The bolt of Acid fires out from Kolgun and splatters into the creatures chest, causing it to snarl in a fury. It looks just about to lash forward when Thel stabs around the corner, the first of his attacks slicing along the beasts shoulder. The wounds are starting to show on the undead, but it does not look in danger of faltering yet.
Growling in anger the creature surges forward into Bengal biting and clawing at her in a rage. The magics lay down over her seem to have protected her well, however, as only a small scratch is left from the creatures assault.
Fortitude Save DC 15
Bengal quickly strikes out at the creature, grateful that she was only hit once.

Shaking off the effects of the claw, Bengal slashes towards the creature, but it is surprisingly nimble and evades the attack easily.
The sword that seems to simply float in the air is more a challenge however, but even still it draws away slightly so the wound isn't so dire as it could have been.
The undead beast now looks as if it is in pretty bad shape but it is still solid on its feat.
Gagging, Thel will give the undead creature two quick jabs.

=== Attack Rolls ===
Round 2 attack rolls--no adjustment for cover. (1d20+3-2=21, 1d20+3-2=10)
Confirm Crit on first attack (1d20+3-2=2)
=== Damage Rolls ===
With gagging modifier (1d6+1-2=4, 1d6+1-2=4)
Due to the crampted quarters Kolgun will leave the hand to hand combat to those better suited. But he does not under-estimate the beast's danger, and thus calls upon his faith to help heal injuries it causes . . .

The gnome readies another blow at the undead creature, sending out the fist of force and this time striking it in its chest though it is a glancing blow. Likewise, weakened from his vomiting, Thel manages to hit the creature but does a small amount of damage. It finally is looking as if it is going to fall at any moment, still it has the strength to lash out at bengal once more. In its wounded fury it manages to bite at her and catch her with its claw.
Seeing his comrades wounded and the creature still standing, Kolgun lets out a burst of positive energy, healing all his allies for 1 point and doing minor damage to the creature.
on lorens turn
two options
1.If Bengal is still standing and ok to fight, loren will attack with his HOA and then move 15ft westwards,
HOA attack is 15 (i assume that misses)
2.if bengal is paraylized or goes down then he will drag her away moving 15ft westwards
With the other blows, Bengal then crumples down to the ground, bleeding from the wounds she has received.
Aldrin will curse under his breath, saying something about cat's and now only having 8 lives left, and will jam a cure light wounds potion down her throat.

Stepping in just a bit closer to the disgusting creature and clearly not pleased to be doing so, Thel gets away from the wall that was offering the creature a hint of cover.
He slashes out with his blade but the creature sidesteps it easily. However, it is clearly un-prepared for the offhanded dagger coming its way, and Thel forces it cleanly into the beasts skull, leaving it rocking for just a moment before it collapses in a disgusting heap.
This door, like the other, moves to swing closed when the beast falls.
After the wretched beast falls Kolgun steps to keep the door from swinging shut.
Once the door is secured he'll look to the aid of Bengal, laying a hand on her shoulder and calling on his faith . . .
She hugs Kolgun, then sits down on the floor for a moment, still badly beaten from the creature, "Well, I think we should call it a day, yes? I don't know if I will be able to handle another battle."
i agree with bengal, i have used most of my spells for the day, but if the rest of you wish to continue for a while i am happy do do so
"Well, I'm still at full capacity since all my spells affect the living, and we've fought nothing but the dead. I'm ready to keep going, but I understand if the rest of you need to rest. I wouldn't mind the opportunity to better prepare myself with a spell that will be useful against the undead."
Was going to go for the Heal skill at level 2.
As far as delving vs. resting, I'm good to go for more exploring.
Helping the dwarf hold the door open, Thel grunts out his feelings on the current delve. [b]"I say...*urgh*...we keep looking around. Last time...*oomph*..we left...*groan*...more of those goblins...were waiting for us..."[/b
Thel looks around, for anything to wedge the door open.
Perception, anything to wedge the door open (1d20+2=22)
Finding anything, Thel will use it to keep the door open.
Kolgun reaches into his pack and hands Thel a spike. "See if you can wedge this in to hold the door, or just place it to keep from closing."
He then approaches Bengal, closes his eyes and a wave of healing passes through him . . . .
"If you can stay on your feet a bit longer, I'll take your position at the front."

