Barratore retrieves his sword and puts away his bow. "Could the queen thing be part of the fungus about us? I say we destroy the fungus of this area to encourage it to come out where we can put an end to it."
Destroying fungus and mind controlling plants is no problem for the fighter
"V? Tishe? Emrys? One of you have to have some good magical fire and plant killing spells right?"
Barratore wants to push the advantage and not pull back

The still blind Emrys responds, "Yes, kill off this crop. She can teleport though the fungus, like a dryad through trees of the root. She has retreated ... my hope was that she would be lost in the murk. Alas, her mind's eye I could not blind."
He waits until the dwarves are disarmed and subdued before he releases his curse of blindness.

" Fungal queen?" Sounds like a bad named band of minstrels or something. " Edson moves with the others.. there was more to this whole situation.
DM Ryan - "You broke into a mine."| Tactical Maps and Artwork Tuesday November 20th, 2018 2:31:56 PM Velarin wishes to place the dwarves with the others and askes about continuing or resting. He lists the pros and cons of resting. Tishe’ thinks V summed it up and votes for keeping going, at least for a bit.
Barratore retrieves his sword saying that the fungus queen could be part of the dungeon and votes to destroy the fungus in the area. Brom agrees with pushing onward as does Sir Royston. He states that he does not want the fungal queen to heal her wounds.
Emrys, still blind, agrees with killing off the crop. He lets them know that she can teleport though the fungus like a dryad thought tree roots. Once the dwarves are subdued he cures his blindness.
Edson adds that the funbgal queen sounds like a bad name for a band of minstrels.
First things first the group packages up the dwarves and heads back to the enclosure. As they move back they hear a shout. “Run I hear them.” and some scampering. Coming back they find the enclosure and dwarves there but also two dropped torches near the wall.
Also a quick scout of the room to the north of the fungus room, without going in, reveals a large chamber with some fungus but also rows of barrels and equipment for making wine. From the entrance you cannot see the entire room but you can make out what looks like at least one more of the spore pods the Fungal Queen had been summoning near the NW corner.
You are free to go wherever you want, if you look at old maps you can see everything you have explored.

Tishe’ thinks a bit then shakes her head. “If the Fungus Queen can Dim Dior between plants, there’s no telling where she is. Could even be in a cave we can’t get to but mushrooms grow. I think we’ll just have to be on our toes. If we meet her again, I have a spell for stopping her from ‘porting again...”
The Resilient Spheres end after a minute and a half, and Tishe’ doesn’t want spores everywhere. So after the look-see, she casts a cantrip, Acid Splash, and throws it at a spore 20 feet away....

"Lovely. If we leave the Dwarven prisoners here, they will have rejoined their companions in relatively short order, and likely been healed up and re-armed. This entire situation is becoming more and more problematic. I think we have little choice but to press on, and try and move along as quickly as we can."
"Unless someone has a better plan, I will cast my mansion. Instead of using it to heal up in peace and quiet, we will use it as a jail, putting all the Dwarves we have collected so far inside it, and not giving them the permission to leave."
"Us Spellcasters will have to mostly stand back and watch the fighters do their thing until we get to a major target, or one of them gets in trouble. Either way, the name of the game for us casters is spell conservation. Dwarves that aren't killed will need to be good and unconscious and left where they lay, or else we need to bring them back here and put them in the mansion. Fighters, now may be the time to skip the non-lethal force and end things quickly. They wouldn't hesitate to do the same to us. Unless someone has a thought on a plan of action that would work better, let's put the Dwarves in the mansion, and Continue on where we left off, following the fleeing Dwarf and slaves to the North."

Brom didn't have anything to say. He agreed with everyone's use of there expertise. They knew their own spells/skills and that was fine for Brom. He was glad the casters we're finally getting out of his way and letting him let loose.

