Titus marches in with his shield forward and slams into the nearest Grimlock attempting to knock it over with a shove. He will then viciously hack away at the creature with two heavy strikes of his axe.

Athletics 19

Battleaxe Attack 1: 15 Damage: 12

Battleaxe (If target is prone): 25

Battleaxe Attack 2: 23 Damage: 8

Morph utters an arcane word and flicks his rod, releasing two beams of Eldritch Energy at two different targets.

CON(14) checks: 2, 5, 21

Athletics(21): 12

Saralyssa shatters the silence with another spell. Two grimlocks fall and the third, looking a little dazed, is promptly shoved to the ground and finished by Titus.

DM shield:

Saralyssa plugs her nose and steps into the room, looking around for anything of value or interest.

Investigation: 19

Titus waves the foul air away from his nose and takes a few steps back into the hallway, content to let the others search the room for hidden treasure. 

“I don’t know Morph... those Grimlocks didn’t exactly seem ‘well-to-do’ and I’m not sure we’ll find much in here in. If we come up empty again that’s three doors and three stinkers.”

OOC: Any further sign of the dark elf we interrupted? Or is he content to finish his business in peace?

Morph gives a half smile half smirk at Titus' comment.

"Yeah, literal stinkers. Its almost like this dungeon is a sick joke created by a mad man."

Morph gives Titus a wink, before following Saralyssa into the room.

"Find anything of value, or even just anything interesting?"

Rethan was leaning on his staff a bit too close to the door and the bottom got knocked away when the door opened, leaving him off-balance.  By the time he recovered his balance, the fight was already over.

 Following the scent of decay Saralyssa discovers a pile of severed goblin and hobgoblin heads tucked behind a wall of rocks near the south end of the room. There is nothing of value in here, however.

DM shield:

 As they prepare to leave, footsteps and shouts echo down the hall from the north. It appears the drow has finished his business finally and found some comrades...

"Ok, I admit it, I was wrong. It seems drow love a fight more than the shame that comes from explaining they got caught with their pants down."

"Or he is a good liar, actually he's a drow, he probably just lied."

Morph looks between his friends.

"So, try and hide, make a run for it or stand and fight?"

"Nonsense, they've seen what we're capable of. And if that poor bastard is going to get caught with his pants down like that and live to tell the tale then he knows we're not some bunch of maniacs. Really now Morph, not all Dark Elves are quite as bloodthirsty as you say, I'm sure they listen to reason. Especially since they're clearly no match for us." 

Titus stands with his axe leaning casually at his side. He looks sternly at the oncoming group but takes no hostile action.

Morph arches an eye-brow at Titus.

"Right..."

Morph shakes his head, a shiver running down his whole body, as he transforms into a drow.

The drow's skin blends in with the dark, but his silvery white hair stands out. His eyes also glow very faintly with the magic that allows Morph to see magic.

"There, that might help, maybe."

The drow gives the others a wink.

"Call me Valin Alesek, adventurer extraordinaire."

Valin suddenly remembers Saralyssa.

"Oh, Saralyssa, did anyone tell you about my secret? Um...well, surprise?"

Valin holds his hands up and shrugs his shoulders.

DM shield:

 The entrance to this room fills with a large number of male drow, a quaggoth or two, and several giant spiders skittering along the ceiling.

"Well done, Rylzen," says one of the drow.

The speaker draws his weapon. "Servitude or death?" he says.

"I guess you can choose death right off if you wish, I don't think I need any servants..." Saralyssa says. Then Saralyssa moves behind her companions, making sure there is a wall of people between her and the drow, then she casts storm sphere centering it on the group of enemy.

Her companions are all skulpted out of the sphere's affect.

STR 14 save or take 8 bludgeoning damage fromt he storm sphere.

She then uses her bonus action to send a lance of lightning at the speaker of the drow...
