The globe of fire smashed into the gelatinous mass from behind with a hissing heard even on that side of the pit - and then drowned, taking with it the bright light. Not that those inside the black cloud noticed, they still had to deal with the invisible attackers in there.
Another attempt of the cube to catch Leon ended up with him being just pushed forward. But then the air around swirled in assaulting tornado of strikes.
Round 4
Surprisingly, this time attacks seemed to be less precise - as if your opponents were as blind as three of you in this darkness (however, "four" would be more accurate: despite clear vision in general, Ramious still could not see those who attacked the group)
vs Alyssa: Attack: 10 Damage: 8 Attack: 15 Damage: 11
"Wha- Hey!" Alyssa would squirm in initial panic until she'd register Rami's voice. She was not expecting to get instantly grabbed and dragged away. "But Bugs!" The elf would purposely droop to become as close to 'dead body weight' as she'd dig her heels into the ground to add resistance. "And Leon!" Her hands would reach around wildly, frantically hoping to find Bernard or Leon to help them. But soon enough, she'd hear Bernard's retreat and Leon emerge from the depths of the scraper. A would let out a breath of relief.
It was then, and only then, the elf would give in with a huff. She'd cross her arms in front of her as if there wasn't a strong arm still around her dragging her off. Her legs still worked fine... Alyssa would purse her lips, then tilt her head back to look up towards Rami . It were times like these she wished she inherited the Amastacia's Gauntlets of Strength instead of the shield. Alyssa couldn't see anything in this darkness, but she assumed he could see her. Narrowing her eyes, A would blindly reach up to feel around and playfully smoosh her hand in Ramious' face. "Hey, you can let go now...I'm f-"
(Cross post while I was writing... slowwwwww I knew it lol So no DA with her being in the darkness? If still stands she'd reaction: Shield to absorb the first blow at least. And I realize I totally missed out on using absorb elements on the acid damage last round. *facepalm*)
(Right! I remember reading it/you mentioning it. Sorry. I meant to put 'eh?' at the end to make it more of a statement for confirmation XD lol One could hope!)
Alyssa felt a brush of air threatening to come her way. Her head would snap forward and she'd lift one of her dragging legs in defense to activate a protective barrier against the first attack. There was nothing she could do to prepare for what came next. The invisible foe slipped passed all her defenses with a critical strike directly to her sternum. The blow hit her with such force, it knocked the wind out of her. The only thing she could see, was stars.
Bringing her hand back down, Alyssa would continue to feel around in her daze, but on her person. With Leon safely at their side, she believed the path forward was now clear. Taking hold of one of her wands, she'd reach forward, pointing it in the direction in which her attacker approached. With a command, the elf would release a streak of lightning.
Action: Wand of Lightning Bolts - 3 Charges: Lightning Bolt Damage: 31 Dex Save DC 15 for half Wand poof?: 12
Alyssa then brings a potion to her mouth and downs it.
BA: Healing Potion Heal: 9
Although muffled, the faithful defender keeps snapping!
Dog: 9 Damage: 21
Movement: She'd keep moving back with the group if she can, carried (dragged) or with her own two feet ('You got two feet and a heartbeat! You can walk!')

After dragging Alyssa back away from the ooze, he lifted her up so her heels momentarily left the ground, then placed her on her feet, even as she was smooshing his cheeks with her hand.
"What are you doing, don't pout......" *whaaam* a blow would strike Alyssa knocking the wind out of her and staggering him as he still had a hold on her.
Before he could react she unleashed a blindingly bright crack of lightning that ripped down the hallway...a thunderous smash of the air rending momentarily made his ears rings, and, even though it was all in darkness, he could see it and was forced to blink several times to get the jagged black line free from his vision.
Ears still ringing, he muttered, "Great job, now get behind me!" He shoved Alyssa so he was between the invisible attackers and her. He was also careful to keep the invisible attackers between him and the big advancing ooze. Then his rapier appeared in his hand, vanishing from his sheath, and he swung at one of the invisible things, hoping to clip it.
Attack: 10 Damage: 14 + 8 thunder damage. If it advances before his turn, then it takes an additional 11 thunder damage. Then he backs away down the hall, keeping Alyssa and Leon behind him.

