Olenna braced herself clinching her jaw as the mental attacks managed to get through. " Oh goddess this does not feel good. Hurry and kill these things!"

Sustaining the damage, Olenna would try her best to keep the Mephits from causing her any more harm, she would focus her mind now understanding how their attacks would feel to hopefully numb the pain if they managed to attack again.

The summoned creatures grow more frenzied in the singleminded psychic attack on Olenna, determined to bring down their defiant quarry. Your skirmish with the imps may have gone unnoticed by the cyclops, but it seems unwise to let this continue much longer.

Narratively turns occur roughly at the same time and their mechanics are resolved at the end of the round. Therefore any boosts earned or advantages created are unavailable until the following round. These spirits are immune to physical attacks, and dim light raises the difficulty of relevant tasks by one.

Any action taken by intruders that would draw attention fills the Sisyphus track by one. Some examples include making noise, moving around with lights, or a single round of combat. The guardian will interrupt whatever the party is doing once the track is filled.

Discipline: BlinkYou have mastered the art of teleportation. You can teleport to a location that you know well or can see (Athletics). Destinations that are farther away and/or not as well known to the caster call for higher difficulties. You can also teleport other beings and objects to your location or a location near you (Provoke/Empathy) and open portals (Empathy).

Discipline: SightYou have mastered control over what you see and perceive. You can uncover hidden secrets (Investigate) and discern illusions from reality (Empathy). You can also look or listen in on places, people, or objects that you know well, no matter the distance (Empathy). These spells should increase in difficulty due to a lack of familiarity with the target and greater distances.

Desperate is as desperate does; Vahn felt a distinct unease at their circumstance.

"We must finish this and move on before we draw the giant's attention!" Vahn hissed; it had done wonders the first time, but his subsequent attempt had done little to abjure the mephits from this realm. But Vahn had faith and pressed what seemed to be their advantage.

" I cant take this anymore!" Olenna would be forced to use her Raiper's lightning in order to get rid of the creatures. Quickly removing her weapon from its sheath a lightning bolt would quickly flood out from the tip of the blade and towards her targets.

Markus once again tried to hit the mephits with holy arrows, but this time he took into account their supernatural-like evasive ability. He predicted where they would evade rather than where he thought they would be. Try as hard as he may, Markus was unable to pin down the mephits. "Right then... It's the darkness, they're so small and hard to see in the dark..." Markus uttered in embarrassment as his arrows all soared through empty air save for one that seemed to hit its mark by chance.

You take a moment to inspect the fallen adventurer and collect the bronze guildplate as proof of his death. According to the plate his name was Tomas, sent on a routine gathering mission for the valuables found in these mines. The other three members of his party are nowhere to be seen.

A path winds downward from your ledge into an area known as the Chamber of Bones. There remnants of prior meals rest atop a gigantic stone table surrounded by highbacked chairs. The cyclops is still kneeling back in his workshop, having stirred only slightly from his endeavor.

Markus looked at the bones scattered around with unease. "Let's not hang around for dinner," he chimed. Though he did wonder if there was anything of value to be scavenged with relative ease.

"Agreed.." Vahn glimpsed over the precipice, to where the colossus worked its art upon mountainous stone, chiseled and marred not with tools but with a bare hand and the lick of liquid flame. If the molten blood of the earth did naught to harm its fingers, then how was one meant to best such an entity?; Vahn tore away from the view and followed suit, delving into that strange chamber of home and bone.

[Fiffin]

The air grows heavy with the stench of decay as you cross underneath the table. Moldering refuse is strewn haphazardly across a stained and pitted floor, or piling at the base of stone pillars that form legs supporting the gigantic furniture.

Rounding an overturned and oversized cup, you come face to face with a few hunchbacked scavengers picking through the bones; startled, the pale goblins turn and flee through a man-sized opening in the wall nearby.

"I hope that there aren't many more of those goblinfolk down here.." Vahn said in a hushed tone, concerned that the refuse-ridden walls and bone-filled earth would betray their presence to the gargantuan artisan. "Perhaps there is another way than the one they took?;.." the pilgrim placed his hands together and searched not with his own sight, but that of his spirit companion.

 

[Fiffin]

Surely the guardian could not protect anything hidden in such a small passage. Ignoring the scavengers, you continue between the stone columns.

The humanlike figures are turned away from you, facing a giant archway in the wall.

"Vahn! Nows not the time for daydreaming!" Markus said in a hushed voice after helping the others pull him back.

"Look! They're probably the ones who summoned those shadow spirit things earlier, and that giant archway... The core has to be through there, right?" He whispered to the others.

Perhaps they had the same objective, though they likely weren't going to cooperate if they really were the culprits from their earlier battle. Better to just follow and observe until they could determine if they were friend or foe.
