[QUOTE="Morte, post: 677472, member: 9413"] [b]Session 3, part1[/b] Inside the cave mouth, a tunnel twisted and sloped downwards. Again, the stone was freshly cut and unweathered. Merlinda spotted what looked like claw marks in the stone. Whatever came through here had [I]big[/I] claws. Mabel came back from scouting. “At the end of the tunnel, there’s a doorway opening up into a bigger cave. It’s part flooded, with a causeway through the water. To the south there is a cave with what appears to be an umber hulk.” “Hope he doesn't smell yeuchy” said Lafajet. Padreic ignored him. “Tuneller with big claws...makes sense.” Griseld had her priorities sorted. “OK, we gonna kill it?” “I hope so, otherwise it kills us” said Merlinda. “I will try a sound blast on it. Let me cast the spell and try to stun it” said Mabel, ever practical and on the ball. “OK, den we charge?” said Griseld, ever Griseld. They moved into the cave, and Mabel fired her Soundburst at extreme range. She fired another for good measure as Griseld charged and Lafajet shouted “EEEEEK!”. Padreic was still trying to clamber past the group of adventurers who’d spontaneously decided to stand still and block the doorway in front of him when Griseld killed the stunned and weakened umber hulk with two mighty blows of her greatsword. The creature’s den was empty. Mabel started to explore along the causeway, spying a doorway into a cave at the other end. She saw a troll wander past the doorway inside the cave and came back to tell the others. “You wanna shoot him and lure him?” asked Gris. “There may be more, we should try to lure them across the bridge” said Mabel.
