Elric rushes around to get into a position as he holds true to his faith to Pelor, receiving a boon as he murmurs a prayer to Pelor. Elric's prayer invokes a blast of white radiance from his holy symbol that heartens and guids Elric's allies while striking out to burn Elric's foes with stern light, although Elric realizes it is only due to his faith to Pelor that he is fortunate enough to at least hit Clay Scout/Defender 1. “Be careful Timothius, we know they can redirect some attacks to those adjacent to them and now your adjacent to them.”

Timothius swings his sword as he heeds Elric's words, "I'll keep them off of you all!" and with that, smacks the Clay Defender good with his sword, encouraging himself. But he's not done. Oh no. He's going to take full advantage of the blessings Elric has requested of Pelor!

He then challenges the other Clay Defender, giving it little choice but to pay attention to him alone. "By the Platinum Dragon, you will not harm my charge!" Then he follows up with with a quick prayer while smiting the defender. "Give me strength to be true to my comrades and aid Pelor's faithful servant, for we long to satisfy you with just and true actions!"

Pretty sure u can't spend an action point after making saving throws. 

Sooo... Talked /w Timo and he said if he knew that he'd have attacked clay defender 1 twice... killing it.  Go Timo!

The second clay defender backs away from the terrible sword of Timothius and hucks a rock at the one who hit it with an exploding shiruken - Gale.  The rock nails her square in the head, ringing her bell. bounces off the tree she's hiding behind.

  "For Truth, Justice, and the merciless destruction of things throwing rocks at us."  This would be why Joe merely ignores the servants of Gods most of the time, as opposed to directly pissing them off.  To be fair though, the end result would probably be the same for those not divinity related.

  Case in point, more shuriken stabbery thwacking of the side of a construct's head.

"You said it!" Gale agrees as she begins to cast illusary ambush on the clay scout.

~I'll make it think I hucked it's rock right back at it!  Ooh better, a whole landslide!  Better yet a rock golem!  Or maybe a giant with a big stone club...?~

Her spell fizzles.

"Fudgenudduck!" she curses, "It uh...  resisted my spell!"

Doesn't want to admit the embarrassing fact that she wasn't focused enough to cast the spell properly in the first place.

(OOC: Fought myself against using ray of frost.  While that one targets Fort, the target's weakest defense, I figured the most likely spell Gale would use I.C. would be illusary ambush - targeting it's best defense.  Then rolled a 2.  -.-)

Timothius hurries over to the Clay Defender and swings, his sword glancing off a particularly tough part of the animated statue. The clang resounds, making Timothius wince from a little bit of shock going through his arm.


(Move: Duh)
(Minor: Divine Challenge)
(Standard: Enfeebling Strike)
(Roll: 1. DM's discression on Timothius taking damage from hurting himself.)

Timothius nearly loses grip of his sword, but manages to catch it before he drops it.  Even so, his fumble leaves him vulnerable to a counter-attack.  ((Timo grants C.A. till start of his next turn.))

The kerchink sounds can be heard once again, but once again, nothing comes of it.

The Clay Defender takes advantage of Timothius dropping his guard and lurches forward to bite him!  The pain isn't that bad, but it must have been venomous because Timothius begins feeling very heavy.  ((Timothius takes 1 damage and is slowed, save ends.))  The Clay Defender then shift away from Timothius.

(( I let the dice decide what happened this round with one exception... I'm assuming that Timo would have challenged the last Clay Defender the moment he had a chance. ))

Not wishing to move into melee with the Clay Defender just yet, Elric says, “May the holy light of Pelor strike down those who exist only to harm others while protecting those who are just,” as sacred light shines from above, searing at the Clay Defender with its radiance while at the same time fortifying Timothius against harm.

I'll have Elric post again for the now current turn if the next two attacks against the Clay Defender don't drop it as it only has 6Hp left. ]}

  Joe is getting tired of things trying to kill him... Wait, no.  Things are trying to kill those not him... He can deal a bit longer.

  Of course, as the Shuriken imbeds itself into the claw scout's forehead but it still remain standing, Joe has to take a moment to stare "...That is so very not fair, even for today."

A giant scroll falls from the ceiling and crushes the Clay Defender under it's weight before vanishing just as suddenly as it came.

"Paper beats rock!" Gale proclaims triumphantly, "Take THAT you nasty... thing that hurt my kitty... buddy!"

She leans forward and sticks her tongue out defiantly at the defeated foe.

"Timothius?  You should scoot over a smidge to these sturdy roots or risk a trap door opening under your feet."

