Thugan determines that the door is untrapped, and seems to have benen locked quicky, as there is a it of bent mechanism in the interior. the lock looks to be of human design, nothing fancy, though sturdy.
Unlocking the door easily, Thurgan opens the door and stands back, with Thale, Troi and the others at the ready.
A pungeant (unknown) smell wafts out of the dark room, as if some beast were withing.
Suddenly, a leaping form the size of a pony hurls out, a great Wolf-like beast, launching for Velbrik (the only one that it can see).
Thale swings, missing, as does Troi's lash. Thurgan stabs the beast in the side <AofOp 11 HP including Sneak>, and Felix also gets in a kick <2HP>.
The Worg bites savagely at the Bard <hit, 10HP,ugh>, as well as knocing him prone <Trip>.
Velbrik 18
Thale 17
Troi 16
Felix 14
Thurgan 9
the Worg is within striking distance of you all, so I am going to just move through this a bit.
Velbrik stabs at the beast , missing it.
Thale hacks as well,though his blow fails to connect.
Troi, seeing that his whip would do less help than his blade, with Velbrik underneath, stabs deeply into the Worg's flank <Crit, 12 HP>.
Felix also scores a hit <3HP>
Thurgan swings a savage blow at the shoulders of the Worg <12HP>, the beast falling dead upon poor Velbrik.
Thale and Thurgan quickly pull it off, seeing the wounded (though slightly comical) sight of velbrik's fine clothes covered in pungeant Worg-Blood. One could have better days...
