Deputy Klem "Don't look at her," retorts Klem to Val, clearly having taken the killoren's general comment for something more specific. "She just ate, and these things are nasty anyway! I'm sure they have some goblins or gnomes or something on hand to take care of that kind of thing." He shifts his focus to the group as a whole, giving the briefest glance over to make sure everyone is still in fighting shape. "Onward, let's hope the next inhabitant is more interesting!"

As the adventurers continue to follow the left wall, they see something unexpected from up ahead - flickering light, coming from around the corner ahead of them. Sorry for the delay, dealing with some work issues. The red dot is you guys, the yellow arrow points in the direction of the light.

Roarke sneaks forward, leaving behind her torch in order to not draw attention. As she moves forward, she hears a clanking sound coming from up around the corner. Staying low and close to the wall, she peeks around the corner, where she spots what is causing the sound - three humans, hammering on the cavern wall with picks. Another man, dressed in more fashionable and well made clothing than the ones hammering on the wall, seems to be deep in conversation with an ogre, the pair of them apparently overseeing the other three. The large maul the ogre is leaning on is likely the cause of death for the kobolds near the entrance to the cavern.

Val Val hunches over. "So... there's a human and also an ogre. Does the... dangerous creature thing override the humans? I mean if we attack the ogre the humans will retaliate, so should we try to talk them into leaving and also have that cover the ogre? Is that okay, can we... not fight the dangerous creatures, or is that a requirement?" She sniffs, then glances at the halfling. "Where's that contract?"

Deputy Klem Klem manages a whisper, surprisingly. "It's a clear case of aiding and abetting a dangerous creature, which in any civilized place is punished equally, but if you want to read all this legal stuff, feel free." Klem hands the contract to Val. "I say we charge and catch them by surprise!"

According to the letter of the contract, you should technically order the humans to leave, only attacking them if they refuse or attack in return. The ogre, as a Dangerous species, should be killed.

The ambush is quickly plan and put into practice. With the ogre facing away from the darkness, they had little to worry about it's darkvision, and the adventurers are able to make their way up to the limit of the torchlight. Unfortunately, that is where their luck fails, as Cal accidentally kicks a rock, sending it skittering across the ground, and the well-dressed man notices their approach. "Foes!" he shouts. You guys almost managed a complete ambush, but Cal failed the move silently check by 2. The yellow letter "i" things are torches. Also it is a surprise round, so standard actions only (though there is a standard action charge!)

Cal charges at the ogre, and her blade lands a cut along his arm as he turns to face her. Roarke's charge against the well-dressed man does not fair as well, as he nimbly avoids the attack. He glares for a moment, then forms his own glowing blade, this one a bright red. He slashes at her, nearly landing a blow that would have severed her arm had Roarke not twisted and managed to turn it into merely a moderate wound. The Animal makes his own charge at the ogre, and bites deeply into his leg. Cal hits the ogre for 3, Roarke misses. Roarke is hit for 9. The Animal hits the ogre for 10.

Val Val is momentarily a little stunned, they probably should've tried to talk this out but whatever. Ogre. Right. Kill the ogre regardless, sure, she can try that. She advances, trying to just shoot over the heads of her companions, and lands a nice solid shot on a bit of the cave roof. Great. Whoops!

Cal circles around the ogre and cuts at him, but his armor absorbs the blow to no effect. The fancily dressed man shouts "Die" as he slashes at Roarke with his glowing blade, but Roarke manages to avoid the attack. The workers drop their picks at their feet and pick up loaded heavy crossows that had been lying next to them, previously unnoticed, and fire at Cal. One crossbow misfires, the second is blocked by her shield, and the final shot is stopped by her armor. That's not quite flanking position, unfortunately, and that's a miss..

Khaemwaset smashes the flat of his blade into the side of the enemy mindblade's head, dropping him to the ground. With both of their bosses down, the workers are quick to surrender. They explain that they were being paid to mine out a tunnel to outside of the city for a planned smuggling operation. After searching the rest of the caves, the adventurers hand over their captives and the unconscious mindblade, and are paid for their work. gently caress it, 2nd level is boring so lets get it over with. After some consideration, I've decided that 4th level is also lame so we're jumping straight to 6th level! Additional rules are in the character creation thread.

The adventurers reconvene once more, ready to put their bows, blades, and miscellaneous other objects to work. Guard Lieutenant Asher is once more their contact, and she lays out the situation in her standard terse infodump. "Recently, there have been a number of attacks on caravans on the Rhest-Terrelton trail," she says, pointing to a spot on the map, where two rivers converge. "It's a somewhat swampy area, and it seems that a group of lizardfolk have set up there and decided to start causing trouble - we've got records of two attacks that were driven off, and three more caravans that left Rhest never arrived at Terrelton. There's been mentions of trained beasts, as well, so you'll have to watch out for that. Estimates are that there are a few dozen of them, so you'll have to track them down. Questions?"
