Patrick is flipping through his notes, attempting to see if there are any doors that they missed.
Looks like the only way we can go from here is back out the way we came. And as far as I can tell, the only place we haven't been is a room that can only be access through the yellow teleporter, which means encountering Daegros again - assuming he is still there.

"Do you think Daegros is going to be reasonable if we went to talk with him or should we just leave him here?". Ignatius shuffles his feet nervously. "Even if he is some kind of mad wizard, it doesn't seem right to leave him here."

Shardra sighs. "We'll have to talk to him one way or another. He did seem a bit..." Shardra doesn't continue with her train of thought. "We may need to slay him and cleanse this place."

"I think we are all in agreement about talking with Daegros instead of leaving him here. I think we should be prepared for a fight just in case. And we have to assume that he's watching us right now, so if he does want a fight he's going to have an edge on us. He'll be prepared."
| Shardra the Dwarf | 
"Yes, let's go talk to him and see what he has to say."
| Shardra the Dwarf | 
Shardra will start walking towards the yellow transporter. "Come on, boys. Let's go check Daegros."
| Shardra the Dwarf | 
Shardra can cast Haste before we go in, if needed.

Taking a moment before entering, Edmund breaks open a clay jar- exposing a light purple substance inside. Grabbing a handful of arrows, he dunks them into the broken vessel before discarding the object. All the while, his face distorts just slightly- taking on a wider shape with small horns appearing on his forehead.

Ignatius sees that right in front of the door a hideous female monstrosity crafted from body parts stitched together with thick string, wire, and metal staples lurches to horrific life and she really has a strange elegance at the same time.

Patrick immediately sees that this is a newly created flesh golem. A flesh golem is usually a ghoulish collection of stolen humanoid body parts, stitched together into a single composite form BUT this one seems to be have been created recently from the parts of a single female human. Her cadaverous flesh has a sickly yellowish tint.
Patrick also knows that adamantine is needed to properly penetrate the skin of such a flesh golem and that it resists most magical effects!
You all realize that this monstrosity has no tongue and only emits a hoarse roar of sorts.
It walks and moves with a stiff-jointed gait, as if not in complete control of its body. Still it is able to move its arms.

One fist hits Ignatius right in the face and the other is about to knock into Hanzi's chest when Shardra's haste spell gives him the necessary edge to move his body in time.
Daegros is still nowhere to be seen.

Shardra calls upon the spirits to grant misfortune on the lady.
Misfortune: As a standard action, Shardra can force an enemy within 30 feet to roll twice on all ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks and take the lower roll for 1 round (Will DC 18 negates). She can’t use misfortune on the same target again for 24 hours.
Chant As a move action, Shardra can chant aloud and extend her evil eye and misfortune hexes by 1 round for all targets within 30 feet.

Knowing that the creature was large, I would have Ignatius move all the way into the corner to give at least one other person room to get into melee. Is it all right if I move Iggy into the corner?
"It didn't have to come to this!" Ignatius shouts as he recovers from the punch.

DC 20 to pinpoint the square so you know exactly where he is. I put the icon on the map but please be aware that he is still invisible so please roll concealment where <50% is a miss.

I actually did roll the concealment in my post. I always assume high is good, but I didn't specify.

Shardra moves up. "Not sure where you are! But good luck trying to defeat us. You wont succeed. Give up now."
Will use Misfortune (doesn't say anything about seeing the target).
| Crowe Elberion | 
Line of Effect: A line of effect is a straight, unblocked path that indicates what a spell can affect. A line of effect is canceled by a solid barrier. It’s like line of sight for ranged weapons, except that it’s not blocked by fog, darkness, and other factors that limit normal sight.You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast.
My bold and italic. Line of effect does not necessitate being able to see the target.
