The team did not hear anything approaching from within the mine, so they threw in some pebble illuminated by light spells and waited some more. Still invisible, they crept in and looked around. The room was filled with old, mostly broken, mining carts, buckets, crates, and so forth. It was obvious this entrance, at least, is not being used as an active mine. They picked a route and went forward a while before realizing the tracks showed this is not a heavily used pathway. They backtracked and followed one showing heavier traffic.
A while later, with some of them now visible because they had to leave the confines of Komorebi’s invisibility sphere, they came upon another chamber. Khesen carried an illuminated pebble and was able to shine some light on the situation. Three cavernous bears growled in the dark! They were lean and mean and approaching hungrily. Behind them, armed dwarves and orcs (an odd combination) crouched behind barrels and boulders for cover. The bears attacked while the dwarves fired pistols and orcs fired blunderbusses.
Claude blasted one of the dwarves into a smoldering heap with a maximized shocking spark spell. Komorebi inspired his allies and cast mirror image. Notch unleashed a volley, Snagy advanced like a tank while giving battlefield tactics, and Khesen and Hekera moved up to engage. One of the bears grabbed and grappled Hekera while Khesen ducked around a barrier to engage an orc blunderer. Unfortunately, he took the light source with him throwing several of the other foes into shadows and concealment. Meanwhile, Helg dropped a flame strike right on top of several enemies.
Arrows flew, spells ripped through the dark, and blunderbuss blasts echoed in the halls. Komorebi unleashed several ear-piercing screams to great effect. The enemies landed several blows, but the team was able to keep up the pressure. Hekera consumed a potion of enlarge person to break the grapple with the bear, and things fell apart for their opponents. Soon, they were defeated, and the team listened for approaching danger before quickly looting the room.
