Nighttail twists her head towards the half-orc. "Quite necessary. At least you know I'm willing to act. Quickest way to cut him off should be straight ahead."
"The creature was helpless Stone. If life needs to be taken it needs to be done swift and clean. Let's move forward."
Avoiding steeping or looking at the torn up body more than needed he takes the middle tunnel.
"This way, right?"
”Heh, as helpless as a beautiful woman at court.”
”I thought that death was pretty quick actually. Stab, bite, snap, dead. . . I suppose if we constructed a guillotine it could have been a second more rapid. . . Less efficient, but more rapid.”
”But, yes let’s move on. Vengeance has been served.”
Stone, unimpassioned, follows behind the inquisitor.
Sheaorlis runs through the small cave to the south, which contains nothing but a single small pallet heaped with furs that sits against the south wall. The inquisitor rushes through the small room, but right as Stone and Nighttail enter, you realize that the heap of furs is actually an aged kobold, with a patched fur blanket. Clutched in his hands is a tiny box with a leather cord. A Phylactery of Faithfulness. His eyelids flutter open as Stone and Nighttail enter the room to reveal milky, blind orbs. In a raspy voice, he calls out in common,
"I can tell by your scent that you are strangers here. If my nose tells the truth, you bring the destruction I foretold. Good... good. I had hoped to see our ruin before journeying to the afterworld, but I will settle for listening to it. Beware the great scaly beast, strangers. He seems to speak reason, but his words are poison. And his bats, the ones he called from the darkness ... they are harbingers of lunacy and chaos ... Dread Lord Aeteperax will surely be your doom as he has been ours."
As if the very act of speaking was too much for him, having given this cryptic and ominous message, the venerable kobold dies.
Sheaorlis, you hear the out of breath kobold fiddling with something not far away. A loud ch-tock! reverberates off the hard walls.

In his pursuit the half-orc pauses only for a second to hear the words of the older kobold. Looking behind him to assure that it doesn't pose any threat he mutters with contempt. "Ones that rely on such tools have cast off their faith in the deities. You mention large scaly beasts, bats and chaos but it was you who have embraced them. Your greed... and... What was that?"
The half-orc's ears twitch as he hears sounds not far away. They seemed so familiar yet he could not associate them in his haste to anything.
Not even bothering to spare a second glance at the now dying kobold he charges the kobold with his axe flailing sideways as much as the space permitted.
Sheaorlis, distracted by his thoughts, swings his axe and hits nothing but air.
These filthy rats are the size of small dogs. They have a coat of coarse fur, long and scabby tails, and two glittering eyes. They often carry diseases.
The gates behind the kobold burst open as three rodents the size of small dogs scurry out! Piles of moldy straw fly out with them, as the small three-foot-high cave was packed floor-to-ceiling with it.
One attacks the kobold, one attacks the half-orc, and the third tries to scurry past them all!
The half-orc's feet are a bit too quick for the rat to snag a bite
Perhaps disoriented from the sudden change in space, the rat attacking the reptile misses as well.
The last one rushes out past everyone, bounds off the opposite wall, and bites at Sheaorlis!
The white rat sinks its fangs into Sheaorlis' calf, dealing 6pts of damage!

Though you think as hard as one can through all the fighting, you're pretty sure you've never heard Aeteperax before.
"Dread Lord Aeteperax will surely be your doom?! . . . as he has been ours? Well that sounds pretty ominous doesn't it? This old guy talked about the ruination of his tribe, but can't mean us?"
"Nighttail who was he talking about?"
The cleric promptly speaks the call for healing and touches the Inquisitor.
"And what the hell was that noise?!"
The half-orc slashes at one of the rats that just passed him raising the ire of its breathren, which bit him on the leg.
Having dealt with similar rodents before and knowing full well how dangerous they might be, the inquisitor does not waste any second and dispatches with the second rat.
Wincing in pain from the bite he turns his attention to the kobold and stares at him menacingly: "Making one of the inquisitors of Abadar chase after you, endangering his life on two occasions. You have just forfeited your life. Say your prayers."
The black rat growls and collapses.
The inquisitor then swings at the white albino looking rat, but can't seem connect.
Rather than answer his question, Nighttail and Hak stamp past the Cleric and join the fray the Inquisitor has found himself in. She raises her spear stabs down towards the white rat's head.
But the rodent dog is faster than it looks. Then again, so is the allosaurus in the room!
Though his stomach might be a bit full, as he's moving kinda slow.

The kobold didn't seem to understand Sheaorlis' words, as it makes a quick step and thrusts its spear at him
And the half-orc merely laughs as he parries the spear with nothing but the back of his hand!

