[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3481735, member: 11146"] Rowan remains standing by the stone brazier and begins preparing a nasty surprise for the reinforcements in the form of a greased corridor leading into the kuo-toa guardian room. [sblock=All]I have marked the area to be greased on the attached map. It isn't greased yet, but will be if reinforcements arrive.[/sblock] Phud stands still to receive Rhys's healing, which Chronepsis is so good as to provide in the form of[COLOR=Red] 7 points of healing.[/COLOR] [sblock=Rhys]I may have been generous in using or overusing Rhys's healing. Odds are that sleep will be necessary immediately after this battle--Rowan and Wyleck are almost out of spells. I don't think you need to fish through the last several pages to determine how much healing Rhys has used. If you're comfortable, why don't we call this his last [I]cure light[/I] and we'll leave him with all his [I]cure minors[/I] just in case someone needs to be stabilized?[/sblock] Carefully maintaining her aim on the portcullis, Arden moves through the soon-to-be-greased corridor into the kuo-toa guardian room with the others. Should a foe appear at the portcullis, Arden stands ready to fire her crossbow. Wyleck also moves out of the corridor into the kuo-toa guardian room. Standing just to the side of the corner entrance to the room very near the sleeping KT2, Wyleck spaces himself so as to be able to peer around the corner with both the portullis and the wolf in full view. As soon as Wyleck centers himself, however, his magically summoned ally winks out of existance. At that precise moment, there is a grinding of gearworks and the portcullis begins to raise. The bit of rock upon which Wyleck had cast[I] light [/I] winks from view and everything again falls to darkness. The kuo-toa guardian room, which sports patches of phosphorescent moss of some kind that glows purple, is the only source of dim illumination. [SIZE=1][B]The phosphorescent moss behaves like a candle (provides illumination for a 5-ft radius) and is marked on the map by pink marks on the walls. Incidentally, there is a rising set of stairs on the southern end of the kuo-toa room that you all have yet to investigate. Sorry if that was not clearer earlier.[/B][/SIZE] At the first glimpse of pale bulbous eyes blinking from around the corner near the now raised portcullis, Arden takes the shot she'd for so long held. Her bolt streaks through the air, crossing the main chamber, and burying itself into the mid-section of the owner of the bulbous eyes, [COLOR=Red]dealing 3 points of damage.[/COLOR] Everyone hears, but only Phud sees, two kuo-toas armed with longspears flapping across the main chamber floor. To Phud's eye, KT5 and KT6 spread out and appear to be making to flank both sides of the corridor leading to the guardian room. KT4, the one Arden hit, stands its ground in the portcullis doorframe, a longspear in hand, as it looks dead on at Phud and croaks in some queer nebulous language. The sound of another pair of feet, or perhaps two pairs, flap through the puddles ubiquitous to this area from the somewhere inside the hallway beyond the portcullis. Rowan points at the corridor, magically and silently slickening the already wet flagstones.
