The Lion's 2nd Face[Covaithe judging]

[Heckler]

And here's a poor man's map with the efreeti's position when you left the room. Dimensions are 40'x40' with a 20' ceiling. The passage you entered from is on the south wall.

So, here the spell we use to prepare the combat:

Ashnar:
- Mnemonic Enhancer into Protection from Fire to himself
- Protection from Fire to Charlarn
Tenebrynn
- Mnemonic Enhancer into Protection from Fire to himself
Hogarth
- Protection from Fire to himself
- Spell Immunity (Scorching Ray) to Rinaldo
- Magic Vestment on his shield
- Greater's Magic Weapon on his morningstar
- Bull's Strength to himself
Planus:
- Resist Fire to himself
- Bless
- Divine Favor to himself

Anything else?

Shorter spell would be cast after longer spell.

 

[Knight Otu]

(I think that's the extend of the long-term spells to be cast. Anything else on tactics, beyond "hit him lots"?)

[Knight Otu]

(So, with that, are we ready to move and fry roast slay the efreet?)

 

[Velmont]

Ready!

 

[Heckler]

OK, so is the plan just to charge in and "get him!," or something more tactical?

 

[Knight Otu]

"Perfect, I think we can prepare ourselves. We can come back and discuss again with the Efreet. I'll tell him that if the opportunity arise, we will try to take his item, but we won't guarantee it. The important, it is to leave us the chance to open the combat. If we have the first strike, we might limit him pretty much the damage he can do to us." tells Rinaldo.

(I don't think anyone spoke out against this. Now would be the last chance to do so, I guess.)

Sounds good to Charlarn.

 

[Heckler]

Having come to a decision, the party marches back to the room to confront the efreeti...and is shocked to find an empty room!

Recovering yourselves, you make to start searching when you hear a loud chuckling ahead and to your left.

"I have played this scenario out before. So, before you ambush me, will you accept my offer?"

The efreeti is occupying the 4 squares in the NW corner of the room
