OOC: Thanks! I hadn't even noticed the 1000 + posts until you mentioned it. 
ooc: excellent point, good sir.

When the dust settles, Jonas sees a long pit roughly 7 feet wide by 15 feet long by 15 feet deep, in which are Alarion, Thea, and several dog-sized centipede-like creatures with lots of tentacles around their mouths, in a sort of room or crypt beneath the passageway. The "crypt" seems to extend back beyond the sides of the hole in the floor on all sides.

From the vantage point above the creatures, Jonas unslings his bow and fires an arrow at the farthest chilopod.

The Battle joined...
Reacting first to the floor collapsing next to him, Raul yells to the others, "Two in a hole! Three creepy-crawlers in sight! I'm going in!" Displaying an impressive acrobatic skill, he hangs from the floor and swings toward the nearest wall, dropping to the room below and assuming a combat stance.
Through the swirling dust, Thea could see an ugly worm-like form just to her south, its writhing tentacles nearly close enough to touch. Almost reflexively, she began to call one of her spells to mind, but a fit of coughing made her first words dissolve in a rasping spray. "We're down here," she coughed, abandoning orcish for the Common tongue, "and there are some 'cough' things moving around 'hack, cough, hack' too." Finally she tried to focus enough to get a spell off, but those tentacles were a dangerous distraction- but her training as a constable came through, allowing her to maintain her concentration for a crucial moment. The nearest Carrion Crawler opens its maw very wide as if it is going to attempt to swallow Thea whole. Then in collapses to the floor and begins making an odd wheezing noise that must be the worm equivalent of a snore.
Bruised, battered, and wracked with coughing, Alarion does not waste his breath in speech. He draws his sword as he steps in front of Thea, ready to defend her with his life. His blade bites deep into the worm at his right, but does not fell it. The worm to his left moves, attacked by the motion of the monk and Alarion manages to cut a slice from it, but it doesn't slow.
The first crawler hit by Alarion strikes out with its tentacles tentacles (1d20+3=14, 1d20+3=9, 1d20+3=8, 1d20+3=8, 1d20+3=16, 1d20+3=4, 1d20+3=14, 1d20+3=5), but none manage to find an opening in the knight's armor. A bite (1d20-2=8) proves equally ineffective. The second crawler strikes (1d20+3=19, 1d20+3=23, 1d20+3=15, 1d20+3=11, 1d20+3=17, 1d20+3=22, 1d20+3=19, 1d20+3=7) at Raul and hits him 4 times though he is missed by the bite. (DC:13 Fort save for Raul)
Jonas staggers to his feet, still coughing and wiping the dust from his face. He moves toward the hole and at first considers help Darius with a rope and then spies the crawlers. Jonas unslings his bow and fires an arrow at the farthest chilopod. Unfortunately, the arrow crashes into the rubble next to the crawler. Bruno barks threateningly, but can do little for the time being.
Finding the edge of the hole, Darius drops down one end of a rope and begins looking for some way to secure the other end in place. Darius sees an irregular projection just below the edge of the pit that looks like it might serve as an anchor point. He ties off the rope.
Moru waves the dust away with mild annoyance, though he can feel Retbi's stomach turning through their empathic link. "No puking in the backpack, Retbi!" Moru chitters as he squints to get his bearings again. The familiar leans over the side of the backpack, instead, doing its best to keep its recent lentil snack down. Realizing his crossbow will be useless given the circumstances, Moru stows it in favor of his truncheon. Retbi chitters what sounds like a smartass reply even to those who don't speak Weasel.
Wally staggers from the edge of the pit choking and coughing and pulls a dagger. He turns back toward the pit trying to get a clear shot.
Hearing Raul's yell, SoulFetter moves back to the party with his bow at the ready.
Rahvin finds that the dust does nothing to improve his situation. He just tries to stay out of the way for now.

SoulFetter
Recognizing that he'll never be able to fit into the space available next to his fellow constables, SoulFetter resolves to keep a weather eye out in case the racket has attracted other visitors. If the opportunity presents itself, he'll move in for a bow shot.

Alarion of Tovarre
Seeing Thea is actually doing quite well, Alarion slashes at the nearest aberration, then steps closer to the wall, so as not to be flanked. He is still weakened by the coughing, but he fights bravely as ever.
[sblock=OOC Round 2]
Attacking Crawler 1: Attack 23, Damage 3
Will take a 5' step to square C5. If crawler 3 closes, he gets an AoO:
Attack 12, damage 6
On the of chance he gets a Cleave attempt: Att 10, Damage 10
[/sblock]

Jonas takes aim and fires a pair of arrows at one of the centipedes, but the lingering dust, kicked up by those down below spoil his aim.
