It sailed to the side. Bartol opened the door and prepared to flee only to find the area ahead of him on fire. He instead chopped one of the figures. Bernedette and Amy ducked inside the hidden guardroom. Bernedette recovered 2 quivers of arrows. No more guards were inside. The figure between Bartol and Thane leaped free of the fire and ran to safety. He was headed back to the entrance. The same direction the party wanted to go. Grekk and his crew attacked Erik. Grekk placed one blow under Erik’s ribs. The other blows didn’t penetrate the heavy plate of the walking tank. The chief just laughed. Erik fled. He shoved the door closed behind himself.A few moments passed. The fire went out. The party gathered around and tried to figure out what to do. None of the hobgoblins or the ogre tried the door.“They are waiting us out,” Bartol said. “When the mist vanishes the archers on the other side will pepper us. And I’m sure they have the arrow slits covered again, if we try and flee, they will do the same. We need Timmay.”“I hope he gets here soon,” Thane replied. “I’ve used all my healing magic.”“I’ve got a few spells,” Bernedette offered. “But nothing that will get us clear.”The time gave Bartol the rest he needed to restore his strength. He felt his way to the rope bridge. He tossed his grapnel to the far side. Erik noticed his movement.“Bartol, what are you doing?” he asked. “Where are you going?”“TO ME,” Bartol roared. He made his way across the rope bridge using his own rope as a belay, just in case.Twang, twang, twang, twang.As Bartol edged along the rope bridge, he eventually left the mist. The hobgoblin archers let fly a volley of arrows. Two penetrated the barbarian’s armor. He made the far side. He dropped his rope and drew his sword. The archers did not concern him. The spell caster on the other hand was bothersome. He charged passed the guards and plunged his sword into her lung before she could finish her casting.The mist vanished. Three of the four hobgoblins had cover behind a stone pillar. Thane tossed a vial of fire across the chasm. Bernedette began to see the benefits of a crossbow. She fired a bolt. And Erik used his bow. One more hobgoblin down, the remaining three fired at Bartol. Bartol gained another scar. He cornered two of the archers and finished one of them. Thane struck another with a ball of magical fire. Bernedette just missed Bartol. Erik’s arrow struck the pillar. As the cornered hobgoblin dropped his bow and reached for his sword, Bartol beheaded him. The last one fired again. Bartol quickly dispatched the pest.</blockquote>
