Heroes: Ryder the Rogue, Seraphina the Witch, Maxine the Fighter, Cyrus the Sorcerer, Pavo the Mystic of Nog, and Two Rivers the Totemic Warrior
The party camps out for the night while Andar gets some supplies for them in exchange for some money and debts. After he resupplies the party, he then advises Seraphina that he will check in once in awhile to see how it is going. In the morning, the party walks to the cavern network and finds four caves. Two Rivers tracks foot steps into the first three and nothing into the last. Ryder says we may as well start with the first. He pulls out his sword for light and searched for traps. When they come to a junction, Two Rivers will track for prints to lead the party. At one junction, they are attacked from behind by four gnolls. THe party quickly takes them down, finding a little gold on the gnolls. The track further into the maze of tunnels and again are assaulted from behind, but this time by ghouls. Two Rivers is paralyzed by them after taking one out. Ryder shrugs off their paralyzing touch and takes out the rest with Maxine and Pavo. Two Rivers leads them to a long hallway. On the way down the hallways, another group of gnolls attacks the party from the rear. These are also taken out with much problem, but Uyrk starts screaming in fear. Once the battle is over, Ryder tries to calm Uyrk down. It takes some coaxing and in the end Uyrk hugs Ryder and won't let go. Ryder finds and disarms a pit trap and leads the party down the hallway to the door at the end. This ends up being a false door. Two Rivers suggests there may be a secret dorr near the pit trap. Ryder searches, fnds one, and feels stupid for not thinking of that. He looks down the wooden planks nailed into the stone wall that lead down into darkness. He then leads the way down as Seraphina tells him to move so she can see down. Andar is actually talking to her asking how everything is going. He says he can see what lies ahead if Ryder will move out of the way. He refuses as Seraphina does not tell him why he needs to move. He gets to the bottom and yells up that it is all clear down there. Seraphina starts heading down. Uyrk then pushes his way forward and goes down the ladder in front of everyone. Just as Seraphina is almost to the bottom, Ryder is attacked by ten gnolls. It appears it wasn't all clear. Ryder takes out one of them and dodges the attacks of the few in reach. Seraphina reaches the bottom, but sees Uryk frozen in fear on the ladder. She tries to pull him down so others can get down to assist Ryder. Two Rivers yells from above to move, which scares the shit out of the little prootwaddle, literally. He shits and pees himself just as Seraphina's pulling manages to pull down his trousers instead. She is hit with a rain of shit and Urine, yelling out Ryder's name with promises of not nice things hinted at in her tone. Seraphina then puts some of the gnolls to sleep as Ryder continues to defend. Somehow, as if by a miracle, Ryder and Seraphina manage to kill all of the gnolls. Two Rivers comes from behind and helps kill the sleeping gnolls with Pavo and Seraphina. Exhausted and bleeding from several wounds, Ryder gets bandaged and healed by Seraphina while suffering her glare and not so gentle bandaging, wincing several times. After the bandaging, she pats his bandaged arm and says, you will live, suck it up. The party then walks down the hallway after not finding any loot in the guard room. THey find a sloped pit filled with ghouls. The party hesitates while they figure out what to do...
