"I am well".
Jakun takes his rope and ties up the one he color sprayed, "When this one recovers, he can lead us through this maze, or he can meet a fate similar to his companions".

"We tied many up and i disposed of their weapons in the latrine, but who knows how many more there may be. Let us continue our search for what else can we do?"
Guys, I am going to spend some time tonight unwinding this story. I am actually going to set up my old computer now that I no longer work from home on the regular and get my photoshop back online Rocks Fall all the NPCs die, we win! :-)
Jakun charges at one of the Lotus Dragons seeking to gore him with his horn! Gore Attack - Damage
Present.
Jakun steps in front of Tragon getting as close as necessary to unleash his spell! Color Spray Effects: Will Negates - Save DC 15.
A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned, perhaps also blinded, and possibly knocking them unconscious. Each creature within the cone is affected according to its HD. 2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.) 3 or 4 HD: The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round. 5 or more HD: The creature is stunned for 1 round. Sightless creatures are not affected by color spray.

"Shall we retrace our steps backwards through this place then? Or, perhaps exit and re enter from the shop above?"
"If they have escaped, perhaps we should alert the authorities to this place, unless we believe that these rogues are within the pockets of the law in this place..."
Have fun!
Jakun, this time, is close to the front, his most currently potent spell requires that his allies not be caught within its debilitating cone.
"We know now they know we are here, the advantage of surprise has been lost. Do we tactically retreat and return with a larger force, assuming one can be found? Perhaps we burn their shop front and close up their exits to the surface? I am trying to consider all options here my friends..."
The Minotaur snorts, "And here I thought we were moving through so successfully undetected".
Jakun readies a spell in case of any surprises.
Jakun is wary, "Beyond the door is where I was ambushed through a secret door, at least we now know it is there. They also could have gone up and out as Kersh did. They have the advantage of knowing this place much better, do we back track or move forward into this small killing corridor?"
Jakun nods as well in agreement.
"Kersh was a member of this guild. He tricked us, quite well I must admit. He ambushed me with one of his minions, I was able to slay that one but retreated when two more bowman came from secret passages. If any of you can heal me it would be much appreciated. It seems our secrecy has come to and end and we must now fight the fully alerted guild, shall we chase them into their secret passages? Waiting for them to come to us I don't find wise".
Jakun gathers up Kossel and heads back with Taishe, making sure that Norveg is with them as well.
"Check for secret doors, if none, then blast them I shall...though where are the others?"
Jakun takes yet another strike from Kersh, but charges forward nonetheless as out is the only way he will survive with even more foes in the fray. A bolt mises him but strikes his trusty familiar. Kossel HP 11/13. Fortitude save As the door opens, Jakun grins, "I am sorry to have started without you!" He and Kossel head through the now open door. "Close it behind friend Taishe, these are unwanted guests".
Just noticed that the sneak attack on Jakun was a crit threat. I'm going to call it my bad, and not roll it, since Kersh's dice are hot and Jakun looks to be down a lot of HPs right now. I saw that but I had cast Mage Armor so actually I was good as my AC is currently 16 not 12, it's like you just knew!
Jakun roars in laughter despite himself, "Feel free to use the deposit I placed earlier, had I known I was paying to preserve myself, I would have spent on the better package!" Instead of turning to the rapierman, Jakun continues to charge and tries to gore the crossbowman instead. Kossel bites the crossbowman once more: Bite Attack -
Jakuns' Gore Gore attack -
Jakun laughs with mirth, "Spectacular! What a deception! If I am to die at your hands, at least it is at the hands of a clever man and not some fool. Come, let us get to death dealing then!" Jakun gives a mental signal to Kossel to aid him, the familiar leaps from his back and down to strike the oafish fellow with the crossbow. Bite Attack -
Jakun leans forward and charges at Kersh, knowing he is too close to cast a spell without being struck once more. Gore attack -

Well I'm trying but I am not even entirely sure I'm going the right direction.
The Wizard pauses, "Now or never he mutters" and pauses to cast Bear's Endurance. He then heads to that door, hoping the element of surprise is still with him as his companions are under fire below. Perception,
The Minotaur stiffens at hearing the call out, he tries the next door to see if perhaps he can lead that flank...
The Minotaur pauses in the brick hallway, as the others investigate further, he holds, as he is wont to do often being the cautious sort.
Jakun steps back, spells at the ready as Tragon opens the door.
Jakun listens at the southern door, Perception .
"This might be a good place and time for you to make your exit Mr. Kersh, unless you feel very strongly about obtaining bloody revenge. However, in your current condition, I should think justice of the Courts would be safer if not as satisfying".
Jakun grins at Narl, "Good point. And perhaps we can get Mr. Kersh to safety as well".
"Should we try and bar the way behind us before we continue now that there may be another way up from here?" The minotaur seems quite concerned with being snuck up upon!
"Shall we head through yon "secret door" and investigate where or to whom our foe sought to flee?" Jakun nods back at Kersh, "Stay in the middle of the pack new friend Kersh, do you wish the fallens weapons in case defense of your own person may become necessary?"
Jakun snorts, "While it is understandable that this ordeal has been vexing, snapping at those who have rescued you from said predicament isn't appreciated. That said, I suggest you stick with us as we clear these halls of these ne'er do wells as it would not be healthy to run into any further thugs in your current condition. After, we shall return you to the surface and the authorities to report your kidnapping and torture that their nefarious hands".
"What number accosted you and how many have you seen since being dragged here? We have found and neutralized some, but their true numbers are unknown to us".
Jakun snorts as his attack misses but is pleased to see the man go down in a heap at the strike from Tragon. "Yes, we are lucky to have come in so timely a manner. Who are you and what can you tell us about this place? Know that we believe there are many more foes about and the time for talk shall be limited..."
