"The last time the energy eventually faded, and the doors were easy to open, should that not also happen this time?"
"Farid"
Serila sighs. "I thought men focused on action, not talking..."
She walks down the tunnel to inspect the dead end, taking her lights with her.
"Stay with me if you want to see," she says jokingly.
"The last time the energy eventually faded, and the doors were easy to open, should that not also happen this time?"
"Farid"
"Ah, you're right. I misremembered - I thought Farid had fiddled with something to make it stop."
Roo follows along with Serlia
Bhoors rolls his eyes and chuckles. "We prefer the term strategizing. Maybe the little guy by the anvil knows something, heck I found that book in the library maybe it says something."
Serlia searches the dead end for a few minutes and finds a well hidden secret door that looked just like the wall.
You hear voices from beyond the door.
"Stay with me if you want to see," she says jokingly.
"You shall not sneak away so easily this time."
Bhoors follows along.
As the group moves closer to the dead end hallway they all can hear a low chanting sound coming from beyond the door.
"Is that chanting. . . that can't be good. Get ready for action." Bhoors readies an arrow. "Erastil guide my arrows."
Farid snaps out of his reverie and checks the door for traps.
Perception
"Aux, open it at my sign," Serila whispers.
Serila starts casting a sleep spell. When she nears the end of the incantation, she gives Auxavier a nod. As the secret door opens, Serila slings her sleep spell inside. She tries to catch as many creatures as possible inside the spell's area of effect.
You find no traps on the door.
Stealth???
Bhoors cringes at the clank and squeak of Aux's armor.
"Aux!" Serila hisses, mortified by the amount of noise he makes.
Bhoors quietly facepalms.
Stealth
"You lot make poor thieves!" Farid hisses.
The barbarian, trained as a thief for a long time, there is a moment when stealth is preferred. Once that moment is lost, then the only solution is furious assault.
Farid opens the door to charge at whatever is on the other side!
Serila begins to chant as Auxavier, Bhoors and Ruthviren move forward to get ready for the assault. Auzavier’s wooden armor makes a dull thudding noise and Ruthviren’s banded mail creaks loudly as the warriors move and both give an apologetic look and shrug to everyone.
Farid curses under his breath as he charges thru the doorway pushing the door open with his shoulder.
Six stone prayer platforms with well-worn knee rests carved in to them are spread through this large chamber. A hunch-backed kobold
with dark blue scales and an immensely oversized ear is standing at the north wall speaking to five other kobolds in the room which are kneeing on the prayer platforms.
Two sets of double doors, which are closed, exit the room. One on the north wall and one on the west wall.

Despite the immediate risk to life and limb, Ruthviren finds himself nodding approvingly at Farid's enthusiasm.
Farid charges at the hunch backed Kobold axe high overhead!
As he nears he swings downwards with as much force as he can muster.
Greataxe Attack
Greataxe Damage
Bhoors shoots a pair of arrows at the Kobold with the ear problem.
The kobold nearest the door raises his head just in time to see a mighty axe coming down at him. It squeals just before the axe splits him in two sending blood shooting all over the Barbarian looming above.
The kobold just north of Farid grabs a spear on the ground as it stands from it's praying position.
Serila's chanting finishes and a fine glowing dust fills the air within the prayer chamber.
Two of the far kobolds and the hunched back kobold slump to the ground asleep.

"Surrender the children to us!"
Handaxe (+1) S
Ruthviren will double move into the room, hammer ready.
Ruthviren quickly moves into the fray wielding his large hammer. Auxiaver moves up to the nearest kobold and swings with the flat of his axe but the kobold blocks the blow with his spear. Bhoors fires two arrows into the room but misses any of the enemies.

Bloodlust upon him, Farid moves at and swings for the next Kobold not affected by Serila's spell.
Greataxe Attack Charge
Greataxe Damage
Farid marches forward with his bloodied axe and chops down another kobold.
Seeing all of his allies fall around him the last kobold runs. He moves to the northern door and opens it. You then hear it screaming in a language you don't understand as he run down the north hall.

Serila moves after the fleeing kobold and points a finger at it, from which she shoots a ray of bright, white fire.
Serila's holy fire sears a hole thru the kobold's shoulder but the creature continues to run north cursing in pain.
Serila you now see the room north is full of kobolds.

Serila
Bhoors runs up next to Serila and fires at the fleeing Kobold.
"Many more are coming. Make sure they are dead if you can or we will be overwhelmed when they wake."
Serila looks back at the sleeping kobolds, then at the ones in room up north. "They should be asleep for about a minute, so let's first take care of the other room."
Aux readies his shield and moves to hold the door area.
"Any guesses how many kobolds might be in this warren?"
Farid's recklesness is on full display as he moves past his companions and clashes with the nearest of the small dragon folk.
Greataxe Attack
Greataxe Damage
"Count on all of them."
Ruthviren will double move, probably drawing an AoO from the kobold in front of Farid.
A ten-foot-diameter pit occupies the center of this chamber. Directly over the pit a long chain feeds through complex pulley system before disappearing into the depths.
Ruthviren moves menacingly into the next room with his hammer at the ready.
Farid rushes after the fleeing kobold chopping at it with his large axe but his wild swing misses.
Auxavier moves up next to Serila and stands with shield held high in a defensive stance.
Bhoors moves up behind the Half-Orc and fires an arrow at the fleeing kobold which hits it square in the back. The red scaled creature hits the ground and it's momentum makes it skids along another five feet.
The five kobolds in this room looked ready for combat and with battle cry's attack. Four javelins fly thru the air as the one near Ruthviren stabs at the warrior with it’s spear.
Ruthviren dodges the spear thrust easily, two javelins bounces off his armor as another one sails over his head but the last javelin sticks into his left arm.

Serila steps a bit forward and shoots another ray of white fire at the kobold that fled.
