"We would need force damage for it... alas but for magic missle we have to see him!"

"Good to know that I couldn't help even if I could see." The rogue says with a hiss.

The second one does not attack.
"Ow! Now it's chomping on me!"
Karnog takes 29 damage.
Returning the favor, Karnog lashes out with his hammer
#1 Miss Chance (high is good) to hit, magic bludgeoning + fire damage
#2. Miss Chance (high is good) to hit, magic bludgeoning + fire damage
Haste. Miss Chance (high is good) to hit, magic bludgeoning + fire damage
Just light us up!

Three of Grung's attacks miss (high is good correct?) and the one strike that whacks the creature doesn't do that much damage.
KArnog hits three times but the attacks are weakly made and the fire is simply absorbed harmlessly. (0 damage)
Kalim casts communal stoneskin as otherworldly materials coat them all.
RD 5: Unseen enemy
The creature attacks Grung,

Two of the touch's hit the dwarf (12 HPs but you have DR)
The second creature does not appear to attacking form the other direction - to the party's relief.
Bwahhahaha Ya gotta do better then that! Grung shouts, barely noticing the hits

To confirm for
to hold the ax.
Grung destroys the creature who vanishes from sight after the attack.
Grung dances a jig celebrating his utter demolition of the ghost thing
Then he fills his mug and downs it
After some discussion over a tankard or two, felic and Karnog decide that creature was most likely a shadow demon, given how it manipulated the light and it's incorporeal body. Although you do not know where the second one went to, you figure he is some sort of scout reporting to a higher being in the food chain.
"We mus be cautious. They know we are here, and they are bound to have even worse tricks than mere darkness prepared for us."
Karnog takes a moment to catch his breath, HP; HP
He then pulls his CLW wand and patches up the remainder of his damage.
I just move downward.
Shaken but undeterred, Karnog follows Grungsdi deeper below the ground.
"Sorry guys, I promise to take double shifts tonight. Next time we rest we should get prepared to fight that kind of darkness. That was crippling, to say the least."
As you trudge down the sloping passageway you begin to hear voices, and the sound of heavy boots. The first soft glow stick of light emerges. You hear guttural undercommon being spoken by the group.
"We found a fresh vein of silver with the clearing ahead."
You see can make out the dreaded image of deurgars.
Grung stops and puts a spark bullet into his sling and gestures that he is ready to launch it further along to draw the monsters out, but looking in another direction
"Duergar ahead. Darklands corruptions of true dwarves. Slavers and mercenary scum. Be on your guard, everyone."
Karnog holds his shield and hammer ready.
The foot stomping and rough mumble gets louder then takes a sudden turn to the their left (your right) and the sound begins to diminish. They apparently didn't see you before they turned off.
"They're speaking in some other language. I could still go and scout them to see what I could learn, but I can't understand what they're saying. Either way, if we decide to kick down the door I want to get into a good position first."
"Let us follow them!"
"Destroying them could be very theraputic."
"They're speaking in some other language. I could still go and scout them to see what I could learn, but I can't understand what they're saying. Either way, if we decide to kick down the door I want to get into a good position first."
It looked like squad they wre carrying pick, axes, shovels. there were a couple that seemed to be "leader' types. You gather there were at least 8 of the them.
As you get to the junction, you more voices coming the main tunnel. You do remember this is a traveled tunnel leading to a dangerous location where The Grand Cornu, high priest of Orcus in Tsar, and his fallen army are suppose to be located. The duergar are heading down a smaller side tunnel.
So we killing them boss?
Grung asks Karnog
"Boss? That's a new one."
Karnog thinks about the Darklands folk for a moment.
"If we can do it quickly, and quietly, I say we do so. No sense leaving foes at.our backs down here."
"Right, kill it is than." Desmond slips off into the shadows to await the beginning of the fight.
Grung nods, puts away his sling and then, along with everyone else.
He moves as quietly as he can until he spots them then he charges.

As far as the rest of the group those who do not have dark or low-light vision, what is your light source?
-----
Your group arrives at the crossroad and there is a small tunnel that branches off. Unlike the tunnel you are currently in has some florescent lichen but that lichen does not extend into the tunnel which the Duegar ventured. You do hear some clink, clink, clink sounds echoing down that side tunnel.
Desmond gets an explanation of where the duergar are from the other party members, then moves forward in the darkness and tries to feel his way along, moving slowly.
Desmond blindly feels his way along the wall using his hands and ears rather than his eyes. He is cautious enough to let the dwarfs follow pretty closely knowing their eyes are better equipped for the terrain.
Desmond you see anything up ahead, the lack of light is really hindering you, but you sense there is trap...a lookout who is ready to spring.
RD 1: SE
As soon as Desmond begins to shout a warning about a trap, it is sprung. Out of the shadows and tunnel nooks emerge stout stealthy duergar. Thre quickly stab at Karnog, Grung, and Desmond and sound of heavy boots and shouting echoes from around the tunnel bends. They catch everyone but Desmond flat footed
Grung:
; ; ;
The attack on Grung comes from nowhere, the black darkness nearly dropped it's short sword though. The a shadow tries to touch the dwarf but misses.

Desmond:
the swooshing sound of dwarven warax cuts the air and someone moves out of the nook.

Karnog:
The attack comes suddenly without time for you to prepare,
