Up the stairs

by Dahlia Di Mare

* Our party started up the stairs until we came across a 15m gap. There was a side tunnel.
 
* Alf, at Dahlia's enquiry, went into the tunnel to explore. There were some items (weapons and armour), a yellow crystal and a big mushroom. He also found a rope that he was able to drag out and climb to the other side with. He threw the end with bones tied to it, over to Struth so he could then tie this up so everybody could cross.
 
* Mal decided to go into the tunnel after some of the items Alf mentioned were there. He provided Dahlia with a scimitar and took a shield & armour for himself.
 
* Dahlia crossed first followed by Mal. Stuth then the rest followed shortly.
 
* Continuing up the stairs, the group found themselves the targets of some unseen archers. Struth got hit then used the darkness to hide. Mal ran ahead to escape. Tyrian got hit as well.
 
* Upon examination of the arrow, Tyrian was able to deduce that the archers were orcs. Dahlia, who knew how to speak Orc, bluffed for them to stop shooting at the party. She was able to convince them that the party were fellow orcs. They shouted back that they were sorry and that dinner would be ready soon.
 
* Up ahead, Mal ran into an orc and a battle took place. With the aide of Struth, they were able to defeat the Orc.
 
* Tyrian send Tyrone back to get some shields while he took some of the new crystal and rubbed it into his wound. This caused him pain and the wound to be cauterised. The wound caused veins to come out in the shape of a tree.
 
* Mal looted the orc and gave the armour to Tyrian while Struth took the orc's money. Mal kept the 2 healing potions he found.
 
* Tyrone was able to find some shields and was coming back out to return to the group. He missed the rope and fell into the abyss. Luckily even though it was a big drop that he only took minimal damage.
