Looking around at the assembled melange of people, Minion of the Unholy Fragnog says "how have you all found yourselves here? And does anyone know where that tunnel or that door lead?"

"And where's the Foreman?" Breath adds. "He was down in the pit with us earlier, or at least I think it was him. But I blacked out, and when I came to again he was gone."

The Shadow catches the late-comers up on the whereabouts of the foreman and the 26 feral whites in the room next door.
"Anyone have a plan? The best I could come up with so far was to get everyone back to the entrance of the cave, cover as much of the tunnel where we fought the plant monster with oil as we can, then get them to come after us. Once most of the whites are in the tunnel we light it up and burn them out."
"Or... we could try to do something similar here, just keeping them from coming through this doorway. But somehow we have to contain them or we'll be overrun."

"Is anyone here possessed of the knowledge to summon forth a creature to vex them? Or to control one which is already here?"

"Regrettably, no," Thaimos replies. "I have no such knowledge. I am partial to the oil idea, though..."

"What do we know about white men?" The Mirthful Doomed asks. "Do they have any special weaknesses?"

"I've got a score to settle with the Foreman," Breath of New Moon say, "I like the way this is going."
"I think it best to just torch them here in room where they are currently located. In which case we need not lure them away, one less part of the plan which could potentially go wrong."

"What do we have for fuel?" Mirthful asks. "I'd rather not burn any more of my rapidly depleting liquor supply. If I run out of drink, I might die!"

Fated to Die: "Small point of order here. Maybe some of you noticed my recent arrival? In the clutches of that hulking bat-thing that can vanish into thin air? In the past hour I've been into the void between worlds, twice. The leviathan that attacked and derailed our train? I met it, up close and personal. I found Pack Slave - he's in about ten different pieces because of those two."
"We have many enemies here, and the worst of them are not behind that door. Perhaps a retreat to the train is in order? Much is left unexplored in that direction, including a tantalizing hole in the wall. Let us return and tell the other passengers that salvation lies this way, and let them contend with the White Men for us."

"I agree. Perhaps the common men have figured something out on their own."

Breath of New Moon will reluctantly leave the Foreman if that's what everyone prefers.

"If what this man says is true," motioning at Shadow, "then this foreman is weak now, and occupied as well. It might be our only chance against him."

"But how?" Mirthful says "That room is swarming with white men. We need a plan..."
He looks around. He looks at the door. He looks at the piles of refuse all around. He looks at the pit.
"...Can we trap them somehow?"

ooc: how far from the door is the pit? The sleeping chamber is 50' diameter and the manhole-sized pit is in the center, 25' from either entrance. To recap the occupants of the far room: 25 white cannibals who fight as Light Foot and whose bite requires a save vs. poison (effects of a failed save currently unknown, possibly some kind of "transformation"), the wounded Green Foreman who attacks thrice per round on the man-to-man table, and a chatty middle-aged White Man surgeon (combat abilities unknown, if any).

"Well, considering all these things, I think we should do one of two things. ONE - try to use some of this rubbish, if any of it is large enough, to barricade this door (iirc it opens toward us,) then get out of here. TWO - pile as much rubbish as possible in a tight semicircle around this side of the door, set it alight, raise a warning call to get them coming, then face them in combat as they try to navigate the flames."

OOC: Could we get a map, mushgnome? Happy to try if anyone can recommend a good mapping software, not going to subject you to my hand-drawn artwork. You can imagine the room as a 50-foot donut with a 5-foot hole in the center. The passage from the tunnel and the closed door are at opposite north and south ends of the room. Debris is piled into "nests" and some of the material is certainly flammable.

"Did any of you see another door out of the Foreman's room? A trap would be useless if they could simply go the other way." Breath of New Moon says.
She goes over to one of the piles of rubbish, and stabs around inside it with her glaive, her intention being to see if there is anything living inside...

She goes over to one of the piles of rubbish, and stabs around inside it with her glaive, her intention being to see if there is anything living inside... The Shadow only got a quick look at the Foreman's room before stealthily closing the door, but there was in fact a closed door on the opposite wall. Nothing living in the rubbish piles but lice and fleas...

"It seems then that our one advantage here is that they must come through the door to face us. If we can hold the door, we will hold the advantage. The other door may be an exit, or it may simply be another room." Breath of New Moon says.
"I do not think we can lure them into the pit, as they already know of its presence."
"I still think we should face them now, if we head back to the train they may simply follow us and attack when they have the advantage."

Fated to Die: "Their mouths looked a little... unclean. Maybe you slay every last fiend, but a single bite gets through and your goose is cooked. Count me out - I'll take my chances getting back to the train."

Breath of New Moon shrugs. "What do the rest of you think? If everyone isn't up for an attack, let us leave here with haste back to the train."

The Shadow silently nods and whispers, "We were not meant to die here..."
With that, he turns and makes his way back to the main tunnel entrance.

"I agree" Mirthful says "There's just to many of them in there. If we leave now they'll have to split up to search for us."
The Mirthful Doomed heads toward the entrance.
