Temple of Ishassara

"Well, since there's no additional doorways in here, I do believe that's the first level fully explored now.  Shall we proceed down to the next level?"

Venturing through the only door left in this room, a long, narrow coridoor leads down a few flights of stairs. This chamber has cracked tiles and natural rock is showing through. Broken pillars are scattered throughout the room and it smells of damp dirt and the sound of dripping water can be heard from a large hole in the western wall. Numerous Tabaxi skeletons are piled in the back corner of this room, surrounded by gold pieces and what look to be other interesting items. As you enter this room, Liam’s dagger can once again, begin to hum. A little louder than previously.

"Eyes open, people. Vigilance is singing."

Liam's Perception to try and determine the source of the danger: 5

"Not to you.." Crispy mentions.

Eye for Detail: Perception: 8

"...or me." She sighs.

Perception: 11

”Shinnnneeeyyyy.” Gregor whispers, eyes bulging with the amount of gold in the room 

Nia warily looked around.

Perception: 5

"You've got a future, kid." Crispy winks to Nia. She holds up her hand for a high five.

Chubby walks up behind Gregor and slaps him on the shoulder blades, laughing: “Haha, my wise friend...looks like you’ve stumbled upon some more friends who want to play!  Come on out, it’s time to dance!”

Perception: 8

Usually waiting to lure the stray adventurer towards the horde of valuables, the Gricks realise their presense has been noticed, as they slowly reveal themselves from the shadows. Two Gricks slither out from around crumbelled pillars, but seem to wait. Staying put for a moment. Suddenly, a much larger beast drops down from the ceiling, with a heavy thud. It opens its face up revealing a terrifyingly large beak, and lets out a loud SCREEEEEE. 

One more time, would y’all please roll initiative.

Grick1: 12 Grick2: 22 Grick alpha: 7

Initiative: 20

Initiative: 10

Initiative: 19

With a groan, Crispy readies herself for combat again. "More of these, eh? Ok. Lets dance!"

Chubby’s initiative: 15h

Whoa, is that a 15? That's the best you've ever rolled. LOL

Liam's Initiative: 20

Alrighty then!

Liam, Gregor, Crispy, Alpha, Chubbs, G2, Nia, G1.

Crispy waits to be able to "flank" a target to activate backstab, as usual, so here's to hoping Gregor, in his traditional blind bravery, rushes towards a target, with me, hopefully, right behind. I'll wait and see what he does.

(Lium and Gregor rolled the same, but I’ll go now to pull Aggro as the tank)

Gregor goes wide eyed at the Alpha Grick, and shouts out in a extremely loud voice, ”FRIENDS, USE EVERYTHING YOU CAN, NO USE RESTING IF WE BE DEAD” 

He then proceeds to activate rage, and charge towards the left side of Grick 1, and swing his axe in a none reckless maner, this was a important time to be careful.

Hit: 18

Damadge with rage boost: 15

Gregor surveys the situation. Upon seeing the alpha Grick, his fight or flight response kicks in, triggering an adrenaline burst which he converts into rage!

Donning his greataxe, he charges in with it trailing along the ground, emitting small sparks which dance along in a trail as metal grinds over rock. He swings it up into Grick1's body, delivering a deep gash.
