"You're right, elf. Can you or any of the others identify any of the symbols from here before I go in?"

Carrow cannot identify the symbols. Kelgar examines them over Dorgath's shoulder...

"Well, they're not elven and they don't look like the chaos sigils we saw earlier or anything like what the necromancer was using. I'm not a wizard, but I think this is not human magic at all. Perhaps monsters put these in after they occupied the place?"

"Ah. Maybe put in by that orc shaman? Anything by a greenskin should be smashed though."

Dorgath proceeds with the original plan and enters the room to search for traps, secret doors, and loot.

Part fungus and part flesh, cave squigs are almost all teeth, easily able to take a man's leg off with a single bite. The goblins that live in the caves and tunnels under the Worlds Edge Mountains hunt wild squigs. When trained (and even when they're not), the squigs are used as guard dogs or herded into battle.

Three trained cave squigs and their six goblin handlers, having heard something, burst through the far door and flood into the room, poised to attack...

Nothing Special
Throg will search for an appropriate place to hang his lantern or place it on the floor if he can't find one. He will then hide behind Kelgar while he pulls out his Axe of Mighty Striking and Sword of Defiance. Then, if there's time, he'll start slicing up squiqs.

Before the squigs have a chance to charge him, Throg deftly moves behind Kelgar for cover while switching weapons and placing the lantern in the corner of the room.

-Dorgath tries to kick a goblin, but pulls a muscle instead.

Round 2
-The Power Phase is 1 for this turn...

Everyone, even the cave squig, raises their heads at a sudden, intense rumbling sound from above. Cracks appear in the doorway behind you and begin propagating. Small rocks shower Carrow and Throg. Thinking quicly, Carrow lunges for the lantern and dashes straight into one of the goblins, escaping the cave-in. Throg find and opening too, and a large section of the room is buried under fallen rock.

Arg!!!! I hate this underground, the sky doesn't fall on you.
Carrow will use the lantern to protect himself if the dumb mosters don't stay away.

So everyone's in the room and I presume the doorway is part of the room that's covered by the cave-in?

Dorgath, being accustomed to underground rumblings, hopefully ignores it and keeps to the matter at hand: Smashing more greenskins!

"That's what I'm talking about!" Dorgath resumes his original activity of searching the room for traps, secret doors, and loot (including the greenskin bodies).

The Tentacled One
The cave-in has covered over a quarter of the room's surface area and left the rest of the floor covered in dust and scattered rocks. Still, Dorgath's search does turn up one item of interest: another one of those magic runes for attaching to a weapon. This one is highly stylized. Dorgath can't figure out if it was in the room the whole time, if the cave-in dropped it there somehow, or if it was simply lost by the goblins in the scuffle.

Dorgath catches some sounds behind the door. It sounds like breathing and then someone distant saying something, followed by another voice closer to the door. Dorgath only catches the last few words...

"...they're coming back!"

"Let's bust in and surprise them!" Dorgath gets ready to open the door and charge in if the others are ready.
