Round 1
With a dagger suddenly coming into her hand Beylinda will move 30ft toward were the bolt came from as she takes a full defense combat posture
Let those who would oppose us end their days in fear she shouts at the menace

"Unless I am much mistaken, we have the numbers. Don't go back, drive ahead to greater space!"
Suiting actions to words, Viorr slips past the minotaur and half-orc ahead of him, testing the depth of the trench.
Sharn - City of Towers - 998 YK - Ninth Day of Dravago -
Beylinda moves into the space over Rission calling up the stairs after her opponents. The yawning darkness does not reply.
Viorr moves down into the sewers proper, he uses his quarterstaff to test the waters finding it only two feet deep, at least in this area. He then steps onto the ledge under a lantern.
Beylinda cannot hear the Warforged up the stairs and they do not respond to her taunts...
In good military fashion, Caelan doesn't break ranks, but waits for the opportunity for the rear to move up as the front moves forward.
"Rission!", Taryn calls out as the only person he knows in all of Sharn collapses. As he moves up to his fallen friend his mark begins to glow and suddenly fog fills the stairs beginning just beyond Beylinda.
Hearing the confrontation behind him and expecting the worst in front Dharakk heeds Viorr's advice and moved into the sewer.
Erix too moves towards the sewer, wanting the room to use his whip.
Sharn - City of Towers - 998 YK - Ninth Day of Dravago -
Gauntlet reaches down to cradle Rission as Taryn cries out "Rission".
Once Taryn reaches his friend he can feel he has a pulse though the two bolts protrude, one from each shoulder!
Dharakk and Erix move into the sewer tunnels timing the opening of the valves so as to not run afoul of the rushing water once it is released.
Beylinda still cannot see or hear anything coming form the stairs.

Pink eye moves out into the sewer looking for the enemy:
Pink-Eye rushes to the next available spot between the valves. He does not se anything, either the enemy has not set up a forward ambush or they did so fairly well.
Ama also rushes to the next available spot between the valves. She along with everyone else down here, is going to need to wash or perhaps even throw away any non-essential now filthy garments.
Carduus sees one of the half-elves go down and people spring into action, moving up and down the line of the narrow corridor, until a billowing fog suddenly clouds his vision. Challenges ring out, but he hears no further sounds of pain or combat. Not sure if we've even found the enemy, let alone wounded them - but one of ours is down for sure. Carduus unclenches the spiritual "muscle" which holds his life-force within him for a brief moment, allowing it to escape in a burst of positive energy.
Sharn - City of Towers - 998 YK - Ninth Day of Dravago -
As the wave of positive energy invigorates the group Rission gasps, "Ah jeez does that hurt".
Haqueton steps forward with his Harpoon raised and a blot deflects off of his weapon.
He throws it up the stairs and into the darkness but it clatters onto the stone floor. Beylinda sees that the Harpoon has a rope tied to the end of it! He immediately begins to pull the weapon back.
Beylinda you hear the sounds of footsteps heading away from you but just one set.

Round 2
Beylinda will continue to move forward toward where the enemy should be using her defensive combat stance and any usable concealment on the way

Beylinda moves up the stairs into full darkness taking the fight back to the enemy!
Haqueton yells up after her, "Wait!"
If an enemy is nearby Beylinda you do not sense one.
Taryn scoops up Rission in the fog and follows his companions down into the sewer. As he goes, he shouts until to Beylinda, "don't try to fight up there alone; come down here with everyone else!"
Taryn scoops up Rission in the fog and follows his companions down into the sewer. As he goes, he shouts until to Beylinda, "don't try to fight up there alone; come down here with everyone else!"
Taryn grips his heavy hammer in both hands and holds it at the ready as he backs down the stairs behind Gauntlet and Rission. As he moves he calls out to Beylinda, "don't try to fight alone up there; come down here with everyone else!"
Seeing the various "safe" spots along the passageway occupied, Caelan stays where he is and waits to see what happens next.
ROUND 2 / INITIATIVE GROUP 3
Damn! We've already split, and not even along the lines of our original allegiances. Carduus peers into the mist ahead and behind in vain. The wounded man's one of mine, though - can't leave him in the lurch. Carduus steps carefully into the mist back the way they came and immediately bumps into the librarian's warforged, who has Rission slung over one shoulder. I let too little life escape - he's barely conscious! Better try a more concentrated method.
The bandaged man grumbles as he reaches out to touch the half-elf. "Curse thrice whoever cursed me thus, but I'll grant a boon through my loss."
Rission coughs a bit, "That is helping! Carduus is that you?"
Sharn - City of Towers - 998 YK - Ninth Day of Dravago -
Erix assumes a defensive stance, his whip poised to strike.
Gauntlet immediately turns and heads down the steps carrying Rission all the way to the end of the corridor, but does not make it all the way out into the tunnel beyond yet. He now stands just south of Caelan, trying to keep an eye out for enemies and other problems.
Caelan says to the folks in the causeway, "Can you get further down? We need to keep moving ahead."

In the Lighted Hallway
Gauntlet as you step into the hall you see that the mist from Taryn's spell has spilled into the hall itself.
Ama holds position and calls back to Caelan, "We can but we need to time our movements. When these valves open a helluva lot of water comes rushing out!"
----
On the Darkened Stairs
Beylinda the dark up those stairs is simply too tough to see into. Haqueton turns to you in the darkness of the stairs, "We need to move, we are at a disadvantage here!"
At that moment another twang from a crossbow alerts you to the fact that your foe has fired upon you again!
Haq Attack Miss Haq
The bolt once again misses you both. Haqueton throws his harpoon once more into the darkness! This time the rope connected to it snaps.
"Dammit", you hear him curse.
---
The Valve Clusters
A creature bursts from the water, "You're all not supposed to be here!" It shouts as it reaches for Ama on the ledge.
Maybe but we will even more at a disadvantage if we let them take us out from their shooting position
She says casting a light spell and moving toward the harpoon in order to retrieve using any means of cover available
Nerves singing for the impending combat, Viorr's stroke is already starting before he really realizes that a creature has emerged from the water.
"Back, Oytugh! " he jibes at the tentacled monster.
Pink Eye sees the thing come from the deep of the sewer a gaping monstrosity and he brings the great axe over head as he has reach and takes a five foot step away to keep it in his reach and hopefully not its own and then attacks:
Sharn - City of Towers - 998 YK - Ninth Day of Dravago -
The Valve Clusters
Pink-Eye and Viorr both strike the Otyugh which cries out in pain, "Mommy. Daddy. Help me!" At that moment water streams out of the valve giving the creature cover to dive back into the water from whence it came.
The water runs red and green with the brackish blood of the creature!
Erix, Dharakk, and Caelan no longer see it though it likely was not slain it is doubtful it will re-surface.
Ama gives the chamber more light to go along with that which was already in place though hers is of better quality
-----------
On the Darkened Stairs
Beylinda charges up the stairs this time with a light spell! At the edge of her light she can see one of the Warforged re-loading a crossbow.
Sharn - City of Towers - 998 YK - Ninth Day of Dravago -
"There's something wrong here," Taryn says uncomfortably, "this mist shouldn't be writhing like this..." His dragonmark begins glowing brightly and a blast of fast moving wind begins clearing away the fog.
Sharn - City of Towers - 998 YK - Ninth Day of Dravago -
Taryn's gust of wind clears the hall of the obscuring mist as well as the mist that seemed to leak out from that spell!

I got you now Warforged ! she says as she cast a spell then moves into close combat
