Duradlara can tell that someone or something barred the set of double doors from the other side. Working diligently she is able to slip a blade between the doors and heave up on the bar. The bar falls to the ground on the other side freeing the doors as they easily swing open.
This vast natural cavern is drowned in darkness. To the southeast,
a ring of towering black basalt menhirs surround a great gaping
pit torn into the cavern floor. Spiraling runes etched in white
chalk cover the faces of the standing stones, which are painted
with fresh blood. The bodies of two frost giants lie on the floor
outside the ring. A border of countless skulls, both human
and animal, surrounds the pit. A break in the border forms an
entrance leading to the edge of the pit. There, a flight of stone
steps carved into the perimeter descends into the abyss. The air
above the pit seems to waver and ripple as if from heat, though
there is no discernible change in temperature.
Slowly circling the perimeter of the stone ring
trots a fierce-looking centaur carrying a great warhammer,
his hirsute body drenched head to hoof in blood. The gore sodden
centaur is Vsevolod, priest of Kostchtchie, covered
in the blood of his last two frost giant allies, whom he has
apparently just finished ritually sacrificing. Turning to you he smiles cruelly.
Excellent, you are just in time to join my latest servants
as a fitting sacrifice. They granted me powers to defeat you
while your blood spilled upon the menhirs will be enough to
enter the Eon Pit.

As everyone sits tight, Greta looks around and bolts to her right, closer to the standing stones - "Very well, let's play smart for a change - can't always be stupid Greta alone up front. There is something lurking in the shadows THERE!" - she warns the others, pointing to the corner.
"You're an idiot and nothing more" - she roars at the centaur - "And you will be just another corpse in out path like the others"

Shaking the effect away, Helgash follows Greta and channels his holy powers to heal himself.

"Why don't we ever stumble on the lair of friendly pixies with magical mead? Why is it always Bad Guys with Eon Pits?" says Cynehelm, preparing to cast a spell.

Vsevolod gets rocked by a massive fireball as he literally steps into harms way instead of ducking behind a menhir. At least the fireball burned up the arrows that Orgar launched at him saving him from taking that damage as well.
Having gotten hit so hard he targets Cynehelm with a spell trying to blind the spellcaster.

Calling out to the creature in the shadows it emerges ready to trample down anyone in its path. it charges forward and uses it mighty length and reach with its lance to strike at the hopefully blind Cynehelm.

Cynehelm blinks away the shadows from his eyes just in time to see a centaur charge and nearly skewer him. As it his he is bowled over and badly hurt. He moans a little.
Cynehelm runs backwards, praying for aid as he does so.

Jetro isn't going to allow that crispy fried critter get away and aims his arrows at it.
Seeing the second Centaur, Orgar decides to help his mates in front of the new centaur.
He moves up between Cenehelm and Helgash and casts a spell: « დაჩქარება » . .
Orgar then puts away his bow, getting his scimitar ready.
Jetro fires a few arrows at the centaur hoping to drive it to the ground. The first arrow was wide of the mark but the second scored a solid hit. Orgar moves up drawing his weapon and dropping his bow. Upon reaching his location he casts haste upon the 4 of them.
Greta can feel her body infused with the magical power conjured by Orgar, as if an urge to move faster and further away - seeing all her companions engaging the immediate threat, she gives into it and swiftly moves to engage the more distant enemy.

Helgash swings around Orgar and from his body emits a holy radiance to heal himself and his closest companions.
Vsevolod steps back and casts a spell on Greta. Will save DC16.
The svathurim sees Orgar there and charges forward with his lance.

Jetro shoots at the lancer
Jetro landed 2 arrows into the centaur like creature with one of them being a critical hit!

"Very well then" - Helgash growls and moves forward to attack their opponent before it has a chance to charge a third time - "Face me monster"
"Destroy it Cynehelm!" - he roars.
"You are a fool" - Greta growls, swinging as hard as she can against her foe.
Greta lays a 1-2 blow tot he centaur leader that brings him dangerously close to death. Helgash then moves in taking an AOO by the large creature...

Helgash then just misses the thing with his greatsword. However the gambit worked and Helgash is now within its large reach and cant use its lance to full effect.
Cynehelm is filled with righteous anger, and unleashes his last empowered fireball.
"Learn now the wages of sin!" he cries, hurling Sarenrae's cleansing fire across the room.
The elf's disembodied voice calls out, "Focus on the centaur-ipede!"
Reflex save
The centauipede, as Duardlara is wont to call it as it just eludes her to what it truly is, uses all 8 legs to jump out of the way of the fireball. Yet it’s cold nature means that the damage is still significant.

knowing what Greta did the last time Vsesolod steps back away from her again prompting her to step up to threaten him. When she does so he swings with his hammer instead of casting a spell. Likewise the maneuver gave the summoned creature a chance to charge Greta even though the move would provoke an attack from Helgash.

Jetro keeps shooting at the lanceapede
Duardlara definitely hits the centaur drawing blood and he looks extremely worried now as only his high con bonus is keeping him upright. Helgash strikes a blow on the svathurim as it left him. Jetro just missed with his last arrow as a spasm of intestinal gurgling caused him to miss.
Torn between healing his friends and trying to put down the two centaurs, Cynehelm bites his lip and opts for offense. Fire seems to work well but he has used all his fire spells save burning hands, for which he needs to get much closer. So he advances and fires a different spell instead.
