Adventure: The stolen staff (DM: Someone. Judge: Luinnar)
Someone
Adventurer
Being most of you lightly armored, you move through the forest in silence, and nothing disturbs your brief march twards the slope and the smelly pit. There's one brief glimpse of danger: one of the arrow slits in the tower briefly shines with torchfire. Perhaps a sentinel visited that room briefly, or the light came form another room - in any case, you're certain now the stronghold is inhabited.
It takes little time to reach the pit. It's deep, dark and stinks but the pale roots that dangle from the walls make it easy to climb down. At first looks like your guide was wrong - it's just a garbage deposit, but then you find the exit, buried behind the refuse.
It leads to a very dark passage, roughly circular in section. The disgusting smell, fall from dissipating, tends to become even worse. As Vyrna quietly advances through the tunnels, he reaches a point where the filth forms deep and nauseating pools. This doesn't worry her as much as the fact that the tunnels split and she doesn't know where to go.

Vyrna slowly walks south-west and north-east along the edge of the four forks in their path to get a better idea as to which direction each path leads and to determine if there are any traps or other wicked things in wait for them in this area or down one of the paths. After scoping that out, if nothing is plainly obvious about which path to take, or if there are no obvious traps or dangers, she waits for the rest of the group to appear.

! Let's see what the DM has to say about the lighting.

Vyra advances cautiously to her left, checking the nearest intersection as Lily conjures light on the cave's ceiling.
It may not have been such a good idea. Something is disturbed - ahead lies a pile of garbage and decomposed matter much larger than what you've encountered so far. It splits in two to reveal a really ugly creature, something that could be described as a warty potato on four stumpy legs, with three tentacles that sprout from it's back. A very large mouth, as big as half it's body and filled with yellow teeth, opens as the creature steps ahead, perhaps smelling your presence.
Another such beast appears from other passage. Those of you that don't instinctively hide scramble for your weapons.
[sblock=details]
Monsters go at Initiative 8. Roll initiative; if you roll higher than that, you can act first. Then the otyughs go, then the whole group.
Vyrna can use stealth to be hidden in the first round, and Lily has her racial. You need to beat a passive perception score of 18 to not be discovered - though remember you are only hidden from creatures from which you don't have cover.
I'l appreciate if you can be as detailed as you can in your posts. Anything you can do to same me time and visits to your character sheets in the wiki will be welcomed.[/sblock]

"Oh, I see something over there!" Eva shouts in alarm. She steps forward and points her quarterstaff at the closer otyugh. "Stay back - I mean it!"
Though the party doesn't see anything happen, Eva conjures an attack wave of terrifying apparitions next to the beast. It either doesn't see them, or it just doesn't care.

"What was that grunting? ...oh!" says Lilli, as she walks around the corner. She hastily repositions her magical light source near the junction, suspecting that the denzien doesn't need light to see and immediately tries to test the creature's senses with her magic, but Lilli's so startled by the creature's abhorrent appearance at the edge of her Light that she fluffs her next spell.
