I think that idea is fine, though with the use of magic, I don't know how much it will really help. I would like to get out beyond the tunnels and find some high ground.
The idea to confuse the dogs has great merit..but i fear we must hurry...we also must decide if we wish to assume a defensive stance or go on the offensive...geoffrrey says
OOC: Zurrik doesn't have a cohort.... I think it's just the 5 of us.
IC: It's just a couple of 100 feet to cause the dogs to get confused as to which route we took initially. It should take more than a couple of minutes. I can teleport short distances at will, so I can teleport back to here and then teleport down the passage.
"Zurrik, do your thing. Catch up quickly - if you're not with us when we reach the mouth of the tunnel we'll wait for you. Sing out if you find trouble!"
H'Roosh moves on up the warm and humid tunnel, on high alert.
I guess this is just my doing. Having walked down the chosen passageway, Zurrik returns to the entry by teleporting. Zurrik moves down the rightmost passage spitting as he goes, counting to 50. At that point, he turns around and moves back to the entry room. Going down the middle passage for a count of 50, Zurrik stops to whiz and then returns to the entry room. Zurrik teleports up the passage after his friends to where he left them. Zurrik then moves quickly to catch up with his friends.

Zurrik can teleport up to 50' each round using Flee the Scene. A mirror image of himself is left behind each time.

Gnurl hurries along right on H'Roosh's heels. "Boy, I hope Zurrik makes it back with us ok! Or rather, if he gets someone killed because of this little stunt, I hope it's only himself!"
Down the middle tunnel Zurrik makes it just about 15' from a turn in the passage before making his return. There are no obvious threats in the portion of the passage he chooses.
The second tunnel is very cold and seems to slope downward as he goes. He finds himself moving at a weirdly slow pace just before he uses his power to retreat back to the starting chamber. Finally, he rejoins the group little worse for the trip, though there is a rime of frost on the front of his clothes that melts to dampness in the wet warm passage.
You all get the eerie sense of hot breath in this tunnel. It is almost as if you are moving into the throat of some great beast. Some of you find yourselves tempted to tap the walls to be sure it is in fact stone about you. The passage is 10' wide and 10' high. It seems to slope up and down a little as you move along. It also turns occasionally a little left or right in a zigzag pattern making it difficult to see more than 40' or so ahead or behind.
