mrkgnao: From within my hiding place inside the southeastern column, I listen to the sounds emanating from the chamber, as well as to the receding voices down each of the six tunnels.
By my count, besides myself, there are only six unfortunate souls left in the central chamber:
65 - RWarehall - Grom Grombly - Half-Orc Shaman (raring to go at whatever emerges from the grate)
51 - kusumahendra - Henz - Elf Thief (still lingering dazedly by the now empty hornet chest)
59 - Lemmus - Cicatrix - Drow Ranger (preparing for the incoming horde by verifying the gender of fellow adventurers)
68 - matterbandit - Peloquin - Dwarven Thief (wisely hiding in the shadow of the northwest pillar)
54 - Korotan - Karanos - Half-Orc Cleric (not given to much loquency)
73 - ww_gog - shamus - Drow Brigand (remarkable for his otherworldly drow silence)
