With a yelp of shock he tries to wipe the crimson from his sight. Thus, he could not be any more surprised when his feet tangle up in the tripwire below. He tries to break his fall with the butt of his halberd but the poleaxe proves to be more hindrance than help. He topples to the floor in a comical rag doll dance, coming to rest nearly ten feet from where his fall began.The second fighter, a shuriken wedged between the now broken links of chain protecting his left shoulder, is equally surprised at his predecessor's fall and fails to react in time. His fate is similar and he finds himself a few moments later on the ground and at the wildly grinning hafling's feet. The third guard, also wounded by a stray shuriken, is wise to the trick by the time he reaches the trap and nimbly steps over it. With a downward swing of his halberd he snaps the wire in two. He then snarls "I'll get you, you little pipsqueak!" and lowers the point of his weapon in Charlotte's direction.In the far darkness of the now  visible stairs to the basement, Charlotte can see movement. She flinches as twin sling stones shatter on the western wall behind her and a third on the corner between her and the hafling she can barely make out past the broken door.Beyond the slinger is something else. Something tall. Something with scale covered skin. Something with a wide shark-toothed maw. Something wielding what looks to be a large glittering trident. Even from here, Charlotte can smell the brackish odor emanating from the creature.[sblock=OOC]I've started using the conditions board. Right now, two of the human guards have conditions applied to them. Also, when creatures are bloodied I will note it on the conditions board.[/sblock][sblock=Ranver]Your turn.[/sblock]</blockquote>
