Antas will take a move action (hero point) leaving a clear charge for Grond and taking a spot in front of the other with his hammer gripped in both hands ready to blast him if he shoots or moves
Antas drives forward and pushes towards the smuggler in the eastern cave.
This cavern, like the passage leading to it, is well lit by lanterns held in brackets around the walls. Stacked against the wall to your left, as you enter, you can see five small bolts of cloth, while to your right are eight small casks in a neat row.
The ceiling height is about 8 to 10 feet (it varies). The walls are covered in patches of slimy salty moss and there is coarse burlap-like mats places on the ground in long runs to apparently help them walk. The ground itself is covered in patchy moss and sand.
Smugger 1
The old sea dog moves up north in the cavern hearing the group moving forward to the east as soon as he sees the back of Rabalar he fires his crossbow. He then quickly slides back a few feet to get the cavern wall between him and the group to the east.
The bolt flies over Rabalar's left shoulder and shatters into the cavern wall in a burst of wood and metal. Rabalar looks over his shoulder as he sees the man slide back into the tunnel.

Smuggler 8
Takes a few steps back and quickly fires his crossbow that he finished loading the moment before as Antas moved upon him. After he fires the crossbow he drops the weapon and moves back to the east wall. He appears to be moving to draw his cutlass.
The bolt flies by Antas and smashes into the roof of the cavern piercing the soil and rock.
Ferona glances down at the unconscious form of Soros here a look of concern on her face. I dare not leave him here alone. That mage may be hiding down this passage too... She hefts her spear, the tip still glowing as she peers down the narrow passage. "This way..." she motions for Naia to follow.
RETCON -
Smuggler 8
The man takes a few steps back fires his crossbow, drops it, and draws his cutlass. He has a look of concern on his eyes...especially after seeing his bolt fly by Antas as the man steps to the side of it easily.
Hearing Rabalar call out, Peran moves forward to confront the pirate that was coming up behind his friends.

Peran steps into the southern tunnel and sees the smuggler falling back and swings and misses. He sees another tunnel going south into darkness.
[ooc]Opps sorry..it was a baton (club)
Ferona glances down at the unconscious form of Soros here a look of concern on her face. I dare not leave him here alone. That mage may be hiding down this passage too... She hefts her spear, the tip still glowing as she peers down the narrow passage. "This way..." she motions for Naia to follow.
[dice=Perception (narrow pasageway)]1d20+2
Ferona illuminates the narrow tunnel but only sees another dark tunnel with natural walls. There is a rancid salt water smell coming from the tunnel.
You see a portion of the cavern wall to the south glow with magic.
The area with the yellow border is glowing magic.
As he man steps back Antas snaps the hammer in his hand out quick swinging in from the side toward his center mass!
[Dice=aoo]1d20+7
[Dice=damage]1d10+6
As the man drops back and draws his cutlass Antas unrelenting swings his hammer bringing into the man's chest...there a cracking sound, a crunch, and the man's eyes go wide and his shoulders slump as he falls back. He is not moving any longer and Antas is now standing in an empty room full of casks and bolts of expensive-looking cloth.
Seeing Antas dropping the smuggler, Grond turns around with a satisfied grunt, and moves to retrieve his morningstar and shield.

Smuggler 3
The smuggler repositions and keeps himself readied. He has a hard time working through Sanbalet's magic but they have practiced this a lot in preparation for a raid from above. He keeps his aim on the women examining the tunnel and the illusionary wall in between them.
Narciso moves up as far as he can, asking for Naia to let him by. "The effect of my music will last for a few more seconds, but I'm worried about Grond. He's been in melee long enough that he might be hurt. Or someone else too and I do have some spells that might help."

Narciso calls out to the company and all of you hear it!
That is Soros on the ground. The blue symbol means he is unconscious and out of action.

You look at Soros...when you check his eyes they are fully dilated and it appears his jaw is clenched as are his hands as if something overwhelmed his senses and essentially caused him to pass out. His muscles are stiff but not hard...as if he seized as he dropped. This appears to be magical in nature and probably visual and it happened quickly. There is no apparent physical damage or harm to him.
Seeing no evidence of further threats in front of them, and being very aware of the one behind, him, Rab adjusts to see if he can help convince that thug not to press his luck any further.
Narciso
He looks over Soros but doesn't see anything physical wrong with the man but he is alive...just completely out of it.
Naia
she moves back towards Ferona and Narciso and sees Soros on the floor unconscious. She knows something happened before the man fell...a flash of multi-colored lights. To the west she, Narciso, and Ferona sees a narrow tunnel that seems to go into a wider area. It stinks of rancid saltwater... It turns to the south and goes into darkness.

[dice=Piercing w/ PBS, Bard]1d8 + 1 + 1
Rabalar moves in behind Peran and fires at the smuggler but the arrow flies by the man's left hip as he fights with Peran.
Rabalar's Olven eyes see in the dim light behind the smuggler and can see it opens into a room of some kind or wider space.
Sanbalet
Peran sees a man step out of the shadows from the west of the tunnel behind the smuggler he is facing. He seems to point something at Peran and speaks in a weird...but dark sort of tongue whatever it was it short...Peran has never heard the obscure language. Suddenly out of the tip of the small wand springs forth a greenish orb of some sort of liquid held together with some magical energy...it springs forth directly at you.
The greenish orb of liquid goes by you and hits the wall behind Rabalar not two feet above him.
Rabalar
Just as you fire your arrow and miss, something flies out of the dimly lit area from the south...as if aimed at Peran but it hits the wall just behind and above you. You glance over your shoulder and see the greenish liquid cover the cavern wall and the moss on the wall start to smolder as if it is burning...there is a burning smell of moss, dirt, and it has an acidic smell to it that burns your nose as you smell it.
Smuggler 4
The smuggler following orders but very worried about what is going on tot the east...with all the screaming holds fast and continues to wait for the two women and the man to commit in either direction. If they go west he will let them spring the trap first and then slater them. If they go east he and his mate will move up behind them and pin them down with crossbow fire! If they figure out the master's illusion they will open fire on them.
1) If they figure out the illusion he opens fire.
2) If they go west down the fake tunnel and stay to the western wall they hold fire.
3) If they go east they will hold until they can flank them with crossbow fire.
Smuggler 1
The salty smuggler chops down hard on Peran with his cutlass as he falls back to the south.
The blow is a bad one as it sinks into Peran's shoulder deeply and the man pulls it back and then falls back. The wound burns as he pulls the blade back...Peran can feel the bone and flesh as the metal pulls out. Then he feels the warm wet feel of blood as it spills onto his neck and arm.
