Pushing a section of the wall that seems to open the halfling exclaims excited "Look! There seems to be a secret door here!", he looks for traps quickly and then actions the door moving inside the first one unless Roran or other one takes the spot.
If the door is locked he works to open the door.
He move stealthy inside, and once at the other side, Uldar looks for dangers and secrets unless there is an enemy to fight.
|
Uldar carefully examines the wall, and finds a tiny mechanism that trips a latch. He opens the door to Room 204.
A fireplace on the east wall and a flowing fountain and basin on the west wall are the most remarkable features of this plastered but unpainted chamber. A large table stands in the center of the room, flanked by a pair of benches; all are a bit too large to be comfortable to humans. A sizeable haunch of some sort of cold meat is on the table. An old barrel stands in the center of the north wall, and holds seven javelins. Heaps of bedding lie along the south passageway to the west. The south passageway to the east leads onward for at least 100 feet, maybe farther.
Two bugbears wearing short capes of crimson cloth are standing guard. As the secret wall opens, they immediately throw javelins!
A -
B -
The javelins miss! They pull out morningstars and prepare to attack!
1
"Bear-goblins! Stupids, you almost stab me with your javelins!" shouts Uldar as he dodges the weapons and loads his shortbow with an arrow.
Initiative:
Roran grins as the javelin flies by, pushing past Uldar to enter the room. "You ugly bastards picked a bad day to show up for work." He lurches forward with a roar and swings his weapon for a cleave!
Uldar rapid shots at the B bugbear with his readied arrows.
If the first arrow drops B, Uldar shots at A instead with his next arrow.
Having seen Roran and Uldar take out a score of enemies by themselves quickly Velcore draws his sword while moving into the room but waits for any other enemies to show themselves.

