Angrod & Snipe listen to Finn -- back into the hallway just outside the door, and go defensive....

Angrod: "Finn, good idea. However, we need to think of a way around here. I wonder if that Challice over the door.... Did we do anything with it, BTW?"

Don't have my book with me.... If I turn them, they have no where to run, so they'll just try to fight us / claw their way past us, right?

Snipe: "Back into the hallway so only two can attack at a time. Have at ye!"

Angrod: "Flail & Shield time, me thinks."

Thanks.

"Let's go find Karthedon"

Sorry, meant the Wizard who ran this place, not our food-obsessed fellow.

OOC: no problem.

We open the next door....

FYI, the Netbook of Classes has the Spellsword class, which could be a start to the 'Elf' class.

Agreed.

OOC: I love how everything with Grizzle is food! LOL! I have this image of Mario Batali in a Gandalf costume. I love it!

I'm hoping his sense of smell detects Zombies & Carrion Crawlers....

Angrod: "Finn, listen at the door? Let's lock the outside door, and then continue to the next Door to the east. "

<t>Angrod: "Finn, sounds like a good idea, but hold on to the key. Although lets look around first to make sure no company is on the way. If all clear, close the door, but keep unlocked for now in case we need to make a quick get-away..... Then we'll go to the East Door, same door-open plan. If all ...

<t>OOC: No problem Relaxo; in the other game, we'll be rueing the lack of a Rogue.

<t>OOC: Didn't see a posting about the bugbear -- Finn the only one who knows? And thanks for the map and updated stats. Snipe feals more capable and sure of himself for some reason.

I'm still confused as to where I am -- the closest door is probably best, but I didn't want to get trapped anywhere.....

Sounds like a plan.
