Kalendir reaches out, easing Wynn's wounds.

LoH; Mercy (Cursed; shaken): 7d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 2, 6, 4, 1) + 5 = 31

"Erastil will guide our path through this. I swear it friend."

If Wynn takes out the bottom left with his arrows, Alie can time the fireball to only get him and the two who have saved, so we will go with that.

Wynn sweeps away one swarm with a hail of arrows, while Alie takes care of the other three.

Kalendir then heals the worst of Wynn's wounds.

Everyone remember if you move the spike stone are all around, 1d8 damage per square, and a reflex save or your movement rate is halved until healed.

I made my Reflex save at the start of my last post, DM.

yeap, I added the damage, but didn't knock off the comment, I'll fix that next time through.

Flying behind Tortuga, Morrin raises an empty hand and sends forth a bolt of electricity at the enemy in the next room.

Electric Blast+Point Blank Shot : touch: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 21 + 1 = 23
Damage+Point Blank Shot: 6d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 2, 3, 1) + 9 + 1 = 28

But he is distracted, or maybe it is the odd metal of the room, the electrical blast goes awry.

The man in the corridor steps back into the mist.

"Okay, you're getting annoying. How about I get you to come out of that mist!"

Morrin gathers power before he channels the energy in the room, and creates a wall of electricity in front of Tortuga, heading straight away from the monk.

Electricity Wall: 6d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 6, 2, 6) + 9 = 37 Take half damage with no save. The wall will be up for 7 rounds unless I dismiss it or use Wall Infusion again. The wall will provide cover to attack anyone on either side.

Can you give me link to the electricity wall? I take it this is not the normal 'Energy Wall' power.

It's the Wall Infusion on page 22 of Occult Adventures. Kineticist PRD
WALL
Element universal; Type form infusion; Level 5; Burn 3
Associated Blasts any
Saving Throw none
You create a wall of churning elements, flensing debris, or roiling energy. The wall appears within 30 feet and can be either up to 10 feet high and up to 120 feet long or up to 20 feet high and up to 60 feet long. All creatures and objects in one of the wall’s squares when you create it take 1/4 the normal damage from your blast with no saving throw (or half the normal damage for an energy blast). Anytime a creature crosses the wall, it takes half the normal damage from your blast (or full damage for an energy blast). The wall is not completely solid, but it does provide cover against attacks from the other side of the wall. The wall lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution modifier or until you use a wall infusion again.

I can link the pdf as well if you want.

That is fine.

A set of three two headed giants appears in the room. Each attacks with a pair of flails. Mostly the group avoids them, although Morrin is caught by a pair of large weapons to the back of his head.

They all have reach

Alie delays to see if anyone can get rid of that big red giant in front of her, so she could try her magic.

"Where are they all coming from?" Kalendir steps back, smiting the red-eyed giant as he sends a wave of arrows into it's side. Probably Provoke AoO from my ranged attacks.

If red falls he will move to blue.

The red Ettin falls quickly. And the blue one receives a painful looking arrows as well for its trouble. The red creature does manage to tangle with the paladin on his way down though, hurting Kalendir.

One moment, be right back with you, Tortuga shouts into the mist.[/b]

He steps up to the ettin (green) and attacks with a flurry of kicks. Perhaps to blue if needed after green goes down.

Between Tort and Wynn the last two giants are quickly disposed of.

”Should I just seal him up in there with a Wall of Stone,” Alie asks the others, ready to use the same plan on the caster as he did on them originally.

"Give him a taste of his own medicine? Why not?!" Morrin laughs slightly while thinking the man in the other room deserves to be trapped.

Alie nods and tries to use her own Wall fo Stone just as she saw him do. She was happy to think so long as he didn’t have any more teleportation magic, he would probably be done for, or until the group decided to release him on their own schedule.

Thunk.
A wall of stone appears.

And for the moment, let us slip out of initiative. You will still have issues with movement as the floor is incredibly spiky.

Fletch aims at the man in the corridor, but saves his arrows when the wall appears.

"Can anyone do something to let in Romulus? The big giant wolf?"

