umm.. Alhandra steels herself for something big and mean to emerge from the corridor.

If there's time to prepare, she'll listen, and then burn a Divine Might before the battle is joined.

If there's time, she'll also use her Wand of CLW to heal anyone close, if they're hurt, and they want.
 

Re: Well, my boy, I'm glad you asked!

Jozan of Pelor said:
I do hold the high ground, after all, both physically and morally, and it wouldn't be much of an effort for me to shoot you several times with this blessed crossbow I'm holding, if you threaten me or try to climb up here or do something equally...well...bad."

A grunting comes from down in the pit, echoing slightly; Jozan can hear the sound of splashing as well. The creature is squatting in a waist-deep pool of water that seems to come from an underground stream.

A voice rises up. "Gruh. You, Jozah, are in bad place. This is our home. Once we carved the humans for our food, but we were defeated; then The One That Crawls came, and we are less than we were. But," and the creature looks up at you, nose flattened and eyes dark, "we still have some tricks left." And his arm comes up....

and a fish smacks you in the face. Your crossbow bolt skims its head, and it throws itself at the wall, desperately trying to clamber out before you recover and reload.

One point of damage!
 

Guys, if the party dwarf is telling us that the roof's deadfall isn't entirely structurally sound, I say we owe it to ourselves to AVOID DYING. Let's get out from under that thing.

Jozan, did you just get slapped with a fish?!

moving over the plank to the other side of the chasm
 

Devis, you realize that you've gotten dirty. Not just an attractive smudge-dirty, but dirty-dirty. And there's this strange vibration around you....

Hennet, meanwhile, moves 15' to the south. Your buckles creak as you move, and your crossbow shot is quite good; it sticks in the goblinoid's leg, and he howls like a stuck pig.

Nebin and Ma'Varkith wait, expectantly, while Mialee moves quickly and gracefully across the plank.

Vadania moves farther into the room as her wolf appears, standing next to Regdar and savaging the leg of the web-stuck enemy. Regdar's greatsword flashes down. It isn't a perfect hit, but it does the job when combined with the wolf and the arrow, and the panicking creature gurgles and stops moving. Blood rains down from it, sounding like a small waterfall as it splashes off the stone floor at Regdar's feet.

Kazak's no dummy; he moves much farther into the room, away from the deadfall.

Krusk begins to chop his way out. He sees two creatures in back of him, but Regdar just killed one of them, so Krusk should kill the other. His axe pulls back, gets stuck for a second, slams forward, and chops right through the creature's shoulder. Already hurt, it sags against the webs, dying. Krusk pushes forward, and is almost out of the webs.

Kerwyn heads over to help, but things look like they're under control. Like Lidda, Kerwyn slits a throat of a sleeping monster; it's just like falling in battle, only more embarrassing for the deceased. The badger keeps chewing on the creature it had attacked, its muzzle flecked with red. It snarls at Lidda.

Alhandra listens; she doesn't feel any vibration in the stone, and can hear the sound of confusion back behind the web. Since no threat is immediately present and slitting throats of sleeping people is bad form, she reaches out with her wand and touches the web-covered Krusk. He feels warmth seeping into his body, and his wounds reknit themselves.

Meanwhile, Jozan's involved with some altercation in the pit, pulling a fish off of his face. And is that shouting suddenly getting quieter, to be replaced with barked orders?

Krusk gets 5 points back!

Hennet at Q11. Vadania at P13. Kazak at Q14, on the bridge. Kerwyn at S22. Alhandra at O22. Wolf at P22. Regdar at Q22. Mialee is at R19. Krusk at O23. Lidda at O21. I don't think anyone else moved.

P21, P23, P24, and S23 are dead.

Well then, Kerwyn just attacks whatever is left from our opponents.

“Good job people, any idea if there are more of them nearby?”
 

Bah, unemployment sucks!

Regdar sighs and starts hacking down any goblins that he can get at, hopefully moving to where a cleave would be possible. The emotion of the kill and desire to rend not in Regdars eyes this day.

Regdar realizes Regdar won't be getting paid for this adventure, and knows that Nebin has been doing a crappy job as a union leader.
 

poof poof poof

A tired Gnome rushes in and takes the place of the Nebin cut-out Glaring a reggie for the last remark Reggie didn't I get you the Spokesman gig at the Rum company huh ? Sorry I'm late peeps negotions are going well .