Lightning teared the darkness apart for a split of a second, revealing nothing but calming the wind around for that brief moment. Ramious struck the air, blindly but the resistance rapier met felt very much as if he hit something. And when Leon said the words that resonated with deepest fears of everyone who could hear them, the thunderous sound proved, that the blade magic indeed found its target.
The very muffled barking of the invisible dog silenced for the moment needed for the thing to bite. Coinciding it was inside the attacker - it could not possible miss.
Meanwhile, Bernard felt as if a little tornado went past him. It did not attack (at least yet) but he could be sure at least one enemy was around. 3
"I heard it, one is around here some place," Bugs says as he pulls out his healing kit. He quickly banages himself up to stop himself from bleeding out.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ramious moved away taking the cloud of darkness with him (Leon refused to hid behind him but moved nevertheless and felt like the invisible creature was still trying to reach him)
AoO vs Leon: Attack: 23 Damage: 6
The gelatinous mass equally indifferent to the darkness and biting summon followed the group. (Alyssa - AoO for the dog, please)
Round 5
(19) The invisible attacker - one that followed - did not hesitate to attack again:
vs Leon: Attack: 18 Damage: 13 Attack: 24 Damage: 13
No more attacks followed, but now, with darkness covering everything around, you could expect the monster to return.
You could not see it but both Bernard and Ramious could warn you about corridor turning left. It did not matter much - you were still exposed - but at the moment you were in a shorter section of the tunnel and who knows what was waiting behind the next corner.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
One of Leon's illusions is smacked by the slimy tendril, being taken out. He follows along just inside the darkness Ramious brought into being, knowing his lack of sight would be equal to the lack of his enemies to be able to see him in turn.
Gripping his trident in both hands, he tries to decide what the next move should be. If he brings up the cube of force, he can block the enemies from getting to them, but only for a short time, and feels confident they will just continue to follow after them. His own magic spells are being depleted in this combat, and he knows they have much more to do today, and that they just finished a rest, so would not be getting any spells back any time soon.
With a grimace he gripped the trident more firmly, knowing it was going to come to fighting here, unless his companions could come up with something he had not considered.
"I can bring up the cube of force again." He informs the others. "But I fear they will simply follow and attack once it goes down. My spells are also getting spent too-fast, and we are not done down here yet. Do you have any ideas?" He asks the following as he prepares to hit the next enemy that comes within range of his trident, falling back with the others as he readies the strike.
Ready action to hit the next enemy that comes within his reach.

(FYI, you only get an AoO if you can see your enemy.)
Ramious shakes his head, "Not yet, let's beat the crap out of these things while we can while moving back, then if we hit a dead end, the cube can protect us from the gooo.."
Ramious steps forward, taking a swing in the area where Leon's attacker is, then once again backs away around the corner. "There's a corner here, then twenty feet and a sharp right...."
Ramious' blade still in his hand lashes forward, thunderous energy rippling along his blade : 12 Damage: 15 + 2 booming energy and 12 more if he moves before his next turn.

Alyssa barely got the chance to protest when she’d get shoved back. She’d mutter something to herself under her breath as she’d get her bearings. A chuff would leave her nose. “I still got plenty of fight left...”
Though, sensing Bernard next to her, she’d reach a hand out in the darkness to check on him. “How are you doing?” The elf’s voice was soft with concern. She was more than willing to heal him if he wanted preserve his own magic.
As Alyssa listened for Bugs’ response, she’d raise a hand out towards the darkened hall. Conjuring a familiar spark, she’d fire off a bolt of flame.
"I'm a bit rough, but hanging in there. If we are to fight though... See would help," Bugs would respond. To help prove his point he would point his bow towards where he believe the monster was. He shrugged and show two arrows
(True to AoO and darkness, but darkness was on the move. And Bernard - atm, no disadvantage, so it's the first one that hit)
The impenetrable (for most) darkness sharpened group's feelings. "Whooshing" that their opponents used for speech (or any kind of sound) became more erratic indicating both their position and results of the attack. The mass behind continued its slow progress, however should Ramirous glance that way he would noticed that the debris, floating at different distance from the floor, is "sinking" and its movement is quite wobbly - the jello was not doing all that well. Nevertheless it moved and was probably about to pounce when Alyssa's fiery spark struck it, burning through with a loud hissing. The sharp acidic alien smell filled the tunnel and the debris stopped moving entirely with the dog's barking finally quieting down too.
Surprisingly, neither Bernard's arrows not the Leon's and Ramious' blade and pins did not cut or pierce the party, yet everyone felt some resistance as if weapon hit something on the other side. There was still some movement around - you all could feel it - but you could also tell it is far less threatening now.
Round 5
The enemy was about, though acting seemingly recklessly:
Another of Leon's images got smacked by whatevr was out there. He grimaced as he gripped his trident firmly again, his every sense intent on his surroundings. As soon as he felt the thing closing again he would strike at it once again.

Leon would move back as well. Unlikely that his hit actually made contact with anything, but, if by chance it did, then another 10 thunder damage if it moves before his next turn.

Yes ram the fire sphere into it. It will be useless on that side of the pit anyway, so just as well get one last damage out of it.
