End of Round
As Nivla starts to make the jump, a dart comes flying at him as he feels a pressure plate move under his foot.
The dart strikes him in the neck.
Nivla needs to make a Fortitude Save.
Nivla's rapier strikes true, and the point of the weapon pierces the Kobold's shoulder as it cries out in pain.
Next In Initiative: Boris and Alistair
Boris casts a spell and the kobold stands there, unable to act.

Holly double moves.
Telandria Fires at the remaining kobold and shoots wide as she's too careful not to hit Nivla.
Next In Initiative: Calypso, Boris, Alistair
Calypso flings her hair at the kobold, but the kobold easily side-steps the attack.
Next In Initiative: Nivla, Boris, and Alistair
Boris stares, and Alistair hits for 3 points of damage, slaying the creature. All is quiet.
You find the trap that was already sprung, and that's the only trap found. As a matter of fact outside of a couple small slings and a couple small spears found on the kobolds, there's nothing of interest in this room. Unless there's something else you'd like to do before moving on, the party moves through the passage to the north.
Upon hearing the sounds of battle and the realization that Janira hasn't lost the Minotaur, the group winds through the tunnels with urgency. Now the sounds of battle are much clearer. You can hear Janira, "As the legendary Gregaro Voth successfully battled the wild beasts in the deepest reaches of the Mwangi Expanse, so shall I defeat you, foul servant of Lamashtu!"
As you start to make your way faster through the tunnel, Holly shouts out to stop everyone and points out a Medium-sized ooze with bits of broken weapons, coins, and a partially digested skeleton right your path.
From outside you can hear Janira, and are under the influence of Inspire Courage (+1 Weapon Attack/Damage and +1 Saves vs. Fear)

Double Move to where?
Note to all: The side tunnels are narrow, medium creatures will be squeezing through them.

"Ew, gross. If we can lead it into the side tunnels, I think we can then circle around that ooze. I don't think anyone should get too close to it. Let me see if I can lure it into the tunnel up ahead to our right." and Holly moves into the right hand tunnel between her and the ooze.
As an after thought, Holly shouts to Alistair, "What hurts these Jelly Cubes?"
Both Nivla and Telandria strike at the ooze, and hit. It moves forward, attacking the closest creature to it, Boris.
Boris can take an AoO if he's got his dagger in hand.
@Boris:
Boris must make a FORT Save DC 18 or be Paralyzed.

Does Holly realize Boris is paralyzed? If so, visions of Boris being slowly digested by the ooze race through Holly's mind, Not if I can help it. thinks Holly and she steps up 5', grabs Boris and pulls him into her square. With a Str 9 and 3/4 capacity for being small, I think Holly can drag about 330. Hopefully Boris doesn't exceed this amount. If necessary, Holly can move 10' into Boris's square and then drag him. Intent is to get as much distance between Boris and the Jelly Cube.
"Boris is paralyzed.", shouts Holly. "Keep the Jelly-thing distracted, if it has a mind to distract, that is. If anyone has oil flasks, fire might hurt it. Does fire hurt it, Alistair?"
If you want to make it interesting, can try the combat maneuver Drag with CMB vs CMD.
in case you want it.
As the ooze moves and paralyzes Boris, he hits the Ooze with his AoO (and needs to roll damage)
Boris is paralyzed for
Calypso and Alistair both hit the creature as well on their attacks.
Holly moves up and pulls Boris back 10' (Half movement; no CMB required as Boris is helpless)
Next in Initiative: Nivla, Telandria
@Alistair: It's hard to tell how well off it is as it is just an ooze, but you know it's taken a fair amount of damage thus far.
Boris is still able to stare at the ooze giving an extra point of damage to Nivla's attack. As Nivla throws a spear and strikes the creature.
Telandria fires another arrow at the ooze.
As the arrow strikes the creature, it disipates into a motionless blob; all is quiet except for the battle going on outside.
Just a clarification of "What are you doing next?": Are you waiting for Boris to become unparalyzed to continue down the hall, or are you going on without him?
|
I'll carry Borris out, it'll take us longer to get there, so everyone else Hurry to assist Janira.
Nivla will firemen carry Borris out, but if we(meaning borris and i)get to the exit before he is unparalized we won't go out side... Or if the battle is taking place in the tunnels we will hang back untill Borris is free.

I wonder what that stuff is inside the Jelly Cube. I wonder if I can get Alistair to dig into the gross blob. thinks Holly. "Is that gold I see inside Mr. Jelly? Janira can't still be fighting the minotaur, can she?" Holly asks. "Hey Janira, we are down here and will be heading your way soon. Everyone is safe." shouts Holly in Janira's direction. Did we hear the sound of battle coming from Janira's direction? I thought she was helping us with the inspired courage, not that she was under attack. If there is the sound of battle then wouldn't bother with treasure and would head towards Janira.
As Nivla runs over to hoist Boris on his shoulder, the rest of the group runs down the hall.
You run 40' down the cavern to the opening ahead:
The light of the surface world above provides a welcome reprieve from the blue and green fungus of the caverns below, and light illuminates a stream whose water is hastened by runoff from a recent storm further up the mountains. A ledge to the west rises up to the nearby forest canopy.
The area is lit by the full moon above, which provides plenty of light for even humans to see in the open area. The water in the stream is moving at a decent speed, so would require a Swim check to cross. There is a 3' wide tree trunk providing a make-shift bridge to cross the stream. Doing so takes an Acrobatics check, DC 7 to move across at half speed. The slope to the West is 20' higher than the area below (a good spot for any ranged attacks; probably with the exception of spells with a range of Close).
About 100' from the cave entrance is Janira locked in battle with the relentless minotaur. Janira is obviously hurt and tired, but still full of resilience as she shouts at the beast, "You vile beast! I know not what drives your black heart, but I shall not fail in my duty. I shall see you driven from this forest, back to the hills from whence you came!”
You are still under the effects of Inspire Courage (+1 Attack/Damage, +1 vs. Fear)
Janira takes a 5' step back and attempts to disarm the Minotaur with her whip. . .
. . .and fails.
