Together with the creature trying to attack Theor and Horatius simultaneously, and Lynthara grabbing the rock, she should be in a "safe" square right now.
Yes, map is correct :)

The creatures strike gets past Horatiuses defenses and draws a deep gash in his thigh. His vision swims for a moment before the paladin falls to the ground.
No worries.
Moved Olik up one sq, and you away one sq (coz of your reach weapon).
The creature is assaulted by Theor and Olik alike, but the semi-darkness is hard on the human eyes and they both miss and strike the hard stone,causing the blades to sing.
The creature seems quite agitated that someone new has joined the fight, and shifts slightly.
Lynthara, I'm proclaiming you're free enough to stand up and possibly cast something.
Its strikes are appawlingly bad, probably from the sound coming from the blades against the stone.
The combined attack of Theor, the distraction of Leiff and the firey hands of Lynthara cuase the creature to fall down and twitch slightly, after which it exhales its last breath...

"on it!"
Leiff moves over to Horatius, holds his hands over the wounds while gathering arcane energy. With a word of power he unleashes the spell, which starts mending the wounds...
move action to get to horatius, drop the sword as a free action, standard action to cast cure light wounds

The paladins eye flutter open as he draws a deep breath. Still staggered from the blood loss his first thoughts are none the less for his companions.
"Lynthara...is she alright? Are the rest of the party well?" he asks while trying unsuccessfully to rise. Sitting down hard he reaches towards his bracer and, finding nothing there, shakes his head to clear his thoughts before saying, "The wand...I dropped it by the hole we entered this area through."
”You crazy people still alive! Well you will have a tale to tell.”
His companions secure, Thaurux will retrieve and light his lamp.

"I'll be fine. I'm just glad to see you well." the paladin says taking the wand Theor offers and pointing it at himself.

Healing magics flow into the wounded warrior, closing deep gashes and eventually knitting sliced skin. After a moment he stands, picking up his sword as he does so, and looks about at the party.

Horatius makes his way about the area picking up gear dropped during the battle and checking it for any damage before securely stowing it once again. He then stands guard over the path before them awaiting his companions.
T10 to go up/down the rope as needed. Someone should probably check the critters cave to see if there are any valuables.
As everyone gathers their stuff and climbs up and fown the rope, a slight breeze rises up.
Thinking nothing of it, you continue down the path, higher up the mountain.
Anything anyone wants to do before continuing? Clock is set at 24 hours before my next post :-)

Lyn checks her cloak and gear, making sure nothing is still stuck in the monster's tongue. She steps away with a sniff and her head held high. But her haughty air is quickly replaced by her usually bubbly and curious self.
"Let's be off. There's so much more to see! I wonder what will be next?"
”Ha ha ha! Since almost getting eaten twice isn’t curbing the enthusiasm, maybe this cold will do it. I know it’s curbing mine like the smell of a troglodyte in a brothel.”
Area B2 contains a number of items, probably the possessions of the cave fisher’s most recent victims, including a fine cloak, a potion, a two scrolls.
After traveling 1-1/2 hours from the overhang site, you find your climb easier as a narrow mountain path becomes evident.
When you catch your breath, you look up and see a narrow path that leads up the mountain, hugging a sheer cliff face to one side, while dropping off to the other into what appears to be the remains of a rock slide.
Several alcoves have been carved into the cliff face, each containing a small stone shrine—some little more than simple standing stones, others ornately carved lanterns or small houses.
The path is well defined, promising easier progress, and is a welcome break from the rough terrain leading up to this point.

"noticed me being silent, ey. Horatius" Leiff whispers with a grin...
"the guides warned us so let's asume there is that chance..."
Leiff takes a note of how many alcoves and how many shrines, and where they are situated.... Trying if a story comes to mind, which seems to fit one ore more shrines...
knowledge:religion:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
knowledge:history:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
meanwhile he is thinking out loud albeit in a hushed tone...
".... wait... path of shrines, aren't we almost half way our land marks by now.... According to our guides after these there should be a bridge, and the two brothers before we see the monastery..
These shrines serve to ward off malicious spirits and bad luck, thus protecting travelers.
The monks once saw to the proper maintenance and care of these shrines.
The shrines should not have fallen into this state of disrepair though.
Thaurux, you donning the cloak?

Map updated: Please try to work out a marching order.

Leiff takes a moment to collect his thoughts while taking in the view.
...as the legends go, the monks maintained them to keep malicious spirits and bad luck away.... to protect visitors on their way to the monastery...
Noticing the damage to the shrines, he get's a worried look on his face...
"hmmm, these shrines are in a bad state, I know they have been here for a long time without proper care, but they are worse of then they should be.... We best keep an eye out... it's not a good place to attract bad luck..."
marching order works out for me this way, it's about what we had before if i'm not mistaken... If somebody wants to mix it up a bit, i don't mind
The path is 1 square wide, so you'll be walking behind eachother all the way.
You continue on the path, looking at the statues and wondering what might have happened to them, how they might have looked, or at the clouds of snow drifting your way, and ponder how they might affect your journey.
Suddenly, a shadowy humanoid figure jumps up out of one of the alcoves from behind a statuette, and slams with his full weight into the unsuspecting Theor. Theor however reacts quicker than you (or it) anticipated, and the creature failed his surprise charge.
The creature lets out a horrifying scream, and attempts to try again. Theor prepares to hold back the creature, but then a second screams seems to come from behind him...
Do not read:
He is distracted and is pushed off the cliff.
Bull rush 2:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 Falling dmg:2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5[spoiler=Theor]You are now aware where the second scream came from. The second creature is hunching over you, preparing to strike.[/dice]
Be sure to check the map Lynthara. You coat a 10 feet square, so it's impossible to do without hitting Theor, I believe.
You can "make" a drawing of 10 by 10 on the spot to show me where you'll target.
I'm afraid I'll have to play hard, and say that you can't really see the target, so you have little idea where it is. Unless you target the intersection of squares on the upper right corner of the square where Theor is at, you don't have a line of sight. >> I'll assume you delay.
It's a very narrow walkway for a reason. :(
Lynthara hesitates as she cannot see the creature. She wants to shout at Theor, but too late notices that he didn't turn around towards her, but is in fact distracted by her before being pushed off the cliff.
