Shae will strike out with her spear at the ore golem while it is down this round but states, "What kind of spell will most effectively take down this statue?"

Leo will attempt to strike the ore golem with his Frehelian Claw Dagger to backstab if possible.

Vuzyl will attack the Golem on the floor again, We should make a brake for it, all together down the middle give each section as little time and far enough distance to make it with no attacks.

"Why not." Tahldar says after seeing his Grease spell work as planned.  Clanging his newly found bracers together, he moves to fight in melee.  A sight not seen too often from the spindly mage.

OOC: Tahldar will attack the Ore golem in melee.  He has a stoneskin spell running, as does Borimer.  He has not been hit so it's full (I think Borimer has used up one hit).  1d4+4 hits for Tahldar's caster level.

Kahan will pull a vial of oil out of his backpack and move in front of the Water golem, assuming he doesn't think that action will make him go visible.

Everyone except Kahan is fighting the ore golem.  This gives you a free round of attacks while it has slipped on the floor and is rising to its feet, as well as giving bonuses to hit.  (No backstabbing is possible while it is on the ground.)

Not all of your attacks succeed, primarily because the metallic surface of the statue is not easily pierced, but overall, some successful hits injure the thing.  (56 total damage.)

The statue rises to its immense height, ready to fight next round.


Ore Golem:
  HP=251/386
  AC= -4
  Immunities: ?
  Attacks: Cleave x2
  Dazing Fist
  Special Attack: ?


Kahan puts the oil around the statue representing Water.  Nothing happens and no statues come alive as he does this.

Borimer presses the attack as the golem rises back to its feet...

Vuzyl moves to around to that he is on the opposite side to Borimer so one of us can get the position bonus and strikes out again.

Tahldar continues to attack the Ore golem.  Though he knows he can't hurt it much, if at all with his bracers, he still tries to get the creatures attention away from his companions.  Being fully protected by the stoneskin spell he tries to get the creature to focus on himself, at least for this round.

Kahan will do the same to the wind golem, hoping that his companions are able to kill the ore golem quickly before anyone gets hurt.

Leo will continue to attack the ore golem.

"I think Kahan's idea is good," Shae says before making a break for it across the room to Kahan's side to help with the far doors.

Attacks on the giant iron statue continue.  Borimer makes a fantastic hit right at its neck, followed by another strong hit.  (Critical hit--78 hp dmg)

It fights back but falls again in the grease.  (Critical miss.)  This allows you to converge and hit it some more.  Tahldar, Leo, and Vuzyl hit it while its down, for moderate damage.  (22 dmg.)

Shae runs across to Kahan while Kahan is pouring oil around the wind statue.

As Shae passes each row of statues, they come to life.  However, as she passes into the next section of statues, the previous statues remain standing where they were, inanimate once more.

The only exception to this is the last row where Kahan stands.  The Water and Wind statues do not move at all.

The ore golem gets to its feet, ready to attack next round.

"Follow Kahan!"  Borimer takes two more swipes trying to keep the golem's attention while his other companions get to the far door.

Not needing to be told twice Vuzyldiin takes off down the middle of the room at top speed.

Tahldar takes Borimer's advice and moves for the door.

Shae says, "Where are you, Kahan? Let's get this door open."  She will take a place at the gate and try to open it, hopefully with a little help.

Seeing the rest move to the door, Leo follows.  "Something tells me it's not going to be this easy."

Here's what's going to happen:  As you run across the room, you will have to dodge the attacks of the statues if you do not engage them.  Shae has activated them (except the last two on the end), and they are no longer in their little niches, which means they may be able to get you if you are not fast or agile enough.  To that end, your characters can see that this will be the case and can take necessary precautions.

OOC: You are running for a touchdown through giant statue defensive tackles!

Seeing the problem, Leo relies on his dexterity to try and avoid the statues.

Kahan takes up a position at the door directly next to Shae, tapping her on the shoulder before attempting to lift the door.

RULE: This is how this section works.  You have to roll your dexterity or lower to make it past each statue that is attacking you.  Running together in a group, not everyone can be attacked at each row, so the statues target those who appear the slowest or closest.  If you fail, then you are stuck by the statue (while the rest of the group moves on).  Then the statue has to make an attack roll.  Since you are now left behind by the rest of the group, you are more vulnerable to be attacking by one (or both) statues in each row.

You begin running and dodging to get to the far side.  Tahldar is hit by an invisible force (the mind statue) at the first row.  (8 dmg.)  The rest of the group makes it past the first row of statues and into the second row.  They continue moving forward and make it all the way past to the end.

Tahldar makes it past the second row.  He is next stopped at the third row, but luckily the statues miss and he makes it to the far end.

Together, all of you lift, and the gate begins to open.  As it opens, the bluish healing liquid flows back into the pool in the room.

You look beyond and see the jewel that needs to be exchanged in another of those altars in a small, unadorned room.  The floor of the room is three feet above the floor of the main hall, requiring you to lift the gate high.  Shae rushes in and exchanges the gem, running back under the gate.

By now, the bluish liquid has created a one inch layer on the floor.  Those who have been hurt are now healed as the liquid covers their feet.  (Tahldar's wounds were short-lasting, but all your other wounds are healed too.)

While the healing seems to be a great benefit, you notice that the bluish liquid is also healing the statues it touches.  The two statues just defeated (death and ore) regain their health and vigor and return to their original positions.

You lower the gate, and the water recedes yet again through the grate of the pool.

I say we run back, does anyone have any spells that may help with this? Make them miss or slow them up a bit? Vuzyl waited for everyone else to come up with a plan, he had given his opinion but would go with the group.

Borimer keeps the Godslayer drawn and waits for the group's decision.  "I'm good to go if we want to run, or stay and fight them two at a time."

"I say we run for it.  Let me go first." Tahldar says as he casts a spell.

OOC:  Tahldar will cast mirror image on himself.  He rolled 6 images.  Then he will make a run for it.
