Now that everyone was awake, Kaalul could focus on his attack. Divinely attuning his hammer to strike at these beings of fire, the inquisitor smashes the chest area of of the elemental in front of him.
"Sis boom bah! Rah rah rah!"
Stauntram finishes off one elemental while Kaalul severely damages another. But they keep coming! Another joins the fray from around the bend in the hall.
But the elementals fail to land a blow on either dwarf.
In the thick of things now, Kaalul sees himself as a a holy blacksmith of Torag surrounding by the flames of the forge. He swings his hammer again.
"Go team! Go!"
Stauntram grows - and smashes!
Almost as an afterthought, Stauntram swings the dwarven weapon once more!
Martel's spell finishes, and he casts another, enhancing Kaalul.
"Fizz, try out that crown! We could use a little help." He urges the gnome.
Kaalul finishes off one elemental while Stauntram nearly kills another in one blow, the cold leaping from his weapon drawing a shriek of fiery agony from the elemental. But his second attack misses. Another fire elemental rushes forward and Stauntram would get to strike it as it moves but the other elementals and Kaalul are in the way.
Two of the elementals step forward carefully and they both lash out at the dwarves but none are able to strike them. The elemental who rushed forward nearly lands a blow on Kaalul but the dwarf's shield deflects the blow.
The elemental flings itself at Kaalul, striking and burning him, but it does not set him on fire.
"Kaalul!?" Fizz says as Kaalul's wounds close and appear on Fizz.

Would those elementals have been able to position themselves as they are on the map if Kaalul was enlarged? I didn't get a chance to update the map icon last night.[/ooc]
Kaalul strikes out at the elemental that just charged at him.
"Kaalul!?" Fizz says as Kaalul's wounds close and appear on Fizz.
"Gnome," the zealous dwarf replies.
Martel steps up behind Stauntram to deliver an enhancement, hardening the dwarf’s skin.
Stauntram attacks twice but can't connect with the enemy!
Another fire elemental rushes up and is struck by Stauntram's massive chain but survives! The four elementals continue their assault!
Kaalul is struck again (6 dam) but is already on fire. Stauntram is also struck (4 dam before DR) and catches on fire!
A fire elemental deals fire damage in addition to damage dealt on a successful hit in melee. Those affected by the burn ability must also succeed on a Reflex save or catch fire, taking the listed damage for an additional 1d4 rounds at the start of its turn. A burning creature can attempt a new save as a full-round action. Dropping and rolling on the ground grants a +4 bonus on this save. Creatures that hit a burning creature with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the burning creature and must make a Reflex save to avoid catching on fire. See Burn for more details.
Imagining how nice a barrel of cool, refreshing ale would be right now, Kaalul does his best to ignore the pain of his searing flesh and tries to down one of the enemies in front of him.
Kaalul quickly beats out any beginnings of flames upon him before they can spread.
"C'mon boyos! You were doing so good! That burnin' is gonna mess up yur beards." Fizz finishes with a quick chant.

Kaalul quickly beats out any beginnings of flames upon him before they can spread.
Fizz extinguishes the fire on Stauntram while Kaalul finishes off another elemental! His weapon sweeps through it leaving a pile of ash behind.
Martel switches to the wand, and puts a missile into the closest enemy.
Near-simulataneously scorched and drenched, Stauntram adjusts his tactics.
Slightly.
Careful not to smash the chain or the head into the walls or his companions, Stauntram draws back his weapon.
He then strikes down at the fire elemental next to him! However, the head bounces off the ground, he having misjudged the angle.
Another flaming form rounds the corner, rushing into the hallway and toward Kaalul. It and three others strike and grasp at Kaalul with their fiery limbs but he deflects the first blow with his shield, ducks under the second, and knocks the third aside with his weapon. The remaining elemental strikes at Stauntram but the dwarf's hardened skin denies the flaming fist.
It and three others strike and grasp at Kaalul with their fiery limbs but he deflects the first blow with his shield, ducks under the second, and knocks the third aside with his weapon.
Feeling like a bad ass, the taciturn dwarf does his best to not look like he's feeling like a bad ass as he swings at the most damaged enemy in range.
"Another one. I worry that there is something spawning new elementals. Is anyone available to peer into the fire room and check? A familiar, perhaps?"
"You boyos are finally dodgin' attacks! Nice!" Fizz yells as he jabd a thumb into a wound.

“l think we’re all pretty well pinned down here,” Martel replies to Kaalul as he fires off another missile. “unless we can sort of work our way forward as we fight.”
Stauntram wills his companion to glide through the stone, to take a peek around the corner from just within that wall.
"We press forward regardless."
Stauntram, Kaalul, and Martel each finish off an elemental.
Stauntram's elemental plunges into the wall.
Another elemental rushes to join the fight. It and an ally strike at Kaalul.
While one sweeps his legs, Kaalul leaps over the flaming form nimbly. Another strikes him and the blow is mostly blocked by Kaalul's shield but it still burns him somewhat (2 damage). He manages to shake out his flaming arm quickly before the fire spreads, however.
The earth elemental comes back and speaks in a gravelly voice.
"There are fire more coming but they seem to be simply running in one after another. I see no sign of something creating or summoning new elementals."
"Five more, though no sign of them being created!"
"You got it boyos! Yur on fire!" Fizz says with a wink.

Kaalul all but growls in frustration. He didn't like not knowing the source of the current threat.
"We need to advance as we clear out foes. Something's not right." He swings at the closer elemental in front of him.
Remembering his new summoning circlet, Kaalul focuses on it and is pleased to sense a connection to Torag's realm in heaven. He requests the aid of a lantern archon, which appears a moment later and fires two rays of light at the elemental that Kaalul is attacking.
Stauntram advances, to strike at more fiery foes!
Working together, the dwarves destroy the two fire elementals in front of them, leaving scorch marks all over the stone walls where the exploding cinders struck.
"That was quite a rush." Martel comments as he moves with the party. "Let's get this sorted, then we can go back to sleep."
Kaalul advances while Stauntram comes up behind. Then four more fire elementals rush around the corner! They surround Kaalul!
All four lash out with fiery limbs. Kaalul can hardly see for the heated air and smoke in his eyes. He knocks away two blows but two of the elementals strike him (2 and 2 dam). He manages to put out the flames of one but the other catches on his clothing, burning him badly (6 dam). The flames then burn themselves out.
"Your flames are nothing when compared to the holy forges of Torag!" Kaalul shouts as he attempts to shake off his burning hammer-arm before swinging again at elemental farthest from the others.
Kaalul also activates his Judgement ability, granting himself resistance to fire .
Above him, his lantern archon fires its holy lasers.
Eager to speed the advance, Stauntram powers forward to smash down the elemental!
"Ooh! I don't know what's happenin', but Kaalul is gettin' hurt. Evade more Kaalul!"

Martel stays behind Stauntram's cover, re-hardening the dwarf's skin as it starts to soften.

Kaalul proves himself a forgemaster indeed and smashes through another elemental with his hammer, scattering it into flaming coals. The lantern archon fires twice and manages to wound one of the elementals slightly. Stauntram rushes forward eagerly but trips and misses the elemental in front of him (just flavor, not fully prone). Martel enhances Stauntram while Fizz watches and cheers.
The elementals rush to retaliate but rush too much. The dwarves knock aside their fiery blows with cold hard steel, preventing any harm to themselves. Kaalul, however, continues to burn (2 fire dam before resistance).
Riding high this entire fight with the energy of his faith, Kaalul feels some of that energy fizzle.
The lantern archon hovers and fires.
With help from the blinding rays of light from his summoned angel, Kaalul smashes another elemental into cinders.
