I slowly move one square into the Earth Room and then one square to the east, with Rufina right behind me and then moving one square to the west, and we stand there.
Lets do this!
Initiative:
Flug moves inside the room and stands on the rocks behind Rufina.
He reaches an arm out at the elemental to the side of the room as his eyes begin to fill with black.
Cast Lead Blades on myself.
I quickly grab my Masterwork Mace and smash it into the Earth elemental next to me on my right.
Melee Attack;
Damage:
Gezzo moves into the room and follows the rest of the party pulling out his morningstar. He attacks the same creature as Imowen.

Imowen swings her mace at the elemental, but the weapon seems to bounce off its rocky substance, causing no damage!
Gezzo and Lryhla move into the room and attack the same creature. Lryhla's teeth fail to bite into the elemental, but Gezzo's morningstar strikes true, and more bits of stone fly off of the creature!

Celif casts Bless (+1 to attack and +1 saves against fear).
Thorgrim rages and charges forward, swinging his battleaxe!
His weapon connects with a powerful blow, knocking huge chunks of rock from the creature's features!
Group 2: The Elementals
Elemental #1 retaliates against Thorgrim , but he manages to dodge the blow!
Elemental #2 stands in place under the influence of Flug's spell, babbling to itself, and it slams itself with its stony fist for 12 damage!
Elementals #3 and #4 advance and attack Imowen and Gezzo:
Both creatures land their rocky blows, causing to Imowen and to Gezzo.
End of Round.
Beginning of Next Round.
Group 1: The Players...
Flug moves his arm towards the middle elemental his party is facing, eyes still black.
I again smash my Masterwork Mace down, this time on Elemental #3.
Melee attack:
Damage:
Ooommph! Gezzo exhales as a large stony fist lands on his mid-section. He sputters and spits earthy dust as he swings his morningstar.

Flug smirks and casts a spell again at Elemental #2:
Will Save:
The Elemental continues to act confused, and attacks itself again!
Imowen rears back and brings her mace down upon Elemental #3's head! Sparks and stones soar as it smacks solidly on its stony skull!
Gezzo attacks #3 and bits of rock go flying as the weapon connects! Lryhla tries to bite the creature, but cannot gain a solid bite on its stony skin!
Nästród peers into the room.
Seeing the passageway crowded, he steps to the left side of the door. He waits there, readying to attack the first of those rock creatures to get within range of his flaming blade.

Nastrod moves forward and positions himself for an attack.
Celif mutters a prayer and casts a spell upon herself (Divine Favor).
Group 2: The Elementals
#1 swings its stony fists at Thorgrim but his blow does not land!
#2 stands still, babbling something incoherent, and then strikes himself again for 8 more damage!
#3 strikes at Imowen and #4 at Gezzo!
A rocky fist strikes Imowen for 13 damage, and the other blow strikes Gezzo for 9 damage!
Group 1: The Players...
Flug treads carefully on the rocks, moving away from the main body of the party to stand in the corner of the room. He then continues his mental assault on the confused earth elemental.
Where getting pummeled! Gezzo yelled, sputtering dust and dirt. We could use some help in here!
|
|
Flug makes his way to a corner of the room, and casts a spell again on elemental #2:
Will Save:
The creature continues to stand in one place, making incoherent noises... and babbling to itself... .
Gezzo and Lryhla attack Elemental #4, and Gezzo's weapon strikes true, knocking pieces of stone off of the creature!
Thorgrim rages onward, swinging his weapon at Elemental #1: The blow lands solidly, and the creature flies apart into a pile of rocks and gravel!
Rufina steps forward and attacks Elemental #3 with her spiked chain , but her footing is unsure on the loose gravel and she misses!
Nästród sees an opening while one of the elementals is befuddled by a spell. He dances down the corridor, sliding with his blade around friends and foe, until stopping beside Thorgrim with a spinning attack on the walking rock pile.
|
|
Nastrod strides toward Elemental #2 and attacks with his magic sword! The weapon strikes true, causing massive physical and fire damage upon the creature! The elemental quivers and quakes, and then falls apart into a pile of smoking gravel!
Celif touches Imowen and casts a Cure Serious Wounds spell:
Group 2: The Elementals
Elementals #3 and #4 continue their attacks upon Imowen and Gezzo
Imowen manages to dodge the blow, but Gezzo is struck for 12 points of damage!
Group 1: The Players...
Rufina swings her spiked chain at Elemental #3 and hits it soundly for 7 damage!
Flug moves steadily across the rocks, stepping back onto smoother flooring to circle the device at the center of the room, drawing his morning star to stop at the back of the elementals.
After having sat out the last round due to weakness from injuries, I am now much better after Celif's healing spell - Thank you so much, Celif! I was really dazed!
I again smash my Masterwork Mace down on Elemental #3 and immediately step 5 feet to my right and stand behind Thorgrim.
Melee Attack:
Damage:
Gezzo swoons after receiving another solid blow. Shaking off more dirt and dust, he swings his morningstar again.
After his attack, he pulls back on Lryhla and they step step next to Celif.

|
Gezzo and Lryhla attack Elemental #3, landing solid blows and bites! The creature crumbles into a pile of stones, totally destroyed!
Celif touches Gezzo with a healing spell:
Thorgrim and Rufina advance toward the remaining Elemental, swinging their weapons!
Thorgrim:
Rufina:
They each strike the creature, and bits of stone go flying apart from its body.
Way to go, Gezzo and Lryhla! Now let's get that last one!
Move around and attack #3.
Flug steps over the stones that remained of the elementals and briefly inspects the box before approaching each of the other exits in the room in turn.
He opens the door enough for everyone to peek through before closing it.
|
|
Flug briefly opens each door leading out of the current room.
The western door opens to the southern entrance of the Fire room.
The eastern door opens to the southern entrance of the Water room.
The southern door opens and reveals almost utter darkness. The walls, floor and ceiling of this room are constructed of a hard black substance that seems to absorb any light source in the room.
Gezzo follows Flug to the southern door. He tosses a torch into the darkened room and looks around. Lryhla sniffs the air.
|
|
Gezzo attempts to throw a torch into the room of Darkness...but it is obstructed by some barrier in the doorway, and it bounces back into the present room.
Gezzo picks up the torch and probes the doorway with the lit end. If the barrier allows it to pass. He takes one step in and looks around.
|
|
Gezzo manages to just barely see a strange device in the center of the room. The light from his torch seems to be dampened in the room, and it only illuminates an area about 10 feet in radius. A black crystal orb atop the strange device roils with images of dark substances and smoky tendrils. The walls, floor and ceiling of this room are constructed of a hard black substance that seems to absorb any light source in the room. A rod of white crystal lies on the floor adjacent to the device. Three other doorways are located centrally in the walls. Two corpses wearing remnants of Shining Path monk robes lie in the center of the room near the device.
