Ed's Dragon's Demand (Inactive)

Game Master fine_young_misanthrope

Finn whispers to the group, "I think he raising those tadpoles like we would sheep or pigs." before he sees Shriek bash the kobold with the flat of his sword.

"Yes, you are probably right." Yasmin then asks the kobold that joined them in Draconic

"What is your name little one? I am Yasmin"

If the kobold that the skald attacks is still moving Orell will ready an action to shoot it if it tries anything. Period.

Samuel carefully drops down behind the kobold and deftly knocks it out.

As Samuel is busy making friends with the koblod, Yasmin begins to talk to the other kobold. Your friendly kobold turns to you and says, I'm Nighttail and this is Hak She says this as she rubs under the dinosaurs neck. I came here long ago when my tribe was destroyed. These aren't bad kobolds, but their leader is a bad one.

As you advance into the room, Nighttail says, in common, Be careful, up head is a few more kobolds. They have hard back snappies in the water! She's trying to search for words in common that she doesn't have.....

"Turtles? How big?", Finn asks.

Shriek looks at what the unconscious kobold was doing, then checks his body for keys or magical objects using detect magic.

"I do not fully understand. But let's try to take those creatures to our place" says the half-orc casting dancing lights into a vague shape resembling a small kobold and moving the lights through the tunnel to where the kobolds or turtles should see them.

At that point he casts ghost sound over the dancing lights giving them a mourning painful sound.
Figment Will DC 12 to disbelief

If the kobolds come to investigate, he moves the lights back to this chamber trying to bring the kobolds to this larger room where the group can fight better ensemble. He readies his sword.

Yasmin climbs down and looks at what Shriek is doing. She then readies her sword.

Orell will also follow down and then ready the trusty crossbow intent on blasting them if they come.

Solvi and Bisi also descend and wait for the kobolds to come to us

Samual-As you cast your spell and wait you see two kobolds follow the lights. They might not nessasarly believe your sounds and they are following the sounds... You know they are coming..

kobold will save-A: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
kobold will save-b: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
You easily suprize the kobolds...

The slaughter begins! You easily dispatch the two kobolds.

Your guide, looks over the dead, then says Be careful...water things in the water ahead!
Puzzled, she turns to you in draconic and says

with the kobolds dispatched, which way would you like to go?

If at all possible, I think that we'd have knocked out the kobolds rather than killing them

thats fine. You have the drop on them, so either way they are going down. Would the group like to take as many captive as possible?

sure tie em up and let our friend lead them later

thats fine. You have the drop on them, so either way they are going down. Would the group like to take as many captive as possible?

Works for me.

Agreed

"Lets go right first" Yasmin says while she moves to the west

Orell readies his crossbow and mwntions he hopes they are turtles for some good soup following to the right

"I generally prefer the left hand rule myself, but I'll defer to you"

Solvi and Bissi join Yasmin

The turtles say in the water. They look up at you from the dark water, waiting for you to slip in, but they do stay.

Your kobold friend looks at you and says, You good people. You spare my people. You leave me more to rule, and you make more friends with less arrows!

You take the path to the west. It's more kobold tunnels. It's slow, dangerous work as you make your way in the dark. The kobolds are not attacking as either you're scaring them off, or you're being smart. Either way, you're walking with your heads bent as you make your way in the small, cramped tunnels.

You continue following the path, and the path splits again. Your guide looks up at you and says, Left goes deeper, forward goes back around. Where you want to go?

"Where do you think this chief of yours is staying?"

deeper of course, why would they be back towards the surface? Orell says with his common sense and a smile

The kobold things for a second then says, Big chef down deep. He gots his friends with him. You gots enough friends with you but you make more friends for me, things get easier!

Everybody else want to go down?

Turning to our little friend

"is there anybody else down here who might help us against the king? Any other friends? If there are, we should see them first. Otherwise, straight to the chief seems best"

"Groarrrr!" Shriek scratches his head as he listens to the kobold "It is still to be seen if you are a friend to reign the tribe or a traitor taking us to a trap. Let's move down!"

The half-orc starts following the group to the deep below after everybody feels ready.

"Yep, let's go down!"

The kobold scratches her head a bit, then says Right now, me thinks the others back the winners, and you haven't won yet. You leave more alive, and I'll make you more friends! If we go either way, more kobolds...be careful!

You keep walking toward the way down in the lair.

The ceiling of this chamber rises to a lofty twelve feet. The cave floor drops away into 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.

kobold stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

They know you yourcoming, but do you know if they are there? If your perception beats the stealth roll, you act in the first round!

S damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"Huh, what?"

Yasmin did not beat their stealth score, so she has no surprise round

Finn moves up a bit and hexes the nearest kobold.

Samuel rushes up to the nearest kobold and swings hard. The kobold is slightly far away, but not far enough. Hit drops to the ground with its stomach cut open.

kobold will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Kobold fails to shake off the hex, and is now cursed.

Bissi rushes up and attacks one of the kobolds bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 for damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
S damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Bissi looks very amused at all the attention and not at all upset :-)

Bissi goes in and hopefully continues to eviscerate the enemy.

And Solvi continues to fire his long bow at one of the archers :-)

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 for damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Orell aims the howitzer and fires with a recoil at a slinging kobold

FIRE THE TORPEDOES: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Under the combined assault of Samuel and the cat, the remaining kobolds fall. You're in a room with a hole leading down and the way back. What would you like to do?

down the rabbit hole, Alice

let us go down and finish this Orell says with a grimace

"Yes, let's do that"

Down we go!

Shriek roars as he descends the hole into the unknown with the party.

"Who are we to argue? Into the hole it is"

"Oh good...we are going even farther away from the sun...

You carefully come to the lip of the hole and look down with your light

You see that it's clear, so you carefully crawl down the hole. At the bottom the way splits. Before you can debate which way to go, your guide, looks at you and says, Both ways go to the priest. You have to be careful. The priest has friends and the dead!

Choose left or right, either way leads to the shrine.

You walk toward the next room.

The ceiling at the center of this cave is twelve feet high. A crude idol stands in the middle of the cave, decorated with grisly strips of dried viscera. Stand in the middle is a kobold decked out in robes and carrying a staff. He stands behind two kobolds, and in front of the two kobolds are two skeletons. They know you are coming, and they are ready to rumble!

Bissi is willing to be the target for all of these attacks. They rarely hit him anyway :-). And they all miss

spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Solvi decides its time to actually use a spell :-). Daze on the spell caster (will save DC 15 to avoid).

Samuel moves as fast as possible through the small corridor "Groar! Who made this place was not thinking on half-orcs!"

At the first sight of the priest and the skeletons the skald starts hitting his armor and the corridor walls into an inspiring roaring cadence.
Everybody can chose to accept the inspired rage at the beginning of their turn. If accepting you gain +2 morale Str, +2 Con, +1 Will, -1 AC. This can be declined each turn.

Samuel enters into a rage!
