Xandra is not a fan of this adventure so far.

"Go!" Xandra calls amid the pain, before reality twists and rips around the four of you.

Fort again for the expected scrambling.

So let's have Jetina do the following:

Celestial Valor: +8 sacred vs fear and emotion effects that would sap the will to fight, +4 sacred to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, armor class and saving throws, weapons count as holy (31m)
Mass Energy Immunity (Fire)

Moore will cast the following:

Haste (CL 30) +1 attack rolls, armor class and reflex saves, extra attack on a full attack, +30 enhancement bonus to movement speed. (31r)
Life's Grace (CL 20) Immunity to death effects and ability drain, treat armor as ghost touch - 200m

Fortunate Fate (CL20): Heal (150) cast if reduced to 0 or less hit points.

Righteous Halo (CL20): +4 Sacred to Charisma

All negate but Xandra, who takes half.

You appear in a dark room, light from a torch on either wall. It's big enough for the four of you comfortably, hewn of black stone on all sides. No doors are about. Huh, that's not what you expected.

As you stand there, the floor sinks down slightly with a loud CLICK, followed by the sound of squeaky hinges groaning from above you.

[Nephrite]

"Really." Moore says. He looks up and gestures, not feeling like dealing with this.

Wall of Stone, he's just going to cover the obvious trap with more stone walls in order to jam it up and stop it from functioning.

Also, everyone should totally just be flying!

[Anastasia]

Teleport spells have to put you on solid ground or something that supports you, it's part of the subschool description. It's why you generally can't teleport someone into open air or into a lava pool. Exceptions exist, but a standard dimension door would abide by that.

You get a glimpse of electricity, crackling purple-yellow before your wall stops it. Your wall is crawling with visible boltage, but it's holding for now.

Xandra takes a breath, "I think we were diverted," she says, looking about at the dimly lit room, "There's no way in or out except for teleporting."

[Nephrite]

"Likely." Moore says. "Jetina, would you?"

Jetina will cast Heal to top off Xandra.

"I'm not sure we can just get out by teleporting again. Won't we just get diverted back here?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"It might be so, depending," Cresiel admits, "We're going to have to do this the hard way." He hefts his hammer, "Though...we may well hit molten magma or lava rather than finding freedom, which poses difficulties."

[Nephrite]

"A moment." Moore says.

I will spend three rounds casting Lay of the Land. Let's see if I can figure out where exactly we are compared to where we were going. If the roof starts crumbling or something I will stop to Wall of Stone it again.

[Anastasia]

The wall above holds, lightning running through it but not past it. As you cast it, "Excuse me," A head composed of burning rock and magma pokes out, human sized and with a rough, grumbling tone. "What you want?

[Nephrite]

"We're here to see Abdel the Flameseeker." Moore says, stopping his spell. "We got a bit diverted."

[Anastasia]

"Oooooh. Why didn't you send word?" The head grunts, "Sending word is important."

Cresiel watches, weapon at the ready but not advancing, Jetina ready with a spell on her lips.

[Nephrite]

"Unfortunately, we didn't have time." Moore says. "I was about to try and get us out of here and back to see him, could you point us in the correct direction, please? We'll use the front door this time, I promise."

[Anastasia]

"Half mile or so away," The creature says, then slips away, back into the stone and gone.

[Nephrite]

Ah, but which direction?

Back to Lay of the Land!

[Anastasia]

Besides Abdel's Manor (the official name for it, apparently), there's not much in any direction. Just wastelands and burning magma. If you go about 20 miles to the west you'll find a sea of magma, though.

You get a distinct sense this place is isolated.
