Strahd's "RttToEE"

looking at the caged victim Miltades says in a low voice, "and let the worms eat their souls, if they have any."

You leave the chamber and your fallen comrade and head to the north. Ahead of you Korb sees another opening and a little flying creature. This is a Mephit, could be another one or the same one that escaped earlier. As before, the flying thing shrieks in terror and fly away before you have a chance to do anything. He vanishes in the darkness to the north.
You arrive to the chamber where the creature was a moment ago. This small cave’s worked stone walls show clear signs of iron ore in great quantities. The floor is uneven and covered with scree.
To the north the passage continues and low chants can be heard.

***************************************************
At the Earth temple

Solitaire spots from her cage another flying Mephit storming to the chamber, another one comes from another passage to the south. The Trog that stands on the altar calls out to his fellows, clearly something is happening as they begin to lower their hoods and prepare their weapons for a fight. The priest himself cleans the blade that a moments before butchered the ranger as he turns his look to YOU.

OOC – I updated the treasure post in the RG.

Korbryn chases after the fleeing mephit, ready to cleave its body in two.

Solitaire

Let's hope, that they are not just extremely careful...

OOC: I suppose, I cannot really do anything...

Korbryn chases after an unseen opponant

"uh oh, that has to mean trouble" Miltiades draws his spear [as part of a move ] and races after him. he runs to catch up and pace the dwarvin warrior at 5 feet behind him.

Lenuran checks to make sure that his crossbow is loaded before following the others.

{{ Never going to catch that thing before it warns whoever is chanting. I hope Korbryn's axe is still sharp. }} The gnome thinks as he hustles up from behind.

Chanting in words that a human mouth would be hard pressed to produce greets your ears. This cave smells of loam and blood. A three tiered ziggurat rises 15 feet above the floor, which is of soft earth. Black cloaked figures surround this edifice, at the top of which is a triangular platform the color of watery mud. Another cloaked figure stands atop the altar clutching a bloody knife in one hand and what appears to be a heart in the other. Smears on the ground that goes out of the cave seems to tell the fate of someone that was on the altar, probably moments ago.
There is a cage behind the altar, where you can spot a human figure, probably a prisoner that waits for a horrible fate. Another figure beats on a drum, and as it does, something rises up through the floor, passing through the soft earth as if it did not exist. The walls are covered with tapestries of dark brown and black images of demons and other hideous creatures.
Seven Troglodytes and three mephits are in the room. From the soft earth rise a hideous creature that resembles nothing you encountered before. It is completely alien to you.

****************************************

OOC – This place is evil – Good aligned characters suffer from -4 penalty on turn attempts. Good character will roll a Will save vs. DC: 17 each round they are here or be affected by a cause fear spell.
Roll inits!

Thanee - drop half of your spells, you choose as we'll assume that you used them before being caught by the Trogs. Your equipment lies beside the cage, beyond your reach. Your companions's equipment was removed by the DM Trogs to somewhere you will never find ever.

Map legend:
Trog are labled from S and 1-6. small circles are the mephits and the olive circle is the alien creature.

OOC:

Not much to decide there, just half of the available slots... Sorcerer. Done.

Can I use spell-like/supernatural abilities, and spells that do not require materials?

OOC:
Dewar - Miltiades do not need to flee like someone who is chased by a horde of Oliphants. When you pass the 40' radius - the passageways you gather your thought again but still, the sight of the place frights you.

Thanne - yes.
