"Ah...perhaps we shouldn't trail quite so far behind, Catherine. We might be too late, next time."

Darrick sighs, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "It's never easy, is it? "Kaelan's plan seems sound to me; at the very least, a halfling should have a difficult time hitting my poor arm! And if we can pinpoint the location of our foes, we can prepare before we attack."

"Save one for me," Darrick bellows as he lumbers down the hall.... Double move to J8, while silently asking himself if Steadfast could have navigated these corridors....

"And so it begins," Darrick says, with a rueful chuckle, as he advances towards the foe. Sorry for the silence -- it's been a distracting couple of days.... From the sound of things, Darrick won't be acting this turn due to surprise. But just in case I'm wrong in this assumption, and to...

Darrick paces back and forth, never straying far from the entrance. His sword is sheathed, but his hand twitches for the hilt every time Darrick hears a noise. "I don't like this," he says quietly, more to himself than to his companions. "Feels like we're waiting for a storm to strike."

Quirking an eyebrow, Darrick switches to Elven to speak to Catherine.... "Let's keep them confused, eh? Certainly can't hurt." He sighs, his smile fading, and continues, "But we have a problem, clearly. We're in a terrible position to assault this place, but if they have prisoners? I think...

"It makes tactical sense," he replies sotto voce, "As well as moral. We need to learn as much as we can. But it's an untenable position -- we need to obtain the item we were sent for, before the other bandits uncover it. But what do we do with the prisoners? If we leave them here, it will...

"It's really quite inspirational," Olaf observes, moving into place. "So many different creatures, living together in...well, not harmony, precisely, but a sort of fellowship nevertheless. Shame, really, that we're going to have to put such a bloody end to it." Move to U21, ready an action...

Snarling with rage, Darrick lashes out at his foe, putting all of his strength into the swing.... 3 point power attack on Bandit3, for a 24 to hit and 12 damage. That was a natural 19, and an attempt to confirm the hit gives me a 14, and 7 more damage if that's a hit. Which I'm betting it's...

"Away from him, you bastard," Darrick barks, turning to attack Trebuchet's assailant.... Slash at Bandit 1, with a 14 to hit, 8 damage. Darrick does *not* get a flanking bonus, even if Treb moves before he does. It's a matter of honor, y'see. Continuing to Shield Block Bandit3, so AC 25 vs...

Stepping nimbly around Trebuchet, Darrick darts forward and strikes at the closet foe, his blade flashing in the sunlight.... Intiative: 23 Move to K4, attack Bandit3 with a 2 point power attack. 11 to hit, with 6 damage in the very unlikely event that this attack was effective. AC is 25...

"An interesting question indeed," Olaf agrees cheerfully, as he enters the room. "How you fine fellows have remained unmolested, I mean. Surely, you'll be happy to enlighten us, yes?"

Darrick grabs his fallen foe, and drags him unceremoniously off to one side. "Have to remember to bring manacles next time," he comments, as he retrieves his shield and helmet, "Just in case." He pauses for a second, giving the entrance a look. "I can think of worse places to make a stand,"...

"You're not worth the edge of my blade," Darrick says coldly, as he advances upon his foe. "You're barely worthy of my time at all, frankly." 5' step forward towards Bandit 1 and attempts to subdue him. 23 to hit, 9 points of non-lethal damage. Current AC is 20; he would have had to put his...

"I think that you're very stupid indeed," Darrick snarls, pushing himself smoothly to his feet, "And a pair of cowards besides." 23 for Initiative, move action to stand up and sneer. Swift action to issue a Knight's Challenge to Bandit 9, hoping to keep his attention.

"Willing to try, at least. Not much of an actor, mind.... The rest of you hide, then, as best you're able." Waiting until the others have concealed themselves, he removes his helmet and puts it off to one side, behind some rubble. He drops to one knee, pulling his cloak over himself, and...

Darrick shrugs, offering a faint smile. "The sound of wounded bandits, perhaps? Limping home after being mauled by," he winces, flexing his arm, "Terrible lizards?"

"Excellent," Darrick hisses fiercely. "If we take cover to either side of the entrance, one of us can make some noise to draw them out...and then we can cut off their retreat. I'd like to have words with these fellows."

Is there anything terrain that could be used for concealment here? Off to either side, perhaps?

Raising an eyebrow at Sepoto gestures, Darrick nods and silently draws his sword. He inclines his head, and gestures vaguely with his blade, towards the source of the noise to indicate his readiness for whatever happens next....
