Moving up right behind Khaz, Lorena tries to stab at the frontmost mongrelman with her spear, but she can't get a hit in through the traffic.
Carson ducks out and behind a few of his allies, not risking taking another hit.
Firinn moves so he can get a shot the purple clothed Mongrel.
Firinn lands a almost lethal blow to the Mongrel on Khaz's left
Unhappy with the distribution of people on the battlefield, Terry chooses to fire at the opponent on the far left, since it seems to be the shot with the fewest of his companions in the arrow's flight path . . ..
”It didn’t have to be like this!” He felt a spray of blood as his axe hit again. He had sworn to himself that he would do all that he could to get him and his companions to the surface...and it was proving to be a far bloodier affair than he had hoped.
Lorena continues to strike at the frontmost mongrelman, her attacks closer to hitting the mark this time.
The Mongrels all swing their weapons with the intent to kill, snarls and what you think may be snarls upon their mutated faces. The Leader nocks and arrow and Fires at Khaz.
Seeing the leader with a bow of their own Firinn aims and fires, as Rionnag swoops over the melee to attack.
The gigantic butterfly buffets the mongrel leader with her wings as Firinn's shot flies wide.
Terry shoots the Mongrel that Khaz attacked hoping to focus fire, Terry just cannot get a shot around the bulky form of Khaz
Frustrated by her own incompetence, Lorena turns and stabs even more wildly at a different mongrelman from behind Khaz, letting out a guttural cry as she finally connects.
Carson is trained in avoiding allies with his spear projectiles and flings one in between folks at one of the mongrels attacking Khaz.
+1 bleed
Between Carson and Lorena down two of the Mongrels, one is out cold on the floor. The leader looks at the situation and flees further into the complex.
The blue clothed Mongrel swings at Khaz, the swing goes wide as the mongrel seeing its leader leave and its fellows go down.
Firinn takes aim and fires at the fleeing mongrel leader, feeling no compunction about shooting the dangerous being in the back.
Firinn's shot just clips the back of the leader as she retreats through the door and away from the fight.
Turning to the last standing mongrelman, Khaz swung his axe...
...it hit home. He hoped that it would be enough to drop it. They would have to move quickly before the entire warren came down on them.
Terry moves up to get a more clear shot before trying one more time.
Carson hesitates on hitting the remaining mongrel with another spear, not wanting to do more than incapacitate them. They were just following orders.
Khaz drives the final mongrelman down, Terry's shot goes just over the head of it as it drops from the heavy blade killing it.
"One is still alive but Wenduag got away and is going to warn whoever she was talking about" Lann says
”A fine mess. Looks like we have two options. First, we do as Torag. We fortify this area. Let them break upon us, and use their own defenses against them. With the help of our resident elven mage, we can even summon creatures to support the defenses and cut off their retreat. The second? We do as Angradd. We push now before they are ready, and get to tbthe surface before they can bar the way.”
Looking down at the unconscious mongrelman, he shook his head sadly. ”Just following orders. What a fine mess...”
"Once I have used a spell I cannot reprepare it without my eyes." Aravashnial moves up to the group, his voice sounds very upset at his own statement.
"We just leave back the surface, I get to my house and you leave me be. That works best for me." Horgus says, while trying to look everywhere all at once.
"The problem Khaz," Firinn points out, moving smoothly over the bodies to the doorway the leader fled through. "Is that we are the invaders. To take the first room of their complex and fortify it will be worse for us than them, this is not their larder." He notes dryly.
"Let's just push through while they're disorganized and be done with this place", Lorena suggests. Of course, she isn't looking forward to the fight, being much more used to running away from trouble.
The next room into the complex appears to be a living quarters.
Using up the last of his healing magic, Khaz closed more of his wounds. He walked into the living quarters. He looked around, but not carefully.
"Let's move. I'll take point. Aravashnial, be ready to cast one of your summoning spells if we call for it. They could fall on us at any moment."
Carson follows behind, trying to make sure he's in a well defended position, but also not forcing their injured fellows into a worse one by it.
"Well...there are a couple ways out. Which one should we take?" Turning to Lann, she asks, "Are you familiar with this place?"
"I am not overly familiar with this den no, There must be some way out though since I know our traders would come this way."
which way are you guys going?
Just keep taking lefts until we find some way out.
”Aye, one direction is as good as the next. Let’s just keep moving.”
"Well, let's hope that we can find that exit sooner rather than later" Lorena says, shrugging but giving a sideways glance at Horgus, and then follows the others as they proceed.
Gathers what arrows he can, trying to be ready for the fights which seem to be coming . . ..
The concenus is for the group to go left, you enter another room noting 2 more door, one to the east and one to the north.
Following the policy of heading left Firinn moves forward towards the northern door, listening carefully as he goes.
The "door" is actually a shoot that leads down in to a pitch dark room.
As he has darkvision, Khaz peers into the room.
Khaz notes nothing special looks like a bunch of refuse has been thrown down here and is just pushed into piles in the corner
"Looks clear. If you have any way to make some light, I'd say use it now. We need to keep moving."
