"He's in trouble! C'mon!" Tenna rushed out of the room, forgetting the strange passageway Bogo had discovered and nocking an arrow on the run.
"I'll go get 'im." She walked out, heading towards the area Herve had been searching.
As Bogorin and Talden gaze at the secret door Bogorin has found Tenna and Willy checking on Herve realise they can hear the sounds of battle from the storeroom to the south.
Willy runs into the other room to see what's going on.
Willy runs into the other room to see what's going on.
"What! Where the blasted saints do ye think yer goin'! Dale must be..." realizing he's now only talking to empty air, Bogorin swears profusely and takes off after the Tenna and Willy.
I'm assuming he'll eventually hear the sounds of battle so :Initiative 1d20=19
Seeing the others rush off after Herve Talden readies his ax and runs to catch up thinking to himself, "What, does this guy want to get himself killed?".
Bogorin having traced the perimeter of the secret door is now looking for the opening mechanism something he thinks will be easy to find now that he has Talden helping him.
While still fighting on the defensive , Herve seems to have taken the measure of his adversary
Att 20, Damage 5
He still has AC 23 against it

The ghoul curses back.
The ghoul leaps down to land on the ground before you as Herve sweeps in and catches it in the side with his longsword.
The dwarf tries to catch it with his spell again but this time misses smashing into the crates behind it as he tries to avoid hitting Herve.The ghoul turns and swipes at Herve before moving towards the dwarf and Old Carter.
While still fighting on the defensive , Herve strikes at exactly the same place as before hurting the ghoul yet more

Tenna skidded to halt at the sight of the ghoul. "Gods! What is that?!" she shouted as she let loose an arrow purely on frightened reflex.
"I dunno, but its ugly and it stinks! Lookit Hervy go, he can fight!"
Willy takes a swipe with his axe.
Caught by Herve's blow it slams back into the crates as Tenna fires her arrow at it.
It nimbly dodges as Willy rushes up and swings his axe only for the ghoul to duck under his blow and pulls back its swordarm to strike back at the lumberjack...
"I said b****r off!" the dwarf hollers as he swings his axe as another blur of force flashes past Willy and slams into the ghoul sending it tumbling backwards.
The ghoul rolls back to its feet and launches itself forward missing Herve as he steps back to allow the others access to their undead foe.

Talden & Tenna:
Willy:
Hopeless:
The sight of the unholy beast quickened Tenna's reflexes at the very least. "Kill it!!" She quickly let loose two arrows, one after the other.

The first shot bounces off its shiny dwarven forged chainmail armour, the second doesn't even come close.
Tenna:
Seeing the wretched creature in the room Talden charges the monster and makes a vicious swipe with is axe.
Charge attack against ghoul (AC=15 for the remainder of the round) (1d20+7=26, 1d8+2=4)

It screams with rage as your blow severs its left arm (unfortunately its wielding the sword in it right hand) staggering it recovers swiftly its eyes fixed upon the injured Old Carter with a spiteful sneer.
Willy:
Seeing the Ghoul Bogorin's bushy eyebrows raise in surprise and revulsion and, without conscious thought, he raises his warhammer as a symbol to Torag and curses loudly in Dwarven
"Raugh-oric gar-Sargh-og!!" at his words and gesture a blast of Holy Energy explodes from his hammer lighting the room brightly for a moment and causing his friends to feel a warm healing glow pass through them and the foul undead to screech horrendously.
The old Dwarf seems more surprised at his actions and their results than anybody...
And although the Ghoul didn't seem to notice Bogorin come into the room at all, it certainly notices him now.

It screams as its body glows as if set alight but the light fades and its eyes glow ever more furious!

Herve miss ( att 8)
The ghoul leaps back atop the remaining crates and seems to stumble disappearing behind them and is now out of sight.
Actions?
"He's gettin' away!"
Willy grabs the ogre's javelin. When it shrinks in his hand he looks at it in wonder. "What da..." He then starts climbing over the crates in hot pursuit.
He has a bit of trouble with the javelin in his hand

Climb check: 1d20+8=14
He has a bit of trouble with the javelin in his hand
It takes him a moment to clamber over the crates although most of them have been damaged in the battle raging in the room.
You do manage to climb up enough to see that behind them is a now wide open secret door leading out of sight.Although you can't see the ghoul you swear you can hear running footsteps leading away from you...
"I Hear you!" Willy bellows and hurls the javelin at where the footsteps are coming from:
"I Hear you!" Willy bellows and hurls the javelin at where the footsteps are coming from:
You reach back and then throw the javellin... which is the last thing any of you remember for quite a while....
Some time later and by that I mean your light sources have gone out and you are covered in dust and soot you find yourselves in the dark and feel covered in bruises.
"Okay..." a voice speaks out from the darkness,"Who threw that lightning bolt!" the dwarven voice asks...
Bogorin rushes up to where Carter lies and says with a mixture of surprise and anger (as if it were somehow the poor man's fault) "What de blazes be ye doin' 'ere Carter! We sent ye off ona wagon tae the town!" then, rounding on the strange dwarf and raising his warmmer in a mildly threatening manner he continues in Dwarven "'n who ye be?! If'n ye've harmed ma friend Carter it's a Rockstomper ye'll have tae be answern' tae. Speak quick now lad!"
Getting up as quickly as he can, Bogorinm using his Darkvision, quickly looks around to make sure all his friends are ok.
Here's the updated map:
Lights out
Bogorin rushes up to where Carter lies and says with a mixture of surprise and anger (as if it were somehow the poor man's fault) "What de blazes be ye doin' 'ere Carter! We sent ye off ona wagon tae the town!" then, rounding on the strange dwarf and raising his warmmer in a mildly threatening manner he continues in Dwarven "'n who ye be?! If'n ye've harmed ma friend Carter it's a Rockstomper ye'll have tae be answern' tae. Speak quick now lad!"
"My name's Angus, met your friend here after a scuffle with a changeling on the trail, he was aboard some wagon being drawn by some horses real weird it was," Angus nods back.
Willy threw the javellin and a moment later an almighty blast shakes the entire complex sending all of you to the ground and putting out all of the lights...
"Okay who threw that lightning bolt?" Angus asks after a moment of confusion.
Willy sets up and rubs his head. "Wha happen? Bogey, anybody? Can you hear me?"
Willy sets up and rubs his head. "Wha happen? Bogey, anybody? Can you hear me?"
"That javellin you threw must have been a javellin of lightning, where in Vudrani did you find it, its lucky you threw it down that passage but its now collapsed shut I doubt that ghoul escaped either but it does mean the only way out is back through the front entrance I assume?" a voice answers you.
"Oh right only your friend here can see in the dark, right?" the voice asks someone out of sight of you.
"So anyone have a light source?" the voice asks.
"You... should have three vials of holy water from Nagira, shake one of them they act as a light source if you can't light a torch or lantern," another voice interrupts this one although weak is easily recognisable as Old Carter.
Seeing all of his friends are fine and realizing that the newcomer was not responsible for the blast, Bogo backs down and answers Willy "Aye lad, I be here n' I kin see ye just fine, ugly as ye are. We'll git some light in 'ere real quick like, don't ye worry none. Seems that javalin o' yers was a right powerful weapon n' I ain't the sorts tae be leaving such behind, especially when it may mean an enemy gits tae use it. Uncoverin' it'd be a task fer another time though. We still gots ma Dale tae rescue."
Turning to the newcomer Bogorin says, in common this time "So, I ye've given me yer name but not what you be doing here following us around. And why 'n the blazes would ye bring a wounded n' poisoned man back intae a den o' danger!"