The white rat retaliates against the dinosaur that tried to eat it while the other one runs between Sheaorlis and Hak. Looking back and forth, it goes for the prey that isn't already claimed.
Hak roars in pain as the rat jumps up and chomps on its throat!
The half-orc's fancy footwork prevent the other rat's fangs from tasting his toes and feasting on feet!

Feeling more assured seeing that Nighttail has joined the fight together with her dinosaur the half-orc takes the opportunity to attack the distracted dire rat. Seeing that the kobold has nowhere to go and does not pose much danger, Sheaorlis ignores him for now.
The cleric intones Inspiring Words granting Sheaorlis a +2 bonus to hit, saves and ability checks for the next round.
This rodent's senses must be finely-tuned indeed, as the inquisitor still can't get a hit.
Nighttail again stabs down with her spear onto the vermin's over-sized head!
The rat staggers a bit, then collapses on the ground, dead.
Hak goes after the other rat still alive
Hak manages to slash it once with its claws, but the cruel dire rat has plenty of fight left in it!

The inquisitor notices that the kobold is slowly running away, taking advantage of the rat distractions and turns his attention towards the reptilian creature and making a vain attempt to cut him. The narrow tunnels proved to favour the smaller creatures and by restricting his movements it hindered the attack.
"Stone, I thank you for all the help you have provided but you'd better watch out for the rats. They are nastier than the ones in towns and just as hard to to get rid off."
Stone sweeps his blade down.
”Yes! I have the blessing to bring you back or at least stabilize you should you fall. I would like to burst. We need to down some more of these foes so that we don’t revive them with my healing power. Alternatively I can selectively channel wrath and protect us.”
Stone sweeps his blade down, and just manages to cut the rodent.
It's hurt bad, but still conscious, still with a bit of bite!

Not bothering to block or deflect the blow, the half-orc chooses instead to launch a counter-attack and as he is stabbed by the small spear he lets out a roar, making a deep would with the greataxe.
"Before that, make sure the rats are actually dead and that there aren't any others that have been too shy to get out of their cage."
The cleric nods grimly and makes sure all of the foes will never rise again.
”Nighttail, I am going to heal everyone, just letting you know what I am about to do.”
”Well, I am all healed up. How are you and your companion Nighttail?”
All the foes are, in fact, dead.
Combat Over!
"Fine, Claire. Thanks for asking, Claire. Actually, I didn't receive a scratch. Though Hak is looking better now, so...consider my thanks genuine." She winks. "Wait a second, what was that?"
She turns around and heads back up to the small room where the dead high priest lies.
You hear a violent sound and a gruesome squish, and Nighttail returns calmly.
"Sorry, there was another kobold. Must've come from above. Anyway, the next drop down is just around the bend there. Mind your step."

"Another one? Just how many levels does this cave complex have?" The inquisitor asks wiping the blood from the axe, not bothering to verify what Nighttail has done in the other room.
"You sure seemed to have come prepared for a fight Stone. By the way things are going I think we would be needing more of your healing before this day is over."
"Nighttail, whenever you are ready...."
”Yes, well, these warrens are like the city sewers and catacombs I started off in. After cutting my teeth on street level stuff of course.”
”Let’s pick up whatever’s useful and move on shall we? I believe the gentleman in the bed was wearing something magical.”
The cleric takes a quick look around and examines the magical item worn by the former spiritual leader in the bed.
The only thing of interest is what the blind kobold was holding in his hands, a Phylactery of Faithfulness. It's usually worn around the forehead but, in his condition, blind and waiting to die, he held it tightly to himself, as if holding his very faith.
"Yes, his name was Jakkol. The used to be the tribe's priest. Though a visitor of his decided she'd be our new priest, when she learned Jakkol was near death. All she does is try to convince everyone to return to the worship of Vapula. Pfft! No thanks! Alright, y'all know the drill. I guard the caboose."
Nighttail gestures and waits for someone to head into the narrow tunnel.
"I guess it could be valuable to someone in the town. Maybe a novice would feel more at ease using it, though it would probably help him more if we leave it here in the caves."
Sheaorlis said showing no more love towards the object then when he saw it the first time.
"So, you've also had a change of religions in the tribe? This is what happens when people don't stick to the good old paved path, chaos, killings and misery. One's not satisfied with his condition and desires more."
Casting a spell on himself he slowly descends into the third level of the cave complex.
”Yes. Who was your patron deity?”
The cleric takes the Phylactery of Faithfulness and places it in his pack.
Sheaorlis begins making his way through the tunnel, followed by Nighttail and Hak, with Stone bringing up the rear. The ceiling of this chamber rises to a lofty twelve feet. The cave floor drops away into a pair of long, 10ft deep pits. Between them, a ridge of stone forms a dubious walkway to a landing on the opposite side, where a 5ft wide shaft with a knotted rope hanging down into it awaits. The floor of this cave slopes upward at the elbow of the path, so that the eastern wall of the eastern pit rises higher than its western wall.
"My patron diety? Sorry, I ain't much into the whole "faith" thing. Jakkol led the tribe in the worship of the uh...oh what's he called? The "infernal duke"? Vapula, that's it. And Churgri is on her own personal mission to sway the cold-blooded hearts of us all to return to that faith; with little to no success, I might add."
While Nighttail is still speaking, a sudden volley of rocks comes flying at the party!
One stone hits...Stone...right above his eyebrow, dealing 2pts of damage. The rest miss except for one that hit Sheaorlis. But his face is so unreadable, it's hard to tell he actually was hurt at all by it.
Looking at the wall, you see several gaps in the rock, concealing a tunnel with an unknown number of kobolds. And now, they're using you for target practice!
Bold can act!

