Revenge is Best Served Cold

   On the basis that it would be difficult to get hooded prisoners over the pit (unless there was some covering or something), Gjigume searches the area with the sarcophagi and associated rooms.

OOC: Perception 16.

Igneous:"hay, maybe one of those keys can open the locked door in the sarcophagus room

(I tried. I presume Gijigume finds the northern passage.)

 All the thugs you have been fighting are humans

 "I can speak the common human language, "replies Thar, "if that is what you are asking.  But not in the crude dialect of most humans I have encountered."

Are the cloaks by any chance hooded?  If not Thar will tear a strip of fabric from one of them and tie a headband to cover his ears.  Hopefully at a distance at least this could fool an enemy.

 Gijigume finds a secret door at the north of the area opposite the weapon storage area. Opening it you see:

This area is the north end of a large natural cavern, but it has been finished with dressed stone block walls and a flagstone floor. Several barrels are stored against the walls here, along with a number of empty crates, straw for packing, hammers, pry bars, and nails.

The cavern continues for some distance to the south. You can make out several passages that open up off the larger cavern, and what looks like a deep pit or crevasse in the floor.

 If the closest of the side passages is no more than 40' away Thar will move to the entrance to the passage and see what can be seen, otherwise he will stay near the crates.  He will not go into the passages.

Fah'lin grabs a crowbar and cracks open a couple of crates.

Fah'lin wonders how he'd look in a beaver hat before he moves along after Thar.

Fah'lin supposes he may as well use his divine power to wash away his minor aches from a long day. (Lay on Hands 1 hp)

"We are not alone," intones Thar as he spies the creature.  It looks a little too fierce for him so he slowly retreats to the group always keeping the creature in sight.  "Down there behind the pillar."

If able, Fah'lin pulls off his shield and tries out this new cross-bow hitting AC 22 for 5 piercing (anyone who wishes to interject or assist should be able to see clearly what's about to happen.)

(Edit: except for that last part, with any luck nobody saw that.)

The creature scuttles from behind the pillar up toward the group and goes behind another pillar. The terrain is such that one person can make melee attacks against it, everyone else will have to use range weapons or spells. It has three quarter cover (+5 AC) vs range attacks.

Igneous feels a strange magical effect make a DC 12 Constitution save or take 13 necrotic damage. It doesn't really matter what order you go in unless you want to fight it out to see who gets the melee attack.

Thar will definitely not be the one doing the melee attack.. He will use his sling - Attack: 9 Damage: 7

Fah'lin will let Grond have the melee. He tosses the crossbow aside. "Sights are off" (shall I act?)
