Pelenwin thankfully grasps Mads' spare hand-axe. An Ogre will have to think twice before approaching him now!

Caine is indeed among those with missiles ready...

The door does not burst inward.

Instead, a fist-sized lump is pushed through the gap, at force, accompanied by... a harsh laughter from beyond?

The object smokes as madly as any green-leaf brush-fire as it bounces, once, then twice off the jumble of barricading equipment and then hits the ground with a wet thump. This seems to ignite the smoking to explosive proportions! A thick, dark green smoke billows up at a frightening rate to roil in churning waves along the low ceiling as it begins to flood the room!

The smell of it is most foul before the cloud even engulfs you, and surely the horrid fumes it will choke the entire chamber within a few minutes!


The door end of the chamber is now completely obscured by the advancing, wretched green mist.

What now?

Mads the Fair

Mads lets loose an arrow into the mist then calls out for a tactical withdrawal. "We've got a problem here, fellas!" He tries to take one last breath of clean air, holds it, and shields his face as he retreats.

"I think you're right, lads," Pelenwin calls out to his mates, following Mads closely with his hand-axe at the ready.

Anwyn bounds ahead of him, putting an arrow to her bow string, and scampers down to the right angle corner in the passageway from where she can observe all comers...
Anwyn is it safe back there to exit for we are coming out, I hope it is not a trap!", yells Padrig.

Ulric stares at the billowing green smoke in admiration.

"Magnificent," he says.

Ulric then beats a hasty retreat with the others.
