(I think it's still alive - Ulas didn't attack it, at least.)

[skofflox]

After the conduit to Charlathan subsides I sigh deeply as the power leaves me sated with hope and courage. Smiling at Tudd as I say "Lets go into the passage there." as I point to the N corridor. "Some goblins muk'n about so grab steel!" indicating his sling with a wink as I clap him on the back and turn to stride across the dias.

Gruffly to the others "There were foes to the N. Anyone care to secure our position before look'n about and congratulat'ns?"

(ooc;nicely done everyone!)

[Benoist]

DM: Nicely done indeed. You guys got lucky on the init too, and I had some pretty bad rolls for the baddies! But such is life! I will claim new souls for Arioch later on!

"Could one of you bring some light over here toward the south? I'd like to look at this surface at the wall."

Which area do you want to inspect?

Also, don't forget that my original description of the room mentions a lot of stuff, but very few with any extensive detail. If you'd like to have a closer look at anything in particular, let me know.

(I think it's still alive - Ulas didn't attack it, at least.)

The "thing" is still alive. I have read people talking about killing "it," but no one's actually done so at this point.

"We should wait for the rest of our group to come down the shaft first," Rissthil says in response, "staying here until they arrive is securing our position."

[Cole]

"You gentlemen seemed to be doing a fine job of securing the our position already."

Ulas takes a look northward.

"But if you want me to cover your line from range, I can do that."

[Cole]

Which area do you want to inspect?

I was referring to the fluid "mirror."

[Benoist]

Ulas takes a look northward.

There is a door right in the middle of the wall oriented SW/NE in front of you (in the room with the polearms). It is made of very old, dark oak-like wood, with large reinforcements made of some sort of green metal.

[Benoist]

I was referring to the fluid "mirror."

Oh alright (I didn't get that you got back to the large circular room already).

[skofflox]

"We should wait for the rest of our group to come down the shaft first," Rissthil says in response, "staying here until they arrive is securing our position."

Nodding to Rissthil "Well lets get it right then." as I indicate the spread out positions of our comrades. Pointing towards the red lantern "Maybe get some missle cover into that hall and send a scout or two to reconoit'r while we form up proper and await the others." as I roll the bodies off the landing area "Works not done here."

wiping my hands on the body before kicking it down the stairs...I look to Ulas before continuing

"Some goblins duk'd into a room there" indicating the N.hall."I don't rek'n this area secure." as my eyes dart about.
"I am willing to take a peak with your bow at my back but others here may be better equiped for scout'n.And I think it best t' have all us folk on this platform cept those scount'n to insure the others don't get held up like the last bunch"as I point to the remaining body at our feet.

"We should wait for the rest of our group to come down the shaft first," Rissthil says in response, "staying here until they arrive is securing our position."

While attempting to scrape the goo off his boots, Nimten says, "I'm with you. We need to wait here.

[Imperator]

Gareth twists his blade in the oaf's wound. He then stabs him it in the neck, but it seems the creature just died a split second before blood sprays everywhere. The oaf collapses. Gareth comes back to his feet, and unstuck his blade from the creature's back.

[OOC: Did I kill it just by myself? ROCK!]

"Gareth!" Ylarum calls out.  "Close back up with us, fellow!"

Ylarum then steps back to the basket and gives the rope a couple of yanks, then quickly back to the position he's at on the map there.

Before declaring my intent I need some clarification: is the creature that Nimten was trying to communicate with the same that is cowering in the room I am at? I've re-read the posts but I'm a bit confused.

(Sorry on the delay, I live in GMT+1, guys).

[Sigmund]

Ben., Not sure how long it takes to do but here is my intent...

After wiping my blade on the fallen...I stride to meet him,a smile playing upon my lips amongst the carnage. "I see you made it down...interesting approach." As I look him over for wounds continuing "Close your eyes and Kneel for a moment brother,let the will of Charlathan be a balm to you, afore you enter the fray." Leaning my shield against my leg I place one hand on his shoulder, grasping my zemi with the other.Closing my eyes and letting my head hang I beseech Charlathan with murmered prayer to heal...http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2786726/

(7-up bro!)

Tudd solemnly tries to hold still and think of Charlathan, then as Runch finishes up squirms a little as he chuckles, "That always tickles brudder, thanks Chalathan for the tinglies" Then he remembers the fight and turns to glare sternly around.

[Imperator]

Can we have an updated map, Ben? I'm a bit confused.

[Sigmund]

Tudd stows his sling and frees his morningstar as he moves in front of Runch facing north, watching that way intently.
