[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 277021, member: 4036"] The sixteen foot tall fire elementals surrounded Tiztserak as the portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire continued to widen. They pounded on his frail form smashing him into the ground and tearing through his energy buffer. All Tylette and Frederick could see was a maelstrom of fire. When the elementals straightened there was nothing left but a scorch mark.* The clay golems halted their advance and sagged forward and the summoned allip and spirit wall faded away leaving only the crackling black electricity attacking the Earth Anchor and the roar of the fire elementals and the portal. It was just about then that Collin ran back into the room, a little out of breath from his ordeal. He surveyed the situation. Frederick stepped down out of the air and saw to Zerin, but there was nothing he could do. Zerin could not be [i]raised[/i], he would have be [i]resurrected[/i] or buried. As the gate continued to spin and grow, four huge fire elementals stepped down and looked at their brethren. Tylette began gathering their attention when she was nearly blinded by a greater fire elemental coming through the portal. The massive monstrosity would have been almost 4 stories tall had it been able to stand erect. Everyone basically stood around and gaped. The portal flashed again and slammed shut in a wake of fire that spread across the ceiling and dissipated. There was no sign of the Fire Key. “Um, ok. You guys see that door? Go that way and work your way out of these caverns. Just kill anything you see moving, ok? Go. Wait, you, the little one, you stay with us. The rest of you hurry up.” Frederick looked up from Zerin’s still corpse and nodded grimly. Collin got the hell out of the way. “So now what?” Tylette asked, but she was met by shrugs. Turning to face the gigantic rotating granite she studied the braziers arranged around it. Backing up and standing behind one of the columns she instructed the remaining fire elemental to destroy the braziers. It complied and smashed them to scorched kindling. ”Burn away those sickly vines too.” It reached up with its fiery arms and brushed away the poisonous creepers like a torch through cobwebs. “Well that was easy, I guess go help the others, just work your way up through the cavern. Good luck!” Tylette had a huge grin on her face picturing what those elementals were going to do when they found the giaks and gourgaz. She briefly considered psionically looking in on them but decided against it. “That’s one evil horde that won’t be razing any towns. Anyone got any ideas what do with the rock here?” “I might,” Frederick answered. “Stand back.” Frederick approached the revolving granite monolith and examined it. As it turned there was a small channel running up it vertically that would come around every few seconds. Frederick asked Collin for the Earth Key and held it up next to the channel, comparing them. After a whispered prayer to both Equitus and Terraj, he inserted the staff into the Anchor of Earth. [i]*When I say scorch mark, I meant nothing but a black char mark on the ground.
