Now Edmund spits on EE2 and entangles it. Reflex save DC 18 or be stuck to the floor (not really sure how that should interact with earth glide).
Ziera sees Payk fall, and she steps into his square, protecting his body with her own, dropping her own bow and drawing her sword as she does so.
She swings at EE2
Missing completely.
In that case, Ziera does not drop her bow, stays where she is, and shoots at EE1 again, obviously still missing.
Gray lifted the glass case, still invisible (why wouldn't he be?). After snatching up the next scroll, he started to make his way back across the room, wondering if the elementals would follow them out into the corridor and onto the platform.
Antonio moves with uncharacteristic grace, diving past the elemental (EE2).
While no combatant, he moves to assist Vince in taking down the earth elemental.
Ziera attacks EE1 again.
Edmund calls out, ”Vince, make yourself some space,” and he begins casting enlarge person from his wand again.
Antonio moves to distract the elemental, hoping to draw it's attention to give Vince an opening.
At Edmund’s turn, Vince again grows to twice his size.
Then Edmund casts an acid splash at the elemental, but there’s cover.
Ziera attempts to move to D9 without getting an AOO.
Then she attacks.
Missing again.
Gray called out to the others, still making his way past. "I have it, time to go!" Although it didn't seem as though the second elemental would fare any better than the first, it might still be better to disengage. Regardless, Gray would save his invisibility and continue out the entryway, letting the others attack the elemental or retreat at their choosing.
The last thing Antonio wanted was an Earth Elemental following them. "Vince, let's bring this thing down."
Gray, can you hand Edmund the scroll so he can see if it is legitimate?
Gray had the presence of mind to not nod at Ziera's request, handing the scroll over to the old, bookish fellow after the others had polished off the remaining elemental. It hardly seemed like his invisibility was needed, but he kept it up...one could never be too careful.
Edmund casts detect magic to study the scroll's auras.
Once that's done (assuming it hasn't been an hour since they retrieved Payk's bow), he has his unseen servant take the scroll a safe distance and unroll it.
After reading it, if it appears to be some sort of contract, he does the spark test. If it's something else, he holds off on igniting it.
”I believe I now know enough about these fakes that I should be able to recognize the true contract when we find it.”
"Excellent. We should find the real one soon enough then. Shall we head to the next room?"
Gray headed out with the group when they decided to move along, wanting to get another room or two cleared before his invisibility wore off. Just because things had been relatively low key so far didn't mean they would continue to be.
So, to get the bridge to move again, I think we all have to be on it... maybe? Let's try that, but make sure to hold on tight this time, and make sure your stuff is secure.
She walks onto the bridge, but not off it to the other side, holds on, and waits for everyone else to be on the bridge.
Edmund brings his unseen servant onto the bridge and sits down, leaning against one of the force walls. He holds his cane tightly in one hand, with the other firmly on top of his head, holding his hat.
Ziera steps off and splashes this door with acid as well, but does it twice, so there are two acid burn marks rather than one. She then casts Open on the door from a distance to see if it will open.
Ziera moves up to the end of the corridor, not entering the room yet, but looking in.
Ziera moves into the room and shoots at the Salamander.
She misses, but she hopes she is still distracting enough for Gray to do his job.
Edmund has to double move up to there, just to be able to see into the room.
Gray slid into the room, wondering what kind of shenanigans this beast could be capable of. He tapped Ziera's elbow very lightly as he passed near her, to let her know he was in the room. The inquisitor almost thought it would make more sense for him to just help kill the thing, but he'd keep up the invisible parade, for now.
Payk rushes in and put an arrow into the salamander.
Vince double moves to get next to the salamander.
Antonio runs into the room, placing himself next to Ziera.
"Are you alright?"
Sneaking up behind the beast, the inquisitor winced as it struck Ziera firmly, its heat scorching her even further. Still, once Vince was in position, Gray struck out with his weapon, becoming visible as he whipped the chain at the beast.
Ziera responds to Antonio
Yeah, I'm okay.
She then takes a 5-foot step and attacks again.
Edmund takes a rod from his pack and casts acid arrow, the rod turning it into cold magic.
+ whatever if it has cold vulnerability
Payk studies the salamander and then launches an arrow
