Galingal runs through the mist, the crystals in the entrance room and Petmailer's glowing blobs of light helping guide him to the stairs, but he isn't quite able to get out of the misty fog.

Her casting complete, Lia gives a groan as here hair stands straight out and her eyes glow blazing yellow. She thrusts out a hand and inscribes a sweeping circular motion, and the fog within lights up in a corresponding circular swirl of yellow, silhouetting Galingal for those of you on the stairs. From the door way and the far room there is a thundering of hooves, loud mooing, and the crashing and clattering of all manner of things being knocked about, to the point that you're able to feel reverberations in the floor.

Lia's hair and eyes go back to normal, and the yellow circle fades, but the sounds of stamping, bellowing moos and spectral shrieks still emanate from the fog.

The spectral figures, from the wailing, seem to be still in the far room... with cows? In either case, none of them appear out of the fog, and Galingal doesn't feel them at his back within the fog. Neth lets the spell he'd started casting slip away before starting it over, while he has his tentacle flail at whatever is within reach in the room.

((Neither Stena nor Petmailer have visual on anything other than the edge of the fog cloud in front of them.))

Petmailer runs directly across and heads up the stairs toward the others, running 30 feet and then pulling out his longbow to look for a target, bracing himself for what is to come.  He looks down at the bracelets, uncertain of their significance, saying behind him, “I have a wand here that was in that tomb.  It may help one of you who can use magic, but I cannot use it.  Take it!  If it will help you….” he puts it down on the stairs behind him.  

Movement : 30 feet and hopefully up the stairs, back toward everyone else.  

Action : Put away his short sword, take out his long bow and an arrow, turning to target any ghost that may be coming, holding until he has a target he can see.  

Free action : drop the wand on the stairs behind him, hoping that it is magical and someone else can use it.

Stena's bow waivers at the sound of cows.

"What did ye summon over there Lia?"

She hisses.

"Is Galingal a cow now?"

Petmailer moves past Lia and takes position on the stairs, offering the wand to anyone who wants it while he prepares an arrow.

"I... I'm not sure, it felt like opening a door that HAD to be opened, so I opened it where Galingal told me to cast the shatter...", Lia stammers.

"Should I do it again?"

((If told to, she can cast shatter again, either way she'll move up the stairs further, as she's at the edge of the fog right now to better focus on the far room.))

There is more smashing, and mooing coming from the far room, as well as bellows of pain and dismay.

There is a bellowing moo, and Galingal feels something bump into him in the fog and draw back before giving another bellow. The light sources illuminating the fog from within are blocked by a large form.

The fog swirls and as the head draws back and swings in the cleric's direction.

Attack: 16

The stairs have gotten crowded with more capable fighters, so the goblins fall back, saying something about guarding the way out.

Galingal feels and hears a horn slam into his shield, throwing him against the corner of the wall. It's painful, but better to get smacked into a wall than gored through the belly. At least he knows he's near the stairs up.

 ((If you picture the fog lines being on top of one another, Galingal is under the 'roof' of the level with the tomb, the party is a half to full floor up from him on the stairs, Stena and Petmailer have view on the full edge of the fog cloud, while Kolose and Neth have a narrower slice visible.))

Stena waits, not sure what to expect out of the fog but ready to shoot anything excepting, probably, Galingal.

Galingal looks at the angry cow for a moment, a glimmer of some strange emotion forming in his mind. "This is not my home either," Galingal says to the cow.

Not sure if the cow is aggressive or just moving about, Galingal still decides to disengage, slip under the head of the cow and bound up the stairs to join the others, turning to look back down the stairs.

"Lia, again, just passed angry cow," Galingal say.

"It sounds like there's more than one, and they all sound angry!", Lia exclaims. 

((Will update when I'm back at computer.))

Stena looks annoyed that there are really cows down here now.

No one is able to tell any difference in Stena's expression, cows or not.

Lia judges the distance, and unleashes another ringing blast, positioned to not get Galingal, from where she can judge he is based on his voice in the fog.

There is a lowing bellow and a thud, as if of a bovine body hitting the floor, and the ringing of shattering crystals.

 Everyone on the stairs vanishes. Looking down at your own arms, you cannot see yourself either, though it is rather dark on the stairs. 

You can still hear shuffling of feet and breathing of your companions, and a soft rattle of what sounds like pottery from where Lia was standing. Down in the chamber there are rather panicked sounding moos, another thud, and a scrabbling sound of hooves against stone.

Galingal moves out of the fog and up the empty stairs, but runs into something he can't see that gives a rather Stena-like grunt of disapproval.

Kolose mutters a quick "Fascinating" at the whole madness happening, before realizing he should be acting. He'll accept the wand, for a quick inspection later, before noticing his disappearing. (I presume Kolose could tell if they are actually just invisible right now?)

"Ah, we're still in range of all this magic- We should retreat back up for now!"


Kolose will spend his turn shifting as far up as possible.

((He'd be able to suspect as much. If he also suspects that the crystals are tied to the surges in magic, the 100ft worth of stairs and landings, as well as the entrance room and tunnel are also dotted with the pink crystals.))

Stena, used to being the only one invisible, growls a curse towards whoever just bumped her.
