Olaf sees the change in Koch's stance and sensing combat, shouts loudly, "Dieter! Mads! Ulric! Come here!"waysoftheearth wrote:Olaf and Koch
The passage travels some 20ft or more in a straight line before veering somewhat to the right, and then proceeding for a like distance up to an open door way. Beyond this there is a large low room cluttered with rows of racks and crates and miscellany.
The ceiling seems strangely low -- Olaf could almost reach up and touch it -- and appears to be wholly made of timber boards resting on perpendicular thick joists and bearers.

But the pair hardly have time to study the carpentry. The pair of them hear the distinct clatter of numerous pairs of boots on the floor above them, and just as Koch arrives in the doorway (Olaf is right behind him, but can't yet into the room) he hears footsteps immediately to his right. He looks about and spies a dastardly looking fellow coming right at him out of the shadowy stores, a great black cloak billowing out behind him and a long stabbing blade gleaming wickedly in the pale blue light!
Combat!
Neither Koch nor the killer are surprised (rather fortunately for Koch). The killer is only 5 paces away... what will you do?
