Utter Chaos. Screaming, dying and mostly running.
And Running. And more running.
Perhaps responding to the call for assistance in clearing out the newly found tunnels in the Terwa Uplands was not the best idea. As if anyone really thought that the dwarves were going to actually find a Sky Citadel!
All they had found was a lot of beasts and a slumbering Black Dragon, worshiped by a colony of Kobolds. A big one. Colony and Dragon. The smart folk ran, the dumb ones died.
3 hours of running and trying to hide while the dragon and it's legion of kobolds run amok over the country side. Who ever heard of a legion of Kobolds?!
These thoughts or those similar to them race through the heads of our heroes as they flee. People scattered in every direction, but where ever they seemed to go kobolds were popping out of fissures in the rock harassing and killing.
Our heroes are scatted fleeing down a rocky hill Difficult Terrain They are being pursued by bolds, dozens and dozens of them. Some break off to pursue other runners that broke off in a separate direction.
At the bottom of this particular hill there is a flat open area just before a cliff face, through that cliff face is a small 5 foot wending passage.
Espy Kismet |
"Kobolds! Why did it have to be kobolds!" Epsy exclaims as he rushes down the hill. He looks back and deftly moves to the side, barely missed by a rock. "This is ridiculous! Ah! There! Everyone hurry!" He bolts for the passage as fast as he can.
Impatiens Pallida |
Impy runs for the passageway, She will block the kobolds and allow the rest of the party to pass when she gets there. She yells
Lou Kasuri |
Lou runs dodging rocks and other hurled objects along the way. tripping over a root protruding from the ground his clay jug falling to the ground near him.
not noticeing it at fisrt Lou start to run some more but quickly turns back to grab his jug.
as he reaches for it a rock crashes to the ground by hishand then another and another. Lou dancing to avoid being hit flips and grabs his jug then continues on.
slipping past the warrior woman he pats her on the back as a sign of gratitude. and moves into the passage.
A typical Jackie Chan chase scene

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 init for kobolds. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 for impy
They will go then you will go.
The sling armed kobolds loose after closing to within 30 feet.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 The sling bullet slams into Impy's side
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 The sling bullet slams into impy's arm
Then the other two move to 5 feet away from Impy each like so
x I x
x x x
K x K
They are prepared to attack if impy moves close. can you put your HP in your profile so I can see it?
Grung Knife Tongue |
Plain ol Dex check
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Grung makes a mental note of the kobolds names and prepares to find a spot to ambush them with arrows....
He swears quietly to himself...
"Better than being chased by humans, because humans has horses."
Espy Kismet |
"They're circling around to the front of us, there are tunnels that will lead them there. The Tiefling will guard our passage on this side." He calls out waving his hand. Actually he has no idea what the tiefling say, he's just reading her body language.
Also moves to get into the tunnel.

Escape Artist 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Espy it is easier to put your spoken text into bold
Lou1d20 ⇒ 16
Espy and Lou both quickly squeeze through the fissure. Coming out into another clearing about 40 feet across in all directions, with another fissure at the far end. They can also see two tunnels at either end, small enough for a kobold to get through.
Grung will get through one round later.
Impatiens Pallida |
Done.
Impy is enraged (free action). She will hold her action until one of two things happens. If everyone has passed her, then she will act by attacking (5 step diagonally and full attack) the kobold on her right. If one or both of the kobolds steps into range, she will smite the first one to enter her area of attack with a mighty blow as a reward for their pluck and daring.
I just realized I'm posting too fast. My apologies. This action should occur after everyone else has gone.
MiniGM |
It's ok Impy both you and they are separate now. Also can you note your damage as well...something like HP 587/875. You took 7 I believe
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 for 1d3 ⇒ 2 but it flies wide.
you can make you attack on it now.
Impatiens Pallida |
I messed up the stats. I'm using Herolabs to do all the calculations but forgot to tell the program I'm actually wearing my armour. It's my mistake, so I'll live (or die) with the damage. I've added the stats as requested. The ones in parentheses are applicable when Impy is enraged (AC goes down, HP goes up).
Impy attempts to whack a kobold 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14
MiniGM |
more tomorrow!
