Assault on The Horned Hold

Summary:

The Victors of Shadowfell Keep reassembled and then set out through the dank tunnels of the Underdark. With a crude map as guide, they stumbled past narrow passages, dripping ponds, and tall stalagmites. At a curve in the path, they party stumbled upon a fiery being leading a group of lizard-like humanoids up the opposite direction. Gilic started to cluck a hailing greeting when the flying man of fire signaled to his followers to attack.

The troglodytes charged into the parting at alarming speed, cutting through front line and making way directly to Cedric. The mage defended himself well, unleashing a torrent of spell work upon his foes. He ultimately fell, though revived by Shava. The battle quickly broke into two front, with Gareth and Gilic fighting the angel of valor while the rest of the party focused on the troglodytes. As the last troglodyte fell, the angel of valor surveyed the carnage and flew off up the tunnel.

VoSFK rested before pressing on. Three hours late, they saw light at the mouth of an impending cavern. Taegahn stealthily scoped out way lay ahead: a massive gate house, guarded by joking but alert orcs. Orchid snuck to the gate and managed to pick the lock unnoticed. Gareth crept to her side and on signal, pushed the gate open and charged forth. The orcs recovered from the shock of the opening door quickly and the ensuing battle was pitched. The adventurers quickly tore into the five orc guards and felled all except for one who managed to step into the only other door in the guard house. An audible click sounded behind him.

"Quote board!" - Megan, repeatedly trying to add to the quote board.

"What's between us? A gulf of hatred." - Blake to Craig, after Craig told a "what's between us" chicken joke.

"Only if it's Craig's forehead." - Megan, on if Taegahn can jump and stick to a wall.

"That's a fresca not a wet rag. You are god awful at this." - Blake on Craig's map skills, as the two continue bickering like a cute old married couple.
