Dena screeches.
"This room looks unoccupied - let us go in and search it, there might be more mushrooms to be found. Asther, you can lead Bess in, there is plenty of room for her in there."
Vartan walks into the room, sheathing his sword.
Thimble walks over to the anvil and runs his hand over the dents. "What is this?"
Thimble never makes it to the anvil. A soon as he and Vartan reach the middle of the room, Asther's light goes out and the room plunges into darkness (although Thimble can still see). You hear a leathery fluttering noise above you just before something rough and grasping drops on Thimble's and Vartan's head. You can feel it trying to grab your head like a big leathery bag with claws and teeth.
The creature attacking Thimble sinks claws into him , but Thimble's wild struggles prevent the creature from latching onto his head. Vartan manages to dodge the other creature again.
Asther shines her light again.

Thimble takes a mighty swipe at the creature attacking him with is greataxe and connects solidly. The creature flops to the ground, not moving. Asther's scimitar lights up again, driving away the unnatural darkness that was filling the room.
By the way, the light shows one dead creature and one still attacking Vartan.
Dena attacks the creature on Vartan
The fox yelps in fright
Dena attacks the creature engaged with Vartan; however her talons fail to penetrate the creatures thick hide.
"Foul beast! Die!" Vartan hisses and swings his longsword at the creature.
longword attack (1d20+7=24)
slashing damage (1d8+5=13)
His sword slices deeply into the creature and it falls to the ground.
"Vile creatures."
Thimble looks at the anvil.
Its a big anvil, a shrine to some old Dwarven god. Its surface is chipped and scarred like its been beat on with a hammer, and there is writing scratched into it (that you can't read).
On its top surface, you notice five small octagonal-shaped depressions.

Vartan starts to search the rest the room.

Thimble turns to Asther and Vartan, "It'll probably sell good." Thimble looks at the writing," Can either of you read dwarven?"
Thimble turns to Asther and Vartan, "It'll probably sell good." Thimble looks at the writing," Can either of you read dwarven?"
Vartan laughs. "That anvil? It might, if we could move it. It probably weighs more than Bess. I was looking for mushrooms, but I do not see any in here."
Thimble sighs and leans against the anvil. "I'm still hurt from the thing" He says gesturing to the monster that had attacked him with a disgusted expresion on his face. "Can either of you heal me please?"
"Don't you have that potion you found on the body in the courtyard?"
Thimble pulls the potion out of the pack and takes one large gulp of the healing potion, wipes his mouth with his arm, and throws it back into the pack. "Should we stay here for the night?" he asks looking at Vartan and Asther.
"Should we stay here for the night?" he asks looking at Vartan and Asther.
"That is a good question Thimble. I believe we can make this room safe. However, time is of the essence; we need to find those mushrooms and get them back to Falcon's Hollow before more townsfolk die of the Taint. But we could certainly rest for a few hours here. What do you say Asther?"
"I don't think we should stay the whole night right now, however I don't think a few resting hours would hurt." She reaches out for Dena who then lands on her shoulder.
"I would prefer to press on, but you both are Injured I understand if you wish to rest. I will keep guard at the door."
Thimble and Asther set out their bedrolls and rest forr a few hours. Vartan does his best to take care of you while you sleep.
Nothing happens during that time, so you wake up feeling better.
The thunder has died down, but you still hear a light rain on the roof above you.
Thimble wakes up and thanks Vartan for keeping watch and healing him.

"You're welcome Thimble. Now shall we go right or left down the corridor outside the doors?
"Left was always lucky for me." Asther laughed. "This sure is an odd labyrinth, isn't it?"
"Left it is then. Come on Thimble, let us go."
You leave the room and turn left down a narrow corridor. Thimble goes first, then Vartan, then Asther leading Bess. It's dark, so Asther lights her Scimitar again. After a shot distance (about 10 feet, the corridor turns right. 10 feet after the turn there is a closed door on you left, and 5 feet after that there is another one.
You can see the corridor stretches straight for a good ways. About 50 feet down the corridor, an open door on the right lets light in from the outside, and 5 feet past that another open door on the left lets in more light. About 60 feet down, you can see the end of the passage, and a dim figure standing there motionless, framed by light coming in from the end of the passage, which is open to the outside.
It is about 5:30 PM, but it is still light enough outside to illuminate the far section of the corridor through the open doors and the open end.

"What now?"
"What is that thing?" Asther said looking at the figure. "Should we attack
it?" Looking at Thimble, she said. "What do you thing, Thim?"
Dena screeches.
