(OOC: 16 with each dagger, wow.) Elhon's daggers slammed into the man's head knocking it into the floor, leaving him completely out cold. The man at the other end of the tunnel let out a string of Orlesian curses, not quite as impressive as Elhon's and fired again. This time his bow string snapped in his hand, with a roar of frustration and pain he threw the remains of his short bow to the ground, drew his daggers and charged Elhon. (OOC: Wow bad day for him lol. Combat order Elhon, wounded guy.)

Elhon blew out his lamp and retreated into the darkness.

The man reached the place he'd last seen Elhon and slashed down on it, meeting only air.He let out more angry Orlesian curses and squinted into the darkness. "Where are you coward?"

Elhon attempted to sneak up on the man and stab him from behind.

The man heard Elhon at the last second and started to turn around but it was too late, the two blades went clean through his chest and he went slack.

Elhon removed the man's weapons, as well as disarming the unconscious man, and started to head down the hall, dragging the unconscious man with him.

The man had two ordinary daggers, the still living one had a great sword. (OOC: back the way he came or forwards?)

[OOC: Forwards, towards the cavernous area]

The cavern was large and open, the ground was uneven and the 6 tunnels leaving this room, looked entirely natural, none of them had a flat floor and several were several feet above the ground.

Elhon let the unconscious man flop to the ground and keeled over him, putting a knee on each of the man's wrists. With his right hand, Elhon held a dagger to the man's throat. Which his left hand, Elhon grabbed him by the chest and shook him, trying to rouse him.

The man came round after a minute or two, when he saw Elhon he gasped and began to struggle before giving up. "What do you want?" He squealed.

"Tell me what you're doing here," Elhon said. "And why, or I'll feed you to the Darkspawn."

"I- I- I- We're supposed to get the darkspawn to at- attack. The Orlesians... they just hired us as extra muscle."

" I- I don't know! I didn't even get orders from the source, these orlesians hired us for him. We didn't ask questions with the coin they were throwing around!"

"So the Orlesians are working for someone else? Let me guess, they didn't tell you who, right? Let's try one you know. How do I seal this place again? I'm guessing if the Darkspawn could be thwarted by something as simple as a door, there wouldn't be any blights."

"The control is over there." he said nodding at the panel on the inside of the tunnel. "Abel had a sort of picture of it with his maps, to show how it worked... b- but I think he broke it when he was done! Please I have to get out of here, when they come back, they might have darkspawn right on their tail!" He kept looking towards the other tunnels as he said this.

"Let's make a deal," Elhon said. "If I let you go, you go straight to the guard and tell them exactly what it is you've done. I'll know if you have. If you haven't, I'll send the Crows after you. I'm told for a few extra coins they can have someone poisoned with the taint. I think that would be poetic. Oh, and when you talk to the guard, you had an attack of morals all by yourself. You never saw me. Oh, last thing, one of your friends and one of your employers are still alive up there. Just tell them it's done so they leave. Report them too after. Can you remember all that, or should I write it down? Assuming you can read, of course."

Elhon got off him. "Go. And, again, if you make me regret this, I'll make you regret it."

The man took off with more speed than seemed plausible for a man who'd been out cold less than a minute ago.

Elhon searched the body for the maps that the man had mentioned.

There were no maps on the man's body. As Elhon searched he started to hear running footsteps and raised voices coming from the other side of the cavern the echoes made it difficult to determine which tunnel they came through however.

Elhon weighed his options quickly. If they were coming from the tunnels past the door, there were probably Darkspawn involved. If they were coming from the way he came, it was either the city guard, if they'd been fetched implausibly fast, or it was the other mercs, which would total the door guard, the woman from Orlais, a drunk man, and the person he'd already beaten senseless, at the most. It wasn't appealing, but it was pretty obvious which of the two was preferable, and Elhon grabbed the lantern, and one of the torches and started to head back the way he came, out of the tunnels. He didn't bother to relight the lantern as he went, but flooded the bulb with oil instead.

(OOC: Not sure what that would do?) "What the hell! someone killed Mander, where's Flint?" Said another Orlesian voice "I dunno maybe he went for help?" said a fereldan one, blades could be heard unsheathing. "I don't know what you are all playing at, if you're turning on us or what, but if you want to get paid you're going to give me a 30 second head start." said the Orlesian shouted angrily "They'll be on us in a minute!" said a new incredulous fereldan tone "Take it or leave it." There was a long pause. "Fine! fine! go!". One set of footsteps could be heard running as Elhon got half way up the second straight.
