[Quarryman]

"Same again!"

"Uhm, Tesni dear, where in the battle order do you want Raiju to act?"

[Etzel]

Maurice continued to try and hit the gate from the front row.

[Peppermint_M]

At Namyrra's words Tesni paused mid-rush. "A heh, how about before you? Enough lightning at the gate should drop it quick!"

"Do you think the door would open if we only destroyed the lock?" Eric asked his companions.

[Quarryman]

"Do you think the door would open if we only destroyed the lock?" Eric asked his companions.

"That's possible.. try focusing on the lock with your axes."

[Khorne]

"Okay then, I'll try to destory the lock" Eric said and slashed away at the lock with his axe.

Eric attacks the lock from the front row, using his axe.

RESULTS OF ROUND TWO

Raiju vs. Sewer Gate - Hit

Namyrra vs. Sewer Gate - Spell Aim

Eric vs. Sewer Gate - Hit

Tesni vs. Sewer Gate - Defended Damage

Maurice vs. Sewer Gate - Special Damage

The party continues hacking away at the gate. So far it looks like they have not woken any thieves while breaking through this gate. Raiju whacks at the gate, sending bolts of lightening through the bars, followed up by Namyrra's well aimed lightning spell. Eric decides to attack the lock, thinking that it might be the thing holding the gate shut. He manages a nice solid hit but the lock still holds tightly. Tesni swings her mighty sword at the hinges but only manages to bump her hand on the post. Maurice manages to find the post, but the shockwave from striking the solid steel sends a shiver through his mace and rattles his bones.

Before the heroes lies a path headed North and a path headed East.

Which way will you go?

[Peppermint_M]

"Onwards! To the North!"

[Darkdragon]

The party continues North. The hallway twists and turn but they can tell they area still going farther and farther North. They come to another junction. The paths head North and East, on the wall they see a symbol.

Which way will you go now?

[Etzel]

The party continues North. The hallway twists and turn but they can tell they area still going farther and farther North. They come to another junction. The paths head North and East, on the wall they see a symbol.

Which way will you go now?

"That symbol keeps popping up, I hope it means we are on the right way."

[Peppermint_M]

"Keep moving Northward!"

[Darkdragon]

The party heads North. The path is straight but ends soon at a wall, though there are two paths veering off. The heroes can choose to turn West or East or go back (South).

[Quarryman]

"Hmm, so what now, should we just try East perhaps?"

[Peppermint_M]

"Alright, onwards! To the east!"

[Etzel]

"East sounds like a good idea."

[Darkdragon]

They head East and soon come to another dead end. There is an opening to the North which leads to another junction heading West and South.

Will you go West, South, or back?

[Etzel]

"I can peak around the corner and try to see what's down the west passage."

[Quarryman]

"I can peak around the corner and try to see what's down the west passage."

"That sounds like a good idea, please do it."

[Darkdragon]

Maurice leaves the party and heads a little way down the passage to the West. Without any of the noisy party members, he hears only the crackle of the torch fire and his own quiet cleric footsteps. A mouse skitters by him and runs into the darkness beyond. The hallway seems to continue on and on in a straight line headed West. After a few minutes of walking with no change, he decides to head back and report his findings to the others.

[Peppermint_M]

"Well, west sounds ok then."

[Etzel]

"Yes, that way seems safe."

[Darkdragon]

The intrepid heroes head West down the long dark hallway. After a half hour of walking, they come to a wall. There are no other exits from the hall and they are forced to go back to the previous junction. They are now faced with a choice of South down the new path or South to the previous junction (the wall with symbol).

[Peppermint_M]

"Well, could you check the new path Maurice?"

[Quarryman]

"And Tesni, maybe you should check the timekeeper? With all the noise we've been making lately we might not have heard it do the bingbongdingdong thing."

[Etzel]

"Yes, I'll check out the south path for us.
