"Ouch!" Lukas cries out, "Here we go again with these guys." He slips his sling off his belt and says, "Let's take care of the ones nearest the door, in case we have to get out of here in a hurry."

Move action to draw sling.

DMBS - is climbing up the ledges a DC 10 check?

DC 15 Climb check to get on the ledges.

Jalthan starts inspiring his companions with tales of the unexpected.

Inspire Courage is up! +1 competence bonus to attack and damage rolls, +1 morale bonus to saves against fear and charm.

Celes, curses as she takes a rock to the head.

Am I able to free action: drop axe, move action: draw longbow and arrow at same time, standard action: fire arrow

If yes:

Celes, drops her axe and draws her longbow and an arrow with one fluid motion. She takes aim, at the closest kobold and lets an arrow fly.

targeting purple: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 161d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

If no:

Cels, drops her axe, and grabs a spear from her back. She takes careful aim and throws it at the kobold.

using same attack roll if possible.

spear damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Celes as this is the surprise (one standard action only) round that likely isn't gonna work out. Jebediah casts color spray targeting orange and red.

Jebediah, like his companions is caught by suprise, but has another blast of colorful energy in store for the Kobolds.

@Celes: You could do either, if you had some way to perform a standard and a move in the surprise round. As it stands, you can only draw a weapon.

@Jebidiah: Next time, please list the Save Type/DC for spells.

Lukas and Celes draw ranged weapons as Jalthan inspires his comrades. Jebidiah seizes the opportunity to try and knock out two kobolds with Color Spray.

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Surprisingly, Jebidiah's color spray is significantly less effective as it does nothing by incite them to more violence and draws the ire of those two slingers.

"Die intrudersssss! Halfling sssshtew for sssshupper!" one of them yells.

Celes and Jalthan are each beaned on the noggin by errant rocks, much to the delight of the kobolds.

surprise round I will drop ace and just draw the bow. For round one I will fire said bow. Can I use my previous rolls?

Lukas spins up his sling and lets a stone fly at the nearest kobold.

Sling, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25 at red
Sling damage, Inspired: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Falzeal takes a step back, grabs his crossbow, and fires at the eastern kobolds.

Attack vs Orange: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4 or Red if he is still standing.
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

Falzeal trips over Jalthan's foot and the bolt hits the ceiling!

Falzeal launches a bolt at the nearest kobold, however his mishap causes the bolt to go wide and embed itself in the ceiling.

Lukas and Celes have better luck as they each fell a kobold with their ranged attacks.

Jalthan maintains his many encouragements, and shoots an arrow at the orange-scaled kobold.
Mwk Shortbow, PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 101d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Inspire Courage is up! +1 competence bonus to attack and damage rolls, +1 morale bonus to saves against fear and charm.

Jebediah pulls out a dagger and chucks it at the orange kobold.

Attack orange 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 damage1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Jalthan fires off his shortbow, however the arrow thuds into the rocks behind his target. Jebidiah follows up with a dagger, catching the reptile in the shoulder causing him to hiss out in pain.

"Kill dessssssse intrudersssssh!" yells one of the kobolds in the rear.

A volley of rocks flies at the surrounded Bold Striders, two rocks catch Jalthan square in the chest as Jebidiah suffers two more blows to the head. Lukas and Celes are able to dodge the rock that come near them, however.

Initiative:
1st: Jalthan @ 5/15
2nd: Kobolds (#2-Orange @ 2; #3-Yellow; #4-Green; #5-Blue; #7-Black; #8-Pink)
3rd: Celes @ 11/25; Lukas @ 13/16; Jebidiah @ 6/17; Falzeal @ 11/14

Glad to have dodged the kobolds' attacks this time, Lukas sends another sling stone hurtling at the nearest one.

Sling, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22 vs orange
Sling damage, Inspired: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Celes, moves to the side as the rock crashes on the ground. She grabs another javelin, takes aim and lets it fly at the closest kobold. 1 left

javelin @ green: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Falzeal reloads and fires at the western kobold, again!

Attack vs Orange: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Jebediah has one more dagger which he againchucks at the next best Kobold.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 damage 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Isn't there a soft cover penalty?

Jalthan takes a step aside, pulls out a potion out of his belt pouch, and drinks it.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Oh, really...

Meanwhile, he continues to inspire his companions!

Put arrows up and none of them go through anyone else. What were you thinking Jalthan?

Lukas beans the same kobold once more, but he stands firm!

Celes' javelin falls into the ground, her technique leaves a bit to be desired.

Falzeal puts a bolt in a kobold's chest, killing him on the spot, while Jebidiah's dagger just catches one of the kobolds with its pommel, barely hurting him.

Dagger Critical: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Confirming for Jeb

Jalthan moves a bit and heals himself, though only barely.

The remaining five kobolds launch another salvo of rocks at the Pathfinders, however their luck seems to have run out!

GM: I was at 5/15, so healing 2 hp would bring me to 7 hp, not 6.

Jalthan continues to inspire his companions, and starts casting a spell.