"Not into the faith thing?! I'll let you know, the reason why you're still not tied there is because of it, that, and the fact that you know you're way around. Watch out Nighttail!"
The half-orc narrowly avoids a stone thrown from above and shrugs off another one which seems to have hit him.
"We're outnumbered, put into a tight spot and could get very messy if the alarm is raised yet I have no doubt we would prevail. You know why? Faith. Have a small dose of it:"
The inquisitor extracts a parchment from a sack throwing it above the kobold's head as he recites an incantation.
"Stone, though I sense yours is strong I say you can never have enough. You're next, but first, let me show these clowns we are not messing around." Leaving the axe propped to the cavern wall he draws the longbow.
”No, I meant who was the tribe worshipping? You made it sound like Jakkol and the tribe were giving tribute to another god when you say that Churgri was trying to get them to go back to worshipping Vapula.”
Rocks begin pelting the cleric.
”Ouch! Damn! Freaking overgrown Jermaline!”
The kobolds continue their onslaught, hoping for slightly better accuracy. From the opening furthest to the right (south), a projectile comes flying at the Cleric's face!
But a quick duck of the head suffices to dodge the rock.
From the same opening in the rock, another stone is slung at Stone!
This one is closer, but still not really a threat to nimble human.
Nighttail can't stifle her laughter as she calls out, "Claire, ya never said you was such a good dancer!"
Her laughter cuts off as two stones fly toward her!
The second one looked like it was coming right for her but, thanks to the shield the half-orc provided, somehow powered by faith, no harm is done.
And, to complete the ensemble, Sheaorlis also tries to dodge to oncoming rocks.
One hits his knee, though not very hard. And the other doesn't even make the distance. It tumbles down into the eastern pit below.

Seeing that the multiple attackers are well shielded in their positions, the cleric moves forward as far as he can in the current marching order. He selects out his fellow allies and channels Ragathiel’s Wrath of Vengeance.
”Behold!”
Stone thrusts his arm out making Jakkol’s Phylactery of Faithfulness displayed clearly!
A wave of destructive energy radiates outward in 30 feet all around the Cleric known as Stone. The flash of red tinted force passes around the party members and burn into their living foes!
”Tell them the ruin foretold by Jakkol has come! They will continue to feel the anger of Jakkol’s spirit if they oppose you and his teachings!”
”Tell them if they throw down their arms, turn away or attack you no further the burning will cease!”
”Tell them you are the path to the tribes salvation and Jakkol’s spirit set you free to save them!”
"That would give them something to think about. Stone, what do you say, should we teach them how to use range weapons or make run for it?"
Nighttail is taken aback somewhat by Claire's unexpected shouting; partly because his shouting would surely carry down to the lower level, forfeiting any element of surprise they might could have had... but also because his the story he had so quickly spun was exciting enough that she nearly believed it herself.
She bellows towards the kobolds that can barely be seen:
"Rrënimi i parathënë nga Jakkol ka ardhur! Ju do të vazhdoni të ndjeni zemërimin e frymës së Jakkol nëse ju kundërshtoni mua! Nëse hedhni poshtë armët tuaja, largohuni ose mos na sulmoni më tej, djegia do të pushojë! Unë, Nighttail jam rruga për shpëtimin e fisit! Ishte fryma e Jakkolit që më çliroi, që të të shpëtova!
Gjithashtu, nëse vazhdoni të rezistoni, kur kjo të jetë e gjatë, Hak do të hajë secilën nga fytyrat tuaja!"
The ruin foretold by Jakkol has come! You will continue to feel the anger of Jakkol’s spirit if you oppose me! If you throw down your arms, turn away or attack us no further, the burning will cease! I, Nighttail am the path to the tribe's salvation! It wasJakkol’s spirit that set me free, so that I might save you!
Also, if you continue to resist, when this is all over, Hak will eat each of your faces!
Nighttail's last word lingers on the stuffy air. An eerie silence follows. No kobolds are visable through the holes in the rock, nor are any more stones being slung your way.
What do you do?

