Well, to be fair, it was a telepathic converation shared by all, but, yah,
Zazerial is for more demanding that Alga. It's the nature of the
personalities. Zazerial was probably needy and somewhat narcissistic when he
was alive. Alga a lot less so. I think he was just complaining that the
sniper prefers sniping, though Sean is never averse to a good melee.

Alga does not sense anything that shifts. He can't get a good reading on
valuable metals.

Besides the plethora of party magic, only the still warm bracelet that
Ozor wore detects as magical. Plus the darkness and Xander's new continual
light.

Ozor goes first, but somehow Ahearn is missed (must be his
mother). Ahearn grabs up his sword from the ground and still hits twice. Sean
misses with Alga (who doesn't detect any valuables or sliding rooms - he will
blame the miss on being asked to concentrate on those other things instead of
killing the nasty creature before him). However, Sean will score a hit with the
torch which does some nasty damage and breaks up Ozor's chanting changing it to
screaming.
Hagar, clearly the master warrior, somehow makes a nearly
perfect thrust into Ozor as well. Xander will cast a continual light onto the
ceiling which seems to help.
The continual light must have done the trick. In the following
round, The party again goes first. Ahearn will hit twice, Sean does more fire
damage, and Hagar adds what might be the final thrust. Ozor falls burning. The
flames will consume him unless someone purposely puts him out.
Beyond him, there is another 25 foot of slightly wider passage,
unlit, but no longer magically dark. Lots of runes, that for some reason the
dice gods say Cara has no problem reading generally thanking Bune for knowledge
and power. There is a heavy stone door cut into the end of the passage. The
runes on the door state, "The master of the runes concealed here runes of
power. Disturbing them will bring maleficence and insidious death to he who
breaks or unseals this door. The prophecy of destruction will call on legions
of the dead and devils"
Actions?
