[sorry about the delays, but my cable modem croaked- sorry to hear about Novyet, I guess we'll drop him then]

Melvos charges after the lady, over the low barricade. Following him is Bruk and Valjean. Hugging the walls and trying to be inconspicuous are the two drow. Lagging behind and watching the rear are Allistaire and Lorelin.

As Melvos clears the barricade, a number of arrows fly from the shadows at him, and the two following closely behind him. You are in an ambush. The half elf maiden turns around and begins to mock you "You fools, you fell for the oldest trick in the book!".

[I have some module modifications to do, so I will announce surprise round results tommorow, please announce you actions]

Valjean grimaces while shooting at the half-elf maiden and trying to spot the foes. When I was a thief I would never have walked into something like that. Wise up, Valjean.
 

[since I haven't heard about Zig, he will remain back in the previous room covering the rear]

Four arrows fly from dark areas of this natural passage. Melvos, in the lead, is struck by an arrow, which hits a tender spot, doing some significant damage. However the pain of the arrow feels like nothing compared to the mockery of a fair lady [since you haven't taken the superpowers off the character yet, I figured I'd exploit the weakness while it's still there, the super con bonus is negated]

Bruk is the target is two arrows, but one glances off his tough hide. Yet the other finds a weak spot and causes serious pain.

Valjean, at th last moment sees an arrow streaking for him, and deflects it with his shield (or maybe it just happened to hit his shield, Valjean swears that the former is correct)

The pack of dire rats was waiting on the other side of the barrier, and swarms over those who have crossed it attacking Melvos, Bruk and Valjean. Melvos and Valjean are bit twice, and Bruk is bit once.

The area you have entered is a 20' wide passage which leads to some stairs to the west. Some cracks in the wall lead to the north and south. It is about 40 to the stairs.

The effects of the arcane troll blood are seen as the wounds on Bruk begin to close up (Fast Healing 1). The orc takes a mighty swing with his axe at the dire rats.
 

Firing a bow in this mess is bound to be a bad idea. Time to go back to Razor's Edge. Valjean draws his longsword and attacks a dire rat.

Alistaire continues to watch the other tunnels and the rear.
 

"I hear you, lady. Hope you can hear me."
Lorelin lets loose a blast once again, aiming for lady not-so-much-in-distress. He positions his shield so it is between him and as much opposition as possible.
