Taking 10's to automatically aid Seraphina in Spellcraft and Arcana, Ingvarr asks, "Do you think we will go immediately into combat? I could use a few preparatory spells before we activate the stone if that is the case."
Seraphina made a scoffing sort of laugh, "It is possible to over-prepare, I learned that from the last battle. Remember she said it is a marathon, not a sprint. Conserve resources until you need them." She advised.
Staying close to Hundor, she also cast her Shield and prepared to fight. AC 23 for 5 minute or 50 round duration
Once Hundor announced they were Earth elementals, she prepared to do physical damage.

7 of the elementals are destroyed so far. No AoO as they charge those in melee first and then follow around. There is a damaged one and an unhurt one in front of Seraphina.
The trio of skalds sound their horns in a powerful triad, lifting your spirits once more and strengthening you resolve for the fight! They then move in position behind the front line fighters, horn at the ready should the injuries become serious.
(Second use of Raging Song -- standard action)

Round 3: Rognar begins casting enlarge person and gives Sable gets a bit of luck: he can roll an extra d20 on all of his attacks and take the best one.
Rognar boosts Saronis. Koldur misses and opens himself to Attack of Opportunity, as the two slam him! He takes a minor wound of 5 damage. Seraphina takes one of the elemental down that are before her. Olivira comes over to help Seraphina taking down the hurt one and hurting the other. Now only one elemental is between Olivira and Seraphina. Ingvarr is boosting the group and looks for someone to heal. This is up to you sir. Yolanda has accepted all the bonuses and skewers one of the elementals on her halberd. Then gets ready to dismember the other one. Saronis is hit but that doesn't stop him from severing the two before him in half. Hundor only gets to focus on the one before him...
He has been accepting the rage and all the bonuses. Once he is large he roars in excitement. He moves in his new larger form around to give Koldur flanking and can strike the closest elemental beside Koldur.
As you likely will finish off the elementals in the previous round the voice comes back, "Wave two will commence in five, four, three, two, one..." Then you can hear a flute play and the doors open again releasing 5 medium earth elementals that seem almost to swim through the floor like the others before them. Then right after them three large earth elementals. Map to be updated soon.
Raging Song 2 + Lingering Song 2 / Battle Cry 1, round 5
Having healed Seraphina 2 points in Round 4, Ingvarr repeats his action in Round 5 as the next set of elementals prepares to arrive.
Raging Song 3 / Battle Cry 1, round 6
Staying behind the front line, the Skald Trio renews its inspiring song as the next wave crashes against the front line (using a raging song round).
Please keep me informed of your injuries if you want to be involved in Ingvarr's healing benevolence.

Round 6
Koldur snorts in amusement at Sable's ribbing of him. He was getting rusty and he knew it but it didn't mean his skills were in decline!
With Rognar's spell giving him a sudden surge in both strength and reach, he grins in thanks to his fellow dwarf as he smashes his axe at the next wave of foes...

His axes sing in tandem as they are swung at high speeds against the incoming elementals. First Moonshine slams against then and barely a second later in the exact same spot the maul axe is rammed hard against the hard rocky hide of the elemental. His axes whirls in the air as Koldur manipulates them skillfully to his sides to allow the access momentum to bleed off and allow him to prepare yet another slicing attack.
Before Olivira can finish off the elemental it gets one more swing at Yolonda.

The rest of you may act, as I move the elementals forward. The three medium earth elementals left are vaguely humanoid and one charges Hundor. The other two just lumber forward. The three large elementals move to the center of the tower where there is a small decline to a lower part. They each hit their arms to the ground and a fourth emerges from behind them.
Round 7
The elemental misses and he slashes it again with devestating effect. To the point where coins begin to fall from the ceiling or at least a level above them.
He moves towards the large elementals. Easily walking over the small wall, fence, and to his target. He brings his sword down upon it. Hoping to disrupt whatever they are doing.
The halberd's axe blade cuts deep into the elemental but not enough to take it down.
Round 8
She charges at the blue elemental that is near her charge. She almost falls prone as the target ducks and she misses. As it can't recover properly to hit well either.
Raging Song 3 Lingering Song 1 / Battle Cry 1, round 7
As the larger elementals make their appearance, Ingvarr and his harmonizers launch a glittering spell into their midst, affecting the Purple, Green, and Red elementals with an explosion of sparkles (Glitterdust, 10 foot radius gets 3).

Raging Song 4 / Battle Cry 1, round 9
Ingvarr follows the front line forward, keeping back a few steps to give himself maximum mobility. His trio trills a staccato burst of raging song from their signal horns to maintain the group's battle fervor.
Round 7
With his size once more back to normal, Koldur dances forward and bashes both his weapons at the next target. A rather large elemental.

Round 9
Koldur doesn't miss a step as his size shrinks down once more and he lashes out to catch his opponents off guard as they once more try to track his actual size.... Being so close to them he doesn't have to worry much about not getting his hits in since he had already accounted for it.

