| "We must open this door," Nevi says quietly. His voice has changed; he seems calmer and more serious. "Strike it again, cow." | |

| "Guys, we haven't even checked these side doors. And I know the humming is definitely coming from THIS door." Then, realizing how crazy that must sound, she amends herself, "Don't you hear it too, Kurogane?" Aileia reaches, unbidden, for the handle of the door before her, and attempts to open it. | |

| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND the door opens easily.

Will edit with relevant details shortly. Please specify in a post where your character was when Aileia opened the door. Logan if you want to say Kuros was getting up and preparing to bash in the other door, you are free to do so. | |

| Pre-BattleWhen Aileia opens the door, the buzzing noise that had previously bothered only her and Kurogane is now audible to the entire party. It is not loud, but it is perceptible. The room is mostly empty, save for the two large warriors clad in simple leather armor standing towards the end of the hallway. They have the image of the red sun emblazoned on their bald foreheads. There is a lever about two spaces west of the warriors. The North wall is covered in a lavish mural depicting three standing figures that appear human. The center one is holding an orb up to the sky while the two figures to his left and right and staring at it in awe. Above the orb is an image that appears to be a map of Valeya and its three sister shards, outlined by a circle containing all four shards. Roll initiative and IM or text it to me pleaseEncounter is cleared for takeoff - post your turns!

| "More puppets!" A thrill of excitment runs down Nevi's spine and he's suppresses it. He must maintain control. Mustn't let the shattered monk mind come back. Just stay in the moment. Protect his friends.
Move Nx6 to the northwest corner of the new room.
Nevi sees the warriors and the thrill intensifies. A sly grin crosses his face. It just feels to good to kill the puppets ... "Hello Puppets! We are all dead now!"
Standard: Dimensional Scramble Burst 1 originating directly between the warriors.
Warrior 1: 10 vs Fort / 7 damage, teleport Ex2 to northeast corner Warrior 2: 16 vs Fort / 7 damage, teleport Ex2

| Turn 1RPTaking positions in the next room, the party quickly assaulted the newest enemies. Aileia cast a spell at them with a precision that startled even her, but the spell fizzled right before it hit the first warrior. Kurogane continued his single-minded assault on the large door, but his efforts seem to be yielding little fruit. Kuros' actions were must more dramatic though. Kuros charged the second warrior, but right before he collided, he felt a strange forceful sensation against his entire body. With an electrical jolt, he was sent flying backwards into the room. In similar fashion the Aileia, Nevi could feel some kind of force blocking his mental outreach. The warriors both broke out into a peel of laughter. TechnicalAileia - Spell fizzled Kurogane - Strength check failed, attack seemed to be resisted by the door Kuros - Charged headfirst into some kind of force field. Takes damage equal to his strength modifier, and is knocked back 1d4 squares. Make an acrobatics check. If the result is 12 or greater, you maintain your footing, otherwise you are knocked prone. Nevi - Spell was blocked by some kind of shield Berserker 1 - Delay Berserker 2 - Delay Note: each time either a spell or a minotaur impacted the line immediately behind the lever, a strange green energy could be seen that stopped it in its tracks | |

| Kurogane "But the cultists?"Kurogane seems to have calmed down a bit, right before he heard the Minotaur's grunt after he collided the ground. Concerned, he asked "Everything going well inside?" Delay til hearing response from the room After hearing the thud the minotaur made when he land, Kurogane snapped back to his sense. 'Always help whoever is in need of help first' muttered the monk. He then rushed into the room, ready to lend hand to his comrads, at least he thinks they are.Move action: Move NW,NW,N,N,NE GM Edit: Move changed to NW NW N N N to prevent collision with giant minotaur. You delayed your turn til the end of the PC initiative order, after all.

| Nevi Tashar
Nevi winced as a drop of warm blood trickle down from his left ear. He could hear only a dull ringing. Shook his head to clear it. He hadn't encountered a barrier like that since the torture chambers in the Dreaming Dark. "The darkness," he whispered. "It has followed me." He turned and walked quickly out of the room.

