Pok moves to Sheeva, holding his hand out, but not making eye contact May I escort you to the next room? his hand trembled slightly, a sure sign the gnome was scared. After asking the question of Sheeva, and with her answer still forthcoming, compounded with their current situation; it was hard to tell what exactly the gnome was afraid of.
 

"Yes you may Pok!" Sheeva responds as she takes Pok hand and waits for Feall to give the all clear. "Don't worry. I've got a lot more lightning left over for these cultists. I find this secret passage intriguing. It's hidden behind two secret doors which seems to imply that nobody uses it too often. This may lead to a treasure vault, or some other secret of the cultists."
 

River leave a moment for Feall to scout ahead and then turn towards Rumbum. "You go first, I'll be just behind you. Then, Pok and Sheeva will follow."

You move up the stairs, a difficult task given their "giant" sized dimensions. You stop short on the 2nd (of 4) steps though. You hear the scrape of metal being drawn and a skittering of loose stones above and to the right of the room.

ooc - also, if you head further you'll be in full light and lose the cover (and stealth)

Bright red splays Pok's face, as he blushes deeply, Ah, I'm not scared of them, the dark is a safe place. the gnome glances the secret passage again, We may escape the common cultists yet, but the upper echelon of the sect would likely know and travel this way. Always a backdoor, always. Even if it's one way. Pok throws his wand hand over his shoulder, indicating the now-slammed-shut hidden entrance.

Pok's outward demeanor was all business, but in his head, it was something like*I'M HOLDING HER HAND! I'M HOLDING HER HAND! I'M HOLDING HER HAND! Ok...*

Pok takes a slow breath, as he lowers his wand hand, realizing it'd been up for no small amount of time. *Oh no! My hands are sweating cause I'm nervous, um...* The wizard begins idle swirling his wand, the spell is subtle but effective, and his Sheeva-holding hand dries. *Say something... Something smart... Uh... What would Roswyn say? Oh!* Pok starts to speak, but only a whisper comes. He coughs once, and clears his throat, How is it that you channel electrical energy so well?
 

"Shhhh. Feall is giving the signal." Sheeva whispers. "We'll talk about this later." she whispers as she drops Pok hand and pulls out her second dagger, all business now that danger threatens.
 


Feall waits for the others to get close enough to see him, then signals them that he's heard something ahead.

He then crouches low and cautiously pokes his head past the corner, hoping to get a glimpse of what's waiting for them.

At the top of the stairs (one on each side), crouched behind a half-wall (granting superior cover) are a pair of dwarves, armed with waraxes, heavy shields and full plate. They look ready for action, especially as Rumbum clangs up the stairs behind you.

ooc - You have a surprise action, then we'll roll into initiatives as Rumbum runs up the stairs.
