Fallen Angel [IC]

Akaron sheathes his sword and prepares to go after the fighters, using the wall to keep balance. [If nothing threatens us, he´ll take 10 on the balance roll]

"Yikes, that's pretty awkward..."

Following Akaros'lead, Thomas slings his bow back over his shoulder, even though he seems quite uncomfortable in doing so. The trusted feel of the wood is where he usually draws his courage from, knowing that he's quite capable with the bow. Now, he's just empty-handed. Before following Akaros into the cave, Thomas fishes around in his backpack and retrieves a sunrod. He strikes it on the sole of his shoe and tucks the glowing rod in with his belt.

Got my hands free, and a clear sight of the path. It's probably slippery enough as is.
 

Michael gives a somewhat uncomfotable thanks to Akaros as they enter, while switching his bow for his sword. At the slope he waits, looking for the others. As it's clear that the group wants to go down, Michael sighs for a moment, looking at the others, whispering: "This seems too tricky to descent normally without holding ourselves. Perhaps we should move down in groups of 2, while the rest backs up with bows or other methods?"
 

"Well, as long as this seems to be the right place...Michael, Riejart, Akaros, hold up a moment."

Lomas steps up to each of the three in turn and places a hand on his shoulder. A brief swirl of pearlescent ectoplasm spreads over his body and quickly crystallizes in a thin, flexible layer over the skin.

[Manifested Chrysalis x3 (3pp used; 7pp total today). Michael, Riejart, and Akaros now have DR 2/- for the next 50 minutes, or until it prevents a total of 50 points of damage. I expect the 50 minutes will probably be the limiting factor.]

Looking the three of them in the eye, Lomas says:"This will help absorb physical blows, should it come to that. Just don't assume you guys can act recklessly...it's not that effective."

Lomas will happily wait on the first few people to make it to the bottom before attempting to descend. In the meantime, he pulls his four Dull Grey Ioun Stones out of his belt pouch and sets them in orbit around himself.
 

Syfis sighs, "I am not, I repeat, not, getting my boots, clothes, and hand that muddy just for this. I'll go down ahead of you all." She mutters an arcane word, and then another to cast light on her necklace, and makes the descent into the cave, being sure not to touch the muddied ground or walls.

(Fly spell, Light spell, and then on my next action, descend into the cave 90 ft. with a manueverability of good, readying to cast Magic Missile upon anything that attacks me-continuing this method until I reach the bottom of the hole -both spells last for 50 min-)

Before anybody heads down into the cave, Riejar takes his horses reigns and ties them up to the saddle so that the horse can move freely on its own. Giving Sampson a rub on its shoulder, Riejar lets him go to escape the storm. Riejar knows the horse will remain around the opening of the cave if there were no danger, but due to the approaching storm, Sampson will most likely return back to the village.

Once that is done he sheaths his sword and follows Sollir into the cave, using the walls to keep his balance.
 

Into the cave

This circular chamber has obviously been hewn from the rock of the hill deliberately, though the hands that did it were less than
skilled. The floor is damp and muddy, and the walls are made of rough limestone. The ceiling is high, at least 20 feet above the floor, and mostly hidden in shadows. A distant dripping sound is audible, as if water were filtering through the limestone roof
and making its way down the walls.

Syfis flies into the cave just ahead of Riejar and Michael. The descent into the cave is not far only about 5 ft. As Syfis reaches the bottom, carefully hovering above the muddy ground, she is just able to make out to shapes at the far end of the cavern. As her light stretches into the far corners she can see two tall insect like creatures with six arms and strange bug faces. Reacting quickly to the threat Syfis hurriedly casts a spell, her three tiny darts of magic streak out and slam into the bug on the right. Obviously notified of your presence they scuttle towards the entrance crawling along the ceiling using two of their hands to carry their huge spears.

Riejar and Michael alerted to the presence of danger hurry down the path. Riejar's footing slips a little though he recovers right away. Michael having reached the bottom ahead of him draws his weapons.

((DM notes: Syfis made her spot check (as did the other two) and won init (23), the bugs went next (10) moving towards the entrance. Michael made it to the bottom (9) while Riejar (init 11) failed his balance check by a little and only got halfway down. There is now room on the right for the next person to enter. I have put up a map and picture of the bug things here.))
 

If out of reach of the bugs:

Syfis points her wand at the left bug, a bolt of light casting out of it, streaking its way towards the thing's weapon. She then flies back up the entrance, stopping when she's just behind Riejar, and tells both fighters, "Watch out, those bugs that raided the village there...attack the right one if you can, I hope the left one is busy recovering his club-i'll back you up." She flashes them a quick grin before getting ready for the monster's inevitable attack.

(1 charge from her Wand of Unhand, Disarm attempt with a +9 bonus, fly with 90 ft. speed)

OOC-Nice bug picture, If she's in reach of the bugs, she'll take a double move til she's behind Riejar, and just skip that left one bit of conversation

OOC: Link doesn't work for me. :(

Michael sighs as he sees the bugcreatures. "All right, seems it's time for action!.

If one of the bugcreatures are close enough to just move up to them and attack them, Michael will do just that, picking the right one if he has the choice. If not, Michael will stay put, readying himself to move up to a creature and attack it if it comes within 10 feet.

OOC: Putting 3 points in power attack

OOC: I cant get to the link either.
If I read things right, I am still halfway up the hall so.....

IC: Riejar moves the rest of the way down the hall. Once he reaches the bottom he pulls his sword and shield readying for an attack.

OOC again: I am assuming that I cannot attack this round. If I can, then of course I will attack the first big I come to.
