 DUNGEON MASTER: As Mesodias heaves the door open, the sound of a nasal voice reciting arcane words can be heard from the double doors above.  A shadowy sphere of darkness, 20' in radius, springs into existance, and hurtles down into the middle of the courtyard.  Solar's dancing lights can no longer be seen.

[The courtyard is now enveloped in darkness--creatures without darkvision cannot see and suffer a 50% miss chance.]
 SOLAR CE’NEA: Solar delays his casting until he can see
 JOHAN D’ALMENTA/MESODIAS: Mesodias panics now faced with sudden darkness, unsure of what to do he closes the door he just opened and braces himself against it.

 DUNGEON MASTER: Johan finds nothing close at hand.
 JOHAN D’ALMENTA/MESODIAS: Mesodias Strength check: 1d20+4 = 17
 DUNGEON MASTER: The creatures on the other side appear to be hurling themselves against the door.  Johan's side opens without resistance, whereas the creature on Mesodias' side struggles to open the way against the brute.  In the end, it succeeds, and the door can be heard creaking open in the darkness.

Moments later, the sound of wooden clubs smashing against metal ring through the magical night.
 DUNGEON MASTER: A wooden club smashes against Johan's shoulder, dealing 8 points of damage.  Mesodias too is targeted in the darkness, but by sheer luck he avoids the club.

But there is another sound--a whirring blade that whizzes down from above, landing with a sickening thunk in Solar's flank.  [10 points of damage, plus a fort save vs. poison, please.]

 SOLAR CE’NEA: Grundig cancels his flaming sphere
 SOLAR CE’NEA: SOlar says I am still invisabile, if you guys wat to search these rooms, I will open the other door and scout around a little.
 DUNGEON MASTER: From somewhere to the north comes a terrible scream, like that of a woman.  It ends abruptly.
 JOHAN D’ALMENTA/MESODIAS: "Sounds fine to me, don't mind a breather after that just be safe and don't forget you still make noise as you move."

 SOLAR CE’NEA: Solar does know local to identify the lady he sees 1d20+15=24
 DUNGEON MASTER: The sudden cry similar to the creatures already encountered rises from the room to the north, where solar has gone on ahead to explore.  In the next moment, his spell ends and he becomes visible.  A sphere of darkness--which he had not noticed before--hurtles down from the wall above and envelops him.

Somewhere above, the woman screams again.  "Somebody, help me!"

 SOLAR CE’NEA: 9 damage
 DUNGEON MASTER: The sound of raining dirt and stone hails down on the eastern half of the room.  The creature before Solar falls to the ground, and other creatures can be heard howling and falling to their deaths.
 JOHAN D’ALMENTA/MESODIAS: Johan moves five foot forward, taking cover behind one of the crates on the floor as he takes a defensive stance from anything (not Solar) breaking the darkness. "What the fuck is going on in there? You know where we are," Johan calls out to Solar.
