AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Cries Rex as He collapses on fire. (-1 hits) I hate to say this but roll the save for Rex's necklace of Fire Balls type 4.

OOC: some items, like Helms of Brilliance and necklaces of Fireball, are special cases. Exposing either of the above items to powerful fire attacks can have regretable consequences.
Also, Slow should still affect the other targets (the dwarf). I have 2 targets right now, since the gnome disappeared and the mind flayer is dead. So it would dispel (not counter) the haste on the human wiz/sor? and still have the dwarf lined up.
Whether the spell succeeds or fails will change my move. Also, if all of Rex's fireballs cook off, I'd imagine my proposed actions would be rather unimportant, since charred corpses can't cast spells.
Uriel, you might want to have Bellus take a 5ft step to one side of the dwarf. Darian might be doing something rather violent, depending on how the slow turns out

I'm ruling that the energies of slow and haste cancel one another out. The mage does not even get a saving throw. She just loses her spell. But in exchange, the slow spell does not have enough energy to affect any other targets.

OOC: It pains me to do this, but I do it with the expectation that the game is not over. Consider it a roleplaying challenge. The temple of Pelor is not far away.
*clatter of dice* In one truly terrifying moment, the worst possible combination of events comes to pass. Rex's fresh necklace of fireballs goes off, nearly incinerating Verra, Lysander, Darian, and Rex (30d6 damage. Everyone made their saves, but still takes 45 damage). Bellus watches his friends fall to the ground, dead or dying.
Four magic missles appear from thin air and streak towards Verra, exploding into his chest (18 damage).
Bellus longs to help his comrades, but the dwarf keeps him busy, hitting once with his rune axe (8 damage). Bellus responds with swift counterstrikes, hitting the dwarf three times (14 damage).
The female mage flies down to the bodies and examines Verra closely. She calls out, "Cehvat, the battle is over. This Chosen is finished. We will return to base for another bloodhound."
The dwarf steps back warily, eyeing Bellus with a smug expression, daring the gnome to press the attack.

OOC: Actually, I'm still alive.
Starting HP: 72
Endurance: +18 HP
(Endurance (+4 con) = +2 con modifier = +2/level extra HP = +18)
First fireball = -37 HP
Second fireball = -45 HP
--------------------------------------
Total: 8 HP left
I also have a dorje of body adjustment - I presume no one is still in the 'dying' stage, however?

[OOC: Rex is at -36... think you can help him? Sorry about that guys. I had a bad feeling when I made the "purchase of the necklace. Didn't think it would end so quickly!]
Rex's dying thought is "how will I explain this to Pelor?"

You are right. In fact, Verra is also alive (due to his animal affinity), but unconscious. Rather than edit the above post, let's say that you fell prone in the explosion. Verra fell when the magic missles hit. The mage thinks you are both dead, but you still have the option to act.
Current initiative order: Lysander, mage, gnome, dwarf, Bellus. Actions, please.

Lysander is blown through the air by the force of the explosion. He falls to the ground and turns to face the ground so his psionic display will remain unseen, and manifests detect thoughts, praying they will stay long enough for it to have an effect, and that none will notice the telltale mental hiss from the manifestation.
OOC: I'll target it so the dwarf is the only target, if possible.
