Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

Toriah is about to ask for a torch to light the webs when one of the cultists does it herself. "No mercy," he mutters to himself. "This's bad business." He grips his rapier tightly and moves forward slowly, knowing the crossbow would be nigh useless in close quarters.

Lenya

“I don't believe this... what are these fools doing?”

Lenya moves closer, but waits for a target to show itself (ready).
 

"Damn tincans," Kerwyn mutters to himself as his bolt proves ineffective.
He waits for a chance to surround one of the cultists that emerge from the burning webs.

OoC: Delay. If he gets to a flanking position, steal a spell (unless foiled by concealment, of course. Too lazy to look whether Obscuring Mist obscures within 5ft too.)
 

Mist has filled half the room and totally concealed the cultists. The members of the party outside the Mist hear the sounds of battle, of weapons clanging against shields and armor inside the Mist.

(I would like clear indications whether characters are entering the mist or waiting outside)

Round 5 (sick = -2 to all die rolls)
24: Kerwyn (-5) attempts to stab the female cultist but misses (5+)
20: Craven (-13) swings at the Tall cultist, his warhammer clanging off the cultist's helmet. The cultist falls to the ground, dying from the powerful blow (16+6 =22 hit vs. AC 21, Dmg 7)
15: Lylamwyn (sick) waiting outside the mist
11: Belaver (-7) outside the mist
11: Neshi (sick) outside the mist
11: Earth Elemental fled from the uttered name of "Yan-C-Bin"

4: Female Cultist (-11) swings her morning star at Raner and misses.
4: Tall Cultist (-21, dying)
4: Short Cultist (-4) swings his morning star at Craven and hits (11+6=17 hit, dmg 4)

Round 5

Lylamwyn waits outside the mist, hoping for the best and fearing the worst. *Just where is this stench coming?*

"What's the situation!", he shouts.

Lenya

Lenya also remains outside and in some distance (20 ft.) to the mist; she can't see a thing in there, despite her enhanced vision, and she does not want to hit the wrong target. If a cultist emerges from the mist, or can be seen within, she will immediately zap that one.

4: Raner (-17) swings his axe, but misses the female cultist in the mist (3+, miss)
4: Female Cultist (-12) swings her morning star at Raner and misses (9+).

*Craven gasps at the blows, and realizes he's about to fall, he's so dizzy from the blows to the head. He staggers out of the mist, and instead tries to protect Lenya if one of the cultists should make it outside the mist.*

"I can't take much more of this," he says, staggering slightly.

Kerwyn stabilizes on his own at -3.

Two of the bodies were blonde Suel humans, the third was a five foot tall dark skinned reptile humanoid that smells terrible. The party searches the bodies and finds the following equipment: 2 sets of half-plate armor, one set of splintmail, 3 masterwork morning stars, 3 large steel shields, 3 crossbows, 30 bolts, 3 more holy symbols (black iron triangle with inverted Y), 73 gold pieces, and a Magical Cloak (abjuration aura).

As Lylamwyn looks at the Suel humans, it occurs to him that the unreadable scroll he found might have been written in Ancient Suloise.

No more encounters for the rest of the night as you rest and recuperate and recover spells.

The unidentified potions are: fly and delay poison. With Read Magic, you discover the two remaining scrolls are: Stone Shape and Aid.
