(IC) The Stone Tooth-Great Ulfe (Area 12)

Gar looked at landor and Perrin, and simply shrugged. "If you need rest, then we rest.....else we push on."

The group locks the door and barricades it but they decided to have watches. Nothing happens during the nights and the group gets rested. They head back towards the bird things and everything seems to be where they left it.

Landor readies his mace and shield and falls into a position beside Gar. “I’m ready when you are. We should try advancing slow and steady in formation until we can better judge what lies ahead.”

Gar, standing at the edge of the door, nods, and opens it slowly and edges in the door, again cutting to the left wall so others can enter.

(IC) The Stone Tooth

Lyrian had had a very interesting couple of weeks.  Traveling through a town to the north had brought her in contact with several dwarves at an inn she'd been staying at.  Upon hearing she was intending to test herself against Durgeddin the Black's broken stronghold, they had asked her a favor in return for outfitting her for her journey.  They had a kinsmen, one Thorin Diamondgut, who was supposed to be doing the same thing.  But his family had a great need of him back home, and they had been trying to get him the message.  The dwarves were stuck in town waiting for the repair of their wagon, but Lyrian could travel quickly and was going to the very place they needed to be!

For the price of getting her the food and supplies she needed to make the journey more easily, Lyrian had readily agreed.  It was good of them to trust an elf, but Lyrian had grown up amongst peoples who were often considered misfits and outsiders.  She reserved her judgment on many things.

Murderous orcs, on the other hand, she did not mind judging.  From the state of the corpses she had found littering the trail from Blasingdell and the abandoned farmstead to the Stone Tooth door and bridge, it was clear that Thorin and the companions he had raised in Blasingdell had taken down the orc raiders with extreme prejudice and swift hands.  Not to mention the filthy ex-prisoners who she had met coming out were very forthcoming with the description of the unusual group of adventurers.

Lyrian smiled to herself; this was bound to be a show well-worth a bard's tale!

As she entered the Stone Tooth, it became clear that the Thorin's band had been busy indeed.  Following the signs of slaughter, she crossed the narrow bridge, went by the open "cage", and down another corridor to where the sounds and sights of fresher bodies lay.

She thought she might have heard some whistling from the bird-man those in town had talked about.  And then some odd flapping...

Sucking in a breath and taking a chance, she spoke out loud so that she might be identified as a friend immediately, rather than tragically later with a sword in her gut.

"I greet you, friends and allies of Thorin!  I am Lyrian Swift, and I bear a message from his kin!" she says just loud enough to be conversational.  No need to shout and bring too much extra danger upon her head!

"Unless someone is dying, perhaps messages can wait until after we deal with the birds," stated the sorcerer as he waited for Landor to proceed after Gar before he went into the room himself. Perrin figured that they would figure out what to do with the new arrival, but he supposed that it was mostly Thorin's concern since he had been named.

"Close it halfling." Thorin grumbles and takes the note, nodding to her."I seen her around." He leans against the wall, reading it. Once done, he grabs his pack and instead of walking towards the birds he heads back the way he came but offers the rapier to the elf."Magical and all that. My fam needs me. You go with them alright?"

Tai lowers his head and walks up to Thorin. He tilts his head, making a whistling sound. But he gets a hug from the man.

Stepping away, Tai looks at Thorin then at the new elf.

Lyrian bows at Thorin.  "I thank you for the gift, and I hope your travel is swift and safe," she says before he departs.  Left facing the bird man and the others, she gives them a bow as well.  "My apologies for my abrupt introduction.  I heard the rumors of the wealth of this place, and the orc raiders who have brought so much woe, and I hoped to aid both in the cause of making the world better, and in the cause of making my living.  I'm Lyrian Swift, as I said, and I'm a dab hand at getting into things that should be shut, getting into places that want me out, and getting out of places and things that want me to stay.  Get me behind someone in a fight and I can get them to dearly regret it.  What's all this about birds, now?"

Lyrian is particularly small and slender, even for an elf, with dark blonde hair worn long and neatly braided, and dark green eyes.  She wears fine mithril armor and carries a neat rapier and small hand crossbow, though the latter is stowed at her belt.  She has a number of colorful scarves wrapped in her hair, about her waist and neck, tied around her backpack and on her sword hilt.

