Zander threw one of his javelins at the stone-faced man guarding the path the Infiltrators intended to take. It made a loud thump, and the creature stumbled as if it had felt the impact, but the javelin clattered to the ground rather than sticking in. As Zander drew his sword and cursed, SnorLoska ran past him, engaging the creature in close combat.
With great fury, SnorLoska swung his sword at the man. The half-orc was clearly the more skilled combatant, as he drove a solid blow to the thing's abdomen, which set it off balance (though it did not exhale as one might expect). SnorLoska followed up with an overhand strike that would have removed a normal man's head - but it was like striking solid rock, and his sword rang out in a way that made SnorLoska worry for it's edge.
With no expression whatsoever on it's face, the creature raised a hand and a chunk of rock flew out of the wall and slammed Zander from behind. It remained, circling him, ready to fly at him again. The stone-faced man reached for SnorLoska with bare, open hands and slammed them hard into the big half-orc's ribs.
Mord sent a bolt of dark force at the furthest stone-faced man which struck, sending the man a few steps back. It lifted it's hands and sent two large rocks hurtling toward Mord in retaliation. Mord ducked the first of them, which smashed into the wall behind him, but the second knocked the shoulder of his wand-arm back. It was numb, but he was happy to find that he still had feeling in his hand.
Lorenn followed the others that had headed for the corner and spread grease across the narrowest part of the ledge near the rift, hoping to prevent one of the stone-faced men from joining the battle near the northern passage.
Aquaria could feel a powerful barrier that resisted her efforts to reach her enemy's mind, but like the water that was her nature, she slipped through imperceptible openings to find that there was a mind there, vile and insane as it was. She sent it pain and it's body shook, though it's mouth made no sound.
Terrus moved next to Zander and was ready to defend himself. One of the stone-faced men raised a hand and the ground beneath his feet shook and slid, the top layer of mud and dirt falling into the waterfall and over the rift. He and Zander were caught in the slide...

Doing his best to dodge the flying rocks, Mord inevitably caught one onnthe shoulder. Hissing in pain, he returned fire, intent on smashing the stoneman into rubble.
I forgot that SnorLoska had a Bhaalite Idol rune traced on his forehead, which would give him 1d6 extra poison damage on a hit. Unless these enhanced cultists are immune or resistant to poison Stoneface1 should get extra damage Idol Rune effect on hit (poison): 1D6 = [2] = 2, 1D6 = [4] = 4
SnorLoska is disappointed that his attacks is not as effective as he wishes. Still, SnorLoska continues his fearsome attacks on the Stoneface with reckless fury.
