Seeing Reinar's weapon destroyed, Rhen will give it his all to take this Dwarf down.

"Ye not be hurtin' me friends."

Back stab: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 71d6 ⇒ 3

Bulgard sinks an arrow into the undead dwarf for 8 HP of damage.

You see the forge spurned injuries healing quickly.
The undead dwarf looks up and bellows forth a cloud of stinging soot, ash, and glowing embers. It extends 20 ft in every direction.

Reflex save vs DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Reinar does not crit doing 20 HP of damage to the undead dwarf. It is destroyed. The soul chain and hammer fall to the ground. We remain in initiative. The burning embers remain airborne. Each link of the chain shows the shadowy visage of its trapped soul, its face twisted in a silent scream of horror.

Zevon gives the forge a wide berth, making his way to Cirthana. The wand flashes in her direction.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

It seems that this chain still binds souls in torment. Are we able to free them so they may find peace?

Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Rhen will take up the hammer of the fallen Dwarf, and start to attack the chains.

Hammer time? Insert modifiers and damage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16

Bulgard believes the forge spurned is still in the concealment. He wastes another pair of arrows.

Cirthana releases a wave of positive healing energy
healing: 1d6 ⇒ 5
And another healing: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Cirthana gets a good look at the soul chain Rhen is destroying. "Oh my."

Zevon 18/20, Reinar 28/28 Rhen 21/21 Bulgard 24/24 Cirthana 20/20
Cirthana can see again.

"RRRRRRRRWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!", Reinar holds his sword above his head and drops it on the chains with all his strenght!

Attack(PA, DF, Rage): 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 17

Another 9 hp of damage (hardness 8) leaving it with 9.

Cirthana swings the cold iron longsword in an attempt to free the souls.

longsword: 1d1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

longsword damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

no apparent damage

Attack the chain again: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

3 to go

Cirthana drops her shield and swings the longsword with both hands.
"Hmmmph" attack roll is not necessary at this point
longsword damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
no damage

"UUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
Damage(PA, Rage): 1d8 + 6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 + 2 = 13

Reinar then drops down on his knees, panting.

"That was tiring..."
Rage over

The souls in every link of that 30ft chain are released.

Cirthana begins to move to Reinar and realizes she cannot help his issue. "Reinar you did good. Very good."

Reinar gives Cirthana a big smile.

"Couldn't have done it without your help.", he stands up, still breathing heavily. "I'm fine, we can move on."

"Aye, lets be takin' this Hammer and be along. More children ta be rescuin'." Rhen will pass the hammer over to Reinar

As you exit the tunnel Kerrdremak addresses Reinar "Future king, you entered with the battleaxe of Glintaxe, did you not? Did the forge spurned destroy it? The king has an even better battleaxe that will be your prize for his defeat. It is +1 and human bane. He calls it Manfeller."

"Thanks, I'll make good use of it.", he says to Rhen, inspecting the hammer.

As they exit the tunnel.
"Yes, we met the fake ghost earlier and i lost his axe fighting the forge spurned. I don't exactly know what you mean by +1 or human bane, but this Manfeller axe sounds like a nice trophy."

"Aye a new axe fer Reinar will be somethin' he be needin'"

Rhen will move back to the staging area, checking his arrow supply and wiping his weapons down.

Cirthana gets some trail rations and a silver pint sized chalice out of her backpack. She casts create water to fill the chalice and offers a meal to the kids. They are quite parched. She has to fill the chalice several times.

I don't know about you men, but I am in need of rest. It makes no sense to push forward being weakened and risking everyone. Kerrdremak, when is this sacrifice supposed to happen?"

"I would assume as soon as Jekkajak recalls the rite. Jekkajak is called by many 'He Who Forgets More Than You or He Knows.' He may have already recalled the rite, he may never recall it."

Yes Lady, I believe we have all earned a rest. We would do no good by getting ourselves killed.

Cirthana gathers up her soap, hairbrush, and perfume and leaves the room. She is gone for quite some time. When she returns she is soaking wet but clean and carrying the full plate. She wears a loose white shirt, brown pants and boots. She sets the plate against the wall to dry and dons her chain shirt. She works with Edgrin and the children to get them as comfortable as possible. "I will be glad to take watch at any time. I suppose you already have that worked out by now."

Day 5 the sun rises at 6:00. 12 days to full moon

"There are two bloodscale warriors mounted on slurks below. I wish to use diplomacy to get them to join me. We need a plan should that fail. The makeshift elevator will only hold 600 lbs. The shaft drops 30 feet down into a large, mostly square chamber."

"It is amazing what a little rest can do for you. I feel like I could take on anything." Edgrin helps Lady Cirthana into her armor.

"Be ye sendin' the children home or be they staying them them Kobolds" Rhen shudders a little at mentioning them "I will also be goin' down the elevator first with ye."

Rhen pulls out his sword and waits for the others

[b]I will volunteer myself to be f-f-first to descend on the elevator. If the bloodscale won't join us, Reinar and I can cut them down. W-w-Will you join me, prince Reinar?[b]

"We will be saving Hollin with you, Mr. Dwarf. We are no strangers to the warrens below. We got loose one time without your help. And we are not afraid of any kobold." She pats the dagger she wears on her waist.

"I suppose some of you could hide in the cauldron while I parley. I will need to know how much each of you weigh. We could get more down if I go first with some of my men and you are lowered while I take my time turning them to our side."

"I weigh 35 lbs and can inspire courage in my allies with song. A weapon would be nice."

"130. 200 with armor, shield and weapons."

"A Dwarves weight be solid and true, I be coming in about 220 lbs with all me gear and muscle." Rhen Winks at Lady Cirthana

Weight: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 x5 +100 = 125

No more than 150 with all my equipment.

"I will whisper when we are ready for you. Remember, 600 lbs. No more."

Kerrdremak takes the bloodscale and other kobolds down below. He leaves enough behind to operate the elevator.

Rhen gets a glowing smile.

Kerrdremak attempts to turn the bloodscales.

He starts with a bluff to make his diplomacy easier.

bluff: 1d20 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 5 = 11 +5 they want to believe this
sense motive kobold 1: 1d20 ⇒ 17
sense motive kobold 2: 1d20 ⇒ 1

diplomacy V DC 15 kobold 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
diplomacy V DC 05 kobold 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Conditions have changed as his partner has turned. He will retry diplomacy again.
diplomacy V DC 15 kobold 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Kerrdremak can feel the crown on his head.

"Zevon, you may peacefully enter. They have joined us. Order the remaining warriors to man the elevator until our return."

Eventually, you all are lowered.
