Sulannus frowns after the boy and shakes her head.

"Something's amiss. I realize humans don't adhere to the high standards of elves in war, but I've never read about them sending children to scout for them in ambushes before. Into caves full of monsters and...as far as they know...hobgoblins, no less."

"I say we get somewhere defensible and wait in the caves for at least an hour before we follow him. Whoever has planned the ambush may get tired of waiting and come in after us, but we'll be ready."

OOC: realistically, I think we would have given up the chase once he headed to the ghoul's labyrinth. Regardless...

He looks at the first proper door, emerging from the ghoul's lair into the hallway, and wonders if it is possible to somehow block the access, or perhaps jam the lock to prevent someone coming through.

The ghoul lair leads into the first catacomb room via a hole in the wall, which apparently was a long time ago repaired using some bricks. These bricks are still here, scattered around. (http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...s-Den/page35&p=6305468&viewfull=1#post6305468)

There used to be a door connecting this room to the corridor, but you have burst it open (http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...s-Den/page48&p=6356304&viewfull=1#post6356304)

OOC:

Just in case we didn't remember, you have destroyed the ghouls: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...s-Den/page38&p=6314721&viewfull=1#post6314721

Aeiyan muses, "If the people setting the ambush are from the stronghold -- and why wouldn't they be? -- then that could mean there are fewer guards within the stronghold than usual. We don't know whether the current occupants of the stronghold know about the trapdoor, or whatever it is, which is located above the ladder of spikes. If they do not, we might be able to climb the ladder of spikes, silently enter the stronghold, and make our defense there."

"Oooh, how devious! I love it!"
