"Humph! East, then. I'm supposed to guard the rear so lead!"
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

"Adamantine is adamantine," Afina says, unbothered by the damaged state of the metal. "We can melt it down for re-use, maybe try forging in Goldenfire again. Mirajane could try?" she suggests, recalling something about her making a weapon to deal with Father.

In any case she leads the way East for now.

Anastasia

As if reading Afina's mind, "Perhaps, though I have not yet trained to do so."

Meanwhile the party goes east and down. This passage leads down and ahead. Soon you come to the end of it - where a pond of goldenfire blocks the way. A waterfall of goldenfire falls from above, cascading into the pond. It's inconstant, and during the slower flows, you can see a tunnel is behind the waterfall.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

"Oo... Pretty. It'd be better if it was a waterfall of liquid gold, though. ... That might be a good idea for a lair accent..."

Surraruthru begins planning a dream lair as he loops around the others.

Mirajane meanwhile studies the waterfall silently, while Arrel clacks his beak, "Walls to shield us again?"

"Kascha, Mirajane, can either of you two provide?" Afina asks since she and Jaela both have dubious magic.

Anastasia

Kascha and Mirajane exchange looks, the former shaking her head while the latter says, "Yes, but only if I invoke a miracle."

"Lets not ruin everyone's magic," Afina says, shaking her head. Sad thing is she could just sneak under her floating disk for cover but that won't work for anyone else except Surrurathru. "Hold on a minute, I'll go back and see if any more fire elementals have appeared. I can fashion a shelter out of the adamantine and have them carry it for us."

I cast Elemental Swarm earlier so after ten minutes another batch will show up.

Afina returns and indeed finds a huge elemental waiting for her.

Just one? Disappointing. It won't be able to lift that adamantine on its own. "I'll be a little longer!" she calls back to the others, waiting a further ten minutes for a greater elemental to arrive. "Come with me," she orders the two in crackling Ignan, marching back to the pond and waterfall. There she attempts to fabricate the salvaged adamantine into a shade...

[18:34] <@Ebiris> roll 1d100 spell failure
[18:34] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d100 spell failure --> [ 1d100=98 ]{98}


And succeeds! "Hold that up overhead and out to block the waterfall," she tells the elementals who struggle manfully with the task.

Between the elementals their max load is 2,800lbs so they should be able to manage to carry the adamantine overhead albeit with some difficulty

Doing so, the elementals are able to provide a cover of sorts. It deflects the goldenfire away, providing a path to proceed onward.

Ebiris

Afina flies under the cover provided, waiting till everyone's through before she orders the elementals to follow. It won't much matter if they get dunked in goldenfire, this being their first exposure and not expecting them to complete the quest after all.

Anastasia

This is sufficient for the party to get through. Once done, you can see the passage continues to east 80ft or so, before rising back up and out of sight. In the center of the hallway, 40ft away, is a sun emblem. It's drawn on the floor with chalk, pristine and untouched.

Surraruthru cocks his head this way and that, inspecting the area with a clicking growl.

"I do not like this. This looks like a trap."

After stating such, he inspects the area for said traps...

"I doubt it's a trap, but there's probably significance," Jaela agrees. "Anything magical or interesting about it, Kascha?"

How long has it passed since the fight (for the purpose of spells)? 20 minutes? More?
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake
