Characters Drop and Change of Guard

August 23

Agnarr doesn’t awant to continue before the trap acat the exit is disarmed, so he goes and disarms it. Ertak rests. There is some loud shouting from Agnarr, his teeth growing before their eyes. When asked about it, Agnarr just wants to go and rest.

Neiia tries to break the tubes from which the water elementals came. Critical success in this, so she channels energy to Agnarr. No so, suddenly there is no need rest, so they continue on our way.

Next they find a room with steam near the ceiling. Ahead is a doorway and stairs, above the doorway a picture of a bearded man. Walls are full of pictures with a similar theme. Doorways are recessed in the side walls. Kieron recognizes the pictures depicting Azlanti culture, which is considered a story from before the beginning of the calendar. Kieron thinks the pictures are drawn based on reality. The man is their last prince, and the pictures include an image of their capital city. And the smoke cloud-looking thing on the ceiling is a Belker from the air dimension.

Neiia creates a water portal, Ertak makes a sun bolt. After a moment, Ertak shoots the bolt at the ceiling and walks to the door on the left wall of the room. At this point, an air elemental attacks Ertak.

The air elemental hammers the surprised Ertak into a staggering condition. Neiia throws a full-powered explosive water ball into the air elemental, that is unfortunately thus at Ertak’s toes. Ertak lunges to the ground into the room behind the doorway. Neiia rushes away, hits Agnarr, and falls. Kieron avoids the damage. When Neiia looks into the room, the air elemental has disappeared.
