Arthur casts a digging spell, and the block and spear drop nearly flush with the cave floor. Three figures are seen about one hundred yards down the tunnel, which appears to slope downward and to the right. All three are heavily armed with both melee and ranged weapons.

Arthur "Jack, any indications as to which of them is the psi?"

Before Jack can respond, the strangers fire their first volley. Two are firing bolts at an incredibly rapid pace, while the third is lobbing some sort of ignited shell. The shells shatter in mid-air, leaving a dust which lingers and does not seem to settle.

[ooc: The bows are chu ko nu or something of the sort--semi-auto crossbows fitted with exchangeable magazines. The shells just have a small combustible which burns down to the shell, causing it to burst. The dust is the damping dust Narp cooked up back on p.3 of the "shiny new RP thread" thread.]
