Ro-Mahn moved to the front of the party to engage with the enemy. Wahesh followed stepping to Ro-Mahn’s right side. Cando also moved forward to Ro-Mahn’s left, all the while cursing him for blocking his charge lane. Baranacleez moved up the secret passage and closer to the room. Lady Emyralda moved into the room to the left of the secret door while Stabem stepped into the door way.

Ro-Mahn pressed the element of surprise, tumbling through the dwarves to the seated dwarf in the back. He slashed out with his rapier, hitting and dealing 15 damage, while the one-handed commander equipped his shield and warhammer. Wahesh attacked the dwarf in front of him with both swords. The longsword scored a devastating blow dealing 22 damage while the short sword also hit but dealt a mere 3 damage. The dwarf was left reeling but was still standing after the assault.

The smell of stale beer and whiskey hang in the air of this room. A large wooden bar, complete with taps and a mirrored backsplash, runs along the far curved wall of this room. Tables, chairs, and barstools are scattered with use, while dirty glasses and empty bottles litter the sticky floors and flat surfaces.

Five gray-skinned dwarves occupy this room. One sits at a table covered with papers and a smoking pipe. Two of them stand nervously by the seated one while the remaining two lean against the bar and playfully taunt the two. The room is filled with a faint cloud of tobacco smoke.

Startled by the party’s sudden appearance, the dwarves begin to reach for their arms.

Roll initiative. Begin Combat Rounds 1 and 2. Starting positions are displayed on the combat map.

You have surprised the dwarves. You may take a single Move or Standard Action in the surprise round. After that you may take a normal action during your initiative. Please provide actions for both rounds.

After quietly discussing their options, the party re-positioned themselves and Cando opened the secret door and stepped through the portal.

There was a debate between the party members but the majority thought that seeking out the sally port was a better plan than walking through the damaged and ajar front doors. Ro-Mahn and Stabem were for pressing ahead immediately while the remainder of the party felt that finding a different way inside might be more prudent.

After about 30 minutes of travel, and about another 30 minutes of searching, the party was able to locate the secret entrance to the redoubt. The information provided by the townsfolk and Erna proved helpful in locating the entrance.

Within the passage, the party discovered two dead Davarn outpost guards. Lady Emyralda determined that the cause of death was bleeding due to wounds inflicted by slashing and bludgeoning weapons. Each guard was armed with a masterwork dwarven waraxe. An everburning torch lay near the bodies.

The passage ended at a secret door. The sounds of movement and talking could be heard from the other side.

After several hours and miles of walking the twisted, switchback riddled length of Taggun’s Crawl, the party spies their planned destination.

A dwarven-built wall surrounds a courtyard cut into the cavern. Grand doors depicting dour, dwarven faces and angular glyphs stand beyond that open space. The metal doors to the redoubt are ajar, twisted and bent by brute force, and a line of light spills out from the opening. Statuary of dwarves decorates the courtyard, some of them showing signs of recent vandalism. The walkway from the main gate to the front door is littered with debris from the broken statues and overturned benches.

Do you wish to procced through the courtyard and main door or do you want to seek out the sally port?

The party purchased provisions and supplies, specifically antitoxin and holy water, before heading out into the under dark seeking to rescue the abducted dwarves.
