The door to the south tunnel is ajar. Down the long hall you can see an opening. Torchlight and movement can be seen but no details yet. Something or someone is moving about in a room to the south.

Balthar says, "I say we extinguish the torch and move down the corridor quietly and see what's in that room. Agreed?"

A phantom or a statue, no doubt, mutters Milton.

Tarmo sneaks as best he can down to the opening and peers in.

Tarmo peers into the room. He sees four red robes cultists. They are working on some bundles of rushes. Weaving or tying them together in some way.

They do not appear to see or hear Tarmo. The room is lit by oil lamp and looks to be about 20 x 30 with another door to the south...closed.

Milton pads behind. He motions to the cultists and motions with his sword and fingers, indicating that when Tarmo fires his bow he will follow with a leap attack on the middle-left one.

Tarmo motions to Balthar to join he and Milton, then he fires his bow at the nearest cultist!

Balthar indicates he will follow the party into the room to engage the cultists after Tarmo unleashes an arrow.

Tarmo fires two arrows into the room at the unsuspecting cultists!

13, 9....one hit! For 3 points of damage. The cultist sags and falls to the floor, a red stain spreading on his russet robes!

Milton leaps inward nimbly...does a somersault and lands with his rapier aimed at the middle left cultist! A 3! Milton misses the cultist completely!

Balthar rushes in and stabs with his longsword. 15! A solid hit. The blade slips cleanly through the cultist 4 points! The cultist dies instantly!

Initiative...PC=1 Cultists=6

The two remaining cultists reach for their daggers. Slashing at Milton...4...MIss! Stabbing at Balthar....9....another miss!

Milton ripostes and hits for 5 damage! The cultist dies with a rapier through the heart.

Balthar swings wide with his sword, missing the evil cultist.

Tarmo rushes in with his hand axe....2....a miss.

Thorhall bellows from behind the group....charging in with his mighty axe held overhead...2!....the axe misses its mark.

Initiative....PC=6, cultist=2

Milton misses, Balthar misses, Tarmo cuts the cultist down with a mighty chop of his hand axe.

The room is now quiet.

Long dried rushes lay on the floor. The cultists were weaving them together.

Three other doors are in this room. You came from the north. A door is in the east, west, and south walls.