Tishe’ thinks for a bit and comments that the Fungus Queen could be anywhere, as far as she knows, but she thinks she has a way to stop the teleporting. She then tosses some acid at the spores which takes some time but eventually wears the spores away.
Velarin comes up with a new plan, putting the dwarves inside the mansion. He lets the front line know that the casters may have to hang back some to conserve magic and it might be time to use lethal force.
Barratore agrees with the idea and manages to find plenty of rope to start tying up the dwarves. {ooc: Not going to play a resource game there is plenty of rope in the room with all the crates.} Sir Royston follows Barratore around as he works and after about half an hour all the prisoners are secure in the mansion. The orcs are tucked back where they were left and have not moved.
Brom is happy to take the lead and let everyone work out their own stuff. The questions is the lead to where?
You have options on where to head next but nothing, in this time, has moved to attack you from any of the paths that you have.
{ooc: How long is the Fungus Queen blind for? Asking for a friend.}
{ooc: Map now shows all you know about this area. The half room is the one you looked in from the south.}

(Yes, which is pretty much in line with where Barratore wanted to go.)
"Alrighty then. Dwarves are safely tied and stowed in the mansion, and the orcs are still hanging about. If they gather dropped weapons at this point, so be it. They should be able to defend themselves. Let's go with Barratore's plan and go back and see if we can clean out the fungus area (M2) and everything connected to it. Once that's done, we can head into the other areas that have already split off."

DM Ryan - "You broke into a mine."| Tactical Maps and Artwork Thursday November 22nd, 2018 12:38:05 PM
Moving to the north you find another room full of fungus. {M2 on map slide 2} Inside and to the west you see another spore pod and at this point recognize that these act as places she can teleport too. There is however no sign of the fungus queen so it is possible she had more nodes, maybe to get around the tunnels quickly. {ooc: This is probably just me but I love giving smart NPCs mundane uses for their powers.}
Further to the north in the room there appears to be a small lake, the water is fresh so it is probably spring fed from below. Beside it is a great deal of equipment used to make fungus ale and wine, clearly fresh water is necessary for both growing the fungus and making the wine.
There are two paths leading from this area to the west. The southern one leads back to M4 and the northern leads back towards M5, where the dwarves were formerly stored.
With some examination you see two gaps in the ceiling, where the cavern is worn mostly flat, the spots are the rough size of a roper.
{ooc: Moving you to the last room on this side.}
Backtracking to the fungus room you scout the final tunnel in the fungus area. Here you see a rather unusual site. The room has many stalactite and stalagmites scattered thought and on three stalagmites there are bound orc slaves. The slaves are bound, gagged and unconscious.
A voice comes from the dark as one of the stalactites stirs.
Undercommon Highlight to display spoiler: { “Come further and these slaves will die, you see yourselves as heroes you don’t want that. Turn back, to the dwarves and leave us to play with the green skin brutes. We can breed more, when the dwarves are gone, to serve and feed us. “}

V waits for the fighters plugging up the hallway to move into the room so he can have a look at what's going on.
"Let's try and Keep an eye behind us as well. If she's not in here, the Fungus Queen is likely lurking about. We may have a room worthy of a couple spells."

So there is another tribe involved that are the true masters under this mountain.”she turns and looks at the other Defenders of the Vale. “Leaving is out of the question (she says assuming the others feel the same) so how do we either rush quickly enough, sneak unseen enough, or get behind them to foul thier plans?”
Tishe continues talking and making plans. She thinks Edson and Emrys are sneaky enough, and V, herself, (and Royston?) can ‘port behind the Undercommon Ones if they know a location. “We need to have a destination, and I don’t have the magical means to do so. Do you?”

Velarin stays where he is and watches the rear, grimacing at the ropers comment about killing slaves.
Tishe backs off into a corner to conserve spells but watches in case she is needed.
As the fight continues Emrys calls a question back to the ropers. "We fight and kill those who do harm to the Vale. We defend those who can't defend themselves! Why do you kill?" he does get a response in undercommon from the beset ropers. Highlight to display spoiler: { “We kill for food and for pleasure. Exquisite ways to bring pain to your alien bodies. We will not be the last.” }
Barratore strikes the blue roper two more times, and it drops from the ceiling and shatters very much dead. He pivots and his last two strikes land on the black fungal roper. {ooc: Sorry about the HP tracking, I had it on my cheat sheet}
Sir Royston, realizing what he has done with the wall of fire is heart-broken but presses on knowing the ropers must be stopped. He is further dismayed the Edson has rushed so close to the fire. {ooc: Green dots as slaves was set in previous battle. Sorry for the confusion but war is messy I guess.} He dismisses his spell and launches several beams of flame at the middle roper.
Brom continues to attack the red roper and as it falls he pivots to smack the black roper with his last swing.
With its last gasp the final roper sends tentecals at the bash brothers. {Brom Hit Touch: 13/27 | Damge: -/ 6 Str Damage DC25 Fort Negates} {Barratore Hit Touch: 28/22 | Damage: 2/3 Str Damage DC25 Fort Negates}
The final roper is holding on by a thread and the next hit, lets say from Barratore, kills it. {ooc: Hope that is ok not making you do a round of combat for three hit points.} The creature falls leaving you with two alive but unconscious slaves and an empty room.

