[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5039245, member: 9255"] ELDEEN REACHES SEGMENT 023 12/26/09 “Moment of Heroism” Piik is the first to know what is in the next room. “Crap.” They peer in and see a few Oxen feeding. They are tethered to the wall and eating hay and oats. They look for anything else that could be dangerous and see nothing. They move in and enter the next room. The only light is Leaffa’s torch and Gilfer’s shield with the light spell on it. Within the next room there are several cages with near dead farmers within them. Only one of the men can manage a groan as he rolls his head around to look at the light. Leaffa is horrified at the condition of these men. There is blood on the floor suggesting various beatings and cruel activities of the past. “This has to end.” She swears. The others only give a grim nod of agreement. As they move to the next room they hear a faint sound of a song. They can not place it. Piik feels it is Aundaran in origin. A slave song of some sort. [DM NOTE: Song is a cautionary song about evil in the darkness of the night that waits to prey on unsuspecting prey. Aka the PCs] They enter the next room and find large prison cells with a dozen farmers held within. One man is held in a cell by himself. He is glaring at a space nearby while “singing” the song. He is clearly no bard. Once everyone is in the room a dozen Duergar suddenly materialize as they fire cross bows into the would be heroes. Staggering from the ambush more dwarves appear as they move in to attack. They are enlarged and pummel Gilfer hard. The battle is fast and fierce.

A howling sound that is nerve racking can be heard immediately as the trap is activated. Piik runs over and looks down into the cell.
