"אנחנו לא התקף שני לרגליים אם שני לרגליים לא לתקוף אותנו."

"They say they no attack two feets if two feets no attack them. They smart, no want to die. Not bad, just," Kereek tilts his head, trying to find the right word, "Grumpy?"

To the wyrms: "אתה לא דרקון, אבל אתה ממשיך מילה, כן? Kereek לתת לך מתנה. לשתות מים לגרום לך להרגיש טוב יותר. כואב לעשות טוב יותר." Kereek steps up slowly to them and places a potion of Cure Light Wounds on the ground between the wyrms and Kereek.

"מצטער על מת לא, הדרקון. גיבורים גדולים לא יודע לא, דרקונים חכם כמו הגמד הרע. המלח לא, דרקון יש שם?"

"I think this is a big mistake that is literally going to bite us later. When we begin settling this area, others are going to be using this ford and they won't know anything about the deal we've brokered with these creatures. They wil attack them and then we will have to come out here again and deal with the problem."

Prazil cautiously backs Fang away from the tatzlwyrms and watches nervously as Kereek approaches. His hammer, while lowered, is still gripped tightly in his little scaled hand and he seems ready to spring back into the fray should the tatzlwyrms prove aggressive toward his clutch-brother.

"Kereek be ambazz-a-bor to not-dragons. When sett-lers come, Kereek come first and make territory for not-dragons. Not-dragons smart like kobold. Maybe not-dragons be friends of Big Heroes?"

"Well, this could have turned out worse, I suppose. Having kobolds in the group isn't boring, I'll give you that."

"You can put up signs", Treshiell suggests to Orin. "געדענק אונדזער מעציע", she calls out to the wyrms then moves back to her horse.

Moving on, despite Orin's better instincts, you eventually make camp, settling down for the evening.

However, just two hours into your watch, Prazil suddenly hears rustling coming from the nearby underbrush!

Treshiell looks so different now! No wonder all the guys are hitting on her.

in draconic: "Treshiell! What am that sound?!" Prazil springs to his feet, his shield and hammer ready.

Treshiell rises to her feet and stands crouched with her back against the fire. "מיר האבן ניט הערן עפּעס", Treshiell replies and gives Orin a kick to wake him up.

If there is time
Treshiell chants an arcane rhyme into her closed fist which starts to glow from within. She opens her palm to reveal three orbs of light orbiting in a perfect circle. With a whisper the spheres shoot out into the darkness towards where Prazil pointed (assuming that Prazil indicates where he heard the noise from).

Treshiell looks so different now! No wonder all the guys are hitting on her.

I thought it was time for a change. The previous avatar was the best fit among those available at the time, but i always thought she looked abit to aggressive. This one is better because she still looks confident but alot calmer and slightly curious. Still not a perfect fit since i see more of the witch iconic Freyia when i envision her, but there aren't any good Freyia pics among the avatars at the moment :(

Feeling the kick, Orin rolls with the blow and comes to his feet with his sword in his hands. "What the ...?" he mutters as he looks around the campsite.

Prazil will start to approach the underbrush as Treshiell's lights float over toward it. He'll repeatedly bang his hammer against his shield as he does so, making lots of loud noise to perhaps both scare off whatever terrible foe lurks in the shrubbery as well as wake up the rest of the camp.

As Prazil approaches, three dragon-like forms -- that tatzlwyrms! -- leap out of hiding and attack. Two of the vicious sets of jaws clack off the kobold's armor, but one does manages to find the tender scales beneath it 6 hp damage. The tatzlwyrm grabs on, and a moment later breaths a cloud of poisonous vapor into Prazil's snout.

"אנחנו תוקפים שתי רגליים מה לתקוף אותנו!" one of them cries as it surges toward Orin, the other breaking off toward Treshiell. Their jaws close on the pair, though Orin 8 hp is able to avoid being grabbed like Treshiell. 7 hp

Initiatives
Agnar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Jon: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Kereek: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Orin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Prazil: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Treshiell: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Tatzlwyrms: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Note that Kereek, Jon and Agnar are still in their bedrolls, but can have been woken during the surprise round. The wyrms went first in initiative other than Agnar, so I had them do the surprise round and the Round 1 actions, and you'll all go now before they go again; hope that's OK.