Tishe’ straightens. “I think we will have to carry the orcs, since they are unconscious from the Roper’ Magic.”
The Spellweaver glances at Royston who busies himself in helping clear the room. “What would Trellus do?”, she mumbles, but the echoes have no reply. She casts Detect magic and scans the room to identify all sources of magical treasure.
“They were speaking UnderCommon?”, she verifies with Velarin and Emrys. “And there are three here. Perhaps there is a secret passage to another part of the mines? Sieur Edson?”

As the last roper falls Velarin quickly moves into the room issuing instructions and freeing the slaves. His actions are enough to bring them back to consciousness, because none of us want to deal with that kind of minutia. The living slaves are a male and a female and are clearly afraid to start, as Velarin starts to give instruction, they see the dead bodies of the others. The male drops his head, all the natural defiance of an orc gone and speaks quietly. “We were once proud, no serve and die.” Looking around he spots a dragon and has a moment of clear fear thinking he will shortly be burned. He calms quickly realizing there is nothing he can do.
They do follow the directions once they do not have to move directly pass a very scary dragon.
Barratore shakes off the poison of the ropers and moves to assist Velarin. He is joined by Sir Royston in dragon form.
Tishe’ suggests carrying the orcs but they wake up quickly and there is no need. She casts detect magic but finds nothing of interest in the room. She asks Edson to search for secret doors and moves to heal Brom with her CLW wand.
A little singed Edson is dismayed to see the enemies dead but is glad they were killed quickly. He heeds Tishe’s request and it I quick to determine that this is the end of this branch of the caves.

To either Brom or Barratore, Emrys says, "Why did you kill them so quickly, I had a snappy retort that would have really stung!" With a loud sigh, he sulkily says, "I rarely get to speak Undercommon!"
"Oh well!" Emrys then helps out with the slaves. Since Tishe healed up Brom, he offers the same to the slaves in their native tongue.

Emrys offers to heal the slaves but that look at him untrusting. Finally the woman gives a shake of her head and mumbles that they are ok.
Brom thanks Tishe’ for the healing and suggests that Sir Royston being a dragon may not be the most effective thing in the current situation.
Velarin suggests they go back to the room where the entrance to the mansion and scout from there. The others agree and Brom, having very sharp eyes notices that there was indeed movement in this room, something heavy pulled though scraping the ground. {This is in M5} .
Edson offers to sneak ahead and gets into the vestibule to the forge room to look about. He finds that there has been some change. Three large wooden barrels are in the room and an ancient looking dwarf sits on a low stool behind the farthest barrel. He has something in his hand that he is holding over the top of the open barrel. It is easy for a rogue of Edsons talent to see that these barrels are some sort of trap, most likely incendiary but possibly something else.
The dwarf is humming a quiet little tune seemingly happy to stand with the barrels.
Edson further notices that his back is to the passage on the western wall and that this is where the slaves are kept when not working.

"Interesting. One would think that he is going to use whatever he's holding to blow the barrels, which is likely not the case if he is expecting to be seen. How about we take this one a little more carefully? Since Edson is gifted at sneaky, perhaps he might wish to see just how sneaky he can be? I will cast an invisibility on you to aid your sneakiness, and then you go in, nice and quiet like, and get a good look around the room, paying attention to any traps and such that we won't see, but you will.

Sir Royston transforms back into his humanoid form.
He rubs his chin in thought. "Velarin, why not cast invisibility on yourself? Sneak into the room, catch him by surprise, and cast mage hand on whatever he is holding? That would keep it from falling into the barrel."

"Daemon could deliver a touch spell ... with added potency. I could even turn him invisible. What's more quiet than a snake? Hmmm, what touch spell would be best?" He considers a few from his vast repertoire of dark magics.

