Re: Wish granted...
"Actually lets wait until the Broo reach the legionaire. I want to see what happens. If the Broo start leaking past him we can shut the door."
[Legionaire is 90 feet and the broo are 120 (or so). Just another round and they should be engaged. This will solve our question on whether he was freind or foe. If he does start fighting we could provide a little missile support....but if they charge us we shouuld flee to the door. Just my thoughts.. party rules of course.]

Re: Wish granted...
[Madragar has described the situation fairly accurately.]
Atan gives the grappling hook a try and doesn't find it too difficult to get it over the huge iron ring (it didn't really fit around the edge of the door). Fortunately the ladder seems tall enough to allow the hook to be retrieved.
Ruig slaps his forehead.
"What about Yimris?"
Not waiting for anyone to follow he runs over to where the fallen ranger lays among the filthy corpses of the broo.

Re: Wish granted...
Atan mutters something in elven that is apparently a harsh self-recrimination. "Madragar bring your crossbow! Ruglan help Ruig get Yimris." Atan steps out by the secret door and will fire an arrow at the closest broo.
[+3 to hit (includes range penalty ), 2d6 dmg]
[How far are the broo and are they fighting the legionaire yet? I want to leave us enough time to get the door shut before the broo can reach us. Of course we will hold for as long as possible until Ruig and Ruglan return with the body.]

Re: Wish granted...
Ruglan will help Ruig retrieve Yimris' body. Occasionally he will glance up at the legionaire to see how he fairs against the horde of broo.

Re: Wish granted...
Draxim stays focused on his purpose. He reloads and fires his eighth bolt of the day. With a prayer to Urox for missile guidance. "Urox aid me! Strike the eye of our enemy!"

Re: Wish granted...
Meneloss strings his bow and lines up next to Atan and Draxim for the hyena-shoot.

Re: Wish granted...
[Meneloss was planning on using Atan's bow, alas the elf-mage has no bow]
Meneloss stands with his companions. He has fetched Sangraal's javelins from the mortally wounded cleric's pack. He holds one in either hand. Placed at his feet are two flasks of oil at the ready.

Re: Wish granted...
Madragar says "what the hell. I haven't hit anything this whole fucking campaign with this piece of shit crossbow. I'm bound to score sometime, right?"
Atan, Draxim and Madragar line up, take aim, and send their bolts screaming up the tunnel.
It's impossible to tell who hit what in the dim and distant torch light, but one of the broo takes a tumble. The beast falls over the lip of one stair and disappears into the shadows of the one below it.
"That was clearly my bolt," Madragar insists.
The broo continue to pour down the stairs. They come upon the legionnaire and his dwarf companion and rush right by them.
[The broo are now about seventy feet away and closing fast.]

Re: Wish granted...
Ruig and Ruglan reach the pale and blood stained corpse of Yimris, each grabs an arm and they begin dragging him across the floor.

Dirty Broo
[Rush right by them as in they didn't see the two or the broo and the legionaire waved to each other as they passed?]
[No one waved, but there is no way the broo did not see them. There are three areas of torchlight in this vast, dark tunnel: the broo, the legionnaire, and you. It is very obvious where everyone is. -GM

Range me
[What is the distance to Ruglan and Ruig?]
[Ruglan and Ruig are about half way between where they picked up Yimris and the stone door. -GM]

Re: Range me
[does it appear that the Legionaiire is directing the broo or in anyway pointing us out?]
Meneloss takes jogs forward 10 feet and hurls a javelin at the lead torch bearing broo.
[trying for 60' or less to only have 2 range increments +4 to hit]

Re: Range me
"Alright, we arn't fighting these guys now. Save your missile weapons. Lets get this door closed." Atan moves for the rope attached to the grapplinghook. Waving his hands at Ruig and Ruglan to run, "Humakt has his soul, leave him."
[I can't judge who is closer so ere on the side of safety and run for the secret door!]

Whatever...
"Good shooting Madragar." Draxim smiles knowing full well it was his own bolt that hit. He runs for the secret door.
"Let's spike it shut! Along the east wall, about 40' back, chest high, then tie off the rope to the spike eh Ruig? That door is heavy enough that they might not be able to get it open at all!"

Re: Range me
"Even a blind man can hit a shoulder-to-shoulder pack of broo once in a while," Madragar says with black humor, suspecting that a blind man might make a better archer than him.
Once the body of Ymris (and everyone else) is in the door, he seizes the ropes and begins to pull. He's under no illusions about his strength, but is sure the others will join him in a moment.
"How will we get out again if the broo know we are in here?" he asks. "Better we had sealed ourselves in while they were with that accursed legionnaire."

Re: Whatever...
"I will not leave him!" Ruig growls through teeth clenched with effort. "Let the broo sate their thirst with the blood of their own kind." Ruglan and Ruig haul Yimris' body the remaining distance to the door.
With a mighty heave, Meneloss hurls a javelin in a high arc toward the broo. The missile reaches its zenith then plunges downward into the pack of snarling creatures, striking one of them with incredible force. The beast stops dead in its tracks and a loud CLANG is heard as the javelin punctures through the broo's torso and hits the stone wall behind it.
Madragar and Draxim haul on the rope and the massive stone door swings silently, but slowly. The sounds of scrambling, howling broo echo through the hallway as they race for the portal. At the last moment a few black taloned claws grasp at the edge of the door, but vanish when the stone slab completes its journey, sealing the passage with a thunderous THOOOM.
