Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC) 2

[Deuce Traveler]

The gruesome work is done slowly, but completely, though the chamber still gives you the creeps even after all the organic material is burned off of the walls of the chamber. You even help dissipate the grotesque candle holders and altar. You feel better about your work, and it is time to go through the final door you have yet to try. You line up in the following order:

Roderic
Scrag
John
Grok
Rosalia

Just beyond the door you can still hear unknown thunderous sounds. Any last actions before Roderic throws open the door?

 

[Scott DeWar]

John regains his composure and joins the others in destroying the gruesome vile walls.

"I need to cast a spell here." [cast mage armor] "Ok, ready"

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Roderic throws open the door as John finishes his spell.

In front of you this strange, otherwordly chamber is covered in a pool of blood one foot deep. Oddly, it doesn't seep into the corridor when the door is opened, but otherwise ripples like a small pond. A rolling field of reversing gravity sweeps through the room, making the blood fly upwards into an ever moving wave of blood from ceiling to floor. The wave explodes when it reaches the doorway you are looking out from, drenching everything in its vicinity but again magically not letting a drop into the corridor. Once the wave collapses, it resets again on the far side of this 90 foot square room revealing a large kobold dragonkin and four of his comrades before the wave begins to travel once more towards you and obscures them from your site. The kobolds have seen your party, however, and are moving to attack somewhere behind the wave that blocks your view of them. It would seem as if you are going to have to struggle against the pool of blood and the wave effect throwing blood into the air in order to get to this new foe.

OOC:
Initiative time. Roderic is already running into the room to give those behind him a chance to pour in.

Party Order:
Roderic
Scrag
John
Grok
Rosalia

John gets an idea and grabs a crossbow bolt. As soon as Scrag is out of the way, John will shoot a crossbow bolt at one of the kobolds, if for no other reason then to see what he effects of the room has on missile attacks.

Scrag, not being the brightest sort, just barges in to the room, ready to cleave through some kobolds.

 

[Scott DeWar]

And from somewhere behind him he hears a svish of a cross bow bolt aiming at a [random, even the big guy on the throne]kobold

"WAIT, WAIT! We not go in! Make scales come out to us in hallway, and we have them at disadvantage." Grok surprises everyone with a moment of frighteningly lucid thought and planning. But, alas, the moment is fleeting, "Ahh, what Grok know? Get 'em!!"

 

[Scott DeWar]

"No Grok! That is a sound plan! Draw them into the hall way you two!" encourages John.
