"Yeah... Once we've cleared out all the centipedes for certain, we could live the rest of our lives down here."
Oren slips on a pair of spike-soled boots, shaking them out first in case of spiders or other nasties. He proceeds to go through the room, running his hand along the cold walls, and trying to stay out of the line of fire in case any of these meat-sicles should fall.
"It makes me wonder, though... All the goblins that are living here, you know, how come they aren't doing that? Eating the meat and drinking the wine? Have they really just not found this area? Or is there something between there and here, that keeps them up there... and might keep us down here?"

Kerith: You enter the freeze-storage room, stepping up onto the shelf of ice that covered the floor. You find you cannot move more than 5' per "round" with any degree of certainty - the ice is too slippery. If you go any faster, it will take skill at balancing.
Oren: You find some boots that look like they'd fit and shake out the dust of decades. The leather straps to tighten them are brittle, but should hold for at least one use. You find that when you go onto the ice that you can only move at half speed, but you don't need balance checks to do so. It took you about 2 rounds to put on the boots.
About this time we're going to be rolling initiative. <evil DM grin>.
COMBAT BEGINS!
Initiative:
Alexi: 23
Blackwing: 21
Titus: 20
Kerith: 18
Monster: 18
Norynth: 17
Gertrude: 16
Xengendalis: 14
Foran: 11
Oren: 8
Surprise Round
Monster: Kerith sees a sudden movement, but before he can react a creature has detached itself from the ceiling near one of the "meatcicles." It falls gently to the floor, using it's small wings to break its fall. It looks like a tiny humanoid carved out of pure ice, but Kerith doesn't get a good look at it before it opens it's mouth in a wide "O" and a multitude of tiny ice shards fly at him.
Twisting in a sudden, reflexive contortion, Kerith somehow manages to avoid any damage from the attack, but in so doing he slips and falls onto the icy floor.
edit: Hmmm.... you posted while I was posting. Let's say, then, that your sudden fall to the floor was your Evasion kicking in and that's why the attack didn't damage you?

Kerith, seated splay-legged on the ice, can feel the cold seeping in from his breeches. It doesn't feel good, he reasons, but if he doesn't get up from the deck, it won't feel at all...
"Well, there's your answer. Look out for the ice devil!"
[imp?]
Kerith will attempt to stand, then whether he's successful or not, will draw his buckler in an attempt to protect himself from the ice attack, keeping his eye on the 'ice devil'.

If there's still any room to do so by his initiative, Oren will move to flank and attack -- otherwise, he'll just try to support the others in what ways he can.
If, by some miracle, most of the group hasn't engaged in combat with it by his initiative, he might actually try talking to the thing -- but let's wait and see, shall we?
(Note: I'm visiting family over the next two weeks, and while I'll still be posting here, it might be a little sparse. I'm not sure if it'll be more or less sparse than it was during finals week. But just warning you.)

(OODM: Oh, and sorry about the lack of a map... my home computer is down, along with my clever mapmaking programs.)
