Unphazed by the hit, Rhyfedd continues his attacks.
Kela waddles forward and pushes the water in front of her as hard as she can at the nearest grindylow.
Elia moved up with the group, trying to get a good angle on the approaching grindylow.
Ebirah takes half a second to steady himself before lunging again.
Lorelei fires off an icicle at the closest Grindylow.
As the party advances, Kela and Rhyfedd each striking down a grindylow, the remaining three suddenly jet backwards further down the tunnel looking nervous.
"Look out for that tripwire at the tunnel mouth, everyone!"
Bhookaaj advances towards the retreating Grindilow and shoots at the nearest one:
Lorelei looks around the tunnel as she throws another icicle at a Grindylow. "I wonder if there is anyway to just collapse this tunnel and trap anything in it, down here for good."
Kela summons the water around her, churning it in her hands. Using all her might, she hurls it at one of the grindylows.
"Likely not," Elia put in, "There'll be other ways in and out."
Given the warning about the tripwire, she stayed clear of it, pausing to take stock. No sense in getting baited into traps for the sake of a pursuit.
"Should we pursue?" Ebirah asks, part of him itching for blood, and another rational part of him concerned.
As the party avoid the tripwire, Bhookaaj hits one with his crossbow and the other 2 jet around another corner and out of sight.
"I suppose that they likely do have another entrance or two, but there's a strong likelihood that there are more traps down in their tunnel. So we need to decide if we want to go in there after them or wait for them to come out for us later on."
"We should follow and clear them out."
"Make sure we don't have any more trouble from that direction..."
Bhookaaj will follow, carefully, with his crossbow ready:
Bhookaaj explores further, but doesn't find the grindylows. He does find another two branching passages, one of which seems to suddenly drop off into deeper water.
Valdern and Rhyfedd carefully avoid the tripwire and head further in the cave next to Bhookaaj. "See anything?" He tries to get a sense of where the enemies might have run off to.
"Better make sure this trap doesn't give us grief again later."
Bhookaaj will try to undo/disable the tripwire:
As Bhookaaj disables the trap, a larger group of grindylows swims through the eastern passage. One of them hits Ebirah with its spear.
"Where do those come from?" Valdern heads back toward the entrance. "Hang in there Ebirah."
Rhyfedd quickly head for the first grindylow. He rushes a bit too much to get there and his precision of his attack suffer from it.
Lorelei will move up behind Ebirah and cast cure light wounds upon him.
With the grindylow having obligingly come in close, Elia moved up to hit the group with another blast from the wand. Or at least as many of them as she could get without the blast hitting any of her friends.
Ebriah lunges at the Grindylow that attacked him.
Lorelei will cast Bless upon her group.

Seeing the new group of Grindilow come up, Bhookaaj moves back into the fray:
Kela rushes in and pushes another blast of water at the nearest grindylow. [/b] "How many of these things are there?" [/b] she growls.
Bhookaaj runs through one grindylow, and Elia manages to stun another with her wand, but the rest of the party can't seem to land an attack. Most of the grindylows go for Bhookaaj, two hitting him with their spears.
Rhyfedd attacks the grindylows. The first attack packs quite a punch, but the second misses the agile target.
Valdern tries his best to stab again with his spear, but misses again.
Having taken a beating, Bhookaaj has annother stab at the nearest Grindilow ...
... and having missed horribly, he backs up 5 ft diagonally, behind Rhyfedd
Ebirah lunges again.
Lorelei moves up a bit and flings an icicle at the grindylow closest to her.
Elia, meanwhile, darted forward, hand crackling with electricity, and grabbed at the closest of the grindylow.
Rhyfedd downs another grindylow, and Kela creates a strong wave that smashes a second against the cave wall. The grindylow on Ebirah responds by knocking him off balance and striking with its spear in the opening.
Kela continues her assault on the nearest vile little creature. She was beginning to think there must have been a better island for this colony....
Bhookaaj ties stabbing the nearest Grindilow again ...
Rhyfedd continues his assault, trying to clear his way to the rest of the group.
Valdern moves next to Kela and tries his longspear again.
The two dwarves dispatch the remaining grindylows and the cave is peaceful again, the waves softly lapping against the cave walls. It is a simple task to part the unconscious grindylow from its spear, but its sharp teeth are a different matter...