Round #: 1
Initiative: 10
Hit points: 25/33
AC: 18 ; T: 12 ; FF: 16
Condition:

Orin moves to attack the creature holding Treshiell (taking an AoO if necessary).
Attack roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Well, that's Karmic balance for you.
"See, I told you that leaving them there was a bad idea."

Assuming the tatzlwyrm's cries and the ensuing melee are enough to wake us...

Round 1

Agnar stands up out of his bedroll, grabbing up his longspear, ready to go to Treshiell's aid.

Kereek, upon hearing the fracas, bolts awake. Seeing the tatzylwyrms, he shrieks "תולעים בוגדנית! עונשין שקרנים! ראוי הדרקון שם! עכשיו אתה ומטגנים!"

Kereek springs out of his sleeping nest and makes ready to cast doom upon the treacher worms!

Treshiell noooooooooooo!

Round 1, initiative 20
ac 11, touch 11, fleet-footed 10
fort +2, ref +2, will +5
cmd 12
hp 13/20
effects: grabbed

Treshiell let's out a loud shriek as the wyrm claws and grapples her, although it's more a shriek of anger than fear or pain. With all the strength she can muster, Treshiell strikes her attacker over the muzzle with both hands and channels her magic into the creature. The shriek transforms into a song consisting of a one sentance verse followed by a skew chorus.

Standard action to cast Misfortune hex on the tatzlwyrm attacking me, DC15 will save to resist the hex.
Use Cackle hex to prolong the Misfortune hex for one round (if the wyrm misses its save that is)

Coughing momentarily after the tatzlwyrm breathes in his face, Prazil shakes his head and exclaims, "משתעל שיעול שיעול! הנשימה מסריח!"

With a grunt and low growl in the back of his throat, Prazil tries to overpower his attacker and burst from the false dragon's grip.
Standard Action (break grapple): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 vs CMD

Round 1, Init 19
HP 23/23
AC 13, Touch 13, Flat 10 (Full Defensive +2, +1 Dex)
CMD 18 (20 vs. Disarm)
Fort +7, Reflex +5, Will +7

"What's going on?!" Jon yells from his tent as he jumps up and grabs his sword. As he steps out of the tent, he takes on a defensive posture as he takes in his surroundings (Perception 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9) and again finds himself in the all to familar position of being attacked while standing just outside his tent with nothing but sleepwear and a bastard sword.

These worms also make up a defining moment in Jon's life, as he most certainly will be turning in his PETA card.

Whoops again; just realized that the initiatives looked a little screwed up. If anyone noticed/is confused, it's because I saw what they were and then when I went back into do the wyrms' Round 1 actions, thus adding in more d20 attack rolls, obviously it changed the later initiative ones. I still get caught up sometimes with adding in rolls that mess up later rolls that I've already accounted for.

As Jon, Agnar and Kereek leap out of their bedrolls, their threatened friends fight for their lives.

Treshiell tries to deal with the creature attacking her on her own, her magic seeming to have little effect is the beast breathes a cloud of poisonous gas into her face. The witch reels a little as she suddenly feels weaker, her stomach roiling. 1 point Con damage; the hex actually did work, but since the wyrm succeeded on both rolls, I figure there's no visible effect; not sure if there's a way Treshiell would know whether the magic is effective or not...

Orin rushes to the witch's aid, ignoring a swipe from the creature attacking him, but can't hit, his bladework hampered by his efforts to avoid hitting the young woman entangled with the wyrm.

Prazil manages to get out from the clutches of the wyrm, fortunately feeling no effect of its potentially deadly breath.

The two remaining wyrms continue their attacks on Orin and Prazil, though neither is able to penetrate the fighters' armor.

Round 2:

Noting Orin's gotten to Treshiell, Agnar shifts his attention to the other wyrm. He rushes across the intervening ground, seeking to impale the creature on his spear. Charge attack, if there's enough distance to initialize the action.

Attack roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Round 2, Init 19
HP 23/23
AC 9, Touch 9, Flat 8 (Charge -2, +1 Dex)
CMD 18 (20 vs. Disarm)
Fort +7, Reflex +5, Will +7

Jon, more concerned with Treshiell's well being than his own, charges at the beast holding her, knowing full well that he'll be leaving himself vulnerable and not caring in the least.