(Gale isn't aware that according to game mechanics, Timothius can't step onto the difficult terrain because he's slowed)

Timothius does exactly what Gale suggests and sits on the tree roots, panting some. "....well... we survived that one." he says, cracking a smile. He then looks up. "And now that the immediate danger seems to be done for now, I have time to ask what a tree is doing in here." he rests for now, figuring it best for him to do that until he needs to shield his allies again.

  Joe is so glad Tim can take the time he needs to get to the roots, now that they aren't currently in combat where such things would be a bit more of an inconvenience.

  After retrieving his lamp, but not putting it away form the clump of roots he left it by, he shrugs.  "I honestly have no idea.  We haven't seen the far end of it yet, but I'm inclined to wait until your okay before messing with anything else."

  This said, he considers the room, listening for any more of those mechanical sounds.

Kerchink.  The sounds ring out again.  Again, nothing happens.

Timothius cringes with a wince at the kerchink sound. "....I'm going to have a fear of kerchink sounds for the rest of my life. Aren't I." He imagines himself an old man and some kid playing with a kerchinking device makes Tim draw his sword and swear by the Platinum Dragon that he shall avenge... only for the kid to run away. Timothius comes back to the present with a defeated look on his face.

In response to Timothius' statement, Elric says “That is possible, at least till you come across a sound that instills enough fear that your forget about this sound.”

Elric then walks along the roots of the tree to avoid any traps to get back to the battle standard he placed and then he retrieves and stows it in his backpack. “Now would be a good time for someone to start trying to turn off the traps in this room. Otherwise Timothius might go crazy from hearing that sound over and over.”

Gale casually makes her way next to Timothius, prestidigitates a pair of ear-muffs, and offers them to him.

"Maybe this'll help guard your ears?" she asks teasingly.

"Good point, Elric.  Shame only one of us knows the first thing about that sort of thing."

She takes a closer look at the tree.

"Last time it was a huge fire in the center of the room.  This time a huge tree.  Why is anyone's guess."

(OOC: No threats from here on in.  Joe gets automatic success to disabling trap tiles and control panels)
http://spreadsheets.google.com...3bxPD0pRSpxxmisVhZHQ

  Joe takes a moment to dig his shuriken out of ex-Clay scout skull.  "Right, I'll just get right on that now that things are not actively trying to kill us so much."

  Joe starts off with the tiles next to where Tim and the others are by.  And starts on the pesky process of deteathtrapping the room.

  "So, any ideas about what's causing this, or how to leave?"  He opts to work his war towards the back end of the tree, in case there's anything of note back there.

Timothius perks his ears as Gale mentions the fire and then the tree. "It's about the elements!" he says. "The next room could very well be mostly water. Or lightning. Or something like that."

He then looks towards the other end of the room. "Well I guess we may as well keep going once we're rested. Little choice."

No sooner does Joe de-activate the control panel in the back of the room than the tree begins to creak and shudder.  An entrance slowly opens up to the heart of the tree where another portal awaits.  This one, however, seems much more unstable than the last.

"Fantastic" the mysterious voice proclaims, "You remained resolute and resourceful in an atmosphere of extreme pessimism."

Timothius is not reassured by the "positive" reinforcement.

Gale nods at Timothius' comment.

"Yeah," she says, "Probably.  Shame no one can agree on what the elements are, and what beats what.  Though if I were to guess, this is ye olde 3 element wheel.  Fire beats Nature, Nature drinks water, water douses fire.  Let's hope that after we defeat the water room we don't wind up back in the fire room."

She watches the tree open up and takes a careful look at the portal.

"Doesn't look very stable.  Can't tell what's on the other side.  Let's do that beetle test like last time."

Once everyone's all rested, she ties a rope to a beetle's leg, tosses it in, then pulls on the rope to reel it back in.  The portal flickers some, but the beetle corpse seems undamaged.

"It's not wet.  That's a good sign."

She hands the beetle end of the rope to Timothius and steps through the portal, still holding the other end.  The rope remains taught, but as soon as she steps through, the portal begins to flicker and dim.  Looks like it's running out of energy and may vanish soon.

Timothius mews! "Everyone through quick!" as he jumps in himself.

  Joe is not quite rude enough to say things like 'You first' in this sort of situation.  After all, two out of three people not him have already gone through.

  "Hope to see you on the other side Elric.  Unless the other side sucks of course."  This said Joe grabbed a severed Clay scout head as a souvenir and jumped through.

Elric makes sure he is ready to pass through the portal as Joe picks up the Clay scout's head and jumps through the portal.

The Warforged cleric of Pelor then says, “To continue to bring light to where there is darkness, moving forward is the only path I can take,” as the Warforged jumps through the portal.
