Seeing the trail of blood leading to the last door, Arbon tightens his grip on his mace. "What do you mean Help is many? What have you seen behind those doors, Urithag?"
Bah.. Grahl is angered at Urithag's insult about Grahls faith. He quickly steps forward with an angry look on his face and with his axe held prepared.
He gets up to Urithag's face as he finishes speaking. Grahl no captured by woman with birds. Perhaps woman see Grahl fight to death.He says to imply Urithag took the more cowardly route in the encounter.
The orc explains to Arbon in a tone that is both somewhat fearful and confidently direct,
"Have seen many birds. So many-I could not lift them when all on top. An ocean of feathers..."
He hears Grahl's words while speaking to Arbon and smirks yet again. Back to his usual bluster, he gives Grahl a side-eye, not bothering to show him the full respect of a warrior's challenge,
"If you did fight birds, worst they'd be is sick to stomach when done eating."
He laughs so condescendingly, you're surprised he didn't tussle your head hair and say "run along" right after.
Arbon looks to the final door as Urithag speaks of the birds. Jaw set, though a look of concern and considering sits upon his face as he thinks about how to best approach what sounds like a dangerous encounter of swarming birds.
Onyx raised an eyebrow at the orc's antics. "Well then, Urithag... since you seem to feel you're the superior warrior here, how about YOU open our last door for us?"
Urithag responds to Onyx by trying to run passed Arbon. He screams loud with fists raised, "BEHOLD A TRUE WARRIOR OF GRUUMSH! I WILL SLAY THE BIRD WOMAN!"
(If unimpeded, the foolish warrior will rush the fourth door, and swing it open hard)
Grahls anger grows at Urithag's foolish words. Before Grahl can reply Urithag claims to defeat the woman. Grahl will not stand in his way. True warrior.. ha. Perhaps show Gruumsh you not defeated by birds again. The chuckles
Give Gruumsh good laugh.. he adds as Urithag moves towards the door.
Grahl will make sure he follows the orc, certain that the orc is mostly hot air and will need a real warrior to show him how its done.
The Orc pipes up, ready to face Onyx's challenge, rushing through the doorway with Grahl following closely behind. The Orcish warrior showed true courage up until the moment he placed a hand on the door. Immediate and honest fear took over his face as he looked to his liberator. The other onlookers quickly steady his resolve, however, and the shame of embarrassment to great for him to suffer now. In blind fury, he pulls several times, the door finally giving in after he is nearly worn out by the endeavor. He slams it against the wall and charges in with a scream.
There, he holds it open, pushing himself foward with Grahl following closely behind... (Grahl only)
When you enter the room, you immediately know this was not the brightest plan. SEVEN of the same bird creatures you fought earlier in the tunnels stand waiting and willing at varying points in the room. Four are right in front of you, standing in a fouled still water pool, full of insects they were picking at until you blasted open the entrance. Three more receive profane blessings from a red eyed demon in a brown robe atop an ivory altar at the back of the room. To the side of the altar are great golden candle holders, illuminating the ritual.
You finally see, at the last possible second before the next breath, that there is something watching you from behind one of the four pillars in the room. It stood opposite the torchlight, attempting to stay hidden but clearly emanating a light purple glow.
The Orc puts himself before you and the birds, screaming at them. When the first squawks towards it, it kicks it in the face and sends it flying back. It stands to its feet and scrawls its arms out, joining the other three in their screams. They appear ready for combat, but are waiting for something...
The rest of you hear muffled groans and shrieks, going on much longer than expected. Whatever on the other side turning to quiet a battle. As it went on, the gem above the gate began to glow. Now a full, through admittingly dull, orange light shined from within.
Morbidly curious, but also determined to help Grahl if needed, Onyx stepped around to have a clear view through the door. He readied his magic, in case the woman tried to rush outside the room.
You see Grahl, Urithag, a bird creature like before in the tunnel, and several other figures and things you cannot make out. You can see the room is well lit, HUGE compared to the others, and that there's some kind of water on the floor where the bird is.
Arbon looks back at the fiendish goats, considering whether they are indeed safe enough to leave alone now. He steps out of the Horse doorway and closes the door firmly. Watching the gem's glow brighten, he moves over to the Plague Doctor doorway, standing in the doorway to watch over his fellow dungeon-delvers and make sure nothing was coming from behind them, such as the witch Grahl had spoken of or the carnivorous goats.
Seeing so many of the bird creatures surprises Grahl. The same creatures that tried to mock him earlier. He grips his axe firmly as he sees the first bird charge Urithag, readying himself for battle.
As the birds do not launch their attack Grahl will not yet either. Perhaps only one will fight Urithag to test him. Grahl will not deny the orc the change of revenge on such a creature.
Looking further into the huge room he finally notices the creature in the corner. Unsure of its intensions Grahl gazes at him a moment. Seeing so many possible enemies Grahl steps forward standing next to Urithag looking at him with a smirk and a nod. Die well brother. He says before looking back to the birds and lifting his axe up preparing for what is about to come. His heart starts beating faster as the thrill of battle takes hold of him. Feeling the adrenaline rush through him he cant help but smirk, it is a good feeling. The few moments between this point and the actual battle are to Grahl what would be waiting for christmas morning to a child.
As Arbon stood in the doorway, he somewhat obstructed Onyx's view from near the Eaten Apple door. At the same time, he beheld what Onyx and Grahl had seen...
You see in an obscured cone many things. First, Grahl and Urithags backs. A couple of the bird creatures from before. The back wall-and the pillars holding up this MASSIVE room, nearly four times the size of the others. There's several other figures in the room, but you can't quiet make them out-there is a massive squawking and large amounts of feathers though...

