The Emperor of Solmaria

Kinden

I have no quarrel with you either, Xanthas Routillia, Kinden replies, openly frustrated in a way remarkably like the other elf was earlier, but let's concentrate on surviving right now!

OOC hoping Aramil, the last elf, has the opportunity to say the same thing to Xanthas too somewhere :D

Taking the innkeeper's hand, Is that the only way then? What kind dangers are there here?

Shielding his eyes from all the extra light around him, Shadowleaf pulls his hood back over his face and starts to move towards the front of the group. As Shadowleaf passes Xanthas in the tunnel he finally replies,"My name is Nilbalion Savariel." He throws a sidewards glance as he moves forward. "But I would prefer to be called Shadowleaf." With that he moves up to take point with Kinden.
 

Lenya waves good bye to the orcs, when they leave towards the east.

Lenya, the human girl says, and this here is Midnight.

Let's just get out of this... well... let's just get out of here, okay? With that she follows the elves.

"Now, nice to meet you and all, just call me Dar if you need, but let's move on quickly. There are things down here that don't like visitors and I guess this new smell only makes them more angry. You, Xanthas, please take the lead and be ready with your sword, I'll guard the back since I don't need your lights. And please" he said threateningly eyeing the bard " be quiet. We'll talk and plan once we get out of here."
 

I'll uh.... guard the center! Lady travel with me, I will keep you safe. Dylan bravely draws his sword and beckons Lenya stand by him.

Lass, one such as you needs a sturdy sword, and there is none better here than mine. Stand by me. All the while he tries to avoid the Dwarf's gaze.

The group travels away from the fight, hearing it fade behind them, only to have the sounds replaced by their sodden feet and squicking sounds of rats, their feet scrmbling in the distance in unknown directions.

As they continue, an order is established, with Kinden and Shadowleaf taking the lead followed by Xanthas and Aramil, who in turn have Lenya with Midnight and Dylan following them. aking the rear, keeping a close eye on their backtrail is the dwarven paladin, Darhaan.

Every so often, the party finds that they have to stop to scrape sludge off their boots with daggers and knifes so that their movements aren't hampered by the collecting waste on their footwear. Furthering their discomfort, the group finds that although the smell is gone, they feel a little light headed.

Traveling this way for about an hour with no true encounters except with a few hundred cockroaches at one point, the party comes to a T in the passage. Looking down both corredors, other then one that doubles back the way they had come, there are no other coredors in sight, much less one that goes north.

Xanthas walks to the center of the corridor and in a hushed voice asks "Shall we flip a coin or..." looking to either side and seeing only darkness.

OOC Oh, I see how it is, let's get the elves hating on the block-headed fighter :p
 

Just as he was about to offer his suggestion, Dylan remembered the dwarf's words and decided it best he said nothing. He had no idea afterall of where he was, much less on which direction to take.
 

This place is... disgusting! These are my best boots! She sighs. If I only knew one of those fly spells...

Lenya then turns to Midnight. Well, Lady, you could do us a little favor and scout the two corridors for a north passage, would you be so kind? And stop complaining... just look at us! She sighs again.
 

Back near the inn while the others are giving their names, Kinden says simply: The name's Kinden

As the party starts to feel lightheaded, he attempts to use his Healing Skill (+7) to determine if the lightheadedness is affecting them in a significant way, or if its just a side effect of the stench.
