Tweaker sees them helping the armored man climbed and wondering if the water was a type of torture. He is impaled on spikes and not likely to be able to free himself. If rope passed to him then he points to a spike and then his leg and back.
Andrea waves to John and starts pointing at the other person in the pit.
Edit: So after John gets the man unspiked he can help push him up the rope.
John certainly would have helped you unimpale yourself, he'd even give you a cure light.
Tweaker attempts to go slowly and pull himself up the rope after the man in armor helps him with some healing magic.
He thanks the group at the top when he reaches it and waits to say so to the armored man as well. He does move to a safe wall and slide down it.

You make it the first part fo the way.
Andrea lets the big strong men help them up

Just feel those bulging muscles Fiosa. Don't you just want towrap yourself around him?
you are able to get up using the rope and the wall. Once out of the pit you have sound again, you are not deaf!
Tweaker gives his thanks and does moves to a safe wall to slide down it.
You can see the carnage of three dead hellhounds nearby and through the door are several bodies of tieflings. One you recognize as a leader, he was a sorcerer by the name of Ostengo.
"Andrea, perhaps you can see if he's alright?" Orsin offers, looking at the wet, bloodied half-elf.
Andrea checks out the newcomer. Just who are you and why were you in that pit?
Andrea pulls out a CLW potion for the half-elf to drink if Orsin thinks he is OK.
Name is Tweaker. Was hired to make traps for this place but was enslaved and forced to finish the job. The pit was the pay for finishing Tweaker slowly allows the healing potion to cover his lips and flow down his throat.
I feel much better now thank you though still sick. It is probably from being down in the pit and no food or drink. I know that you have the leader laying on the ground out there.
Tweaker leans back against the wall and rest.
Well it looks like your lucky day. I am Andrea and I am here with my friends to finish off the Bastards for royally pissing us off Andrea looks over at the one laid out. The leader of The Bastards? Fellow named Pavleen? I heard that name once.
Bastards? Who are they? I was just hired to help make their place secure against crime that was getting out of hand. They wanted burning hands trap on the front door and the pit trapsss here. I even suggested the silence spell to go over the false floor illusion. The one over there Tweaker points at the leader is the leader of the group. I don't remember names at the moment after being robbed and put to work.
Tweaker asks if there is more water or possibly some hard tack to chew on.
Andrea gets a waterskin from the others and hands it to Tweaker. The Bastards of Erebus. A tiefling run gang that has been kidnapping and murdering nobles in westcrown. Andre also gets some hardtack or rations for Tweaker.
I suspect that if they have anyone then it would be after these pit traps. I did not see much of the place as just been working here to get thrown in when they were done. Glad I did not suggest for them to poison the spikes. Tweaker tries to smile at the attempt at a joke but it looks more like a frown.
I will help however I can. I will be at a small disadvantage without my gear but should be able to help with some locks and possibly traps if you want my help. Thank you for all your group has done for me and that is all I can do to pay you back at the moment.
Andrea helps strip the 'mummy' of it's gear
tanglefoot bag, two potions of CLW, 1 potion of CMW, masterwork studded leather, masterwork dagger, simple thieve's tools
This will no doubt help for now until you get your gear back.
Thank you. The tools will be the greatest boon. Hope Tiny is ok. His tools for building traps were what I used. I will do what I can to be off help in a fight.
Tweaker cleans off the gore the best he can before donning the armor.
Duncan puts his bow away and draws his bastard sword again. Let's get goin. We only got a few spells left an' the longer we wait the more prepared they are getting. John, get yeself sorted out an you an me in front. The sneak can check fer traps, then git outta me way. Ye ain't proper geared and I ain't gonna stop swinging ta look after ye. Ye can finish off any tieflings we drop.
Wouldn't your warhammer be more appropriate? A good solid thunk of a blunt object sounds much more satisfying. Or beat them down with your cestus! They utterly unworthy of staining your best blade with their blood!

Orsin affectionately crooks his arm around Andrea's and gently yanks on her to pull her out of her vengeful reverie. He addresses the priestess with relaxed sarcasm. "Calm down, Calistria. So long as we kill them, that's all that matters."
I..er..I think I will need a nice nap and hot bath after this is over. Andrea looks ashamed of herself and the danger she has put Janiven in.
Calistria? I didn't notice what type of priestess she was before. I have to concur that I could use a nap and bath. Who skin is this? I have not been called a sneak before. I am someone who enjoys working with traps. Just let me know when you are ready. About the pit traps. They are located at...
Tweaker shares his knowledge of the hallway. He awaits for everyone to get together and proceed. He continues to chew on the food while waiting though not eating much. Seems like he might have experienced not having food and water before.
As far as the set up of the tunnel, you know there are various exits leading out of the tunnel which wrap around into a center core room. Those exits go into some of the buildings nearby, you trapped one of the buildings. Just keep verring right and the tunnel will end into a big room.
You see another two other tiefings head through the door to your left. You've counted the leader and four thugs, so far.
Make a perception check.
As Tweaker leads the group through a side tunnel, it becomes clear that this is different construction. The walls and floor are roughly dug and not polished as before. About mid-way in tunnel there are stairs on the left leading up but he shakes his and points forwards where there is a sharp right hand turn. He waves Duncan to move up.
Everyone can make a Perception check, including Lucrezia.
"Shall I yell my head off with you? Maybe throw something any bastard running by..." Lucrezia looks for anything to throw, like that rock they threw at them eariler.
As soon as it looks like they are casting with that wand, Lucrezia throws whatever she can find at them and yells as loudly as she can. "They have a wand of darkness! There are two m@#$%f%%^# tiefling bastards at the tunnel entrance."

The tunnel the group is coming through is dark with no natural light. Other than Duncan a light source is needed. Towards the end of the tunnel it appears to be even darker.
She grimaces after the first attempt her hands hurting form the rope.
She eventually slips her knot too. Her human eyes unable to see far.
Duncan is unable to hear much other then squeeking chainmail which sounds like nails on a chalk board.
Andrea squints as her gaze is blocked by the column of people ahead of her.
I heard a woman yell "They have a wand of darkness! There are two m@#$%f%%^# tiefling bastards at the tunnel entrance."

"Cut the wenches throats next time." a male's voice rumbles.
"Ye k'epye trapshut or else,"the deep voice growls at Lucrezia. You can barely make out the darker shadow given the lighting.
Sounds Promising. John, Stay right by me side
Duncan casts Light and touches John behind him, both allowing the Humans to see and marking the big man as an anchor for the group. He Then moves down the tunnel Shield up and looking for an attack
Tell me if the marching order works.
Marching Order Map rounding south ben.
The Cooridinates are a bit messed up laying onto the Paizo map but you get the idea.
As the rescuers round the bend three bolts whiz by and two small balls of magical light hit.
The first pierces the dwarves bicept.
The balls of energy strike John and Duncan.
Each causing pain.
Duncan you can see parts of four tieflings, three holding crossbows on either side of the tunnel. Two on your left, one on your right looking south down the tunnel. There is, also, another mummy looking tiefling in the rear with some cover for the wall. He has a wand but the glowingenergy came from his fingers.
John has less light and can only make out one figure in the dim light.
If she gets melee'd, she will defensivly use Copycat (1 Mirror Image for 3 rounds 6uses) and fight with her mace
If she gets wounded she will drink a CLW potion (5 of them)

I will put the map up when more light in in the tunnel on John's move or if another light source is lit and brought forth.
NOTE: I orginally typed this Init out in the discussion thread, when I realized the error I copied and pasted it on the game thread but it reshuffled the Init order. I'm sticking my the original order in the discussion thread. I don't want to retype the order out.
