after I have determined that it widens I will make my way back towards to the tunnel entrance (when I get close enough to hear the commotion outside I'll advance at a run shortswords drawn)
Frost settles on the head of the brigand and his eyes begin to cloud over, then the sharp edge of Kargans axe strikes his temple shattering his head to a thousand pieces.
Titus emerges running swords drawn from the tunnel just in time to see the red crystals hit the leaves on the forest floor.
It seems there is another mess to clean up and a tunnel to traverse.
" I can't leave you alone alone for 10 seconds without you break'n someone! Haha! The tunnel goes about 140 feet in before it widens. After you've hidden your mess lads I suggest we head in. I'll take point. Let me go in count to 40 then follow. Kargan you OK? you look like you threw yourself on something sharp."
'Damn, there goes our guide to this stronghold but I guess he sealed his fate when he poked the bear, don't you think Titus? That being said Titus give me a few minutes to perform a ritual so that I can detect any magical traps this wizard might have around the cave' I cast detect magic and then follow Titus's instructions
Righto my fine tailored lads (said with a big grin) lets to it shall we? we should see no trouble for the 120 feet or so lets make our way in to where we can the see the cave open up a bit say 30feet short of it? Once there I'll go on ahead and see what delights await us haha!
with that I'll start walking into the cave mouth, not being stealthy but being methodical and slow walked.
I will wait to do my ritual until the last 10mins of Kargans short rest,
OOC: dont forget about your second wind ability nev :) twice the healing one for short rest and one for second wind plus it will be avaliable again after short rest if you need it again :)
OOC: You all take a short rest. Make sure you all adjust your characters sheets as needed :)
Kryinor spends ten minutes constructing and preforming a small ritual in a hidden place outside the cave. The world takes on a slightly different hue and seems more real as the last words are spoken.
Kryinor's feels his senses attuned to the arcane forces in the land around him. As yet he senses no specific concentrations nearby.
Titus relays his instructions and then enters the cave and tunnel beyond.
Waiting the count of forty Kargan moves into the tunnel followed closely by Kryinor, with Eedim bringing up the rear.
As Titus moves slowly up the tunnel he hears and sees no signs of activity, the passage is rough with stones and roots still protruding here and there. The thugs who dug it did so in a hurry and with little care for aesthetics. After about one hundred and twenty feet the tunnel opens up into the southern end of a large cavern.
A cold breeze fills this large natural cavern, carrying with it the faint scent of decaying flesh. A crevasse divides the cavern and is flanked by two rough stone columns that support the twenty-foot-high ceiling. Two arched wooden bridges span the chasm. Oil lamps hung on brass chains light the whole place. There are several exits and what looks like a store room at the far north end.
The crevasse varies between five and ten feet wide and looks to be about twenty feet deep. You think you can make out scattered bones and one partly consumed body in the shadowy depths.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Holding my finger to my lips to signal quiet and motion for the party to move up. Whilst I take a single knee position at my location. I will study the cavern layout and once the party has move to within 20 feet go forward kneeling slightly to my right to look down the closest east passage over the crevasse. (If that is clear Don) - I will again keeping low move to the west alcove just at the entrance to the west corridor and observed down there.

I will wait at the cavern opening, hugging close to the right side wall of the passage, surveying the cavern for anything out of the ordinary looking in particular at the crevasse and the body, the bridge closest to us, , the passage way opening up to our right and finally above us.
Titus moves carefully and quietly forward and looks down the east passage on the other side of the ravine. It goes straight east for ten feet and tuns south. The walls are well constructed and the floor tiled. Moving further into the cavern and taking a look down the west passage he observes a staircase going down ten feet in and the corridor turning to the north fifteen feet later. There is a wooden door bound with iron in the south wall where the corridor turns north.
Moments after he looks down the west corridor Titus feels a presence in his mind...
"Well, well well, what have we here...what does it want, is it tasty, is it tough?"
The elven ranger then feels a cold tingling wave pass through his entire body.
OOC: Titus Charisma save Target number 14.
Kargan and Kryinor move up to the edge of the entrance of the cavern and watch Titus begin scout the area. Eedim still guards the rear in the passage.
Kryinor takes a good long look at the cavern and the crevasse below. He notes the partially eaten body, and the scatter gnawed bones at the bottom. He also see with his magical sight a faint aura of necrotic magic blanketing the lower part of the crevasse. Then as his eyes move up and farther back they widen as he notices a figure hiding behind the northern pillar on the other side of the crevasse.
The creature has a huge eye where a face should be. I has a huge sharp tooth filled maw, and a long wiry body covered in leathery skin and sharp bone like barbs, Its hands are also huge with fingers ending in deadly looking talons.
He sees the creature look directly at him, and then its pupil dilate as it realises Kryinor has seen it.
"What sharp eyes you have, what secrets do you keep, what do those eyes see, what have they seen!" its says in a rasping whisper in your mind.
For a very brief moment the Elf ranger feels his soul prised open and his secrets laid bare.
The rasping voice in Titus' head continues, "Well soldier, not found a cause worthy enough to fall on your sword yet?" and insane cackling laughter fills his mind.
"Or is it because you lack the courage of your convictions..?"
All four of you hear the rasping whisper in your minds, "Why have you come to this place? do you have business with the glasstaff, Hmmm is it to steal my food, my treasure, or are you food..."
after I have determined that it widens I will make my way back towards to the tunnel entrance (when I get close enough to hear the commotion outside I'll advance at a run shortswords drawn)
A low growl resinates from my throat, before snapping back in control and saying again in an even firmer voice ’FRIGIORA MORDENT’
Damage : 3
Con Save Vs Frost: 10

"Ha, lets see ye come back from that ye Milk-Drinkin', Hotten-Blaugh, Shilpit!!"

"Aye, as my ol' drill master always said, 'Lessons are best learnt the hard way', I now know the truth o' that!"
"As sure as the nose on ye face, the Grobbi have been schoolin' these thugs in dirty tricks, curse their rotten hides"

I'll move towards cover using the the pillar in front of me and ready an action (bow)

"Aye, we have business with Glasstaff, where do we find him?"
