Okay, I wanted to get clear on the tactical situation here, because I don't think there's any reason for an in-character argument over the facts. FD, please correct me if any of this is wrong:<br/><br/>- We entered this general area through a passage to the southwest. This is the one where there was the barricade with the guys hiding behind it. As far as we know, short of a secret door or something, this route is secure. There's nothing to go back and check there.<br/><br/>- We're in a complex of maybe six little rooms (judging by the map). We've been in three of these, and have looked in a fourth.<br/><br/>- In one of the rooms (the southeast room) there's a hole in the floor that used to have a rope ladder going down. There are some enemy archers down there.<br/><br/>- In one of the rooms (the north room) there's a ladder going up. The cultist with the glaive went up there. (Did they take the glaive with them up the ladder or drop it on the floor?)<br/><br/>- There are two doors that we haven't opened yet on this level.<br/><br/>- I'm also assuming that the horse and the tiger aren't going to be going up or down any ladders, although I might be wrong about the tiger.<br/><br/>So basically I don't want to get into a big in-character discussion about securing our rear unless we're all on the same page OOC about what the situation is. I'd also be 100% fine with a summary by the GM of our having explored the general area, collected loot from the fallen, etc. Unless there are any particularly nasty surprises that you'd like us to come across in "real time".<br/><br/>
