ooc/ I don't think we have time to wait, and I agree Malchik's last post points to the tunnel on the right hand, so lets head there. If we're wrong, either way, we're dead, so no pressure.

[OOC: To Malchik- To save time, consider us in the same order in the right tunnel. Pray for us.]

OOC> Aargh what happened to my post? Swallowed up by the rift? Trying again,

On Topic

As you enter the tunnel (which is too narrow to let anyone pass) you find it slopes gently downwards. The map shows it curves continuously, which will make it impossible for you to see far ahead or behind, to the left circling three times to end at a door. Beyond the door is some kind of chamber but it is poorly drawn in comparison to the rest of the map. Strangely the same pattern appears in both other tunnels you could have taken.

Approximately half way along the tunnel two small side tunnels, scarcely larger than cupboards in size, lead off to the left. They both have doors.

As you move along the tunnel (how - run, walk, sneak?) the volume of noise coming from the direction you are headed increases. Just as you reach the doors to the side tunnels you hear the sound of something running down the passageway behind you.

[Evaeril]

Evaeril, after getting into position behind the creature was walked down the small dark tunnel. He was done with creeping. He was tired of illusion. He was weary of stealth. He had just about had it with small spaces. This had to be the coldest and tiniest position he had ever been in. It couldn't possibly get worse. Stealth... He sniffed. After the initial attack was started, there would be no silence to be had anyway. It was do or die at this point. So Evaeril slowly and steadily walked toward his battle, sword ready and head held high.

Suddenly, ears perking up, he caught the sounds of movement and talking up ahead. He pushed the vampire forward and quickened his pace. Wait He rotated an ear to face behind him. A sound? Yes... there it was again. It was getting louder. Footsteps! They were being flanked! Adrenaline coursing through his system, he moved as quickly as possible. Turning to one of the doors to a side tunnel, he looked at it and sighed.

Great. An even smaller space. How did I know this was going to happen?

If there was a trap, they had no time to disarm it. The footsteps were right around the bend! It was now or never. Evaeril hissed.

Grace of Azura... be with me!

He yanked it open. Frantically gesturing for the others to follow him, he dived inside.

E'noth was feeling the tension of the situation. Something had to break soon, and as if on cue running footsteps behind them. Seeing one of the doors to the side open, the big Nord thinks to Baba-John I'm the only one visible, and if this illusion works, I look like one of them! Someone has ducked to the side, it looks like it should be Evaeril by his possition - see if you can get Mordred into the other chamber, if not tell him to RUN, the rest of you run after me, and I will enter the room at the end of this tunnel. We can use whatever confusion is there to attack the leader, who I hope will be obvious, likely he will be the center of attention. Hit him with everything you have. Evaeril can take out our latecomer, or follow right after, whatever he decides.

The big Nord starts to run toward the end of the tunnel, and whatever fate awaits him there.

[Evaeril]

Evaeril heard E'noth's frantic message as Baba-John sent it through the group. Gesturing like mad for the creature to join him in the side tunnel, he watched as E'noth ran past. Evaeril created a thought of his own and sent it back through Baba-John.

Go my friends. The creature and I will take care of this newcomer as it passes. Hopefully we won't get to far behind. Do not forget us.

And with that said, Evaeril swung the heavy door shut and the darkness consumed them.

[Malchik]

Very fortunately for all of you as an explosion in a confined space could have been devastating the door to the first side tunnel is not locked. Less fortunately the cupboard is not empty - a scamp is sorting through various potions under the guidance of a dremora Lord. Further the noise of the door being wrenched open is heard by those in the second room who open the door blocking the main tunnel with E'noth the only one on the far side of the door. A flame atronach emerges. At this moment the running footsteps resolve themselves into a clannfear. Worst of all you realise that all your illusions have been dispelled and you can be seen clearly.

You do however have a couple of seconds in which to get in the first blow.

OOC> Correct me if I am wrong but we have Mordred and Evaeril facing scamp and dremora Lord. E'noth is stuck behind the door and cannot do anything. Number four in the line up is facing the atronach and Rhyll the Clannfear. In this instance it is acceptable to post for Rhyll but within his character as far as possible. If you will go opening doors!

[phawk69]

Hearing the noise behind him, E'noth turns to see the door he just passed swinging open, and maybe more astounding, he catches a glimps of Baba-John, who should be invisible. Realizing something has gone terribly wrong, he turns and heads for the door now blocking his progress, and hits it as hard as he can with his shoulder trying to close it on whatever is trying to get out.

[Evaeril]

Evaeril turned around in the darkness and saw them immediately. He stood there stunned. There was an awkward moment of silence for about three seconds as each party stared at each other in disbelief. The scamp squeaked. The sound brought Evaeril to his senses and he literally roared into action. Acting with lightning speed, he whipped his sword around and thrust it into the Dremora Lord's heart. Casually assuming that it was dead, Evaeril ignored the harmless scamp and turned to the vampire.

Your turn.

[OOC: I realized I took way to many liberties with my first post. I edited it to make less powerplay. I hope this is acceptable]

[mordred kaides]

As soon as he saw the creaters the adrenaline prooved to much for his mind. Any trace of civalasation was gone and he was a perfect example of a vampire given from the temple. without any thought or attantion to his seroundings Mordred threw himself on the scamp. continuesly stabing him and with his mouth locked around the necl. trying to pierce through the skin with his front theeth.

/ooc if you think anything here happens differently please say so malchik this is just what mordreds mind sees but he could be hallucinating
