Do you guys have any thoughts on my plan?
If we all agree, then let's coordinate our movements. I reckon if we get two of the doors shut, we can fight them one at a time - assuming there is more than one.

edit: Nice one, Kiri!

Yes, I think it's a good plan.

The antechamber is bare. The eastern and western doorknobs could be tied together, if Asterion doesn't topple?

The northern door opens into the antechamber. It could be spiked and the north and south doorknobs tied together?

The Pict could squeeze past Asterion, through the doorway. Kiri could not.

I thought the western and southern door handles could be secured, and then we could take care of the miscreant in the eastern chamber.

Sorry, I was using the opposing doors as the best means to secure them tight.

You could tie the western and southern door handles to each other?

I naturally thought that since Asterion was occupying that doorway, we wouldn't be able to close it.
Can we not tie the southern and western door handles together? I don't see why not.

Don't be sorry, guys, it's part of the game! Almost as good as being eaten by a hydra!
Always a good time, Inferno!

Ancient Greece is hard on PCs! Thanks, hedge!

Cruloc is moving the statue so that we can get at whatever is in the eastern chamber.
The plan is to take them out one by one.
Object now or forever hold your peace.

When we get into melee, I recommend we form a line, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, sort of like a makeshift phalanx. We constantly grunt or speak to let each know where we are, and we use forward thrusts to attack. No slicing swings.

I ain't running the show, so if you guys have an alternate plan, I'm all ears.
Do you want to flee?
My plan is the phalanx, wall to wall in the chamber and shoulder to shoulder, moving from north to south. Thrusting as we go.

that sounds good to me. if we can get the mirror back even better.

Sounds good.

Excellent.

The mirror is silver, so it won't break if it is trod upon.

We should aspire to this level of communication in the dark.

Hut hut hut hut is Cimmerian for... what?

Good question.

One other suggestion: Amethu ought to keep his eye on the other doors, and by that, I mean keep one hand on the rope holding them shut. If there are any vibrations, he should notice.
