Orionet swings and misses, but his warrior strikes at the same time. The ghost shrieks and flies apart at the seams.
Garonok arrives panting...
"Seems... I... missed... the fun... Damn... it!"
R is rather somber looking, imagining that he might have lost his new friends. When Mouse and Glade arrive, he is looks up with almost a tear of joy, (ALMOST, let's be honest, he's still a goblin).
TRUE HEEEEEEEROooos! R knew nasty ghost couldn't REALLY hurt friends. R is happy to be seeing you again!
He eyes the ring and then looks around.
So... what next?
I am glad you are still with us. Is everyone all right?
I'm hurt a good bit.
"Hi R! It did hurt us, somewhat, but we are alive, and ready to see you bite those suckers back to the grave! Nice going! You too guys. I am glad you are here to keep me covered. Glade is in worst shape than me, can you help him, and me, if possible?"
All right, everyone please gather round.
Orionet gathers his rod of quicken, puts away his sword, and mutters something briefly.
"Thanks, that felt great!"
Ganorok extends his arms and do a couple flexions, smiling.
much better the Glade leads the way further into his dungeon, morningstar in hand.
"Ok, lets finish check the cart..."
Ganorok checks the cart and the surrounding area...
R follows Mouse around to see if he can learn anything from his investigation skills and help him out.
Ooohhh! What's that?
Orionet walks alongside R.
You find a whip, ghost touch bracers of armor +2, cloak of resistance +2,
ring of force shield, a decomposing leather purse beneath his body that contains 28 gp and two tourmalines worth 50 gp each, and his cross-eyed medusa ring is worth 125 gp.
OOOOOO! Shiny! R looks at the metallic items, being more naturally drawn to them. As he reaches out, he halts, looking to his companions for their reaction before touching any of the loot.
Ganorok smiles at R.
"Try them on, let's see if they fit!"
go ahead, most of those items don't do me any good.
The magic items re-size themselves to match the smaller party members.
After trying everything on, the only piece that seems to feel right is the ring of force shield. And the gemstones. Gemstones always feel right.
These look fun!

Perhaps we should keep moving. Find out what naughty ghost was hiding?
"Good idea, R, let me go first... remember, don't touch anything!"
Ganorok goes first, trying to be stealthy...
Stealth Roll=37 with Skill Mastery
(+7 vs. Traps)
This dull gray granite building looms in the center of the necropolis. Its entrance has a domed ceiling that rises to a height of twenty feet, and is decorated with intricate geometric designs. In the center of the chamber’s floor, a carved medusa crest stares endlessly upward. To the north, a pair of stained-glass windows depicting a handsome man and a beautiful woman look on. A motto engraved around the circumference of the medusa engraving on the floor reads, “A Blade Answers Even the Most Vexing Question.” The antechamber to the north is empty.
The stained-glass windows depict Aroden and Arazni as they appeared while they were human.
Ganorok keeps advancing as silently as he can.
Stealth Roll=37 with Skill Mastery
(+7 vs. Traps)
The walls of this domed and oval-shaped formal chamber are covered in complex geometric patterns of green and gold. It appears to be used for funerary rites, with marble tables to the north and south and two elaborate wheeled wooden biers at the center. To the east, the wall is made up of a huge iron oven with a closed door three feet square and two feet off the floor, with a shelf sticking out beneath it like the tongue of a huge, taunting beast.
Ganorok examines everything for traps...
(+7 vs. Traps)
As you move about the room, a creaking can be heard from the still-lit oven. The creaking grows ever more ominus until, with a final creak, the oven bursts open and four beings of fire spill out! Three look like massive living, mobile bonfires, tongues of flame reaching out in search of things to burn. The fourth is smaller and vaguely humanoid
all elemental traits
A fire elemental deals fire damage in addition to damage dealt on a successful hit in melee. Those affected by the burn ability must also succeed on a Reflex save or catch fire, taking the listed damage for an additional 1d4 rounds at the start of its turn. A burning creature can attempt a new save as a full-round action. Dropping and rolling on the ground grants a +4 bonus on this save. Creatures that hit a burning creature with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the burning creature and must make a Reflex save to avoid catching on fire.
This is a noble efreeti, but his long imprisonment has left the gleam of madness in his fiery eyes.
The three larger are defensive in their intent, but the fourth's crazed look clearly seeks blood.
"Whoa! Hello, my name is Garonok, but you can call me Mouse, and yours?"
OOOoooo... FIRE!
he may not be big on religion, but this is one subject he studied well.
the readied glade always has his morningstar in hand. and is ready to strike first, hopefully.

In a flurry of deadly attacks, all three fire-beings descend on Glade like a forest fire eating up wheat. In an amazing bit of luck, ha manages to dodge or deflect all but two. The first lands in the gut, forcing his defense to drop slightly. The second is square across the face.
The humanoid in the back casts a spell and vanishes before your eyes.
Also, because I'm a Armor master I have this
Fortification (Ex)
At 9th level, an armor master can use his armor to shield critical areas from injury. He treats any armor he wears as if it had the light fortification special ability. At 13th level, his armor gains the moderate fortification special ability. This fortification does not stack in any way with armor that has these special abilities. In these cases the armor master takes the better of the two fortifications.
This ability replaces weapon training 2 and 4. Level 13 ability, so 50%
"Oh no! You won't disappear on us!"
Ganorok takes a step back , and retrieves a scroll from his Handy Haversack . He intones the words on the scroll:
"Monstrat hostibus meis!"
Very good, Glade. Take 16 off that total. Please, any of you, do not be afraid to remind me of class features/feats/Etc that apply to the situation at hand. Keeping up with everyone's various and situational abilities is proving more difficult than I anticipated.
Mouse: a humanoid form appears to the left and ten feet up.
"There! There he is!"
Orionet grins and waves his wand.
Orionet then waves his hands and mutters in Celestial.
R preps himself to charge the caster, but stops when he sees Orionet encase him in stone. Then he contemplates joining Glade, but hesitates. He opts to ready his action to defend his casters against attacks and will attempt to bite anyone who enters melee range of them.

Wall: 10
The summoned lions set right to work on the elementals, tearing and snapping at the fire. The elemental's nature causes burns on the Lions, but they are determined.
The summons take some of the heat of Glade. Each elemental attacks the foe closest to it, leaving Glade only one set of attacks to avoid. He does avoid the first, but the second blow still connects. (for 22 fire. DC 22 reflex or take 2d10 fire damage for 1d4 rounds)
The Lions are almost helpless to avoid the Elementals, however. The south lion gets turned into a nice entree by the south elemental, and the North lion is left badly wounded and his mane is a bright wreath of flame. (he is on fire and will take more damage, but not go down at the start of his turn)
You can see the seams of the stone box conjured by Orionet start to melt as the trapped humanoid struggles to break free.
On his turn Ganorok grabs a Liquid Ice flask from his backpack, and throws it to the Elemental attacking Glade, trying to make the splash damage affect the Elemental that killed the summoned lion.
Seeing the small effect on the elemental Ganorok screams.
"Damn it! R! Don't get away from me! I'll cast a spell on you next round!"
