OOC: Is Gaspard going to make some attempt at retrieving his armour? someone diving down with some rope and tying it to the armour to be pulled up by someone out of the water might work...

Mab the dwarf can see no obvious lever to operate the water spouts, but it is quite clear to her that the central tier of stone work could be rotated -- with the appropriate leverage. Nothing is quite so unclear to the others examining the thing. The tentative prods and pushes of Firas and Gaspard produce no movements, and the figures are so aged and worn that any particular religious significance is difficult to divine.

Tirandir gives a warning whistle, to which Dram and Vangelis respond. Dram readies his arms and calls Spaz to his side (the mutt splashing through the misty water toward him), while Vangelis calmly places his torch in the wall-mounted scone before equipping his mace.

Spaz turns his head and gives a long, low warning growl. Tirandir sees a number of shadowy, dwarf-sized figures approaching the chamber from the dark passageway. They are only visible to him, looking directly down the dark passageway, and will arrive imminently...


(No surprise roll is necessary, since the players have light, and Tirandir has already heard them approaching).

Tirandir would not give it a second thought he'd fire an arrow down the passage and back up to get some fighting room.

"Look, see," motions Mab. "This part in the middle, it spins around. Be careful; if this thing starts spraying, it could knock us off our feet and into the water. Maybe worse if it's full of acid or something!"

The dwarf is as yet unaware of the intruders down the hall, focused as she is on the column...

Gaspard

Gaspard, with some caution, quickly searches for a suitable cache of stones for his sling. If found, he will readily spin up his sling.

Vangelis loudly stage whispers "Intruders! That way!" in case there are any who still haven't heard. Then he attempts to assume a position with his back to the wall next to the passageway, ready to slam one in the head as they enter.

Owing to forward planning, Gaspard has a smooth rock in his pocket...

Jaras, having replaced his rope in his pack, holds his torch in one hand, his dagger in another and braces for an opportunity. If a suitable place to mount his torch can be found, he'll sheath his dagger and ready his bow.
