Since Sprig is already in the cloud, and already made his save, I will allow movement in either direction without consequence.

He will be unable to act for one round once he leaves the cloud, however.

Grossphil the Feeble

After the dwarf pushes him to the side and stands ready to destroy any orcs who show up through the cloud, Grossphil decides the hungry determination in the eyes of the fighters should be enough to defeat 2 orcs, both of whom will have to enter the stinking cloud if they want a chance to hit us. Grossphil will have Mac's spellbook ready in hand should he need to use it, and if possible he wants to get a better look at the room he's in now. He will scan the room and try to make out discernable shapes or heat signatures if infravision isn't spoiled.

Bracing themselves for the orcs to rush through the cloud to attack, the party is slightly flummoxed when they take off towards the north and run through the black portal there instead.

Unable to do much else, Sprig makes it through the doorway into the dark room with the others, bent over in a coughing fit to rid his tiny lungs of the toxic fumes from the smelly cloud. Zefarrel stays put just outside the fumes, all by herself now in the long hall.

Through the fluctuating mists, the group watches as Zemroy begins another spell completely unchecked, a diabolical sneer etched upon his old face. Suddenly there are 3 Zemroy's standing in the room, all 6 of his arms continue to draw magical sigils in the air in front of him. "Thanks for finding that door for me! Now run away little piggies! Run away while you still can!!!" He continues to stare straight ahead.

Grossphil looks around the dark room, unable to detect any heat signatures inside with the light coming through the open door behind him. He sees a dark shape of something floating directly in the middle of the room, but he cant make out what it might be.

Actions!

Finnigan 10/25
Mac -13/7 2/2 first 0/1 second (Deceased)
Zefarrel 6/20 1/4 first 3/3 second
Sprig 8/10 1/2 first
Grossphil 6/16 0/2 first 0/1 second

Elitir

Elitir switches to her sling and fires at Zemroy.

Sling [1d20] = 5 to hit [1d4+1] = 2+1 = 3 damage

Sprig coughs uncontrollably.

Zefarrel senses the orcs are trying to flank her, so she goes through the south portal hoping to turn the tables on the wizard.

Grossphil the Feeble

Even though he now has a mirror image up and running, Grossphil is fairly confident he can capture all three images in a web spell. He will cast web from Mac's spell book and center it at the "center Zemroy" to trap all of them as he doesn't know which is the real one.

He trusts that Finnigan will shield him and make sure nothing disrupts Grossphil's spell.

Since he's blind does that mean he'll have negatives on his saving throws? I don't see how he could dodge the web if he can't see.

Finnigan switches to his bow and fires an arrow at the right Zemroy.

Morning?

Zemroy hears 4 sounds in succession. Sprig coughing uncontrollably, Elitir's sling stone bouncing off of the wall nearby, Grossphil casting a spell, and Finnigan's arrow crashing into the wall behind him. The only thing he doesn't hear is a reply to his previous smug comments, but he now knows that the group is unlikely to agree to his terms of surrender.

All three Zemroy's cast another spell in the meantime, but at least this one doesn't make the room explode in fire again. The results of his current incantation is not immediately evident.

Grossphill pages through Mac's burnt spellbook, trying to find something he can do to stop this arcane onslaught from the clearly much more powerful mage in the other room. The best he comes up with is creating an invisible mass that he can use to pass through the stinking vapors into the next room without harm. "Maybe there is something in this room we could use to our advantage? Can anyone find a light source? If you have anything magical at all left to toss at this bastard, NOW is a good time to use it!!!"

Zefarrel disappears down the long hallway and can no longer be seen by anyone inside the secret room. Eventually her footfalls cease.

Elitir

Elitir tries her sling once again. Aiming for the left Zemroy.

Sling [1d20] = 14 to hit [1d4+1] = 3+1 = 4 damage

Finnigan fires at the middle Zemroy.

Grossphil the Feeble

Unseen Servant is a very touchy spell and is up to the DM's discretion how its to be handled so I'm going to give 2 actions with 1 clear preference, but if that's deemed not allowed the 2nd option will be my action.

Preferred action: use the unseen servant to disrupt Zemroy's spell by going for the Zemroy on the right. Commanding the servant to bump into Zemroy to disrupt his concentration.

If that's deemed not legal: Grossphil will cast continual light from Mac's spell on a bud of garlic the elf has in his pack to light up the mysterious room they're in.

Sprig will fire his sling at the remaining Zemroy (right?) in the hopes of disrupting any further casting: Attack with Sling (THAC0:18): To Hit: [1d20] = 8 Damage vs. s/m: [1d4+1] = 1+1 = 2, vs. Lg: [1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3

Day 5
Morning?

Standing in a row from shortest to tallest, wedged in the doorway in order to see their target, Sprig fires a sling stone, Finnigan fires an arrow, and Elitir another stone. None of them do anything to stop the 3 advancing Zemroy's. Elitir's stone appears like it is going to hit, but just before it makes contact with one of the mages, it seems to strike an invisible barrier, causing it to fall to the floor without harm.

Grossphil commands his invisible servant to attempt to distract Zemroy by bumping into him, though the elf isn't really sure if that will work or not. He starts casting a second spell from Mac's book, this one causing a bright light to spring forth from his bud of garlic. Holding up his light to illuminate this secret room, the sickly mage finds it filled with more curiosities.

There are chests and shelves along the outside walls of the room, all of them appear to be overflowing with clothing of all kinds. Some articles look very plain and well worn, while several others are much fancier and appear totally unused. Mixed in amongst the chests are more dusty trophies, paperwork, and other junk, all looking like its been there for some time. One shelf appears to be filled with more of the thick tomes that were found in the library. A normal wooden door can be seen in the southwest corner of this room, a few bulging sacks and other items lie scattered nearby it. But the oddest thing the elf finds is a carpet, just floating in mid air in the center of the room. There is nothing on top of or attached to the rug, it just appears to hover in the air.

Zemroy slowly creeps towards the group still trying to shoot him from a distance, waving his hands and chanting magical phrases as he advances. After tossing a pinch of sand in the direction of their twanging and whirring weapons, Finnigan suddenly slumps to the floor without warning, snoring away like a baby dwarf all of the sudden.

"What will you do now, little piggies? Are you all content to die in there, one by one? Come now Mac! You seem to be the brains of your group. Why don't you talk some sense into your friends before you're all dead?"

There is still no sign of Zefarrel anywhere in the 2 rooms, though luckily, Zemroy's pair of summoned orc's hasn't returned yet either.

Elitir

Elitir tries to wake Finnigan with by shoving him around with her boot. She also launches another stone at the same Zemroy.

Sling [1d20] = 2 to hit [1d4+1] = 3+1 = 4 damage

No saving throw vs. spells for sleep spell?

Finnigan tries to wake up.

Sorry to make you wait a week for that lame result........... but this is 1E.

Saving Throw: None

(hey, at least it only affected one of you)
