Roillard, for his part, mumbles until a small being composed of blue flame appears before him. “Well then, let us greet these unwelcome guests.” Pointing a finger down the hallway, he indicates the path to the enemy, allowing all of you to precede him in march order.
The hallway terminates in a stair, which leads up to what appears to be a vast cavern. The ring of metal and the crack of bone filter down the shaft of the stairwell even as the party climbs to the next floor. You arrive just in time to see a formation of kobolds in chain shirts crush the last of a small group of longsword-wielding skeletons. Standing between them and the stairwell, still tramping on the bones of recently destroyed undead, a monstrous scorpion looks about for prey. It is perhaps fifty feet long, its stinger towering above the conflict, and its exoskeleton looks as tough as plate armor. The kobolds are no more than ninety feet from the stairwell, while the scorpion is perhaps thirty feet away. A tactician might suspect that it had been deliberately placed there.
Loriel –
[sblock]You proceed ethereally across the cavern, following the sounds of battle, and arrive just as the rest of the party does. You find yourself on the opposite side of the field from the stairwell. You encounter no particularly obvious signs of magic on the way, save for some burn marks.[/sblock]
