'Muiko shouts after the unslowed one "Hey! you there, [Suggestion: Bring those slowpokes back for storytime now!]" he says gesturing at those slowly leaving.

Seeing the others help out to the best of their respective abilities and strengths, Quila feels satisfied and continues her stories about the fiery dunes.

The slower ones are rounded up, yet still unaffected by the templar's charms.
The one non-slowed escapee is now not to be seen, having quickly faded into the flames.

Niachi keeps standing in middle formation, noting the direction of the escaped Mephit into the flames. He sees the slowed ones still mumbling their crafty threats and rudeness, sounding even creepier under the Slow.
[Elven: Uncle, these slow ones don't like storytime. They'll boss around the lowly thing I could summon"]
Atillius said:
He nods, thumbing in the direction of the escapee.
(common) "Gotta wait a bit for storytime to end. You'll get your battle on, just not yet. I'll Haste up whoever wants it."
Intent when the Storytime ends: Cast Fiery Eyes to affect any uncooperative Mephits at end of the Enthrall.
CON roll 14 (success)
He keeps his eyes closed as the spell begins, unless the team raises alarm.
Fiery Eyes: Duration 27 rounds
This spell causes the mage's eyes to glow with an unnatural fire. So lit, they project beams of bright light to a range of 3 feet, clearly illuminating the area as if lit by a lantern. Further, by fixing his sight on one spot for 3 rounds, the wu jen can cause combustible materials to burst into small, flickering flames if desired.
Any creature looking at Niachi must make a saving throw vs. spell. If the saving throw is failed, the creature hesitates for an instant, fascinated by the unearthly light. Creatures so affected automatically lose the initiative on the next combat round.
If cast in conjunction with a hypnosis, hypnotic pattern, or mass suggestion spell, the victims suffer a -1 penalty to their saving throws if they are looking at the spellcaster. The caster controls the color of the light emitted from his eyes, ranging from a reddish glow to brilliant yellow.

'Muiko rushes to Attilius' side, beckoning him to lean down before whispering "Give them to me, I can hide them better than you can defend them" and reaches out for the Mask and Tome.
Once he is in possession of them, he'll circle behind Attilius to use him as cover from the mephits before casting Invisibility on himself.

After Quila feels the group has done what they could about the mephits that drifted off, she is building to and end of the tale she was telling. ”And with that my fiery friends our tale of the sun-baked hills of the Fire Fields comes to an end. I thank you for your attention. I am curious what you have learned from the tale. I leave you to discuss this amongst yourselves.”
Quila walks away a short end, indicating her party members to tag along. She whispers “I can’t make us invisible but I can make us really hard to follow and not leave any trace of our passing. We should be on our way to this Forge. Anyone know where we’re going?”
Quila casts a Pass without Trace, 10” Radius (lvl 3) after she makes sure everyone in the group is within the radius.

Quilla said:
Niachi nods to her, eyes still closed, a 'can do' motion.
"I bet if one of our clerics gives us the stronger form of Protection from Evil before we continue, that'll keep us untouched by what I conjure on our way. It should be neutral.
When we need it, who would take a magic Haste? I cannot stop it's tax of 1 year of your lifespan burned and gone. With some maneuvering, I can target only who wants it."
He squints to let twin dampened beams of shimmering gold/red/silver heat shoot out about 3 feet wherever he looks. One would imagine seeing his eyes fully open would be to enjoy the gaze of an Efreet in its dominion. He starts the slow geometric incantations of Conjure Elemental-Kin, adding the penitent shuffle of a Summoner into his walk.
He chants in every language he knows to welcome their emissary and guide to where we need to go. As the spell finishes, he points to a patch of fire exactly 8 feet to his right.
Everywhere around them the charred air is heavy with the melting ironscent of a forge churning out blades.

Range: 60 yards

The conjuring does not bring what Niachi expected.
A small male creature, humanoid from the torso up arrives from the flames. Perhaps five feet long and copper-colored it has a human-like appearance. Clean shaven, or perhaps just baby faced, and with flowing, fiery red hair. His beautiful eyes flicker between amber and electric green. The lower torso is that of a large snake, with orange coloring shading to dull red at the tail end. He carries a shiny metal spear in both hands, his metallic colored hands grasping the shaft of the weapon tightly.
A teenaged voice wisps out.
"Who, nay what are you? Where did my mom go?"

Niachi bows to the creature, concentrating on anything he has learned of these impressive things.
Planes Lore: rolled 9 (success)
His demeanor instantly shifts. He rises to his full height and points his eyebeams just to the side of the thing, flexing his arms up to rest on the hilts of his weapons and booming out his warlord voice:
"A solid question, YOUNG master Scorch and Stab. I answer one, you answer one, Salamander! Cruel and capricious masters of the searing coiled strike and Flame-Touched as we are! I am THE SHADOWFURY and we are the teeth and claw of a power unimaginable. We slay the dead and dance through time and space! Your parent will see you soon, if you play smart. Those who cross our word, die slow and COLD.
My powers asked for the perfect emissary of this paradise, and they brought YOU here for a small bit of time. My question: "Shall you guide us RATHERVERYQUICKSTYLE and speak for us along the way AND back here (stamping his warlord boot) alive AND well, to the Burning Heart of the Dead God?
If you cannot, speak NOW!"
He sets his mind on anchoring the conjured to his will. His eyes flicker to deep red as he stares it down as we march away from the Mephits.
The youngster needs to save vs. magic as he sees those eyes, or he hesitates for an instant, fascinated by the unearthly light. Creatures so affected automatically lose the initiative on the next combat round (if any)
Conjure duration: 9 turns
Control range: 270 yards

Umbris gives Muriko the Tome, keeping the mask hidden in his furs... probably best not to ask were.
When Nachi asks about Haste, Umbris raises a hand, since he has no plans to die from old age.

Quila asks Skrye if she could cast the Protection from Evil 10’ Radius. If not she will cast it but then becomes dangerously low on spells.
This will be done before the salamander from Niachi arrives.

When asked about haste, Attilius nods to Niachi in agreement.

As the snake boy appears, the gladiator slowly lays his right hand on his gouge's handle as he watches the teens spear and his waist for any signs of aggressive maneuvering.
