OOC: I'm having great difficulty adjudicating what Solli is doing. So in the end, I'm going to follow his first post as closely as possible.

-- Surprise Round --

Solli delays, waiting for the dwarves to pass by.

-- Round 1 --

Solli continues to delay.

Is it possible to still join this group?

*Denasa will wait for the dwarves to come out of the room. If they do so, Denasa will raise her hands and give them a death glare.*

"Let us go immediately! We have committed no crime, and I don't want to hurt you if I don't have to. But I will not be caged, so stand aside, noble dwarves, and let justice take its own course," Denasa says in her most persuasive tones.

[OOC - Bluff +13. If that fails, scorching ray, just above the three guys in front, in order to scare them. But only if they insist on taking us prisoner again. I believe that's the only spell she has that doesn't require material components.]

**OOC: Forgive the confusion SS, I got a little confused as well it seems. Just take Solli's original actions (Search for equip) as his surprise and first round actions and and if the search takes up more rounds then that too. Once he has found as much as you have described, he'll THEN head back to do the second stuff I posted. (I had originally read your post as that the dwarves had infact left the room and entered the corridor with the party.)**

"I am glad to have been of some small assistance. I am Vuoor Seakin, at your service." The Kuo-Toan bows.

Dargo eyed the kuo-toan warily. He could not doubt the help Dargo received, but it took a second or two to relax around Vuoor. Dargo only had to realize the reactions that he received on a daily basis from other dwarves.

"If there's something to this attack, I may need to ask for your help . . . though that depends on what these fine dwarves have to say," Dargo replied.

OOC: OK. I should have said something along the lines of "The dwarves are in the process of rushing out." How I'm doing this is: Dwarves open door. Check for surprise (see if dwarves spot hidden PCs - Solli and Denasa). Roll inititiative. You can tell by the way the dwarves are standing that they are about to rush out into the hallway.

Dargo's keen eyes scan the area, searching for more ambushers. The two dwarves on the ground bleed to death, and also transform into wererats.

The dwarf lady speaks. "Thank you for coming to our aid. I am Lady Miria Stronghammer, Matron of Clan Stronghammer. Clan Stronghammer rules territory in the Deep Realm, below Earthheart. Deep Lord Karam Stronghammer is my son."

"Our family tomb was broken into a couple days ago. Divinations revealed that the thieves were not citizens of the Great Rift, but creatures of the Deepwild, also known as the Underdark. Further divinations found them to be hiding in a certain tavern in Eartheart. Based on this information, they have been arrested by the Steel Shields and are being held in Eartheart Deep Prison. I have come to represent Clan Stronghammer at their trial. But the trial date has not been set yet, so..."

Lady Miria looks at you with a mischevious glint in her eye. "... so I snuck out on my own to visit Eartheart Deep Prison, which is not far from here. I wasn't stealthy enough, though, and these two caught me sneaking out, and insisted on accompanying me, though I made them promise not to tell anyone else. It seems they were right to be cautious." Turning to her handmaid and bodyguard, she says "Please forgive me. I did not mean to put you in harm's way."

Returning her attention to Dargo, Morph and Vuoor, she says "I do not know who the ambushers are, but my Master Tracker has suspected that someone has been trailing us since we left Stronghammer Keep. Would you be so kind as to escort a foolish old lady the rest of the way to Eartheart Deep Prison? I am curious to see who the tomb robbers are."

OoC: I assume that Solli's action is worked out and Rogoth will be up. Delay until a dwarf comes through the room then attempt to disarm him if he is using a battle axe (Mmm...Battle Axe) or smack him with my makeshift flail if not. +12 to hit,+5 damage sans Gauntlets, 1D6 flail I think...

Off-topic:SS, what program do you use for your dungeon mapper? I'm getting rather sick of scanning graph maps.

"Pleasure to meet you Lady Stronghammer. My name is Pwyoolp Ripplepond though please call me Morph. I would be glad to escort you until you are safely returned to your estate. If you feel that it is still necessary to visit these thieves then please lead the way, I shall follow." says Morph to the dwarven noblewoman.
