Keeping his position near the middle of the pack, Kixarn asks Korvus to fly over in the direction that Arilynia thinks she heard something and check it out, carefully. "Retreat speedily, all haste to your feathers, if something a threat is there!"

Once everyone has regrouped back in the main hall, Bastion takes a wary look around. He is just about to suggest taking a look in that direction when the new arrival sends his familiar in to scout.

  Katharina pursues without mercy.  She tries no tricks now, just a steady onslaught of curved steel   Her red locks flow as she moves from spot to spot bringing final death to these creatures.  

Not seeing an overt horde of them ahead, I just let loose with a few more crossbow bolts, I take pains to make sure I'm smoothly reloading in the midst of danger and call out to Kat Which side I shoot to from behind. 

Crossbow 1 - 5 / Unable to parse dice roll. dmg

Crossbow 2 - Unable to parse dice roll. / Unable to parse dice roll. dmg

Rivoril, gets ready his composite longbow once he has regained his breath. He heads back out of the room and up the passage marked (A0). Because it is narrow, he will fall behind the the others at the end of the group. He will continue, until they all re-group rounding up the rear with Avan.

Katharina and Ghanima keep moving and killing the zombies.  Soon they are looking to see if there are any left. 

In the main chamber everyone starts gathering around Airlynia to see if they could hear or see anything.  (I will need spot and listen checks from the raven)

Flying as quietly as he can, Korvus scouts the area, wary for threats.  

Ooc - listen 18, spot 9 

Avan finally gets his things in a carry-able order, slinging it all onto his back, with the bow across his chest and quarterstaff and lit arrow in hand. He heads down the corridor, Jackal squeezing through behind. "Are our horses still there?" he asks as he catches up to the party.

  Katharina looks at the zombie with scorn as it falls.  Speaking quietly she says, " I think that might be all of them. Lets make sure though.   " She walks cautiously in the darkness with kukris at the ready.  

"You have about a minute left on that protection, lets move forward with haste and silence and try to find the others," I say while still saying back 10 feet and easily keep up with Kat as she peeks around corners and dashed from alley to alley.

Katharina and Ghanima both find one last zombie cowering in a corner that is quickly dispatched before they relax and look around at the area they are in.  They can either return back to the main avenue or continue searching through the rubble strewn alleys and side roads in the ruins of the city.

Main group  nothing is seen or heard by anyone by the main corridor leading deeper under the stronghold.  The Raven does not see or hear anything either.  How far down the passageway does it fly?  If it goes further than 60 feet I will need more rolls.

  " Well that takes care of that situation, " she says  as the last zombie is  dispatched. "  I need to refocus myself.  It wont take long   " She closes her eyes and focuses on her abilities for a short time.  Katharina then says, " What do you think Ghanima? Keep exploring this side street or get back to the larger street we entered on?" 

OOC: She spends 3 turns meditating to get her 3 manaeuvers back.   

After his familiar returns, he holds a short conversation with him (in Infernal) and then Kix reports to the group "Korvus didn't view anything ahead with the first 50 or 60 feets, so I'm not sure what was there."

OOC - Korvus will not go beyond 60 feet ahead of the group and will come back to report. There is currently no telepathic link with the familiar, just empathic. 

Bastion considers, "Right, well, we can't keep rushing back here every time a shadow moves, but we also can't afford to ignore such twitches. Unless someone has a better idea, lets all go down the side passage this time. I really hate to maybe leaving us open to being flanked, but its worse to be splitting up."

Avan goes into the big room, taking a look around and checking up on the horses. He tries to get a sense of whether they've been spooked by something.

Spot: 27, Handle Animal: 22

"Bastion, you're right about the armor," he admits. "I need it on in an emergency and just carrying it weighs me down. Could I get some help donning it?"

The warforged nods and turns to assist the druid with the fitting and the knots.

"I think the street's going to take care of that decision for us, it appears we can only get back to the main street from here but by all means let's carry on. We need to try and find that other group and I wish there was some way to draw their attention without drawing the attention of more undead. Maybe if we don't see them anywhere near the main road find a vantage point to look over the ruins from?" 

   " Thats a good idea.  Lets make sure that this road is clesr and then head back to the main passage.  Hopefully we will find a high place to observe from.  "  She will walk cautiously to the end of this side street and then head back to the main passage.  

As Katharina and Ghanima make their way back to the main road the main party makes their way back down the narrow passage and nto the room they found beyond.  They found the horses to be ok and Ailynia stated she would stay with the horses and protect them from any harm.

As Rivoril, catches up with all of the other's in the main room at AK 50. He remains at a state of readiness. "Are we going to wait here for a while,"? He says, to the other's.

"Let, me know if and when you would like me to try and open the locked door, down the other passage," He says. (At AE, AD 42)

He checks, the long passage at AO 52.  for danger. To see if they were followed?
