The Dwarf continues to battle the forces of evil hoping to land a blow on the elusive undead while using his expertise to keep himself safe.
His magically enhanced speed granted him another attack so he gave it a backhanded sweep.

Baltor comes in very cautiously with his shield up on the nearest Specter using his combat expertise to raise his AC to 29 with Haste AC30! He makes a sweep with his Waraxe.
His magically enhanced speed granted him another attack so he gave it a backhanded sweep.
Hi Braveheart, welcome back.
”Dang it. Where did that guy go that had the Ghost Touch Spear? Anyways. I will stay near the center because I can’t damage ghosts, unless you want me full defensive and blocking the casters hoping You can keep me healed?”
”I agree with having a drink. Anyone up for knocking the head off that statue!?” ”Damn thing is looking at me.”
Baltor moves up to the nearest enemy whom he can attack without getting into the way of Lom’s fire.
The dwarf somehow avoids the frenzied attacks and launches a counter strike of his own! ”Gods your breath stinks worse than mine!”
”I’ll cut ya off at the knees demon.” Bloodied, but still in the fight the dwarf warrior swings on!
”Right then! Time to take ya to task!”
”This is hard to hit!”
Baltor moves to attack. His Waraxe swinging in one hand, shield raised with the other!
”Ho! Ho!”
Looks just like him to Baltor.
Baltor eats some pretzels. ”Quick snack before the fight.”
Woot! He’s back.
Let’s get a cleric going. Maybe someone who is willing to take over the existing cleric even?
The compact dwarf cheerfully follows Sorek down the passage.
”Sorek gets real intense on these search phases, don’t worry though, when we find sumthin you’ll know it. Nothing subtitle down here.”
”Heh, seems we are gettin in pretty far without meetin resistance. Hope it’s not because a big baddie is nearby. Usually we are swimming in rats, invisible ogres and skeletons by now.”
”Helps to be reasonably sized for these tunnels! Spear tips up and faced forward towards the enemy! Heh heh heh.”
”Hummm, stout like an oak! I like it!”
”Never underestimate this place, there are single beings near the surface that can wipe out an entire troop of Paladins. Make peace with your gods or ancestors and never faulter or you will join the evil horde below.” The dwarf says with grim reverence. ”Sorek is a good leader, he has found his way in and out many a time and he rescued me when I was the last of my expedition. You can trust his judgement. He points! I punch!”
”What? Beer is food, ale is literally liquid bread, without porters barrels would not be recycled, and a good stout is powerful medicine for the soul.”
”Swarm sounded better to me than a pod, murder or herd of bears.”
”Meh. Yeah, I guess a swarm of bears is pretty damn weird alright. If they disappear then we know they were summoned. If they don’t, then maybe someone controlled them? Anyway, they are gone now. Unless you want to track the one that fled?”
The bears now upon them and invigored by the elf’s spell, the dwarf drops the long spear and lays into the animals with his Waraxe!
”Stand still and take what’s comin!”
Has anyone felt the Summer Heat yet? 43 Degrees Celsius the other day.
”Okay, we are forming a Phalanx Sorek! Ha! I’ve always wanted to try this!”
”You know what’s really great!? These bears are not invisible AND are not illusionary this time. Um, right? The bears are real right?”
Okay, fair is fair.
”Heh! If you are worried about your safety out here, you are gonna love it down there!” ”Heh heh heh!” the dwarf chuckles. ”Nowhere to really run down there, except into the next ambush or back to the last safe room you know of, that’s often now inhabited by new and unspeakably evil housemates. But hey! The treasure is good and so is the challenge!” ”Besides! If I die I get to go live with my ancestors, don’t know about what will happen to the rest of you, I bet Sorek has a spot in the afterlife that includes incense, yoga pants and Tai Chi in the clouds or something.”
Baltor has QuickDraw and an Efficient quiver he can use the spear with so he doesn’t have to drop it, but whatever the DM thinks is best I am fine with.
”Yeah, these guys are great to drink, finger paint and write poetry with, but they aren’t into going underground, digging through rat warrens or feeding ogre parts to strange three legged beasts with hoarding tendencies.”
”Well heck, looks like you have enough members to actually threaten the denizens down there with more than your imminent death. Hey, you find a cleric and a way to see invisible enemies kicking our ass for the fourth room in a row?” ”Heh heh.”
Brvheart could you just choose some item upgrades for Baltor if he got any of the booty. I am assuming he can have the holy longspear from the Ogre attacks unless someone already has it?
”Oh! Isn't it nice
The dwarf sings bawdily until he notices the monk. ”Ah ha! There you are Sorek! You are a hard one to keep up with.”
Okay great!
Getting old freaking sucks.
Sorek, I whole heartedly agree. I don’t want to displace anyone who had to pick up my slack.
Hello everyone, I want to apologize for disappearing like that for weeks. I could give you the play by play, but I am sure many people have been finding these last few months hard for many reasons. I just started picking up my other games and reading everything. I am waiting for surgeries and things have been up and down. I am currently at home and waiting for an opening in the schedule for my procedure. Let me know if I can join back up or if you are happier moving on. I won’t be upset if the answer is no, I know I missed a lot and you have new blood. I just didn’t want to disappear without letting you know I was still alive.
”I keep thinking about that elf in the tomb. Makes you wonder who he was and how he died. Like? Was he some kind of saint? Why didn’t they use raise dead on him? Heh. Maybe we can find a scroll and raise him ourselves. We could use another ally.” The dwarf conversates as he tromps along.
Guys I have been super sick the past 8 days.
”Hackin an slashin!”
”Hey! Looks like you guys have been having a party and here we are to breathe a little life into it.”. The dwarf readies his axe and shield.
I was having problems so I went and got a new Orbi Router. Looks like it’s working now.
”This damn skeleton is zigzagging. Somebody hit this thing! How about some elfy magic or something!”
”Lars! Get off your ass and kill this thing again please!”
”Oh come on! Die again already!”
