Seelah's strike hits and once more doesn't seem to do as much damage as she hopes.

Hiko gives start of suprise when Estra cries out behind her. The cleirc turns just in time to see all of her companions gang up on the now moving statue. She gives a small curse in Ulfen and moves in behind Sheelah. "Sheelah I'm going to boost your strength for a bit, try not to go too crazy!"

Bock attacks, but his assault hits, and does no damage at all!

Honaire glides just a short distance to the side to take advantage of a flank with Bock. He again bludgeons his ectoplasmic form against the statue.
Estra loads up another magical stone, flinging it at the demon statue.

Hiko gives the paladin a nod and then takes a second to fish out a stick of wood that is carved almost like a flame. She steps in closer to the statue getting right in between Sheelah and Honaire. Looking back at Estra, she comments. "I'm going to touch your husband again, but only if you're okay with it." If the cleric gets permission she reaches over and pulls the power of Irori into the ectoplasmic creature. She then tries to wipe the resulting goop off her hands. If she doesn't she reaches over and pulls the power of Irori into Sheelah again.
Smiling as the beasts claws scrape across her armor, she advises "You'll have to do better than that!" as her sword raises high.
Feeling Irori's might channeling through her, she flashes a knowing smile. "My turn! I'll show how this is done!" Slashing her blade across the creature, it's flesh parting, she lets out a cry of triumph.
"Yipee! Now that's how you do it!"
Daedin's first arrow hits and does some damage. Honaire's first strike hits and does no damage, while Estra's does the same! The Red Raven's cold iron sword hits, but does no damage at all, while Seelah hits and does a very little damage! Hiko buffs Seelah!
Round 4:
The demonish stone thing howls with combat fervor and throws itself against the Red Raven!

Daedin's shots both hit, but only the second does any damage!
The Red Raven's first hit shatters the stone creature, who crumbles into a host of pebbles! The room becomes silent as the creature dies!
Picking through the pile of remaining beast, Seelah looks for anything useful.
"Well...that was different. Everyone ok?" she asks over her shoulder.

Oh? A curative stick? Well, here. Let me give you a hand." replies the paladin. Reaching out to take the wand from Bock, she taps it with it. "Hmm...perhaps I did that wrong..."
Tapping him again, and then a third time with nothing happening, she frowns. "I'm sorry, I've...this has never happened to me before. I've always been able to activate wands of the blessed gods...." Confused, she hands the wand back.
Timidly, she pulls out her own wand. Gingerly touching it to the Tengu's beak, it lights up and his beak begins to slowly straighten back out. "Hmm...I think your wand must be broken sir."
Glancing to her companions and seeing a variety of bruises, she shrugs. "Here, this might help." She proceeds to lead them away from the fallen foe. Then, holding her symbol out for all to see, she whispers a brief prayer. A blinding light engulfs her and spreads outward.

Hiko walks up to the paladin and asks to see if she can do something with it. Giving it a test on Bock, her face lights up. "Oh this is a wand of infernal healing! It seems like it's working fine, too! " Looking around at Bock and Sheelah, she blinks a few times before it dawns on her. Blushing slightly over her possible mistake she asks quietly, "Wait was I not supposed to say that?"
Quickly deciding to move on from her faux pas, the cleric flourishes two wands, one a bright red and the other an icy blue. "If anyone needs, I have a few wands of healing... the non-evil kind, of course!" Having relapsed back to that subject she looks over at Estra and the blood she's slowly leaking. "Estra you took a hit there, want me to pacth you up?"
Expanding her gaze to the rest of the party she continues. "I've always got them at the ready if you need, but let me know if you want the hot one or the cold one."

"No, dearie, the paladin's channeling healed me up good. All set now, see?"
Estra--without any self-consciousness--pulls up her blouse in the back to show how the damage has all been healed.
Estra moves up by Daedin, trying to get a better look at the large hallway at this end of the room. "Where to now?"
Before you go, Hiko spots a strange niche behind the snake-man statue. Investigating, she finds a large pearl and a wand etched with images of a cloud blowing air! Both radiate magic!
Estra studies both of the items that Hiko found. "Good eye, missy. You must eat your carrots, eh?"
"Well, did you bring some? I can activate a wand for you." She looks at all of the others who have used and offered to use various types of healing wands. "Of course, any of these fine folks can too."

Hiko strides up to the man she still doesn't quite recognize. "Oh, then I am more than happy to help! Which do you want, the warm one or the cool one?" She trusts an icy blue and fiery red wand at the man letting him take his pick.
Blushing slightly at the compliment from her elder, Hiko mumbles something about recognizing things easily, and her love of orange vegetables.

Hilo walks up to the man in red and decides to give him a shot or of the warming wand. She waves the red wand and with a flick produces a tiny flame on the end of it. She the prods the flame into the Red Raven. There's a momentary sense of sharp heat before it fades into a lingering warmth. Hikone frowns as the wand barely does any healing to the man. She gives him another jab, and then another, followed by two more. "Hmm, maybe this wands the one that's defective..."

"Infernal Healing? Oh...well I suppose that explains it." remarks the paladin, eyeing her companions weerily. "Well...I suppose since you bled a demon for it...it's ok....just as long as you killed the beast in question..."
Glancing around, she turns a couple shades of green. "Just...please don't use it too much, ok? I've a bit of an allergy to those things."
Giving the tainted members a wider berth, she follows them along the path; sword at the ready.
Daedin scouts to the north, spotting stairs down into a great hall. Petrified oak banquet tables and benches form long lines in this large chamber. On a raised platform stands a large ceramic bowl, covered in runes and full of a greenish-yellow substance.
There's evidence of the substance being disturbed sometime in the last hour.
Estra follows Daedin in; she too investigates the substance. "Within the last hour, you say? Hmmm... we're not alone in here, for sure."

Hiko returns the Red Raven's bow and then comments "It was no problem. I'm glad I could help."
As soon as Daedin has cleared the room for everyone to enter, Hiko moves up to the bowl. she examines it for a moment, curious as to what the runes might be. When Estra comes in and looks at the substance in the bowl, Hiko also takes a look at it. "Want some help with that?"
________
The substance looks like a gruel or a paste. It smells vaguely like vanilla. Hiko thinks it may be food. The runes are arcane in nature and seem to be of the Conjuration school.
Daedin spots some faint tracks going from this room to the west; it looks like a frequently used path.
Staying back a bit as the scouts take lead, Seelah scans the room for signs of evil. Catching faint signs of her companions tainted flesh, she shakes her head. "Such foul magic"
"So, you found some sweets up there? Seems a bit odd in a temple such as this... I might understand if we were investigation Calistria's followers, but..."
