Allister jumps over the next pile of bones and rushes towards the minotaur in the southeastern corner. He jabs the rapier at the spine but can’t penetrate it. He slices upwards and cuts a deep gash into the spine. Still, the skeleton keeps standing and turns towards him
Nenne darts forward and down the stairs, following Allister's lead, as another tongue of flame streaks toward the minotaur the fighter has marked for death next. (Sacred Flame, 14 radiant)
Seeing Neene move forward, Boosey hurries down the steps next to her. A moment later there is a resounding bang as shatter is set off between the creature Allister is fighting, and the one against the wall. As the noise dies, ringing round the tomb, the hand slams in to the creature at the back, the sound of the impact seeming muted compared the the painful blast just gone.
Both of the minotaur skeletons in the corner lurge forward towards Allister as their fear fades. The first one attacks furiously, keeping Allister occupied parrying and dodging. The second one joins in, but the fighter cannot keep pace with their strength. The axe comes down hard against Allister's shoulder with a force hard enough to throw him into the wall separating hidden chambers (20 slashing damage).
When Allister hits the wall the minotaur lowers its head and tries to pin him between its horns. He ducks just in time, and the skeleton smashes head first into the wall. The impact dislocates some vertebrae, Allister aims carefully and rams the rapier right between the already brittle bones. With a loud popping noise the minotaurˋs head separates from the neck. The second skeleton walks towards Allister with its axe raised to strike but it stumbles and falls as the other skeleton collapses right in front of it. Allister stabs the flaming blade into the thick skull, and a powerful overhead chop with the yklwa splits the skull.
Nenne flies down the stairs as another jet of fire lances out from her mace at the farthest minotaur (Sacred Flame, 14 radiant). She weaves a sign in the air and tells Allister, "Stand firm!" as a protective red shimmer hangs around him before dissipating into his armor (Sanctuary).
The minotaur feels the sting of the holy fire and turns to charge back into battle. Another Pop! from on the higher platform draws the party's attention to Glimbul reappearing in front of the maze. He looks dazed, but quickly regains his bearing to survey the scene around him.
With five of the minotaurs out of action, Boosey moves down to the lower floor, closer to the pit. Focusing on the hand, he moves it towards the creature the cleric had just hit, and swings his arm in a wide uppercut, then sends some of the sounds from his nightmares into it, sending it skittering back towards the wall.
The minotaur charges forward, head down aimed at Allister. The red, protective magic from Nenne's spell gathers against the charging thing's head and stops it before it can reach the fighter.
Again Alister slams his weapons into the lowered head of a minotaur, cracking the skull and sending small bits of bones flying through the room as the skeleton falls apart
Coming to his senses at where he is at, he stores the item in his hand in a pocket while drawing out his longbow. Using the rails and pillar for cover he disappears from the minotaur’s sight long enough to fire an arrow. Hitting it in the rib cage it takes out several ribs.
Once again the hand slams into the bones as Boosey moves across the floor to the centre of the room. It connects with a loud crunch, but despite what has gone before, the minotaur still stands. The gnome first touches a dart, realises that he's too far away, then quickly starts spinning his sling, sending a humming projectile across the room into the bones. There's a hollow sounding "thock", and the skeleton collapses in a heap. "Three to go," he shouts with a grin.
With its back turned to Allister the skeleton is any easy target. He pierces the rapier between two vertebrae and uses it like a lever to break the skeleton apart. „Two more.“ He moves to the next skeleton and slashes across its back
Glimbul gleefully laughs “Now this is what an adventure should be like! A maze straight into a fight, what fun this is” just before carefully hiding from sight again and firing another arrow into the minotaur.
Keeping his sling in hand, Boosey sends another shot, this time at the damaged Minotaur, and again it hits, chipping off little pieces of bone. The hand swiftly follows, crushing the thing against the wall, leaving a single skeleton for the group to deal with.
Allister slowly steps behind the remaining skeleton and hacks it apart. When it falls to the ground he drops his weapons to the ground, shakes his hands and grimaces. „Damn, my hands hurts. That was like hitting a brick wall over and over again.“
Nenne smiles at the fighter and tosses the bard a grateful look. "I am sorry for doubting you, storyteller. Another victory, indeed."
She moves toward the center of the room to see Glimbul better. "What happened to you?" She gestures around her. "You can see what happened to us, after you left."
“Oh I saw alright” as he casually walks down the stairs. “I could see you all in the sky. It was like i was shrunk down to size looking up at you all from in the maze! At first when i got there i thought the map would help, but wouldnt you know it? The damned walls moved, making new paths and closing others. After wondering for a bit I thought I might be trapped forever there until I saw this!” Smiling ear to ear He holds up the crystalline key from his pocket.
”So I dashed for it and the moment i had it, I reappeared in here with time to still help! These are the things epic explorations are about!”

Nenne runs across the field and sends another gout of flame at the minotaur in front of the magical fist. (Sacred Flame, 13 radiant) "Take it out!"
Coming to his senses at where he is at, he stores the item in his hand in a pocket while drawing out his longbow. Using the rails and pillar for cover he disappears from the minotaur’s sight long enough to fire an arrow. Hitting it in the rib cage it takes out several ribs.

Nenne watches an arrow sail overhead and glances up at the balcony as a broad smile dawns on her face. "Glimbul! I am so glad you are well."
She releases another spear of holy fire toward Allister's opponent. (Sacred Flame, 13 radiant)
Glimbul gleefully laughs “Now this is what an adventure should be like! A maze straight into a fight, what fun this is” just before carefully hiding from sight again and firing another arrow into the minotaur.
