To cure rotting earth (Ithea, Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore is likewise hit.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 6d8+15 to Crystal and Moore --> [ 6d8=25 ]{40}

Debris of the shattered fist rain down. Dana just lets it literally bounce off her armored head and body, while Rosa deftly dodges to the side. Balyss is in an open space, as is Ithea. Moore and Crystal aren't so fast - both get pelted with rather large rocks, Crystal getting a gash on her forehead and Moore getting stone slamming into the small of his back.

Meanwhile, the ground around you shakes violently as the remnants of the elemental's fist withdraws back, then all goes still and quiet.

Free act for the moment.

[Merc]

"Let's clear those crystals before it decides to go for round three, Moore," Ithea says, tossing her wand towards Balyss.
"Feel free to use that and conserve your spells. It's going to get harder the further we go."

Then moving towards Crystal, she uses her healing touch ability.

Handed Balyss a wand of CLW that's been sitting in my character sheet unused since like level 15.

Moore nods, in quite a bit of pain from the rock pounding he just endured, but nonetheless will takes a breath and then vent his frustrations! "THERE!" He shouts, as he completes his spell!

Casting 2 Cacophonic Bursts, one on the left and one on the right. We'll see what's left afterwards, since I know there'll be something since I needed to cast more to get rid of them, but maybe the constructs can mop up what's left?

Two quick bursts shatter the crystals to the right and the left. The entrance to the chamber is now cleared, though more crystals remain within. Looks like you'll need more than that, though a good chunk are gone between shout and your bursts.

"Wimp, like losing a hand should stop you." Dana spits, bloody and red, and wipes her lips with her hand. "Fucking fakes everyone. Can throw it around but can't take jack shit."

Stille steps into the cleared chamber, coughing, "Well then, let's hurry. We still have a mining operation to disrupt, do we not?"

Ithea, go ahead and sort the wanding on your end.

Can Ithea roll K:Architecture or something else to figure out how best to place Moore's spells to get us through without having to destroy all the crystals?

[Anastasia]

Sure.

[Merc]

[13:38] <Merc> roll d20+22 K:A&E to minimize spellcasting for pathing
[13:38] <Rei-chan> Merc rolled : d20+22 K:A&E to minimize spellcasting for pathing --> [ 1d20=13 ]{35}

[Anastasia]

The party is healed as Ithea studies. Based on the design and the magic, yes. Three more in just the right pattern and burst could make a path through now, you think. Between the shouts and the shaking, you think you could direct a path.

"Moore, aim your spells in these three directions. If you just aim those ways, that should create a safe path for us without having to destroy them all," Ithea informs the pixie as she points to those three spots as Balyss puts to good use that old wand.

[Nephrite]

Moore will shout again and cast his spells!

3 More Cacophonic bursts

More crystals shatter, clearing a narrow but hopefully suitable safe path through.

"Well then, let us continue," Crystal says, "Lead the way."

[Merc]

Ithea does so! She keeps an eye out for any crystals she or Moore might have missed as she moves down the path made.

[14:10] <Merc> roll d20+51 spot
[14:10] <Rei-chan> Merc rolled : d20+51 spot --> [ 1d20=16 ]{67}

[Anastasia]

Quick note: Dana has fast healing 2 from her armor, so she'll be topped up. Stille's vigor is expired, though Dana's is not. Bardsong has also expired.

No further crystals are seen in the path and the party proceeds on. Path this the path narrows a little more, 5 minutes of following a sloping, twisting path. It comes out into a passage, a mineshaft. A rail with minecart takes up the middle of the tunnel, with it stretching in both directions. Stone walls hold smokeless torches that shed sufficient light. It's quiet here - no sign of resistance.

To the left you a tunnel that heads further down. To the right you see a tunnel that heads up.

"Ominous," Balyss breaks the quiet and looks around, "I don't like this."

"Too easy," Rosa agrees, "The enemy's made a tactical withdrawl, I'd bet. Surprise is lost and they're fortifying important positions rather than trying to wholly resist us. It may be a trap or they may not be confident of their forces. It's also possible that the devil in charge is merely defensive in mind."
