As both parties started moving towards each other they found that the approximately 15 feet wide, approximately 40 feet high tunnel had no cover or lighting. It snaked ahead long like a scar in the rock connecting the two chambers, and and the two parties would spot the lights carried by the other from a distance for sure. Beastmen had superior vision in the dark, so neither of the girls had any reason the believe they found further orc troops, it was pretty clear that they were going to encounter other humans. The adventurers had no idea if it was friend or foe ahead, to their knowledge Yustissa's men were at the entrance but then again they rested for a while and much has happened since they entered the underground tunnels and the spire.<br/><br/>The two parties finally met about 60 feet from another, their two lights meeting and providing an illuminated clear path between, the rocky ground littered with light rubble here and there. The girls with Hunter at point would recognize Samedi instantly, with the exception of Aleria who might only recall seeing her with their troops before. As for Samedi, she recognized her prey and the prize she was to bring before her true master!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Peeveepee!</div><div class="spoiler_body">The heroines can make perception checks as they react to notice the acolytes sticking back behind the barbarian. On a 15 or higher they can avoid a surprise round. Otherwise, Samedi's team will automatically have initiative! <br/>Will Hagan erase evidence of his treachery and capture the girls? Or will they get away from their betrayer friend and get a chance to rally anew or live in hiding? This battle will decide...</div></div>
