"Aahz? Aahz! HAng on!,..." Kemnebi shouts, or tries too. The words come out blurry and fuzzy.
The feline mage tries to stand, and rolls on his back, clutching his head for a moment in pain. He shakes his head as if trying to clear it of cobwebs, and seems unaware of the blood coming from his nose. He moves a little slower, and gets to his knees, trying to extinguish Aahz. He concentrates for a moment, (which sends another spasm of pain across his features), and waves his hands over Aahz, sending a fine mist to cover the young godling.
The mage looks up, and his eyes widen as he realizes the situation.
'June? Neb!?' He calls through the link. (Even this seems unfocused compared to his usual mental chatter.)
In the mind link: Haaa Haaa Haaa haaa whos next ya snake fanged vermin. Nobody moves a dwarf ifin he does not want to go. Who threw d' Fire ball my thanks, Tis a fitting end to a dwarves life to die in battle entomed with your foes. But I am not ready to go I stil have some things fo finish. I am outside of the 5 foot tunnel, entomed in an area of dirt, I have air, though from where I know not But am alive, and healing. Astino was in the 5 foot cave that is now sealed. The cave and our foes are completely cut off from us when the ceiling fell. a few killed in the blas but most were thrown into the side passages and buried when those too collapsed. Dig us out me last, asiniosis the first priority for thinkhehas no air.
I checkout my immediate area and try to move around to see if I can turn 180 derees to face ou original tunnel and start digging back towards paty.
Astinos glances back over his shoulder, deep down enjoying the closeness of Decidio's warm body, yet focused on the task at hand.
"My Lady, are you alright? I know that itt is because of you that the fire did not harm us."
Yes; she is in range and the dirt in this case does not interfere.
Nebbebit feels Astinos' aura of courage wash over her, banishing the terror and despair.
concern; anger; disgust; anything but fear or terror.
even panic from being buried wont happen as the faith of Astinos Aura banished those thoughts and fill anyone in the area with feelings of wellbeing that everything will turn out ok; almost like his diety is smiling on you with assurance.
This puts out the fire.

Moving just compacts the dirt and causes more to fill in and will wedge you tighter.
Astinos only: <direct telepathy>
"M'lord; are you well? Do you think we will be removed before you suffocate; such a waste yet not the most unpleasant way to go; perhaps there are....options."
Nebibit; your pinned; but your ankles are in someones grasp...
who is pulling on the beautiful legs sticking out of the dirt?
As the smile creeps across his face, he cannot help but chuckle warmly.
We will survive my dear, I have much faith in our companions. Still if Iwere to choose my company at the end I do not think I could choose better. Or have more alluring companionship to while away the time spent trapped here, though I should probably conserve what air I have left.
Ok; we will need fortitude checks for all those who are smothered and cannot breath; Llvenoc and Durr have two rounds they can breath without checks. Everyone in the main chamber has five rounds they can breath without checks.
The oppressive sense of this unsafe cave and no apparant way out should be heavy on most peoples minds.
Fort save
While dying of suffocation isn't a pleasent thought. I can definately think of worse ways to go.
My concern is with saving the Jewell, and the others so I keep digging.
who is pulling on the beautiful legs sticking out of the dirt?
I am!
Fort save
Kemnebi places a gloved hand on Aahz's small form. He knows that the young godling is more powerful than he can realize, but all he sees right now is a small, injured child.
"It's all right Aahz, your going to to be fine." He says reassuringly even while he realizes that he's not getting a response to his mental call. A look passes over his face. The mage reaches up to tap the large centipede necklace with one claw.
'I need your services. We need to know the nearest open tunnel the direction we were going, or we're going to suffocate in here. Can you find it? Quickly?'
The feline mage looks at the Fox-masked mage, almost nose-to-nose over young Aahz' form.
"I've got a teleport spell, but it's a simple swap spell, not an escape jump. What about you? Any move earth or similar magics?" He asks softly.
"I've got a teleport spell, but it's a simple swap spell, not an escape jump. What about you? Any move earth or similar magics?" He asks softly.
Downcast, the little mage says quietly, "My useful magicks are largely expended. I know of the spell you speak -- I also prepared it today -- but that is all I have that I can think might be useful."
You see the centipede jot and shake; you think it is laughing at you...
to Nebebit only:
from the centipede: ""beware with this one master, way out; no way out to walk; dig or change reality. <it moves off and out of sight> This tunnel the crooked one and the dark one were digging; good route; echo sounding empty, open care area near; but near a life that isnt a life; beware, close to nest of snakes too; move quiet like death, I suggest master.
Aahz is out cold; bleeding; burned and unconcious; your hackles stand up as you realize that if his older brother or younger sister is looking; you could be in real trouble and yes; Aahz looks like a 8 year old kid and quite vulnerable and weak at the moment. His breathing is shallow.

I brace my legs against the uneven ground, grab those lovely ankles and pull with all of my might. I turn my head before starting to pull and tell the rest of the group: "A little help would be great, brute strength is not exactly my specialty!"
Oh Dear; am terribly sorry <all you cats look the same to me; lol; not; but sounded funny> Disregard; that message was for Kemnebi; sorry again. Had a blonde moment.
You see the centipede jot and shake; you think it is laughing at you...
to Nebebit only:
your going to need some help; if anyone helps you; that will be enough; and will pull both Nebibit and June out. Keep in mind; June is waering a very skimpy cheerleading outfit with a very short skirt :) and has the sexiest bare legs you have ever seen; grabbing her ankles sends a both of thrilling excitment and electricty through you; cute feet and adorable toe nails :>

