[Scotley]

Suzume is content to stay near the rear and try to keep the others moving.

 

[Lou]

Tiko

"If we don't find an exit soon, I say we set a trap at the next corner." says Tiko.

 

[mleibrock]

[sblock=OOC]Did everyone see the map link in post #430? The group is coming in from off map right (E). Lou, it might be a good spot for a trap if you want. Also, I still need a marching order. Scott responded, but I have not heard from the rest. [/sblock]

"Stand aside, fellow adventurers! I, Drulox Xorik shall lead us to the surface! Errr ....now which way is the surface again, besides up?" Dru wants to be at the front of the group, but even he is prepared to give place to anyone who knows where we're going.

[Rhun]

Anundr will continue to lead, using his torch to light the way. "Which way, Janivan," asks the Shoanti, inspecting the walls for a mark that might give indication of where to go.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Liath stays just ahead of Suzume, arrow knocked and occasionally looking back to see if there's anyone she needs to pincushion.

[mleibrock]

[sblock=OOC] OK. So marching order is: Anundr, Janiven, Dru, Tiko, Trevor, Morosino, Liath and Suzume. [/sblock]

The group enters the area from the east, with the sewage stream to their left. Across the muck, there seems to be some kind of a room, into which you can see only a little as there is no door, but it is very dark. In front of you is another crossroads of such. Planks have been laid across the muck to aid in easily crossing.

As of now, there are no signs of the hellknights following you.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

When Liath comes adjacent to the door she readies her bow and peers inside.

[sblock=OOC]Think cops clearing a room with weapons drawn . . . cover behind the post, arrow knocked, spin and peer in, ready to fire.

Darkvision and Low-Light vision should see in easily, unless there's a Darkness spell on the room.[/sblock]
