Tok takes aim at the Tiefling between him and Merax. He attacks with a flurry of elbow attacks.
Attack 1: for
Attack 2: for
Sclivian notes the fleeing tiefling, fully expecting some response. He dismisses the Grease to give the other rebels a chance to take position on the stairs. He pulls out a blank paper and his quill, ready to write another contract.
But then another thought comes to mind...
Yes, there are many windows in here. Unfortunately they're all grimed up and nigh impossible to see through with any clarity. This is the ground floor and what looks to be the only floor in this temple other than what might have been a basement the tieflign fled down.
Meraxilar brings down the axe once more.
Attack:
Damage:
Pollux rests his head on his interlocked fingers and smiles steadily at the remaining bastard.
The tiefling begins noticing flickers at the edge of their vision. They become aware of edges. It is as if there are tiny gaps where object meets object. Nothing no-thing is predictable and stable. Judging distance becomes more and more difficult.
The tiefling bats ineffectively at Meraxilar. The other Tieflings cries have died out to nothing.
Group is up again when Sclivian figures out what he's doing.
Tok attacks the back of the Tiefling attacking Merax.
Attack 1: for
Attack 2: for
Jaw clenched in a grimace, Caldazar swings his morningstar aiming for the tiefling's trunk.
Morningstar: for
Crit confirm: for
Tok smashes the Tieflings face in as Caldazars morningstar caves in his chest cavity. His internal organs and brain rendered into a chunky milkshake substance the Tiefling decides that now would be a good time to pass into Pharasma's realm and does so. It is likely hsi soul did so by escaping through non-euclidean geometry.
The sound of the tiefling calling for aid is gone adn you are left standing in the abandoned temple.
"We shouldn't linger, let's press the advantage."
Caldazar takes enough time to rifle the pockets of the tieflings, before taking guard at the top of the staircase.
Meraxilar whispers a prayer to Rovagug over the glorious unmade heap that was once the last Tiefling. Merax follows down the stairs with a barely noticeable smile.
Pollux Folows the Tik-man.
"I wonder if their mummies will have tea?" Castor likes the little sandwiches."
Tok stand still for a moment, the thrill of battle still coursing through him. Taking a moment to center himself, he finally notices that he is alone in the room. He hurries to catch up with the others.
Pressing the advantage the group boldly descends the staircase after the escaping tiefling. The first door you come to is carved in much the same way that the art is decorated upstairs with images of the hunt and fields on it reads.
“Praise and thanks to those who spent their lives in service to Erastil their work strengthens us all.”
Passing through it you enter an old looking crypt where you are faced with two doors. One off to your left and another straight ahead. Both are closed.
Caldazar moves forward to the door on the left warily, looking and listening before moving to test it to see if it is locked.
Perception:
Merax listens at the other door.
Perception:
Waving a hand to gather attention, Caldazar points at the door then opens and closes his mouth in pseudo talking to try and indicate what he heard without speaking. He'll then prepare to attempt to open the door (after people are in whatever position they want to be).
Merax hears nothign behind the other door.
Holding up his buckler hand and counting down with his fingers 3,2,1. Caldazar then attempts to open the door he stands before...
Pollux watches Caldazar's fingers with barely contained excitement.
Merax moves behind Caldazar and holds his axe at the ready.
You open the door and your light buzzes over a pack of tieflings loading their crossbows as you burst through the door. Behind them you see what is clearly a dessicated creature wrapped like a mummy. It points towards you adn hisses. "Kill the intruderrsssss"

Caldazar takes a swing at the nearest tiefling then steps back into the void left by Merax - leaving a spot on the front lines open for Tok.

@Merax: Unfortunately theres a stone wall between you and that tiefling there. So you may want to rethink your action.
I sincerely hope Pollux and Tok did not get eaten by the hurricane.

