"Whilst I have good armour, I am going to need it if there are any traps or other problems, whilst you can actually find the problems first, which is a better option. I will still cover you, and if there is any issue you can run behind me. But if I have to open doors and stuff, I do not get to use the crossbow."

"I will lead if that will help our good gnoll feel more comfortable."

I follow Goran to sniff and listen. Goran stop often for me to smell.

Goran leads the way slowly.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 544):

Urrun can smell human spoor from the door, more than a few days old, and fairly foul.

Urrun says he smells human, day old etc. to the others.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 546):

They small key on the plank fits this lock.  Something scrapes on metal furter down the long dark hall...it rattles too!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 547):

Hograth gets the crossbow read,looking for a target and he moves through.

[Private to GM: Will be away, but actions will be targeting vitals, then stowing crossbow and switching to axe and sheild. Effective skill 18, 6 if he gets a chance to aim. Rolled 9...14 imp damage to vitals if possible.]

Be alarm trap?

Goran sets his shield in preparation for an attack. When his companions signal their readiness, he begins to cautiously advance.

He moves to support Goran

In reply to Urrun (msg # 551):

There is something scrabbling in the dark up the corridor somewhere ahead...


Urrun can make a scent roll at -2

Urrun raises his nose and sniffs...




[Private to GM: 19:40, Today: Urrun rolled 11 using 2d6+3.  Perception - smell. Perecption is 12 and a =3 for acute smell makes it 15, so I should have made it.]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 553):

Urrun recognizes the scent of one of those spiny rat things further up the hallway.

Ugh, smell spiny rat up ahead.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 555):

Hograth looks keenly into the darkness, crossbow ready...

[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under perception. Night vision negates up to 5 of darkness penalties.]

Goran leads the group cautiously forward.

Urrun readies his sling, a large (crushing) pellet in the webbing.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 558):

Something scrabbles forward- it is another of those oversized rats with quills.

Urrun quickly winds up and throws his sling stone.




[Private to GM: 12:25, Today: Urrun rolled 13 using 3d6.  Slinging sling stone. Made by 1
12:25, Today: Urrun rolled 11 damage using 2d6+3 Crushing. ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 560):

The creature squeals, and is knocked back, but is still alive, barely.

In reply to Giant maned rats (msg # 559):

Hograth aims carefully at it for a moment as the sling stone hits it.

[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under skill, or 9 under skill + acc to hit, 15 imp damage.]

Goran holds the line, his shield between the creature and his companions.

Wait. Swing morningstar if the rat gets adjacent to Goran.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 563):

Hograth's bolt flies true, and the rat skids back out of the light with a rattling of quills, dragged by the passing bolt and leaving a trail of blood and venom.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 564):

Hograth begins to reload the crossbow...it takes some time.
