So what's the party order and which way are you going?

The order of the party sugested by Taurgouz looks alrigth, and if no one oposses, lest go North (As Bakooza said)

I agree with everyone, lets go north!

Action development:

You go north through a 10ft wide passage and reach a dead-end room. The only object of interest in this chamber is a statue at the far end. It resembles a sarcophagus standing upright, except that the head of the figure carved upon its lid looks distorted and seems to have tendrils instead of hair. A pair of batlike wings extends from its temples. Suddenly, its eyes open, revealing the glow of green flames, and the head flies forward to attack!

The party order is:
Taurgouz (front), Jesse, Saria, Melkorka, bakooza(back)

Battle begins! The initiative order is:
Taurgouz, Melkorka, the creature, Saria, Jesse, Bakooza.


Like before, state what your character will do throughout the forseeable future of the battle.

Well, I want to beat the snot of it until it dies. Only one opponent this time.

I will stay back and shoot at the creature with my crossbow until it dies, trying not to hit one of my partners. If the creature comes to atack me, i will cast Mage Armor over me (Magic Missile is not of much use now becouse i can launch only one).

Well, magic missile cannot miss the target, and will do at least 2 damage.

I'll get in its face so that if attempts to cast any spells, I can be there to hopefully interupt them.

Il stand back and shoot it with crossbow.

[Being that it is not a full bodied creature, with flesh and blood and what-not, that is a good idea for jessie. This is because he would not be able to get a backstab off on it.]
