Stunned by the sudden flood of noise emanating from the mushrooms, Dunstand draws his daggers and looks around fearfully. Seeing his companions already going for cover, he two seeks out a hiding place where he can still have I contact with the rest of the group and await the immanent attacl

After firing the arrow, Teleri goes into the shadows or behind something that can give her cover. She isn't going to approach the mushrooms if she can help it, as she is a bit paranoid about anything underground. With good reason. :]

"First ugly bat-things that scare the living daylights outta me and now these things. I'm really, really starting to dislike being underground." she grouses to herself. "Elves were sooo not meant to go below the dirt." she avowed.

ooc:
Maj, do you have a link to the old ooc thread? I lost it down the line somehow. And it's a pity that Verb isn't gonna be able to play anymore. Who'll take over Ayden? I mean, he's one of the few things keeping Teleri in line. :D

OoC: Well someone could volunteer to play Ayden until the party meets up with DarkMaster's character. Verbatim has expressed an interest in allowing Ayden to be recalled to the Lose Vale for the time being, which will leave the door open for him to return in the future possibly if he can manage. The link to the old OoC thread was actually posted by me in OoC VI for the new recruits convenience. You should really subscribe to those old threads so you don't lose them all the time. ;)
 

"They are nothing more than fungi, friend Teleri," Calenthang states from his position in the center of the room, showing no intentions of hiding.
 

"Uh-huh, and they're attracting non-fungi things with even bigger teeth than those weird bat things. And I don't like how they sound." she added, poking her head around the stalagmite she had chosen after she had instinctively fired at the thing and then dove.

She looked around, seeing that nothing was coming at least not yet. "Um, maybe we should leave before the things with sharp teeth come to investigate that." she said. "Like right now?" she added, embaressed at her rather instinctive reactions to the loud noise.
 

Calenthang shrugs and smiles.
"Or perhaps they are scaring away the things with big teeth? Friend Broddy demonstrated the gray-eyed creatures' dislike for loud noises..." he points out to his half-hidden companion.
With everyone else being cautious, Calenthang feels no need to over-estimate his enemies, and shows it by walking over to the screaming mushrooms and trying to put an end to their raucous. He then stands in a defensive position in front of the other entrance to the cavern, assuming with the lack of screeching toadstools, that the grimlocks would be more offensive.
 

Da always said a cautious fighter was a fighter that lived to see the coinpurse at the end of the day. But then he also said that a good ale was one already drunk too....

Teleri decides that caution down below was the better part of valour, and decides to keep well away from the mushroom things. Do dwarven males show the same amount of bravado as elf-males do? she asked the sword dryly as she kept a lookout for anything large, small moving and not a member of the party.
 

The shrieker mushroom is easily silenced by the combined might of the party dispensing "justice" upon it in such a quick fashion. Listening carefully in the following abrupt silence reveals the sound of quick running feet from somewhere far down the dark passageway.

Teleri gets a mental picture of her sword rolling its eyes at her as it grumbles, Yer own father sounds more the dwarf than this one does, with his drunken prattle. This one may be filled with honor, but he's also too full of himself and his own capabilities. He'll push ye into many a battle, that one. Best toughen up, girl.
 

As the sound grow louder, Sielwoodan starts to evaluate the distance of the creature. When he thinks it will be nearly about to appear, he will starts to whipers words of magic so that his first arrow will fly as he wish (OOC: True Strike, Verbal component only)