"Or maybe do something about these spikes?!

That battle has been going on for three weeks, you have mostly dealt with them so really, drawing out the last person was just going to be time consuming. I like the wall of stone.

With time no longer a major issue, Morrin can works his way around the room blunting the various sharp stones. As the way to the wall of stone is cleared, the rest of the group can quickly set to work bashing it down and letting Romulus into the room.
Takes ten on disable device

With the corridor sealed off, only the northwest entrance is currently open to go through.

Area 20
The floor of this chamber is inlaid with giant circular mosaic of the four primary elements divided into quarters that swirl counter-clockwise. A brass plaque encircles the mosaic, engraved with a passage that reads: “The shortest year has five seasons of fire.” In the northwest corner, a short passage leads to a door.

"Hmm, strange. I wonder what that passage means. Shall we go through the door, or check things out? Considering that we have been attacked multiple times, I believe we should hurry along."

"It could be some form of a riddle." Kalendir thinks. "Though there are only four elements..."

"Could it mean the safest path goes through the fire element? Five times back and forth? Or...something?"

Check out those damage scores, folks! I think we need some healing. Especially Wynn.

”Before we rush ahead, we need to heal up. This battle was exhausting!”. Aloe pulls out her wand, and has one of the boys do the honor.

Clw 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 3, 7, 4) + 4 = 25

Fully healed, she casts False Life again.

Kalendir sends out another wave of positive energy to stem the flow of blood. "If anyone has a wand I will use it on you."

Kale makes everyone feel a bit better. Only Tortuga and Wynn bear wounds on their body now, although a number of you have other ailments.

"Any one hurt in some other way? Feeling weak or whatnot? I have this wand of lesser restoration with a few charges left."

Tortuga hands out his wands to take care of his afflictions.

Use my own wand of lesser restoration to heal fatigued condition.

The team heals up a bit while trying to work out how to proceed.

When the boys were all healed up, Alie tried to prod them ahead. ”Looks like that passage up north leads to a door. Are we ready to go check it and proceed further?”

Peering through the door, Alie sees an oddly shaped room. The door you are looking through appears to be on a curved wall, while two others angle out from it. The room is more or less bare with only two other doors leading out. Each has a lever on the wall next to it.

GM A: Is Alie really still hurt? She said she was all healed up.

Nope, no damage, Alie has 17 temporary hp from a casting of False life

No, I’m good.

”Boys, get in here. Look at this room, all bare except two levers by two doors. I’m sure this is some sort of lovely trap as well. Who wants to take a crack at this?”

Wynn step forward, in front of everyone else, and tries to examine the doors. Detecting for magic, before getting to close to them.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

"Does anyone else want to give it a once over. Just in case I missed anything"

Tortuga obliges.

Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31

Neither Tort not Wynn notice anything overtly dangerous about the room.

Hearing that there is nothing dangerous nor magical about the room surprises Kalendir. He grabs his bow and takes a breath. "Well standing here won't get us any closer." He steps into the room and opens the western door.

Nodding towards the others, Morrin follows Wynn further into the citadel. "I agree that we must hurry. I don't know as to what kind of danger may be headed towards the Ten asides from Adril."

Forgot to look around in the room!

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 +1 for traps

Wynn goes into the room, but the western door doen't open. Maybe that leaver next to it might solve the problem?

Morrin doesn't notice anything suspicious either.

I'm going to give everyone else a chance to decide what they are doing here as well, in particular I want to know if you are going in be in the room when the lever is pulled, or outside it.

Tortuga will remain in the room.

1 in the room, 2 out of the room. 1d2 ⇒ 1

Alie stays in the room with her friends as well.

Group majority. Kalendir will stay in room.

I'll go with the others wanting to stick together after that wall of stone.

Kalendir pulls the lever. AS he does so the door that you all passed through into the room slams shut and the room judders, throwing you about.

A burning cloud fills the room while it shudders!
fire damage to everyone, ref DC 22 for half: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 6, 2, 6) = 25

Looking through the open door is another very similar looking room, with just two doors in the straight walls.

Currently you are still in the first room
