off, and his right claw catches only air!
Kappi flings his throwing axe, which lands in Red's thigh!
Ali casts a spell...
...but Blue seems unaffected by the suddenly-slipperly slope!
Davosh gives Blue the evil eye...
...which is soon to be shaken off!
Blue glides through the greased area and lines up adjacent to the barbarian, then waits...
Red then climbs effortlessly up the side of the wall alongside Vojtek, and triggers Blue's readied action!
Red then takes the opportunity to full attack Vojtek!
R 8
Davosh cackles to keep his Eye in the fey's mind. He adds to it a new hex, targeting saves!
Round 3
One moment his tomahawk was sticking out of Mr Red's thigh and the next moment it disappeared and was back hanging off his magic belt. The young lad can't help but laugh a little as the strange "blink back" belt actually works!
He pulls his cold iron weapon and hurls it again at Mr Red.

Vojtek clambers up the makeshift trellis, but trying to remain on the wooden rack throws his balance off, and his right claw catches only air!
That wasnt a full attack. Those are 2 natural attacks.

Vojtek continues his ferocious assault, despite his subconscious suspicion that he is under the dubious control of an extraordinarily busy person who is burning himself out with his insane work schedule for BOTH of his jobs.

Vojtek's left claw catches Red once, and his bite the same, though the tough skin of the fey seems to dull the impact of each a little!

Edward lands a pair or arrows in Red's hide!
And Blue!
R 51
- Round the Fourth
- Current HPs: 63/112
Vojtek stoically ignores his freely flowing blood. The pain from his wounds stokes the fire of his rage, and other hackneyed tropes.
He shrugs his shoulders vigorously to ensure the musculature in his arms is intact. It seems to be, so he launches into another series of attacks as soon as he sees an opening!

Vojtek's reptilian heart seems to be pumping with its customary vigor, and his limbs seem to be moving properly, but the barbarian realizes perhaps his right arm is responding a little sluggishly. When he glances down and notes the exposed tendons below his right biceps which seems to confirm his hypothesis.
It takes both claws and his bite , but Vojtek finally drops Red!
Now Vojtek savaging the dying creature, the Varisian lad shifts his focus to Mr Blue. His favored tomahawk back on his magical belt, Kappi takes it up and lefts fly!
