As Jeffrey climbs the rickety wooden staircase a rotten post gives way and drops the warrior on to the other waiting to go up. The three are all on the ground in a tangle of legs, arms and ruined staircase.
August moves over to try to help his companions, and looks for any other threats. He tries to move any objects off the men.
"Uggh, not my week is it. Remind me never to stand near stairs when he goes up them. Can ya stand or do you need a bit of a push?"
.
{sigh} I guess if we had been thinking we would have checked the stairs.
You guys think these boxes are sturdy enough to stack up to the opening? Otherwise I think we'll have to borrow Keanan's grappel again and go up the outside.
.
Keanan holds his shield close to his body as he enters the lair. "I hope your wolf companions heal over the next few days. Once I gather these mushrooms, we will leave your lair as soon as possible. My companions are nearby, but I thought it best to come address you alone as I have unique respect for you, your power and your wisdom. I am glad we came to an understanding and helped each other. My name is Keanan Garnet-Gold, should you ever need a druid in the future. Who knows, perhaps we will meet again in the future, Gozreh willing."
Keanan keeps a close eye on the wolf, hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst, never turning his back to the wolf as he gathers the mushrooms.
Once you move Balazar I will post the Wolves attacks.
.
Both of the smaller wolves rush into attack the dwarf and his lion. The first lunges at Balazar with its fangs aim at her front shoulder. The wolf's fang sink deep into the lions neck and shoulder leaving a nasty bite. As the wolf pulls away the lion nearly falls to the ground.
The second wolf attacks Keanan snapping at his legs and one of its fangs scrapes along Keanan's calf leaving a big scratch. The wolf tries to pull the dwarf down but does not have the leverage to pull the sturdy dwarf down.
Seeing the blood drawn by his consorts, the large Worg laughs."Where are your friends now Dwarf? They have left you and your lion to die!!"
The Worg growls trying to Demoralize Keanan and Balazar.
DC 13 Keanan and Balazar are both shaken for 3 rounds.
Un'gra pulls himself from the tangle of people.

Jeffrey gets up with an angry shout. "ARGH! Damn you, tower!" He looks up at the ruined staircase, and shakes his head.
"Perhaps only the light guys should go up. I'm quite heavy with all this armor... Will you check out the next floor? I'll go go help the druid with smoking the bats out..."
Jeffrey then walks to the location where the bats were, and notices they're gone.
Where the heck are they?
"Whatever's up there, can stay up there. Let's get these mushrooms and get out of here." Un'gra takes a look around the courtyard. "Anyone see where Keanan went?"
[ooc]-2 on attack roll for shaken[/occ]
.
Balazar tears into the wolf attacking her killing it with a bite to the skull.
Shaken by the Worg's threatening growl Keanan's strike sails wide of the wolf attacking him. The wolf renews it's attack biting again at Keanan but misses badly slamming into the wall.
The Worg paces waiting.
"Haha, one down, one to go. Gozreh favors us!"
From the corner of the room, next to Serila's body, William looks at Jeffrey. "No, he left earlier... You're not together...?" William asks with a voice that doesn't hide his grief.
Balazar pounces at the wolf attacking her friend taking advantage of the wolf before it can shake of the stun from hitting the wall. Blood shoots from it's neck as Balazar's claw nearly tears it's head off.
The Worg still paces the room but makes his way toward the doorway."I thank for killing those b!tches, I was growing tried of them anyhow. I will find new mates worthy of Graypelt. The blood on you smells good I might have to take a bite myself." Baring his large fangs and growling.
DC 13
"They were b!tches. Take a bite from them." Keanan kicks one of the dead wolves to the Worg.
"Come Balazar, we've spilled enough blood here today, and we got what we came for." Keanan pockets all iron bloom mushrooms I can into my backpack while holding his shield high.
With his back to the wall and shield held high, Keanan and Balazar walk out of the room.
"Not so fast Dwarf.. live prey is more fun." As Keanan and Balazar move to leave the room Graypelt lunges at Keanan.
"Talking with bats shouldn't take this long. I'm getting a bad feeling about this. We need to go look for him, and quickly."

When Jeffrey hears sounds that indicate fighting in the next room, he directly runs off to the room. "Milon, William, notify those at the courtyard! The wolf's room!"
Jeffrey barges into the other room, and sees the huge wolf close to the door opening. At the middle of the room he sees Keanan, lying on the ground and bleeding. "Hey ugly! I'm the one that hurt your mates, fight me!"
"Come on, lion!" Jeffrey yells into Balazar's direction, having no idea if the lioness will actually understand him. "Help me take down this wolf so I can save your master!"
Balazar slashes out with claw and fangs has she tries to protect her friend. The claws can't penetrate the Worg's thick hide but the bite gashes the beast on the leg.
"You will pay for that lion with your life!" The Worg growls as it snaps out with a vicious bite tear the lion's stomach open. Suddenly the Worg howls in pain as Jeffrey's sword pierces it's back.

Alperion comes running into the courtyard."There is a battle inside and our companions need help."
Graypelt turns and attacks Jeffrey but the warrior dodges the attack. Just then an arrow flies by Jeffrey sticking into the Worg.

Jeffrey strikes out at the Worg again but misses. Hearing his companions coming to help Jeffery re-positions himself to give them room to attack.
In a rush, August makes his way to the battle, slipping past Un'gra to find himself face to face with the large Worg.
With a quick spear jab, August tries to find his mark on the Worg.
Un'gra moves into the room and pulls a dagger from his pack, preparing to throw it at the wolf.
"Fresh meat!!" The Worg growls before pouncing at August. The agile fighter dodges the attack easily and stabs at the Worg piercing it's flank. Milon shoots another arrow but it misses due the chaos of combat in front of him.
"Your end is near beast! I shall wear your pelt on my boots!"
"August, DUCK" Un'gra shouts trying to get a clear shot at the worg.
Hearing Un'gra call, August quicky drops low and covers himself with his shield.
