Invandi continues to swing his shield ineffectually through the water against the closest of foes.

Sorry, I have been slammed with the new job. It doesn't excuse my weekend absence though, things have just been busy. I'm kind of in the same boat as Aurelian but I think I'm also finding myself really slow in checking in.
Invandi swims forward, slipping between electric bursts, to aid Aurelian Fauche with the nearest foe. for
Take care Tatienne. I can't think of anyone to add myself.
To add, I have been knee-deep in a new role within my organization though my official start date wasn't until a couple days ago. Life has been work recently, just trying to keep up with the flood of new things.
Yikes; that sucks. Good luck!
Invandi struggles as one of the skum finds purchase on his armor, but nods quickly to Houghton for skewering it off of him.
Invandi swims forward slowly and cautiously to see if any other threats lurk in the water.
Invandi strikes out with his shield at the foe in front of him.
Invandi carefully moves around the columns, while admiring their presence. While not knowledgable in their meaning or interested in asthetic, he recognizes them as relics of an ancient era. He lines up at the door, shield raised, and opens it when the party has gathered.
"Great news indeed! The more we can keep intact the more we can learn." "What does a recording gem look like?"
"Aoinse, lovely. What is your most important function? Also, what would the people of your time say the most exciting event they ever saw was?" Invandi can't help himself, the idea of bringing back possible ancient modern trivia for the Azlanti back home too sweet a tidbit to pass up.
Invandi nods along as the party tries to make peace with the device that may have knowledge of a time long past. This would be the talk of the town back home! "Anoise, a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Can we count on you to treat us amicably if we aid you in your mobility?"
"Would it be wise to turn one this key? Does it turn it on? What secrets might it know?" Invandi goes to strap down the clockwork's limbs before turning the key, unless someone stops him.
"I'm not too keen on the idea of having to swim through those sharks more than once. Swimming past them seems like it increases our odds of swimming into open water. Perhaps it would be better to go back and search the rest of the complex for what history we can preserve?"
I'm down with proceeding in that order... We did take a long rest though after the clockwork fight. here. Invandi doesn't cast spells so it's not a super concern for him, though I did reset his Martial Flexibility uses.
"I have no need of the ring. The sword though... looks magical enough. Does it do anything other than glow? My shield can already do that." The sylph looks around and takes in the area's ancient reverence to the gods. Dismayed as he realizes that his writing utensils won't work in this environment, he notices Houghton's tablet. "Brilliant. How did you come by one of those?"
Invandi levels from 7 to 8 (Started behind a level from the rest of the party.)
Invandi shakes off his underwater paralysis and swims to the top of the water. He takes his time climbing up to the room above. Once the party is all gathered, he looks at Houghton and gives him a small bow. "Thanks!" "Yeah," the sylph says as he looks back into the water below the broken floor "lets clear the rest of what we can easily walk to."
"Not again..." Invandi thinks as his body betrays his commands. A few short seconds of drifting in the water and he becomes slightly more assured. "Slightly better. I just can't move."
Invandi treads in place, focusing on the the grip of his shield.
Yuck, sorry to hear that Tatienne. Hope it's mild and fast.
Invandi drops with the party, loud and limbs flailing as if to try and swim through the air before hitting the water. He starts to struggle, wondering if the lightness of his elven chain and shield will drag him down before realizing that his motion upwards is effortless. He recalls then the effect of his newfound footwear and floats himself to the surface. He takes a curious look around before taking the opportunity to test something he has never done before. Leaning forward into the water, he takes a giant breath inwards... and finds his chest not complaining about the water coursing through it. Leaning back upwards with a smile, he laughs. "Hey, I didn't drown. I guess I didn't need all those potions I bought in the homeland."
The shield begins to glow like a torch, and he briefly pauses to examine the now-wet versions of the current drawings on the back of shield before plunging it into the water... so as to better see what lies below its surface.
Invandi chuckles "returners-laterers. Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?" He scans the room, interested in the content of the books. "This could be exciting later."
"It would be a shame to leave informative artifacts behind. Perhaps we can return at another time with someone better equipped to handle such a thing?"
Invandi follows Aurellian and Zay out of the room, raising his shield towards the doorway cautiously.
"Is it dangerous to take? Why wouldn't we just take it?" Invandi asks, confused as to why Houghton would make concern over loose valuables.
Just posting to say I'm here and checking.... Hope everyone is well.
I like the idea of swapping to a group initiative method. Aurelian's suggestion seems like a good method.
"I'm better now. Thank you Zay. These things are brutal." Invandi stands over the remains of the clockwork mage and his shield lights up with torchlight. He inspects the remains of the creature for anything loose or possible use. Once satisfied in his search, he takes out a piece of chalk and sketches the out a quick image of the things upper torso and head on the back of his shield. "If we're likely to run into one of these things again we should rest and prepare. We're no use to the living, or their remains, if we become corpses ourselves."
it's true; Invandi's current health was at half. (HP in stat bar was accurate.) Thanks Zay :)

Sorry guys, week got away from me. It's been a lot of overtime.
Watching the party take its hot beatings and turn towards mitigating the damage, Invandi trudges across the marred terrain. He picks his path carefully until he can clumsily splash through the fountain in an attempt to get provide separate targets to the orb.
Invandi tosses his shield while sprinting forward. Grabbing it back out of the air, he sets it a defensive wall aside Aurelian Fache. for
Happy New Years all :)
Flames ripple across Invandi, as if being fed by a small breeze before flickering out. Singed, but mostly protected by Zay's magic, he flings his shield out once again. "My parents used to argue over whether or not to close or open the windows. This is much worse." for
Combat Stuff: HP: 50/60 Spells: Fire Resist: 20
As soon as Zay's blast clears, Invandi follows behind it. Stopping at a point between the party and the patrol, he hurls his shield into the closest foe.
"I am fine." Invandi offers, surprised to walk away unscathed. "Continuing on seems a fine idea." Invandi readies to be a shield wall at the front of a line, but leaves the direction going to the members of the party who have been here before.
Invandi, surprised at the quick dropping of one of the elementals (given the party's concern about their capabilities), raises his shield against the larger approaching foe.
Invandi does indeed step forward, bashing his shield into the elemental.
Invandi will gladly take the slippers and accept energy resistance :) Taty, Invandi has a handful of water breathing potions (and sponges with water breathing applied), if you would like to use them.
Invandi hears the "conversation", if one could call it that. "They're mad. In the insane way. I don't think we can parley with them while they're in this state. Makes one wonder why they don't just leave." "Hot Glass. They saw us." Invandi's shield glows aa bit brighter. Active Spells:
Tatienne getting the slippers is cool.
He'd suggest borrowing the ring of swimming, but already has two ring slots taken. Hopefully we come across another set of slippers or something similar later in the game For the elemental fight, Invandi is sort of limited. I plan on starting the combat with Martial Flexibility using Lantern Style and Lantern Light so a thrown shield can bypass DR/-. Not much else in his bag of tricks to help.
"Hmm... nice armor. No need for it though." Invandi says as he taps onto the mithril chain he is already wearing.
Invandi watches as the bee approaches the sailor. "That's unnerving..." He thinks about it for the moment, and the constant breeze that seems to flow around him slows to a halt. He takes a quick sketch of the bee on the back of his shield, using a stick figure of Houghton as a reference to size. "How many do you think are in a swarm? Do they keep their numbers when they are that size?"
"Thanks for the using of your wand, Zay." Invandi looks around the pillars, and is amused at the sight of the bird and human working with ropes and leverage to achieve their objective. "Smart!" "Perhaps some of the locals have notes or observations about the temple or the guardians in the area?"
