Uldar breaths relieved "Wow! That was impressive! What kind of creatures the Evil is creating here?" he sheaths back his shortsword while smiling at Kalizama "The tentacles did not know how to catch all your magic orbs"
The halfling closes to the bronze coffer and carefully inspects it.
He uses his thief tools to deactivate any trap or lock at place.
The halfling also helps the party to inspect the room for any other interesting clues or dangers.

Uldar uses his tools upon the bronze coffer and quickly opens it. He discovers it contains a large scroll with several spells written upon it (all CL3): friends, magic missile, mirror image, web, and slow.
Under the central "nest" of the monster is a gold platter (worth 300 gp); 20 gp, 33 sp and 56 cp; and a platinum bracelet (worth 1,000 gp) set with four opals (each worth 1,000 gp).
"Nice!" the rogue smiles with greed as he starts to take everything. He though observes how the party looks at him and starts to share everything.
"Well, if nothing else is here, I guess we can continue following the left direction" and so the halfling helps looking around.
And then follows the corridor to the left always, inspecting any door and opening it.
Velcore follow behind Uldar with sword drawn and shield up.

Uldar leads the party back down the hallway and turns left...and reaches a corner and turns left again...and proceeds down a long hallway and reaches a corner and turns left again...and proceeds down an even longer hallway and reaches a corner, and turns left again...and midway down the next hallway comes to a door...on his left!
Uldar looks at his party companions a bit dazzled by the continuous spinning "Oh, look, my grandma's home stairs where more straight than this corridors. A door finally!" the halfling inspects the entrance with his natural and usual curiosity.
The halfling opens the door and looks inside, his bow readied against any danger.
|
|
After winding around and around the crooked hallways, the party finally comes to a door! Uldar discovers it is unlocked, and he opens it and peers inside the room (#.
As the door opens, he is met by a shower of javelins thrown at him!
and one of the shafts strikes him solidly for four points of damage!
The creatures then draw their weapons and charge toward the door!
Creature's Initiative:
Forgot to go stealthy!
Velcore begins to chant praying for aid from his God. "Smite this evil down with allies from above."
A spider the size of a man crawls silently from the depths of its funnel-shaped web.

Group 2: Bugbears
Bugbear #2 blocks the doorway, and it attacks Uldar! His strike with a morning star is dodged!
Bugbears #1, #3 and #4 attack the Giant Spiders!
Bugbear #1 swings his morning star, but misses with the blow!
Bugbear #3 brings his morning star down upon the spider smashing it for 10 damage!
Bugbear #4 strikes at the second spider but misses!
Group 3: Everyone else
Kalizama casts Mage Armor upon herself.
Roran growls. "Uldar. I think you're in my spot."
Uldar smiles at Roran's comment. The little humanoid then starts tumbling trying to go below the bugbear's legs.
Assuming he succeeds in the deed, he stops his movement just behind the back of the bugbear at G5, and draws his shortsword, effectively flanking G4 and G6.
The halfling tries again, sure of being possible for him to go through the creature legs.
Garm starts building into a soliloquy to boost his allies morale!
Inspire Courage.
Roran gives a lopsided, bloody grin and steps into the vacant spot left by Uldar. "Rrrrraaaahhhh!"
Trane gestures, and a celestial eagle appears in the room with the bugbears.
His lioness tries to aid the fighter defensively.

