Afina vs the lich (Afina)

[Ebiris]

"That's the upbringing of a Princess showing," Afina observes idly, looking up towards the source of the rustling. "Trouble up ahead," she warns. "Give it a flame, Smrgol."

Reminder I have see invis up

Smrgol raises his head up along the cliff face and then opens wide to unleash a horrifying gout of flame that immolates everything above them in a 60 foot cone!

[Anastasia]

Fires rush out, though you don't see anything burnt by them. You do hear some moving farther up, however.

[Ebiris]

"Might be farther up. Keep climbing and stay watchful," Afina says, disappointed at the lack of impact.

[Anastasia]

Mei nods tersely and keeps her gaze peeled upwards. You get up another 150ft or so and come on it. A very well hidden recess, barren of anything but a few feathers.

[Ebiris]

"Must have scared off one of those harpies we heard about," Afina says, having a look into the recess before dismissing it as empty. Sooner they find some good caverns to go through the better. "Keep going, Smrgol."

[Anastasia]

"Hold the fucking golem a moment," Dana says, "If it's empty, where the shit did they go?"

[Ebiris]

"I'm assuming upwards but with enough stealth not to be seen," Afina guesses. "I can see through invisibility and can detect everything within thirty feet of me, wherever they are now it's not here. Still though, might be a hatch or something?"

It'd be too small for Smrgol but Afina climbs off the golem and into the recess to have a look around.

[Anastasia]

The back wall has a door hidden skillfully into it. It's also locked, a keyhole found for it.

[Ebiris]

"Hidden door, good catch Dana," Afina says, climbing back out and onto Smrgol's head. "Reach in and knock it down?" she asks the crystal dragon who agreeably punches a forelimb straight into the recess to bash the door!

Strikes as adamantine so ignores hardness below 20

[Anastasia]

The door is obliterated, hunks of it flying back in the revealed hall. It's dark ahead, the light not reaching far into it. A narrow tunnel going into the mountain, going 40ft (and into your darkvision) before sloping downward and out of sight. The walls are smoothed and parts of it are replaced by brick and mortar.

[Ebiris]

"Too small for Smrgol, we'll need to find someplace bigger. But that's probably how the harpies get around and trigger traps," Afina says, leaning over to peer inside. "C'mon, we'll have to keep going upwards."

[Anastasia]

"Damn," Dana says, as Mei nods again. Up you go.

You're around 4000ft up. Even from here, the tops of the mountain are hidden by thick clouds and seem far away yet. They loom over you like the uncaring fingers of Grumbar himself, the claws mercifully hidden by the clouds.

It's at this point that you hear a loud WHUMP from below.

[Ebiris]

"Brace a moment," Afina tells Smrgol, clinging onto his head and reorienting herself to look downwards past his body.

[Anastasia]

Mei does the same, while Dana just readies her shield. Out of nowhere and 200ft below you is a giant spider that dwaaaarfs you. It has a maw full of hundreds of black teeth, green drool constantly leaking out. On its back is a saddle where a huge, deformed ogre rides, carrying a giant slab of steel in roughly the shape of a sword. What's worse, the spider's climbing on up after you at a rather fast clip.

[Ebiris]

I'd roll init, but one action should solve this and I'm guessing it has no ranged attacks.

"Let me handle this," Afina says, exercising her connection to Earth to make the cliffs around their pursuer detach from the surface and tumble downwards, carrying the ogre and spider down in a fatal landslide!
