After waiting a few moments of standing there holding the pit Xuuvosic seems to lose his patience, "Shit, a minute ago it seemed like everyone, well everyone but fucking Raoul, had at least as much sense as our new fodder. I dunno what changed, and really I don't fucking care. Everyone get in the fucking pit! I'm not waiting around for a city full of shadows to gang bang my ass."

"I feel so very loved. I'm not sure whether to consider myself blessed or cursed." Raoul chuckled to himself before leaping into the pit.

Marlowe sighs as he strolls back over to the pit and clambers inside. "Really, I think I'll be owed considerable overtime for this..."

Cade shakes his head and mutters, unhappy about leaving the city behind yet not complaining. As much as he hates to lose to a godsdamned shadow, he prefers continuing his life much more. The monk then enters the pit with the others.

As the last of his companions ducks into the pit, Xuuvosic hears screams coming from downstairs in the building he is in. It seems the shadows have found the construction workers that fled. He grabs the pit, concentrates briefly, and in a moment finds himself standing in a clearing in a dense forest. The center of the clearing is dominated by several large, weathered stones. Though no trees grow in the clearing itself, the branches of those surrounding it arc over it like the ceiling of a great cathedral. The stones seem to be arranged in some elaborate pattern, but its meaning is not obvious. Their faces are carved with elaborate runes in a language he recognizes as druidic.

[spoiler]Spot and Listen checks, please.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Wait...do those of us in the pit need to make checks? Just in case:

Spot and Listen (1d20+13=16, 1d20+13=31)

Probably for the best, since, y'know, I'm in a pit. :P[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well... originally I intended it to be just Xuuvosic, but since you'll all (presumably) be coming out of the pit, you'd need to make them then, anyway. So... [/spoiler]

Xuuvosic sees two trees swaying a bit out of sync with the gentle winds that are blowing the rest of the treetops. They're just at the edge of the clearing, some 50 feet away, but nearly on opposite sides of it from each other. He's not sure, but he thinks he saw movement around the roots of the one on his left (to the North).

Edit: Here is a quick map, for reference:

"Always some motherfucker has to get in the way. This time we are not fucking around half assed."

Xuuvosic immediately teleports again, this time to a random patch of desert. He speaks loud enough for everyone in the pit to hear, "There's some fucking company at the edges of the mucklestone clearing. I couldn't see what. Let's prep and go back in hard."

[spoiler]X will have Kaemarah cast Invisibility on everyone, including X while he's holding the pit. When everyone's about ready to go he'll Haste everyone but the construction workers.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I guess I'll go ahead and cast Omen of Peril. If it's two against six, there's got to be some kind of catch. :P The success chance is like 71%.

Perhaps I should also just use that Entropic Shield... I only et two spells per day anyway, and it's not like it'll decide oer my life or death if I need it more badly later. [/spoiler]

Ok... so what do you guys intend to do in the next hour? That can certainly influence the results of Omen of Peril...

I believe we're definitely going back to the mucklestones. Dunno if after clearing that area we'll go through to the underdark within an hour.

Ris-Janna intones her spell, and receives a vision of a searing light burning her to ashes.

After the vision fades, there's a few seconds of silence - at least from Ris-Janna. Then, she morely says, "I've got a really bad feeling... about this."

"We've barely had the time to rest since the whole thing began. It's been one incident after the other. They all seem fairly random and unrelated, making things even more suspicious. We might be dealing with a smarter opponent than we figured at first, here." Raoul comments.
