"Sure, why not?" agrees Tal. "I'll take the first watch," she suggests as before.

So there were beds back in the wizards room, 4 of them. We can bed down there.

cure moderate powerful healing on jim: 2d8 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 + 5 = 16

rnd: 1d8 ⇒ 6 rnd: 1d20 ⇒ 14 rnd: 1d4 ⇒ 3

With healing done you settle in for the night. It is uneventful. In the morning you can resume your journeys.

Do we still get the same benefits from the fountain of water we had before?

Tal is immensely thankful that sleep remains uninterrupted. "So, we ready to head down into the depths again?"

Spellcraft writing spells, web: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Spellcraft writing spells, see invisible: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

in the morning heading down, but we never touch level 1

Jim nodded, "Yes I'm ready. Are you planning to scout ahead?"

Do we still get the same benefits from the fountain of water we had before?

Tal is immensely thankful that sleep remains uninterrupted. "So, we ready to head down into the depths again?"

The benefit appears to be permanent.

"My master has been gone a long time, are we not going to go find him? He left his ring and it seems to be glowing but it was not glowing when we went downstairs'

There was another door to explore above the one going down where Sam the giant was. About a third of level two is left unexplored but that is up to the party. However, you is going to take the patriarch's ring?

Tal has the lion ring? Well, it is glowing.

"Good point, Planchett. My ring's glowing too. Maybe another sign that we oughta stay upstairs?"

Tal has had enough of glowing rings for now, and sees if someone else wants to pick up the newest one. But she tries to study it without touching it.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Felix looks at the ring and shrugs. "I can wear it for a while. It seems a lucky trinket, the user dies when he is not wearing it!"
He then points to the uncharted door."Lets check it up, I have to be honest nothing better to do!"

No silly bean, it's your ring with George in it that's glowing, I think it might be sensing another mitraic artifact nearby, like brighter and louder humming the closer we get to it. Remember we are looking for a belt, amulet and a mace.

You stand in front of the double doors.

Jim tries to open them and peers inside.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

He sees a T-shaped passage. What is the party doing for light btw?

Felix smiles and points to his eyes, happy having darkvision and sneaks forward to check the left passage.
Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

You see a curving passageway off to the right and left. Appears that if might go in a circle.

Tal lets her keen-eyed half-orc friend do the scouting, while conjuring Dancing Lights to allow the rest of the party to see their surroundings.

Well Dancing Lights does give off light as a torch and you can control it pretty well, but the problem is the duration is only 1 minute.

Can she just keep the lights up as the party is in non-combat situations? It would be like a spell with duration Concentration + 1 minute.

as the party is in non-combat situations

Just as she says that two cb bolts come from out of no where at here, flat footed:

heavycb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
heavycb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

roll init

Thank goodness it's minimum damage!
Initiative: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

init enemy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

::Mutters:: Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 LOL back to my normal rolls I see

Ini: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

I cast light on my wand of shield, that way I have it at the ready, in addition, Zireal shreds light also.

initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Not at all sure of where those nasty crossbow bolts came from, Tal focuses on enhancing her allies for battle! Haste!

Is there a map to this? I still see the map from the ghoul fight.

GM am I right in thinking we can't see any enemies yet on the map? Also can we go east? If so Jim will advance as far as he can. Edit I've double moved Jim.

He was not moved. A single move east and you can see a firing port in the wall to the east of you. Someone is in there with a heavy Cb!

Felix, trusting his stealth, slowly moves up, trying to get close to the CB.
Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

[Dice=Stealth]1d20+17

You will be able to get an attack on him from stealth, but through the arrow slit he will have improved cover. You don't see how else to get at him at present.

Move up to the port hole drawing his sword activate weapon of the chosen and holy strike, ready to strike next round

Tal tries to keep up with the others! One move action = 60' thanks to Haste, so just a bit behind.

From the arrow slit come two bolts:

two attacks against Jim

heavycb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

heavycb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Ciri
Thoron

Move up to the arrow slit, swift to activate arcane weapon, cast magic missile through the hole

MM cl7: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 1) = 9

Four orcs with heavy crossbows and scimitars wait in
hiding here. One orc can fire two bolts per melee round while
his two comrades cock and reload them. There is a small
firing port in the wall facing room 2-5.

Felix stealthily moves forward and waits till the ork looms out, then he quickly stabs inside.
