Nash conjures a magical ward and steps forward to open the door.
"Come and die, demon worshipers! Chieftain Sul, wants to here the music of your skulls!"
Two mongrolmen, both shouting out their loudest are in the next room. In the room beyond that is a lizard the size of a pony.
The room smells of cooked meat and rank bodies. There are plenty of bedrolls here, filled with glowing coals.
Aenthurien moves into the room and fires at the southern mongrel.
Gorn-Rel once uses his nunchaku, this time managing to strike the hip bone of the mongrolman. It cries out in pain.
Aenthurien launches an arrow, which tears into the ghoulder of the mongrolman.
Having a clear shot to the mongrolman from where she is, Varda launches another arrow.
Varda catches it in the neck! She crumples, bleeding onto the floor
The last mongrolman swings at the monk who dared break his hipbone, but Gorn candidly bats the club away.
The monitor lizard, seeing something attacking a mongrol, charges with its poisonous bite. Gorn-Rel manages to dodge in time!
Varda moves into the room and fires off an arrow at the lizard.
Frekhi moves up to claw at the lizard, but fails to do damage through its tough skin.
The hobgoblin begins to laugh as these demon mongers failed to penetrate his turtle style. He lashes the mongelman with his nunchaku.
But, in his excitement he forgets to actually hit his enemies.
Na'shok and Aenthurien
Horgus wants to get closer, but doesn't really wants less to get so close to a demon...
Aenthurien takes a couple steps and fires at the lizard.
Aenthurien's shot swings wide...
Na'shok moves into the next chamber and sucks in a breath when the giant lizard comes into view. The brawny orcish man moves forward to challenge the beast before slamming his hammer into it.
Na'Shok, despite wielding the heavy hammer, doesn't do any apreciable damage against the huge lizard. It attempts to bite...
Frekhi!
but misses.
The mongrolman continues to strike at Gorn.
This time the club connects on Gorn's leg, creating a big welt.
Frekhi unleashes his animal instincts on the monitor lizard.
However his attacks are ineffective.
The NPCs move up, keeping an eye on the battle.
"Don't give up!"
"Do you need a summons?"
"No. We will master these demon-worshipers!"
Gorn-Rel strikes the Mongrelman and then steps into his square to flank the lizard.
He swings at the lizard but doesn't connect.
Suddenly, the lizard roars in pain, as the wound Na'shok gave it finally registrars to the lizard...
Aenthurien delays, hoping to get a clear shot.
The mongrolman takes a swing at gorn once again, but misses wildly!
Frekhi claws twice at the lizard...
this time connecting once

DELAY: Aenthurien
Aiming to finish the fearsome beast off, Na'shok rears back with his mighty hammer again.
Didn't notice the second 8. Its hard to keep track sometimes.
Flanking the lizard, with Na'shok one of his blows strikes true.
Gorn-Rel manages to knock out the lizard with a strike at its jaw.
Combat over.
There are 10 bedrolls, each piled with coarse blankets and animal furs, which surround a fire pit filled with glowing coals. Tanned hides hang stretched on the walls, each crudely painted with scenes of deformed humanoids hunting giant vermin in caves.
A rack of hooks hangs from the ceiling in the room where the lizard hang from. Cured slabs of meat dangles from them and fills the room with a smoky aroma. A group of barrels appears to hold other preserved foodstuffs.
There are two exits that you have not explored: One to the north and the other to the southeast.
Frekhi rips off a chunk of one of the slabs of meat and devours it. He starts looking into the other barrels for food. After he's had his fill, he will go through the northern exit.
Gorn-Rel goes with Frekhi. This place is crawling with enemies after all.
The meat you was very stringy, over-salted, and fairly unappetizing.
The worked stone walls of this large room hold a number of shelves, each of which display the preserved bodies of dire rats, bats, rock vipers, cave lizards, and other creatures that pose in eerie stillness. A pair of bedrolls have been laid out to the southeast.
Door to the east and ladder to the north from H10.
Frekhi will open the eastern door.
Aenthurien follows along, after having his fill.
A muted roar echoes down the walls of this hallway. Near the eastern end, the worked stone give way to natural cave walls, just before the hall ends at an open shaft. Hanging over the edge of the shaft is a knotted rope- the other end tied to an iron spike driven into the ground.
"Down it is."
Frekhi climbs down the knotted rope, and splashes down into the muddy water below. The cold water is very cold. Suddenly two shadowy shapes swim from below the waters and attempt to take a bite at Frekhi.
With a yelp, you see Frekhi pulled underwater, blood rising to the surface.

Na'shok frowns at the watery ambush before diving into the water. With a nod, he commands Larissa to come with him.
Gorn-Rel will also jump in to give Na'shok the cover he needs to retrieve the wolf-man.
Activating Snapping Turtle and double moving into the water.
Varda moves to the other door and checks it for traps before opening it.
