You mentioned a few characters that heard Bruno's mouths of madness. Does that mean the characters not listed don't hear the trouble?
Thanks.
That is correct.

And Kitchi can hear Bruno in assumed distress; at the moment he can't see him.

Alex 'Blade Rain' Vam; Human male Fighter


Alex hears the strange sounds coming from where Bruno went and he quickly readied his enchanted broadsword and dagger and moved towards the gnome while calling out; "Bruno; what's your situation?"

Siavel curses as his powerful vision fades but is glad that eating the eyeball didn't kill him. He runs to the commotion when he hears his name called, commanding the forgettable Surge to follow along with him as usual.

When he sees what is happening, he jumps on the back of his giant weasel and commands him to bring him across the deadly diorama room to the other doorway. He wants to see if touching the ground is what's causing the damage or if it is from simply being in the room.
Not sure if that is actually possible or not. If not, he will just run to the doorway and see if the others can make it out of the danger by themselves or not. He begins to prepare a spell in either case.

Grindhelm the Dwarf

Grindhelm is liking all this less and less, especially since everyone is moving apart from each other all the time. "Gnome, are you alright? How about we all stay together next time?" he calls out, hoping everyone hears him. He proceeds to rush towards the 'front' of the group in search of the gnome's voice, ready for action.

Calto, Druid

Suddenly alone and reluctant to cross back through the diorama room or proceed on ahead on his own, the druid takes a moment to reach out to his bat companion for any insights before deciding on his next course of action.

Tabai does not wish to go back into the diorama room and so stands where he is ready to fight should danger come into the safer space.

Azoth Al-Aziz, occultic priest:

If Azoth hears cries for help or a commotion, he will fly his carpet in their direction to investigate and offer aid.

If he doesn't hear cries for help, he will attempt to open the secret door before him, as Siavel's piercing vision revealed nothing directly behind it, nor traps within it.

What Lies Beyond - Round One

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh eyes and mouthes, eyes and mouths!" yells Bruno the gnome from within the small room north of the diorama hall.

Blade Rain reverses previous course and runs to the north door, where he witnesses what is transpiring within.

Kitchi the ranger, standing guard at the south doorway of the diorama hall, hears Bruno's cry and gives alarm, alerting others in the party. Siavel and his giant weasel Surge rush back to the south doorway into the diorama room, looking to see if Bruno is safely making it out of the north room beyond. Tabai the jungleman, Grindhelm the dwarf and Leomar the thief join him, standing at the doorway into the diorama room. Azoth the occultic priest hovers on his Meditation Rug of Corporeal Transcendence. They see Blade Rain at the north door, simply standing there doing nothing. There is no sign of Bruno coming out.

Azoth bids his carpet to move to the north doorway and flies about half the distance (see map.)

In the back of the group, Calto the druid hopes his animal companion can help . He calls upon his divine nature god to communicate with his bat. They squeak to each other, the bat saying: "We nest deeper in the rocks. I came to your call up from below."

Actions for Round 2!
- Bruno combat will be done by PM, since no one except Blade Rain can actually see it. At this point, the others can't hear the noise of the monster. No meta-gaming :)
- Though a good idea, Siavel isn't able to ride Surge.
- Azoth's rug moves 60' per round, so he's half way to the north door by end of round, per map.

Blade is strangely unresponsive to Kitchi's question. The fighter stands there just staring into the room.

Yelling a question doesn't take Kitchi's full round, should he like to do something else.

One turn per level of the meditating flyer.

Given the rest and sleep in the water weird room, did you use it twice already?

He got off it for one round, long enough to set foot in the diorama paradise. So I think this is his second use.
How many rounds has it been since then, please?

Yes upon entering the room and fast approaching him. No, he was too far away at that point, but did hear Kitchi's yell of alarm.

The party needs to declare actions.

Siavel tells Surge to wait at the door. He knows full well that something is wrong when he sees that Blade Rain is not responding to their calls.

He rushes into the room, trying to run straight ahead to the opposite wall before moving to investigate what is happening in the room. He tries to straddle the borders of the different areas in hopes to avoid the damage they cause.

He readies the components for his spell of energy missiles.
