Pointing to the wall, Bejis asks, "Anyone have an idea about what made this tunnel?"
Bejis looks to the ground, but frowns as he is unable to discern what might have passed recently. Looking to the left, Bejis examines the door.
Know Nature :
Tracking (Survival) - just in case...
"They'd have stayed below ground to get the advantage of the dark, not gone up into the light where our friends await."
You can name any number of creatures that can burrow but none capable of ripping through solid rock. The door is boarded up, as in someone took a number of wood planks and nailed them across the door to prevent it from being opened.
After seeing that the door hasn't been used recently, Bejis continues down the passage, greatsword in hand. He listens to see if he can hear anything ahead as he walks.
Blah ten minutes until i ahve to walk out the door.
as you walk down the tunnel further it widens out further and splits into three branches. One goes further east and two side paths turn into staircases that lead upward to more doors. These do not appear to have been sealed off.
Bejis looks to Bloodless, pointing in turn to each way forward.
Bloodless takes a quick knee and looks at the ground for a moment.
Survival
Bloodless indicates the path that has seen the most recent/main activity... "This way"
Calla continues to keep a close watch for any threats, content at the moment to follow Bloodless and Bejis' lead.
Bypassing the sidetunnels and continuing to go down the main tunnel it veers sharply to the right again leading you south. Suddenly Bloodless stops and signals to his ear before he signals around the corner..
Sure enoguh as you listen there is the shuffling of steps and the creakin of weapons and armor down that way waiting in the dark.
"Thats you Bejis, I will be right behind you. Ready?"
On Bejis signal, Bloodless will go tearing in behind/beside Bejis...
Bejis quietly speaks to the group, "Bloodless and I will take the center. Calla, LeVash, take the sides to protect our flank. Asmodia, be on the lookout for the source of any Darkness spells, or any undead that might be lurking around. May Gorum guide us."
Bejis turns towards the enemy, then starts to slowly advance down the corridor. The light source makes him stand out in the dark, but he has an almost sixth sense for any incoming attacks.
LeVash nods, content with Bejis' directions.
Calla takes a flanking position, preparing to advance.
"If there are several of them, Ah have a spell that may be able to help us out," she says.
Asmodia is still providing light via her temporarily enchanted rapier, and continues to move with the group.
"Solid plan Bejis"
Traveling down the corridor with Bejis's odd studdering steps the group finally comes out to what looks like a large barracks. Suddenly a trio of dogs leaps from cover and the tieflings waiting in ambush emerge as well. As they head torwards the corridor torwards you with a battlecry a slightly different but too familiar dusty voice calls. "Dottari scum! Let the bastards of erebus take you into hell!"

Round 1: You.
Asmodia touches Calla with (2/6) and she gains a +1 sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks and saving throws for this round.
"Defend Bejis!" she says.
Calla levels her spear, using it to help keep the dog off of Bejis.

Bejis yells a wordless battle cry, swinging at the next dog.
"It seems that it is once again up to you, Bejis"
He then steps back to give everyone some maneuvering room.
The hounds, savage things with baleful red eyes and hatefilled glares leap for your throats and Bejis and Bloodless finds it difficult to hold them back with his blade. Meanwhile people duck and weave as bolts fly from the tieflings crossbows and strike the wall and stone. Meanwhile the mummy cackles and cries "See now the error of your ways! See now the fate of those who enter our lair! WITNESS YOUR DOOM!"
Your turn!
One minor error Levash is actually above Asmodia on the map.
"Push up if we can. Ah need to be closer for mah spell," Calla whispers.
Stupefied, Bejis only manages to step to -K29, to cover the flank.

"Will press the minute I can, we have a wall of these b@stards keeping us wedged in the coridoor again"

Bloodless hacks down the first of the hounds with ease and Bejis steps through the gap.
"If you're not going to do anything, get out of the bloody way!" Calla yells, stepping forward behind Bejis.
She'll jab with her spear at one of the dogs, twisting the spear as she feels it sink into the beast's chest.
LeVash shrugs, and steps forward backto L27, Last timete call was for everyone to move back. I'll never figure these people out.
"Looks like its up to you to open a hole."
If Asmodia can move up and aide anyone to hit in melee, she will, if she hits AC 10.
With a sharp jab Calal wounds one of the dogs who yelps briefly adn then snarls with renewed hatred. The dogs continue to assault Bejis, their current favorite target. But he bats them away even as his eyes blink from the mental assault of the mummy.
Three of the tieflings meanwhile hidden in the darkness continue firing at the group and one scores a wildly lucky and successful shot on calla.
As Calla takes the bolt to her shoulder her attackers are cloaked in darkness once more as the rearmost tiefling uses the legacy of his blood to unleash the shadows.
And in the darkness the mummys cackle chills your spine as pure magical force flies from the shadows and strikes bejis . "DOOOOOMMEEED!"
Group is up!
Asmodia moves back 10 feet so that only the party are part of her Channel Energy (4/5) to heal damage.
"Move to your right, big man," Calla calls to Bejis.
Assuming he complies , the half-elven warrior drops her long spear and pulls her sword, stepping up , and hacking at the dog to her left. At the same time, she again dips into one of the pouches at her belt, and throwing a pinch of colored sand in front of her, speaks words of arcane power.
"Move to your right, big man," Calla calls to Bejis.
That would be an impressive feat considering that's solid rock.
You'd have to make a spellcraft check.
Edit: Screw it. Nothing stops you guys from makin these rolls in your own posts.
Calla's spell craft
Asmodia's spellcraft
LeVash's Spellcraft
One last thing.
Here's a zoom in of BEjis's point so you know what him going through the way he suggested entails.
He won't be able to five foot shift through that huge hunk of stone there. He'll have to do it the painful way. If there is a bright side to that action it means the rest of the group can wade through the hole without fear of attacks of oppurtunity...if I dont have combat reflexes.
"Bejis has been dazed. He was unable to act this round... Likely this spellcaster will continue to focus his attacks on him."
We need to get him out of there one way or another. If he'd rather fall back, I'm fine with that, but standing in front of us is just getting him killed and us stuck...I figured he could step up five feet and then move to his right, hopefully going full defensive and thus not getting hit.
Bejis slashes his greatsword at the hound
Greatsword, PA: (+2 insight from Inspiring Command from last round, I think it's still applicable...) for .
Bejis then moves through the opening, following Calla's directions.
Seeing Bejis surge forward, LeVash takes the opportunity to move as well, passing moving forward and then to the side .
When he arrives, he holds forth his now drawn club, "City's might, lend me power to smite these bastards and their little b$@&!es"
Bloodless follows Bejis through the breach and swings to the side of the enemy mob.
Bloodless to -H27, attacks Favoure Enemy -G28

As the group surges forward in a skull splitting spellcasting and foe cutting frenzy the mummy starts to register a bit of fear. As he rushes torwards the door on the far end he calls for aid. "Palaveen! Ostengo! Get out here! We need help!" HE throws a spell behind him to delay the group.
The dog attempts to retaliate against Calla's vicious wounding but fails to get through her armor. Her spell catchs the tieflings in a rainbow spray and renders nearly all of them unconscious.
Group is up!
Asmodia moves up again to -K28 and casts to determine the source of the Darkness spell and begins concentrating.
LeVash moves west and casts Produce Flame. By the light of the flames in his hands he sees the mummified creature moving to the door.
"At last. Now I've got you."
Bejis return's the mummy's cry back to him, "Gorum, bring him his DOOM!"
Bejis flies into a rage, and charges the Mummy.
Bloodless turns his affections on the upstanding Hound...
