We can't wait here. If the beetles are to attack us along the way, let us bring the battle to them. We must continue foward.

*Wispering to Brikal*

"There a two, maybe three of them, just ahead on the left. The rest of the party is down the other tunnel passage....as far as know. We can take these bugs.....no problem.....just don't miss. Ready....3.......2.....1"

*Curufin fires a spell at the nearest beetle, then draws his two short swords.*

<was under the impression that we were moving in this new formation.... waiting to roll up on something. If so...>

Maybe we should quicken our pace.

*Arthos steps into postition and follows Ka and Lady Katherine*

Ka, keep on moving and give us protection and we will destory all the bugs that we incounter if you you don't distroy them first.

*looks around to make sure everyone is prepared, then moves forward down the tunnel, keeping herself and Ka between the rest of the townspeople and the dangers ahead*

*Azara moves behind Ka and Kathryn near Arthos, has her shield and shortsword ready to head into battle and proceeds forward.*

We dwarves are natural sprinters... Very dangerous over short distances!

It is a brilliant if not harrowing fight. The beetles, like crazed bees going after honey, spring to action. They are limber, they are agile, they are ferocious...but ultimately no match for the motley group before them. Despite being attacked by two sides and their strange and surprising leaping ability (you just hope they aren't rabid), you slice through them like predators slicing through the inn on a Sunday morning. Their mangled, oozing carcasses are all that remain of this once frightening encounter.

The group quickly moves forward, anxious to get more than four steps without a great pause to contemplate their next move. Nay, they simply go forth, toward the soft and fading sounds of a woman's cries. The flickering light of the torch leads the way, with Azara pressing her nose against the ground, making sure the tracks don't quickly stop. Ka follows closely, hoping she'll move faster because he's tired of not enough action. Arthos is happy for any action--it's been a long time. And Kabre follows all, certain that Donovan is getting further and further away.

Finally you approach an opening and you approach more slowly as the hairs on the backs of your neck bolt to attention. In the shadows at the far side of the room, you can see slow movements but cannot quite make out anything distinct. Azara stops suddenly when her light illuminates the red flow of blood on the cavern floor...

(OOG: I will be away from a computer so I will leave you chatting amongst yourselves-expect the next update on Sunday)

*Arthos steps fpward with a glowing stone that sheds light into the room. He looks at the blood and than slowly moves into the room checking for traps and sensing magic.*

Dallid plesae refrane from rushing in here. I want to make sure it is safe. Ka, make sure no one else enters the room until I check for traps I don't want anyone falling prey to a trap.

*Arthos makes a quick sweep of the area and than has everyone else enter the room to do what can done to save any living person in the room*