"Vile beasts, I sentence you to death!"

1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Round 2 - Initiative 16

"!ניסיתי להגיד לך. ניסיתי. עכשיו אני דואגת לך אף פעם לא הזיק לאף אחד שוב" Prazil shouts loudly as he brings his hammer home to strike one of the tatzlwyrms.

Mwk Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

In a muttery voice "כן נכון Prazil, Kereek הלא נכון. פשוט להרוג את התולעים בוגד!"

Kereek moves to where he can catch as many worms in his cone of fire as he can without endangering his teammates. If he has to, he casts defensively: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 Bang on!

Burning Hands: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + 3 = 13 fire damage, DC 14 reflex save for half

Round #: 2
Initiative: 10
Hit points: 25/33
AC: 18 ; T: 12 ; FF: 16
Condition:
Reflex save (if neccesary): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Orin will shift positions so that he and Jon are on opposite sides of the dragons and swings a mighty overhand chop at the wyrm.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12

Wow, now is not the time to go cold. Oh well, it's just cosmic balance for one shotting the first tatzlwyrm. But, enough already!

1 point Con damage; the hex actually did work, but since the wyrm succeeded on both rolls, I figure there's no visible effect; not sure if there's a way Treshiell would know whether the magic is effective or not...

Makes the Cackle worth it though. Always something :)

Round 2, initiative 19
ac 11, touch 11, fleet-footed 10
fort +2, ref +2, will +5
cmd 12
hp 13/17
effects: 1 con damage, grappled

Treshiell starts to cough but still manages to keep her song going, now reaching the second verse. Going into some kind of rage she scratches wildly at the eyes of her attacker. Thaal matches his mistress ferocity striking repeatly with his fangs as he hangs coiled around Treshiell's arm.

Standard action to use Evil eye hex on the tatzlwyrm, lowering its AC with 2 for 7 rounds (will 15 save reduces the duration to one round)
Move action to continue to Cackle extending the duration of all hexes within 30 feet by round.

Orin charges toward the dragon-like creature fighting Orin, viciously impaling it on his spear as it cries out in pain. 11 hp damage

Treshiell continues to use her dark magic on the wyrm attacking her as Thaal tries to sink its fangs into the much larger reptile but can't seem to penetrate its hide. -2 AC

Jon rushes in to help free Treshiell, his blade cutting deep on the distracted beast, spraying green blood over himself, the witch and Orin. 9 hp

Prazil brings his hammer down on the dragon attacking him, slamming its head into the ground and stunning it momentarily. 7 hp The opening leaves an opportunity for Kereek, who doesn't want to risk singing his four bigger companions surrounding the other two wyrms, and he sprays fire toward it. However, it quickly regains its senses and ducks the worst of the blast. 6 hp damage

Seeing the new threat, the wyrm leaps toward the red-scaled kobold with a loud growl, but can't get its jaws around him. The beast attacking Orin is more successful, sinking its fangs deep into the ranger and then wrapping around him, holding him tight in its clutches. 5 hp damage, Orin is now grappled

The final wyrm continues its savage assault on Treshiell, gouging the young woman with vicious claws. Blood flows freely as it maintains its iron grip on the now badly injured witch. 12 hp damage

Treshiell, please roll for Thaal's attacks too (unless that was just color description). Sadly, he actually originally hit, but then I realized I needed to roll the Tatzlwyrm's save twice and it changed the rolls around. Oh well.

Round 3:

Kereek shrieks a wordless draconic roar in his slightly squeaky voice as the dragon attempts to attack him. He bares his teeth and hisses arcane syllables as the fire rises to his need again!

Burning Hands vs the Worm in front of him, angling it upward if he needs to avoid his comrades!

Cast defensively: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 3 = 8 fire and Reflex DC 14 for half

Round 3, Init 19
HP 23/23
AC 11, Touch 11, Flat 10 (+1 Dex)
CMD 18 (20 vs. Disarm)
Fort +7, Reflex +5, Will +7

"Treshiell!" Jon gasps as he notices her near fatal injury which forces him to pause his attack and sooth her bloody wounds.

