Dragon's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Hans raises an eyebrow.

"That sounded dread-inspiring. I wonder what in the Nine Hells he was talking about..."

With a shrug, he then follow Ting-Tang onwards down the corridor.

Iso crosses the small cave, passing the dead seer and reaches another cave. This one is bigger, but empty. Two tunnels continue from the south west end of this cave.

Hans moves forward to cautiously investigate the first passage...

ting, distracted by the old kobolds ominous words falls behind a little when he sees Hans moving forward to investigate the first passage, he hustles up behind him saying

oy, wait's fer me's wroight

he then takes a quick look around

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Iso investigates the first passage followed by Ting. It ends in front of a wooden gate. Behind that wooden gate is another cave. The ceiling is three foot high and the cave is filled with mounds of moldy straw from the floor to the ceiling. Three dire rats are in this cave but they seem to be larger and more ill-tempered than normal dire rats.

after looking into the cave ting turns and asks Nighttail

"is it just tha nasty rats in air er is air somt'in' woith gentin' afters, wroight? Don't get me's wrong; I's don't minds killin rats but if air ain't not'in' woith taken what's would be tha points wroight"

"It's a dead end as far as I remember. I did not spend too much time in this part of the caves." Nighttail answers.

ting shrugs his shoulder and ask Hans and Felicitas

"what do's ya tink gov'n'r and missy do's we kills us some rats er do's we 'ead south lookin fer more kobolds ta kill"

realizing Nighttail was still a kobold, he quickly turns and apologizes

"no's offence Nighttail, wroight"

Ah, Everquest flash-backs ;-)

Hans shrugs.

"We might as well polish them off..."

I don't know why this sword bothers people, its a lovely blade, if I had teeth I would want them to look like this

ting smiles at Hans' response, drawing his sawtooth sabre, equipping a blade in each hand he throws open the latch opening the door and stepping into the cave he calls out

"No times loik tha present, wroight?"

initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 just for fun

You also played everquest?
Felicitas just follows and smiles!

Ting opens the gate and the cruel dire rats attack immediately. These filthy rats are the size of small dogs. They have a coat of coarse fur, long and scabby tails, and two glittering eyes.

The first dire rat rushes out of the prison and bites legs and ankles.

Assuming that takes out the rat...

Casting aside its broken body, he pounds into the room, ready to eliminate the rest of the vermin.

ting watches as Hans eviscerates the first rat; he moves past the twitching body and attacks the next rat in line red bringing the bastard sword around in a devastating overhead attack

Hans cannot help but wince as he sees the way the remaining rat savages Ting Tang.

"That... is one tough rat!"

However, it does not stop him from attempting to cleave it in twain.

MW Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11, for 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3) + 7 = 15 damage.

fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

ting, being bitten in the leg by the rat, squawks louder and dropping the sawtooth sabre grabs the bastard sword in both hands and chops at the rat,

squawk

MW Bastard sword, two handed attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

as the rat dodges away from the blow ting exclaims

"bloody, floogin' cheeky lit'le rat, kills 'at bloke, gov'n'r kills 'im I says, wroight!"

I hate to state the obvious but if Felicitas would pull out the CLW wand, that would be peachy

While felicitas continues to shoo the rat Hans and Ting continue to swing their weapons at the big rat but do not hit. The rat gets bored and tries to get away. Aoo for everybody
Aoo Nighttail Spear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Dire Rat blue -7HP

As the rat turns to leave Ting follows after swinging the bastard sword, calling out

”Oh no’s ya aint, me’s an tha gov’n’r ‘ear’s got som’tin for ya’s, wroight”

AoA with MW bastard sword, two handed

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 for damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Oh, no you don't!"

Hans takes a swing at the rat as it tries to flee.

MW Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18, for 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 6) + 7 = 19.

seeing Hans cleave the rat into halves, ting caws out with a chuckle

"Now 'ats what I's yappin about, tha bisector strikes again, Wroight"

ting quickly kicks around some straw looking about and then heads out of the rat cave. Going back and heading to the south-west tunnel ting looks around as he proceeds.

perception: rat cave: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
perception: south-west tunnel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Hans finally dispatches the reat, the furry ball lies now in front of him.

Ting inspects the rat cave and the tunnel. The rat cave is now dirty with butchered rats, but beside the straw on the floor empty.

The main tunnel leads back to the cave with the turtle pool. A smaller tunnel leads to the north about 25 feet from the tunnel entrance.

After looping around and mildly confusing himself, ting returns to the north tunnel, slowly so as not to lose his light source spinning around Hans head, he moves up the tunnel keeping a keen eye out.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Ting follows the narrow tunnel to the north and reaches another cave. The ceiling of this chamber rises to a lofty twelve feet. The cave floor drops away in to a pair of long, ten-foot-deep pits. Between them, a ridge of stone forms a dubious walkway to a landing on the opposite side, where a five-foot-wide shaft with a knotted rope hanging down into it awaits.

Just in the moment Ting puts his head into the cave several bullets coming his way.

Just for clarification - bullets, or sling bullets? If we have gun-toting kobolds I am slightly more intimidated ;-)

"Right then," Hans remarks laconically, "looks like we've found a few more of the locals. Let's pacify them!"

He then readies to move forward to eliminate the current emergent threat.

I assume we are going into initiative.

Sling bullets, sorry.

Hans eagerly rushes forward, ready to start cleaving his way through the kobolds.

Double move.

ting, still a sycophant at heart follows the northern giant, pausing long enough to throw a chakram at the first kobald he sees calling out

" 'ear, catch, wroight"

ting moves forward 30 feet and attacks green with a ranged chakram

At her turn she will start her performance again.

Hans moves into the cave while Ting cuts the throat of the first kobold in sight. Felicitas hears Ting asking for healing and uses her wand twice at the Tengu.

The kobolds on the eastern side across the chasm shoot sling stones while the kobolds around Hans try to hit him with their spears.

He then steps over the kobold's mangled body, providing room for Ting to move up and engage.

wells that feels much better

ting quickly nods towards Felicitas and stepping forward, drawing his sabre as he does, he attacks the nearest kobold blue with the bastard sword in his other claw.

"T'anks Miss Felicitas, Don't Hogs 'em all gov'n'r, I's'a comin'"

watching the kobold dodge his first blow ting resets, this time a sword in each claw and attacks, pecking along for good measure

"Oy, don't go no where's tha parties just startin', wroight."

it's like watching a bloody artist, least I can do is my fair share

ting can barely suppress a giggle as he sees Hans attack the far kobold. hoping he carry his own weight he moves forward 5 ft. step and attacks the nearest kobold orange with sword and sabre.

Now 'ats what I's yappin bout, split 'at bloody bugger from stem ta stern, nape ta nads, nose ta knees. Tha bisector strikes again, wroight!

The shaft descends to to an empty cave.

Hans checks the bodies, before looking at the hole down to the next level.

Is there a rope already in place?
