On Our Way

After waiting a few minutes for the grinding of the door to stop, I am ready to proceed. I can see the location of the old steel door that initially saved the dwarves. I am in awe of the power that must have been necessary to bend all that steel. I hope our adventures don’t lead us to encounter that creature.

Perhaps I’m paranoid, but I always expect a trap and after taking a moment, I’m fairly sure that I hear an ambush waiting for us. An apparent leader comes in and orders an attack. I am quite happy to let the party handle the combat and I come through healthy.

The next combat doesn’t go quite as smoothly. I end up well behind the party and am ambushed while they finish off a mage. Thankfully I am well hidden and manage to make a strong sneak attack on the first minotaur creature. This gives me a leg up and with help from my teammates, I survive with minor scratches.

Apparently I am a little stunned and Tenry takes the lead for a while. Naturally he immediately steps on a trapdoor and is barely able to leap out of danger.

Aside from having a trap, this room also has two concealed doors. One is discovered by the dwarf, I’m not sure if I would have seen it, but I still have to respect her sharp eye. I’m able to help open one of the doors, but the other defeated me. I am meditating on the job of opening the door with the hope that inspiration will lead me to the solution. I can patiently wait for a solution.
