Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

[Endur]

The party heads in the direction that they surmise lead to the Dragon's lair and their former equipment. Fully aware that every moment they linger is another moment for the Hag to summon additional reinforcements, the party drags Naquent's armored body along with them instead of waiting for Torn to remove Naquent's armor.

The party enters an octagonal chamber (room 34) that rises high up into the ridge, the ceiling out of sight. There are three exits from the room besides the Eastern door the party entered through, a western door, a southern door, and a flight of steps leading to the north. To the north is a flight of stairs going down to a tall black door bound in silvery metal with a large white circle (symbol of the air temple) carved into the door in relief, edged with silver. No handle, hinges, or other conventional door trapings are visible (probably the Air Door Leading to the Air Bridge).

Four adult arrowhawks plunge out of the darkness above to attack the party with bolts of lightning.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

“Watch out!”

When the creatures attack, Lenya jumps back as her instincts take over, then she aims her own blasts against them to return the favor.


OOC: Noxious Eldritch Chain against (up to) three of them.

 

[Pyrex]

Raner jumps back, trying to dodge the lightning blasts.

OOC: Total Defense.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Belaver will drop his Cure Critical in order to summon a Large air elemental, commanding it to use its whirlwind powers to disperse the arrowhawks.

 

[Manzanita]

Torn will try to hit one with her remaining scorching ray spell
