Regin closes on the only remaining foe and attacks!
Seeing the last creature was grappled by Namtar, Trib calls out "Should we question tha bloke." Just as he was speaking, Regin Ald smashes the things face, Tribim winces "Never mind, yeah."
With the only remaining hostile creature grappled and beaten, the elf drops down to examine the creature he had helped to fell. He inspects the body, looking for anything that would help tell them more about these creatures (and any valuables too, of course).
Dommer limits himself to simply hit the last creature with his devastating infusion again, if he's still up.
This time the earthen Warhammer seems to connect and the geokineticist hits with strength.
This time the earthen Warhammer connected, bringing all the Dommer's strength with it. The eyeless man staggered, blood gushing from his new head wound, but refused to fall.
Seeing things well in hand, Arundel turned to the bodies of the fallen. He finds their bodies marked by patches of scalelike scars, occasionally embedded with bits of glinting stone. Their only clothes are close fitting, snakeskin breechclouts and smocks.
As the elf looked at the bodies, Regin struck and added the last man to their number...just as Tribim suggested keeping him alive for questioning.
Tribim walks up and looks at the now silenced prisoner, "Well he probably didn't have much ta say anyway." Turning away so he doesn't start to puke.
While Arundel checks the bodies, Tribim starts to inspect the cave itself, looking for anything interesting.

The cave proved disappointingly bare, boasting only rocks, dust, and the usual. He found a few spots where it looked like someone had cleared spots to sit, but nothing of any value.
Namtar grins as he's covered in blood from his foe's broken head. Well done, Masters!
Indeed, well done everyone. That was exciting! Regin says. He cleans his gear with a wave and a spell.
Namtar leaves the blood on his face. He's had more, and it calms him, reminding him of the arena. He half expects to hear the crowds roaring his name, but satisfies himself with a few stretches.
Despite the call of memory, the slave-warrior still searches about the room for any signs of danger or what manner of creature these were.

Namtar found nothing untoward of of particular note, save the bodies themselves. There was, however, the tunnel pressing onward from here.
Rolling his neck, Amarekashu smiled. Sometimes it was a pleasure to enjoy the physical side of existence. Like Regin, he cast Prestidigitation to clean himself and his clothing. It was an unusual spell for someone with his powers to know, but useful for this.
Watching as Namtar checked the bodies and found nothing, the Bronze gestured to the others. "Onwards?"
'No reason to stand here staring at dead bodies/' Tribin nods his head, "May as well." and begins moving down the hallway sending his dancing lights ahead, keeping a keen eye out.
Regin nods and follows with weapons drawn.
Namtar grins and flexes his muscles, working the life back into them. Onward it is,then, Masters. He cracks his neck and then followed the freemen down the tunnel.
Not finding anything of interest in the bodies he examined, the elf stands back up with a quick shake of the head. "Alright, then." He readies himself to head further down the tunnel with the group.
Dommer grunts and moves with the others, trying to be a little closer to the front of the group - his small and slow legs made it challenging for him, though.

With the lights preceding them, Zummabu's Company press on. It isn't long before shouts and snarls echo up the winding, descending tunnel from somewhere below.
'Well that's a lot closer than I expected, I hope who ever is doing the grunting see's as well as the blokes we just left.' Tribim stops the lights, then turning he asks,
"Tha lights may have given us away unless tha grunters can't see, do ya want me ta press on, or do ya want me ta kill tha lights and let someone who can see in tha dark lead?"
Tribim, unintentionally lets his eyes rest of Dommer as he asks about 'someone who can see in the dark.'
'Aye' will walk by 'ya', young man. - said the geokineticist, taking point by the side of the trapfinder - The big guy can be right behind us. - he completed, nodding to Namtar.
Tribim nods excitedly, as he pulls the lights back and turns them out. planning to follow behind Namtar.
Namtar nods grimly and readied himself to fight and, if necessary, die for his Masters. I cannot see in the dark, but I shall do my best.
Staying in the reargard position, Amarekashu kept his eye out for trouble from both directions.
Tribim shrugs his shoulders and asks, "Shall we all just stay together with tha lights and the big guys up front? Then give 'em what for."
The elf nods at Trib's suggestion. "It turned out well against this group," gesturing toward the downed bodies, "might as well keep it rolling."
Zummabu's company descended a winding path further into the earth, coming soon to a wider chamber which opened on a ledge fronting a yawning gash in the rock, stretching past sight in either direction and plunging to an unknown depth, but only twenty or so feet at its widest. There stood another of the eyeless men, with two hairless, vile things that resembled dogs.
Namtar flexes his neck and loosens his shoulders. He with grim smile he steps forward, muscles tense and arms wide. He reaches out and grabs at the blind monster.
move forward
initiate grapple
Unable to get a straight line to charge through, once again Amarekashu entered his Dragon Style form and moved up, position himself to attack on the next turn.
'is that a pet dog?' Tribin moves forward seeing the fourth humanoid and the animals with it. "Look Namtar, a boy and his dogs" Seeing the dogs, Trib casts electrical ray at the nearest one.
Regin moves up and to the left flank to engage one of the beasts there.

