GM POST

As Thwip’s mind reaches for the solace of the next world, it slips away from consciousness of this one.

But before the Thing above him can fulfil its obvious desire to tear out the goblin’s throat, it is slammed face first into the wall by a ballistic dwarf. Stepping back with a satisfied grin, Ranar carefully brings down his axe onto the fallen Thing, releasing another burst of light. Ranar slings his axe and gently lifts the bleeding goblin, turning back towards the map room.

Retreating towards the map room corridor, Jibril continues to slash away with his tulwar. The first blow almost decapitates the Thing; nevertheless, it merely gurgles and continues to pursue. The second blow, delivered just as Nic arrives beside him at the base of the stairs, finishes the job.

As Eabd and Ranar lumber past with their respective cargoes, Jibril and de Courcy trade banter as they take guard at the bottom of the stairs. However, Jibril’s part in the conversation is discontinued as he slumps to the floor in a pool of his own blood, sending his torch rolling out into the main chamber.

The light reveals two more Things approaching from the darkness, splashing through the water that is slowly beginning to spread across the floor.
