We backtracked a few corners and cast silence on the arrow of the cleric and crept back up to the edge of the corridor. I had my magic missile wand ready and the wizard had a magic missile ready for the rat. The cleric shot and dropped the guard out of the chair. We weren't sure if the guard died or was just knocked out of the chair. So I used the wand and they didn't connect with the body because it was already dead. Then the wizard pumped the rat and it dropped too. A perfect ambush and little was expended. Ryu the ranger then crept up to hall and set off a trap, so I took the lead.

Four steps up and a burning hands trap goes off......... Manure Ocureth...... Who uses fire traps in their lair. Don't you evil people know that you could set things on fire.
