Gholog taking the lead, you make your way cautiously along the passageway. The light from the cave mouth quickly dims as you progress along. After about seventy feet, the passageway comes to an abrupt twenty foot drop, and opens out into a large chamber. Unlike the rough hewn passage, this chamber has been made by skilled craftsmen, the walls polished smooth. You don't linger long on the craftsmanship, however, as there's a far more arresting sight in front of you. A dead dragon, to be exact...
It is huge, even shrunken in death, and its mummified body is sprawled across the room as if still trying to crawl towards the tunnel out. It's scales glint a dulled saphire-blue in the faint light, where they still hold to the corpse.
But you spend little time examining even this singular sight, as your focus is turned to something rather more pressing: the rain of javelins coming towards you from the eight goblins taking cover behind one of the dragon's limbs...
Most whip past you and along the passage, or strike the stone walls to either side, but two draw blood. One nicks Gholog's ear, while the other tears the sleeve of Kerrick's shirt, marking a red line along his arm. (Both javelins deal 1 point of damage each.)
The goblins just got a surprise round. Initiatives are as follows:
Jason: 15
Kerrick: 14
Goblins: 12
Gholog: 8
Seraphina: 6
Oh, and sorry about the map. Couldn't get the scanner to work, and the graphic program I'm using decided to play up. I'll try to produce something a little better looking next time. Anyway, each square on the map = 10 feet.
