Torvin ambles onwards, oblivious to the caution of his comrades, unless he bumps into Harl's back.

"Torvin, if something throws rocks on us from up there <Harl points to the ridgeline> then either run with us or get something flying up there to harry 'em. If the thief has henchmen who jump out at as from behind boulders <Harl points out several to Torvin> then stay back and summon a nasty bug or something. Inside keep your eye out for stone traps and crypt guardians, but stay behind me."

Harl draws his sword.

"I hope the thief is behind the boulders and tries something. Let's go."

<if the track gets too rough and Harl needs his hands he sheathes his sword and will rely upon his gauntleted fist if jumped. Harl keeps his ears perked for odd sounds such as the lack of nature sounds due to hidden ambushers.>

You are able to make your way towards the other end of the valley without much trouble via the game trail. As you approach the end, you clearly now see the fissure on the ledge 40' above the valley floor. It may take some climbing, but you shouldn't have much trouble finding good hand-holds.

[see attached map]

Party designations are as follows:
HG = Harl - starts in grid D16
TS = Torvin - starts in grid C17
AS = Ashcroft - starts in grid B16
LS = Lydia - starts in grid B17
SQ = Soleril - starts in grid A16

Ashcroft draws his cold Iron Scimitar and proceeds to walk through the overgrown brush towards the cliffs (Being a druid can be fun!)

(moves from 16b to 12b)

Lydia shakes her head at her companions' paranoia as she strides forward along the path. "Surely there's nothing to fear here," she announces as she contradicts her own words, meandering off the trail to use a boulder as cover.

(Moves to E13)

Looking to the others making their way through the brush, Solaril deceides to keep to the trail, as it would be easier to manuver and take cover if needed (also easier to fight from...difficult to fight in 3' tall brush...) moves to a16 to E 15 along the trail.

Harl walks in the lead down the trail along line 15 then diagonal to line 12 until they get to where they have to climb.

Surprise round

As the party moves forward, a cry sounds from the other end of the valley, and two arrows thud into the dirt in front of Harl. Suddenly, Harl sees some movement directly in front of him as two slitherin leap up from crouching behind some boulders and shoot! (S1 & S3)

At the same moment, Soleril sees a ratman jump up from behind a boulder to the left of the party, as it aims and shoots. (S2)

[Note: it becomes obvious right away that the two arrows that landed in front of Harl were fired from farther away.]

As one of the arrows flies past Harl's head, missing by inches, Torvin gets nicked on the left shoulder as an arrow flies towards him. (2 HP damage).

The ratman that Soleril saw fires, but the arrow bounces off the boulder he ducks behind.

[see map for current positions as round 1 starts]

Torvin is snapped out of his revery by the sting of the arrow. He darts behind the boulder on his right, hastily snapping out the words and gestures that will summon an air bloodhawk to aid him.

Ashcroft smiles revealing a gold capped tooth. "I knew you were there somewhere." He says some words in an ancient tongue and the plants spring to life attempting to entangle the creatures attacking them.

(ooc: cast Entangle centered on n15 to capture the creatures in a 40' radius spread.)

Taking notice of where the ratman was, Solaril quickly moves towards the area while taking cover behind a boulder. (moving to f11)