Kemnebi frowns at something only he can hear, then mentally relays;
'The tunnel that Llivenoc was digging is the closest to another open tunnel. There is more room and air there. But be careful, I think there is a possible undead nearby, and almost certainly a nest of snakes.'
'Thank you.' He sends simply to the centipede as it returns to it's place around his neck. He doesn't flinch this time as it takes it's place, his focus on Aahz.
"I don't understand,..." he murmurs aloud thoughtlessly. "All of his power, how was he even injured? He should be able to heal himself? Unless, of course! He's young, inexperienced! He has to be able to concentrate! We have to stabilize him! We need,... Neb! If she hears me admitting I need clerical magics I'll NEVER live it down,..."
He glances over his shoulder at where June's and Neb's legs are sticking out of the dirt with Caer pulling on them. He almost chokes at the sight. The mage looks back at Fox wide-eyed, almost plaintively, then closes his eyes and takes a shallow breath.
'Fox, We have to help Caer with the girls! Only Neb can help Aahz! unless,...' His eyes widen in shock, and possibly denial.
'Help Caer! I'll be right there!' Kemnebi almost shouts mentally. He reaches down and grabs Aahz's head in both of his hands.
"You're going to be alright. I swear it!" He murmurs in Aahz's ear, and begins to glow,...

Kemnebi; the spell will fail.
Interesting attempt though; bonus 100 exps for you.
Basic game rule here: no creature that it requires a +1 or better weapon to hit may be healed by any healing spell. These are almost always outsiders and this is an effect of being from another plane. Now, Aahz has all kinds of odd rules being sorta this plane; sorta other planess, so figuring them out of part of the puzzle of the game.
Kemnebi frowns at something only he can hear, then mentally relays;
Aahz' eyes flicker open and he grimaces
"ow, ow, ow, it hurts"
Kemnebi's light fades slowly. He opens his eyes to look at Aahz, and looks like he might burst into tears. When the young godling opens his eyes and moans, he grins like a kitten.
"Aahz? Aahz! Thank Bast!" He mrows excitedly, clutching the child-deity in happiness, then quickly releasing him when Aahz cries softly in pain again. He murmurs an apology as he brushes the child's hair out of his eyes.
"It's ok. We'll take care of you. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but pain is actually a good thing. It let's you know you're alive!" He flashes a grin at the youth, his sharp teeth almost dazzling white from beneath smoke and dirt darkened fur.
The sound of digging makes Kemnebi glance over his shoulder.
"But first, we have to get out of here before we ALL suffocate! You just lay right there, I'll be right back! I promise!" He tells the youth, then turns and crawls over to where two pair of shapely legs are sticking out from under the dirt. He grabs one ankle of each lady, and a brief, almost imperceptible shudder passes through him. He grins at Caer for no obvious reason.
"Pull on three, Ready? One, Two, THREE!"
how are you applying your strength; consider that you are completely smothered; I just need the details and specifics of what your attempting.
Depends if her arms are still free she will either claw her way out or try to push her way out
"You're relying on me for strength? You've got to be kidding!"
Nonetheless, she appreciates being considered, so she crawls over while Kemnebi is trying to rewrite the rules of the world with his spell and grabs whichever ankle Caer indicates and pulls.

Ok; those pulling manage to pull out June and a round later Nebibit as June has her ankles. Even dirty and mussed; June still looks great in her cheerleading outfit; Nebibit looks a bit wild eyed.
a couple rounds later Durr and Llvenoc break through the side of the wall near the Jewel; they look dirty, sweaty and pretty much like everyone else.
Astinos; March; Kosan still trapped.
------------------
Aahz: "oooh; ow; I am really really alive; ah; ooh"
Kemnebi's white teeth shine like the moon in the midst of his dark and dirty fur. He positively beams as the girls both emerge from the dirt.
The mage places one hand on June's beautifully dirty face, and opens his mouth to say something, but is interrupted by another moan from Aahz,...
Aahz: "oooh; ow; I am really really alive; ah; ooh"
Kemnebi grins again. "That's ok Aahz, remember, it beats the alternative! Neb, I know that normally clerical magic won't work on deities, but Aahz is from this plane. SOrtof. Is there something you can do to heal him?" He asks, his concern for the boy obvious in his eyes.
He looks up as Jewel and Llivinoc are rescued from the dirt. He mumbles to himself as he looks around the tiny chamber.
"One, two, three,.... (mumble, Mumble)"
'We're still missing Astinos, March, and Kosan!' Kem thinks softly, 'C'mon cat! Put that big brain to work!,... Think! Of! Something! He puts his head in his hands,...
"Durr! There are others still trapped down the original tunnel -- can you get to them?" If the no-doubt-weary fellow starts digging that way, Fox will aid him in clearing dirt from his digging.
Ok; constitution checks for remaining conscious in this place.

Kemnebi grins again. "That's ok Aahz, remember, it beats the alternative! [smaller]Neb, I know that normally clerical magic won't work on deities, but Aahz is from this plane. Is there something you can do to heal him?"
Nebibit opens her mouth to protest. That her powers shouldn't be used on what is clearly Demon spawn but looking at Kemnebi she finds she cant say no "I- Don't honestly know I can at least give it a try." But Ill be keeping an eye on you and your two demon friends she thinks to herself as she attempts to use a basic healing spell on Aahz
Going to attempt a cure light wounds on him by trading in a divine favor.
"Thanks Neb" Kemnebi whispers to his friend, coughing slightly in the stale air. He reaches for June's hand as Neb begins her healing chant.
"Are you alright? I saw what you did. I tried to grab you both but, <cough> I saw you grab Neb. Thank you." He smiles at the otherworldly woman. He looks down at her skimpy cheerleading outfit, (Somehow still clean, and intact), back up at her face, and grins even bigger.