Lay On Hands 1d6 ⇒ 5

Round 3 (Initiative 16)

Would the tatzlwyrm have provoked an AoO for disengaging from Prazil and going after Kereek? If so...

"!היי! אני כאן, טמבל! אני לא נעשה ריסוק לך בפטיש האדיר שלי" Prazil chases after the tatzlwyrm which has gone after Kereek intent on finishing what he started.

Mwk Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Round #: 3
Initiative: 10
Hit points: 20/33
AC: 18 ; T: 12 ; FF: 16
Condition: Grabbed

Orin grimaces in pain as the creatures claws rake his side as they close about him. Struggling against the vice like grip Orin attempts to break free before the tatzylwyrm can inflict more damage.
CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Dropping to the ground Orin rolls to his feet, facing this new threat.

Round 3, Initiative 21

As it appears he and the kobolds have the wyrm dead to rights, he'll stab again with the spear, hoping to make it just dead. "Die, you treacherous mud-bellied snake!"

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Hmm...nope, that won't do at all.

Treshiell, please roll for Thaal's attacks too (unless that was just color description). Sadly, he actually originally hit, but then I realized I needed to roll the Tatzlwyrm's save twice and it changed the rolls around. Oh well.

The Thaal section of my post was purely color, I never ment to have him attack :) I don't think he heas the reach for it anyway.

Round 2, initiative 19
ac 11, touch 11, fleet-footed 10
fort +2, ref +2, will +5
cmd 12
hp 13/17 (with Jon's healing added)
effects: 1 con damage

Blood pours out of Treshiell's mouth as she is raked by the wyrm. She struggles to retain her song her consciousness is wavering. Throwing her head backwards Treshiell strikes her forehead with her palm. A brief flash of light washes over the young girl's body and cakes most of the blood.

Move action to remain the Cackle
Standard action to use Healing hex on myself regaining 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 hit points.

As Agnar stabs fruitlessly at one of the wyrms, Orin manages to free himself and Treshiell and Jon heal the witch's wounds, much to the attacking tatzlwyrm's dismay: "לא לא לא לא לא לא!"

Prazil and Kereek have more success, as the dark-scaled kobold's warhammer again stuns the lizard before his clutchmate finishes the beast off with another gout of flame.

Apparently oblivious to their own injuries and their companion's demise, the remaining two tatzlwyrms press their attack.

One of them continues to rake at Treshiell, though one of its claws gets wrapped around a strap on on the witch's clothing, fouling its aim as it tries to tears itself of the encumbrance. 9 hp damage

The remaining wyrm continues to try to seek vengeance on Orin, but can't get through the half-elf's armor.

Round 3 (Initiative 16)
With a mighty "YIP!" Prazil wheels around and focuses his attention on the nearest tatzlwyrm.

Mwk Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Round 3, Initiative 21

With his opponent down, Agnar moves up behind Orin, attacking past him at the wyrm with his longspear. Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Round #: 4
Initiative: 10
Hit points: 20/33
AC: 18 ; T: 12 ; FF: 16
Condition:

Turning his back on the tatzlwyrm that grabbed him, Orin again focuses on the wyrm ravaging Treshiell, shouting in Elvish "Ní bheidh ort a! Ba mhaith liom bás in áit an chéad ansin lig a tharlaíonn.."

Attack roll: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7

Round 4, Init 19
HP 23/23
AC 12, Touch 12, Flat 10 (combat expertise +1/-1, +1 Dex)
CMD 19 (21 vs. Disarm)
Fort +7, Reflex +5, Will +7

Now that Treshiell is looking better, Jon turns his focus back to the worm biting her. "Now to deliver your sentence."

2-H Bastard Sword
ATT 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 1 = 20
DMG 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Round 3, Initiative 21

With his opponent down, Agnar moves up behind Orin, attacking past him at the wyrm with his longspear. Attack: 1d20+4 Damage: 1d8+4

Whoops. Yeah, round 4, not round 3.

Round 4:

Kereek lets out a loud WHOOP as the worm falls to the magic and hammer of the kobolds. He spins, seeing Treshiell and Orin menaced and hisses a syllable of arcana as he points at any remaining living worms.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 ranged touch, with -4 melee penalty
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2 acid

Whoops. Yeah, round 4, not round 3.

