D&D 5E [IC] Creamsteak's Princes of Elemental Evil

[Creamsteak]

The secret door to the north leads to a sort of exit.

OOC: The passage widens at this point, with two large alcoves flanking the hallway. Loose piles of stone form barricades at the front of each alcove, angled to defend against intrusion from the west. A path between the barricades leads to a wide, descending staircase to the east.

One can exit towards the surface through that passage, or turn east to head into another section of the temple.

 

[River Song]

Looking to the east, Kubeba points with his axe.

"This way?"

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Agreed; we can finish here before we move on." Carradoc looks own at the corpse, and thinks of the Earth mote. "I have no easy magic to bury her. If it can be done quickly, let it be done. Get the body out of sight. Then onward. Inwards," he says, pointing in the direction of Kubeba's axe.

 

[Steve Gorak]

OOC: any loose soil around, if so, Thaliss will cast mold earth to hide the corpse

Thaliss nods to Kubeba, and also heads east.

 

[Shayuri]

Maighan nods slowly, and follows. It wasn't that she disapproved of the cultist being killed exactly...it had just been a shock to see the others turn on her so quickly. If Maighan had had her way, they'd never have cooperated with her in the first place. Having cooperated though...ugh, well done was done. She'd just have to hope they didn't decide she herself was better dead than alive then. There were bigger problems to solve than the group dynamic though.

 

[Creamsteak]

The hall widens to form a domed chamber supported by four glowing magma columns with fiery cracks in them. The air is oppressively warm.

In the middle of this chamber a fire elemental clad in obsidian glowing armor wielding a wicked scimitar stands guard. Behind him, two ogres in plate wielding hammers and tower shields stand at the ready.

Further back, perhaps barely visible, three humanoid figures stand at the ready as well.

Immediately, the man in goggles at the back casts a spell surrounding himself in flames.

 

[River Song]

Kubeba's eyes widen at the sight of the force arrayed before him and the wide open spaces. A quick glance over his shoulder confirmed that the passageway was more restrictive.

"Shall we fall back?" he uncharacteristically whispers to his companions.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Thaliss is genuinely surprised that the beast of a man that is Kubeda seems reluctant. The Warlock waits, it seems to him that a wall of water would be useful at this point, but he does not know if the wizard can cast that spell. Poor wizards, not being able to cast their spells when they want to he thinks to himself. He does have enough sence to take a few steps back, as not to be within the area of effect of a fireball, which seems to be the spell of choice of these fire cultists.

OOC: Move to I11, with only his head sticking out to see.

 

[Creamsteak]

OOC: Somehow didn't put Maighan on the map. Miles and Dent to not object to falling back.

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Sorry, everyone," Carradoc begins, "but I have a spell I want to try." He moves forward to the top of the stairs [[U12]], and casts Lightning bolt, a new spell he has recently learned.

An streak of pure energy courses through his body lunging forth in to the opponents in front of him. The hairs on the back of his neck stand on end and there is a smell of ozone in the air, unlike any his spells have caused before.

He watches the results.

OOC: Move to U12. Action: cast Lightning Bolt. Damage = [roll0]. Dex save DC 16 for half. * Currently: HP 44+10, AC 17; spells 4/3/0
