Erdolliel flings the light source into the next room and moves forward to get a look. At the end of the long ramped hall, a grand chamber opens to a height of eighty feet. Opposite the entry is a tall octagonal column of jet-black stone, glowing with green symbols running up one of its faces...

Moving by the strange objects in the room, Erdolliel goes to the next set of doors. They are unlocked, and the elf opens them to see a hallway beyond. The hallway curves and slops downward. The walls of the hall are painted with a long frieze, depicting mind flayers marching across the...

Erdolliel makes her way up the stairs and finds the double doors at the top unlocked. In the center of this large chamber is a grotesque ebony statue of a vulture-headed humanoid with large feathery wings and razor sharp talons at the end of avian digits. The rest of the room is taken up by...

It is a +2 version.

Swiftly, the duo gathers Nethezar's more potent items and rapidly casts healing spells to bring them both into good health. Things that you probably know are magical: Mithral Shirt (the one that used to be Erd's) Boots of Standard Equipment (I actually don't recall their real name anymore... I...

Still sluggish, Erdolliel again fails to get through the creature's skin. Kushnak, like a maniac, lashes out in desperation. He connects with both blows, and cleaves the creatures eye out. Erdolliel: attacks O, 5+ miss Kushnak: attacks O, 14+ hit, 19+ threat, 7+ no crit, 50 damage, O drops...

Erdolliel succumbs to the power of the creature's gaze. The elf strikes at the beast, but, perhaps affected by the sudden lethargy, her blow lacks the force to pierce the creature's hide. Kushnak makes two powerful swings at the creature. While his first swing is wild, the second swing...

Erdolliel resists the power of the creature's gaze and closes, though she takes a strike as she does. She waits for Kushnak to move, providing a temporary distraction, and strikes. Her aim is true, and Erdolliel slashes the creature's eyelid with her sword. Kushnak lays into the creature with...

Erdolliel, not looking directly at the creature, fires off two shots. The elf's aim is poor, and her arrows harmlessly fly past the creature. Kushnak lowers slightly in the air to gain better position and activates the power of his deity. The alien creature moves underneath Kushnak, closer to...

Erdolliel flies up the stairway and the others follow at a distance. Just as Erdolliel reaches a set of double doors, Kushnak and Nethezar reach the room Erdolliel just left. As they enter, one of the same alien-like creatures emerges from the top of the large tank of green liquid. This...

Erdolliel sneaks ahead. At the end of the long staircase, an odd chamber reveals itself. A number of tall bookcases, a desk, and a large tank full of green liquid takes up half the room. A stone door stands closed on the opposite wall. The staircase continues upward, curving to the right...

After discussion, I think we agree that Kushnak really has no idea that anything happened at all. I have adjusted the last IC post accordingly. Anything else?

Erdolliel flies into the room. The elf doesn't notice anything untoward, and the manacles are all bolted directly to the benches, with no chains at all. The elf sees a passage leading to the next room, however the corridor steeply rises up about 30 feet, making her view of the next room...

After casting the protective spells, Kushnak lays into the door. While it is stronger than he expected, the half-orc still makes short work of it, hacking a hole open and then kicking out the bar behind the doors. The battered doors swing open and reveal the next chamber. In the center of the...

To slightly modify that, Erdolliel can hide, as long as there is cover. As soon as she is spotted, she won't be able to hide again without cover (because she can't hide at all without cover). Faerie fire does not affect her ability to hide by using cover; it eliminates her ability to hide by...

I've been taken a closer look at this. I think the issues are how hiding works and how it impacts sneak attack. I'll try to address the latter issue first. So, per the sneak attack description: I don't know of any comprehensive listing of the circumstances under which a target is denied...

Nethezar nods in agreement, but waits until Erdolliel has checked the door. The elf finds no traps, and she discerns that the door is not locked. Erdolliel tests the door before opening it, but she realizes that it is apparently barred from the other side. That is from the third paragraph...

Finally able to take in their surroundings, the trio sees that the doors on the north wall are white marble, but they are streaked with veins of a faintly-glowing purple mineral. Flanking the doors are a pair of tall ivory columns, each bearing a tentacular symbol burned into their surface...

Nethezar ignores Erdolliel's comments about his participation. The scholar sticks the magic missile wand in his belt and retrieves his curative wand and begins healing. In between casting healing spells, Nethezar opines, "I could dispel the color, if you wish, but I only have one such spell...

Erdolliel, deftly avoiding the flailing claws, moves in and stabs at the alien creature. Kushnak brings his sword to bear, hacking again into the creature. Finally, the half-orc feels the slowness wear off. Sighing, Nethezar aims his wand. While he falls prey to the creature's slowing gaze...
