Moving through the tunnel, you once again find yourselves in the same room where you found the dwarven and drow prisoners. Sarith is already in here waiting for you.
Elayna stays with the troglodyte prisoner, who constantly looks worriedly toward the source of the sounds of battle with a look of what appears to be longing on her face.

Hunter pantomimes tip-toeing to the troglodyte outpost in chamber #7, before pointing to the troglodyte prisoner with narrowed eyes and putting a finger to her lips.

Melpomene nods her agreement and understanding of the plan and prepares to follow.
Nov 7, 2018 1:21 am
You enter the outpost once more and find that it's the same as you left it. Four troglodyte corpses are still on the ground here.

Hunter points to the northern tunnel, reasoning that the party can skirt around the conflict.

Moving into the adjacent chamber, you find that it's completely dark. Stalactites and stalagmites dominate the room, making it difficult to traverse.

As Hunter's eyes sweep the gloomy room, she doesn't spot any danger hidden within.
Nov 7, 2018 6:15 pm
Hunter points for the tunnel on the far side, and gestures for others to start moving. She waits a bit so as to be nearer to the middle or back of the group.

Surprise: Enemies
As you reach the halfway point of the room, you are caught off guard as the stalagmites and stalactites come to life.
Two of the stalagmites in the room 'open' to reveal a large eye and fang-filled maw. The rocky ground comes to life as they raise numerous tentacle-like appendages and begin attacking those within the room. (Everyone except the dwarves, Elayna, and the prisoner)
R1 grabs hold of Mai'ngor with its tentacles (19 vs AC) and pulls him close, biting at him with its large mouth. Mai'ngor manages to pull his head away just in time to prevent it from being removed from his shoulders.
R2 grabs hold of Hunter (17 vs AC) and pulls her close, closing its jaws on her arm (24 vs AC. Damage: 22)
Four of the stalactites above open their eyes and drop on your party from the ceiling. These appear to be much smaller than their counterparts.
One of them strikes Hunter right atop her head, sending her straight to the ground as it rips her from the stalagmite's grip, blood pooling beneath her (Critical Hit vs AC. Damage 42)
Another falls just next to Mai'ngor, narrowly missing.
A third strike Melpomene in the shoulder as it passes (13 vs AC. Damage: 21)
The fourth and final one narrowly misses Sarith, who dives aside just before it would have hit him.

Hunter barely has time to react as the environment seemingly twists maddeningly around her. "Look out!" she cries at Melpomene, voice now audible as eddies of magic spiral from the pop of the last pink bubble.
The sorcerer then hits the ground hard, unconscious.

Melpomene turns just as Hunter calls out and the creature narrowly misses her. She reaches a hand to touch her friend, and warm golden light flows into her as she sings. Seeing the wounds begin to close, she turns to Mai'ngor and chants,
"Falling gnashing teeth
Will fall in turn to your blade
Strike true, save us all"