”Well crap! It looked like that worked. Let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth, let’s get moving. Where to next?”
The cleric asks ready to move to the next objective!
"We're not going to turn back just because the kobolds are acting weird. Let's keep going." The half-orc picks up the axe which he just dropped and climbs down the rope.
"Ston,e there will come a day when you will have to answer to the gods and the spirits of the dead on how you've used their memory."
”Heh! Well I do serve the god of Vengeance and Retribution, so I certainly hope you are right inquisitor. In the meantime it looks like he wishes me to survive long enough to accomplish something in his name.”
Sheaorlis climbs down the rope into the darkness, finding himself in an empty chamber. Soon thereafter, Stone joins him, the light from his holy symbol filling the room. There are two passages that exit to the north of this room, positioned on opposite walls.
Quicker than one might expect, Hak comes sliding through the hole with the rope between its teeth, fortunately the rope doesn't break, though it is frayed in places.
"I can't believe that worked..." Nighttail whispers.

Nighttail motions to you two as she and Hak crouch by the wall.
In a very, very faint whisper, she informs you,
"Tribe's shrine to Vapula at end of hallway. Churgri probably there as well. Powerful cleric. 2 skeletons. Probably knows someone is here. Definitely heard ruckus above."
As the kobold warns about the dangers ahead Sheaorlis frowns and rips another parchment slowly as not to create too much noise and makes the same incantation as he used on Nighttail earlier. The half orc arms himself with the axe in preparation for the battle.
"I'll take the left path, you can take the other. Let's not give the cleric time to summon reinforcement. We can use that little toy of yours to see if he still believes in his ways after we're done with him."
The Cleric known as Stone nods at his companions and casts Bless.
He then tries to determine the nature of the wands they collected earlier.
”What were these wands again?”
"Cure Light Wounds and the other is a wand of Entangle. Y'know, I also got a potion of invisibility in that knapsack. We could use it to our advantage."
"I've never been fond of those weapons." Sheaorlis remarks pausing for a second while remembering his past experiences with wands.
"But Nighttail might be right about the potion, one of us could get up close to deliver the first blow. Of course that person risks being overwhelmed by the undead. Another way would be to have one of us sneak behind him, wait until his minions have left his side and after the cleric is dealt with we could sandwich the remaining ones or attack them from behind if they retreat to protect their master. "
”I’ll keep the healing wand, Nighttail the entangling one, you take the invisibility and I can burst to soften the skeletons up and heal us up. Does that sound like a plan?”
”We can modify it, but I am ready to go when you are.”
"Nighttail, I do hope the dose of the potion has been adjusted for someone having a strong build. The last thing we would want would be for it to only have partial effect."
With that said the half-orc takes the invisibility potion from the cleric drinks it all in one gulp, counts to five then checks how visible his extremities are. keeping both of his arms tight around the handle he props his weapon on his shoulder and moves through the tunnel. He makes a beeline towards the
The inquisitor downs the liquid, and within seconds has completely vanished from view.
Churgri does not notice
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. You see the kobold that can only be Churgri standing a few feet behind it, flanked by two skeletons. Churgri, you notice, is in a defensive stance; she is obviously aware that there are others, and that some sort of tussle was occurring in the above room.

"Unë e di që dikush është atje! Ejani nëpër tunel, ngadalë, me krahët e ngritur dhe unë do ta bëj një vdekje të shpejtë!"
Moving along the left side of the tunnel the half-orc maintains his composure and positions himself out of the way of the skeletons not wishing to attract attention to himself or to act as an obstacle if they should choose to head for the smaller tunnels. He looks back to check if all goes according to the plan and felt very uneasy once he heard the Nighttail communicate to his fellow kobold.
Thinking he was the best outfitted to deal with the skeletons and hoping to give the Inquisitor an advantage with his invisibility, The Cleric known as Stone calls out in return.
”Look. I have no idea what the heck you just said, but if you can speak common It’s time to give up your arms and surrender or flee. If you decide to fight us, you will be killed. It’s as simple as that. If you want a piece of us come get some. We are right down the tunnel here.”