| Dismayed at her inability to strike the guards, Aileia retreats behind the opened door.
Move: Sx2
"What is this?" she demands. Then the lever catches her eye, and she gazes solemly at the mural on the North wall. "Do you think it's some sort of spell? I wonder what happens if we pull that lever..."
Minor: Arcana check 12+9 to detect magic around the lever. | |

| Turn 2RPDismayed by the strange show of magic, the party became quickly divided as to the best course of action. Aileia attempted to discern something about the lever on the nearby wall, while Kuros stood his ground against the new threat. Nevi, apparently suffering from some sort of flashback, fled the room immediately in favor of the southern hallway, where he encountered even more enemies. Meanwhile back in the north hall, the berserkers sneered at Kuros, saying plainly, "You want a fight cow-man? Pull the lever and you'll have the all the fight you could want." A low chuckle emanated from his partner warrior. TechnicalAileia - Arcana check Kurogane - delay, then move into north hall AFTER Nevi's action (move modified by GM) Kuros - Total defense Nevi - move and open the southern hallway Berserker 1 - Delay Berserker 2 - Delay Aileia: - Spoiler:
The entire room seems to be filled with magic of one sort or another, but you note that it seems to be concentrated in lines flowing to various places such as the lights, and the wall where the forcefield would intersect. The lever seems to have one of these magic lines flowing into or from it as well. It's almost as if the entire building is powered by arcane energy.
Note about the new room: there are two warriors identical to the ones you fought earlier, plus an archer standing behind a plainly visible green energy barrier. You get the feeling it is different from the barrier in the other room, but you don't know exactly how. There is a mural identical to the one in the other hallway on the southern-most wall. | |

| Nevi Tashar
Nevi feels a mix of satisfaction and fear as the door swings open and the additional foes come into view. No time to waste. He has to strike them down before they have time to react. He releases his mind slightly, allowing the Nevi soul to take over. A quick laugh. He steps into the room and scans briefly for the weakest mind. There it is! Nevi applies a light pressure to it; just enough to make the warrior's head spin. He can't push harder than that; no, he has to focus. He presses two fingers to his temple and smiles gleefully as the center of the room collapses and swirls together.
--
Move: Sx2 Minor: Distract (Red Warrior 2); he gives CA until end of my next turn and I get +3 to next damage roll against him. Standard: Dimensional Scramble Augment 2. Burst 1 originating 1S of (Warrior 2). Nevi watches to see if anything interesting happens to the shield.
Warrior 1: 10 vs Fort, 12 damage and teleport Ex2 into the shield Warrior 2: 11 vs Fort, 15 damage and teleport Ex2
OOC: The dice gods hate me.

"Good. Now you die." Kuros takes a bold step forward and pulls the lever. Then he presses forward to attack his enemy chuckling, but his chuckles stop when the attack is less than remarkable.

| NOTE: KUROGANE IS ACTUALLY TWO SQUARES WEST OF WHERE THE MAP DEPICTS HIMTurn 3RPTrusting almost wholly in the proclamation of the enemy, the party set out with the indomitable purpose of pulling the mysterious lever. The result was half of what they expected. Aileia prepared Kuros for the great task by enchanting his armor, while Kurogane provided him with the flashy vanguard needed for such an occasion. Of course, Kurogane's nose did not appreciate the collision with the still-active force field, but it looked impressive. Taking no heed to the crazed monk, Kuros pulled the lever of destiny. Immediately as he did so, the humming noise that permeated the room vanished without a trace, and a trap door opened beneath Kuros. On the other side of the room, Nevi did battle with three other enemies. His attempts to warp reality met with nothing but contempt from the laws of physics as his enemies began to press in on him. TechnicalAileia - Move unresolved; East takes you into a wall, North stops in Kurogane's former square, South takes you out of LoS for Kuros, remained in placeKurogane - Move modified to one extra East, as anything less would not put you in range to attack. Collided with force field. Takes damage equal to his strength modifier, and is knocked back 2 squares. Make an acrobatics check. A 12 or higher means you retain your footing, anything less and you fall prone. Kuros - Pulled the lever. Make an acrobatics check. 12 or higher means you managed to grab the floor (ie not fall completely into pit), anything less and you fell in. Nevi - Double miss Berserker 1 - Readied his weapon Berserker 2 - Moved, readied his weapon Warrior 1 - Dealt 7 damage to NeviWarrior 2 - Dealt 6 damage to NeviArcher - Dealt 5 damage to NeviNevi: - Spoiler:
The green field rippled as your spell approached it, though no collision occurred. You are fairly certain it affects spellcasting somehow. OOC: Yes Nevi, the dice gods hate you A LOT. My only surprise is that none of your enemies crit. | |

| Nevi Tashar
Even that slight pressure on the warrior's mind was too much! Nevi lost concentration and the room didn't change. The moment was gone; his foes closed in, Nevi saw his own blood spraying across his vision. First two brutal axe chops, then an arrow to the shoulder. These puppets meant business ... Tashar's reasoning soul began to take over. He must preserve this body.
"Sorry," said Nevi, yanking the arrow out with a grimace, "You won't be disturbed! Don't disturb us any more!" He backed away slowly, slammed the door, and leaned against it, leaving a bloody imprint.

Move: Shift N. Standard: Shift N. Minor: Close door, lean against it. Strength check 17 to keep it closed if anyone tries to open.
