Hot wind tinged with the smell of burning oil blows down a forty-foot-diameter vertical shaft. Stone balconies protrude from the walls on opposite sides of this expanse, with the far balcony fifteen feet higher than the one Silas has walked out onto. Two thick chains rattle in the gulf between the balconies-one ascending two hundred feet before disappearing into a cloudy vortex lit by arcs of purple lightning; the other wrapping around an enormous metal gear floating one hundred feet below. Another hundred feet below the gear, a second vortex rages. As Silas walks to the edge of the balcony, a rip forms in the vortex high above, and nine cube-shaped creatures with wings and shortbows fly through. They are quickly followed by a large crystal decahedron...and inside the large crystal, sitting like a passenger, is a weird starfish-shaped creature. They are 200 feet up the shaft from the balcony.

Sickle raises his hand where the ring sits on his finger, covered in frost. A blue spark flashes and arcs up and over toward the creatures. A Freezing Sphere explodes in the midst of the strange beings. CON Save DC17 or 35 Cold damage, half on success. (OOC: there are other effects, but I don’t think any of them apply)
The rest of you watch as Sickle holds his hand aloft and prepares to walk out onto the balcony....but then a shimmer of blue across his eyes, and his eyes go dead.....a thin layer of ice creeping across his hand....and a wicked grin stretches across his face, a plume of cold white emerging from his mouth....he points his ring at his own feet....and a blast of ice and cold rip through the group.
CON save DC 17 everyone, or 35 cold damage. Half on success. (Sickle and the Dire Wolf are unaffected by the cold.)
The blue shimmer across his eyes evaporates as the ice cracks across everything, and Sickle stares around at horror at what's he's done.

Grenk's con save 19 He saves for half which rounding down is 17 and then has cold resistance to take half of that which is 8 cold damage.
The cold spell hits Grenk and he shivers for a moment and turns to face his aggressor with his flaming sword and stops. He growls a little, "We'll talk about this later." He then turns his attention to the creatures. He sheathes his blade and pulls out his bow.
I'm thinking putting away the sword and pulling out the bow takes up his actions but if they don't and he can attack he will shoot two arrows at disadvantage at the star creature as it's out of the 1st range for the bow but no the max range.

Mal steps out onto the balcony, aims her bow and fires two shots up into the shaft. The first wizzes past all of the creatures and hits the maelstrom....and looks like it disintegrates with a puff, though it's tough to tell from here. The second arrow slams into one of the cube creatures, clattering off it's metallic body but seemingly leaving a gash, some bits falling out and tumbling past her down into the shaft below.
Then the cold explodes around everyone, and there was much rejoicing cursing.
The crystal begins descending towards them, getting 60 feet closer, now only 140 feet away.
Grenk, shaking off the cold, steps out, and fires at the starfish thing that's encased in a crystal. The first arrow clatters off the crystal harmlessly, hitting the side of the shaft and then tumbling down past them. The second one seems to hit the crystal and leave a crack.
Badger yells in pain and upset and runs away down the hallway.
The cubes all flutter 30 feet lower, now 170 feet away. And fire their short bows at the people below.
"I can not reach those winged things," Silas mention as he pulls out a grappling hook and rope. He spins it up and tries to throw it onto the ledge across from them.

Silas whirls his grappling hook and tosses it across to the other balcony, missing the massive chain that extends up and down the entire space. It clanks onto the edge. He pulls it hard, digging it's hook into the edge firmly.
Mal fires upwards, one bolt hitting the same creature, ripping another hole in it's metallic side, while the second bolt slams off the things side. Then she withdraws back into the tunnel.
Oops, Sickle's turn too. Sickle?

Sickle looks around in horror at the icy carnage he rained down on them. He stutters, "I-I-that's not what I meant to..." He shakes his head to clear it, then says, "I think I can make a bridge to the other side, but it will take my most powerful spell ability."
He turns then, and moves toward the trembling wizard. He offers, "I'm sorry, let me help." He waits for Badger's consent, then will heal him for 24 HP.

Badger cries out in pain as the frost engulfs him, and he runs away from the shaft back into the passage, shivering with cold. (down to 5 HP)
