Last we left off, our adventurers were all beginning to engage a large
group of gnolls and hyenas along with the Goblin Elite regiment being given the
task to slay any stragglers that ran out of the room.
One of the hyenas was already in the process of sniffing out Viktor's
location but the sudden interruption of Borgen bursting in to the room as well
as Nikael throwing several kunai at a Gnoll gave Viktor the perfect opportunity
to fully utilize his sorcerous heritage. Flash after flash of scorching rays
and chromatic orbs forged into deadly lightning attacks leapt forth from Viktor
and when the wrath of his magical onslaught ended almost none were spared.
Not to be outdone by their dragon blooded companion, the rest of our
adventurers managed to land several blows against the gnolls as well as two
bugbears that were in the room. Tarkan displayed his Goliath strength when he
picked up a massive chair and dropped its frame onto an unsuspecting gnoll.
This unorthodox yet, brilliant maneuver allowed the rest of the group to finish
off their foes with little resistance.
It was then that the group heard a bone-chilling howl coming from the
northern room. Wasting no time, they investigated immediately only to discover
the gnoll pack lord Eyeth awaiting them in a tower like room with a large circular
chasm in the centre. Before anyone could react, Eyeth flung Viktor into
the chasm, prompting everyone to immediately attempt to neutralise the hostile
entity.
Aelara gracefully dived in after Viktor in order to aid him while Tarkan's
ingenuity shone through once more. As Nikael distracted the pack lord with
several kunai Tarkan seized the opportunity to wrap a rope around Eyeth's neck before knocking it into the very same chasm it had previously thrown
Viktor.
Nikael, noting that Aelara and Viktor seemed to have everything under
control, decided to rummage through the locked chest sitting nearby. The party
acquired some new splint mail for Tarkan and a few other valuables before they
all attempted to climb down the illusory vines that covered the walls of the
gorge. Not realizing that the vines were illusions, the group slipped further
down into the darkness of the Sunless Citadel...
