Grilnik moves slowly, deeper into the tunnels
Grilnik accidentally scrapes his Longhammer on the tunnel walls as he peers down the tunnel.
Hearing the dwarf bumping around Bethany fall in line with the others, not able to see much she keeps one hand on the wall as they move.
Brynn follows behind the others on their way down the tunnel. After quickly losing sight of Verik's dancing lights, she casts it herself, having begrudgingly prepared it this morning in place of one of her divination cantrips.
Verik follows behind, creating his lights as he ever presently does.
You know, If I was any strong I'd try to be up ahead, because alot if the more useful spells of my skill are all very close range, but I'm afraid I'm not mentioning for getting up close like the rest of ya. he chuckled to himself
Bethany chucks quietly at the wizard leading the group.
"Maybe next time I will try and grab a hold of one and drag it to you."
She will continue forward until there is a branching tunnel or a fork.
Grilnik moves up with Bethany, looking for trouble.
He whispers "I see one on the other side of a pit, I call dibs. Beth, wanna go in and take any we find on the left?"
With a smile.
"Sure I do."
You all step forward, you can hear quite a few voices. They seem to be trying to stay quiet.
How do you want to proceed. Those are pits. Everyone gets a surprise round. Once everyone decides what to do, I will roll Init. Feel free to move yourself to where you need to start from, on roll20.
Vors signals to the others he sees only one, but like rats, there are probably more.
The half-orc silently draws his rapier and whispers a quick prayer into his holy symbol.
Before moving up Bethany whispers.
"I will head to the left as soon as a move is made."
She grips her hammer ready to charge in as soon as any sort of signal is given.
As you all enter the room, you can see quite a few kobolds, poised to strike anyone entering.

Grilnik moves forward, trying not to drop his Longhammer in the cramped tunnels and drawing a javelin. As he steps around the corner, he throws his javelin at the kobold he saw first.
As he quickly looks around the room, he talks over his shoulder.
"Beth, just want to remind you that 'any' isn't 'all'."
Straw is strewn across the foor of this large cave. The ceiling vaults to a height of twelve feet. Three ledges, eight feet off the ground, look out over the main cavern. A five-foot- wide, twenty-foot-deep trench runs north to south through the western half of the cavern, with just one five-foot wide bridge of natural stone allowing passage from one side to the other.
5 of the kobolds quickly swing their slings and throw bullets at the fresh Dwarf in their view.
2 of them strike true and draw blood, others miss entirely, or bounce off the dwarf's armor

Vors rights himself as he enters the carven and sees just how off he was on his initial count of hostiles. The half-orc runs toward the pit ledge and jumps over, surprising the kobold he lands in from of.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Whispering to herself at first and getting gradually louder as she moves into the room.
"Keep calm fight smart. Keep calm fight smart.
She does not quite manage to keep it together.
Both attacks just miss! Now with people right inside the room.

Hearing combat ahead, and Bethany yelling like a mad woman, Brynn cautiously moves forward and into the large cavern. Trusting Bethany and Vors to be able to handle their kobold targets, Brynn focuses her magic into her bow and takes aim at one of the kobolds further into the cavern.
Brynn's arrow goes flying straight at the kobold. Striking its hip.
Verik moves forward into the room a bit, turns and sees a Kobold up on a ledge, and fires a blinding ray at it, hoping to blind it.
K4 runs forward at Bethany, stabbing with its spear.

Brynn returns the favour, moving over a few quick steps for a clearer shot, then turning and firing a single arrow up at the kobold on the ledge.
Then she casts a spell, causing a magical shield to flicker to life in the air in front of her, before disappearing.
Verik reloads his crossbow and takes aim at the closest Kobold(The map just looks black on my screen, stupid phone),
He fires the crossbow, hoping his aim was good enough to hit.
And despite his poor eyesight, lack of proper training, and his age, Verik s~%* pretty well!
but didn't hit very well.
Brynn's Arrow strikes true and the Kobold falls to the edge of the ledge.
Verik aims at K8 and flies a bolt. It strikes the creature's flank.
One of the kobolds around Bethany stabs forward with its spear.
The kobold in the distance that was just struck by Verik looks at the field. Too many of his tribe are in the mix, but sees Verik in the distance and attempts to sling a bullet at him.

The half-orc notices the K6 kobold trying to flank Bethany right next to him.
Well..that was stupid.
Pivoting, Vors expertly slides his rapier inbetween the kobold's ribs and into his heart.
Bethany holds her ground trusting, something deep in her raging brain tells her that Vors has her back, and brings the hammer around again trusting that she will hit (K5) eventually.
Vors stabs forward and skewers the Kobold in front of him, right as Bethany crashes down on the kobold that ran up to her last round. Both die swift deaths.
The kobold in the back sees all of his tribe mates dying around him. With no way to escape this cave he reloads his sling and shoots another bullet at Brynn. The bullet just making it through the shimmering barrier that surrounds her.

K1
Brynn, Verik <-Kill them all!

"Ow!" Brynn exclaims as a sling stone strikes her in the shoulder. With a narrowing of her eyes, she moves forward a few steps, takes aim at the offending kobold and fires an arrow at him.
With a quick reload of his crossbow, Verik takes a shot at the one Brynn shot at.
The small creature, dodges the second projectile heading toward it's head.
K4 takes a another strike attempt at Bethany, missing terribly.
The Kobold on the ledge to the right steps to the side a bit, reloads its sling and takes a shot at Vors, cursing in Draconic.

Bethany locks eyes with the last kobold {K4} on her level and smiles. Trying something new she brings the hammer low and then up in an attempt to remove its head the hard way.
The half-orc steps over a few kobold corpses to stand next to next to Bethany.
"Hello. Lovely day."
Vors stabs his rapier into the kobold attacking the barbarian.
Grilnik steps over the freshly fallen foes and swings his hammer at the kobold on the eastern ledge.
Grilnik shouts at the last kobold "Last chance to surrender!"
Bethany and Vors destroy the kobold in front of them.
Grilnik crushes the kobold up on the ledge. There is only one left, and he is up to the north.
He seems to be panicing.. quickly reloading his sling and looks at the field. He aims it directly at Grilnik. He is so flustered by the scene in front of him, and the fact he cant back up at all, he just misses the dwarf by a mile.
Round 4
Grilnik, Bethany, Vors
K1
Brynn, Verik <-Only 1 left!
Feel free to start Round 5 too. So basically everyone gets a move right now. Kill that last one!
Brynn moves forward, deeper into the cavern and fires an arrow coated in acid at the last kobold.
Grilnik moves over to the last remaining kobold and swings his hammer overhead, trying to reach it.
Realizing he can't move close enough to blind the Kobold he reloads his crossbow and takes a shot.
Verik's bolt strikes true and brings the Kobold down.
Out of combat, what do you wish to do?
"Quite a few of these buggers. On the plus side maybe they each had a coin purse or something."
Vors nods and goes around searching the kobold bodies for coin and other treasure.
Grilnik watches as Vors picks through the fallen.
Such a waste of life, well, at least let's not waste any coin...
"While you do that, I'll mend a few scratches."
Grilnik presents his holy symbol and healing energy pours out.
"I will never get use to how good that feels. Thank you Grilnik."
She busies herself keeping watch while Vors searches.
Brynn helps Vors search the bodies for money and useful equipment.
As you look though the corpses of the kobolds you find about 20g across the lot of them, as well as 8 small spears, 8 small leather armor, and 8 small slings.