Tishe’ follows the others and waits for a report back. Edson returns and lets the party know what he saw and suggest that he can sneak back and take him out humanely.
As always Velarin offers a good evaluation on the situation and options. He prepares to cast two spells on Edson if that is the plan.
Tishe’ offers another idea, blowing up the barrels from the corner and eliminating the trap.
Brom suggests talking to the old dwarf. He listens carefully and is pretty sure he can recognize the toon, a favorite of bards late at night. In the gadda da vida, long but always a pleaser once people have had enough drink.
Sir Royston, returns to his more compact appearance and suggest that Velarin could make himself invisible and mage and whatever he is holding away from the barrel.
Emrys suggests that Daemon could deliver the touch spell, with added potency, because few things are as quiet as a snake.
The dwarf continues to hum, he does not look over concerned, possibly at his age the fear of death is not so great. He has not moved from the stool he is perched on and, with the benefit of time, Edson realizes that only one of his legs was swinging while the other was perfectly still. Fake? Paralyzed? Either way not effective in about any other roll.

Ooc for Edson: true sight
"Mage hand is not something I can cast Royston. It is one of a grouping of spells that I can't use due to my focus on blowing things up."
"While Brom's suggestion has merit, it is likely to fail based on previous actions by the Dwarves, and the fact that the one sitting there is likely expendable, and therefore a risk we need not take. I would say we could fireproof someone, but who's to say that fire is what would be dealt with. The trap could have many results. possibly something to cause everything above the room to collapse. Being Dwarves, they have plenty of time to dig out, and probably plenty of slaves to help them. So, even blowing up the barrels remotely has risk."
"That is part of the reason sending Edson in first is the most logical course of action. Being invisible, he could slowly and quietly have a good look around the room, and attempt to determine the exact nature of the trap, and how best to bypass it. He wouldn't even need to necessarily engage the Dwarf if he could disable the trap in another way."

Smarter people than Barratore are analyzing the situation, though the fighter does mumble something about being overly cautious. In the end, he backs Edson scouting and NOT ENGAGING to come back with what is really going on.

Discussion and planning by some and watchful vigilance allows the party to come up with a common plan. Once he is bolstered by True Sight and Invisibility Edson moved into the room. To call him as quiet as a mouse would be a wild understatement. He moves with no more noise than a wave of heat off a fire makes. Silent and undetectable he crosses the room.
Stopping at the first barrel he looks in and sees something not completely unexpected. Small jagged metal bits suspended in a thick viscus liquid that smells of explosives. In the center is a smaller barrel that connects to a fuse that runs back to the barrel the dwarf stands near. A second fuse goes past this barrel, not in parallel, but a complete second fuse, head to the eastern barrel.
Still virtually undetectable Edson moves to the dwarf and can see that the inside of this barrel also houses a smaller barrel surrounded by a flammable accelerant. Missing are the metal bits but this looks to be thicker and probably very sticky.
Taking all that in in a moment he looks to the ancient dwarf. The dwarf indeed has a fake leg and the hand not holding this object appears to be carved of stone and shaped to fit a hammer. His body is burned, as though having been though fires and explosions more than once. At a glance you would say that this dwarf is very near the end of his life, regardless of what happens. He has stopped humming for the moment and talks very quietly.
Edson Highlight to display spoiler: { “One last bomb and the life is done. Brought down mountains before, some invaders should have a bad day when I see em.” }
Finally in the hand of the dwarf is a very fragile glass tube, you can see it would take little to break it. Inside the tube is a glowing ember, ready to drop in the barrel.
Being an experienced rogue Edson can see this is a simple but elegant trap and the addition of a human switch adds complication.

"No expert, but it sounds like a combination of flying metal, explosive heat and I would not be surprised if some of that liquid is viscous and will be like flaming tar."
Beyond Edson pulling something like that off, Barratore mentions maybe Resilient Spheres around the barrels?

She shakes her head at Barratorre’s suggestion. “ I can’t cast Resilient Sphere without a living creature inside the sphere. Not something I would recommend. “
“I could cast Resilient Sphere on the dwarf, and he could only blow himself up... if it worked.”
“I think snatching the ember would be best, if Seiur Edson can do it. Or set off the trap before we are in the room with our own fireball.”
If Edson agrees, Tishe l’ will cast Resist Fire on the rogue “just in case, sweetie.”

Edson reports what he saw and expresses that he would like to save both the dwarf and the party.
Barratore suggests essentially picking the pocket of the dwarf by taking the ‘detonator’ right out of his hand. Tishe’ also likes this idea and casts resist energy fire on Edson.
Most of the rest of the party simply waits for this to play out.
The dwarf still sits on his stool holding the dead man switch, unaware that he has been observed to this point.
From down the hall behind the dwarf a quiet but guttural noise of pain is heard briefly, most likely form a slave further down that hallway.

