Day Nine. Morning. 19th day of the month of Qrot, 1280th year of the Age of Aquilonia
"Death!" roar the warriors from the darkness!
The adventurers on the rope bridge neither attack nor retreat and more merciless spears rain down upon them, sowing havoc among their number! (3hp, 1hp and 1hp damage to Dahinna, Grigor and Iago)
All is quiet on their rear flank where Cruloc the barbarian can hear the harrowing sounds of battle!
Zahra launches a flaming javelin east. The fiery missile briefly illuminates three fierce spearmen before it plummets into the fathomless depths below!
By the power of the gods, Grigor tries to drive off their murderous enemies, to no avail!
Like the monstrous spiders that descended upon them in the accursed temple above...
...Kiri Khutan scuttles eerily along the underside of the groaning bridge! With a word of command, the torch borne by the ghost of his ancestor follows above, revealing the eastern spearmen clearly!
The rope bridge leads east to a third tunnel in the cliffs that face out onto the bottomless chasm. The rock wall prevents Kiri from advancing behind his foemen!
In the southern tunnel, Amethu tries to cast a hex upon the first warrior (T1). The Verulian sorcerer-priest labors to exert his will over him with ancient spells of beguilement!
He can see the helmet of his enemy, but with four besieged adventurers between them, Amethu cannot tell if his enchantment worked, nor whether he can even be seen or heard through the savage fray!
