OoC:OK...need to get this going again.
Terrick,Turlough,Elspeth and Denzenai neet the Dwarf Ghimlod near the outskirts of his Clan's territory. The Clan Valkorim Dwarf is dressed in greys and black, a massive Warhammer and Shield his primary armaments. A Short composite bow and several smaller blades round out his weaponry.
Ghimlod points to several small packs 'We need to travel light in this, so each pack has 2 days food, water, a few torches and tindertwigs. The section that we are going to scout is about a half mile down the Eastern tunnel. I don't expect that we will be meeting anything too dangerous, as this is an outpost and not a major stronghold for the dark Elves. Still, eyes sharp and blades ready, as me Granfather used to tell us on the Hunt.'
Ghimlod sets off down the path once he is sure that you are all ready.
The path is dusty and full of detritus: old bits of armor and weapons, the occassional skeleton of an indeterminate warrior, rats and large grey lizards (2 feet long or so).
After a brisk trot for the first ten minutes of the trip, Ghimlod signals a halt, moving against the wall and pointing ahead to you all.
Far off, perhaps 200 feet away, a dim light is visable. Voices carry down the passageway, though it is impossible to to determine who or what is making them at this distance. Your knowledge of the Drow (terrick in particular) reminds you that they hardly ever use light in their dwellings.
OoC:Map coming soon...

Trapmaster Turlough peers at the lights, waiting to see if Terrick or Ghimlod will say more about who the lights might belong to. If they don't know, Turlough says "Alright then, let's see what these good-fer-nuthin jackanapes're up to." The Master Scout heads closer, hiding and moving silently as he goes. [Turlough doesn't mind company on this scouting mission, but if no one else wants to go, he'll go alone. Elspeth is the only one who lacks stealth, right?]

terrick will move along with the trapmaster. making to sure to let "G-lod" , "Den", and "Els" know that he will signal them with his heated mirror if all is clear. of course, if anyone wants to come along, then that will be fine...
in a whisper,
" if it is hostile, then either i or the trapmaster will come back so we can plan something more to our liking"

Mohgrym comes gliding up behind Elspeth, hopefully not startling her. He notes that the others are all quietly waiting against the wall and seeing the dim light ahead he keeps quiet too. When Terrick informs the group that he and Turlough will scout our the terrain ahead, Mohgrym nods silently, glad to have them scouting ahead.

With Terrick and turlough in the front, with Denzenai and Ghimlod a close second rank, the group advances up closer to the light.
Terrick smells the definate scent of some base humanoid, probably the Hobgoblins that were mentioned, while Turlough can tell (from a ways out_ that the light is being given off from a constant unwavering source. Closer inspection reveals that, indeed, the room ahead is illuminated by a glowing orb, hanging from the ceiling like a chandelier, this giving off a dull blue-green light. The chamber ahead is an irregularly shaped one, with two tunnels leading off to the West and the north. there seems to be nothing in a defensive force, so perhaps this room isn't yet part of the Drow-Inhabited area...
Edit:Stupid Computer...Turlough is in space M-12.
