(G19 25/07/08 KT)
After that fight we were separated, as Raz and Shifty had gone down one corridor, myself, Mashai
and Eriss another and Nobby was still struggling to cross the marbles and grease.
One of the attackers that we killed had been Dek though, crushed by my crocodiles tail,
so now both corrupt guards had been dealt with.
From what I gathered later, Raz went into some rooms down in the other direction and found
a torture chamber. But all the 'victims' were playing a ruse and attacked. Raz turned every
room he entered into a slaughterhouse though.
Meanwhile, me and Erris were faced with a warg. It knocked Mashai senseless so I summoned
a Flaming Sphere and myself and Mr Badgerington attacked it. Erris managed to weaken it as well
so a few more blows killed it although we nearly lost Mashai. But luckily Nobby turned up
in time to heal her with some cleric magic.
Eriss had been using a 'Whisper' spell on everyone, so that we could communicate between
ourselves even when we were several corridors away, so we agreed that Raz and Shifty would
come back to where myself and the others were so we could regroup.
While I waited I quietly left the warg chamber and went along a few bends in the corridor
and waited just short of another T-junction. I could hear two ruffians breathing, waiting
in ambush. As Raz got back to our group I called out to these two and told them that they
better jolly well surrender, because the man with the axe was coming and there were already
seventeen of their fellows dead!
Lo and behold that seemed to convince them, and they threw down their weapons and surrendered
on agreement that they could leave the dungeon unmolested. We upheld our end of the bargain
and I gave them a stern talking to as they left.
We continued into the dungeon and entered another room. Three rogues jumped up from behind
overturned tables but Raz chopped one down instantly and the other two ran for it.
Raz and I gave chase and reached the opening of a cave. The two that had ran had set up an
ambush in the cave, but rather than rush in Raz roared at them to surrender or get ready
to face his axe.
I also called out to them to be reasonable and they agreed to leave the dungeon and never
come back, but they would keep their weapons. Raz stepped into the cave to let them pass
and off they went. They tricked him into stepping into a pool though and some sort of nasty
creature bit him. Raz might have wanted revenge for that, but it didn't matter as they had
already gone.
