Against the Storm Part II: Luskan

Elone peers around, her head muzzy, trying to be sure that if she does fall unconscious there won't be any other entrances. She also does her best to jam the locks shut temporarily with the club to keep them from being opened from the other side.

After about a minute passes, Elone finds herself drifting in and out of consciousness, but feels stong enough that she won't go out altogether, at least, not soon.
(Wis --> 3. DC 5 Wis check each round to be aware)

Assuming Elone is able to work out the connection, at this point I think she'll attempt to pray for new spells, getting a number of lesser restorations.

Elone currently does not have a sufficient Wis to cast spells.
 

Elone is having a good deal of trouble keeping track of time, but after what seems like not very long, Jaina opens her eyes and looks around dazed "Oww. Ellloneeeeyy? Wha? Where?"

Suddenly, Elone hears battle sounds coming from the toher side of the door at the end of the hall, followed by a very loud explosion, and more battle sounds.
 

Elone shakes her head again to attempt to clear it, and calls out to her companion. "Are you ... are you well?"

Suddenly she becomes aware of the sounds of battle on the other side of the room. Struggling over to the door, she attempts to listen at the door (likely to fail) and find a space to peer through the door or lock mechanism to the other side.

She also (hopefully) remembers to attempt to reach out with her mind as a habit to check for CG or Solonor serving outsiders on the other side of the door.
 

Jaina answers "Not really."

Elone is able to hear waht she can identify as battle sounds, but nothing more specific than that. The locking mechainism is in the adjacent wall, as it has been last time, so she can't see through it. The locking mechanism seems identical to the previous one. Her detection of outsiders provides comes up blank.
 

Elone attempts to focus on the task at hand.

"There's ... battle." She waves her hand at the door. She tests her muscles to determine if she still enjoys Solonor's blessings (OOC: Not sure if she's still buffed or not. And you said her wisdom is a 10? Or did it drop again?). "Someone fighting them, they would be our friends?"
 

(Wis Check DC 5 @ -3, d20 = 2)

While talking to Jaina, Elone drifts off suddenly, but Jaina shakes her awake.
(Wis is 3 after the secondary dmg. Buff Spells still working, though)
 

Elone smiles at Jaina. "Thanks."

She considers for a moment more, and decides to go for it. She isn't thinking all that straight, but she's pretty sure that an enemy of an enemy is a friend. She walks over to the door and performs the same sequence of events (minus the poison gas) that worked last time, her bow slung at the ready.

As she does so, she warns Jaina, "I'm opening the door. May Solonor smile upon us."

As before, that particular sequence opens the door but also releases the gas, but fortunately neither Elone or Jaina get much worse (both saved) (Now that it doesnt matter, both keys need to be turned and the lever must be made level. Pulling the lever down too far would have triggered an electricity trap, and turning the keys non-simultaneously releases the gas.)

In the next room, there is a battle raging. Ubaar has killed a guard and is fighting another guard who looks exactly like Elone. Four guards on the other side of the room lie dead on the floor. Jonathan kills another. Kelnar and an elf that Elone has not seen before are down. Elone sees four pillars turn into statues of sword-weilding owmen and prepare the attack. Two elves who equiptment and clothing suggest that they are Evereskan Rangers face off against them. A gnomish mage is in the center of the room, and a human mage is off in the corner attacking him with spells.
