Ok, I re-did the map for both orientation and so that the players know where their PCs are. It was a little too late at night to do that last night. So in this orientation, Vex moved to M9 and the open door is at L3/4.

"If it does, I'll distract it while you take down that guy!" tells Malehan who heads toward Ladoran.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Move: Walk to K5->M7->M10[/SBLOCK]
 


I'll move to a location to offer assistance to either of you if needed. The cleric runs to a similar path as Vex, but not as far.

[sblock=actions]
double move to f11. If that action is not allowed than Knoepf will run to g6
[/sblock]
 


OOC: Ok, I NPCed Acre and Garrick for the surprise round (and Malehan one square back due to lack of movement).


[sblock=Initiative]
Initiatives for Acre 15, Garrick 15, Knoepf 22, Malehan 9, Vex 11, and NPCs 20.

Knoepf 50/50
NPCs
Acre 56/56
Garrick 57/57
Vex 61/61
Malehan 60/62

Ok, Knoepf gets to go. Then the NPCs. Then everyone. Surprise round is over. It's a normal round for Knoepf.

The "stairs up" in the corners, at the statue in the middle, and at the far end are difficult terrain. Everything else is normal terrain. The pillar squares holding up the ceiling are a squeeze, but creatures can diagonally move past them with no difficult.

Note: there is a set of double doors at the south central part of the map which might be not easy to notice right away.

"Hmmm. After Sloane told me that you had survived dwarf, I realized that you would try to stop me. Pity. You and your friends looked like such a lively bunch and I did enjoy my conversation with you. Well, as you can see, I'm prepared for this possibility." Ladoran says as he pulls on something behind the altar. A portcullis falls down behind the PCs over the entrance way with a loud metallic crash.

Ladoran heads toward the party, much faster than they would expect. Lightning flys out of his hand and engulfs Vex. A small spark flies from Vex and burns Malehan.


Bright flashes of light appear in several of the alcoves to the north and south. Four more Eladrin appear. Like the two in the other room, they too are wearing chainmail, but instead of bows, they have longswords in their hands. They move forward and attack. The first one slashes Knoepf across the chest, the second stabs Garrick in the stomach, the third smashes Vex on her helmet, but the last misses Vex.


Along with the Eladrin, a fairly attractive human woman in a stylish diaphanous light green colored gown comes out of one of the alcoves and glides up next to Malehan and Vex. She appears to be in her mid-thirties or so.

"Well, look who it is. It's little Knoepfy with a new set of friends. Hi Knoepf baby doll. Did you miss me?" Sloane asks blowing Knoepf a kiss. "We're going to have a wild time bumping uglies tonight baby. I just can't wait." she laughs in a throaty voice. She then notices Knoepf's boots "And you're wearing my boots. Bad Knoepfy. Mama's gonna have to spank." she says, her eyes gleaming in anticipation.

"But first, let's get a kiss from you handsome." she says as she grabs Malehan around the neck, pulls him to her, and kisses him roughly on the mouth, the very life and knowledge draining out of him. "Vex, Acre, Garrick, Malehan, and dear Knoepf." she murmurs as she lets go of an ashen Malehan.

As she kisses Malehan, a ghastly transformation comes over Sloane. She no longer looks like an attractive woman in nice clothes, instead she looks like a ghastly undead creature in tattered old clothing. As an astonished Malehan looks on, she partially fades from existance.


"Help me! They're mad." the naked woman on the altar shouts as she struggles against her bonds.

[sblock=OOC]

Ladoran
Eladrin 1
Eladrin 2
Eladrin 3
Eladrin 4
Sloane, Insubstantial
Knoepf 41/50, Marked by Eladrin 1
Acre 56/56
Garrick 42/57, Marked by Eladrin 2
Vex 31/61, Marked by Eladrin 3
Malehan 43/62

It's the PC's turn.

Note: Knoepf has told the group about both Ladoran and Sloane. Both are extremely formidable foes. He is a Sorcerer and she is some type of undead and the team recognizes them both from Knoepf's earlier descriptions. Sloane was once claimed to Knoepf's earlier team that Vampires fear her.


The two walls to either side of the entrance way go up 15 feet, so someone could climb either the wall or the portcullis and still get out.

The "stairs up" in the corners, at the statue in the middle, and at the far end are difficult terrain. Everything else is normal terrain. The pillar squares holding up the ceiling are a squeeze, but creatures can diagonally move past them with no difficult.

Note: there is a set of double doors at the south central part of the map which might be not easy to notice right away.
