Chui, seeing those lizards, turns to Hanupah, but speaks just loudly enough so the others in the group can hear. Have you more spells to calm or control animals? I can freeze one in place and take control of another directly; perhaps we can together turn them on the guardlings, if another can get them unchained.
Tyug'u takes a peek out of the tunnel, trying not to be seen by the guards...
7 ranks +3 trained +3 dex
Ducking back around the corner, Tyug'u whispers "I won't be particularly quiet, but I think I can clear the Tasloi... "
Jaidu is seen leaning off a wall. His blue eyes studying the scene; while his hands are making bullets.
Any of our spellcasters got dimension door prepared? That would be fantastic!
The Gunslinger then shrugs if nothing similar is offered.
I supposed it would be a daring crossing. I would like not to be on it once the shit hits the fan though.
Nuriyah peeks out after the alchemist, grimacing at what she sees. "Go for it, Tyug'u. I don't particularly fancy crossing that thing while enemies are hurling boulders at me."
Phoibe looks at the thing and nods and whispers ok back up and lets see what we can do from here so we don't have to fight across the bridge, but be careful what you do with a spell so you don't drop the bridge on us and we can't cross
"I can cross the bridge before they hurl rocks but then it puts me on the far side alone dodging boulders and reptiles. So, I'll just wait and see how the bomb lobbing goes." Takeda says adding to the conversation.
No, I have a better idea. Let Ubtao, through me, grant all of us the ability to simply walk across the ceiling of the chamber. They can't expect that!
Ah, good idea.
Nuriyah grins at Chui. "You can do that? Amazing! I've never walked on a ceiling before, sounds like fun."
Jaidu looks up at Chui.
How do I become a f$@+ing druid!
Chui is heartened to find himself the center of praise and leader for this part of the mission.
It takes long hours of study and the favor of Ubtao. But there are many useful skills in the world, and you have many I lack. Once I do this, I will not be able to again until the morrow, though I still have many wonders I can perform. Gather round.
Timerus looks again at the Ledge across the way. I can get rid of the Tasloi for certain. Ill stay here and prepare a fireball for when youre close to being across then hit the Tasloi on the ledge with it.
Then Ill walk across.
It looks like two have saved.
Once Chui's spell takes effect, Nuriyah begins walking up the wall towards the ceiling. The fire genasi pauses upside down to applaud as Timerus' fireball explodes on the tasloi. "Very nice! Is it safe for us to go attack them, or do you want to throw another fireball?"
Jaidu also begins walking the green mile across the cavern to the action....

The tasloi scramble as our heroes walk the ceiling. Well, except Timerus.
Takeda joins the group going across the ceiling of the cavern.
Phoibe will make her way a bit forward with stealth her shadows following along attached for now and after the fire ball bursts will look at the group to see if there is another fire ball or if she should rush the little buggers!
Chui keeps Windaghi outside of the blast radius of any fireball, but as they get within 40 feet of the Tasloi position, he prepares to order a charge to disrupt any effort to bar the party's way.
Takeda scrambles along enjoying the sensation of walking on walls. Finding his wall walking speed is much slower than his regular speed he settle into rhythm until he makes it across to the tasloi guard post.
The tasloi retreat into an cavern opening that is big enough for them. The boulders they have are still unused.
Jaidu walks the ceiling in the direction of the retreating tasloi.
Nuriyah picks up the pace, running across the ceiling toward the retreating tasloi. "Come on, people! They'll get reinforcements if we don't catch them!"
Timerus closes his eyes briefly and calls up his power to control the immediate destiny of an individual and uses it to alter his immediate future and starts across the rope bridge while the group closes on the Tasloi. He will handle the lizards when he gets closer.

Ah, neat.
Hanuhpa shakes his head at rhe mention of controlling animals. He abstains from the spell being as hes a creature that naturally sticks to most surfaces with ease.
Alrighty. Timerus may run into the lizards as he crosses the bridge.
Mid way across, Timerus pauses to pull a red cloth out of his belt pouch and wave it in the air as he intones and arcane chant. As he does so, near the Goat Lizards chained up, spiders begin to gather until there are literally thousands of them. Timerus, turns his gaze on the left Giant Lizard and the swarm of spiders move toward it...
Jaidu gives Timerus a pat on the back; as the gunslinger continues to walk the ceiling.
Takeda moves at top speed to cross the ceiling and intercept the tasloi.

The spiders swarm all over the lizards, making them retreat.
Timerus moves slowly across the bridge concentrating on keeping the swam present eating the lizards.
Phoibe continues on the ceiling not willing to charge by herself and waiting to see what the group will do as a whole.
Standing outside where he expects the blast radius to be, Chui pauses and hails the Tasloi. Come out with your empty hands raised, if you wish to live further. You see what will happen if you do not.
Maybe we can get someone here to talk to us. Can't take too much time, but these look weaker than the bugbear and that snake. It's the lowly that often have the most useful knowledge.

The fireball has hit the Tasloi.
Since boulders can be ostensibly bad for one's health, Takeda moves along the ceiling as quickly as the spell enables. He takes advantage of it all the way into the tasloi hold above the landing. Once in the room or cave that the tasloi are using as their defensive position he leaps down to engage in hand to hand.

You managed to knock out one Tasloi.
Nuriyah waits for a moment to see if any of the tasloi take Chui up on his offer to talk. They don't seem inclined to do so, or they don't speak the druid's language. She follows the monk, nimbly flipping down to lunge at one of the tasloi.

Tyug'u follows Timerus across the bridge, covering him in case the lizards try to rush the sorcerer. He's careful to keep the sorcerer between him and the swarm of spiders...
The bridge sways, with a two hundred foot drop below. The lizards are too preoccupied with the spider swarm. The group that has gone over the ceiling, has made it to where the Tasloi are.

That's definitely a hit, and I would say your spear penetrated your opponent. There is a lot of blood.
Jaidu turns to Timerus.
What other fun spells you got?
Hanuhpah sits back for the moment and allows the violence to play out. Taking a small opportunity to misfortune hex a nearby tasloi.

The tasloi you targeted has misfortune. His AC is reduced by 2.
Tyug'u pauses to casts a worried eye on the attachement points for the bridge. He backs up off the bridge, so that only Timerus' weight is on it, and then examines the bridge attachements. Is it rigged to fall if there is too much weight on it (or otherwise trapped)? Miya slips out and examines the bridge as well

You find that the attachments are sound. That the bridge isn't trapped. It's only designed to sway as people walked on it. It looked like it can stay hardy.
Timerus continues to move slowly until he gets across. maintaining his concentration on the swarm to keep them together and assaulting the giant lizards. They keep biting and poisoning the lizards until the both succumb to injury or venom.
The giant lizards then collapse. Being unable to move, thanks to the poison in their systems.
