Squeezing rules given that moving deeper into the cave requires squeezing for the Medium Sized people.
Basically, half-movement, -4 Attack and AC.
The raven, having more sense than his mistress, lets out a low ehk... ehk... ehhhhkk! and launches itself onto then into the hag's pack, using the witch for cover.
Lineera shifts to having her shield in front of her, and ducks down and begins moving through the small passage. Commanding Munchkin as she squeezes through, she calls ahead. "Attack them, make sure they can't fire!" The instruction is probably too complex for the kobold, but it understands the first part at least, as it shambles into the darkness with its now typical zeal.
As she squeezes through the gap, Lineera gasps as her head suddenly twists to her right. "On the right, more of them!" Turning to the right, the drow then storms off into the dark with almost uncomfortable level of litheness and speed, given that anyone else can barely make out where she's even putting her feet.
Munchkin, not being all that bright, moves forward to get into attack position to attack the tiny bird on top of the ballistrade that's slamming it's rotting head into a bell.
Lineera moves forward, toward the second ballistrade, again a small rotting crow is slamming it's head over and over again into a bell. Behind it, the zombie that was waiting for a target goes into action, firing at Lineera.
The bolt misses by a wide margin.
'NOW!'
As soon as Lineera and her undead minion make their move, Elena jumps from her spot and follows them into the cavern, forced to proceed almost on hands and knees due to the very low ceiling.
When she hears Lineera's warning, she turns briefly, but sees only darkness. "What? How many? Where are they? I can't see!"
'Curse this place! I can barely see in front of me... Either Mahb brings the light closer, or I'll have to create my own!'
Lineera can see to the south a tiny passage that looks way too small for her to pass by. . She can just make out with darkvision what looks like stacked up crates to the south beyond the passage, blocking further view.
To the east, a larger chamber opens up, and Lineera nad Elena can make out that it seems to be lit, although the light doesn't reach far down the passage.
Eva moved into the cave, and eyed the balustrade. She weighed the pros and cons of throwing a bomb at them. She was limited in number and decided against it, to save them for bigger things. She also didn't want to risk hitting her friends.
The zombie behind the southern balustrade fires at Lineera, and just misses her as the bolt scrapes off her armor and zips past Elena's arm.
Order : Elena, South CKZ, East CZ, Eva, East CKZ Zombie, Lineera, Mahb, South CZ zombie
Elena Up
'I still can't see anything! We need another light source...'
Elena speaks a few words, and her weapon starts glowing in the dark, illuminating the small cave.
Finally able to see their foes, Elena advances toward the balustrades, her mind set on opening a passage to reach the enemies.
The southern crossbow zombie fires at Lineera again (her being directly in it's line of fire still).
There is a THUMP as the crossbow bolt slams into balustrade from the other side.
The crow on the eastern balustrade stops slamming it's head into the bell for a moment.
It then rapidly slams it's head into a different bell.
BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG
Eva is up next.
Eva didn't like that bell ringing crow that sat on the Balustrade in front of her. She reached in her bag pulling out an alchemist fire, and threw it at the crow.
The poor undead crow explodes into flames, continuing to slam it's head into the bell randomly as it burns.
The balustrade burns and takes damage (6 hp, vuln to fire, no hardness). The balustrade makes a save.
The balustrade will take another point of damage next round as the fire dies down.
Munchkin also bursts into flames, taking 4 pts of damage. Being old, dry rotted, and covered with dry rotted leather, Munchkin is a Flammable Object.
Munchkin also takes another point of damage next round (if not put out).
The eastern zombie fires at Lineera, as she's the easier to hit.
A bolt slams into Lineera, taking her in the kidneys from the side. The drow stumbles as the bolt rips through her kidneys and buries itself in deep inside her body.
The extremely injured Lineera, and the ancient Mahb up next.
The zombie that shot Lineera takes splash damage as well.
Staggering and letting out a cry of pain as the bolt pierces her armour, the drow crumples to the ground.
With her breathing ragged, Lineera raises a hand towards Munchkin, mumbling. Munchkin on the other hand, doesn't seem to notice or mind being on fire, and begins attempting to scale the balustrade.
The hunched hag struggles forward, approaching the downed drow, shedding light.
The southern crow zombie looks around, and hits his head on the larger bell.
BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG
Mahb, shining her light down the southern tunnel, can just make out (over the balustrade) a tiny fissure in the rocks that would be very hard to pass, and beyond that some wooden structure that could be a crate of some kind, or another balustrade.
Order : Elena, Eva, Mahb, East CKZ, Lineera, South CKZ, South CZ
Elena, Eva, and Mahb up.
"Lineera!" - Elena's eyes widen in shock as the drow is grievously wounded and falls to the ground, but after no more than a fleeting moment, she springs into action.
Elena rushes to her friend's side, takes a firm hold of the bolts stuck in Lineera's wound and unceremoniously yanks it out, then puts both hands to the sides of the wound and channels her power into a healing wave.
"Don't you dare to try and die on me! We are all leaving this place in one piece! Come on, get up, we've still got some undead to destroy!"
Eva pulled out another Alchemist Fire and moved to position herself to take out that other crow.
Mahb casts Guidence on Elena
The southern zombie fires at Elena.
The bolt drives it's way directly into Elena's guts.
Order : Elena, South CZK, Mahb, Eva, East CKZ, Lineera, South CKZ
Elena Up
"Ahh!" - Elena cries in pain when the bolts pierces her flesh - "Cursed abominations..."
Grinding her teeth, she spins around and raises her spear - "This has gone on long enough!" - and with a mighty thrust she projects her weapon forward to pierce the undead kobold right through the balustrade arrow slit.
Lineera hands ferally paw at the wound in her side as the arrow's ripped out of her, forcing Elena to push them aside before the healing can begin. Once the wound is closed, Lineera weakly offers her thanks, and calls to Munchkin. "Munchkin! Roll on the ground!" As the undead kobold rolls around on the ground, unknowingly putting out the fire, Lineera crawls across the ground towards him, and adds a magical touch to the proceedings.
I didn't skip her, she said she was just going prone for the round. I try really hard not to skip people. I have no problem with her retconning however to going prone and holding.
I assume Lineera went after the southern one, she didn't say, but she's not really in a great position for the eastern one.
Mahb and Eva up next.
Eva, seeing her opening took it. She threw an alchemist fire at the Southern Crow Zombie.
Eva's flask misses the crow, as it's small size gives it a better touch AC than the big ones.
Not that it matters much, the splash damage from the flask, as it breaks open on the balustrade sends the crow up in flames, it's head falling off and rolling over to Eva, little eyes flaming as it stares up at her and it's beak caws silently.
Mahb hobbles to side and mutters a dark invocation. Black flames pour from her gnarled hands, splashing across the balustrade and the remaining kobold.
We're out of combat, but please pretend you're kind of limited by combat. IE: Don't move more than a full action at a time if you move. I need to be able to respond if you hit a trap, or whatever.
"South or East? I'll climb over and get the door for you." Eva offered, knowing she could move easier than her friends could.
The hag waves her lantern in both directions. "South looks to be a tight squeeze. East, perhaps."
Mahb pulls Pye squawking from her pack. "Come out, you chicken. Fly down the southern passage quietly and see what's there."
Resentfully, the raven flaps slowly down the corridor, alert for nasty surprises.
