This cave differed from the others. Its layout was flat when the other caves had been multi-layered.
This meant that the party's fighting formation would have to be different. They couldn't form a choke point and have I'die, Athena, and Phoenix bombard from a distance.
Astaroth and Gulnur would have to fight as vanguards, making sure they didn't get bypassed. It would not be simple, since the terrain was so open.
As they advanced into the cavern, the wolves resting at the edge finally discovered them, howling to alert the others.
"Alright, here it goes!" Astaroth shouted.
He and Gulnur fanned out a little, with White death taking the center, and cleaning up any enemy that tried going around them. Astaroth forwent his spirit melding for the beginning since that would leave Gulnur alone to deal with lots of pressure.
