Ragnir: (to the party) "Its another one of those rocks, lets smash it."

Tyr just walks over and picks up his daggers placing them in his sheath as he begins to search the cultist for anything valuable.

"I'm more stabby or slashy and less smashy - I'll leave that to you." he says giving his companion a quick look before going back to searching the several corpses on the ground.

[OOC] investigation check: 13

Ragnir will try to destroy this rock like the last one, with his bare hands.

Attack: (if i need to roll an attack on the rock) 24 (attack with unarmed strike/bludgeoning damage)

Damage: (if it hits) 4 (bludgeoning damage) 

Ragnir walks over to the small stone.  As he gets closer to the stone the small runes begin to light up.  A red ray of fire shoots out of the stone causing 4 damage just before it is smashed into dust.

Tyr, searching the bodies you find: 6 black robes, 6 scimitars, 6 medallions that have runes carved in, much like the stones, and one whip.

Tyr just holds up the robes and medallions as a smile crosses his lips "I suggest we go undercover as we progress further down."

Hermenor agrees with Tyr and puts on one of the robes-and-medallion set: "I'll follow you."

Ragnir: (to the party) "I'll stick to the back of the group, in my armor im a bit noisy and i think they'll notice my height."

Ragnir takes one of the robes and puts it on over his armor.

Priton will do the same

Tyr puts on the robe and medallion and begins to lead the group further into the enemy lair.

[OOC] Deception: 6

Ragnir grabs one of the medallions and then follows the group heading further into the cave.

(I’m assuming everyone took a medallion then)

Making your way down the path, the path up

ahead looks like it comes to an end, as you get closer it turns into an almost spiral staircase.  Instead of steps it’s just a sloped floor, making a counterclockwise spiral down.  As you get down to the end the tunnel opens up to a wide open cavern.  The 50 foot descent you made down the spiral ramp was clearly due to the high ceilings you see now.  Stalagmites and stalactites can be seen reaching towards each other to the right, piercing out of a still waterbed.  To the left you see column after column of those small black stones.  In fact there is one at the entrance of the opening you stand in.... apparently you no longer trigger a response from these stones.  Looking past those columns you see a group of men, women, half orcs, an elf, and one firbolg.  All in sack cloth tunics, their feet black and crusted in blood.  Cowering in a huddle.  Behind them you see three horrid creatures clawing and screeching at the scared huddle.

There’s creatures look like some sort of twisted humanoid, undead or otherwise.  Sharp elongated claws, pointed tongues hanging out of their mouths over jagged teeth.  The two on this sides swiping and snarling like savage beasts, while the middle one is bigger.  While snarling at the hostages you can tell a much more methodical and calculated timing, everytime its attempts to catch its prey.  

It seems the only thing holding these creatures back is the beaten Tyriel,  holding a chain, one chain splitting to the three collars around their collars.  

(Stealth checks if you wish) initiative as well for when/if we get to that.  And any action you wish.

80 feet away Tyriel

65 feet away Creatures

55 - 45 feet hostages

30 feet row of columns.

Tyr continues slowly making sure to mind the shadows.

Entering the cavern, Hermenor accidentally kicks a rock. Sending it skipping forward and echoing throughout.  “Not one more move!  You can’t me any closer and I will unleash these beasts onto to workers.  I know you aren’t my men!  There is no escape for them.” Tyriel shouts.

Priton will move to the front of the group "Stop, you are trapped and there is no need for you to needlessly murder these people. If you do so be it but it will not stop us from killing or taking you prisoner." Priton says as hold his holy hammer and hold a sacred flame in his hand

Ragnir: (to everyone) "The only way your getting out of here alive Tyriel is if your prisoners get out of here unharmed."

Tyr just stays to the back trying to use the shadows to his advantage in hopes that the man has only seen his companions and not him.

[OOC]

Stealth Check: 13

"That crystal ball of disappearance can only help you so much, Tyriel" Hermenor says. "You won't be able to run forever. Like my companions here said, if the hostages live, so do you. If they don't..."

Intimidation: 10

Charisma- 10 Perception- 2

Tyr you feel pretty confident that you are hidden in the shadows.  

Tyriel begins to hesitate, “So here is what we are going to do.  You’re going to come join the others, drop your weapons and those medallions as I walk out of here with my pets!”  As he says this he takes another step closer to the group of hostages.  The hostages begin to whimper and cower even more so.  One of the women humans begins to cry.
