Brother Cyrus watches the Rogue with great interest.
The orc being cut by the Halfling screams in pain a few times, but stays mostly unconscious. The ogrekin doesn't do much, other than watch the operation. Eventually he pushes the last three boxes out of the dissection room and closes the door, taking time to simply growl "Take boxes up!".
The halfling at no point takes his eyes off of his "patient". He seems to barely notice (or care about) the world around him.
About 30 minutes later, you can hear a somewhat large group stomping in the room upstairs. A few muffled words are traded between the new-comers and the one conscious man upstairs, and soon after it's possible to hear the sound of bodies being dragged outside.
The metal door is pushed at some point, but as expected, fails to open. A grunt is heard and a few words are exchanged between the men outside.
Moments later, a third voice speaks with an imposing tone.
"Whoever you are... You're better off opening this door. You've already caused too much headache for a day."
"Why don't you come down and we'll sort this out!" Kadir calls up to the men upstairs, pointing his rifle up the stairs and gesturing up. "Looks like we're trapped gentlemen."
"Well... For one... You seem to have barred the door" replies one of the men "Second. You're the uninvited guests. You are the one trespassing... And of course, you're the ones trapped in the basement."
"We can leave whenever we want. We just don't want to."
I put the bear trap behind that door.
"True... you can indeed leave whenever you want. You shouldn't even be here in the first place. But when you do leave, we're going to have a talk... You can drop your weapons and talk like civilized men... Or you can try to outlast us... I somehow don't see that going very well for you..."
"I carry no weapons."
"Ok lets just hurry up and finish this damn monster before they break through!" Kadir runs up to the door where the traps are set, carefully stepping around the bear traps, he bangs the butt of his gun on the door and calls out, "Hey get our here ugly we need your help stupid!"
As Kadir approaches the room with the dissection room, the enormous ogrekin blocks his path.
"No more boxes! You no enter!" it says with a guttural voice. The halfling remains indifferent to the world around him and instead focuses most of his attention to the few orcs remaining in the cell.
Meanwhile, one of the voices from the other side of the door replies to Tai Leng's remark.
"Well... If you don't carry weapons, it shouldn't be difficult for you to come out unarmed and with your hands in the air. Ask your friends to do the same and we can have a civilized conversation face-to-face. This door thing is too impersonal for my tastes..."
Cyrus shifts nervously.
"Couldn't we just bring the guard down on this place? It's not like they'll be able to get all this junk out without anyone noticing?"
Kadir comes to a halt and nods dumbly at the Ogrekin, "Uh sure thing, uh boss." then tries to peer past the Ogrekin to catch a glance in the room.
Before stepping back, Kadir notices a small but noticeable breeze weakly blowing the Halfling's hair. Most likely caused by a nearby tunnel.
A loud bang can be heard at the door.
"Last chance, boys... If you make me open this door, you'll regret it."
"There's another way out! Follow me!" he calls before running through the door, further into the basement. "There's a fire in the upstairs we gotta get out!" he says to the Ogrekin.
There is a hidden door near the insane Halfling . It's built to accommodate small creatures, making it impossible to move at normal speed , but you can crawl without difficulty.
"Fire?! No! Fire bad!" The ogrekin seems unusually scared by the prospect of fire. "Where did boss leave small potion?" he shouts at the Halfling, who fails to acknowledge his plight even now. "WHERE?" roars the monsters. The Halfling sighs and just murmurs a barely comprehensible "Dunno", causing the brute to run to the door and pound it with his club.
"What the f@!@?!" shouts one of the voices outside.
"Well that turned out well." Leng says, and follows the others through the tunnel.
You can hear a man shouting from the basement you just left...
Out of my way, you huge doofus! Where are them?!
The ogrekin's only reply is a timid grunt... After that you hear the voice shouting far more clearly. Anyone who looks back can see a man with dark hair and light armor at the tunnel's entrance.
"I see you. You better run!"
- I think I have a -4 for throwing it while crawling.
The man calmly swats the vial aside. The flames are find only cold stone, and are unable to burn for more than a few seconds...
"So this is how you want to play, huh?" says the man as he pulls a slim object from his belt. "Let's see hoe you like it."
The man points the wand at your party and says a couple mystical words. A bright red orb flies towards you and quickly expands in an burning flash once it reaches you.
Brother Cyrus pulses healing energy for the group.
"Just a passing pain no more!" He says with grit teeth.
We keep moving
The tunnel is 5ft wide, forcing you to walk in a line. It seems to be some sort of emergency escape tunnel, but obviously not designed for human use.
"Should we follow them?" says the first.
"No, replies the voice of the dark haired man with the wand of Fireball. We can't fight in there. We can barely fit in this thing! Where does this tunnel lead?"
"Uh... We... don't know... says the first voice, timidly.
"WHAT?! How the f@#@ can you not know?"
"Well... We never went in... And the halfling doesn't speak anything coherent..."
"F*%%ing idiots... Go! Tell the men to find out where this thing ends! It can't be too far!"
650ft later, you find a locked metal door. A mundane one, though. Nothing like the one you found back in the house.
Eitylen quickly picks the simple lock, and you found yourself in the backyard of what seems to be an old abandoned house. A quick glance at the nearby buildings reveals that you're about 2 blocks away from the laboratory.
We should make an anonymous note to the guards telling them where to find the halfling lab...
Eitylen climb to the roof to see if the bandits are coming this way.
