Quinn leads the way on the flight downward.
Apetir follows the Alpha downward feeling better now that he has a leader, of which he is not.
Ignoring the ledges and the brief thought of resting, you descend some 70 feet alongside the ropes, floating down under your own power. The ropes continue down another 80 feet to the floor of the next cave.
Small burning gas vents provide dim light in this vast chamber, and the air is noticeably warmer. The walls are broken and crumbling, rising in a series of crags around the edges of the chamber, some nearly climbing to the ceiling. The floor is covered in fine black sand interspersed with chunks of brittle stone. Near the bottom of the rope lies the charred and still smoldering carcass of some large humanoid-shaped creature. Another corpse, this one less badly burned, lies wedged among the rocks at the base of a nearby crag. Far to the north is a pair of tall bronze doors. One of them stands ajar.
"What do you think happened here?" Pems asks, looking closely at the burnt corpse before casting detect magic and scanning the dead.
Apetir insists on renewing his spent fire resistance with another hit from the wand. After that, he will fly about the area with his echolocation and looking for signs of what happened.
Perception
Survival
As Hektir moves into the cave, he notices two immense, wingless creatures with serpentine bodies. They rear up, obviously noticing him too, their triple tails and powerful talons swiping at the air.
They're crag linnorms!
They move to attack before he can react, though Pems and Quinn at least are even quicker, if further away .
Quinn calls on Cayden's help at the moment the new threat emerges.
"Holy crap, LINNORMS!" Pems barks in a higher than usual voice.
Pems hits Hektir with FORTUNE (roll twice, take the better roll once per round for a duration of two rounds!) and flies as far out of a blast range as he can to avoid clumping together with his comrades as he flies forward.
Malavarius spends two more charges from the wand to refresh the group's fire and lightning protections as they busy themselves with the remains of their erstwhile doubles. The old mages strokes his beard and remarks, "Well, lad, it looks like these people were melted. And recently, I might add."
When the linnorms reveal themselves, he grumps at them in draconic, "Blasted dragons! Get out of our way!"

Quinn and Pems react quickly, bolstering Hektir as best they can before the linnorms can do their worst -- which they do almost immediately, taking flight as they breath streams of magma that might prove deadly if not for your earlier precautions. One blast hits Hektir and Pems , the other Tsin and Mal .
Red: 3 rounds
Aqua: 2 rounds
Pems avoids the damage through sheer dumb luck!
He waits to see if Hektir is scorched. If he is, he flies close to him and casts Cure Mod Wounds on him! healing!
Reflex
Apetir dodges most of the fire, his fur not singeing from the lava thanks to the protections from Mal. He considers how to fight both dragons.
Pems, seeing Hektir is fine, rethinks his actions and decides to fly to the right and uses his FORTUNE hex on himself!

Tsin takes the magma fully in her face, amazed that she can still keep her eyes open, though she can sense the strain between the elemental force and the magical weave protecting her. Adding insult to injury, the creature with the ability to constrict her is the same creature that magically resists any attempt on their person.
"Maybe we lure them to this side of the cavern, then blink ourselves beyond them? Unless one of you can explode them out of our way? I am more than willing to retreat if we want to consider non-confrontational approaches..."
Tsin drifts upwards, and closer to the hole above, breaking line with her companions, in case further magma is at the ready. "Unless Baba Yaga can call off her dogs?"
The magma sticks to you, continuing to burn.
Quinn quickly heals the party, then unleashes a blast of ice shards against the creatures.
"Thrice blighted lizards!" Malavarius grumps in draconic. With the two linnorms near to one another, the old mage extends his staff and sends a roaring blast of lightning leaping between the pair.
He then shakes his arm, trying to dislodge some of the clinging magma. "What the- is this lava? Good heavens!" As he tries in vain to dislodge some of the stuff, he turns to Tsin and frowns, "Look what they got on my robe! I've a mind to teach these overgrown salamanders a lesson, my dear!"

Round 1
Apetir quickcasts a Resist Fire 30, to back up his protections should his fire shield fail. He sizes up his opponents, wishing he had another viable spell versus the dragons, but he does not. He tries to position himself in front of Mal and Pems of course, and Quinn the Alpha as well.
He moves back to near Tsin (but not in an easy place to line up with her) and hopes to use the terrain to aid their tactics.
He takes total defense.

Tsin finds little comfort in her companions' decision to stand their ground. "Ah, so you have enough magical energy to destroy them where they perch? Their size is daunting, I'll give them that."
She drifts cautiously enough towards the right, thirty feet forward, maintaining the same altitude with Quinn, thirty feet from the priest. Then she readies an attack, in case one of the beasts tries to reach out against her from a great distance.
"I don't imagine they'll have much difficulty in snatching me out of the air. All due apologies, Quinn."

