Kakrish shrugs off the wave of negative energy and steps up to the grioth. He unslings the bow from his shoulder and looks at it with a little unfamiliarity. "Let's see how this thing works."
He puts an arrow on the string and aims at the grioth.
What circle is #1 and #2, so I know I much Dmg I subtract?
[dice=Will DC 13]1d20 + 2 - 2
Almost dead again.
Hoga takes a 5' and attacks.
Hernvet feels the wave of dark energy flow over him but persists through it and says.
"Why yall gotta be so negative"
Then lifts his holy symbol into the air and uses Channel Energy.
Kyras is damaged by the negative energy but is bolstered by Hernvet's counter to that. Already in range of the left most enemy he swings before taking a step for better position.
Maffei and Hoga moves on Grioth closest to them. Maffei's swords slash twice at the creature and open some nice wounds. As the Grioths tries to recover, Hoga's axe comes down on the thing's head and split it in two.
Kakrish's bow still need some practising, but not Kyras fauchard. He scores a good hit on the target. Taking out a dagger, the Grioth close in on Kyras and take a stab at the Half Elf. The dagger finds a weakness in Kyras armour and cuts the investigator. While the wound is only skin deep, he feels a pulsing energy travelling from the wound to his brain.

Too close to his foe to use his preferred weapon, Kyras 5' steps in to a flank, pulling his morning star as he does so and attacks.
Kakrish drops the bow. "That's a stupid weapon. What you need is real steel." Kakrish draws his sword and slices at the grioth.
Kyras score another hit, his morning star leaving a massive bruise on the side of the Grioth. Kakrish tries to flank the creature, but his attack just deflect off the armour of his target.
Kyzen almost faints as he try to use is kinetic ability again... He's still too shaken up to hit...
Kinetic "Magical" Blast (Point-Blank + Elemental Overflow + Shaken)
Maffei stands where she is and uses her shadow magic to end this fight...
Scorching Ray (Will DC 14 to disbelieve with 20% Dmg instead)
Hernvet moves past Kyzen and throws one of his star knives at the grioth.

Hoga closes in and takes a swing, too.
The last of the Grioth fall under all your attacks. You explore the part of the floor you are in. The main room is a reading room/library. The small room north is a supply room for book binding. The last room to the west is a large sleeping area. Searching all three rooms reveals nothing of value or of any importance.

Hernvet looks around at everyone and pulls out his wand of CLW and starts healing everyone.
Hernvet not very impressed at his wands work uses CSW on Hoga
Thanks, Hornvet. That was a tough fight.
Kuyras spends time looking through the books in the library and is disappointed to find little of interest.
Kakrish shakes out his arms after getting healing from Hernvet. "Well thanks. I feel much better. Ok. So now what?"

Let's go east.
Hoga goes to the doorway.
Kyras readies his weapon and nods agreement.
Agreed!
"Lead on"
Once ready, you open the door to the next room. Metallic coffins with vents in their lids form a line along the southern wall of this room. Numerous large stones are heaped atop the westernmost coffin, and a foul smell of decay fills the air. The ceiling is low, making the space feel cramped. You find no creatures and a quick inspection reveal nothing out of the ordinary. There is also no magical aura.
"I hate that smell... Do we want to open them one by one?"
Hoga goes to the farthest coffin, ready to open it once everyone's lined up to kill whatever may come out.
We might as well take a look.
Stands ready...
Get closer with Hoga and stands ready...
With everyone ready to act, Hoga opens the first tomb.
Here goes...
"Yeah, ready. But first." Kakrish strokes his beard and says a few magical words. As he does so, his beard stiffens and transforms into long iron spikes. Kakrish smiles. "Uhm alwuz bahnted tuh truh diz"
He wields his sword and nods to Hoga.
You walk over to the last coffin. One by one, you remove the stones that were placed on the lid. Hoga pushes the lid over to gain access to what ever lies inside. The smell seems to assault your noses even more now. Looking in, you find the corpse of an Half-Orc. From the look of it, he died only a few days ago. You see no evident cause of death on the body. Inside the coffin, next to the corpse's hand, you find a worn down whetstone. Oddly, it seem to have been used not to sharpen a blade, but to rub against something.
"I wonder what happened to him" Maffei gets closer and take the wet stone in her hand and look at it for a while wandering... "Maybe he used it to write something" She starts to look into the coffin trying to notice any inscription...
Strange. Poor guy.
Hoga looks, too.
Hoga inspect the coffin and find nothing, but then he remembers the lid and flips it over. On the inside of the lid you see a single word scratched over and over: Szangi.
Looks like he was put in here to die. Szangi... What is that?
"Szangi?" I wonder what that means."
"Huh, thats weird, Szangi... maybe its a name?"
Kakrish and Kyras think of any word that could sound like the one that the dead man scratched in the coffin but come up with nothing. Then, Hernvet suggest the possibility that it might be a name and that suggestion seem to make sense. Now the question is who's name and why would a person find it important enough to use his last moment to write it in his coffin.
After pondering on the problem, the group inspect the rest of the room and coffins, and find nothing of interest.
"You know what Hernny? I think you're right. That brain between your fox ears really helps." Kakrish chuckles and slaps Hernvet on the back. "Ok. So now what? Let's go find this Szangi guy. But I think we've been everyone on this floor."
"Letting someone die inside a coffin, is an evil act, that says a lot about this Szangi..."
"Perhaps this Szangi did not do this act maybe he is incharge of the thugs that did? he might be a dragon...or a powerfull wizard or something." Hernvet thinks for a moment then says "Well I suppose we should take one more look around then head elsewhere"
"Yeah, let's keep looking around. Probably it's time to go up to the next level."
