Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rhun" data-source="post: 3750849" data-attributes="member: 29098">Left... Right... Straight... Ciaran thinks about the directions that have been traveled, and where they are going. He thinks about the light on the walls, and gets his sunrod ready. He shakes his head; Aeron will make a stand. Someone is always making a stand... That is never the way of the storm. Always moving, coming, going, but never standing. He continues running, trying not to get too far ahead of everyone else. He will have to meet anything that comes at him...coming to the straight corridor heading south, Ciaran doesn't see any signs of guards in front of him.Deren runs after Ciaran, but can't match his taller companion's pace.Shoon groans in frustration at the almost complete lack of cooperation from his allies, though a more acurate description would be; 'those who are not swinging their weapons with the intent to strike each other'  "Aeron!" he calls to the cleric "If you are going to stay, then so shall I.  I will not allow you to die for us."(DL, the door swings opn into the room, so Shoon can't really kick it closed)"By the Shining One's will," Aeron intones with the confidence that only true faith can bring, "my life will not be needed.  Only a little time." The cleric turns to Sir Merrick.  "Lead us out, Knight.  And someone get potions ready from that pack!" he calls the last to the others.Sir Merrick marches forward at a good pace, eyes and ears wary for more guards.Jinx, too far ahead now to much overhear Shoon's angry words, remembers only Aeron's last suggestion that he march the length of the passageway ahead to secure it for the group. The gnome forges forward, his eyes hunting for twists and turns in the hallway, a door, a foe at which to fling his dagger, anything, really. The gnome finds himself right on his halfling companion's heels, but still well behind Ciaran.Seeing that Shoon has dropped the body, Zirat moves to withdraw from the dungeon. Aeron follows. Both can see that there are more guards now coming from the west, as well as those following from the east.Initiative Count20 Ciaran - runs (triple move)19 Deren - runs (quadruple move)13 Shoon - moves, retrieves pack13 Aeron - delay13 Merrick - runs (triple move)12 Jinx - runs (quadruple move)9 Zirat - 5' step, ready action13 Aeron - 5' step, ready action8 human 5 - 4 human 1 - 4 human 2 - 4 human 3 - [OUT OF SIGHT] ?4 human 4 - 4 human 9 -4 human 10 -4 human 11 -4 human 12 -PC StatusAeron    14/24Merrick    2/22Shoon    13/18Zirat    10/31Jinx    15/15; mage armor (approx 54 mins left) for AC17[sblock=Opponent Status - Players Do Not Look]Guard 1 -4/38, stabilizedGuard 2 -3/27, stabilizedGuard 3 DEADGuard 4 -3/27, stabilizedGuard 5 DEADO1    DEADGnoll a DEADgnoll b -5/11gnoll c -3/11gnoll d -8/11gnoll e DEADhuman 5 21/29bugbear -3/16human 1 8/8human 2 8/8human 3 8/8human 4 8/8human 5 8/8human 6 -9/8guard 7 0/8, feigning unconsciousness[/sblock]</blockquote>
