The Underdark Primeval [IC]

"No, no, it's not like that," Dargo explained. "They were falsely accused of a crime, and given into my care to try and clear their names."

Rune's face darkens as she recalls something and she nods at Dargo's words. "I see." She then looks to the others, "I would like to offer my assistance in clearing your names - I...I do not abide any sort of servitude and would do what I can to help." She smiles wanly...

Thinking a moment to himself while the others are speaking. He pats bull on the carapace before adding, "We do not know where the mind flayers maybe, but given that those two were in the vault and fled this way, I think it would be best to follow them. They would have the best information regarding what happened to the vault and how best to clear our companions' names. Given that it has been so long since they fled we should however be prepared for anything as they may have warned someone that we are coming. We do not have the element of surprise."

"I agree, I just want to keep our goals in mind," Dargo stated. Then, he returned to tracking the pair, watchful of the dangers.

Our "goals" are those who ransacked the tomb in the first place. Who else in the line-up of rogues is likeliest?! The Brain-biters of course! Those ghouls who fled are about as usefull to us as a deaf grimlock! If we don't take out their controllers first, these ghouls will have direction to further damage the dwarven Clan's honour. Without that guidance, they will be easy prey even for the Clan's vermin hunters.

ooc: I am a little unclear which way we want to go. I think it might be best if we quickly state in OOC which way our chars want to go:

Forward!

Rune cocks an eyebrow, "Ghouls you say? That is most interesting indeed... Mindflayers and undead do not typically mix..."

Dargo advances down the tunnel, with a growing sense of unease. The cylindrical shape of the tunnel and the shaped walls seem to amplify sounds in the tunnel slightly, but that might be his imagination.

Approaching the cavern at the end of the tunnel, he sees that the tunnel ends just a foot above the level of the cavern floor. As he steps out of the tunnel, two glaives slice down at him, from either side. At nearly the same instant a long rope, the color of stone, flies out at Dargo.

-- Surprise Round --

Two male drow, in breastplate, had been waiting at the mouth of the tunnel, flanking it. As Dargo steps into the cavern, they swing their glaives. Both weapons slice into the dwarf.

At the same moment, 50 feet away, a roper, hidden along the cavern wall, shoots a strand at Dargo, hitting the dwarf squarely in the chest.

The rest of the party's vision is limited by the tunnel they are in. They can only see glaives slashing through the air, and maybe Dargo jerking forward slightly, as if being pulled.

 

[deadestdai]

Seeing the Glaives swipe unexpectantly into the Guard, Solli first takes out and swallows the contents of one of his Invisibility potions, then takes a small jump onto the wall of the tunnel, heading up, to find out just where these Glaives are coming from.
