Io's Labyrinth

[Corwin]

"I'll have to remember this for my next banquet at the Cauldron. Thank you so much!" Seira echoes Alicia.

[Nephrite]

"I doubt this is what most parents mean when they tell their children to eat to grow up strong." Moore says with a smile. "Simply marvelous indeed, and quite delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us."

[Anastasia]

"It is Lord Io's gift and my gift," The wyrm says, "Succeed, for all our stakes and fates."

[Corwin]

"We will," Seira assures her.

Same as pre-dungeon, I'll be recasting my buffs on any who wish for them
Glorious Rally, Celestial Valor, Ghost Touch (Armor, Shield and Weapons), Recitation (per round spell), Shield of Warding, Foresight, Visions of the Future, Dragonskin, Superior Vigor (per round spell), True Seeing, Vision of the Omniscient Eye, Detect Scrying, Greater Arcane Sight, Freedom of Movement, Pass Without Trace, Greater Anticipate Teleport, Greater Heroism, Voice of the Dragon, Good Hope, Nondetection, Mass Death Ward, Heroes's Feast (still active from before, just here for completeness's sake), Energy Res 30 (all), Fortunate Fate, Spell Turning

I know some of those haven't run out yet, but I'll just reset durations to this point to keep things simple.

On self: Chain Dispell channeled into Dragon's Grace, Ray Deflection, Sign.

Thus the party heads out of theroom and...

"Do we continue or go face Io now?" Jetina asks, "We have two keys and they're strong keys, maybe that's what we needed?"

[Ebiris]

"There's still that passageway that was wracked with cold and lightning, I'd like to see what it was hiding," Alicia says.

[Corwin]

"We continue until we've explored the entire place," Seira responds. "After all, we had the keys before we came here, and it was a lovely reward. We made some nice friends in the process, too."

[Anastasia]

Thus you return there, looking at the clashing elemental forces in the long hallway and...

Go ahead, ball is in your courts.

[Ebiris]

"Lets try blocking one way, then we can time it for the blasts and either make it around or at least put up another barrier before the next one hits?" Alicia suggests, putting a wall of force down the westward end of the passage then backing off to wait and mark time for the blasts. And see if the wall of force has unintended consequences or gets breached.

The party waits several moments. The expected blast does not come, surely blocked by Alicia's wall of force.

[Ebiris]

That's the lightning stopped but still they have to wait on the cold, and then for another cold one to properly time the duration between them.

[Anastasia]

It's about 4 or 5 seconds, looks like.

[Ebiris]

"They're actually quite fast paced," Alicia muses as she watches that piercing cold rush past again and again. "Seira, lets work together? I put up a wall, we move to it, then when I lower it you put up a wall past it and we repeat?"

[Corwin]

"Let's try that," Seira readily agrees. "Worst case, I can survive whatever it is and dash across to deal with the source. As for now, 3 seconds's intervals to be on the safe side?"

[Anastasia]

"Don't worry, I can heal whatever happens to you," Jetina calls, "Even from traps."

"Hope so," Amaryl murmurs, "Be careful, Seira!"