Brandor moves up to a bugbear and swings his warhammer.
Velcore chants as he raises his sword in the air then brings it down to touch Roran.
The two giant spiders pounce on the Bugbear in the rear biting with poison dripping from their jaws.
|
|
The two spiders attempt to bite the bugbears, but are unable to penetrate their armor!
Group 2: Bugbears
The noise of the fighting attracts attention!
Bugbear #1 attacks Brandor:
The creature swings his Morningstar in an arc and strikes for 4 points of damage!
Bugbears #3 and #4 attack Uldar:
Both creatures swing at him with their morningstars, but he manages to dodge both blows!
The door on the south side of the room opens, and more bugbears come streaming into the room! Intruders! Kill them all!
Bugbears #5 and #6 make it through the doorway, and #5 attacks the southern spider:
His weapon smashes into the creature causing six points of damage!
Group 3: Everyone else...
With an unhappy growl Roran squeezes into the room. "Leave some room for me to swing boys!" However he takes what he can, chopping at the bugbear in F5!
Uldar places his bow in the back while he keeps the shortbow in the right hand. The halfling then smiles looking at bugbear 3 and tries to pierce trough its heart as the beast is distracted with the spider in his back. He fights in the defensive trying the bugbears not to overwhelm him.
He then tries to step to the side to leave room for Roran. He tries to move to F6 if he defeats his bugbear, otherwise he steps over the bugbear the fighter split in two at F5.
|
|
The bugbear in F-5 swings at Roran as he moves in to attack:
It manages to strike Roran for seven points of damage, just before the fighter cleaves him in two with a mighty, killing blow!
Uldar tries to stab Bugbear #3 with his short sword, but the creature bats his weapon aside! Uldar then steps to the side into F-5...[/b]
I move to G-3 and cast a Lightening Bolt on Bugbear #4, #6, #7, and #8.
Damage: DC 16 reflex save for 1/2 damage

Reflex Saves:
#4
#6
#7
#8
Kalizama appears in the doorway, makes a complicated gesture with her hands, and a bolt of lightning suddenly erupts from her hands, passing over Brandor's head and traveling in a line, striking the four bugbears in a row! KRAAAACK!
Bugbears #4, #6 and #8 howl in pain...and #7 shrieks and falls dead!
Trane's celestial eagle moves to smite the closest bugbear flanking with the allies in the door.
Trane hopes there will soon be room to fight in the room, can changes into a lion.
Chaandra leaps to G5 and bites at another bugbear (G4). Attacking with power instead of accuracy.
Brandor continues to trade swings with the bugbear.
Velcore steps up to the dwarf lies a hand on his shoulder while saying a quick chant.
The two summon spiders continue to harass the Bugbear in back.
Poison: Bite—injury; save Fort DC 14; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d2 Strength damage; cure 1 save.

Vecore touches Brandor and provides him a sense of Guidance. The two summoned spiders continue trying to bite the bugbears, but are unable to penetrate their armor!
Group 2: The Bugbears
Bugbears #3 and #4 continue to attack Uldar:
Uldar continues to evade the attacks!
Bugbear #5 continues to attack the southern spider:
The bugbear swings wildly and misses!
Bugbear #8 smiles, and takes a glowing arrow out of his quiver, and draws his bowstring back to his ear. A human...just what I need for these arrows! He aims and lets the shaft fly toward Kalizama!
The arrow flies just over her head and shatters on the wall!
Around the western end of the corridor more bugbears appear! Bugbear #E shouts, Kill them all! and a rain of javelins comes pouring down the hallway!
The javelins mostly miss Trane and the others still in the hallway, but one strikes Kalizama for 4 points of damage!
Group 3: Everyone else...
Roran growls as they are flanked. "Hold this line! I'll get the ones behind us!" He yells, then runs around the corner and cleaves with his falchion!
Trane pounces on the front line of the bugbears, landing next to Roran. The inspiration from Roran aids his powerful blows.
His eagle continues to help the others, attacking a bugbear.
Chaandra attacks the bugbears in front of her.
Her bite starts with the wounded one, but the carnage continues and the other bugbears are not safe from it.

Roran quickly moves to D-3 and attacks the lead bugbears! He swings wildly at the first foe, and misses!
Trane joins the battle beside Roran, roaring loudly! He pounces upon Bugbear #A and slashes and bites the monster to death!
The Eagle attacks Bugbear #4, and it manages to damage the wounded creature just enough to kill it!
Chaandra bites Bugbear #3 with such ferocity that she tears its head off! She then steps to F-6 and attacks Bugbear #5, ripping into it with her claws, killing it instantly!
I step back to G-2 and cast Flaming Sphere at Bugbear E.
Damage: DC 15
Uldar drops his shortsword and drawing back the bow, shots an arrow at the bugbear just in front, shooting from the side to avoid any cover.
