Ubba is always up for a little brawling! He'll certainly be back to finish off the rats.

[ooc]I am back![/ooc]

After a short but viscous fight, the skaven break. It is apparent that they had hoped to trap you within the room, but with a dwarven berserker in the process of ripping their leader to shreds, that plan was gone. And the only plan B was squirting the musk of fear.



The skaven are fleeing to the west (towards the ???). You can pursue them, continue your exploration, or follow whichever plan you choose.

"So do we want to deal with the trap infested room or the possibly Skaven infested one? The rats are likely fleeing back towards their own filthy kind." Ubba says to the others.

Then noticing his comrades wounds, he rushes over to use the rune of Valaya to heal the barbarian.

"The rats first. Someone needs to teach them it's rude to run from a fight ye started," Ulrik says as he rolls his shoulders and neck about after his wounds have healed.

"Works for me. We can always double back." Ubba agrees. "Besides, I don't like the thought of them regrouping and getting friends."

"Fine with me, I prefer them dead, so they won't get back and attack us from behind" He looks around and try to find anything worth taking and searching for clues.

Ulrik grins as the others agree to the rat-hunt and readies his axe as he runs off after the things.

Ubba sighs again as Ulrik goes running off joyfully. He'll follow more cautiously, bow at the ready and keeping an eye out for any traps or things of interest.

Room 3

The dwarfs give chase to the skaven, following close behind. They come to a room with a large fountain dominates the small chamber.
Steam rolls off the superheated water pouring from a stone obelisk at the fountain’s center, filling the entire chamber with its haze. The musk of fear fills the air, but the skaven are soon lost within the concealment as they slip away into the darkness to the north.

Room 8

Just past the dawi is a room to the north, in which the skaven slipped away. This arched chamber contains two rows of
statues, one on the east wall and one on the west. The statues to the east depict fearsome dwarven warriors clad in simple plate armor and hefting their warhammers high. Opposite these are statues of dwarves in elaborately overdecorated armor, depicted in grotesque caricatures as overly obese, pig-nosed brutes with huge grinning mouths and beady eyes. The western statues stand in two lines, the front kneeling, and both holding sharp, jutting spears leveled at the smiths opposite them. The corpse of a skaven is impaled on the west wall. His limp body sags on the haft of a stone spear, eye to eye with his statuesque killer.

The room is filled with shadows, the torches which once illuminated having long since gone out. There are runes along the walls to the east and west, though even with darkvision a dwarf would need to get very close to read them given the low light.

Of the fleeing skaven, there is currently no sign of them...