Edson takes the two extra spells, thanking both Emrys and Tishe for doing so.
" Ill snatch it. If it goes wrong... you guys sing my songs. Until then... I'll catch youn on the flip side. "
Edson heads back in.. and positions himself beside the dwarf. He takes a moment to clear his thoughts before snatching at the ember. Success or failure, he runs back to the group hoping to stay in front of a blast or an angry dwarf.

Quiet as the breeze Edson moves back to the dwarf and plucks the small glass tube out of his hand. So subtle are his actions that it is several seconds before the dwarf even notices that it is gone. His eyebrows go up as he look around the empty room and at this now empty hand. He mumbles to himself as he starts to dig into a pocket on his leather vest.
“Blast it. There here someplace, got to set this thing off quick. Wish I knew the trick they did to take my trigger.”
He hops off the stool and starts fumbling things out of his pocket.

Edson moves to get the ember as far from the old dwarf as possible. There lies the possibility he has naother way to light it, but enough time should be bought for the big 'ins to do what they need to do. Edson makes a striaght line back to the others, full move.
DM Ryan - "You broke into a mine."| Tactical Maps and Artwork Friday December 7th, 2018 1:59:15 PM
Having grabbed the switch Edson waits for the big ‘ins to do their work.
Many of the Keepers move forward on the ground and in the air but none as fast as Sir Royston.
We have to separate those barrels, or it will bring the entire cavern down on our heads!” he shout, already in action.
His paladin nature comes to the fore front and his instinct to protect the Keeprs of the Vale lends speed to his feet and strength to his limbs. With supernatural quickness he grabs the middle barrel just as the dwarf finds something in his pocket. A smile forms on the paladins face as he knows the rest of the group will be safe.
Sir Royston’s feet fly as he moves to the east separating the barrels from the dwarf as far as he can. Each step he feels he may be saving lives. With a grunt of effort, he makes the far wall, but the barrel was not made for rough or fast travel and it vibrates in his arms and quickly heats up. The speed manages to save his companions but in the doing he has triggered the bomb. He looks back, seeing Tishe’ in the air and nods grimly as the barrel in his arm explodes in a shower of flame and smoke catching the second barrel. Another explosion racks the cavern, from the second barrel and this time there is fire and flying metal both of which do their terrible work on the paladin.
A moment of flame and fire.
The smoke clears.
Those Keepers in the room can see the prone body of their companion laying, burned but almost peaceful laying near the SE exit from the room. He has saved lives but he is not moving. You are veterans of many conflicts and know there is little hope he has not standing before Gargul, head high, having fulfilled what may have been his destiny.
The dwarf stands on he far end for a moment before the hole in his forehead leaks blood and he topples over, killed by shrapnel, but few will care. There is also the cray of an orc from the west that is quickly stifled by a rough dwarf voice.

Tishe’ stares in horror, her movements feeling like she is pushing against Solid Fog, and there is nothing she can do as Royston selflessly sacrifices himself for the greater good. He saved not only herself and Edson who were so exposed, but most likely the rest of the Keepers and possibly the dwarves and orcs and other denizens of the mines as well! “Seiur Royston indeed”, she says quietly in homage.
Yet there is no time to properly mourn, for if orcish and dwarvish voices can be heard from the west, they are close indeed. No time to plan or confer, Tishe’s mercurial attention flies into a rare decision of instant action, only hoping the rest of the Keepers will back her up.
She flies towards the western exit and casts Invisibility on herself before crying out with a shriek. “Oh! By the Powers! Quick, gather all our dead and let’s get out of here before the dwarves set upon us in our wounded state! “ ........
Bluff 15 to make the dwarves believe the Keepers are more wounded by the blast than actually are.

Barratore moves with Brom, drawing his sword as well, though he is a bit confused at why Tishe seemed so hysterical. Perhaps the close confines of being underground were getting to the poor girl

Brom sees the heroic act by the dragon and his glorious death and is overtaken. Drawing his sword he starts to sing a battle hymn before charging in the direction of the dwarves.

