Shilyn turns around to go check the other door at Delgan's prompting when a bright light shines over her shoulder, bathing the room in brightness for just a second. Turning around, she sees the stars are gone and the vista is now gone. Her eyes fade to black for a moment and she shakes her head. "Now what'd ya do this time?" she asks with a raised eyebrow.
"The stars were lost without you, Shi." Varian quips, trying to recover his equilibrium a little. He gives her a little wink, though it lacks his usual sparkle.
Mostly right; ability damage must be resolved. However, since you heal ability damage naturally over time, you can just as easily say that after the adventure, you rest and thus heal it up and 'resolve it'. There's only a couple of scenarios I can think of that may force you to not rest afterwards and get stuck keeping the ability damage for the next game.
After Shilyn's comment, the stars on the back wall reform in the same pattern.
Which door are you referring to? The other northern door to the east or the door opposite of the hallway the party is in?
Deaglan pulls Shilyn over to the other door against the northern part of the chamber. The elf does her typical inspection (T10 unless you wish to study it further), including putting her ear to the door to listen on the other side. And it's faint, but she hears the sound of something buzzing back and forth, like a bee moving from flower to flower to collect pollen.

Shilyn keeps her rapier ready in her right hand as she steps to the side of the door. Reaching out with her left, she attempts to quietly push it open.
Shilyn tries to carefully open the door and peek her head into the room, but the door groans with an ancient creek. Cursing to herself in her head, a low workbench that wraps around the walls. It is cut off by sectioning that separates into a strange laboratory. A curving workbench covered with gory heaps of flesh and bone sits against the laboratory's walls. Illuminating the room are strange contraptions resembling iron cages fitted with human-sized openings. Between them all, focused on the workbench, is a bizarre creature that looks part plant and part bug; 8 clawed legs protrude from its body, stiff wings supported by chitinous junctions all nestled into a fibrously looking body.
This entity is currently unaware of you Shilyn.
Anyone moving at this point will require a Stealth check. Same with communicating with anything other than hand signals, which will require a DC 5 Sense Motive to understand.

Now you know why my sneakiness is patented..heh. Beware the power of TWOs!
Drawing a dagger, that matches her rapier, in her left hand, Shilyn attempts to quietly cross the passage and hide herself in the alcove across the way.
Almost instinctively, as the creature turns to grab another tool, it spots the glint of light from Shilyn's blade. It turns and sees the half-elf as she enters the alcove. It's wings buzz with excitement it starts to grab a slender rod at its side.
grrr.. 2 more lvls before i get invis. purge... sigh
Varian creates a lucerne hammer as a swift action and charges in where the creature was, hoping to attack it before it can move.
to hit:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 dmg if hits:1d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 miss chance 1-50 misses, 51-100 hits, if it's even still in the same space:1d100 ⇒ 57

Thinking quickly, Shilyn tries a quick spell before moving to follow Amnur, still unsure of what her new-found powers are capable of. "Not sure if this will work, but hey.." she mutters as she begins her casting.
@Mylvwara: So your goal is for you to delay down and everyone ready's an action to strike when you throw the chalk, correct? I'm fine with that, just mark on the map which square you wish to throw the chalk into!
@Varian: You cannot delay since you've already acted for the round.
@Mylvwara: Both Orion and Deaglan will follow your command, waiting for you to throw the dust!
For this, I'll need you to make a ranged touch attack. This will provoke as a ranged attack, but you only need to hit AC 5 to aim at a square. If you wish to throw from 10' away (a non adjacent square) then it'll be a -4 penalty due to the dust not traveling well. Again, let me know what square you're going to throw dust from and what square you're aiming at and give me your attack roll!
that statement about being ready was more fluff than actual action, since I'd already acted, as you say. Kinda being ready for his next action whenever that might come... btw, what are we waiting for?