Tsin advances as Hektir falls back into a protective stance, Pems taking up a supportive stance behind them.
Quinn and Mal let loose with their magic, though the ice strike seems to just melt away as it hits the linnorm's hide. Mal's spell is more effective, though the surprisingly lithe dragons manage to avoid the worst of the lightning -- and start healing almost immediately, scales regrowing where they were blasted off!
As the magma continues to burn Hektir, Tsin and Mal , the two linnorms close in, both of them biting at Hektir, who barely manages to avoid their sharp teeth.
Red: 20, 2 rounds
Aqua: 20, 1 round
"Die you foul snake!" Quinn points the finger of death at one of the beasts.
Reflex
Round 3
Apetir flaps in to attack the one that Quinn’s spell targeted, seeking to end one threat at a time. He hopes Tsin also targets this one.

Tsin gauges the gargantuans' reach, so move as close as Hektir is to them, though still about 20' to Hektir's right. Avoiding the opportunity for a tail to lash out at her while she moves, she comes to a stop, mid-air, and readies an attack against anything that lashes out at her.

Tsin closes in as Hektir flaps even closer in the wake of Mal and Quinns's spells, which sends one of the two linnorms plummeting lifelessly to the ground. Unfortunately for the Caydenite, he feels a shadow seem to pass over him as the life goes out of the dragon's eyes .
The remaining linnorm floats back and sprays magma again, catching Hektir and Quinn in its blast .
Aqua: 104, 2 rounds
Malavarius gestures toward the remaining linnorm with his staff and a shimmering sword appears in the air beside it, hewing once as soon as it materializes. "Foolish lizards! You should have let us be!"

Tsin maintains her distance, moving 5' closer to the big lizard, and readying for another incoming attack.
Quinn winces as the magma bounces off of him. Confident that his companions will defeat the remaining lizard he adds a few bolts to help end it quickly.
Pems finishes his summoning and summons a triceratops to flank with Hektir!

The triceratops plummets to the ground and slams into the hard ground painfully, but the linnorm seems so stunned by its appearance and swift descent that it's not ready for Hektir's attack. With a little more help from Quinn and Mal, they manage to slay the last linnorm.
As the burning magma continues to drip off Quinn and Hektir , the latter feels the dragon's death curse fall over him .

Malavarius huffs as the second linnorm drops. ”Stupid, senseless would-be dragons! Good grief what a waste!” He then looks to the group, ”Did either of those wingless snakes curse any of you?”
The last of Apetir’s fire protections burn away and the rest is eaten by other fire shieldings. He still insists on another layer of protections from Mal’s wand even though he is already doubly protected.
Things are getting hotter and hotter.
Apetir is not cursed by anything other than his companions.

First Quinn helps the party search the cavern including the fallen heroes.
After the search is completed he turns his attention to the double bronze doors that are ajar. "Let's at least peek through the open doors before we consider resting?" Stealthily he approaches the doors.
Looking over the two corpses, the larger one appears to be so immolated that nothing of its gear remains. The smaller corpse, a human woman, however, still appears to be mostly intact. Her armor -- a +2 mithral shirt -- and a rod of thunder and lightning can be recovered, though the former especially needs cleaning.
The rest of the linnorms’ hoard lies atop the highest crag in the southwest corner of the room. This pile consists of druid’s vestments, gloves of arcane striking, a horn of antagonism, a potion of protection from cold, a potion of slipstream, a golden brooch engraved with the coat of arms of Irrisen (worth 80 gp), an amethyst necklace (worth 1,100 gp), three large topazes (worth 200 gp each), 120 pp, 3,800 gp, 5,250 sp, and 10,040 cp.
Beyond the doors, the path appears to continue as a hallway beyond Quinn's sight.
"Wait, I think Hektir can be a Linnorm king now. All he has to do is drag the head back and blammo, they crown you there. It's a thought." Pems adds.
Malavarius harumpfs and frowns at the treasure, which, as their so-called adventures continue on, seems to mean less and less to him. "Bah. Trinkets and baubles. What good did they do you, hmm?!" He shouts this last question back down at the corpses of the linnorms. "Fools the lot of them."
He brushes his robe off then tugs on his beard as Quinn examines the way forward. "Those greedy salamanders took the last of my more offensive magics, I'm afraid. I've little left but some spells to inure us to the elements once more and a handful of others to perhaps unweave any magics that might be turned against us."
Apetir looks at Mal, then at Quinn. He waits for the Alpha to decide what is best, resting or pushing on.
He's used very little of his own magics, but knows the masculine power of Quinn overrides his own desires.
"Rest sounds like a good idea. All this smoke and fire has made me dreadfully parched. Plus this chamber is warm, not some frosty winter bitten cave." Quinn produces a bottle of 'shine and starts on the first part of the plan.
