Where hope dies (Afina, Surarruthru, Calleigh)

[Anastasia]

The others do the same, Tannin staying to last. "Rear's still clear," he says, "Don't see any signs of them figuring out what's going on yet."

The disjunction hits the coffins, but nothing happens.

[Ebiris]

Afina looks disgruntled at that. Magic items are meant to be easy to dispel! She always makes hers with the lowest caster level anyway... "Maybe put an illusion in this room and the last one like everything's normal? It'll confuse things and maybe buy us a few more minutes once the alarm goes up," she suggests, preparing her own magic. Nothing for it but to try again.

This time the coffin's magic gives it up, broken up and suppressed by Afina's magic. The figures inside immediately howl in utter agony, bursting aflame and burning up before your eyes. The scent of cooking meat fills the air as they become bonfires, thrashing in their coffins.

[Ebiris]

"Master, Cresiel, can you two destroy the coffins and that orb on the ceiling now?" Afina asks since those two can most reliably do physical damage to break things without having to resort to spells like the rest of them might.

[Anastasia]

The Master goes to the coffins, sharp, knife-like strikes breaking apart the wood and reducing them to ash-stained rubble. Cresiel nods and flies up, sword cleaving the orb in two. It falls to the ground, broken.

"Forward," Cresiel says, "There remain more to smite."

[Ebiris]

Waiting in case Surraruthru wants to put up some illusory distractions, Afina then closes the doors behind them from the study/torture chamber and turns invisible so she can flit through the wall by the door to the next room and take a quick peek before retreating.

[Yuthirin]

Uh, Jaela? When'd she get here?

[Anastasia]

Whoops, fixed.

[Iron Dragoon]

Uh, Permanent Image actually isn't on my spell list. The only one I have is Screen, I guess, and I doubt we want to wait around for 10 minutes for me to cast that.

[Ebiris]

Whoops, I was sure you had it. Nevermind then!

[Anastasia]

The fourth room is similar to the second room. A desk for writing, some bookshelves and another opposite door - as well as a door on the right side, leading further in. No Necrolytes or creatures are in the room.

[Iron Dragoon]

Much like the last room, Surraruthru eyes the area for traps, tricks, and loots!

[Anastasia]

Y'all are waiting on Afina since she shadow-snuck into the next room. Though the Search check will stand if y'all go in there and search.

[Ebiris]

"Looks clear," Afina reports as she flies back and reappears. "Another study but unoccupied." Not needing dramatic door kicking this time she opens it herself.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel enters and looks about. "Pity," he murmurs.

Surraruthru searches about. There's more books to be found, as well as several thick piles of notes. They can be taken if you wish.