Arundel makes his way forward, and tries to keep the second dog from entering the fray. He casts a spell, gesturing toward the dog not currently engaged with anyone, and a slick surface of grease appears on the ground below the beast.

Dommer moves forward, trying to prepare himself for yet another combat, as small pebbles start flying around him. Assuming his Bear Aspect, he finally releases the rocks in an devastating infusion against the dog that Arundel tried to grease, as if throwing a giant hammer of stone with both hands.
Namtar flexed his neck and loosened his shoulders. With grim smile he stepped forward, muscles tense and arms wide. He reached out and grabs at the blind monster, seizing it firmly in his arms.

Dommer moved forward, trying to prepare himself for yet another combat, as small pebbles started flying around him. Assuming his Bear Aspect, he finally released the rocks in an devastating infusion, as if throwing a giant hammer of stone with both hands. The force of his strike flew wide, smashing into the wall just to the side and rear of the dog.
Regin followed on, moving up and to the left flank to engage one of the the dog Trib wounded. The harm the halfling had done to the creature did not slow it. Instead it ducked his attacks and snapped back.

Arundel maked his way forward and tried to keep the second dog from entering the fray. He casts a spell, gesturing toward the dog not currently engaged with anyone, and a slick surface of grease appeared on the ground below the beast. It danced back out of the spread while its fellow took a deep bite out of Regin.
The eyeless man tried to throw off Namtar's mighty, skilled grip. The Champion of Dalath held firm! He had bested better countless times.
And we begin with a grapple. Don't see that often. Now he just needs to reverse it and toss Namtar off the ledge. Or they could go over together.
Either way, Dude's grappled.
saved.
The dice really hate the party this round. Arundel's area is marked all the same.
Dog1 tries to get out of the grease.
It's out.
Dog2 goes for Regin
hit
Guy tries to get out of the grapple.
nope
Regin pivots to protect his now wounded leg and brings his mace down on the dog's head.
Namtar locks his bulging arms about his foe's arms, pinning them to its sides as he slams his forehead into the brute's nose, crushing it. Blood rains down his face and Namtar laughs in the sheer joy of being physical and reveling in the strength of his mighty thews!
The Father of Victories will smile on us this day as I give to him this offering of glorious battle!
Dommer 5-foot-steps and once again an infusion of pure earth forms on his hands, taking the shape of a dwarven Warhammer as he lets it go on the closer dog.
'lets see if we can't give Regin Ald some help with the dog.' Tribim taps Regin Ald on the leg as the tumbles past. "Keep him distracted, I'll lop of his tail." As Tribim tumbles past the dog he ejects his dagger from the spring loaded wrist sheath, landing behind the dog he slashes at the tendons in it's legs.
Charging forwards again, Amarekashu attempted to bludgeon the one Namtar held.

Dommer steped forward and once again an infusion of pure earth formed on his hands, taking the shape of a dwarven Warhammer as he lets it go on the closer dog. Once more, his strike flew clear of the dog entirely.
Regin pivoted and moved around Arundel's grease on his now wounded leg, bringing his mace down on the other dog's head. fell dead to the ground.
An instant later, Amarekashu burst forward with inhuman speed, dashing open the skull of the eyeless man that Namtar held fast. The ledge fell silent.
'Well the spring loaded wristband worked well.' Wiping the blood off of his dagger on the dead dog, Tribim reloaded his wrist sheath winking at Regin, "It's nice when tha gear works tha way it's supposed to." Then whistling a happy little tune, moving his fairy lights around he inspects the room and then the ledge, lowering the lights to there length to try and find the bottom.
