The party lands several hits on the elemental by the corridor.
Vince and Payk go on the offensive, with Payk dropping his bow and wielding a short sword. They both land a hit. Vince also takes a step towards Payk to try to flank the enemies there.

Any kind of clever tactics were out the window now. It was just a matter of wearing down these mobile earthmounds. The inquisitor again launched his spiked chain at the adversary he and Ziera were attacking.
The elementals strike back, but with little luck. Only Vince, still nursing his hand, is hit. It's a crushing blow though, and Vince stumbles back against the wall, his feet barely keeping him up.

Gray looked at Vince with a little concern, shaking his head as he started to grin at the obvious crushing amounts of pain the man must be in. Now was not the time to indulge in sadistic glee. He snapped his chain forward at the elemental once more, hoping to drop at least one of the enemies before the group was overwhelmed.

The acid burns EE1 for 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 damage before fading.
EE4 takes 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 Damage (3 of 4).
”Payk, move away from those two,” Edmund says, and readies a create pit to catch them. He’s hoping they won’t be able to earth glide through the extra-dimensional walls of the pit. They each need to make a Reflex save DC 19.
The other elementals resume attacking. Vince takes a crushes blow that knocks him to the floor. Payk is also struck by a glancing blow. Gray evades the attack against him.

Somewhat retroactive post for flavor
Vince shakes his arm, still numb from when he smashed it into the wall. ----ing Blackjacket trained and I hit a ----ing wall. He raises his other arm to protect against the counter strike, but that blow felt like it broke his arm. He winces, and his energy fades quickly. He does a quick survey, and smiles as Edmund's pit eliminates two elementals from the fight, for now at least. Three left. I can't hold out much longer. Gray and Ziera good. Payk ok, but fading. Antonio shouldn't be here. He starts to take another stirke at the elemental but his arm won't move. He stops himself and moves back a step instead. Need to get to allies.
The darkness is coming even before the elemental strikes him. couldn't even make it to the animagi...
Ziera has always been doubtful about Vince, thinking that he could be a traitor, so she briefly considers just letting him die. But she just can't do it. He might be a true ally, and anyway, they needed his sword.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
She tumbles over to him, evading swings from the lumbering elementals, and casts

Cure Moderate Wounds on Vince.

Then she braces herself, knowing that she has just put herself in harm's way.
That whole turn was amazingly heroic until that last stupid roll. All of that for 8 freaking points, really? I guess he is at least stabilized. Ugh.

Antonio steps back. The situation was dire now - not the simple fights that had gotten them this far.
I suppose, in my lost memory, something like this occurred as well. Bah, knowing half of this group, it likely happened multiple times. Still, eventually, I would have to come clean. Antonio thinks.
Extending his finger in a shape akin to a pistol, Antonio commands his arcane potential to burst Arcane Strike. Electricity crackles around his hand, before accumulating at the nail, and subsequently firing off two shots at the earth elemental in front of Vince EE5.

Seeing Ziera tumble her way over to Vince's side and somehow manage to avoid a tangle of earthen limbs as she cast a spell of healing on the fading warrior, Gray stepped around the enemy they had been fighting to cut it off, keeping it from being able to flank the brave woman. He whipped his chain at it once more, ready and willing to tear it apart piece by piece. The thought was actually a pleasant one, come to think of it.
Vince stabilizes after a miraculous save from Ziera, though he remains unconscious.
A sueddenly heroic Antonio leads the rest of the party in successful attacks against the elementals. Together Gray’s strike and Edmund’s acid burn take down EE4.

Edmund should have been moved up to near the end of the corridor back in round 2, but I’m usually on my phone as well so can’t move him. Can somebody slide him forward (to 10 feet south of the elemental)?
While EE4 is the looming threat, EE1 is sporting many cracks. Edmund fires an arcane bolt at one of the larger fissures.

Gray followed Edmund's lead and continued to assault the damaged elemental, hoping to turn the tide and lessen the number of enemy attacks and continue to whittle the tough things down.
Ziera takes a 5-foot step to stand over Vince's unconscious body, providing protection to him and flanking to two of her teammates.
I actually don't know if you can 5-foot step into a square with a body or not, so here is an acrobatics roll in case I need to do it that way instead: Acrobatics:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Gray managed to keep the grim smile off his face as he glanced at the unconscious Vince and the lovely Ziera taking a glancing blow from one of the remaining elementals. He could relish the pain later. Right now they had to dispose of the remaining enemies before they themselves were disposed of.
The remaining elementals keep fighting, apparently unshaken by the fall of their allies. Gray is hit by a blow, but Payk, even distracted by Antonio’s bolt, manages to avoid a potentially fatal blow.

Gray just grinned as the elemental struck him heavily, already feeling the flesh underneath his armor starting to bruise from the impact. Seeing that the creature/thing was missing several chunks already, the inquisitor was determined to continue adding to its injuries. Partially as payment in kind for the blow he took, and partly just because he would enjoy doing so.
