Once at the bottom, Tiko draws her rapier and follows Suzume.

Anundr moves forward quietly, his face grim, his weapon ready.

Janiven

As the group begins to move left at the first intersection as the sword indicates, Janiven pauses about 100 feet after the turn. She bends down and pushes aside a rock to reveal a small hollow in the wall and she sighs in relief, "Good. They're still hear." She begins to pull out a small stash of potions. Once she has them all, she stands and looks at the group behind her. "These are healing potions that we are likely to need. We won't have time to stop and rest as long as the Hellknights are after us." She splits the potions among the group.


[sblock=For the group] There are enough cure light wounds potions that each PC gets 3.
[/sblock]

As soon as she gets them split up, you all hear noises from the tavern. Janiven stops for a second to listen and then says, "They might take a few minutes to search the tavern, but some are going to follow us down here after they grab a lantern or make some torches. They might even try and infiltrate the sewers ahead of us if they can guess our route. We need to keep moving as quickly as possible to put some distance between us and them."

Suzume slips the potions into a pouch. "Let us be moving then. Does anyway know anything about setting traps. If they found one early on it might make them pursue us more cautiously and slowly."

Thanking Janiven for the potions, Tiko asks, "So where are we going? And if we have to fight, what is our goal? Simply to escape or to kill?"

Drulox ("Dru") Xorik, Human, Order of the Dragon Cavalier

"Many thanks for the potions, Lady, I only hope that we are so successful that we may in time return them all to you unused." Dru is clearly ready to 'mix-it-up' with some hellknights!

Liath takes up the potions, then continues her careful scouting; she stays about 30' ahead of the rest of the party, moving quietly and keeping her senses peeled.

Anundr offers a nod of thanks for the potions, and then moves to follow Liath. He keeps a close eye out for danger, and holds his blade at the ready as he moves.
