Tarwun - You thrust your spear into the Orc and she roars in pain. She is gasping and her body shudders with every breath as her blood pools on the floor beneath her.
Fenly charges into the room, his slower pace meaning he reaches the fight last. Seeing one orc downed already and his companions surrounding the other he enters the fray, swinging his war pick over his head towards the chest of the remaining orc…
Fenly - Your war pick deals a mighty blow and the Orc is defeated. How do you want to do this?
Orc 2 is DEAD. Combat has ended.
All - Both Orcs have been defeated. What would you like to do? The room also contains a bookshelf against the north wall. A cluttered desk stands along the west wall opposite a door in the east wall.
Fenly rushes at the female orc, jumps in and strikes her true in the chest with his war pick. His momentum carries them both to the ground, where he lands on her now lifeless body. Getting up, he braces her body with his foot and pulls clear his war pick.
"Hopefully that didn't attract too much attention. I wonder what is beyond this door", he says pointing to the eastern door with his pick. He wanders over and puts his ear to it listening.
Perception: 8
(OOC: Yeah, I hear someone breathing above me, and you hear someone breathing below you :-) )
((Does the door swing into the room we are in? If so, Tarwun will plant a booted foot at the bottom of the door. If anyone or anything wants to come in, they'll have to move his weight first.))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After charging at the first orc and stabbing straight into it, Korba watches his new companions dispatch the other. Nodding to himself in that his judgement of these few was correct, they could be trusted in a fight. He quickly wipes the blood from his blade then reaches up to his neck where he wears a pendant, which appears to be a small piece of sharp metal with Eldritch symbols carved into it. Taking a breath and a pause for a second he then quickly looks around the room through his tinted lenses and heads to the bookshelf to see what types of books might be left ((investigation 0)).
Fenly - Peering into the hall from your hiding spot, you notice that the exterior walls of the hallway contain numerous tombs set into them at intervals throughout. A handful of the tombs appear to have been broken in to, exposing gaping holes about 2ft x 2ft in size. A peculiar feeling causes you to give them a second look, and you notice that the stone covers that once sealed these tombs lie in pieces on the dusty stone floor outside of them. Suggesting that something inside broke free.
Tarwun - The door does indeed swing inward into the room you are in and you are able to brace the door with your foot as you lean into it with the bulk of your weight.
Korba - You find little in the way of exciting reading. You see that the majority are covered with cobwebs, vermin droppings, and harmless mold. All are partially ruined but are still legible. The few you flip through are dull (histories, collections of romantic poems, and so forth). None of which appear to be of particular value.
Fenly whispers towards the group in the room, "You remember that talk of undead? Well there looks to be some tombs that have been broken out of in the corridor here!". He remains vigilant.
Osmorn takes note of the cluttered desk and decides to take a quick look through the papers and such.
Investigation: 11
Hearing Fenly confirm the existence of some undead down here he grips his rapier tighter and replies, "Well at least some of our information was solid. We made quick work of these orcs though. If Tarwun has the door what do you all say we take the hallway around and try to flank them?"
Osmorn - The paperwork on the desk is written in some form of esoteric shorthand that you cannot make sense of. The glass bottles atop the desk are dusty and opaque. They are corked and labeled with the same shorthand script. A set of tarnished brass scales sits to the left of the bottles, the weighing dishes measuring only dust.
"Sounds like a plan", Fenly replies to Osmorn and moves stealthily out the door and to the east. Stopping at the corner, he takes a quick sneaky look around to see what's there. He has his pick and shield at the ready in case he comes across something.
Fenly - You see a 10ft wide corridor that leads north for about 35ft then branches east and west. About 15ft down the corridor is another door set into the east wall. You don't hear anything of note.
"Then it's settled," Osmorn says as he sees Fenly leave. He follows in suit sneaking down the hallway and stopping when Fenly does. "We wanna find a way into the next room. Be my guest and lead the way, I got your back."
Tarwun & Korba - The strange gurgling growl continues to emanate from the room beyond the door Tarwun is holding. The gurgling intensifies, still punctuated by the sharp inhalation sounds, becoming louder and faster. You hear wet slaps as something crosses the room and slams into the door with a BOOM.
Please make a STR Athletics check to attempt to hold the door!

Fenly is up! Followed by Orc 2.

Tarwun places an ear at the door to the east.

*((Haha, cross posts. I'm picturing Fenly listening down low and Tarwun listening up high, and neither of us hearing anything useful.))

Fenly & Tarwun - You both hear what sounds like a wet, bubbling gurgle punctuated by seething inhalations coming from beyond the door.

Fenly looks up at Tarwun with a confused expression and shrugs, "Not sure what that sound can be".
He turns back to Korba and Osmorn. "I don't hear an obvious threat, I think we have time to search", he says motioning at the desk and bookcase.
He thens walks back to the southern door to act as lookout, hiding in the doorway keeping an eye and ear out.

Tarwun gives a shrug and a nod from his position at the door.

Korba simply nods and moves up to the door next to Tarwun, ready to run in once it's opened.
