(OOC: I think Theldrin takes half damage for moving into the area of effect)

Avery steps forward, slicing through the blade of disaster along with Khessa's bolts of magic, destroying it. At that same time, Theldrin's spell goes off and destroys the Cloudkill. The room falls silent again as the green fog quickly dissipates.

You have a chance to take a breather before your next decision. You've got multiple possible exit's from this Hall of Audience.

Khessa pats everyone on the shoulder: "Good work! This was truly a tough fight... I wonder if these..." she struggles to find the right definition "...spell-creatures were created by Fadheela or were merely the residual effect of some great magic from the past."

"Considering that this route seemed the most use one," the blonde arcane warrior reasons "the former seems more likely... else, anyone who entered this corridor would have been killed—and the path would not have seemed so frequently traveled."

Meanwhile, the shrinking effect wears off, and the tall (again) adventuress sits down and tries to catch her breath, while making notes in her spellbook about these dangerous but very interesting creatures: "Shall we rest for a moment? I'm not too eager to encounter another threat of this magnitude in our current state."

[[Just to clarify, Asclepius is not destroyed?]]

Coriana dismisses her blades, looking over the snake, says, "Me and Asclepius could use a refresher, but I can cope if we're not in a good space."

[[Coriana is maintaining concentration on hex, 8 hr. duration.
  If we take a full short rest, Coriana gets a spell slot and Asclepius can get up to full.
  If we take a once-a-day "action short rest" Asclepius will stay out and at 43/60 hp.
  If we do neither, Coriana will use magical cunning to get back a spell slot.]]
