One a rather nasty shot took him in the neck. The other just grazed him. The fighter nearly fell from his saddle. Thane noticed 2 arrow slits, a little higher than Erik was on horseback, on the far wall. Before the next series of arrows could be launched he spurred forward and pulled Erik and horse to some cover. Thane shouted out the location of the arrow slits.Bartol fired an arrow at one of the slits. He couldn’t see the other one. His arrow struck the edge of the slit, but didn’t enter. Bernedette dismounted and ducked behind the barbarian. The hobgoblins, or at least what the party could see and guess of their attackers, fired another volley. One arrow struck Bartol. The other went errant near Thane. Although with the cover, the archer wasn’t very likely to hit Thane or Erik. Erik took a potion from Thane’s pack and drank it.Thane tended Erik’s wounds and added some healing magic to help. Bartol fired again striking just to the side of the slit. He quickly moved around the corner to see if he could see the other archer. Bernedette now felt exposed. She moved toward Thane and Erik. She fired a bolt from her crossbow. It struck the wall. Both archers fired at Bernedette. She took an arrow in the side. The other arrow passed thru her clothes but didn’t draw blood. Unfortunately for Bartol he ran into the range of 2 more archers. Both were lousy shots. Erik reached into Thane’s pouches and grabbed a flask of oil.Thane summoned more magic. This spell caused a fog to quickly obscure all things around the druid. The only visible party member was Bartol. He fired another arrow at the newly revealed archers. Lucky for them they had cover. Bartol worried that all his best shots would still never penetrate. So he fled back into the mist. Bernedette moved closer to the wall and half scurried/ half crouched her way further into the clan hold. She eventually left the mist. But she didn’t expose herself to any of the arrow slits. Amy leapt off her shoulders and scouted ahead. The original two archers blindly fired into the mist. Erik felt his way around and tried to light his flask. He moved closer to the wall to try and located the slit.Thane pulled and flask out also and lit it. He too felt for the arrow slit. Bartol charged out of the mist and past Bernedette.  She reached out but failed to stop the barbarian. He continued running. Soon he had entered new room. The sound of the closing door from early could only have been from here. A large set of stone doors with metal reinforced bars slightly recessed in an alcove barred the way. The room interior was also more detailed. Obviously dwarves had carved this chamber. Bartol ran right up to the door. He turned around to scan the room. Bernedette and Amy followed. Bernedette tried the door. It wasn’t locked but it also didn’t budge.The hobgoblins missed their opportunity to get a free shot at the party. They also missed Erik and Thane in the mist. A loud click was heard at the stone doors. The last lock and bar was thrown into place.</blockquote>
