Corvus Spends a few moments bandaging his hands and them looks to the rest of the team. "I suggest we move on for threat of another enemy finding us and catching us off guard."

Callie exhales when Dido tells her to calm down. She nods to Ter and Corvus and says, "But first, we take five. Besides, Kitau needs to unwind."

After a few minutes of collecting herself, Callie asks, "I vote going down the stairs. I would rather be done with using stairs sooner than later. Thoughts?"

Dido shrugs. "Any direction is as good as any other. We don't know this place. But that said, let's all stick together. No scouting without the team. I'm expecting this place to be able to change the shape of rooms and halls just as easily as it shrunk us into pieces on a game board."

  Considering their track record with stairs, defeating the stairs-eer, anything past the stairs is a sound priority.

  "At the very least, anything interrupting us here will not involve as many unwanted surprises as otherwise."

Once Kitau has beheaded the giant and mounted the heads among its collection, she stealthily sneaks to the stairs and scouts the next room out.  She returns and describes it.

A balcony overlooks a room filled with dark water. A rope bridge
slants sharply downward toward a wooden platform just above
the level of the water. Two other bridges connect that platform to
other balconies. Each balcony is 10 feet above the water.

"I didn't see any enemies."

I say we move slowly across the bridge if we cross they may not look it but if the rope is dry rot then we may go for a swim and i would rather not.

Dido says, "Thanks for scouting, Kitau."

Callie says, "Aquatic enemies perhaps? Hiding in the water? Or gelatinous cubes, hiding in plain sight. Either way, we should proceed with caution."

Dido nods and says, "Kitau and I will take point then."

Callie nods. "I'll take rear as usual and watch our backs."

  "Well, we can always see just how excitable anything laying in wait is."

  "Chirp, shaman spirit that will totally hurt an adventurer if I die coming through."

  Superbird casually flaps into the room, sporting the silvery falcon look.

The feignt works!  Several sahuagin and two harpies come into view!

"Kill the intruders!  Destroy the bird!"

Kitau readies her javelin.

A sahuagin priestess swims around from behind one of the platforms and shoots a bolt of water at superbird, destroying the familiar!  Or at least, so she thinks.

"They musst be weakened from fighting the ettin!  Presss the attack!"

Callie trots down the stairs, spots the nearest raider and holds up her holy symbol. Apparently, she aims it just right, and sizzles the raider in a soft spot, burning a laser right through him, punching out the raider's back. Well there goes a spleen. KABLAM! "...I'd offer to talk this over, but I doubt you'd listen even if I offered a heal." quick recovery, considering she doubts she can restore a spleen.

Dido is empowered by Callie's attack, as a light glow surrounds him.

A raider dives underwater then dramatically leaps into the air like a dolphin, landing on the low part of the bridge.

<Abyssal>"What are they ssaying, priesstess?"

The priestess ohs.  <Abyssal>"Keep forgetting you all don't speak common.  They're trash talking."

The raider charges and spears Callie with his trident!  <Abyssal>"Trash talk this!"

Dido raises a hand and a shield briefly pops in front of Callie, healing her wound a little. Dido then points at the Raider and says, "You're mine." and hops down the stairs before whacking the raider in the kidney with his hammer! The Raider feels a little disoriented.

A harpy lands on the bridge and sings alluringly about harpy hugs!  The heroes are put under her spell and begin to move closer to her!  Callie and Dido manage to at least drop prone before being pulled into the water.  A raider hops onto the bridge and charges Kitau, but the lil gnome manages to dodge!

  Terdisas sighs, and blasts the within range harpy off the bridge and into the water with a crack of thunder.

  "So it's going to be one of those dungeons, I see."  He shoves cotton in his ears (see previous examples of 'Adventurers' with the extra climbing gear), and hopes he doesn't miss any good one liners from his friends and Corvus.

  Of all the fights for his Familiar to be temporarily exploded.

Harpy 2 HP: 71-20= 51

I got a bit confused for a bit thinking "Oh that must have missed me because I'm a CHA primary", but oh right, heroic tier. And enemies lower level than me with higher hit mods than me.

Another harpy appears and uses another alluring song!  Kitau is pulled into the water!

Lots of thrashing happens in the water near where Kitau fell in.  The water turns red and sahuagin limbs float to the surface.  Kitau reaches the surface and breaks free from the harpy's spell.

Corvus chants in Abyssal and lets out a loud yell like a sharp knife slicing through the air it hits the Raider in the back slicing him open and festering with a dark mist causing the skin touched by it to boil.

The priestess is appalled!  <abyssal>"Kill the gnome!"

<Common>"Kill the gnome!"

She shoots Kitau with her water cannon, blapping Kitau badly.  Kitau vanishes!

Callie says, "I always like how the enemies panic and say "kill the wizard!" or "Kill the healer!" when they see one of us do our thing. Way to scare 'em, Kitau!"

She whirls the bastard sword while standing up acrobatically and takes a gash out of the raider near her! Kitau will notice a touch of extra martial precision in Callie's strike as Callie twisted the blade in a certain way that deals just that little bit of extra damage.

Callie then turns and blows a kiss that turns into a pink heart, flies to Kitau, and pops against her cheek, beginning to close her wounds.

The raider shifts up and attacks Callie, missing horribly!

Dido yells, "You are MINE!" with the word "mine", the raider who swung at Callie gets slammed with a beam of light from the ceiling. "Remember?! When I tell you you are mine, you will duel me, or get hurt worse and miss the other person anyway!"

Being stuck, though, Dido has no choice but to attack the guy nearest him, so he uppercuts the guy with his hammer, cracking the guy's jaw and loosing some teeth! Now both raiders feel the weight of divine judgement...

The harpy in the water flies up to the bridge and charges Callie, but does not damage.  The raider in front of Dido attacks.  And whiffs.

  "I have the feeling I am missing a lot of good comments, oh well."  That said, he shoots the harpy in the face with a block of ice.  Sadly, this merely faceplants the bird lady, rather than sending them back into the water.

Corvus goes to use a spell but the energy sputters out and he curses. Must have used to much power in our first battle.

The first harpy sings again, luring Dido into the water...  But the paladin bounces off the surface of the water like it's a water bed.  It blinks in surprise.  "What?!"

It then tries to fly around Callie, only to get cut bad by the cleric.  Tries to claw Callie and fails.

Invisible, the sounds of splashing, the bridge dips a little to one side, and the little thumps of armored gnome approaching is the only warning before...  Slice!  Slice!  The harpy in front of Callie drops dead, Kitau reappearing behind it.

Callie hops to the north to flank with Ter and slashes the harpy. "I really wish I didn't have to hurt you, but you attacked us. Please stop so we can spare you?" she hopes if the harpy was able to sing in common that it speaks common.

Callie's attack gives Ter a boost. Kitau continues to feel Callie's kiss from earlier heal her some more. ^.^
