Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eccles" data-source="post: 3159485" data-attributes="member: 5675">Pushing Tom ahead of us, we began to explore a series of rooms, whose occupants we had already defeated. The first was a small room with 2 beds, some part-made leather armour and an empty weapons rack. I helped Torvig look around the room, and he was lucky enough to find a large stash of gold in a bag concealed within one of the mattresses. The next room belonged to the boar, and stank of rotting food, blood and dung. In the centre of the room was a low stalagmite which flickered with flame along its entire length, clearly enchanted by some means. Despite searching the room, Flynn and Torvig (who deemed to take great delight in the dung for some unfathomable dwarven reason) found nothing of interest.   The next door we came to was locked, but not for long when we realised that the key we had taken from the tieflings matched the lock. Flynn snuck down the short narrow corridor, listened at the door at the far end, and then put a finger to each temple to indicate a tiefling beyond the door. He then began to work his way up the wall wedging himself by the ceiling; sword in hand.To cover the fact that Niccoli and Torvig were marching in heavy armour down the narrow corridor, I shouted “Hextor triumphs, come and help with the bodies!” in the closest approximation I could manage to the female cleric’s voice. It seemed to work, as the door flew open and a voice could be heard inside calling for others to help. He was immediately stabbed by Flynn, but stayed upright, leaving two more worried-looking tieflings standing behind him.Arrows and blades flashed, but one of the three half-demons dashed through a door at the back of the room and bolted it behind him, shouting all the while. Niccoli and Torvig moved forwards into the room, and I moved to block the door behind them. Just to my right, there was a clattering crash as Flynn fell off the wall, trying to cling to the ceiling whilst using his bow at the same time.Once the two tieflings in the room had been dispatched, we moved to block the door and looked at our resources.The fight at the foot of the elevator had cost us dearly. Many of us were injured, Morgan, Torvig and I were all out of magics, and Niccoli would not be able to take a serious axe-swing from one of the tieflings. We pulled back to the cultists’ room and barred the door behind us, leaving Flynn outside in hiding to keep an eye out for movement.</blockquote>
