Kobort and Turuko exchange glances. "Orcs and hobgoblins sound much preferable to facing a powerful wizard. At least to us."
 


Bellus grunts his approval and readies his morningstar. Directed by Zirat, the dwarf leads the way across the eerie confines of the temple compound, and toward the front of the massive structure that is the Temple of Elemental Evil.

The bronze doors of the main entry are massive, so 20' wide and 23' high, and are held fast by huge iron chains. Every crack and space in the doors is sealed with soft iron, and silvery runes seem to burn upon the massive valves. As you approach the doors, you begin to feel an off-putting sensation; indeed you are unable to move within about ten feet of this strange portal. Try as you might, your feet will simply not carry you any closer.

"It is much the same as our first time here," says the champion of the Chendl arena. He leads you around the side of the temple narthex to where lesser doors of iron-banded bronzewood stand. He nods at the double doors here. "This is where we have entered before. Be ready, and wary."


OOC: Strahd, I hope you don't mind a little NPCing of your PC...but since he is the only one left from the very beginning, it makes sense that he would be the leader of the expedition. So I'm kinda using him to keep the pace of the game moving along. :D
 

Meddyg has a hard time concealing his relief at his allies' words. "That works for me as well." He follows Zirat's lead to the main doors and thence to the smaller portal, looking more nervous with each passing moment.
 

Bellus moves cautiously up to the doors, and begins making a search of them. Noting that they are clearly locked, he removes a set of picks from one of the many pouches at his waist, and begins to work on the portals.

As he begins to work on the doors, however, there is a loud WHOOSH as flames bellow out all around, catching you all within the blast radius!
 


Meddyg screams in pain like a little girl as the flames engulf him, leaving him charred and gasping. He sits down and pulls a flask from his pack, downing the contents in three long gulps. As the potion takes effect, most of his burns are washed away.

[sblock=Actions]Reflex Save (1d20+2=3) - Turns out Meddyg's not so agile . . . Haven't seen a bad guy yet and he's already at 8/31 HP :.-(

Potion of CMW (2d8+3=15)[/sblock]
 

Both Bellus and Turuko perform amazingly acrobatic maneuvers, somehow avoiding being burnt at all by the flames. Kobort takes the full brunt of the blast though. The hulking warrior takes a seat next to Meddyg, similarly withdrawing a vial and drinking the contents.

Bellus eyes the doors. "I don't know how I missed that."

Bellus Ref Save: 26 (success, evasion for 0 damage)
Kobort Ref Save: 7 (failure, 23 damage)
Turuko Ref Save: 21 (success, evasion for 0 damage)

Kobort drinks portion of CLWs, healing 8 points of damage.

Bellus returns to the door, and spends a few minutes making sure no further traps remain. Then, he sets to work on the lock, and shortly has it sprung.