It actually looks like the best thing to prop the door open with would be the body of the creature itself, though looking past it the room inside doesn't seem much different then the previous one. It is empty aside from the body and a thick layer of dust on the floor, an intricate symbol inlaid in the stone barely showing through.
Thel kicks the corpse into the doorway, and goes into the room, taking 20 to search the room for anything of note (20+2=22 Perception), careful to avoid the inlaid floor.
i think it would be wise to behead anyone or anything we kill down here, it may seem a bit paraonoid but if there is someone raising dead down here then we do not want to give them more bodies,
thel? will you do this?
She smiles, "If everyone else wishes to continue on, then I shall be fine. I am still a bit hit, but I will use one of my potions so I do not burn you out Kolgun. Thank you."

Looking through the room, Thel you don't find anything else unusual beyond the inlaid floor. The pattern on this one seems slightly different then the one in the previous room, but the design is still very similar and still holds the signs of the moon goddess in it.
Beyond that, the only thing strange about the room is its complete lack of everything. No secret doors, no furniture, no decorations of any kind. On the inside there is not a door handle, just like the outside, so whatever creature is in here would have no way out until the door was opened.
Using his rapier, Thel slices off the head of the creature, hoping that it won't resurrect. Noting the inlaid tile pattern, he then goes back to the pool of water, looking at the doors to the east, wondering what lies beyond them...
Leaning against the door, Thel places his ear against the door, to hear if anything is on the other side.
Perception (Listen) (1d20+2=6)
Kolgun joins Thel next to the door, his hammer at his side. A light of curiosity burns in his eyes.
Thel signals for Bengal to come over and work her magic on the locks.
Bengal heads over to the door, hoping that there aren't anymore of those creatures from before behind it as she bends down to pick the lock.

The double door opens easily at Bengal's skilled touch, though it was obviously never well locked. Inside appears to be what was once a library, though it likely cannot be called that anymore. The shelves are broken down and books are strewn about the floor in piles. The dampness of the dungeon has caused many of them to mold and rot to the point of being ruined.
Thel steps into the moldering library, nearly losing his balance on a book which has turned to mush. The smell of mildew and rot hangs thick in the air, and after the near-miss with the undead creature, Thel nearly loses his morning meal once again.
Seeing that there may be some signs of salvageable reading material, Thel searches through the books...
Perception check (sight) in the library. (1d20+3=23)

Beginning to dig through the books, Thel manages to scrounge up six different tomes that have escaped any real damage. All but one are somewhat mundane, discussing varied topics such as philosophy and history, though they are somewhat outdated now. They could be of some small value to a collector perhaps.
The final one however is different. It seems to speak of the goddess Glarias and something known as "Glarias' pool", and though it is written primarily in a common tongue, it has a mixture of magical formulae spread throughout it.
Loren's eyes light up when he sees the books (especially the last one!)
Thel let me have a look at the books please
perhaps we should stay in this library for a while and see what we can find
perhaps bengal should search the library as she is the most perceptive? and light fingered!
Thel passes the book over to the elf, and seeing nothing of any value, lingers outside near the pool of water, idly throwing bits of stone into the water.

The tibbet searches around the room much more thoroughly, finding another 14 books that seem to be in good condition, much like the bulk of the books that Thel found, these don't seem to hold any special properties except for likely having some small monetary value. By the time she has come up with those, the room seems pretty thoroughly searched, everything else seems to be ruined or rotted.
what kind of magic formulae does the book have?

If you are going to take an hour to study the book:
loren is happy to spend an hour reading the book! but if we are going to do that we might as well rest
loren will explain what information the book holds, so feel free to read the prevoius spoiler for loren
"What happens when we contact her? And where's this pool?"
shall we move on? at least we will know what to do if we find a pool!
