Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

"Sure.", Lylamwyn answers to Lenya and casts Fireball at the orcs, aiming either over the wagon or though an arrow slit. He'll then move towards (or to) the south tunnel for cover, cursing his rather short legs.

OOC: Sorry I've been a bit of quiet lately. School and MMORPG's are not a good combination. I'm not sure if Lylamwyn had the time to refresh his spells, so if he doesn't have Fireball memorized, he'll cast

Lylamwyn studies the approaching wagon and soon realizes that although he might be able to put a fireball down a stationary arrow slit, putting a fireball down an arrowslit that is moving is almost impossible. After that realization, he casts a Fireball above the war wagon in the space between the metal wall and the ceiling.

The fireball does not appear to affect the orc archers (perhaps the wagon has a metal ceiling as well). However, you do hear some orcish screams and the wagon slows down, as if there were other orcs behind the war wagon who were pushing it before being set on fire.

Lenya fires an Eldritch Blast at one of the archers behind an arrow slit, but misses and hits the metal wall (12+ bonuses - 8 arrow slits).

The party heads down the south tunnel to avoid the now slowed war wagon. The war wagon follows behind you out of sight.

After going 140' through a winding tunnel, you enter a large 60' by 60' cave that slopes upward to the south. There are three exits from this cave, west, southwest, and south. Fungus grows all along the East wall and floor.

Several orcs lurk on the far side of the fungus by the southern exit, firing arrows over the fungus at the party. (Craven gets hit for 4 damage, Lylamwyn gets hit for 10 damage).

The party can cross the fungus to attack the orcs. Alternatively, the party can go around the fungus along the west wall to eventually get within melee range of the orcs. Or the party can just engage the orcs with missile fire. Or the party could go around the fungus to one of the other exits (west, southwest).
 


Lenya

Lenya grabs her wand while moving 20 feet along the west wall and casts a Shield spell on herself.

“Let's go round! Who knows what kind of weird fungus that is.”

[GIANT] “Come! Let's show these buggers who the real masters are.” [/GIANT]
 

Toriah fires an arrrow into the darkness at the unseen orc archers, but does not know whether he hit any of them as the party moves around the fungus.

The orcs flee out of sight from the party down the south tunnel.

As the party passes, the western exit from the room with the fungus, they see into the next room. The western room slopes up so that the center of the room becomes a pedestal, but otherwise appears empty from what the party can see without entering the room.

Does the party enter the western room, travel down the soutwest tunnel, or travel down the south tunnel after the fleeing orcs.
 


Though he feels that running off into what may be a potential ambush may not be the best course, Raner follows Toriah, figuring if he's going to run off he should at least have some backup.
 


The party pursues the fleeing orcs down the south tunnel. After going 120 feet, the party reaches a four way intersection. The party can go west, south, or east.

It sounds like the orcs fled to the east, from which much orcish yelling is coming.

It looks like the corridor to the east turns into a stairwell going up, but you can't see the top of the winding stairs from the bottom.
