Seeing all other options fail and her plans fall apart Yulya helplessly follows the others to certain demise.
I hope the gods at least acknowledge our heroic deeds.



Yulya speaks a prayer to Eldath and She She and also the Mechatherial Demigoddess and follows behind the others.
Thanks for refilling my focus Ashley. I just hope this is enough...

Yulya casts LIGHT on a small rock and tosses it  into the tunnel ahead to at least provide some illumination.

lol

[Ashley] I don't evem die when I die, I'll be okay. Even Joy doesn't know what's up ahead, trap or not I don't want to be responsible for dead Phandalinians.

Yulya tries to identify the scaly being with the help of Cats primal knowledge while her rage lasts. Cat and Yulya determine it to be some sort of chameleon reptilian.

Alice looks at them with a rather stupid expression.
And this tells us - what exactly?

Then Yulya tries to find a way for Alice to squeeze through the rubble. But with the large boulders and rubble, it's likely that's not what they were doing. There has been a recent ceiling collapse here, perhaps a trap, so there might be a bugbear or some other creature in the rubble but to get to it would take hours.

Meh, and it looked like a good plan. Guess we will have to attack straight on. Something for you Cat!

"No? No one wants to save them?"

Alice picks her nose.
What's with you? Since when do you care for your fellow humans?

"Sorry but I'm going now." Ashley rally heals Olga.
Helga rushes into the tunnels ahead, followed by Nixie and Olga, sending firebolts flying towards the walls and other targets.
Olga and Nixie are struck for 5 and 7.
"Dangit Helga, I just healed her!" Ashley chases after them down the next corridor.

Alice rolls her eyes
Alright alright. It was getting annoyingly noisy. Guess we'll use the powered up cats. No better plan in sight.  Well it was nice getting to know you all but it looks like you're going to die here...

Alice follows the cats at a safe distance

The screaming of the girl sounds more desperate by the second.

Alice moves away from the dangerously boosted lynxes and inspects the rubble, looking for a small passage to squeeze through to see what's at the other side.

While Yulya is close, Ashley refills the large Focus to 6MP

I understand we must rescue the girls as fast as possible but if we rush into battle now we will all perish and save no one. So we cannot launch a frontal assault at the enemy while he is aware we are coming!  Can you raise the elevator from below so it looks like we went back up? We will then set up an ambush behind the corner in case someone comes to look what is going on. If nobody comes we advance as stealthily as possible.

"What stealth? They know we're here!" Ashley looks at the chains and pulleys, "Nope, it looks like someone needs to be on the platform for it to move up or down."

The girl's bloodcurdling screams seems to have changed like she's being actively attacked.

"Sorry but I'm going now." Ashley rally heals Olga.
