Forge suggests Lucien sneak across the hallway to the lich's lair to the alcove on the other side. If we draw the lich up the stairs, he'll be ready to attack behind.

A short rest to allow Lucien to recover seems in order.

Assuming Lucien makes it up. . . "It would appear there is no way forward and no other reason to avoid our true foe . . . "

Forge leaps back towards the doorway. That should carry him back to safety. He will grab the rope holding Lucien to help pull him back as a standard.

Forge continues 25 feet after Lucien, weapons at the ready. "See how well you sing with FoeRender stuck in your bloody chest!"

I guess we're going sneak formation so Forge will hang 25 feet back from Lucien with the cleric and wizard while Buckthorn takes up the rear.

Forge tries again to kick in the door. "FOERENDER strikes naught but the flesh of my enemies!"

The lich would have been easier, Forge chuckles. Forge will test the strength of the door.

Forge will examine the door for traps and listen to determine if he recognizes the sounds coming from beyond the door. Also, to see if he can hear anything else.

Forge suggests he lead the way back to the pit. We should use the same strategy for crossing the pit we used last time. Lucien and I jump across with the rope. Ghen holds the other end and the mage and halfing cross the rope and then Ghen jumps across.

Although he clearly would like to dispel the shame of our last retreat by dismantling the lich, Forge will grudgingly agree to examine the hallway we shot the arrow down on the other side of the pit with the secret entrance. Perhaps another way out of the temple will be revealed.

The brooding dwarf seems unable to accept the shameful retreat and insists on returning to defeat the lich.

Forge stays on the path (although it hasn't helped so far!)

Forge will examine the room beyond the portal without stepping across. If he detects no danger, he'll step through.

How many fingers? After spending a few moments counting on his fingers, Forge approaches the portal and touches the stones in the order below, one sequences at a time. His axe is sheathed but he has his sheild ready. YBO BYO OYB OBY That should cover the remaining possible combinations...

Judging from what happened to the torch, Forge suggests concentrating on the other portal. Forge touches the keystone with his axe to see if anything happens.

"Watch your step friend. This hall is littered with pit traps." Forge directs Buckthorn to take the path we took, avoiding the unsprung traps.

Forge offers to guard Nar-heru as he tries to decipher the path.

Forge thanks nar heru for his help leaping out of danger. Do the wizards have any sense of what these portals are and if they are safe to enter?

Fork in the Road Left or right? Forge will go left unless he detects any danger.