I sincerely hope Pollux and Tok did not get eaten by the hurricane.
Still here, on vacation in Canada. Wi-fi is proving harder to find than expected.
If Merax moves then I will move to his spot and cast sleep targeting -B,23 which should fill the room nicely.
"Do you make the bargain?" Pollux asks as a stream of black threads issues from the palm of his raised hand. The threads lance into the trieflings and the undead. Those that succumb faint where they stand.
A faint 'yes'on their lips.[/b]
If I cannot get in position then I will cast resistance on tok.
Tok has a vision lasting only for a split second. He is deep underground in a large cavern. Floating in the middle of the cavern is an apparently human child. It is dressed all in gray and it's hands and feet are tightly bound. It is looking away from Tok but it's body is rotating. In a moment Tok will see its eyes. Tok feels his body and mind stiffen as more of the childs face is revealed. He sees the corner of its eye and the vision abruptly fades.
Even flatfooted the tieflings easily dodge out of the way of the large mens assault. Tok steps forward but finds no avenue of attack and awaits an oppurtunity to strike.
Pollux spells prove so effective in inducing sleep the sleepless mummy curses and falls into a deep slumber.
The remaining Tiefligns descend on caldazar adn start to beat him senseless
Group is up once more!
"Be carried by the Tide of Fangs, Brave Caldazar, so that you may unmake your enemies."
Merax casts a curative on Caldazar.
CLW:
Feeling the diametric opposition of the blow's pain as well as the healing rush, Caldazar bares his teeth and strikes back.
Morningstar: for
"Where is your mother horned men? We were hoping for some tea."
Evil eye on Demon-man dc 15 -2 saves 1 or 7 rounds.
The strange tiefling is struck by the thought, as he sees the injury he just inflicted fade away, that what is on the inside of a thing is very different that which is on the outside. But we cannot know what is inside without making it outside. His attention turns inward, searching for something real in himself, he finds nothing.
Sorry for not catching this earlier I was ready to put up a post with all the eactions when I saw Caldazar was trinyg to shift into a sqaure currently occupied by a large stone sarcophagus. Sorry you can't shift to it. You can regularly move with a climb or acrobatics check DC 5 to get on it but it counts as a move action.
Deftly dodging the rain of blows from the tieflings clubs caldazar hops on the sarcophagus to give the ace swinging lumberjack room. Tok moves in behind him and plants a blow squarely in an unsuspecting tiefling's groin who keels over in pain clearly just hanging on to consciousness. Pollux's revelation takes hold and the tiefling in front of merixilar falls into a deep depression whom he takes out on meraxilar.
The rest fire or shoot ineffectually.
A part of you clicks on the inside as Meraxilar gives his oath and fills you with healing energies. For a moment it doesn't feel as if you are being healed. Rather it feels as if the pain and injury is simply being unmade. It is a very odd feeling. Worse, you think you know what kind of god would grant such power and what kind of priest would make such an odd oath. A priest of Rovagug, the unmaker, and eternal enemy of the gods. Odder still is that he has not provided a holy symbol of his faith like a normal priest would.
Merax swings with all his might at the Mummy.

Though some troublesome thoughts start to surface also The Rough Beast! I should be wary of this one, though he seems to fight with us for now? What are his future intentions...
Round 2?
Demon-man evil eye -2 saves 2 of 7 rounds.
Pollux continues to stare silently at the Demon-man.
The demon-man parries a blow from Caldazar. He stares in facination at the point the weapons touch. He realizes there is a line between himself and that point, that there is a line from that point through him and to the ground he is standing on, that there is a continious surface from his weapon over him across the floor and ceiling of the room and up and out and...For a moment he is lost in contemplation in the simple fact that he shares the same outside with everything in the world. This of course plays havoc with his timing.
With an absolutely crushing blow that tiefling is rent to pieces as Merax's axe comes down on his foe. Caldazar moves in through the carnage and swings his mace into one of the tieflings who dodges it deftly. Pollux focuses his bizzare gaze on another tiefling and finds himself open to assault. Tok continues to beat the everliving snot out of the tiefling with gentle caresses of wind. The tieflings attempt to respond in kind and poorly.
Group is up once more!
Map is unchanged save there is a caldazar where the demon man was. The demon man is now dead. The one at the top left that's not asleep is affected by pollux's hex.
Reveling in the carnage, Merax attacks the nearest enemy.
