Yurggen is always ready to go. He's saving up his gold for something.
Valynie is ready
You have the map. Where do you want to go next? I assume you are done shopping.
Let's try to go south at the crossing
Kwin will take his usually position behind Kaduk, ready with Feather Fall should his friend need it. Once back to the lion room, Kwin will ask Do you need me for part of this, or shall I keep watch?
Stay close, friend. Let the reae keep watch.
You make pause in the long hall in order to let Kaduk scout the area. The lioness is still there with her cubs, but she can't see him in the dark. (The room is dimly lit from the left, but the corridor where Kaduk is standing is in darkness.)
Ka'kara charges forth and stabs the otherworldly impostor just as she is preparing to do something awful to Mahaffy. Lyria profits by the occasion to sneak away to get some help.
The not-Elinda screams in pain and her hand, which was glowing blue, fades. She now turns her fury at Ka'kara, but you all get to act first.

Kaduk observes the lioness unseen. What are you going to do about it? Will you try to get past it (with or without resorting to violence) or would you prefer to go somewhere else?
I am tired of pussyfooting around this lioness. Let's either kill her, and move forward, or find somewhere else to explore". "There's lots of places we haven't gone yet".
Throw her some food scraps and we'll be on our way.
So where are you going?
Kaduk, a while back we came to a four way intersection, but we didn't go any further and I can't recall why. Perhaps we should try that way for a while.
As you approach the intersection, you notice how this dark, dank corridor smells of mold. The walls occasionally boast an interesting stone of bluish hue here and there, but upon closer examination, its just some kind of slimy coating probably better left alone. Something as large as a mastiff, but with far more legs scuttles around the corner, a long barbed tail ready to strike!
Roll for initiative! Map coming up.

"What the heck is that thing"?
It's a scorpion, probably a spawn of the large one, since it shares the same coloration, but fortunately it's smaller, only the size of a large dog. There is another one in the corridor to the right.
You all beat its (their) initiative. Awaiting initiatives from Makedonia and Selina. If you beat 5, you can act too.
Valynie move to K29 and fires an arrow at the scorpion at F30
Great, more non-evil creatures! Why did you send me here, my goddess? Selina charges the scorpion to the left.
I think Yurggen can make it to N20 and attack without drawing an AoO.
Warhammer Attack
Warhammer damage...as if...
Kwin moves to K30 and launches a telekinetic fist at the one in F30.

Damage
Kaduk breaks into a charge towards the nearest scorpion.
attack:
damage:
Kaduk destroys one of the scorpions while Selina wounds another badly. Missiles fly and Yurggen's hammer pounds on the chitinous shell. Makedonia delays.
The surviving scorpion gives Selina a vicious pinch for 2 points of damage. Another scorpion appears to the east.
You are up again. Map updated above.
Kaduk advances to Q30, attacking the newcomer.
attack:
damage:
Selina takes another swing at the scorpion with her elven blade.
Move to I30 and try another telekinetic fist at the G30 scorpion.

Roaring in rage Yurggen strikes again...

Valynie will move to O29 and fire at the scorpion in R29
Possible crit !!
Kwin knocks one of the scorpions out, while Valynie shoots the other right between the eyes. With uncanny resilience, though, it continues to advance, grasping and stinging poor Kaduk for 7 points of damage (and a Fort 14 save). Makedonia still delays.
Then it is your turn again.
Makedonia moves behind Kaduk, muttering a strange incantation. She then pulls out one of the claws dangling on her staff and uses it to scratch the back of his armor.
Valynie will hold her action , all her comrades being now in melee and also to savour her incredible shot
His frustration growing, Yurggen swings his paltry hammer again.
Warhammer Attack
And finally the beast manages to run under his wild swing.
Warhammer Damage
Yurggen smashes the last scorpion and all is silent again.
There is a wooden door ahead in the intersection. On your left there is a door in the left wall, and the corridor turns to the left after about 40 feet. To the right it widens into some sort of room. There seems to be a dead body in it.
Which way would you prefer?
Now, left, right or the door ahead?
Makedonia notices the dead body and starts advancing toward it slowly.
Kwin stays close behind Makedonia as she starts toward the body. Any signs indicating how old it may be?
Yurggen advances as well looking around for any trap triggers or bad guys, as that might have been what took down the body they were advancing on.
Perception
"Be cautious". "what took this poor fellow down might still be active".
The corpse, which is of an elf, is relatively fresh and mostly eaten. Conceivably it was killed by the scorpions but it is hard to tell because of its condition. It wears a serviceable chain shirt amid the tattered rags of clothing, and a masterwork rapier lies nearby. 13 gp, 49 sp, 19 cp, and a set of thieves’ tools lie scattered around the shredded remains of a leather bag.
The corridor continues past the room. Will you?
Makedonia winces as she sees the corpse. Her eyes move quickly around the room, noting the few items of interest in it. As nothing seems interesting for her (assuming whatever is left of the leather bag is empty), she shrugs and continues to move along the corridor.
Kaduk looks around the dead corpse. Thinking that the chain shirt looks better on him he swaps out current studded leather. The rest of the loot he packs into his backpack.
Perception: +1 for trapfinding
