It bends to the left and enters a a big common room perhaps 30 feet wide and with a variety of alcoves and curtains. Suddenly, out pops Detrak, and tries to backstab the human in the back. Estaish. It misses and clangs off his armor.

A whole force of people pop out of hidden alcoves, and two mountain lions are released by someone waiting in the tunnel out of this room.

There is the thief to their rear, two mountain lions, a a group of three fighters, and a older woman wearing long red robes. Battle ensues.

The woman casts magic missile and Alzar takes 7 damage. Two bolts are fired at the group. Both miss. A fighter-ish looking one with a dagger in each hand is approaching. The thief stabs and misses.
