Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VII

[hippocrachus]

"Consider it another chance to better yourself, friend Teleri," Calenthang says, cracking his neck.
Another chance to rid the world of bottom feeders, he thinks to himself viperously.

Teleri grinned. "Aye and may we drop the mountain on their heads rather than the reverse," she chuckled.

The stone steps end at one corner of a roughly octagonal room supported by three stone pillars. Directly across from the stairs is an empty niche. Tunnels to the north and east collapse after 20 feet or so, but a tunnel to the west continues for 40 feet before opening into another room. Another mold-encrusted staircase descends to the south.

Knowing the others will wish to investigate, Calenthang draws his sword and stands next to the entrance to the new stairwell protectively.
The deeper, the darker... he thinks to himself, allowing his eyes to adjust in the little light provided by the others' sunrods. He strains his eyes to see down the stairs, and tries to listen for any disturbances in the dark.

Calenthang hears a sort of rapid "tap-tapping" coming towards you, as if hundreds of little legs are hitting the ground in succession, and eerie, chitanous march.

"Broddy, remember, we're underground. No spells that affect large areas!" Teleri hissed, hoping the little gnome doesn't get too excited and forgets himself.

 

[Velmont]

"Whatever lies down there can fly, have entered by another entrance or is trap don there for a long time. I doubt Andreas or Chastity have entered this place."

Humanoid's build places isn't the speciality of the elven archer, and Dunstand seems more interested to take the lead in those narrow places, so he left him go in front. Before following, he replenish his quivers with the arrow Felmir was carrying. He then whispers to the animals' ears:

"Those places are too narrow and dark for you. Stay here. If there is some dangers, don't hesitate, run back to town. Leads the others horses out of this places too."

He scans one last time the surrounding area before following the other underground.

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang's eyes gleam when he hears the on-coming parade of legs. Hoping it's what he thinks it is, he readies himself for battle.
May all Her children burn!
He turns his head for a second to hiss at the others: "We have company!"

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan puts an arrow on his string and look in direction Calenthang is looking (OOC: if the creature doesn't appear right now, the archer will cast True Strike)

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo is dubious about the place. "Remember why we are here, my friends. We are here to avenge to killing of Chasity. Secondarily we are here to eliminate any threats to the town. Chasity didn't come down here, it seems, though her killers may have. I must admit, I know naught else to try.

Hearing the approaching sounds, like an army, drogo readies his sling and takes his stance behind his faithful dog. He and Rex will head for some cover, if feasible.