Casting sleep, Will DC 14, at pink and black kobolds.

@Jalthan: There is just something with your health that just throws me off. Lithrac magic, it seems.

Yeah, apparently! ;)

Fueled by Jalthan's inspiration, Lukas takes a step deeper into the cavern and spins his sling up again, whirling it especially fast. He lets go with a fierce exhalation, but the sling stone travels almost straight up, smashing into the stone ceiling and showering Lukas and Celes with tiny fragments of rock.

Sling, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7
Sling damage, Inspired: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Celes grabs her last javelin and throws it at the kobold nearest her. Despite the falling rocks produced by an errant bullet, the javelin strikes the kobold in the shoulder. Green)

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

I just realized something, since when did a small sling bullet do d4 damage instead of d3?

Slight buff since the module was designed for four players instead of five.

Crossbow! vs Black: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Falzeal reloads and fires another bolt, aiming for the kobold wearing the black sash!

JEbediah moves forward and summons forth another large blast of colorful energy to absorb the kbolds.

Color spary targeting pink and blank DC15 WIL save

Either way...

Falzeal shoots another bolt, piercing the heart of the black-sashed kobold, sending him to the Boneyard well before old age.

Jebidiah and Jalthan incapacitate the pink-eyed kobold, knocking him unconscious on his platform.

The three remaining kobolds seem to get angrier as their brethren fall. They launch more rocks at you!

Sling @ Jebidiah-17 AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Sling @ Lukas-17 AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Sling @ Celes-18 AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Celes catches a rock in her knee, causing her legs to wobble as Jebidiah and Lukas leap out of the way at rocks flying their direction.

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Celes growls as she takes another sling bullet to her kneecap. [i]Oh, if they were down here![i], she thinks momentarily. She grabs a spear, and hurls it at her enemy.

spear 1 of 3 at green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Could you even hit them if they were down here? ;-)

Falzeal had a "5" on that last attack.

Fazeal reloads and fires again, aiming at the nearest kobold. "I'm becoming a crossbow master!"

Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 15
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Jalthan's Sleep spell would have taken care of it anyway. :D Trying to make you seem more awesome, Tek! ;-)

Tek fells another kobold with his brilliant crossbowery!

Jeb, I was already casting sleep at those two...

Seeing that the fight is almost won, Jalthan ceases to inspire his companions and comes nearer to the norther kobolds, and takes a shot at the green-scaled one.
Mwk Shortbow, PBS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 71d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Lukas flings another sling stone, this one at the lone kobold still standing on the far side of the room. Like most of his shots in this unpleasant place, his attack is well-aimed but weak.

Sling, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23 At blue
Sling damage, Inspired: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

I think I'll still get Inspire Courage, since I went before Jalthan stopped it, but if not, not.

probably not lol

Celes throws another spear at the small scaly bastards.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Yeah overread that part...CLW on slef 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Jebediah fearing for his own livlihood patches up some of his wounds.

Jebidiah heals himself slightly as the rest of the party launches a salvo of attacks. Celes and Lukas take down one of the remaining kobolds, leaving only a single kobold behind.

He launches a rock at the human, however the rock swings back around and clobbers him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

Sling @ Lukas-17 AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Where to?

Status:
Jalthan @ 7/15; Celes @ 9/25; Lukas @ 13/16; Jebidiah @ 11/17; Falzeal @ 11/14

"Wow, I sure hope that was most - or all - of their guards!" Lukas says. "They beat us up pretty good, especially Jalthan and Celes. You guys want to get healed up a bit, then maybe we got back and check out the other fork in the tunnel we came in through, so we don't miss anything?"

"What an epic battle! Ow.. I had no idea adventuring was so painful." realizes Jalthan as he complains about his many bruises. "Is anyone able to provide magical healing?"

Jebediah shakes his head having expended all his magical energy for the day.

I fear I am of little use in this endeavor... The halfling mutters regretfully.

Waiting on some indication of progress.

Since we still don't have a wand of CLW, we need to choose: go back and rest and heal again or risk pushing ahead. I'm not badly wounded, so I'm okay with pushing on, but others have been hit pretty hard.

Celes will grab her various thrown weaponry, then check the scaly bastards for anything of interest. She takes a vial, uncorks it and throws the contents down in one swift swallow.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"I don't mind pushing forward but I think I'll stay behind, it's such an appropriate place to get inspiration and a little... hindsight on our ongoing tale. Walk on, brave warriors!"

I will join you if you choose to push forward but I will be of little use

If jebediah had a ranged weapon he could at least do some damage but as is he's spent

Seeing you have a 6 strength, I would say a sling from a dead kobold body, but you would be doing 1 damage on a hit...so your call really

Which way?

Back to the fork in the first entrance tunnel, going right where we went left the first time. I moved Lukas to the spot I have in mind.

So folks wanna push on?

Yes, push on indeed. I've moved Lukas to where I think we should go next. I think Tek (Falzeal) has been having computer issues, not sure what's up with the other players.
