Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 89904" data-attributes="member: 114">Preparing themselves, the party burst the doors in and their allied hobgoblin adept casts obscurement to fill the vast hall, then scurries away. Lysander, Trajan, M'ir and Azrin make their way into the obscuring mists, while K'tan secures the doorway just in case...No sooner than they have entered than they hear strange chanting from the other end of the hall, and some more strange alienist creatures appear amongst them - the slimy tentacled creatures with sucking lamprey-like mouths which have also been seen before. Trajan is quite badly wounded by one which drains much of his strength before it can be killed.While the party are attempting to deal with the summoned critters, suddenly into the midst of the fighting a confusion spell explodes; randomly targeted into the mist it only catches a couple of the party - but Azrin succumbs. Looking around confused he sees Trajan as one of his enemies and whips out the wand of burning hands and shoots him in the back with it, and then steps forward to attempt a stunning blow, which misses.After a couple more rounds of confused fighting, the evil priest dispels the mists and the Blessed casts flame arrow on a group of ten prepared hobgoblin archers. The arrangement of the columns in the temple means that they cannot concentrate their fire on just one foe, so five shoot at Trajan, five at Lysander. The hobgoblins fire is astoundingly accurate, landing three hits apiece on the heroes and Lysander is even critically hit. The magic fire makes the arrows even more deadly than normal and suddenly the frontline fighters are looking to retreat. Both reduced to single-digit hit points. As one they call upon Asura to heal their wounds, and then they start moving back using the pillars as cover.There is a laugh and a shout from the black-armoured and ochre-robed priest, who spins his cape around his head and then a cloud of webs shoot out and form over the entire  entranceway of the hall, ensnaring all of the heroes. While they struggle to free themselves (except for the confused Azrin) the hobgoblins continue to take potshots at them, and the blessed starts launching magic missiles. Lysander is able to struggle free of the webs and makes his way back to the entrance, and with K'tan wonders what to do next...Trouble for our heroes - will they escape? Tune in tomorrow for the next exciting episode!</blockquote>
