"They didn't tell me much. I suppose we should check out that door though."
On the door, I am agreeing, but I cannot do anything about that.

The room seems to be devoid of creatures, as a search turns up nothing but metal debris. The door is a great metal circle that blends almost seamlessly into the metal wall around it. There does not seem to be any way of opening it.
As you stand, wondering what to do next, Theodric and Kit both hear a scraping noise, as though stone were being drawn across metal.
Theo arcs a brow, motioning everybody back from the door. He raises his pistol to it. "Show yourself!"

From behind you comes a high-pitched scream, like that of a wild animal except raised several octaves. As the scraping of metal on stone alerted you, you are not completely surprised by the ambush, however.
Rising from the pile of debris is a tiny, grey, bat-eared humanoid with a mouth full of needle-like sharp teeth. It has orange glowing eyes and it screams, "Attack the bigguns! Kill! Kill!"
From the corridors behind you come three more of the creatures, brandishing sword-like shards of metal.
The jinkins leap to the attack, one attacking Anvil, another attacking Fuzzles, and the leader engaging Theo. Their blades bite deeply into each victim.

He also tries to recall what he knows about these creatures.
Theo stores his pistol, then quickly draws his sword and clashes with it in one fluid motion.

Anvil casts shocking grasp, sending a current through his attacker. The gremlin shrieks with a high-pitched sound that is not unlike nails on a chalkboard and smokes slightly, but remains standing.
In the same instant, kit slashes at the jinkin and disembowls it.
Theodric slashes with his sword but connects only with stone. Meanwhile, Pier strains himself trying to think what he might know about these creatures, but comes up empty-handed. He takes a swing, but the agile gremlin easily dodges the blow.
Cheshire moves to flank Fuzzles' foe, but still manages to miss his target. Fuzzles, however, clamps his jaws down upon the pest, nearly severing it's arm!
Druenor casts bless, benefitting the entire party.
All three enemies attack with short sword and bite. The sword attacks hit their targets, and Pier is bitten, but the effect is minimal now that they no longer have the advantage.
Theo dashes to one side, rolling behind the enemy and setting up a flank with Druneor.
Druneor knowing the fight is to close for his spear, steps back towards Fuzzles, and attempts to hit the Jinkin by Theo.
Pire takes another swing at the jinkin, irritated with the tiny foe.

Unable to reach a foe, Anvil delays.
Kit moves to confront the foe menacing Theo, slashing wildly. The attack catches the creature by surprise and it staggers, but does not fall. However, in the next second, Theo moves into flanking position with Druenor and eliminates the creature with a deep slash to it's midsection. It falls in a pool of green blood.
Pire engages the remaining foe, but misses in his attack.
Fuzzles strikes again at the creature that he wounded earlier, slashing it open and letting it's blood drain onto the floor. Seeing that Fuzzles has this foe under control, Cheshire moves to flank Pier's opponent and strikes. The creature is badly wounded, but still moving.
The remaining jenkin begins casting a spell, but Cheshire and Pire both strike simultaneously. Both attacks miss and the creature opens a glowing portal in midair, stepping through and the portal closing behind it.
Theo wipes off his blade, storing it away. "Whew! Hadn't brought that old piece of steel out in a while!"
Pire sheathes his sword, and rubs his shoulder where the Jinkin bite him. "Ugh, what a bunch of little jerks. I wonder where that last one went?"
Seeing the last of them is gone, Druneor looks around Anyone hurt ?
Nethys, grant me the strength.
"Yeah I took a little scratch. Jumped me is all."
Pire sighs from the healing washing over him, before returning to the matter at hand. "Ah, thanks for that. Anyway, he used Dimension Door to get out of here, so he can't have gotten far. I suggest we keep looking for him. Don't want him stalking us as we explore the area, after all."
She wipes her claw clean, looking at her work. Then to rest of group
"That was fun!" she gives them a toothy grin

Aye, fun enough. Druneor says with a grin, now can anyone open that door. indicating the door.
Cheshire looks around as combat ends. "I think Fuzzles took a hit or two."
Theo begins searching the bodies of the fallen.

After a couple of kicks to the door Theo steps away shaking his head. "Don't think I can break it down. You want to take a try at it Kit'Arr?"
She gives him a wide eyed look of shock
"What makes you think i would do such a thing?!"
Almost instantly a few tools, appear in her claws
"Oh. Right. These." she gives him a wink and goes to inspect the door
-Posted with Wayfinder
Cheshire looks at the weapons looking to see if the scrap was of value.
Chuckling, Druneor moves to a spot where he can help kit, if there is a problem.
Pire leans back, and places a hand on his chin, surveying the door. "A dead end, or...?" He whips out a small, red-leather book, glancing between it and the door, examining it closely for anything he might have missed.
"Na, too strong for that. I imagine we'll have to find some other way to open it. Let's try checking out these passageways. Leftmost one first?"
Sounds good to me.
Cheshire looks up from the metal trash and looks at the situation he asks Fuzzles as if the cat could catch him up, "Did they try pushing?"
Druneor looks over at Cheshire Try pushing he says, it looks solid from here. he walks over and leans on the door, but not really putting his back into it.
