Fort Save
Solvistania quickly examines Chops for signs of life. She turns to the others, and says quietly and with a visible note of relief, "They are not dead, just asleep. I have no clue how to awaken them."

"Let me try, I've got something that may help"
Gilian takes out of her pack a small bottle containing a greenish oily substance. Opening the bottle, she pours some on her hands and applies it on the dworg face and hands.
Lyj holds himself still, drawing the blade strapped to his thigh. With a swift look around, he makes an attempt to ascertain the source of the apparent attack. He pays particular attention to the glow, and tries to place the scent in the air - is it gas, or something worse?
Taking a protective stance in front of the fallen dworg and the two ladies bent in concern over him, Duncan intently stares into the darkness.

After the Dwarf falls, Lyj becomes the only person between Duncan and the darkness, Duncan tries to discern anything ahead, since his knowledge of tactics is telling him that this could be a good place for an ambush.
And while doing so, he steps over Sorok's body moving closer to Lyj, his shield and sword ready for any sign of an attack.
The dwarf looses consciousness and falls to the ground with a heavy thud.1d20+9+3
Lyj continues to look for intruders, his sweep of the tunnel causing him to duck close behind Duncan at one point.
He seems to relax a bit, and moves over as if to help the stricken Sorok. He carefully moves the dwarf's tower shield aside to check the dwarf for injury.

Suddenly, silent puffing sounds announce that someone stands in the dark tunnel in front of you and something rushes through the air...
Lyj rushes to pick up the dwarf's shield and cover himself, but the tower shield is strapped to Sorok's arm, so he is out of luck and the dart hits him square on. For an instance, he starts to faint as poison surges through his veins, but perhaps he will remain standing.
Other dart hits Duncan savagely in the neck and the poison goes straight at his brain, rushed by the blood.
Fighting the burning sensation spreading from his neck Duncan yells to the rest of the party "Two enemies with blowpipes ahead. Might be more. Prepare yourselves, I'm charging in.
With that, shield held in front so he can see above the rim, Duncan rushes down the corridor past Lyj, prepared to strike.

Lyj drops to the ground like a sack of stones. Duncan rushes past him and with several quick strides reaches two strange creatures, like halfling sized toadstools, but with limbs. They hold strange-looking blowpipes with bulbous ends that look like they are used for squeezing. The moving toadstools are angry red in color, seeping white milky puss from their crowns, but also slightly glowing in the dark, like orange hellish flames.
Shrugging of another burning sensation from another dart, this time one in his thigh, Duncan charges the two figures, and strikes at the right one with intention of cutting through to the other in the same mighty swing.
"I'm fighting two mushroom men here." Duncan yells back to the rest of the party.
After half a second he adds, but this time talking to Mushroom Men in Erenlander hoping they will understand "Please surrender, I don't wish to kill you"
Solvistania slips into her combat training, as Duncan's cry galvanized her to action. She steps away from Durathoin's unconscious form and peers down the corridor, intently searching for signs of additional mushroom men. She summons her arcane energy, but holds it ready for additional targets to show themselves.
"Duncan, do you see any more of them?"
Lyj staggers back to his feet, clapping a hand to his arm where a dart is lodged in his bicep. He tears the thing from his arm with a snarl, and throws Sorok's shield aside, staring with malice down the tunnel at the mushroom things. Pure malice, something few beings can truly call up - but to a tiefling, it's as natural as breathing.
He snaps his gaze to the moss on the wall near Duncan and the fungus beings, and finds that rage a release.
"Not that I can see"
Tiefling summons his power, but the strange beings seem to be immune to it.
Second, I was totally going for the plants on the wall (specifically the moss), not the mushroom men. Maybe that's immune too, but thought I'd mention it.
Ragnar watches the scene play out with confusion. He could see his allies falling, but saw nothing strike them. He saw Duncan slap at his neck as if he'd been bit by something, and then charge forward into the darkness. "Go" he says, "Stay with him"
One of the spectral torches flashes down the hall to rest behind and above Duncan, illuminating the battle. Ragnar's eyes go wide at the sight of the strange creatures. With a quick glance to Ilona as the wall bursts into flame without apparent cause, the big Dorn wastes no time rushing to his ally's aid.
"Woah! Muni squawks, flapping into the air as his perch charges out from under him and into the fray. "Well that's new."He says as their attackers are revealed.
"Less beak, more help!" Hugi snaps at her partner. [i]"See if we can wake up those two.
Flapping down to Lyj, the raven begins tugging at his ear.
"Right."Muni clicks, landing on the dwarf's chest. "Wakey, wakey nest-face."
Driving his beak sharply into the Sorok's exposed cheek...
"Bloody hell," the bird says stumbling back, "His frickin' face is like a walnut!"
