chris107: Amir Asad will check their nasty bites for signs of infection. Generally cleaning them up.
Smon: GM: Sandor chases down the tunnel after the rats, catching them 30' down the tunnel, just before a stairway leading down to the left/east.
chris107: (After the raging Barbarian does his stuff)
Smon: NB can Reckless attack?

Smon: The rats speed up, outpacing Sandor.
chris107: "Don't go too far Sandor! We must stick together in this dangerous place."
Sandor Sunneson: true
Smon: At the south end of the tunnel an old wood door in the west wall of the catacomb hangs ajar. The rats scamper through the doorway.
Sandor Sunneson: head back to group
chris107: "Shall weinvestigate?"
Smon: A faint stench of moist decay comes on a breeze blowing through the doorway.
Sandor Sunneson: anything through doorway?
Smon: Svenya: "Well that was fun..."
chris107: Amir reaches out with his mind to sense the presence of wickedness beyond the door.
Smon: Looking through the doorway, Sandor sees another arch, beyond the archway is too dark to see more.
Sandor Sunneson: How are we looking HP wise?
chris107: 15/20 Here.
Sandor Sunneson: 17 I think?
Smon: You all join Sandor at the south door. Amir focuses - he can sense an aura of desecration from beyond the door, quite faint.
chris107: "Hmm perhaps the Ghouls we were warned about lurk through that archway?"
Smon: Drakonok 15/20 Svenya 8/20 Amir 10/20
chris107: (Lay on hands for 10HP now Simon)
Smon: Svenya: "We could try the stairs a bit further back?"
Smon: (thx chris)
chris107: "Do we want to descend further?"
Sandor Sunneson: are we in a position to take on a load of undead?
chris107: "I should like to lay these restless dead to rest"
Sandor Sunneson: lets do it then
Smon: Svenya: "Let's rest and patch our wounds." Short Rest?
chris107: Amir will lead the way, testing the intensity o his feelings.
chris107: Short rest could be a good idea. I'd forgotten about those
Sandor Sunneson: yes, good idea lady
Smon: ok you can spend healing dice, 2 each max

Smon: 6 back
Smon: GM: You catch your breath and patch your wounds, then are ready to continue through the mysterious doorway.
Sandor Sunneson: cool, ok that's looking much better
chris107: Yes, much.
Smon: Svenya: "Hakeem and his band never got beyond the catacombs... No idea what's down here..."
chris107: I'm game.
Sandor Sunneson: do I sense ghouls ahead? lol or anything ahead ??
chris107: Amir is happy to go first.
Smon: Beyond the door and archway you come into a natural cave, carved alcoves to each side holding funeral crypts with more ancient bones.
Sandor Sunneson: prepared here folk, don't let them surprise you
Smon: The breeze blows through from somewhere ahead, bringing a smell of moisture and death.
Smon: Amir's sense of unease comes from somewhere ahead.
Smon: The cave extends west around 70', mostly only 10-15' wide, then bends north.
chris107: He raises his shield and grips his flail more tightly. Preparing to cast his spell should a potent foe appear.
Smon: It heads north-east, widening slightlyahead in a rough triangle shape.
Smon: Then your torchlight comes across three mangled, shredded corpses lying on the ground, shattered and crushed bones from the alcoves scattered around them.
Smon: Svenya: "They look... crushed... As if by a great weight!"
Smon: "A trap? Magic?"
chris107: "Traps,beware..."
Sandor Sunneson: Reminds me of the Terry's choc orange advert
Smon: Amir senses a faint wreak of wrongness from the crushed and mangled corpses. By their gray pallor, lengthened incisors and feral cast of feature, he senses these three were once ghouls - but they seem truly dead now.
chris107: The blood stains, are they patterened in a certain way?
chris107: Circled around the bodies as if crushed from above for example?
Smon: Not really - doesn't seem to match a crushing weight from above, anyway.
Smon: More like they were battered by great crushing blows.
chris107: "Perhaps a creature of great strength tore them apart?"
Smon: A narrow tunnel about 6' wide leads north-west from the NW end of the cave.
Sandor Sunneson: What does Sandor;s danger sense reveal?
Smon: Svenya: "A troll? A golem?"
Smon: /roll d6

Smon: You hear a clicking sound from behind you, then red fire-glow
Sandor Sunneson: get reeady to run??
Smon: A horde of fire beetles are approaching you from behind!
chris107: That is not good.
DESTROYERBILL: i sprint away at olimpick speed
chris107: Can we find a narrow point to fend them off?
chris107: The mouth of the narrow tunnel for example?
Smon: Drakonok starts away, then recovers.
Smon: The beetles will likely be on you before most of you can reach the narrow tunnel... roll init
chris107: (OOC a raging barbarian with a protecting Paladin behind him could kill a lot of beetles..)

Sandor Sunneson: Well done
Sandor Sunneson: Ciao Bill
Sandor Sunneson: any treasure around??
chris107: I fear whatever smashed the Ghouls will have all the treasure!
Smon: The smashed corpses appear to have been looted, but the beetles have glowing glands which can be used to shed light for several days.
Sandor Sunneson: the beetles
chris107: Nice.
chris107: We gather them up.
Sandor Sunneson: and press on carefully
Smon: GM: You cut the glands out of the beetles, they can light your way without need for torches.
