After the second onslaught, Mordecai 5' steps back to get some room to breathe.
Mordecai will move in for a hideous blow, flanking if possible.
If that daylight spell didn't work, Mordecai will cast darkvision on himself.
"might as well spring it. no use in tiptoeing past all the dangers of this place..."
"Something magical in these pedestals and lamps..."
"I can see the traces of magic used to cloak them, but that is rarely good enough to see an animate target."
"caution is rarely unwarranted."
Mordecai will try to summon his eldritch energy in his hands to burn the vile vermin.
Mordecai will physically examine the two cloaks that look promising.
"Hmm, lemme look..." Mordecai says, peering at the cloaks with his arcane sight
"Perhaps we should check the closet first?"
Mordecai waits for a reaction from the boy from the others moving past before he moves past.
to determine the school of magic on each:
Mordecai will detect magic, focusing first on the incense burner, then the rug, then the chair, then the child.
Mordecai follows the direction of the group.
"I'm of no mind to play around with this phenomenon. We should move on."
"The magic in here is nearly blinding" Mordecai says with some discomfort, blinking away the bright lights.
"Well, I will see about the magic at least," Mordecai says, eyes taking a blue-green sheen.
Mordecai follows, letting settle the issue of the door.
"I will follow as you tougher sorts direct. I'd rather not be in front of our merry warband."
"Hmm. perhaps a... remote detonation?"
"I see no magic on it." Mordecai remarks, before backing up and giving the man room to open the door.
Mordecai will detect magic on the door to see if there are any magic traps or locks.
"Hmm, which direction shall we go?"
Mordecai follows at a slight distance towards the middle of the party. Far enough back that he wont be the first to encounter a new threat, but close enough to the front he can step up in case his arcane abilities are needed.
"I should say so."
"I am unscathed, but Hess took a mighty slam from the creature. Let me get a look at those stones..." Mordecai will detect magic on the stones.
Mordecai once again slams the rock with a ghostfire-wreathed fist.
to hit
Mordecai steps forward and winds back his arm, his gauntlet spilling over with eldritch energies. As the hideous blow connects, the creature is rocked by the force of the warlock's strike.
to hit
"I don't anticipate much in old stones, but I've been surprised before..." Mordecai does as bidden, searching the stones in particular with detect magic.
Mordecai will follow his companions, careful to cover up with his cloak so the vile mist cannot find purchase on his skin.
"I shall take a closer look." Without getting closer to the bodies, Mordecai will focus on them with his gaze of detection.
also.... for good measure
"Interesting lack of decomposition," says Mordecai before casting his magically enhanced gaze on the bodies, expecting necromancy.
"Aah, I see. Not just metal, but even cloth. The mist seeks only flesh. Interesting. I am surprised I did not sense necromancy in this effect... No matter," Mordecai says as he pulls his cloak hood up and tightly envelops his whole body in the cloak before stepping through.
"Perhaps discretion is the better part of valor here. That mist might even be to keep those bodies in. Come on out, and we will return here. I am not going to walk through that mist, lightly armored as I am."
"Well, Sasha made it through in armor just fine but that rat did not. And now he says it is acid, not cold. I have no invocations to blow away mist. Sasha, can you see anything in there like a shield, table, plank, et cetera that we could hold above ourselves so that those of us without armor could make it through without that mist touching us? I looked around out here but I don't see anything."
"Hmmm.... does anyone have a shield?" Mordecai casts about for an intact door or something similarly slab-shaped and relatively thin of a material other than stone (which is likely too heavy for him to hold up).
"I do, but I have no way to confer such a resistance to you."
we havent gotten too far for you to *poof* in, heh...
"Do what you must, I was just checking it out. No sense letting you run through some acidic fog if the good ol' rock test could have saved you" Mordecai says, as jovially as he can pretend to be.
