Crown of the Kobold King (Inactive)

Game Master Seldlon the Swift

"That could be problematic and would leave me on the front line. Suggestions?"

"Don't think i can poison a hammer...", Reinar thinks to himself, shrugging. "I can take the lead if you want, Kerrdremak, just tell me who to kill."

Cirthana touches each of you imparting Divine Guidance and Touch of Good. She casts Protection from Evil on Reinar. She casts Divine Favor and Protection from Evil on herself.

Divine Guidance (1 minute or until discharged) This spell imbues the subject with a touch of divine guidance. The creature gets a +1 competence bonus on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. It must choose to use the bonus before making the roll to which it applies.

Touch of Good (1 round) (Sp) You can touch a creature as a standard action, granting giving it a +1 sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 round. You can use this ability 7 times per day.

Protection from evil (1 minute) First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures.

Second, the subject immediately receives another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) against any spells or effects that possess or exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment [charm] effects and enchantment [compulsion] effects, such as charm person, command, and dominate person. This saving throw is made with a +2 morale bonus, using the same DC as the original effect. If successful, such effects are suppressed for the duration of this spell. The effects resume when the duration of this spell expires. While under the effects of this spell, the target is immune to any new attempts to possess or exercise mental control over the target.

Divine Favor (1 minute) Calling upon the strength and wisdom of a deity, you gain a +1 luck bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls for every three caster levels you have (at least +1, maximum +3). The bonus doesn't apply to spell damage. Divine warrior (Iomedae) trait adds another +1 to this spell.

"Merlokrep and Jekkajak must go. It is possible I can turn any others who survive. Beware the king and that axe. He has had plenty of practice with it on his subjects and kin."

Zevon 14/20 Rhen 19/21 Reinar 22/28

Perhaps a ruse would be successful. Bring us in as prisoners so that we are able to get close and you will likewise be able to find an advantageous position.

"As you wish. Grugakrug's presence will add to the credibility."

Cirthana uses her wand of CLW on Reinar 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Kerrdremak and Grugakrug get you into the throne room.

Here stands the Crawling Throne of Merlokrep. The Kobold King’s throne is crafted from the corpse of a monstrous centipede. The massive vermin is propped up against the wall here on a dais of stone blocks, its legs curling in around any who sit upon it like leveled arm rests.

Merlokrep, first of his name, Dragon King of the Truescale Tribe sits here h­oning the edge of his bloody axe (“Man-feller”). He is flanked by his two most fearsome warriors, Myrmidons of the Truescale that are themselves clad in gilded armor, clutching their shortspears at attention.

Merlokrep is a physical paragon of kobolds, and his imposing powerhouse frame belies the usual assumptions about his pathetic reptilian race. The king’s one good eye peers from his skull with a fierce aspect, smoldering with rage at the party’s intrusion. Merlokrep’s skill at arms is unparalleled among his tribe, and he wields “Man-feller” in an impressive display. He’s had plenty of practice slaughtering insolent malcontents among his tribe (mur­dering his eighteen siblings was no mean feat either) and is eager to wet his axe in your blood. His regal snout is pierced with a gold nose-ring and his well-groomed ears are also adorned with gold studs. He wears a jeweled skull over his left eye.

"Your Highness, I located five humans on the upper level. You ordered me to report my findings."

Merlokrep says "Human sacrifices, first we shall feast and then you will restore good fortune to the Truescales as Jekkajak rips out your hearts. You will be honored for generations."

"My findings, your highness are that you are an incompetent leader."
Kerrdremak casts burning hands. 3d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) = 7
