Avenger raises his armor and shield and moves in. He strikes at the red cultist as he comes in, but the blow goes wide.

After spending some time patching up his wounds, Obahi reluctantly follows the others into the next series of rooms. They open the door, and he hears commotion coming from the doorway. He sighs, and runs inside, quickly examining the situation and slamming his firsts into the man again.
While Avenger of the Green misses, Obahi lands a glancing blow.

Before anyone can go, the Blue Cultist stands up (provoking from Obahi, Avenger of the Green, and Shadow), casts Heal on himself, then picks up his glaive.
Blood oozes out of him, and he continues bleeding.

Krakas strides across the room to get a better view, resorting to a different kind of magic, he rubs his hands together very quickly, before uttering a magical command that causes an arc of electricity to leap to the cultists and bounce between them.
"Staticus Arcus!"
He grins at the others, wondering privately if they are getting sick of his nonsense magical words.
As one of the cultist is down, Perla slips into the room across from the cultist, and takes her bow and aims at the still standing one.
" Hate wolves on your own time! Dirty Cultist! May Desna guide you to where you belong! Shadow, finish that one off!" Perla directs Shadow to the downed cultist, as the other tried to revive them with some type of spell. Probably necromancy She thinks
"Metallicus Dartus!!!"
Krakus' arc of lightning skips from one cultist to another.
Even with others in the way, Perla is able to hit the Red Cultist and Shadow bites the Blue Cultist, who falls again into a heap.
Qafathiel's dart-like weaponry pierces the Red Cultist, who collapses onto the floor.
The Red Cultist is Dying 1
The Blue Cultist is Dying 2, Wounded 1, and has 1 Persistent bleed damage.
Virgil has 15 of 30 hit points.
Each of the Cultists has a Lesser Potion of Healing, a Scroll of Fear, an Unholy Water, a Healer's Toolkit, and a gold piece.
There is a tunnel to the North, and a door to the East.
Obahi kneels kneels down next to the nearest cultist, puts one hand under their head, and the other on the forehead. He takes a few breaths and does a quick jerking motion with his hands resulting in a loud crack from the cultist's neck.
He pats down the body and puts aside whatever he finds.
"You okay, Virgil?" Obahi looks at the magus, seeing cuts on the orc's armour leaking red. He walks over to clean the wounds up.
Perla assist Obahi in dispatching the other cultist, taking her star knife out and with a quick shove in the throat would allow them to die. While Obahi goes over and helps Virgil, she inventories and informs the others of everything found, though she wasn't able to tell about the holy water at first, because she was not a holy person like that.
"I say we take the door first, then the tunnel. Someone should keep an eye on the tunnel however."
Upon opening the door, Obahi sees a short tunnel.
A muted roar echoes down the walls of this hallway. Near the eastern end, the worked stone give way to natural cave walls, just before the hall ends at an open shaft. Hanging over the edge of the shaft is a knotted rope — the end tied to an iron spike driven into the ground. The roar of cascading water emanates from the shaft.
Solras stays a bit behind the group, hoping to have the literal high ground in any potential encounter. "I'll stay a bit behind, as it's kind of hard to take damage from a high point like I did back there," she replies with a smug contented smirk.
Virgil nods in appreciation to Obahi. The Magus waits to see who wants to jump down the shaft....
Avenger offers Virgil a pomegranate.
Krakas looks at the others, then looking at the scrolls the cultists have, "Anyone gonna take those scrolls?" Kind of inching closer to taking them and adding them to his collection of scrolls.
He then proceeds to look down the hole, eying the rest of the group, "Well, I mean, I am not even. . .I mean I could probably climb down there but I am not sure I should go first,"
"I guess I'll go check it out? No other way to go, right?" Obahi starts to lower himself down slowly.
" Wait. How do we know this isn't the trap? Should we not check the other tunnel before a descent? What if something comes to cut the rope and split us?" Perla warns, though with Shadow sitting down at her legs it seems more like she is unsure how to get him down more than a true worry of something sneaking up on them, especially with a sharpshooter like Solras to guard them.
Virgil munches appreciatively the pomegranate from Avenger.
Scrolls? Go for it. I will follow Obahi.
Stowing his Warhammer, the Magus follows the Monk.
Obahi and Virgil climb down the rope.
As they are looking around, two squid, each the size of a dog begin swimming around them.

Perla takes the time to go and aim at one of the squid,, and shoots her bow at it, trying to kill one of them. As shadow can not attack them down there, Perla has him guard the rear just in case something comes from that way.
Perla's shot goes wide.
The 'Red' squid shoots out a cloud of bioluminescent mucus. Virgil and Obahi must make a Fort DC 18 or be sickened 1.
Then it makes two attacks on Virgil.
and . Both completely miss.

The Sickened Magus attempts to squeeze the squid billy!
"REALLY wish I would've grabbed an arquebus right now!" Solras says as she sits back, twiddling her thumbs and tossing the large ball of ammunition in the air. The ball wouldn't go fast or far enough to do anything underwater.
Virgil--Sickened not Stunned --decides to take advantage of that particular fact and casts Shield.
A sickening spray of mucus affects Virgil.
Virgil keeps his head above water, but can't hit the squid.

Surprising amount of fauna in these caves." Obahi ponders out loud, then is hit by a wave of shining mucus. He coughs and heaves "Ugh... That's disgusting!"

Qafa moves forward just far enough to get a good sight on the blue squid ...
"Metallicus Dartus!!!"
