Tagolan Knocks an arrow in his bow and starts to head out alongside Talirin, moving a bit slower to be more stealthy.
Brennus nods, then walks back to the workshop. After he's cleared everyone out, he takes his armor off and starts the ritual that calls for the power of his ancestral line, focusing it through his ancestral armor. Afterwards, he ritually redons the armor, and is ready for battle.
Brennus exits his workshop, his armor gleaming in the torchlight. "Here I am. May our ancestors guide us to victory."
Talirin take a 10, 22 on stealth, 18 on perception.
Looks like the dice Gods favor you this time Tagolan.
You do not see signs of man made or creature tunneling.
Though there is a strange smell you pick up. At first you can't place it then you realize it smells kind of like reptiles.
Talirin You notice the same things an Tagolan.
Tagolan will continue, following the sent silently.
Brennus follows after Rose.
As the adventure party goes down further, they start to feel a warm breeze coming from below.

Hopefully its not a dragon, I would prefer not to be eaten. he whispers to Tag...
Tagolan readies his bow, but otherwise continues the same as before. If it is we are all going to die. Smells reptilian yes. But I don't think it is a dragon. Though... I have been wrong before Tagolan will whisper back.
After almost an hour of walking down the tunnel light can be seen. firelight.
Brennus nocks an arrow. "Seems you're about to find out."
Curses! Tagolan whispers. There has to be a way to plug the fog.
Tagolan will search the snakemen, hoping to find a cloth to cover his face nose and mouth with. Then he will begin an actual search of their bodies.
Tal, I think I have a plan. there is a hole there, but the ruble has disappeared. Run and Find Benny. Tell him to get as much Black powder as possible. We are going to attempt to collapse this cavern and thus, plug the hole.
Please tell me you have a better plan.
Tagolan puts the knives in his backpack, ties the cloth around his nose and mouth, and grabs the staff.
This looks awesome. I'll take it. Odds are I can't use it if it has magic, but I'll carry it around until we find out what it does. he says.
Benny comes tromping to the rest of the party after he finished gathering his musket and ammo. "What is trouble? Tunnel need blocking?"
Brennus! Rose! The Fog has gotten into this Cavern. We have maybe ten minutes to come up with a plan to deal with it. My best idea is blow up the tunnel entrance to this cavern, yes the tunnel you are in, to top the fog from reaching the general populace. There are fifty dead snake men, and I did the math. Its not enough to block the hole from the surface!
They are all dead! I checked. Got a cool looking staff off one of them. And some nice daggers. I'll spread the daggers around. They have kinda been eviscerated. I can stab them all again if you'd like

[dice=Spellcraft to attempt to identify the staff, if it is magical.]1d20+7
Tagolan cannot figure out if the staff is magical or not. Tag looks at the bodies then look at the tunnel mouth. It looks like blocking it with the corpses is very much an option.
I have a plan! he shouts, and begins to drag the snakemen bodies over to the entrance. I need help. We need to make a wall of bodies. The get guards to watch this area, unless we decide to blow it up.
With the you five currently it will take over a half hour or so to make the body wall. These things are not light. And Benny can't do a whole lot. But if you all give me strength checks and can beat the combined DC of 65 than who knows.
Rose you remember it was down.

F&~* why couldn't it have been an up slope. We could have piled the torches in there and let the heated air block the tunnel while we tried to collapse it. Maybe we should just go. it will take time to pool in here and start climbing up the tunnel, it should give us time to collapse it. Benny, if you've got enough black powder I need you to go pull it together and get it about a third of the way down the tunnel, we'll keep blocking this off until we need to run.
Having been taking a nap when this all started, Lershoth awoke to a pretty weird situation where several people were crowding into his lab. After asking them what was going on he took the time to move things around so people wouldn't blow themselves up on accident.
Having secured his lab he grabbed his two Shortswords and his studded leather armor, trying vainly to put them on while moving. After digging out the information from a few stragglers that several had proceeded down a northern tunnel Lershoth headed towards the tunnels entrance, pausing briefly.
This is a really stupid idea, why did they go down there? Why am I about to go down there? Standing for a moment considering. Blasted fools, they might need my help
Fixing his armor on the rest of the way, and decided, Lershoth began making his was down the tunnel, eventually arriving a few minutes or so after Benny's arrival.
What in the devil are you doing with those bodies!?
"We don't have enough time. We need to collapse the tunnel."

You remember there are a dozen picks or so in the shoddy shed. Located in the main cavern.
Brennus helps Tagolan out of the pit, then hurries after Rose.

Lershoth not sure what to do but not seeing or hearing any of the rest decides to return to his lab to prepare some extracts.
That passage goes on for a long time, from what I remember.No sense in trying to catch then when they've been gone for so long. Best to be prepared.
Spend 3 minutes prepping 3 extracts, leaving 1 open:
After that he will check on the ones taking shelter in the area to see if any are hurt.
Lershoth you make your rounds. It does not look like anyone is injured at this time scared but not injured.
The adventure party finally make it back up to the main cavern, 30 minutes later. Since they were running, though a couple short breaks were needed.
Folks look relived to see you returned and a little nervous seeing that you all look out of breath and wearing very serious expressions.
Upon seeing the party return Rodia quickly moves from trying to calm to cavern dwellers to approach the group. What's the situation? She looks over the group, looking for injuries or signs of conflict. You appear unscathed. Didn't you find anything?
"The mists are coming up through the tunnel. Whatever caused the breach must have been enormous, slaughters a good number of lizard-folk down there." Brennus' gaze falls on the tunnel.
Let's hope it doesn't decide to come up through here.
The 8 engineers get to work scratching X, in the places they deem best. Then 10 of the 45 miners get to work. (It would be very crowded if they sent in more)
After a while they manage to cause a collapse. Dirt and rock come crumbling down. Luckily all the miners got out ok. A large dust cloud washes over the part of the main cavern a few folks cough and sputter but are undamaged. After the dust clears you can see the tunnel is completely blocked off.
Crisis averted.
