House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen II

[Endur]

Kilcif proceeds down the tunnel that slopes into the ground, heading deeper into the earth. He soon enters a large cavern.

The reek of death hangs thick in the air, replacing the dry odor of the ancient graves with a more pungent and nauseating stench. No graves line these walls, but loose piles of gear, a breastplate and greataxe here, a large shield and chain shirt there, litter the cavern floor.

Kilcif quickly finds several weapons worth wielding, a greataxe, 2 rapiers, a hand axe, a dagger, and a mighty composite longbow. Two suits of mithral chainmail, two suits of studded leather, and one breastplate. Several shields. All of the equipment is at least of masterwork quality.

Kilcif may not have found the Matron, but he has found loot.

Kilcif does not see any obvious exits from this cavern. He'll either have to turn around and take the other fork in the Y, or search for a secret passage.

"So where *cough* excactly are we going? I don't exactly feel *cough, cough* like walking a mile."
Despite his condition, Torellan does his best at grinning at his own pun.

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif smiles with pure delight at what he takes as a sign that his string of bad luck is over. He frowns slightly as he realizes he has no way of knowing what is magical and that he has no true replacement for his morningstar. As he glances around to make sure the items are not trapped he places the items in small piles to make them much easier to bundle up. He glances around every few seconds to make sure he is still alone but all in all he goes about his business quickly.

He keeps the dagger from before out as he tucks it in a loop upon his belt for easy access while he choses to use the hand axe and one of the better shields for his personal use.

As he glances upon the room one more time he looks for the Matron’s and his parties tracks but quickly decides that with the equipment laying about that they most have went in the other direction. He quickly moves back down the other passage way.

OOC: Spot, listen and search checks.

 

[Serpenteye]

The Matron and her little army continues on towards the exit. Scouts and one of the bebiliths sneaking in the front, the rest of the group at a safe distance behind.

 

[Endur]

As the Matron talks to her new recruits, Carcelon, and Kripp, the sounds of battle reach her ears. The sounds are echoing from closer to the surface.

 

[Serpenteye]

The matron brings the group to a halt, ordering them to prepare for battle and sending one scout forwards to observe the battle briefly then report back to her.

 

[Endur]

The scout returns and reports that the battle is taking place two caverns away. A group of skeletons are engaged in battle against a large black tentacled creature.

 

[Uriel]

Kripp does as the Matron commands casting Bull's Strength upon himself.
Then he proceeds along to the battle.

 

[Serpenteye]

The Matron shrugs inwardly, seeing no particular urgency in the immediate situation. With a gesture she orders the Bebiliths to move into position ethereally and sends the scouts back to spy on the battle while the rest of the group moves forwards, arrayed in battle formation, to stop just out of the visual range of the combatants.

It is too soon for the raiders to return now, which means that we should probably let this battle run its course since all involved are likely our enemies.

 

[Endur]

OOC: Although Matron Ki'Willis didn't know exactly when the surface raiders were expected to return, she did expect them to return several hours ago. The surface raiders are over-due.

It is too soon for the raiders to return now, which means that we should probably let this battle run its course since all involved are likely our enemies.
