Rudy is heading south to the smaller tunnel.

also I was wondering as a ranger do I have any skills that I can use?

And one last thing what choices do I have now that I decided to venture south to the small tunnel? Or every 2 days you will give us new places to explore?

I'm heading to the south main tunnel. My name is also not mentioned in post # 360

Cardan is okay with you in party, little elf friend. Balbok and Pater Alf good with mage also?

Cardan thinks we must go into dungeon now before scaly things come, big tunnels to east looks good point to start

Thelis sees a group people heading into the eastern tunnel and thinks it might be better to follow them than linger in that dreadful circular chamber. But not knowing any of them, decides to keep a bit of distance behind them, with his trusty dagger ready.

Main tunnel.

Just when I think BenKii, the Human Warrior, left us behind for good, he looks back over his shoulder. It seems he hadn't noticed the Halfling checking the West Tunnel for markings after all and assumed we were following him, because now he comes back, standing with us, waiting.
I'm anxious, what Shins A'Hoy, as he introduced himself to me after a warm greeting, when I slid over to him, will find. Is it the wrong Tunnel? Will we be worse of in here than staying in the chamber? The scratching sounds from behind the metal grate resurface in my memory. No, I don't think so.
I look into the chamber. Some of the occupants are busy with the chests, others pull on the chains, all four of them. This is insanity. Nothing good can possibly come of this?
I turn back to watching Shins and smile involuntarily. I didn't realise how much I missed other Haflings. Beeing surrounded by them my whole life, it probably shouldn't be that surprising, but somehow it is. I can almost forget the Drow, who slipped into the West Tunnel too. Slipping behind Siegfried and looking into the Tunnel, almost like he is watching Siegfrieds back. Is that bad luck just a rumour? I don't know. But there were two Drows. Where is the other one? I don't see him.
Two Half-Orcs slipped into the Tunnel, too. Prepared for war by the looks of it. One looking into the depth of the Tunnel, the other preparing to do something he will enjoy greatly judging by the grin he's giving Siegfried and "the stuck food comment" he makes. I shudder, even more as I hear someone say "IT MUST BE A CHALLENGE FROM THE GODS." He is Human, a Cleric maybe? He wants everyone to stay together. Then a Dwarf makes his way through our little group. And he ... summons something, a Stone Elemental? I feel relieved when he offers to let it escort whoever may scout for traps. That might be Shins. I will try my best to watch over him and aid him too.
I look back to those pulling on the chains. Will that trigger something deadly for those still lingering in the chamber? For those lingering around the tunnel entrances? Maybe even those in the tunnels already? All of us? My worry and anxiousness grow as I turn my gaze back to Shins.

Seems to me that he's referring to a different group, those by the south tunnel, while you're at the east one.
Though... Not seeing half orcs in the south. So I'm thinking Valius should clarify.

Vanlaa - Elf Paladin arrives in the chamber near the East tunnel. He is very confused by the experience and has changed his name to - Gar Dragonlord of Vadenville.

Cervello mentioned it: pkk234 - Cornholio - Golbin Berserker (number 33) is missing from the whole setup.

Seems like no Drows in the East tunnel so far, and I'd like it to stay that way. :D

Og'rialt the Dwarven Brigand speaks up, "Dear companions, I must still have been groggy from whatever magic transferred us here, as I only just now realized that I've had my spiked chain looped around my waist all this time! With it, I can strike out quite far, so will be effective fighting from right behind the front line. That means that I would be more effective near the front after all, as we'll then have three front-line fighters in a tunnel where any enemies would only expect two!"

@Aslain, I've been assuming that you need to be on point to detect traps, but do you actually, or are you perceptive enough to do so from behind?

That is correct Og'rialt, apart of fine selection of spells I have a wand of silver darts at my disposal.

Svartalf, Battlemage
Max of Fulvus, Thief
SmartyFartBlart, Human Paladin
Kyp, Ranger
Myself, Babargh, Cleric
Thulgrun, Warrior
Two rows of three? Fair enough, I forgot about the need to detect such.
Let us also not forget, I have my Holy Guardian offering protection. It could be part of the frontline as well.

I'm unsure who else aside from us will follow the same path, but considering the thief of Fulvus is the only detector so far, it seems prudent to enter an alliance of convenience with them. If they are going to take advantage of your skills, they might offer some detection or protection (magical, worldly or spiritually sourced) of their own.

I certainly prefer to have a Drow fighting on my side than against!


Strigon is the only Drow in the Western tunnel. Perhaps we can find a way to make good use of him -and find a formation to minimize the malus to Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Halflings and maximize their bonus while standing next to Half-Orcs (we've got two) and Goblins.

Lets fallow the orc's.

We fallow orc's in the East tunnel (in reasonable distance).
