Skull Mountain: Deeper

[Spanningtree]

Dieter

The first corridor to the west looks inviting.

[Scalydemon]

Anadrea

Solemnly nods to Dieter. "Aye, to the west"

[Craigers07]

Furuk allows sufficient time for Maeglin to search for traps in front of the group. With Kalvain at his side he continues on to the south and cautiously turns west at the first corridor.

[greyarea]

As you prepare to turn down the western corridor, two cultists spring from the eastern hall. The party (d6, 1, SURPRISED) is caught off- guard by the sudden appearance of the men.

One fires an arrow at the person holding the light source (d20, 3, MISS) but his shot is off. The other throws a handful of something on the ground -- you hear metal pieces bouncing on the stone floor -- and then he grabs the other cultist and they run, bounding, south and round the corner to the west.

Actions?

Dieter

Do not pursue!! I fear they may have trapped the hallway. Could some of the warriors with the gift of ballistics cover the rest of us whilst we check what the vermin has left for us?

[Scalydemon]

Anadrea

Scabbards her sword and Covers the hall with her long bow."Shine the torch over here so we can see."

[connivingsumo]

Dandy Dwarf Cleric "YE's BE COWARDS!" as he launches his Dwarven hammer at one of the fleeing cultists!

[greyarea]

Dandy dwarf's hammer flies (d20, 2, MISS) but hits the end of the hallway ineffectually. It returns to his outstretched mitt.

You examine what was thrown on the ground and it is a group of caltrops, their points ready to pierce your boots.

Had you raced after the cultists, you likely would have wounded your feet gravely. Knowing they are there, you are able to walk through without injury, you think. They are only in a small area just north of where the cultists emerged from the east: you should be able to get through and pursue without problem.



To the west you can see the hall continue, with a door nearly halfway down.

Actions?

Dieter

I say to the east, defending is always easier than attacking and I think they will expect us at this point. Maybe wait behind the door on the north wall in the eastern passage that way then this? Dieter smiles and shrugs.

[connivingsumo]

Dandy Dwarf Cleric "BAH! Ya lil' teets left yer toys behind!" being no louder than the sound of his hammer smacking against the far wall.

Dandy gets on his belly, and begins picking up the caltrops. "This'll only take a minute - I can catch up to ye, if ya like."