Roran moves into the room and attacks both bugbears! He swings his weapon at enemy A and slickly carves the creature in half with one blow! He then tries to strike enemy B, but the blow is parried...
Uldar rapidly fires a pair of arrows at enemy B! The first shaft misses, but the second buries itself into the creature's chest, causing a major wound!
Velcore readies himself for action...
Group 2: Bugbears
Bugbear B yells, We are under attack! He swings his morning star weapon at Roran and strikes a solid blow for nine points of damage!
More bugbears enter the room from the western hallway, throwing javelins at Roran and moving in to engage!
C -
D -
E -
F -
Most of the javelins travel wide and miss their target, but one lands solidly into Roran for eight points of damage!
Group 3: Kalizama, Trane
Trane pounces on the bugbear directly ahead of him (move to J7).
Velcore raises his sword and the air and begins to pray his birthmark on his shoulder shining brightly."Vahhicw oquc Anutelc'l yrelc-relnaht Anakci." He speaks in a tongue unknown as he always does when battle is joined.
Chaandra moves over the table to avoid drawing and attack.
Chaandra bites at the bugbear Trane attacked (B) unless it is down, then she bites at the other (C).
I cast Mage Armor on myself and move up to J-5.
|
|
Trane leaps into the fray and swipes at bugbear B, tearing it into pieces and killing it!
Velcore casts the Bless spell...
Chaandra leaps onto the table and attacks bugbear C, and manages to bite it by being inspired by the Bless spell! Her teeth sink into the beast for 10 points of damage!
Kalizama casts a protection spell upon herself and moves forward to observe the room...
Group 1: Roran, Uldar
Uldar attempts to hide himself in the corner from the just arrived bugbears.
He then shots a couple of arrows at bugbear E, swapping targets to F if the first one drops.
The small halfling shouts "We came here to save you from your corrupt leaders, depose your attitude or die!"
And steps to I6 into the room.
|
|
Group 2: Bugbears
You all hear chanting coming from the western hallway...
A half-orc enters the room, wearing a red robe with a gold skull emblem, but with plate mail armor underneath, and carrying a shield as well. He is adorned with a gold fire amulet on a gold chain around his neck...
We shall depose your attitude...and your lives!
He points in the vicinity of Kalizama, Trane, Chaandra, Uldar and Roran and suddenly you are subject to a blast of tremendous cacophony! You experience sonic damage:
Kalizama:
Trane:
Chaandra:
Uldar:
Roran:
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya . . .
Fortitude:
Uldar attempts to cover behind the wall in order to resist most of the blast. Still he grimaces, trying to recover from the strong ringing in his ears.
|
|
You all reel in anguish as the loud sound damages each of you. Roran is stunned for one round! He drops his weapon and stares off into space...
Bugbears D, E and F move into battle, swinging their morningstars at their foes!
D (at Roran):
E (at Uldar):
F (at Chaandra):
All three attacks miss!
Group 3: Kalizama, Trane and Cananthir
Trane moves forward (I7) and mauls the bugbear (e).
Chaandra shifts (to I9) and attacks the bugbear (d).
|
..from behind the brave adventurers maniacal laughter is heard above the battle din...
A tattered and disheveled elf moves swiftly past Velcore and Kalizma then dives into a controlled roll next to Uldar, who uncannily dodges, beyond a bugbear and into the fray!
Oddly enough during the roll Carp tries to bite the bugbear, his blade flashing with much ado...
|
|
Trane moves toward bugbear E and tears into it with both claws! He savagely tears the creature to pieces, killing it!
Chaandra turns and attacks bugbear D, trying to rake with its claws and gnash with its teeth...but the bugbear manages to parry all of her attacks!
Cananthir joins the group, and he manages to swiftly dodge past those in his way and avoids an attack of opportunity from bugbear E. He prepares his attack...and watches in fascination as the foe drops dead at his feet from Trane's attack!
I attack Bugbear D with Magic Missile.
Damage:
"Raaaaaah!!!" Roran roars, cleaving into the next enemy!
Uldar steps back to J6 and double shots at the bugbear just in front (E).
Velcore strides into the room next to Uldar begins to chant and levels his sword at the Orc.
|
|
Will Save:
Velcore moves farther into the room and casts Silence on the Orc. A radius of silence envelopes the creature in a 20 foot radius for the next five rounds...
Group 2: Bugbears
Bugbear F attacks Cananthir, swinging his morningstar weapon and smacking him with a solid blow for seven points of damage!
The Orc G moves forward, leaps on the table, and attacks Roran (the circle of silence following him) , swinging a powerful longsword down and inflicting eight points of damage!
More creatures move into the room:
The bugbear that escaped you earlier in the northern battle appears, (Bugbear H) plants his feet, pulls a glowing arrow back toward his ear, and grins as it launches it at Velcore but the shaft flies over his head and shatters on the wall.
Two humans enter the room and immediately enter combat:
Human I has a crimson hooded robe with gold embroidered skulls on front and back; he is wearing a golden chain around his neck with a fire amulet upon it, and wears chain mail armor and carries a shield. He joins the Orc in attacking Roran swinging an evil-looking scimitar , slicing him for eleven points of damage!
Human J advances north toward Cananthir. He wears a robe of deep crimson with a purple lining and gold trim; it has gold skulls on front, back, and sleeves. His gold fire symbol (on golden chain) is set with a nice ruby. He wears chain mail that softly glows, and a shield, and carries two hammers, one of which glows as he swings it down but Cananthir parries the blow!
Chaandra flurries at the orc on Roran.
Trane begins attacking the bugbear (G), and once he falls, he steps over his body and attacks the other enemy (I)
I step back to J-3 and cast Flaming Sphere on I in H-9. DC 15
Damage:
Velcore shuffles backward out of the silence spell and begins to chant again. "Bnus yrel pavx ub a bhzicw wnibbuc, yrel luuc-yu-pel-wuttelll relfelt Lelwnovrelc yrel Inuc Wanwuzhel'l ficwl bnus ril putz." He pulls a small bag from his belt pouch and at the end of his chanting three giant spiders burst from the bag flinging webs at the enemies.

Both are standard actions with a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 creature's HD + creature's Con modifier. Attempts to burst a web by those caught in it suffer a –4 penalty.

Uldar steps on the empty spot freed from Velcore and depending on where the giant spiders get positioned, the halfling shots at G or J, whomever is free from cover.
