Gosric follows along closely behind Clair, looking over his shoulder the whole way.  "I hope noone needs my healing powers; best to avoid all that."

Bruga saves his breath for his legs, but he does stay behind Clair.

A spurt of flame plumes up from the water fall filling the room with steam...

  Kree's borw  furrows  a bit  as he taps the dwarf on the shoulder to move back  a few yards  as the steam arrives....

  then the wave  of fear wshes  over him, he pulls on the dwarf's shoulder  and begins  to head towards the exit.

Senuviel breathes deeply as he feels the coming of the beast. The warrior/mage struggles to keep his nerves on as he sees the effects of the presence of the beast acting upon Kree. The elf urges his friends to run outside. The beast is too much for us. Kree, Khorden, to the exit now! Quickly! Let's live today to fight another day. Saying that, Senuviel urges Kree and Khorden towards the exit.

The fear bubbles up in Khorden's very being and he allows the grasping hands of Kree and Senuviel to persuade him to turn and flee.  At the least, Khorden manages to hold the hilt of his blade in near nerves fingers.


13:25, Today: Khorden Stonegrip rolled 11 using 1d20. ST vs. Magic (Fear).

In reply to Khorden Stonegrip (msg #71):

OOC - I hope my lady luck guides you guys out safely.

OOC:  or Beshaba causes it to trip...or a stalagtie palls  and impales it

The party runs for their lives 3 rounds later they are all back together in the bat room... the creature has not followed them to here.

  Kree is  less-then-pleased with himself,...My friends..please, except  by apologies...I have  never run from danger like a sacred school girl...I have skirted  it, i have  went  around it, when it was prudent..but i have never ran before...."

 Khorden is obviously put out about something, but is disinclined to comment.  Finally, "Enough, let's grab what we came fer and put this vile place aback o' us."

In reply to Khorden Stonegrip (msg #76):

OOC - I shall assume Clairs group is outside waiting on the rest?

Senuviel speaks while catching his breath. Let's move out of here. Grab your gear folks and move along, I take the back. Senuviel waits his comrades grab their gear and move. The warrior/mage prepares his bow and moves along covering the back of the group during their retreat.

  Kree, still in somewhat of  a dour mood, takes the point,now?  are  we hunting...or looking for a camp spot?

Oddly enough, Khorden makes no comment to Kree's taking point, despite the fact that The task of leading people about in caves is a job well suited to a Dwarf.  Instead, Khorden just ambles in Kree's wake, falling into whatever place in the marching order he just happens to fall.

OOC:  we are out of the cave now? if not..Kree would have had the dwarf go first.

Then good for you, Kree, for your wisdom today. When the group finally emerges, he judged how near to darkness it is,

Clair, my thanks to your Mistress.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg #82):

Smiling, I also am in prayer of thanks to my lady of luck. looking thoughtful Tonight I will make extra prayers on her behalf and sacrifice a set of dice for her. feeling for the dice  No worry Goseric, I always carry a spare grinning so we can finish our game for tonight. ... I think it was your roll for watch duty or not.

Bruga, let's find us a nice safe camp sight and wait out our friends, keep an eye on them, I hope they will be along soon.  Smiles, when we go get the bat dung I will need a brave strong man ... Bruga ... you can guide me back in the cave, or any cave after that.

Clair sets up camp and awaits her companions return.

You guys can now be outside, when the party exits teh caves there is a quake the entrance collapses behind you the cave no more.

 The  elf  stands , looking at the rocks  bouncing  down the , now  covered  mouth....It is a shame, we lacked  a more worthy party, to try and take down that beast...one can only wonder, what riches  it had in its lair...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #85):

Kree, sometimes gold is not worth the price hence it becomes fools gold.  Yup, we probably would not survived an encounter with that fellow at our current experience and add a cave in, yikes even if we survived the creature surly not the cave in.  Think of it this way.  It was not our primary target, the slavers are so ...

 Taking one  last look at the cave mouth,..think of what  we could have  gained with the coin, or ..what items there may have been, to fight the slavers

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #87):

True, if you were alive to use them.

Khorden looks at the cave-in. "Time to be moving on." he grumbles, having little stomach for Kree's comments about their shortcomings, taking almost as a personal insult.

For a moment, Bruga's eyes sparkle. Then he nods and begins to scout for a level place near good water. Before he gets far, the earthquake happens. After it, he remarks We know where the cave entrance is. It may be possible to clear the rubble.
