Zaineb narrowed her eyes when she got the warning, then cast a spell, sending a ray of energy against one of the (un-)living shadows.

ooc: Init 11.
22:37, Today: Zaineb rolled 26 using 1d20+7.  Ranged touch attack.
22:35, Today: Zaineb rolled 1 using 1d6.  Disrupt Undead.
22:34, Today: Zaineb rolled 11 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.

16:02, Today: Varlian rolled 17 using 1d20 ((17)). Initiative

Initiatives: I rolled the rest of everybody's initiatives. All of you beat the shadows initiatives. Everyone gets to go first.

Dagger extends his palm and a violet pellet is shot from it. It explodes, damaging everything in a 20ft radius.


OOC:
Standard: Manifest Amethyst Burst 5PP
19:42, Yesterday: The Chronicler, on behalf of Dagger, rolled 21 using 1d20+4.  Initiative.
20:54, Today: Dagger rolled 12 using 3d6.  Force damage. Reflex Save DC 18 for half.
The idea is that it explodes as far as possible, but still damaging the nearest shadow.

"The curse seems to be lifted but I need help!" Varlian calls back to his allies. He holds out his holy symbol as he thrusts his staff towards the oncoming shadows, attempting to turn them.

18:59, Today: Varlian rolled 20 using 1d20+5 ((15)) turning check (allows turning of up to HD 8)


19:05, Today: Varlian rolled 17 using 2d6+8 ((4,5)). Turning damage

I followed this link. Not sure if I did it correctly.

The shadows turn away from Varlian as he holds up his holy symbol and slowly drift further into the mound.

Breonna follows Varlian into the mound, drawing her scimitar and getting her shield ready as she does, Ulfric following her

ooc
gonna be away from Sun - Tues, just a heads up

Will also finally sort out Breonnas spells tonite...

The desert warrior mounted her everlasting torch on her backpack and removed the cap, shining a light on her surroundings. She followed Varlian, the courageous priest being an inspiration leading the group into the darkness...

Dagger notices the benefits to be as close as possible to the cleric and follows him.

"I've dispersed the shadows, but they will return shortly." Varlian whispers as his companions enter.

The shadows disappear from view, and you hear the sound of bubbling water coming from further inside the crypt.

"Did I mention I have a bad feeling about this?" Zaineb asked, not expecting an answer, while she followed the priest deeper inside the crypt.

"Goes without saying." He just said under his breath, following the priest.

Breonna follows them in, glancing over her shoulder to see what the dragon is doing

"I believe she shadows will return shortly, we might want to find a suitable position to face them."

I'm assuming that all will take shelter within the opening which will shield you from being seen by the dragon. Breonna will see the beast fly over and continue heading away.

OOC: Not remembering... Is the entrance big enough to cover the horse too? IF so, Dagger will take him with him.

In reply to Dagger (msg # 975):

Yes. The horse could be brought in, though it's tight.

Zaineb looked in the direction where the shadows had retreated, her brow furrowed with concern. "Let's move quickly, so we can be out of here."

You move ahead and hear the sound of bubbling water echoing down the corridor. The air is dank and warm. You come upon a chamber where in every corner of the room a fountain bubbles and smokes, with wisps of white-hot vapor rising from the carved needle-filled maws of some strange fish-like creatures.

The stone effigies of this strange race are rendered in elegant repose, spouting water from their mouths into basins made by their cradled arms. The fountain in the northwest corner is smashed to bits. Rubble now mostly dams the flow of whatever hot spring feeds it, but warm water pools around its base, slowly frothing into the center of the room.

The desert warrior looked at the display of water, entirely convinced that this was another trap. Paranoid, maybe but it had kept her alive thus far. "Are we sure this is really water?" she asked the monk who was leading the way.

"I would not recommend eating or drinking anything found in here," Varlian states. "I believe we have enough to last us, and I shall create water should our provisions fall low."

Just want to make sure I understand turn undead correctly. They shades will be returning about a minute from when they were turned?

In reply to Varlian (msg # 981):

Effect and Duration of Turning
Turned undead flee from you by the best and fastest means available to them. They flee for 10 rounds (1 minute). If they cannot flee, they cower (giving any attack rolls against them a +2 bonus). If you approach within 10 feet of them, however, they overcome being turned and act normally. (You can stand within 10 feet without breaking the turning effect—you just can’t approach them.) You can attack them with ranged attacks (from at least 10 feet away), and others can attack them in any fashion, without breaking the turning effect.

"The shades shall return shortly. I suggest we face them here."
