The fireball splits into two parts, the heat scalding Marv as it shoots past.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Gah! I could have thought that one through better."

[Mik_Hael]

"Okay let's see, the cultist base should be somewhere around here, make a quick buck, steal a few items and I'm good to..."

sees that the entrance is burst open.

"...Well @)*$$"

[Zaleramancer]

The Imp escaped the crazed warrior to find the entrance to the ruins. It half-climbed, half-flew through the door to see a humanoid.

The Imp dithered as to whether or not to attack, and decided to merely watch invisibly.  

[Mik_Hael]

"Great so so much for that plan...but let's see"

(Forgot if in first or third person) I loot through the corpses surrounding the area and find nothing.

"Yep adventureres, completely cleaned out...but wait maybe this is an opportunit..."

I hear something something shifting around the wreckage of the door, I glance in the direction without moving my head, but I don't see anything.

"Uhuh..." I sit on the ground and unsling the guitar on my back, I begin to play a fast paced energetic song.

[Philote]

I reenter the hall after the fireball has passed and notice that the force wall has dissipated. I launch three arrows in a row to keep the Ward Cultist distracted from preparing any complex spells.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I charge forward with my blade ready to strike.

[Zaleramancer]

The Cultist drops with a yelp, while his ally sprays fire towards the heroes.

[Zaleramancer]

The music drives into the Imp's mind and it has to resist the urge to jitter around, even so it dislodges a stone from the wall it perches on.

[Mik_Hael]

Ä stone suddenly falls from the ruins followed by the sound of two thuds, one after the other.

"Knew it," I place my hands across the strings of the guitar instantly cutting off the music and its affect. "Alright then, come on out there's no point in hiding, and I'm not quiet dumb enough to think that you'll let me pass.

[Zaleramancer]

The Imp cursed to itself in several choice languages. It then took flight to hover in the air.

With one final curse, the Imp shed it's invisibility to throw a small firebolt towards the bard.

[Mik_Hael]

"Whoa" I summersault to the left narrowly avoiding the fireball, and grab a large stone from the ground mid flip, before landing.

"Well that wasn't very nice." I begin to advance owards the imp casually tossing the stone in the air and holding the guitar over my solder akin to a bat. Without warning I suddenly toss the rock into the air and slam it towards the imp using the Guitar, before breaking off into a spring towards it.

[Zaleramancer]

Seeing the stone whistling through the air, the Imp attempts a desperate dodge. The stone strikes the moving Imp's wing and sends it spiraling downwards.

It strikes the ground hard, and looks up to see the bard dashing towards it.

The Imp says a single word, and suddenly disappears in a puff of smoke.

[Mik_Hael]

"!!? Darn." I stop in my tracks and ready my guitar again. I know that this creature already has the ability to become invisible...I slowly begin to make my way to the Entrance of the Ruins while begginning to play the song Brahm's lullaby.

[Zaleramancer]

The Imp crouched behind a partially collapsed wall. Teleportation had saved it's hide.

That cursed Bard was making music again.. Soft soothing music.. The Imp began to drowse, then shook itself. It could not let another person enter these ruins.

Once again, it used invisibility to stealthy advance. Though the song made focusing difficult, it tried it's best to make as little noise as possible.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I Attempt to duck and role around the fire and approach the cultist.

[Mik_Hael]

"Almost...Almost...yes" Now close enough to the door I teleport several feet into the cooridoor of the ruins, and cast an illusion to match the color of the wals before slinking into a shadow and staring intently at the door...i realize that I've stopped just short of a cultist corpse with multiple stab wounds..."Nice."

[Zaleramancer]

Seeing the approaching spellblade dodge past his fire, the younger cultist changes tactics.

He begins chanting some spell.

Meanwhile, the Ward-making cultist reasserts himself. He sends out a flat plane of force towards Phi, using it like a battering ram.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Yeah, I've got magic too fool." My blade pops alight with magic as I slash towards the cultist.
