Daerryl and Selene blast one rat off the cliff with their attacks. As they rush forward, Kiori smashes the next one as Raadox's shortsword finishes it off. Raadox's second attack is too slow as the third rat takes a bit at him Attack: 19 Damage: 4
"Ouuuuch! Get off me you stinking..." Raadox just about catches his tongue as he is about to swear expertly in orc. There is a lady present, keep your control man. But heck that hurts. He staggers back, blood pouring from a heavy wound.
The rat lets go and gets ready to pounce again before the other three members of the group dice it into pieces. The top of the hill returns to silence. There is a staircase leading down into the ravine
“Well, I think that makes it very clear: this place is no walk in the park. I’ll try to get us the advantage by scouting ahead. Maybe I can even set a trap for these rats...”
Daerryl will attempt to go quietly check ahead, down the steps while the others get Raadox’s wounds patched up
The 5-foot-wide stairs that descend are roughly carved. You get the feeling fighting on these would not be a good idea. Every 20 feet you reach a small landing. As you descend a fortress emerges from the darkness. The subterranean citadel, though impressive, seems long forgotten, if the lightless windows, cracked crenellations, and leaning towers are any indication. All is quiet, though a cold breeze blows up from below, bringing with it the scent of dust and a faint trace of rot. The narrow stairs empty into a small courtyard (25ftx25ft), apparently the top of what was once a crenellated battlement. The buried citadel has sunk so far into the earth that the battlement is now level with the surrounding floor. That floor stretches away to the north and south, composed of a layer of treacherous, crumbled masonry, which reaches to an unknown depth. To the west looms the surviving structure of what must be the Sunless Citadel. A tower stands on the west side of the courtyard.
Selene, some steps behind the others, a bit tense over actually entering the citadel, but she wanted this mission, didn´t she.
"Gentlemen, my apolgies over my earlier behaviour, it won´t happen again, it´s only...those vile abominable creatures, I can´t stand them. Anyway, you did very well taking care of them, all of you. I´m convinced that you will be able to handle anything else we might encounter within the ruins"
Selene then studies the citadel, and especially the tower, from some distance. Perception if applicable: 11
Raadox grimaces bravely as his wounds are bound. He clearly looks in a lot of pain and the gash is pretty nasty (OOC: 3 HP remaining). "I'm fine," he assures the group valiantly. "'Tis a mere flesh wound. I am fine to continue onwards."
Raadox will take a minute to search the current location for anything unusual or interesting whilst the gnome scouts ahead. Investigation19
Daerryl make me a perception check. Are you just looking around the courtyard or around the outside of the citadel or entering the rest of the citadel?
Raadox - Looking around the small courtyard ahead you find what appears to be a hidden pit meant to trap people. You aren't sure how it works (need another investigation check)

The rat lets go and gets ready to pounce again before the other three members of the group dice it into pieces. The top of the hill returns to silence. There is a staircase leading down into the ravine
"Those must be very hungry to attack us." remarks Kiori, taking a small pice of cloth to clean his flail. "How are you Raadox?"
Daerryl goes to gather his arrows back up.
“Well, I think that makes it very clear: this place is no walk in the park. I’ll try to get us the advantage by scouting ahead. Maybe I can even set a trap for these rats...”

Paladin - warforged - orange
Selene regains her calm, adjusts her exquisite green cloak, and quickly walks over to the elf.
"You are bleeding, let me see to that" She swiftly rips off a piece of her cloak and uses it to stop the bleeding.
"Can you continue our journey Raadox?"

Daerryl would like to see if he can determine any dangers present that may not be immediately apparent.

"Hey guys, have a look at this," Raadox says to the group nearby. He will go and investigate the pit.
