Ugh. I hate sand. It's coarse and rough. [Combat thread.]

Chat'cho leaps upward, thrusting her arms high into the air totally unnecessarily as she casts a Command spell at the remaining creature that is not affected by the spell she cast last round. If Attilus kills the sand woman in front of her, she will maneuver herself so that her "Comme!" Command will provoke opportunity attacks from those in the party that have magic weapons, hopefully allowing them to kill it. If Attilus fails to kill the sand woman in front of her, she will remain where she is and cast the spell anyhow. The creature is entitled to a saving throw vs spell if it has more than 6 HD.

'Muiko will hold his action in the coming round.  

Just to note (since I forgot to mention it before), Skrye will be at 190% normal size for 45 rounds or 'Muiko dismisses it.  No concentration needed.

[DM Bob]

The tari quickly attacks with two well placed blows on the sand golem before her.

It drops into a non-animate pile of sand. A wisp of spirit is seen leaving the body, the rat woman feels a moment of... thanks & appreciation(?) before it vanishes as quickly as she and the others see it.

The command does nothing.

But Attilicus and Coden each attack the staggered one before it can act... by the 2nd of the goliath's hits with the gouge, it dissolves much in the same way as the first.

Congratulations! You now stand winded and down on memorized spells as you stand in the torture chamber. Three doors are on the cage side of the room on the same wall that have not been entered. The one in the middle stands open, with a few piles of sand and an open stone box or crate towards the back of the large closet-like chamber.

Chat'cho produces a pair of triumphant whistles. "Wonderxhul! Two guardians down and not mmuch worse xhor wear."

She moves over to the Tari and dedicates one of her 1st level spell slots to Orison, which she'll use to immediately restore all four of the hit points that the Tari lost as a show of gratitude. Once she accomplishes this, Chat'cho sets herself to the considerable task of attempting to reactivate her Gythka of Past and Present. Her methods include cleaning it, shaking it, spinning it, rubbing it against things, knocking on it, and pawing at it with her hands.

[Niachi]

Niachi catches his breath and squints his glowing blue eyes around the room.

"I sure (huff) hope we are being entertaining enough."

Club ready, he scoots to avoid getting smacked with Scrye's enlarged tail and focuses on the 3 doors if nothing else in the room reveals arcane vibes.

[Attilius]

The giant picks up his dropped gouge then leans his shield against the bars and instantly goes to cleaning the dust off his weapons with his water skins and blanket.
"Smart trap that one..."

Once he's cleaned he'll look over the room for anything metal to grab. Then he'll look.for secret doors on every wall.

"Thank you all xhor the assistance. I a*reciate the aid you rendered in kee*ing mme away xhromm those creatures. How singular! I shall resumme mmy ex*loration xhorthwith, now that these things are out oxh the way."

She bows her head respectfully toward the group.

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

"I wonder if that anti-magic dust would work on a sorcerer-monarch."

[Deleted]

"Considering that I was utterly coated in it xhrom head to toe and still cast sexheral s*ells? I think that's a good way to die."

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

"Sorcerer-monarchs are typically rife with enchanted regalia."

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye looks at Chat'cho - "Thank you, now please be more cautious next time" - sincerely speaking with a smile, then she'll be looking for anything that was held by the statues or around in the room that may look a woman's apparel - "Was my imagination or was the creature I defeated thanking me for this? It's like these were released from.. A curse?" - in more of a rethorical question than awaiting a reply whilst looking around inside

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

”Maybe a spirit was bound against its will to instill life and animation to otherwise formless shifting sands? There are many such ways either through arcane magic or psionics to bind a spirit or mind to something.” Quila responds to her temporarily non-diminutive tari friend.

Quila focuses on her Locate Object to feel her way forward to vials. She will only move forward and open stuff after Niachi and others can vouch it’s safe or inform her of magic detections.

Chat'cho tap-tap-taps her foot on the floor of the crypt, seemingly using the repetitive sound as a way to think. "I should haxhe ke*t mmy inxhisi*ility itemm online the whole timme. That way, I would haxhe known when it sto*ed working, and nexher would haxhe walked into that amm*ush not knowing what was going on. I'mm sorry. I just didn't think I'd need it!"

Her apologies through, Chat'cho resumes attempting trying to fix her magic stick, trying anything she can think of.