There is no indicator that the glitterdust did or did not blind the elementals. Ingvarr and Rognar continue to heal and boost. Koldur smashes into the large elemental before him though he can tell the hard surface of the elementals damage is reducing his damage. Though his last two attacks did not hit solid enough sliding off the massive natural armor of the elemental. Rognar with 20 feet speed I think you can cast the spell on Koldur with no problems but would have to hit Sable with Barkskinn on Round 9.
Round 9
The elementals raise their massive arms and provoke attacks of opportunity. Then the arms come down and smash into the floor. Out from behind them two more medium elementals emerge. As this happens those near the large elementals can easily see the green glow from the floor as it turns into a crystal or rather reveals the crystal below the floor.
As Olivira steps onto the slanted floor the elementals seem to get agitated and a bit flightily.
The elementals turn towards the closest threat raise their arms and bring them down upon each of you. Those who can't reach a target move out and around to find a target. The elemental in the far back seems to move forward and glide into the ground. Then it emerges next to Olivira. I changed it so they could only summon smaller versions.
He focuses on the two threats before him slicing with his greatsword around to cleave, destroying the one he has already hurt. He misses with the second strike.
Attacking the last immediate threat taking off one of its arms, and it seems to not have much effect on the elemental.
+1 greatsword:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 damage:1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Round 9
Swinging again he strikes through the elemental making it fall into a pile of rocks and dirt.
+1 greatsword:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 damage:1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
"Are you good over there Yolanda?" He calls and asks, then with an affirmative he moves forward.
Round 10
He will attempt to tumble to not provoke an attack of opportunity and then swing into the elemental with Koldur.

Seraphina slashes with her claws taking down the two medium elementals with Hundor.
Round 9
Charging forward with Hundor you see his tumbling draws the attention of the large elemental, luckily you can move in safely. Leaving you an option to attack or prepare another spell before entering combat in the center of the room.
Hearing Hundor scream in pain, Ingvarr steps back slightly (5 foot step diagonal) to be adjacent to him and uses his horn to heal his comrade, not wanting to cast a spell so close to the large elemental. He then draws his bow, ready to shoot the next round.
Round 10
Koldur grabs this chance to attack the opening affored to him by the Elemental.

With that done, a quick barrel roll that brings him up against the remaining large elemental and slams Moonshine against its foot as the aged dwarf regains his feet.
Round 11
With his target right in front of him and his blood surging with the joy of battle, Koldur gets right in its face with a display of pure martial ferocity!
Axes twirl and weave as they gets slammed one by one into its rocky hide seeking a weak point.

On a positive note the group acts before the elementals. So no one gets hit by big dark red. Your AoOs don't happen though.
The front large elemental took a beating from Koldur, Hundor, and Seraphina and they laid it low. It fell into a pile of rubble and dirt at your feet. Koldur takes the momentum and moves towards the next one but not without taking threat though it fumbles at the strike.
Round 11
Koldur hits with moonshine but does not gain purchase with the maulaxe. Hundor gains healing from three sources and waves off the goodberries then he moves in after Koldur at the last moment going for a tumble too before striking, though just as Koldur the round before could not safely make it to the giant.
As the large elemental strikes Olivira its second arm slams into the ground and over tilts the large thing. Opening it to AoO, taking Hundor's and Koldur's AoO from before that weren't being used. It is badly damaged...
Round 12
Koldur finish it! Then Hundor will work on the mediums...
The halberd's axe blade misses the elemental. As she charges she announces, "I could use a moderate amount of healing if possible." Then groans as she misses the target, as her axe cuts down the side of the rock.
Koldur's attacks are relentless as he peruse his target with a tenacity the elemental is ill prepared for. A fluffy of slashes assail the rocky hide! Each blow aimed at the same precise spot as before. Slowly but surely, the Rocky hide would give way.

"Those of you who needs healing, fall back and heal up!" Koldur calls out.
He moves forward now that the large elemental is down and cleaves from left to right.
+1 greatsword:1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 3 = 21 damage:1d10 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
The one Sable hit is destroyed with his first strike but the second medium elemntal still stands after he strikes its stoney hide. Maybe Seraphina will finish it off?
The voice from before comes on again as it echoes through the large chamber. "You have survived two waves so far and it seems you may have learned an objective to stop the elementals from calling in more of their number. In the next wave there will be another new objective. You have two options before you. Skip the next two waves and the restoration rooms, going straight up to the next floor. Or continue to wave three. You have 20 seconds to decide and vote, most votes wins. Raise your right arm above your head and your vote to be tallied to skip to the next room. Skipping restoration rooms open more treasure rooms ahead."
"I would say skipping waves would be best. Also after that channel most of us should be good. Right?" He suggests and asks, then sits down to rest a moment. "We are limited on the spells we can produce."