A creature from the back of the plague mask room sang out in a low melodic tone, "So, you are the Orc that my sister dreads enough to finally speak to me. Do tell, are you actually brothers? Family can be such an obligation." The figure gestures with a hand over the forehead. "You and I will eventually die for them, yes? But not today."
(Grahl)
It stretches out it's arm away from the bird it was blessing, It "Come out , they know you're back there, tell them what's going on, I'm sure they'll understand." It gestures to your battle ready posture. It lowers his arms and the birds stand down-even the one Urithag kicked in the face. They return to eating worms.
"You're really going to let them kill me?" a much nasally, female shouted, from within the Plague mask room. "did you know they were coming to free him?!"
Urithag's voice penetrates the conversation, "BIRDS OR NO BIRDS, YOU DIE WOMAN!"
22 Woman 4Urithag
Urithag will summon a hollow blue wooden shaft with a translucent steel spear tip. He will attempt to stab her with it.
26 against AC:17 Damage: 7
When he does, however, she is able to strike first and shoot off magic missile. 7
Both hits land, both take some damage, both are unfazed.
(Roll initiative to join this fight, else, one of them will kill the other without intervention.)
(Grahl, Arbon)
The birds and figure at the back of the room are acting like none of this just took place. They haven't a care in the world about any of it.
Grahl will move forward a few steps and say to Arbon Wait, let orc fight for honor.
He will move in between of where the two are fighting and the birds, ready to fight the birds should they go to defend the woman.
Grahl will stand sideways to watch the fight and the birds, shifting his gaze every few seconds. Does Grahl recognize this woman? I assume it is not the woman Grahl got the keys from.

(It is. Grahl would recognize the voice, even if the appearance has drastically changed from a slender white haired woman into some kind of glowing purple creature.)
(Also, does Grahl's plea land well with Arbon? Does Arbon halt or continue attacking the woman?)
Arbon looks between the woman, Urithag, and Grahl, visibly conflicted about wanting to join the fight and Grahl asking him to leave the orc to fight by himself. However, trusting Grahl's word, he holds on attacking, but watches the woman, and the birds, closely.

Chazrael continues to watch in silence.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
