[QUOTE="dshai527, post: 1428895, member: 4469"] And on with the show.. Now that the mage had evened the odds for our dwarven warrior the ogre and orcs were quickly dispatched. Knowing that an alarmed had been raised we felt it best to travel quickly at this point which meant shrinking the dwarf back down to size so that he could fit through the smaller parts of the caverns. Making haste, we chose to pass up a ladder leading up to a trap door and proceeded on down the rocky corridor; that is until we heard the chittering. It was just loud enough to be heard over our own clanking armor and seemed to be coming from around the bend. Fearing another ambush we volunteered 4J to use his ring of invisibity to scout ahead, knowing his armor noise would be drowned out. 4J's stealth didn't last long though as he decided tossing a bead from his necklace of fireballs was a better tactic than alerting us to the dangers lurking in the room beyond. The resulting explosion caused Shield and Elon to round the corner though just in time to see 4J attacking a Queen Larvae of some sort and her eight insect guardians, each of which bearing dual weapons and shields in their four hands. The fight looked easy enough, especially when Elon laid an ice storm directly over the queens head, but looks are often decieving and when 4J's ax laid waste to the queen all insect hell broke loose. The eight guardians which up to this point had been mostly defensive went beserk and surrounded the dwarf battering him from all sides. Only the sure aim of Elon's Shocking crossbow and Shield's brave dash saved the dwarven war machine. A freezing cone of cold from Elon's staff should have helped even more but the chitinous warriors seemed oblivious to the magical frost. To make matters worse large ants, the size of a war dog, started tunneling in from the rear. Things looked grim at this point, but once again a well placed Wall of Ice stopped the flow of reinforcements and Shield and 4J were able to mop up the remianing warriors. Still the battle had taken its toll and the group exhausted its remianing healing to get back up to fighting strength. Elon being the master siege planner that he was decided it was time to fortify a base camp to continue the assualt once the groups magical stores were replinished. The problem was that no location to this point had been defensible. That left only the ladder and trap door in hopes that it led to a more fortifiable loaction. [/QUOTE]
