Subject: [KQ] Rhoan: [warehouse] Moving alongi

	Rhoan had just entered the hallway when suddenly the passageway
closed behind Marcel, cutting him off from the rest of the group.
Then a side-door opened, revealing several unnatural looking hounds.  The
orc-hounds moved quickly to attack the questers.  The hallway being to 
narrow for bow or battle-axe, Rhoan hastily drew a hand-axe in each hand.
Rhoan tossed one axe at the first mutt to present itself as a target.  The
axe flew true, hitting the dog squarely between the eyes.  As Rhoan threw
the axe, another orc-dog leaped at Rhoan's neck.  Rhoan tried to duck, and 
was partially successful as the dog's teeth grazed Rhoan's shoulder.  The
hound landed in a clear space and instantly leaped again.  This time Rhoan
was ready.  He dodged to the side, bringing his other axe around and slicing
off on of the dog's rear legs.  The orc-dog howled with pain as it tried 
to land on three feet.  The dog landed hard, causing it to bang its head on
the floor and stunning it.  Rhoan quickly put the creature out of its misery 
and then look to the rest of the room.  The other questers had easily finished
off the rest of the orc-dogs and had started to look to their wounds. 
Rhoan's wound was bloody but shallow.  Looking at the orc-dogs, he thought
that maybe getting a cure disease after this was over might not be a bad idea.

	Moving through the kenal room, Rhoan moved just in front of Maleiu
and Thk as the lizardman picked up the dark warrior.  Maleiu came looking
slightly ticked with a very suprised guard.  The party quickly moved toward
the door on the far side as more guards gathered above.  Thk said there
was water behind the door.  The room was filled from just below floor level
with water.  Just as Colin was about to dive in, Captain noticed some
rippling in the water, pirahnass.  After a quick debate, Thk spoke some
strange words as he kneeled before the water.  Instantly there was a four foot
wide passageway through the water.  Rhoan followed the rest of the group
across the room.  He was happy he was wearing heavy leather boots, as the
fish tried to bite the group as they moved through.  Just as Rhoan climbed
up into the doorway, he heard a whoosh as the water filled in behind him.
Malieu swam to safety, taking only minor bites.  The guard prisoner was
bleached bones in under 10 seconds.  Thk seemed to escaped through a grating
in the floor.  Rhoan moves to join the group as they continue on, hoping
both missing comrades are well.
