The eye returns playing a sensory memo of nothing. The hall is still and empty. There are no creatures present in it.

"Seems there is nothing there.... Either my attack did better than expected, or they ran afterwards, afraid to face us. Either way the path should be clear now.. let us proceed forward cautiously... I'm not sure I like this."
Leaving one of his eyes at the corridor entrance (Where we came in) he orders the rest to follow, spread out across the ceiling, at least 60 feet back. And there is still one in the other corridor watching and waiting.
(Assuming no one objects, we begin moving forward down the hallway james.)

The flames behind you in the corridor extinguish as the entire party moves down Path A. As the party advances the flames restore behind you but only so far as the path and not back into the corridor from whence you came.
As the flames extend outward the hallway appears still as the darkness that pervades it. When the party has advanced to about 100 feet down the hallway, Braska's eyes behind him start to vanish rapidly. However, when you turn to look you cannot see what might have dealt a fatal blow to them (Spot Check DC 60) although you thought you may have seen something...
[Those who make the check] A black smokey arm lanced out of the ceiling itself and swiped tenebrous claws across the eye, destroying it and proceeding to the next. Clearly something is using incorporeal powers to travel around and it may have been a shadow demon that survived the blast as the arm seemed to fit the description. [/]

I move to put myself between the perceived threat (although I failed the spot) and my charge (Braska). "Did anyone see what that was?"

Zomiel shook his head. "No... Did you see something Jecht?" Since the guardian was taking the rear, the blade master figured it'd be best if he took point in case anything came from that side. His hands still held his drawn adamantine swords. Flames crackled off the blades.

-wonders how everyone suddenly noticed that his eyes, which are following 60 ft behind the party, suddenly began disappearing when the party probably cant even make the spot check to see the eyes in the first place.....-
[If they made the spot check that I mentioned above they notice the arm and therefore notice the eyes]
Braska continues forward, giving no indication that his eyes are being destroyed behind him, preferring to let the entity think that it is doing its damage without being discovered. "Eyes forward people, I'm sure my eyes will let me know if anything happens behind us, lets keep our eyes out for any signs of surviving creatures up ahead. Jecht, if you would please be so kind as to resume frontline duty, I'll be right behind you, with Warshade next to me (Assuming these are 10 ft hallways), and Zomiel, please take the rear, since you are better at chucking those things anyway. Thanks." With that he continues walking forward.

"Alright. I suppose that's a good idea, then." Jecht takes the front again, eyes forward (but cautious).
[ooc] the "although you thought you may have seen something..." was outside of the "[Those who make the check]" which would mean that it applies to those of us that didn't make the check."[/ooc]

My apologies for the confusion... Anyways...
The eyes behind you continue to vanish one by one Braska. If you take any actions in response, please post that you do so.
For the rest of you (including Braska), you feel a chill aura of ominous intent... something is nearby... something powerful.

Thinking for just a moment, he decides to let whatever it is that is destroying his eyes continue destroying them. On a whim he calls back to one of the remaining eyes and has it speed forward and land in his hand, downloading what it has seen (of whatever has been destroying them) into him so he knows what they might be dealing with, all of this while continuing forward. "Lets be on our guard folks.. I'm getting a bad feeling around here...Not to mention my magical eyes getting destroyed...No, don't look...better that they don't know we know if they don't already..and the eyes are expendable."

As the group advances, suddenly an incredibly loud rumble can be heard and something massive flies up through the floor and ceiling. You can make out nothing but a black mass as it quickly passes through the corridor. The flames snuff out all at once leaving the corridor featureless black... however the corridor begins to shift as 10x10 foot blocks of black stone begin to rearrange themselves and move out of the way. Where you were once in a corridor you now find yourselves in a seemingly unending vast black plateau of stone. You feel a presence and look up and there looms a truly gigantic creature that looks like little more than a gaunt, angular, shadowy humanoid... except that it is nearly 40 feet tall and possesses four arms as well as three maws stacked atop eachother. Braska realizes that were it not for the strange additional limbs it would look similar to a Shadow Demon although greatly augmented. It floats silently despite its immense size and seems to be capable of some speed based on having seen it fly through the floor you're also sure it's incorporeal. It looms as a black smokey terror against the daylight emitted from Braska. The creature's eyes open and glare down at you, pinpoints of a cruel blue light that immediately fade from sight as the creature seemingly closes them, however a third vertical eye opens that is of a sickening purple color the eye gazes down at Braska, source of the hated light and Braska needs to make a Will Save. (Also, Knowledge Planes + Bardic/Lore/Etc. Knowledge, add the results together for one total) As the creature glares angrily, it's four arms flare out and its head leans forward to scream its challenge! Initiative rolls!

With a shake of his head, and a mental hardening of his wits, he forces off the strange effect and smirks at the creature's one purple eye, mentally daring it to try again. "My Daylight you bastard of a thing." Quickly he takes note of a few things about it, trying to discern what exactly it is, and then makes himself ready for combat, preparing to start the proverbial spell slinging.
Will save=16+25=41
Knowledge Planes: 8+40=48 Lore:13+28=41 Combined=89
Init: 17+4+5(nerveSkitter)=26
Note that Italics means hes thinking it not saying it out loud.

"Well bloody hell... It just never ends. Oh well, bring it on, fucker!!" The blade master was grinning. Dispite his remarks, he actually wanted to fight something a little more challenging. The gollems earlier were too weak for his taste.
init = 15+13 = 28 Knowledge = about as much as Zomiel ever knows - jack squat
