With the door still partially adjar, allowing Kronk some form of sight into the room he sees the room appears remarkably dust free and clean. No layers of dust on the floor or piles of debris like many of the previous buildings have had. In the far corner he can just make out what appears to be a stack of barrels.
[sblock=OOC]
Assuming limited field of vision due to door only being partially open.
Kronk moves into the room and heads to the corner as Miraym silently makes her way into the room as well. Miryam senses the trouble as soon as she steps into the room and sees the rapid movement towards Kronk, but is unable to shout a warning early enough.
A pale-skinned, thin, dwarf-like creature with dingy white hair lunges from the shadows of the corner towards Kronk, a short sword outstretched as the creature strikes Kronk with the point. The sword pierces Kronk's skin as he was taken by surprise, the small weapon earning a surprisingly hurtful hit.
[sblock=OOC]
An awkward surprise round! The creature surprised Kronk. Miryam noticed the creature, so she can act in the surprise round.
Miryam, take a surprise round action and roll initiative for normal round actions and take them.
Party, roll initiative for normal rounds actions and post round 1 actions.
