Bewildered by the current failure of their assault, to say the elves were caught off guard when the great jungle cat burst through the doorway was an understatement. They tried to reel away as the great cat burst through the two combatants that had already charged into the room, but failed miserably. With their bodies scrambling away in disarray the elves tried to maneuver in their surprise. Unfortunately, stumbling and tripping over themselves the tiger was capable of snagging one with his tremendous claws. The massive clawed paw raked across face, tear flesh and ripping through the weak armor [i](AC 15)[/i] studded leather of the elven warrior. The blow threw the elf warrior down to the floor in a shower of blood [i](HP - 5)[/i]. One elf had been viciously slain.

Without losing another step, the Ranger would make the opportunity to attack the fleeing elves. Having his weapons readied before entering the room, he took the opportunity to unleash a flurry of blades upon a taciturn elf with its gapping jaw locked in awe. With his short sword over his shoulder the Ranger drew a cross slash that failed to cut the elf as it turned to flee. Its cowardice had proven the best choice of action as the short sword missed by inches. But with lightning fast reflexes the Ranger thrust forward with his long sword piercing the elf through the chest. The blade tore through flesh, sundering bone until it burst through the chest in a shower of blood that forced the elf to go limp tumbling to the floor.

As the action unfolded the amateur spellthief masterfully handled her weapon daftly avoiding allies to masterfully seek out the remaining foe and slay him. Like lightning the long spear burst into the fight dancing around bodies to strike true. The point of the spear tore through flesh in a shower of blood severing the head from the remaining elf body as it attempted to flee. The blade penetrated the neck snapping it free from ease. 

The three elves had been left for dead in a room that appeared to have little else to offer. On the other side of the room hosted another door, an iron door. This particular door happened to be closed. What was the next task on the list?