Impy chops the kobold in half. The second facing him, turns and flees, while the other two snarl and loose their sling stones again.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 it catches Impy in the side of the head
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 It clatters off the wall
Impatiens Pallida |
Impy curses in Infernal:
She then turns and runs back either forty feet (full move) or to where the line of sight for the entrance is blocked and the slingers will not get a clear shot. She wants to force them to either guard the entrance (remain where they are) or enter melee.
MiniGM |
A kobold charges out of the tunnel taking a hard hit to the side from the morning star, it staggers but continues to move. Only to have the whip of Espy snap out at him.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
The kobold drops.
2d20 ⇒ (19, 6) = 25
Nothing happens.
Espy make a DC 15 Escape artist check Also not this means you have to stop Raging to use Escape Artist, I believe
MiniGM |
Espy moves into the fissure and moves around a bend.
Lou and Grung have actions to make
Impy if you stop raging you will become staggered, but you cant escape artist without doing that. If you fail that check you will still be able to be targeted though you will have cover. Though they can follow you without squeezing.
Lou Kasuri |
took all afternoon to finally load the site
After ensureing that the smaller opening is secure of following kobolds Lou starts to make his way into the fissure
after several curses
Blasted fissures how the heck did I ever get into this mess
Escape Artist check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
MiniGM |
All please put spoken text in Bold, easier to read and is the standard on the forums
Perception for lou 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
IMPY dont forget you are fatigued for one round. Also drawing and drinking the potion is your entire round. But you can keep the success of the Escape Artist next round
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 the sling stone slams into the wall near Impy.
1d100 ⇒ 61The other Kobold looks at the Greatsword and the newly healed Impy and fless after his companion.
Impatiens Pallida |
Impatiens is a little out of it as her anger departs. She blinks a bit, looks around, catches her breath, then inhales sharply and squeezes between the walls.
Once clear of the tight spot, she hastens to rejoin her party.
MiniGM |
1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 4 = 6 fpr 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
It seems Impy is being followed. judging by the clatter of a sling stone behind him.
Impy pops out in time to see a human and hobgoblin being to squeeze into a fissure on the other side of a clearing, and another human stanind peering into a tunnel.
Lou Kasuri |
peering down the side tunnel Lou is attempting to assertain if tehre is more than one.
weather there is only one or not he only spends a few seconds then head to the fissure where everyone else is heading
assuming he will find "Impy" At least anotherone down that way, maybe more
Lou then will squeeze through to catch up with the rest of the group.
escape artist to squeeze: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Impatiens Pallida |
If there is room to get out of the pursuers line of sight, then Impy will do so. If not, then she grabs as much cover as possible. Either way, she'll try to squeeze through behind the guys.
1d20 ⇒ 20
Once again, the site semi crashed when I was writing. Perhaps the gods don't like Impy swearing? Anyhow, the die roll was for squeezing through the cevice
MiniGM |
Impy you are a little bit behind, so you might want to alter your second action...one move to the far end of the clearing. See what happens and let me know if you want to move into the fissure, you can keep that roll
Lou squeezes into the fissure. As he does the kobold pops out of the tunnel and moves to about 30 feet behind lou and fires its bow.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 vs FF for 1d4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) = 7 The arrow shatters on the stone wall.
Impy stands in the center of the clearing a little further In front there is the kobold firing a bow at a human squiched into the fissure.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Another sling stone rebounds off of Impy's armor.
Impatiens Pallida |
In that case, Impy will patiently wait, sword at the ready. While she is waiting, she will menace the kobold with the sling.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 1 = 16
She also growls menacingly: Grrr
Lou Kasuri |
As lou is struggling to squeeze through the fissure he can hear the arrow clang against the rock. glancing back he sees sword wielding woman seemingly on her own.
How do I get into these messes?
Where is my sister when you need her she would probably bite the thing's ear off
Not wanting the woman to face the kobolds alone Lou comes back into the clearing to charge the bow weilding kobold.
charge attack the bow weilding goblin combat expertise
charging attack roll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
if a hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ac for this round: 14 (15 base, -2 charge, +1 combat expertise)
MiniGM |
Actually since you were squeezing I wont let you charge. However, you still hit, so your AC is actually even higher.
Lou wiggles and squirms and squirts out of the fissure like nasty out of a zit. blarg! sorry
He cruises over to the kobold and slams the heel of his hand into the kobolds face, breaking a tooth.
