You manage to dodge out of the way as the sin spawn tries to bite you as you lay the rope.

Holding his earthshaker on guard Xango nods to Oster."Just open the door and let me give that beast the people´s Smackdown!"
Is someone opening the door?
Oster says:
"Blasted thing! Xango, have at it!" as he opens the door and leaps to the side.
As the creature comes charging out of the cell Xango you can take an attack of opportunity.
Memnosyne casts guidance on Xango as Oster prepares to open the door.
(so +1 to attack)
Xango, you strike the creature a mighty blow.
Initiative order
Memno 16
Devlin 14
Sinspawn 11
Oster 8
Xango 7
Memno its your action.
"I still think we should have just blasted him, but whatever..." As the creature runs from its cage, she slashes at its torso. "We don't know if these things have any natural defenses, right?"
"Blast it you say. I can handle that Memnosyne. Take this you foul creature!" Devlin stays are far back as he is able to while still keeping the creature in range. A ray of icy particles shoots forth from Devlin's outstretched hand.
Memno you strike the creature and do some damage.
Devlin can you make a spell penetration roll.
The Sinspawn attacks Xango
Bite (1d20 = 7 +3) =10 which is a miss
Oster over to you.
Waiting till they are inflanking position Xango whirls left and right, bringing thunder and fang into play.
Oster throws a grin towards Xango on the opposite side of the sinspawn, as he stabs at it's right side.
With a mixture of Devlin's spell, Oster's rapier and Xango's weapons the sinspawn is destroyed before it gets a chance to attack again,
Where to next?
GM note - Sorry its playing as 1 combat after another at the moment- that's just the way this dungeon plays out, later parts of the campaign will allow a better chance to use other skills.
"Let's push down, and find 'clicklegs'"
Devlin takes a moment to search the room and uses Detect Magic to scan the room. "Very well. Lets get this over with so we can go rest and heal." Devlin follows as Oster leads the way.
Devlin, there is nothing magical in the room but there is something magical coming from the passage heading west (B42)
Devlin will take time to determine the nature of the aura and its strength. If I can see what the magical aura is coming from I will also attempt to identify it.
The aura appears to be a conjuration aura and it appears to be coming from a fountain to the west.
Carefully following Oster to the fountain Xango is cautious to approach it.
"Be careful. The fountain is radiating conjuration magic." Devlin keeps a cautious distance from the fountain as they approach.
"Anything we can do about it from here?"
"Not that I can tell. It will require further study and that means getting up close with it."
"Darn. If you think it's worth it, we can move up. Otherwise, let's backtrack."
Xango looks at Oster."Well then let´s move!"
"Let's take a look at it. I could be helpful or harmful. We won't know until we check. I just like to be cautious until then."
Oster nods, and sneaks forward, rapier out.
You sneak into the chamber.
This circular room is empty save for a 10 foot wide circular pool filled with clear water. The water appears to be only six inches deep and is crystal clear, leaving the tiled decoration of a swirling vortex plainly visible on the pool's basin.
Oster searches the rest of the room, just in case.
There is nothing else in the room.
Oster watches the entrances, in case anyone tries to sneak up on the party while his colleagues study the fountain.
Memnosyne thinks it's some sort of portal... but what does she know.
Devlin steps up to the edge of the pool and looks down into the crystal clear water.
Devlin as you concentrate further you realise that the aura is coming from the water and then it comes to you. The water will provide healing as well as lesser restoration.
Oster you can hear to the west (B41) the unmistakable sound of more spiders.
"Ahhh, I get it now. This water is restorative for wounds and such. We should make sure to take some of this with us if we can. It may prove to be of use."
"Excellent! Does anyone have an empty vessel? Or a spare waterskin?"
There is enough liquid to fill eight vials.
"Thank Pharasma. We could certainly use that."
"I have a pot. Will that work for you?"
Xango shrugs and answers."Well the water won´t run away. We can return to fill our vials once we use them. Heard sometimes it looses its potency if taken from a well"!
"And we might obtain a few vials down below anyway! Speaking of which, let's back to it shall we?"
Memnosyne dips a waterskin into the pool and drinks the liquid down.
"Does it help?"
Xango keeps vigil and smiles. This is an interesting place.
Taking out some sausage and a waterskin he nods to the others.
"Let us break camp and have a small snack to get some energy back! We have raced through this complex, but there is no rush!"
Devlin kneels down next to the fountain and dipping his hands in scoops some of the liquid out and begins to drink it in earnest.
Oster scoops a little water in his hand and drinks it down.
And then turns to Xango.
"You know what? This dungeoneering spree does wonders for the appetite. I could use some sausage!"
