Filge waits patiently, holding any action until either Prost opens the door and moves through or an undead creature appears at the end of the hallway.

Round 7

Prost's first attempt to unlock the door is unsuccessful.

Cyrius continues to wait for Marcus to pass.

Filge waits patiently, holding any action until either Prost opens the door and moves through or an undead creature appears at the end of the hallway.

Marcus takes a ray shot at the half-orc. Unfortunately, he is distracted by the fuzzy edges of the man's outline and strikes only an illusionary shoulder [missed because of the miss chance from Blur]. Marcus move past Cyrius into the hall.

Cyrius shuts the door.

Lola channels positive energy, healing Marcus [Marcus healed 5 hp].

Tex readies to shoot the first enemy he sees...

The party can no longer see what's going on in the big room with the balcony.

The door that Cyrius just shut opens. There stands the armored Half-orc (Garras), brandishing a battle axe and smiling a toothy grin. Tex fires an arrow that bounces off the man's breastplate [miss].

Round 8

Odin, it seems, is listening. Prost succeeds in unlocking the door.

Filge takes a chance and casts a spells, firing a writhing black ray of negative energy at the half-orc that is about to attack Cyrius. In spite of the chaos of melee, all the people in the way, and the Half-orc's blurry outline, Filge's ray is perfectly aimed. The Half-orc is visibly weakened, so much so that he slumps obviously under the weight of his half-plate armor [failed his save, too; so 13 STR damage. Lucky he drank that potion of Bull's Strength before coming down here.]

Hoping to imitate Filge's success, Marcus let free another ray as well at the half-orc. He is nowhere close to as successful and misses completely.

Despite his current handicap, Cyrius charges his mind blade with psychic energy and thrusts at the half-orc, hoping Athena will favor him. Unlike Odin, Athena seems not to be listening. Cyrius cannot penetrate the man's armor [miss].

Lola fires her crossbow into the fray, with about as much success as Marcus.

“Way to hold that door pal!” Tex says with a chuckle as he sets and looses another arrow. “At least we didnt have to wait on him.” Apparently, he's too busy mocking Cyrius and not paying enough attention to his archery because, although he fires off a pretty good shot around Cyrius, it is nowhere near accurate enough to damage the heavily armored Half-orc.

The party still can't see what's going on in the big room with the balcony.

The Half-orc (Garras), although weakened, is still strong enough to swing his battleaxe. Given the weakness of the stroke, though, Cyrius finds it easy to deflect [he would have hit, if not for the STR drain].

[Duniagdra]

With too many obstacles between him and the half-orc, marcus will follow filge and Prost through the door.

[tdsprouse]

Tex will move back to 1818, after filge leaves the spot. He'll then try to stick an arrow into the orc...

Ok, Prost opens the door

[patransom]

Round 9 Begins

Prost throws open the door (a move action) to find two arrows flying at his face, shot by two more of the Tiefling women (T3 and T4) who were lurking just beyond, ready for just such an occasion. The first arrow misses. The second is cunningly accurate, but does only a little damage [potential critical, but not confirmed, 3 hp damage]. Beyond the door, a short hallway leads into a small guard chamber. Steep stairs connect to west side of the hallway and lead up, obviously to the balcony in the "battle temple." Another of the Tieflings (T1) is rapidly descending the stairs toward the fight.

Round 9 Continues

After ducking one arrow and being hit by another, Prost calls out “Tieflings and it looks like they have come to play!” He quick draws his Dagger and throws it at the closest Tiefling's throat, delivering a small cut [2 hp damage].

“Whose side are you on, Athena?” Cyrius blurts as he stabs at the half-orc again (his weapon still charged with psychic energy). Athena, apparently, is still not listening, as his blade cannot pierce the man's armor [miss]

“Get ready to close the door!,” calls Filge to his companion. The human necromancer starts reciting the words scribed upon the scroll of Summon Swarm that he is holding [your assumption about summons is correct; for next round, you will need to decide what kind of swarm you summon and where you want to place it]

With no line of sight to the teiflings, Marcus turns to fire another ray at the half-orc. In spite of the intervening cover and the man's blurry outline, Marcus hits [5 hp damage].

Stuck in the middle, Lola reloads her crossbow.

Tex tries to stick an arrow in the half-orc. Because Cyrius blocks his view, Tex's shot just glances harmlessly off his target's shoulder [just barely missed due to cover].

From just around the corner on the stairs in the hallway, everyone hears the one-eyed man (Theldrick) cast a spell. Those who can see T1 note that she is visibly healed.

Two of the tielflings (T1 and T2) stand their ground on the stairs.

The half-orc swings his axe at Cyrius and connects. Thanks to his weakened state, though, the blow is rather feeble [3 hp damage].

The other two tieflings (T3 and T4) continue to fire arrows at Prost. T4 steps back in the process and misses again, but her partner (T3) once again proves deadly accurate [potential critical did not confirm; 4 hp damage]
