...And in the last days, the sleep of a thousand years shall end when the herald appears, blotting out the sun in all its awesome glory. Its shuddering bulk shall sound the trumpets of destiny, those clarion calls to bring forth He Who Waits, the Dark God, the Wrongly Held. The 333 jewels that contain the dread master shall shatter, and the world shall tremble, wailing and clawing, begging their petty gods for escape from the wondrous return of the Unraveler, whose appearance shall set to right all wrongs, restore all balance, and reduce the abomination of creation to its primal, primitive state. Rejoice, for the end is at hand...
The words have haunted you and your friends since the first time you read them. At first you thought nothing of them...But than the sign appeared a fiery glyph burning bright in Oerth's sky.
Each day it grew. Certain magic became harder, and harder to use. The devout have all but lost communication with their gods.
It wasn't until you discovered the gems of Tharzidun that you found it was all tied to the Elder Elemental Eye. The gems are a key to his release, and the destruction of the world. With the help of the Circle of Eight you have found, or destroyed 45 of the gems.
The air is stale and the room is dark. Atleast it seems nothing has changed since you last left this room...
The Friends of the Wandering entered this ancient place in search of finding one of the gem. Mordenkainen, close friend and benefactor, supplied information that a gem was found, in the Castle Perilous, on the plane of shadow. He also suggested the use of an old, hidden gate, "The path will be shorter using it, and should be safer aswell."
The "Friends" found out soon that while the gate in conjuction with a Shadow Walk spell bought them in spitting distance of the castle. It was by no means safer. Almost losing Tarlan to shadow beasts, they found safety for a short time in the castle walls. Tarlan though was tainted by shadow-stuff. At first it was nothing, but soon his skin color changed to that of obsidian and his eyes became dark pools.
After finding the gem and battling back the horrors of the Castle Perilous the group finds itself back.

Kutho is careful not to let his guard down as the party returns to the Material plane...experience has taught him that the prime time for an ambush is when the enemy think they have no more to trouble them
For Lazaro
Raizen's eyes adjust to the darkness and see the world in black and white. The precious cargo hidden in his bag makes him more anxious than usual. He positions himself at a point where he can lob spells to any point in the room.
perception roll
Tarlan kisses the ground after making sure he doesn't see anything coming at him.
Tarlan then takes a sip from his flask.
"Ok, now what?"
Raizen
"Aaaaand we're back." Fragos strightens up after an awkward landing. "I always hated this transition crap."
"Now we find Mordenkaiden. See if he knows where any more of those orbs are."
Kelgan then rests his hand on the haft of his great-axe, preparing to unsheathe it.
Tarlan shifts his clothing and appearance to match the surrounding wall colors, making sure the blindfold is on and secure. (Face, head are covered and gloves are on.)
"Anyone need a light?"
Tarlan goes into the Dance of the Spider stance attempts to hide on the left side of the entrance into the room about 10' high on the wall.
attempted stealth (hide in plain sight) (1d20 53=63)
Tarlan is feeling a little on edge.

"We are being observed." Raizen warns the others.
For Tarlan
For Lazaro
At Raizen's warning, Fragos yanks out his own blade. As for now, he keeps its magical fire suppressed. "Say the word, and all hell breaks loose", he mutters back.
"I sense multiple targets coming from the Southeast."
For Lazaro
"This way."
Moving 3 squares south and then one west, using the corner as cover.
Stealth check 1d20-2=16.
Tarlan hears Fragos moving around.
"I hope whatever is coming is in good mood," Tarlan thinks to himself.

Kelgan draws his greataxe, a thin layer of frost already forming. He then slowly paces to his right.
1d20=14

Tarlan
You peer into the next room and see two rooms. In the doorway of the first room you see a short humanoid figure standing in heavy stone-looking armor.
The sound of clanking armor coming from your room attracts the attention of the creature. It turns; The monster looks elflike except for the oversized teeth filling it's mouth, and the pale gray skin scarred with runes and the spiraling symbol of Tharzidun.
"INTRUDERS", it shouts in a dry, rasping voice.
Tarlan, the creatures have yet to notice you. You've got a surprise round. Please roll initiative aswell please.
Jahangir whispers a command animating his shield and moves to square behind Tarlan. An unusual homecoming the paladin thinks to himself. Jahangir attempts to stretch his senses outward detecting for the foul presence of the enemy
Stealth 1d20+4-4=11
Jahangir facing Raizen jabs his sword to the se and then to the sw as if to ask which way.
"Away from the targets." Raizen points to the SW. "They're coming from that direction." He points to the SE wall.
Raizen wipes his forehead, "I'm getting old... I need something I can rely on."
Fragon nods to Raizen and readies his shield.
For Lazaro
Nodding to Raizen Jahangir warily backs up to his original location standing ready for the enemy.
"Away from the targets." Raizen points to the SW. "They're coming from that direction." He points to the SE wall.
Raizen wipes his forehead, "I'm getting old... I need something I can rely on."
Fragos mutters a command word, and his longsword bursts into flame.

Assuming I can make one untrained...)
knowledge check (1d20=4)
Tarlan moves slowly across the walls. He searches the depths of his mind trying to figure just what the creatures are, and what there weak points may be. But with no luck.
Jahangir's grip tightens upon the falchion. Through gritted teeth he spits, "Let them come."
On my turn
Knowledge (arcane) (1d20+28=37)
Raizen hears the angry shouts of "Intruders!" and "For Tharizdun!" He wills his wings to appear and moves swiftly to where Tarlan is. Seeing the enemy, Raizen wastes no time to fling a fireball into their midst.
"Karyuudan"
initiative 1d20+8=9...1st natural one of the game lets hope it isnt an omen
Kutho waits until all his companions have acted before moving swiftly(base speed 90 feet/rnd) towards the nearest enemy still upright and unleashing a flurry of blows upon him
attacks(vital strike) 1d20+23=27, 1d20+23=30, 1d20+23=34, 1d20+18=26,
4d10+7=33, 4d10+7=30, 4d10+7=35, 4d10+7=30 a total of 128 damage if everything hits
I was asking the other question about evil and type because of my holy and bane weapon abilities, not for character knowledge. If they go off when I hit, I will know in character then.
