To combat!

My character will aproach the fray, and wait for an opening. Until then, I will cast flameblade if I can get an opening.

"Hey, they just popped out of the wall. Had I waited for you to get here I could be hurting more. I was just tired of sitting around at a locked door when there was a perfectly good open one and a lot of unexplored territory to roam through. Then these two things decided they wanted a piece of me. I'll try to save some for you next time...but hurry up a little more." Kazuyo chuckles then looks around for more hiding places for demons like the ones he just got done killing.
 

Round 1:

Quivalin continues to sing his chant, giving morale effects to everyone.

Immediately after another Lesser Demon charges forth to attack Kayuzo, missing by a wide arc.

Hearing the demons roar, Xanadil's lithe body starts to shake with rage. He flies behind the wall (B5), takes a masterwork arrow and tries to stick it through its eye. (atk: +13 +1 inspire courage +1 masterwork -4 fire into melee= +11 dmg: 1d6 +3 +1 inspire courage +1d6 electric +1d6 sneak attack)

Xanadil flies over to behind the wall, entering the NW hallway as he does so, he sees two lesser demons waiting in ambush as he passes by, as well as several others further behind the wall. He proceeds to shoot the demon attacking Kayuzo, his originally shot sinking into the creatures hide, following with a shocking crackle but it still stands, the bolt partially deflected off it. (8 base damage - 5, 1 sneak attack, 2 electricity)

Balbanes moves to E1, and now adds his Flaming Burst Property to his weapon

"Who is out there? Show yourselves! My sword knows something is here, reveal thineself, or prepare for sanct obliteration!"

Balbanes' sword starts to ignite with fire as he issues his challenge. In response, one of the demons moves forward from its hiding spot and attacks the warrior, one of its claws connecting easily, although Balbanes manages to move his sword to prevent to brunt of the attack, (natural 20, fail to confirm, 5 damage), and the other one completely missing.

"That's nice of you Kazuyo, taking all the fun."
Moving to E6 to get around the wall.

Garandh steps over to the crevice, but finds himself on the ground as he slips across the smooth service of it. (Rolled a 3 on his balance check vs. DC 10) Garandh is considered prone this round.

Relanoth attempts to get a better look at the creature, moving to (H4) and examines the lesser demon to see if he recalls such a creature, he then shouts towards the group, "These things are called Lemures, they're mindless creatures of darkness, and enchanted weapons or silver weapons are needed to strike them!"

Ghaleon moves to (F12), creating a fiery blade of white hot fire.

Kazuyo swings his +2 scythe down and hopes to send the remaining demon to its maker!

Kayuzo swings hard and slays the Lemure that attacked him last round, slicing through it with his scythe (16 damage).

On the NW hallway, another Lemure moves to help his comrade attack Balbanes, although is cleaved by the warrior's sword before it even gets a chance to attack, its body dissolving from the holy energies used against it. (Balbane's AoO: 12 rolled, 11 base damage, no fire damage taken, 7 holy damage)

Angelo spins round at the sound of fighting behind him.

"Kayuzo? What's happening?"

He dashes over to stand behind the centaur (E9), and stands ready with his crossbow.

Angelo moves over behind the centaur and shoots at the remaining Lemure, his bolt completely missing (rolled a 4).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cloaked figure and Darcis continue to move on, going deeper into the temple. They walk down a spiraling staircase deeper below, entering a highly decorated room with ornate statues, the figure motions to the anti-paladin after hearing the mental wails of its minions, and Darcis goes back up again with a small number of forces following...

Balbanes turns quickly on his opponent and tries to take down this vile creature. If the creature isn't taken down, Balbanes takes a 5 foot step towards the north. If the creature is taken down, balbanes moves into C1 as fast as possible and tries to look over the room during his move.

Note: If there is a creature or such blocking balbanes, he stands at least 10 feet away to avoid reach, and ends his round there.

Edit Note: +12 Attack Bonus, 1d8+2d6+6 (+1d10 on a critical)

Kazuyo will attack the lemure next to him if it is still alive(+14 attack(19-20 crit), 2d6+12 damage(x4 on crit)). Otherwise he'll move into the room ahead and attack any demons there. If none are present he'll listen for anything that might have been alerted by screaming lemures and/or battle noise.

One from a haven of breezes descending
Lighter then the heavy air
Through the waving forests, the faerie country
Where the small pixies float, rising themselves
The clouds grow gray and whiter and gray again
8 there were, under the unseen moon
During the artifact fight
As the world declined, they arose
Into the heart of the story



OOC: Well, the inspire courage song of the 8 heroes continues, this time with Xanadil's verse, set to that of Tasslehoff's.

Xanadil, noticing his friends are far better equipped than him to harm those fiends, and they're not in danger anymore, calms himself a bit and takes a look at the apparently bottomless pit (+10 spot, +13 search, low light vision).
 

I will transform into a black bear on my initiative. After that, I will attempt to move to E 10 so I can strike the lemure at D 11.

hmm... without bardic my attack bonus to hit should be:
+ 8 claw
+3 bite
I believe it is +8 for flame blade. If gmf doesn't count, then it is +7.

Damage: claw 1d6+5, bite 1d4 +3, flame blade 1d8+2
With flame blade, I will attack claw, blade, bite.
