DMPC'ing Des in the Daarog's lair.
Des checks out the wooden door to the south
+3 if trapped
It is locked but you actually found a skeleton key on one of the orcs. Des inserts the key and there is a click as the lock opens. He motions for others to get ready, then he opens the door.
The tanks lead the way down the rough tunnel which opens into to a squared room. There are two orcs with waiting for you.

Anyone before the orcs can act.
the orcs look a bit nervous that this group has gotten this far into their home, past so many guards.
Taking the initiative for once, Karnog moves past the two orcs and bashes the one in the middle of the room with his hammer.
to hit, damage (+2 to hit/damage if it's been less than 5 minutes since entering the lair...I figured its been more than that)
"Fast and deadly, let's take these two down!"
Malcolm five foot steps to LO7 and attacks the Orc in M7.
You bent down in RD 3, pickup your ax (move action). I'm not taking the AOO. Since you are at the bottom of the round and used your standard action to turtled up with total defense.
Meanwhile RD 4 begins with the red cap attacking you again, that was followed up with Kalim attacking the redcap and asking if you are withdrawing which he was fine doing. If you withdraw he will use his movement to follow you.

Grung leads the retreat with a withdraw

Des and Vatilda have actions remaining in RD 1.
Grung and Kalim slip away as the redcaps rejoices in the splattered blood. You are able to find a secondary tunnel to explore. After 45 minutes you are confident that tit is not following you.
Desmond quickly slips to the front, bringing a shortsword down.
[ooc]Edit: Thanks for reminding me Karnog!
Vatilda steps up and tries to fire off a dark bolt at the orc in the center of the room.

Karnog swings at the orc.
attack; damage
"Well done. Check the bodies for potions, and lets continue around the corner."
There are four cure light wound potions. Two msw falchions, There armor is mundane. They ahve a combined 6 gp, 27 SP, 32 cp.
Malcolm will chug two of the CLW potions.
If anyone needs the other two, or ones from before. Drink-up before we move forward.
"Don't mind if I do. We should take those blades, they look well crafted."
Come, let's proceed.
Maslcolm peers around the corner.
Des you round the corner and see a set of stairs descending (12 feet), there appears to be arrow slits like from the entrance chamber lining the area. There is a visible body of water roughly 35 feet away.
"A new memory for you, Grung. The undead are a+%*~!@s."
Desmond points out the arrow slits, then crawls underneath them and tries to find a way to disable what he suspects just might be a trap.
During your journey thorough the side tunnel you ahd plenty of time to chug healing potions.
Kalim looks at all the rock, "Stone feels suffocating...blasted dead-end"
While Grung notices the beautiful intricacies and the craft hidden door.
Desmond you make it down the steps, you can hear guttural speech, you can see a tip of a bolt and spearhead. It looks to be another manned guard post, rather than a trap. You can make out at least 5 distinct voices. They are split between both sides of the hall.
Desmond silently motions for the party to remain where they are, then he continues down the hall and tries peering around to find the source of the noise.
Nah nothing suffocating about the stone...comforting, in fact there is always a way for things to get through if ye look hard enough. Here. He points to the hidden door.
second wind and CMW potion
Shall we open her up? Grung opens the door, assuming he didn't notice traps on it.
Grung the door is not trapped and it opens inward quite smoothly from your location, apparently the builder knew his craft. Your eyes widen as you see 6 orcs mulling around in various stages of light activity. Several are eating mutton chops , two are sharping their falchions and one is staring is surprise directly at you.
In Orc...
"W..w...Wha...Dwarf!" he instinctively pulls his falchion from its sheath.
------
Desmond you hear a sudden guttural cry and lots of movement from the right side of the wall.
Desmond clicks his tongue in annoyance, then sharply gestures the rest of the party forward. He hurried forward and soft feet, trying to find the source of the cry.
Die Orcs!!!!!! Grung quick draws his ax and stands in the doorway. He goes total defense first and waits.

Desmond clicks his tongue in annoyance, then sharply gestures the rest of the party forward. He hurried forward and soft feet, trying to find the source of the cry.
Desmond you are prone on your hands and knees to avoid the arrow slits. You can see an orc by the pool.
Ye all are the reason I can't remember! I am going to make sure no one remembers ye! Grung roars as he sees all the orcs
Karnog moves forward carefully and casts bless.
