The standoff between our heroes and the twiggy creatures lasted for a few seconds before they realized that the twigs were waiting for something. Not wanting to find out what that is, our heroes attacked them. The fight was furious, and each of the party members were struck by the poisonous thorns covering the beasts. Our heroes left the room and traveled down a hall where it appeared to have been damaged by some kind of an earthquake which split the hall and made a natural crevice leading to the left and the right. At first, they headed to the right, but Alton received a vision from Pelor about a fire in the shape of a worm. Weary, and out of spells for the day, they chose not to continue that way, but instead go into the other section of the split hallway and seek refuge somewhere for the night. They found a place where the door was closed tight due to the shifting of the earth. Rykasha was strong enough to lift the door free, and our heroes stayed the night in the remnants of a broken down room that contained a statue of a dragon that had fallen over.
In the morning, fully rested, our heroes set off going the opposite way from Alton’s vision the preivous evening. They found themselves in the middle of an empty room leading out into a hallway where a couple of goblins were busy working at a table. Tai and Alton sneaked up on the unarmed foes, and knocked them out quickly without making any noise. They checked another of the rooms and found a store of mostly useless weapons but a few that were salvageable.
Killian checked the next door available, and heard the sounds of movement from inside. Crouched to attack, our heroes are ready to blast into the room with weapons drawn…