Landor bows to the new arrival and proudly displays his holy symbol of Pelor. “I am Landor Halbrek, humble servant of the Sun God Pelor. Your appearance with the message from Thorin’s kin puts meet at ease in trusting you at this point. Through this door we heard a flapping of wings. The door was locked we suspect for good reason. We are here to exterminate the orc threat and wish to search all tunnels. Stay behind me, the big guy, and the bird. We move in formation. Let’s go.”

Lyrian looks at her new companions.  "Thanks, Brother Landor.  The big guy... I met a little girl on the road.  You must be Gar?  She spoke very highly of you."  She nods at the bird (moving behind him and Gar as requested) and the halfling.  "What do I call you, if you please?"

Gar looked at the woman and smiled a toothy smile. "Well met Lyrian....i am indeed Gar. i suspect yoy won't get much out of him...." indicating Tai. "He's a being more of action than words... in fact i don't know if he can talk. Never heard him speak. Any rate, his name is Tai "

He then smiles at the halfling. "Perrin here....he speaks well. "

He again looked at the woman. "The girl was part of a family i was staying with. They helped me in a dark time and became friends. The girl is someone i care for also."

The orc list his smile, almost sorrowful thinking of the girl and her loss, then he looked again at the others. "Lets see what this door holds."

Gar sliwly opened the door and edged in and cut to the right, letting others come in after him

"Farewell, Thorin. I do hope that everything with your family turns out alright," called out the sorcerer as he watched the dwarf leave. Not dwelling on the departure for long, he turned his attention to the replacement for their former ally, and Perrin wondered if this was an even exchange, an upgrade or a downgrade. He supposed that they would soon find out.

Putting a smile on his face, the halfling turned to Gar. "Thanks for the compliment, my friend," he stated before refocusing his attention on Lyrian. "Though, I probably also talk more than I should, but I will second Gar's assessment of Tai. One of few words, but definitely makes his feelings known just the same."

"Of course, you will learn this very quickly as we sort out these birds," Perrin said as he waited for the others to proceed through the door and then followed after.

The ceiling soars 30' high in the center of this impressive chamber and the walls are carved in images of dwarves at their forges. Two large stone doors exit to the north and to the south. Several old skeletons lie scattered near the northern door. A grate of wrought iron stands in the western wall.

In the center of the floor, a natural rift decends sharply. Dozens of stone steps lead down into the darkness. From far below you can hear the distant sounds of running water and a curious buzzing sound.

The buzzing grows louder and then four large flying things-birds, insects, birds its hard to say-emerge from the stairwell and arrow towards you but they keep their distance (about 15' up!)

"Ehlonna's Eyes, what are they?!" Lyrian hisses.  She grabs her hand crossbow and aims it at one of the creatures.  It was doubtful, given the skeletons, that the creatures were peaceful, but she wasn't going to provoke them into attacking before the others were ready.

Gar, looking at the flying beasts, had a grim look on his face, tightening his grasp on his axe. He could throw one of the throwing axes at them, but wouldn't guaranteed to hit them, and given it is up, may hit someone else if he missed.

"Starting to miss the orcs." he says with a sly grin....with his orcish features it made it look more a snarl. "...at least i could reach them!"

He stood at the front of the group, his stance wide while looking at the beasts. "If they make a move, stay behind me Lyrian."

<OOC: Gar will hold move until one attacks AND is in Melee range

Landor could tell by the looks of the bones that this may not end well for them. He grasped his holy symbol said a prayer to Pelor. “By Pelor’s Light what is that?!”

Taking in the entire room, Perrin had a similar thought to what Landor did about what the flying birds were going to do, and with that thought in mind the sorcerer sent two magical darts at one of the flying creatures.

Landor barely dodges out of the way of the stirge. He was quite shocked at what the creature was. When he saw one attach itself to the little halfling, he got a sinking feeling in his gut something bad was about to happen if he didn’t swat it off quickly. The cleric raised his mace high and brought it crashing down on the back of the creature. “Pelor’s might shall prevail!”
