Samael expends two more charges on the stealth staff to invisible Ranmor and Graamros, then takes up a firing position near the top of the room, using walk unseen on himself.

[Laharl]

Ranmor salutes Kati "Yes, my Lady." and takes off invisibly into the keep, heading for the top floors at his usual ridiculous pace.

[Zanaikin]

A few minutes later, Graamos and Kati finished sweeping the lower floors while Ranmor took down the symbols on the upper floors. In addition to the ones placed on the stairways and ramps, you also found a number of them in the corridors. Cary's team also came in and helped to sweep the first and second floors, except they stayed as two groups to protect from hostilities of any remaining survivors. However, there were none, as the teams did not come across a single living goblin, orc, ogre, or troll within the halls.

At this time, the troops outside has reported that the cloudkill has moved away from the entire Keep by now, and that they have finished sweeping the walls and all the guard towers.

[Sajuuk]

To Squad: "Okay, meetup on the third floor, we are going door to door to make sure this place is cleared out."

To Troops: "Okay men, secure the area, take defensive positions in case of enemy counterattack and await further orders."

To the leaders of Crusader, Cleric, Warmage squads: "My group might need assistance in there, send your best four men to meet up with me on the third floor."

[littleangryman]

To Kati over telepathic bond: "Right, I'm on my way."

[Zanaikin]

On the two lower levels, Cary's troops formed four squads and began to sweep through the floors room by room, while two fully platoons of hers entered the Keep and made minor cleanups to the hallways (pushing corpses aside), ready to support any squad that needed help. A few fireballs were heard here and there but no seriously combat came about.

Kati's squad and the troops called up divided into two groups and scoured floor three and four room by room. They came across only a few rooms where a barely alive goblin or orc was still moving around, and promptly hurled in a few arrows/bullets/fireballs to finish off what life they have remaining.

Upon reaching the fifth level, Kati's two groups converged and advanced across the floor, searching the rooms. They encountered a few more survivors in the officer quarters, who were dispatched with ease. However when they made to open the door on the command post (after searching it), a hail of arrows were unleashed from a shaft in the ceiling against the squad. Two of the troops in the front were immediately struck by three arrows each, the skirmisher fell to the ground dead while a crusader fell to his knees in deep pain. One of the clerics stepped up to cast heal on him.

Ranmor get stuck by two arrows, dealing 20 damage (make 2 fortitude saves)
Graamos get stuck by three arrows, dealing 29 damage (make 3 fortitude saves)

At this time Cary sends up a message over the telecomm: "so, first four floors cleared, my teams are moving up to the upper floors, how's it going on your end?"

[Mr_Praetorian]

((Alright, for the sake of posterity, lets say I'm with Ranmor and Graamos))
"Blasted Archers!" yelled out Derovarr. "We need someone to scorch the room!"

[Laharl]

Ranmor responds "We found a trap outside the command room, arrows, most likely poisoned."

[Squall255]

Shit, I may be poisoned.

"AGGG!! FUCK that hurt!" hovers to the side, out of line of effect of anything inside the room. Probably to the right, and lands, leaning against the wall.

[Sajuuk]

TeleLink: "One of my crusaders is down, apparently dead, one crusader injured. A trap escaped our detection, seems to have some nasty poison on it." ((Ready to burn AP after knowing results of their rolls.))

[Zanaikin]

(Dave you're fine)
(Squall you take 4 con damage and is now poisoned [green bubbles over head])

The door is now open, at the cost of one of your skirmishers. Inside you see the room mostly destroyed, wooden furniture blasted into pieces and pieces of metal molten into contorted shapes. The stone floor, walls, and ceiling survived with minimum damage, only a lot of burn marks. There doesn't appear to be anyone in here.