As the others move Tishe turns invisible and flies towards the western exit.
Barratore reaches out to grab Royston but has seen this look before in others. To late he clenches his jaw and watches what unfolds.
As the group moves towards the door something unexpected happens. Two dwarves, armored but unarmed come running as fast as they can out of the passageway. Both looks like men who have lost control of the situation.
Quickly following these men are two imitated and beaten but strong orcs, each wielding an earthbreaker like those you have seen the dwarves carrying. There long legs are closing fast on the dwarves as one yells in orcish.
{ooc: Saving you on relaying the messge} “Slavers! We will run you to the ground! Your ‘brother’ is back there in his own blood!”
The dwarves are several steps into the room before realizing what they are seeing, an armed and upset party directly in front of them. The orcs may or may not notice you all but if they do they do not care.

Emrys finds that he is unable to heal the fallen paladin and steps out of the way when the dwarf and orc arrives, not wanting to impeded the chace.
Tishe hovers, invisible to see how events unfols while Velarin holds back behind the fighters.
Edson slips to the side looking for a shadow and keeps his eyes on the dwarf about to receive justice.
Brom takes a swing at the dwarf but is clearly thrown off by the scene and his blade only finds air. His swing is enough that both dwarves falter and are run down by the orcs. The hammes miss but again startle the dwarves who fall prone. The orcs stand over them brining the hammers up for a coup de grâce. {Not sure if you want to save them or not but I thought I would leave the option.}
As this happens a third orc comes out of the tunnel and smiles at the party. You quickly recognize this as one of the slaves you had freed. Clearly your instructions were not fully followed but he simply nods and waits for the hammers to fall as he speaks in very broken common.
“Last guard. Slaves live.” he points over his shoulder to indicate the direction “Dwarf.” again he points this time to the NE corner of the room to the hallway.

The minotaur will attempt parry the strikes and calls for the orcs to cease, though he also knows they cannot understand him. Perhaps he movement and great sword coming in will be enough. Perhaps not.
If not, Barratore is really not losing any sleep over it and looks to the NE and heads to the hallway

Tishe’ is torn, with one yarn she won’t have any person killed outside of battle or a trial, with another the dwarf has clearly been a slaver which is grounds for summary execution, and on another both the orcs and dwarves hve been clearly identified as evil (her heart gives a quick pang for departed Royston) and they will revert to whatever as soon as the Keepers have gone, so why bother?
The hero, however, raises her hands and creates a 6’ Resilient Sphere around the probe dwarf! Maybe an example will sway minds when emotions are cooled, like a dye setting into a skein after shocked with cold water.
“By the Powers! Your actions will lead to the Lands of Unrest!”, she tells the orcs and dwarves. “Both groups have abilities that can make both rich without slavery if you choose to work together. Look at us, for example. We look very different, of different races, yet can accomplish much when working together.”

Barratore doe manage to stop one hammer from falling but the second hammer connects ending one of the slave guards. The half-orc who was one of those you had freed earlier smiles and hearing Emrys’s questions responds still trying to use common as best he can.
“Ten orcs two times. I kill dwarf and get hammers. Sleep area there, me girl there.” he gestures for the Keepers to follow “Tell orc you help. Tell make you dwarf go… we wait.” he heads off down the tunnel he came from.
The tunnels snakes in a narrow S shape that would be well over one hundred feet if it were straight. It opens to a medium sized cavern with a table and chairs. In this room are two orcs each kind of wearing pieces of dwarven armor and carrying dwarven weapons. These orcs are heavily scared and have clearly been abused in the past. You assume that this cavern was the guard post.
Past the another cavern opens up, a much bigger cavern. Eighteen orcs, of various ages and sex, are in this room looking scared and hopeful. They brighten a bit when the orc that was speaking enters but clearly do no know what to do with the sight of the keepers. A dwarf lies dead in the middle of the room, most of his armor is gone which lets you know where the orcs got their bits of armor.
While this is happening Edson invisibly scouts the passage that leads to the north form the forge room. {D1} The passageway moves north about seventy feet before terminating at a large metal door. A quick examination shows the door is not trapped and you can hear muffled voices from the other side. The voices are too muffled to make out. {Edson I have positioned you at the door on the map. You all can assume he communicates what he has found.}