D'ah! My fault! I started the mis-numbering! =\

One of them continues to rake at Treshiell, though one of its claws gets wrapped around a strap on on the witch's clothing, fouling its aim as it tries to tears itself of the encumbrance. 9 hp damage

As a part time representative of the monster's union i'm going to have to stab myself in the back. If i'm not mistaken you loose your dex modifier to AC when you're grappled (and grappling), which should put Treshiell's AC at a 10 (i've forgotten to update that myself in my posts). So i think that all attacks hit and Treshiell is at -2.

Round 4, initiative 19
ac 10, touch 10, fleet-footed 10
fort +2, ref +2, will +5
cmd 12
hp -2/17
effects: 1 con damage, grappled

More blood spurts from Treshiell's mouth as the wyrm continues to rake her and she falls limply into its claws. Thaal slithers quickly up her arm to rest on the witch's neck and hisses angrily at the larger reptile.

Although if i'm wrong i'll use Evil eye hex to give the tatzylwrym a attack penalty as a standard action and then Cackle as a move action.

Yup, you're right, thanks, Treshiell. Appreciate it.

Agnar stabs the wyrm, drawing a spur of blood as it remains focused on the half-elf who killed its companion back at their nest. 5 hp damage

Thaal hisses angrily as Treshiell lies crumpled, though the little serpent doesn't have long to worry as Jon lays on hands. The healing energy knits her wounds closed, though she remains unconscious. 2 hp healing; Jon, I changed your action based on your comments about now that Treshiell was looking better. Also it looks like you get 2d6 healing with each use of the ability, though you wouldn't know it by the way I rolled.

Prazil also rushes to the witch's aid, slamming his warhammer on the tatzlwyrm that's nearly eviscerated her. 5 hp damage Seconds later, the other kobold strikes as well, Kereek's ball of acid splashing onto the draconic creature's scales with an angry hiss.

Orin, raging over the witch's fate, turns his back on his own enemy and slashes the other drake. A gout of blood flies though the creature seems to be ignoring its horrific wounds. 7 hp damage

The wyrms both focus on the half-elf now. One manages to slip in Treshiell's blood, though, throwing off its attack. The other sinks its fangs into Orin's leg, ripping horribly, though it loses its grip as it tries to scramble up and hold onto the ranger. 9 hp

That'll be my last post until I get back, I think. You'll probably finish them off this round, though -- they have 1 and 6 hp left, respectively; AC 15, Touch 12, so feel free to post actions and then RP what happens afterward assuming you do kill them, if you want (or wait until Treshiell and I return).

Round 5: Kereek sees Treshiell go limp and he shrieks in anger! He focuses his rage on one of the still living worms!

Acid splash: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

However, his anger clouds his aim and his glob of acid goes wild, striking and scorching a nearby tree.

Round 5 - Initiative 16

If neither Agnar nor Jon are able to fell the tatzlwyrm that felled Treshiell, Prazil takes a swing at the false-dragon! (If they've already dropped it, he turns his attention to the remaining one!)

Mwk warhammer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Round 5, Initiative 21

Agnar stabs at the wyrm again, hoping to take the rest of the fight out of it this time. Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Yeah! That'll do pig, that'll do.

Round #: 5
Initiative: 10
Hit points: 11/33
AC: 18 ; T: 12 ; FF: 16
Condition:

Orin, seeing Agnar fell the beast that wounded Treshiell, turns to face the last remaining wyrm. Raising his sword high for the killing blow his aim is fouled as he is wracked with pain as the beast claws his leg causing his blow to skitter harmlessly off the creatures scaled back.

Attack roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Round 5, Init 19
HP 23/23
AC 11, Touch 11, Flat 10 (+1 Dex)
CMD 18 (20 vs. Disarm)
Fort +7, Reflex +5, Will +7

Jon strikes out at the wyrm, hoping to end it, but his face is covered in so much of Treshiell's blood that his aim suffers.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

So did Agnar kill the healthy one and Prazil finish the wimpy 1 hp guy?

Looking up-thread it looks like Agnar was attacking the one that was attacking Orin, which would be the healthier of the two remaining tatzlwyrms. Which would leave the 1 hp one for Prazil to finish off.
