Crown of the Kobold King (Inactive)

Game Master Seldlon the Swift

Your efforts are appreciated wise Kerrdremak. With your aid, I feel certain that bloodshed between our people can be minimized. Now that we are in the actual warrens I feel certain traps await us. How will we ensure safe passage and put an end to those who vex us both?

Zevon will take a look around to assess his surroundings.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

A doorway opens in one wall, while two other walls have been broken through from the outside. Cramped, narrow tunnels beckon from beyond the breached walls.

"I will show you the best route, Zevon. We will avoid the traps but there is no way to avoid all kobolds along any route. Hopefully I can turn them to my side."

"Aye or I will be killin' em" Rhen says with a straigth face

An arrow awaits any k-k-kobold that threatens our party, king kerrdrem-whatever

"The next chamber is a mining operation. Lekmek will be working a gaggle of slaves. Should he refuse to turn, I will block his escape. This way."

diplomacy v DC10: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 punishment factor could go either way now

Kerrdremak whisper to Zevon. "Let us proceed. Next is the kennel. Kapmek, the Honored Slurk Wrangler of the Truescale tribe. His slurks can be troublesome."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

"Send in them slaves that we be rescuin' prior to be talkin' with the slave here. Ye could win em over fasta that way." Rhen moves into any available shadow.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"And finally, the den. We are getting close to the throne. There are two Bloodscales and 12 warriors here."

diplomacy v dc15 warrior 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
diplomacy v dc15 warrior 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Kerrdremak whispers. "Zevon, Your assistance is required."

Surprise Round
you may move into position or take a standard action.
Rhen, Reinar, Zevon, Bulgard, Cirthana <-----------------

Rhen will draw his bow and fire at Red.

Short Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d6 ⇒ 2
confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 92d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

"Get em dragon runts!"

It seems bloodshed is inevitable. Who would have thought that this rescue mission would result in a political coup? Strike swiftly so that others may know we are not to be crossed. I have another surprise in store if I can catch a bunch in front of me, perhaps those to the left. Now go friends, for the Hollow!

Reinar has been distracted daydreaming about Cirthana for the last few minutes, but the possibility of fighting brings him back to present.

"I'm not very good at holding back, hope you don't mind me killing some of your future subjects." he says to Kerrdremak, taking the lead of the group, forge spurned's hammer in hand.

Zevon strides forward, now yelling to his companions.

We have the beasts now! Let us show them what their poor judgement has cost them. T'was a great enough error to steal our young for their unholy rites, but to deny an offer of truce! They have decided their fate by siding with a fool king. They have chosen death!

Zevon stops as he spits the last word. He flings an arm outward and the final syllable seems to crystallize in the air, striking the kobolds before him.

Chord of Shards; 15' cone-shaped burst; Reflex Negates; During your bardic performance, you can strike a chord whose notes transform into a shower of razor sharp, crystalline shards. The shards deal 2d6 points of piercing damage to all creatures caught in the area of effect.
I should at least get Green and Yellow Square and Bloodscale Red. Looks like Red and Black Square are just outside the cone.

End Initiative
You may reposition for Grugakrug's entrance.

Zevon 14/20 Rhen 19/21 Reinar 22/28 (poisoned?)

Two dark talon hunters enter the room. Grugakrug, a tall kobold is mounted on a slurk directly behind them. They stop as they see the unexpected scene.

"He will let us pass. It is cramped quarters here on out. I suggest you human warriors enter first. I will be right behind you with support should you need it. First you will encounter the throne room. Past that is the king's quarters. Please do not harm my beautiful new queen. Beyond that is the sacrifice chamber."

"Uses the poisions I find you, Buggered Muhkin."

Fortitude vs Poison: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Cirthana raises her visor. Smiling, she says "You fight impressively, Reinar Rolstad. When you are on your feet."

"I'm still just a fresh warrior with little experience, I'll have to improve a lot more before i can become a Linnorm King. But thanks."

Rhen takes a look at the poison, "Can ye be applyin' em to me blade?" Rhen holds up his short sword.

Cirthana searches the bloodscales and returns with 8 vials. She hands four of them to Rhen, one to Reinar, and two to Bulgard keeping one for herself. "Please be careful when applying that. Should you manage poison yourself, I do have the means restore any damage."

Small Centipede Poison Save Fortitude DC 11, Frequency 1/round for 4 rounds, Effect 1 Dex damage; Cure 1 save

"Thank ye Lass, I will be takin' care ta not poison meself an only the enemy" Rhen smiles as he takes the vials.

Do you want us to roll for using it? I am going to have to look up the rules

Applying the poison you have a %5 chance of poisoning yourself on each application. When you attack with it rolling a 1 will poison you. Poison stacks.

Cirthana applies her poison to the blade of her longsword.
1d100 ⇒ 93

"Perhaps I should give you a proper introduction followed by burning hands. He does expect me to report back with my findings on the upper level. "

poison use: 1d100 ⇒ 15 damn that was close

Rhen applies shakily the poison to his blade, looking at Kerrdremak "Ye think yer old boss will be lettin' ye just waltz up there an be talkin' ta him with us in toe?"