While the Orc quickly leads most of the group back to his kin, V speaks in Elven to those that can understand it.
"This might be an excellent opportunity to make a better place of the wold, and influence the future of the area. To these Orcs, we have come as liberators, helping them to be free from oppression and slavery. After we have dealt with the dwarves, laying the ground work for these Orcs living peacefully here may be possible. Perhaps even one day, trading goods peacefully with the outside peoples. Unless they are indeed inherently evil, at which point, we will be back in the future. I would like to think that there is the possibility that Royston's death not only was heroic and honorable in the here and now, but helped to make the Wold a better place for the future as well."
"just a thought, but either way, we should wrap up the introductions quickly and get back to Edson and deal with the Dwarves."
Once in the room, V turns to the Orc that knows some of our language, and in Orc speaks with him. "What is your name?" V then introduces himself and the rest of the Keeper's. He then calls out to the assembled people in Orc. "We are known as the Keeper's of the Vale. We are here to help you, and to stop the Dwarven slavers. We must go now to deal with the Dwarves, but we will return and speak with you all when we are done.
V turns back to the Keeper's, and quickly translates what has been said. "Anything else we need to cover for now? or shall we go catch up to Edson?"

Barratore follows V in and stands a dozen or so feet behind the elven wizard to be less scary. At V’s introduction, he raises aa hand. “ I am Barratore steelwind.”
The fighter does not hang around long, but moves to catch up with Edson at the door. Barratore keeps his weapons and shield stowed so he can easily draw what he might need
“I kick in door and Brom and I lead the charge through? Any group buff spells to cast first?

Velarin outlines a plan of action for the orcs and tells them that the Keepers will go live with the dwarves. The orcs agree and this time agree to stay where they are now that the bulk of them are safe. The idea of working for themselves is taken well and you get the idea that many years of selective breading may have made them more intelligent than the average orc. That done he asks if there is anything else to cover.
Tiseh waits knowing that there are more difficulties to come.
Barratore says that he will kick in the door and that he and Brom will lead the charge. He asks about any buffs that should be cast first.

Brom doesn't say anything about the orcs revenge. While he would have preferred to bring all the dwarves in alive, he does understand the orcs feelings.
At the door, Brom is fine with anything. He plans to move to engage the wizards using his ring and bring them down quickly as possible.

"Unfortunately, I have used all my group buff spells, and we have not had an opportunity for me to regain spells. I can however bring in some additional support for the front line, as well as a door opener."
Once the group is ready, after receiving any buff spells able to be thrown by the other casters, V begins casting, and several seconds later a huge Earth Elemental appears. V will direct it in Terran to open the doors, and then attack the Dwarves beyond the doors. V will move to the side of the door when it is opened so as not to be in the way of the greeting that likely awaits.

The room before you is far and away the biggest room you have seen so far. Well crafted stone tiles cover the floor while black stone tiles make up the walls. To the west are two rooms that are clearly kitchens. Directly to the right is a walled in sleeping area that it appears the bulk of the dwarves use while on the north wall are individual rooms. Also to the north is a very large passageway leading deeper, the glimmer of light on water seems to be present in that direction.
This area would normally looked well lived in but any furnishings that were in the main room have been pushed back to the walls leaving what is about to become an open battlefield.
In the room you find the two remaining wizards and the escaped fungal queen leading an forces of the remaining dwarves and a furnace golem. The are spaced out around the room and clearly well prepared for battle. Additionally you can see three spore pods that have been precast by the fungal queen. Additionally, you can only assume that the wizards took the opportunity to prepare their remaining forces.
All this is seen around the body of the huge earth elemental that is about to be bathed in flames and spells from the prepared dwarves. Immediately as the door opens the earth elemental is hit by a gout of flame from the furnace golem and enveloped in a ball of fire from the green wizard. {Breath Weapon Dam: 30 Ref 19 for ½ | Fireball Dam: 38 Ref 19 for ½}
The caster in green curses as he sees that he hit a simple construct while the yellow caster bellows to his companions.
“Smash them on the anvils of your hate! The will not take the lake or those below!”
What do you do now?
{ooc: Velarin, I moved the elemental to the neared dwarf and you would have been able to get an attack off, feel free to do so with this post.}

Activating his ring, Brom appears right behind the yellow wizard. On appearing, Brom gets really, really mad. With sword out he prepares to attack.

