Nadrael calls the others over, suggesting that Sam go first, and choose whether to hold the door or push into the room. She opens the door for him and hides to one side so Rufus and Mathias have visibility too.

"Sam feels better now, Sam will lead us to glory." He will gladly lead the group thru the next door.

As Sam moves forward, Rufus takes his position at the doorway with his gun.

Just before going thru the door "This time group stay together."

Matthias follows along. Sure. Let’s go.

Nadrael fiddles with the door for a moment, trying to pull it open first, then push it, neither with any luck.  After a few seconds, she figures out that it actually slides sideways into the wall.  The scent of death and decay grows worse.  Sam steps through the open door, and the group takes in the new room before them.  Mostly square, though the wall to your right continues for a short distance before opening up and letting the room get a bit wider, the room is about 90 feet long and 70 wide.  There are two wooden doors on the far end of the room, and in the southeast corner a large crystal rests on a stand attached to the wall. In the center of the room, what looks almost like a giant centipede rears up, upper half rising into the air.

((Sam and Rufus?))

Sam

Feeling like a new self after a long rest and some decent food. "Let our path to glory not stop for this bug. Who will join Sam in killing this multi legged beast." And with that Sam will rage and charge carrion crawler with his great axe raised in a position to strike with an over hand swing.

Attack 18 damage 8

(So I got a PM from Rufus that life has gotten busy and he's going to hvae to drop out of the game, which only leaves us at 3 players.  Do we want to try to recruit some replacements?  I can NPC rufus for the current fight)

((I'm easy any which way... I'm similar and have had to drop two of my more demanding PbP's this week, so I can benefit from dropping this too, or happy to push on if people want to pick up new contestants. Also happy to possibly swap characters depending on the party if that helps?))

(I’m happy with either 3 or recruiting more, whichever you all want. Just want to continue)

(I am good with whatever you want to do.)

(I'm getting ready to head out of town for the weekend, so I can go post a new recruitment thread on monday to try to get some more people)

(Thread bump)

(Back now, I'll get the recruitment thread up this morning)
