Szzlax follows behind, seeing Yig going slowly to be quite Szz does the same.
Yig and Szz silently venture into the tunnel.
Ryzztyl follows along behind the others, preparing his magic.
Oozulla's slave goes one as the 3rd one, while his mistress goes as 4th, then Mikmek follows them leaving the end of the line to Ryzztyl.
As Yig approaches the end of the secret tunnel he is able to open it inside Tartuk's quarters.
Unfortunately Tartuk is not near the entrance, being into the shrine, looking fully aware of your coming.
The purple kobold evilly smiles towards the fighter while brandishing his mwk Sickle.
"So, you are here... after all you survived the Mites...I'll have to finish their job!"
His eyes locking on the purple scaled charlatan Yighukiskar charges forth. His wiry muscles, full of divine energies, drive him across the room with unbelievable speed.
Slave get out of tunnel first and started moving forward, waiting command from Oozulla.
As he felt an arcane power, he let the arrow fly.
Yighuk's mighty charge hits the purple shaman dealing him 4 damage
Although the guidance spell helped his aim, the Slave's arrow is deflected by a mysterious force, saving the purple shaman.
As Mikmek comes out from the tunnel he doesn't use his bow, but instead he continues to move to get a better position, blocking the northern exit with his darkwood longspear in his hand.
The distance to the imposter being what it was, Ryzztyl moves to join Mikmek by the northern exit. Out of sight for the moment, but close enough that his power could come into play soon enough.
Hoping the shaman has yet to move Yighuk attacks where he last saw him.
He then moves to block the southern entrance.
"Cowardly gnome! Your tricks will only lengthen your suffering!"
Yighukiskar's hope vanishes when he is able to hit only the air.
So he decides to move blocking the entrance as better as he can.
Oozulla bind several arcane terms together and shadow wall grew behind Yighukiskar's back, cutting part of cave system. It was decorated by snakes heads that were constantly opening their mouths and show their poisonous tongues.
Slave took his sword and ran forward, looking for invisible creature and trying to hear, where it is.
Oozulla conjures her wall of shadows and snakes.
Oozulla's slave moves trying to locate the invisible foe.
But he is not able to pinpoint the purple shaman.
Mikmek moves to better close the northern exit, shoulder to shoulder with Ryzztyl.
Updated map
Yighukiskar's mouth twists into a toothy smile at the amazing wall Oozulla conjured behind him. Truly the Great Shadow had blessed her with power.
Szzlax stands waiting for a target listening to see if he can get a feel for where the fake went.
Although his extreme perceptiveness Szzlax is not able to pinpoint the location of the purple enemy.
Ryzztyl casts a spell and gazes towards the area where the imposter had so recently been.
Of course you are able to detect the presence of at least one magical aura.
The echoes of some magical words goes throw the entire cavern.
You are sure the enemy should be in this new square here
The sound of chanting draws Yighukiskars attention and he bursts into action to take advantage of the opportunity.
Oozulla tried to recognize echoing words of arcane magic
Yighukiskar's first dagger and bite hit only the air, while the second attack with the dagger and the and tail razor hit something more consistent splitting some blood in the ground.4 & 5 damages
The second hit also ends the arcane words pronunciation in a shout of pain, but the purple kobold is still invisible.
Oozulla is not able to recognize what spell was being casted.
Oozulla's slave moves to attack from where he saw blood coming out, but his shortsword pass only throughout the air.
Mikmek moves to attack with his longspear too. But even his strike only hits the air too.
Szzlax powerful assault is deflected by a force effect and miss his target.
Oozulla moved closer, continued concentrating on the wall to keep it in place.
Ryzztyl continues concentrating on his spell.
Both Ryzztyl and Oozulla continue to concentrate on their spells.
Spellcraft check: You are able to identify the spell who Tartuk was casting, it was a Summon Eidolon spell.
Detect Magic: 6 auras are in the cone, the stronger is a Moderate aura.
2 small sized infernal rats appear from nowhere without having you hear any magical words.
They tries to bite Yig and Szz but both the kobolds are able to avoid them.
Ignoring the vermin Yighuk continues to try and strike the invisible prophet.
Yig's multiple attacks pass throughout the air.
Giving a throaty growl Yighuk snaps, "He's moved again."
Ryzztyl hisses upon hearing the traitor has moved. "He was trying to summon a creature, an eidolon. It is good that you stopped him." He continues to look through the area.
Map with Auras
Now the Auras are 8 and no more 6. I've used the numbers in the map to summarize their locations:
Point 1 - 4 Auras: Moderate Illusion, Moderate Evocation, Faint Conjuration, Faint transmutation
Point 2 - 2 Auras: Faint Illusion, Faint Abjuration
Point 3 - 1 Aura: Faint Conjuration (obviously the summoned dire rat)
Point 4 - 1 Aura: Faint Conjuration (obviously the summoned dire rat)
Both squares 1 and 2 are clear on normal sight, so you probably can't state which one is Tartuk.
Ryzztyl hisses in frustration as he locates the sources of the magic auras. He had not been expecting two unseen areas that could be the gnome. Unable to see them, he couldn't even consider what spells or items they could be related to. He wracked his brain for any information on the spell he knew was active, invisibility, but was unable to recall anything useful.
"Oozulla!" he called out. "There is something or someone ten feet south-southwest of you!"
"Mikmek!" he continued. "There could be something 15 feet west-northwest of you, twenty feet south-southwest of me."
There was little else he could do at this point, his concentration on the spell, preventing him from acting. Still, he could keep his eyes open, so to speak, to see if either source moves.
Mikmek hearing Ryzztyl's words 5ft steps back and tries to strike the point with his longspear. He hits only the air, but it's hard to tell if he miss simply because of the concealment of an invisible foe or instead because it's not the right location where Tartuk is.
Map with the 2 probable positions of Tartuk
Szzlax hisses in irritation as the fake once again slinks away. Instead he focuses on the oversized rat that he can see.
The fiendish rat is barely able to dodge Szzlax's powerful blow.
Expecting an attack, she prepared one of the strongest curses she had and waited for her doom.
The slave moves to protect her mistress, and while doing so he risks of being attacked by both the rats. Luckily for him, only one of them is able to bite him for 2 damage. Ignoring the pain he is finally able to reach her mistress.
The rats continue trying to attack Szzlax and Yighukiskar, but both miss.
A stone from the floor lifts up near the point where Mikmek previously struck , revealing a hidden recess with some valuable coins and other items (a shield, a crossbow, some boots and a bag).
Meanwhile the echoes of some other arcane words goes across the entire cavern. But the pronunciation time is not so long as previously was, and makes harder to everybody to understand from where the enemy is speaking...
Szzlax shouts at the rat, having missed it before, then tries to smash it once again.
Even this time Szzlax isn't able to hit the rat with his powerful attack...
Scanning the room and not seeing his true target Yighukiskar stabs down at the rat near him.
"Mikmek! Close that bolt hole, he must want something from within!"
Only the tail razor hits the rat for 3 damage... not enough to incapacitate the fiendish animal.
Oozulla listened to words carefully, trying to understand what has been cast.
Now able to see objects where one of the aura groups were, Ryzztyl concentrates further to determine if the source of the magic relates to the items within the cache. He keeps his awareness on the other auras as well, in order to point out the location of the second important one.
