I will double move to M-21 and my Linger Performance continues to Inspire the Courage of allies that can hear it.
Chanting in a deep, thunderous voice and moving his free hand in precise movements Velcore begins a spell.
Chaandra claws and bites at the bad man in her way.
Her two claws score deep hits as she continues to be inspired by the gnome's music.
Trane moves into the room (P19) and begins to summon a creature of nature. A dimensional portal begins to form.
Eric attacks for for

Velcore begins to chant, weaving a spell...
Chaandra attacks Guard #5. She misses with her bite, but both claws hit deep, causing enough damage to kill the foe!
Trane moves into the room and begins casting a spell...
Eric manages to also strike Guard #5, and then whirls and lands a blow on Guard #6, killing him with one blow!
Group #2: The enemy...
The man in full plate moves forward 5 feet and attacks Eric:
confirm crit
He strikes Eric a critical blow for 11 points of damage!
The man in the black robe mutters and makes a strange motion with his hands...and a small black orb emits itself from his hands, flying south and bursting upon the man in plate armor! Immediately darkness falls upon him, and upon a portion of the rooms!
Group 3: Cananthir, Bryce, Rafael, Garm, Kalizama and Elmo.
I crawl out from under Rafael into Q-21, and use Spellcraft to find out what spell was cast to plunge the area into darkness.
Spellcraft:
His back to the wall Bryce delays his action: "Can someone dispel this?"
I will double move to Q21 to try to be somewhere near the action, lol.
Got nothing to dispel Darkness, sorry guys.
Velcore completes his spell of Silence and begins to chant anew. A white glow surrounds Velcore giving him a blessing of defense.
Trane finishes his summons, and a creature of cut stone with impressive strength and stamina appears.

Special Abilities
Earth Glide (Ex) A burrowing earth elemental can pass through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. If protected against fire damage, it can even glide through lava. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other sign of its presence. A move earth spell cast on an area containing a burrowing earth elemental flings the elemental back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.
Earth Mastery (Ex) An earth elemental gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the elemental takes a –4 penalty on attack and damage rolls. These modifiers apply to bull rush and overrun maneuvers, whether the elemental is initiating or resisting these kinds of attacks. (These modifiers are not included in the statistics block.)
A creature with tremorsense is sensitive to vibrations in the ground and can automatically pinpoint the location of anything that is in contact with the ground. Aquatic creatures with tremorsense can also sense the location of creatures moving through water. The ability's range is specified in the creature's descriptive text.

The creature is dispatched to find the evil caster. Given his ability to glide through earth as if it was water and the ability to located anything touching the ground within 60 feet, the elemental moves to attack the evil caster.
Trane moves to heal his companion (20'move) and casts a spell(std).
The lioness is used to the darkness, and stalks prey with scent and hearing.
Eric delays. "In the dark with no sound I can't tell whose friend or foe."
Bryce tries to (very slowly) moves towards the east, with his back at the wall all the time. He is really hoping he will not stumble into a friend, or even worse an enemy in all this silent darkness.

Cananthir, being ever 'forethoughtful' decides to rush approx 15 feet beyond the armored corpse, rolls deeper/through the darkness (or into a casting mage, whichever comes first) and swings his Elven Curved Blade upon standing.
The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
I will ready my crossbow in case an enemy jumps out at me.
I'll just take a nap
Bryce is still moving slowly (and carefully) "down" the wall towards the east, until he leaves darkened area.
I continue at Q-20, just outside the total darkness, not wishing to enter into it and unable to do anything to dispel it. I see nothing and I hear nothing, just carefully waiting.

Bryce tries to move east along the wall, but finds his way blocked by other members of the party...
Kalizama remains in place, waiting for something to happen...
Cananthir attempts to move west, but runs into a wall...
Elmo cannot see or hear anything of note, and maintains his position...
End of Round 4
Start of Round 5
Group 1: Trane and Chaandra, Eric and Velcore
Velcore chants as he raises his sword into the air. "Iomedae give your servant the power to find and expel this evil being."
Trane's summoned creature of earth continues to try and pound the one he was sent to find.
Trane continues to move through the darkness towards the evil villain. He begins to change into a wolf.
Chaandra stalks the bad guys. Without sound and sight, she finds the going difficult, but with her sense of smell, she seems to be doing far better than the humans who were deprived of their two primary means of sensing.

Velcore casts a spell...
The earth elemental again attempts to attack the foe, using tremorsense to locate him! It swings wildly and tries to slam the enemy, but misses with the blow!
Chaandra can smell the enemy is close!
Chaandra chooses whether to charge the enemy or approach cautiously. Choosing the latter, Chaandra advances and bites.
"If you can end the silence it would be best, right now we have a better chance of hitting ourselves in that darkness than the spellcaster."
Eric delays his action until the end of the round.
Readying my action as usual.
I will cast Light on my Light Mace and move over/through everyone in my way to end up at N-17. Hopefully we can now see who's left and what they're doing.
Perception:
I will ready my crossbow again.
Unable to exit towards east, Bryce is still keeping ready action, when the darkness finally goes away (or delays if nothing happens this round).
Round 6 of blind man's bluff
Trane's nose extends and he finds he has the scent of a lion. He uses his newly acquired olfactory ability to locate the enemy and move forward. His elemental creature has one last go at the enemy.