Tishe’ flies into the room to get some maneuver space. Spying the spores, Tishe’ decides pre-emptively exploding the spores will be better than having them menacing the team. And since the spores are closer to the dwarfs right now...
The Spellweaver casts Magic Missle, two missles at the spore closest to the entrance, and three Missles at the Teal dwarf nearby. (Spore. 4 dam; Teal Dwarf. SR 25 11 dam.)
Then she casts a Quickened Scorching Ray ; one at Spore#2 and two at the nearby Purple Dwarf! (Spore TouchAC 23 Dam 15; Purple Dwarf TouchAC 27,25; SR 19fail, 30; Dam 11)

Barratore gives V a small smile, he liked the earth elemental idea and pours in right behind the creature as it opens the door. Barratore squints instinctively as the fire erupts about the powerful elemental and chuckles to himself a bit as he hears the dismay of the wizards at realizing their target.
If Tishe's spells have destroyed the spore to the left of the entrance, Barratore draws his sword, activates his familty Torc and moves past the dwarven fighter at the wizard. He knew he was exposing himself momentarily to the fighter, but getting right on top of the spellcaster was worth it. He noted Brom was heading to take out the other one.

The summoned elemental takes the full brunt of both magical attacks, slightly lessened by his natural resistance(DR). As the attacks hit, he reaches out and punches the purple warrior(last round), followed seconds later by 2 more blows. Missing all three times.(seriously? a 3, a 1, and a 5? The Woldian die roller is ridiculous)
With the path in front of him cleared by the fighters, V moves up into the air, and into the room, positioning himself so as to cast a maximized cone of cold that will effect as many of the bad guys as possible without getting his companions(Looked like I could at least get the black cleric and fungal queen without putting myself in a vicarious location) V's wave of magic washes around the bad guys, who are unaffected due to their SR(and a second 1 in four rolls. I surrender)

Brom, activating a ring, disappears and reappears next to the yellow wizard as he slips into a rage. He then gathers some extra energy and swings hard at the wizard connecting. Dumb ass GM forgot to state they had mirror image up and since you could see it it didn’t happen.
Tishe’ casts a flurry of spells striking, but not destroying, both spore pods. The rest of her magics hit the lt. blue and purple dwarves singing there beards but not doing a lot of damage.
Barratore, seeing the spore pod is not dead and having no clear path, charges in and finishes off the spore.
Velarin flies into the room and casts a cone of cold. The fungal queen and the cleric are unaffected but he does destroy the second fungal pod. {If you want to give me the location you want, I just moved you into a spot that could get both and was not in immediate danger.}
Emrys, unsure what he is facing decides to prepare to protect those in his charge. He mutters a few words of necromancy and another spectral hand appears.
Edson……….
The yellow wizard, bleeding, takes a quick step away from Brom and gestures with his hands while mumbeling some arcane words. A Wall of Clockwork appears between the barbarian and the wounded wizard. {Concentration 21, in case Brom has some ability to step up – rolled a 4!}
The Furnace Golem, not being smart, continues to attack the earth elemental. {Hit: 32/38 Dam: 21+4 Fire/32+9 Fire}
Seeing Brom appear and cause a terrible injury to the wiazard the fungal queen changes her focus and casts one of her innate spells. {Brom DC20 Will – Slow Spell}
The black cleric, thankful to not have been devastated by the cold, moves closer to Brom and begins casting a spell.
The lt. blue and purple warriors collapse on Barratores positon and each swing their hammers. The lt. blue misses but the purple connects with one blow. {Hit: 32/41 Confrim: 30 Dam: 18}
Finally, the green wizard spots the flying Velarin and grins. He mumbles a few words and tosses a bit of clay at the flying wizard as he casts a spell. {Velarin DC21 Will – Feeblemind}

Having not been directed elsewhere, the Elemental continues it's attacks on the purple warrior, hitting ac 33/33 for 12 and 28 damage.
V feels his mind being assaulted by the spell of the wizard, and shakes off the effect(will save 30) before flying to the western wall, between the two rooms' doors, at 40' in the air. He then drops an empowered fireball in the NW corner of the room, so that it only effects the fungal queen and the black cleric. 65 damage, reflex save of 26 for 32 damage.(SR 32. Finally!)

The dwarves converge on Barratore and he slashes each of them as they do. AoO in last posts Purple Dwarf Hit AC 43 Dmg 40 AoO on Blue Dwarf Hit AC 31 Dmg 40
One of them lands a glancing blow, but more importantly, Barratore notes he has been cut off from his intentional target. He would have to deal with the dwarves.