Walking up in her ever-present, off-scene robe and bunny slippers and munching on a doughnut, Shilyn looks over at the others. "Yup, we have off. Guess I can get my hair and nails done before the next scene," she mumbles around a mouthful of her snack. "Hrm.. wait," she pauses a moment, tapping her powdered sugar covered lip, "if I do that now, I'll just have to spend another six hours in makeup and they'll ruin it anyway. Oh well, nice thought." Turning to walk off, she peers over her shoulder. "Grab a doughnut, we'll be a bit."
Varian hops over to the craft table and grabs a couple of doughnuts and a cup of coffee... might as well have some caffeine with all that sugar and grease. "Mmmmfff.... verra gud...*swallows*... Don't worry about your hair and makeup... not like it's gonna make any improvement." He ducks the inevitable slap.
Carefully side-stepping the doughnuts and coffee, Mylvwara sips her mineral water and adds some avocado to her salad (no dressing), Shi, you really should take more care over your complexion.

Tossing the un-eaten half of her doughnut at Varian, she gives him a grin. "Hush you." and decides that BBQ ribs, potato salad, fresh corn, followed by a slab of apple pie with ice cream sounds a bit better as she hastily fills her plate.
@Lirianne: You fire your pistol and the bullet is shot into the creature... but it's rubbery, plant-like structure drops the bullet out, seemingly causing no harm.
With its initial plan ruined, the alien moves up to severely punish the wizard who foiled its invisibility!
The wizard is slashed into multiple times, with two claws then pulling Mylvwara in close before trying to flay her shoulders and joints! She passes out from the sheer amount of bloodloss and damage that is accrued, but somehow has her tendons still in tact!

Varian, is your healing stick easily grabbed? if so, Shilyn would make an attempt to grab it to tend to Mylv since she's close to both. If not.. Shilyn will attempt to stem the bleeding with her limited healing knowledge..
it's in my belt, so yes, easily grabbable... I was hoping to take this thing down quickly and if not cast stabilize next round... but it looks like you already stabilized her this round... if you want to grab the stick and heal her, by all means, go for it

With you bobbing and weaving in combat.. probably best I just stabilize..heh
Seeing Mylv fall, Shilyn quickly glances at Varian's belt for the healy stick, deciding not to try for it and possibly distract him while he fights with the strange creature. Wasting no time, she drops to her knees beside her fallen friend and attempts to stem the flow of blood..
Shilyn, having picked up enough first aid skills from Varian, expertly bandages the elf's wounds. The glare the monster gives at her can be felt, and only Varian's body provides the rogue protection from the same fate that landed Mylvwara close to a premature demise!
Orion steps to the side, pulling out his sword cane slashing at the creature!
Deaglan drops his longhammer for his waraxe and together the pair of dwarfs nearly simultaneously slash at the creature, Amnur empowering his strike the power of stone and a patented "ROANOOOOCK!".
In a flash of anger and skill, all three men strike the creature, Orion nearly jabbing his blade in the back of the thing's skull but not quite able to penetrate.
The creature looks around... then stares at Deaglan.
DC 15 Sense Motive:
It seems to notice the holy symbol around the dwarf's neck.
It then leaps into action, performing the same rending combination against the Truddite!
And almost like Mylvwara, the creature slices the dwarf up with the skill of a surgeon and the speed of a master thief. He resists the initial damage, even deflecting a blow, until a pair of claws pull him hin and try to flay his chest open. The damage causes the dwarf to slump in its arms, although his armor and natural resilience prevent any damage to his muscles.
Yeah, that's what this guy does... and this isn't even this most evil interpretation of his attack pattern, either, BUT Shilyn's master stealth did stop some other nasty things from happening, so in that regard, this is the first group I've run to NOT let him buff up! That may be the edge you need right now!
Orion draws a short sword to help parry and takes another stab at the creature.

Seeing that Mylv is no longer in immediate danger, she picks up her rapier and moves in to help the others. Stepping between Varian and Lirianne, she looks for an opening to plunge her blade into the strange creature's backside..
