Bardic knowledge: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
I think the only we don't know yet is the frog creature?

"..so we plan to intimidate them..I can do that.."

Thran stands a little behind Vanarog and flexes his muscles, realy letting them roll around under his clothes as he stretches and grins a wide toothy grin as he hears Urktar's remark.

Effects: Shaken for 4 rounds.
A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Bold is up.
Nothing much about the Slurk other then it can spit slime at you, climb and it's greasy.

The party looms and the kobolds apparently involuntarily take a step back but their leader with a quiver in his voice orders an attack!
He himself seems to be waiting for something.

The Dryad in question sets a finger to her lips and winks at all of you.
The Dryad can be asked to aid with as a move action using
Bluff, Diplomacy, or Knowledge (nature) check to appeal to
the dryad for assistance

Varanog snears at the Kobold. "Məndə heç bir insan ustası yoxdur. Siz durduğunuz yerdə özünüzü sınayın. bu acınacaqlıdır."

Varanog casts a spell as his rod is raised high, its dragon maws breathe tiny cones of pale blue light.

Casting Ray of enfeeblement with a use of my Reach metamagic rod

Ranged touch versus big one: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Have you Moved your self in order to target the leader, Varanog? I know the site's being wonky. :)
There's quite abit of trees in the way.

As Tiny cones of blue light bombards the Kobold leader, Varanog's mocking echoes around the forest, the leader snarls as he gives the order to his underlings!
Fort Save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

As one they raise their crossbows and fire at Varanog!
Red 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 2 = 171d6 ⇒ 2
Blue 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 = 51d6 ⇒ 3
Yellow 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 2 = 221d6 ⇒ 6

And then they pull on the reloading levers and reload their weapons.

This will not end well....

Urktar attempts to hide his relief that the talking portion is over as he moves forward and unleashes an arrow at the strange slurk.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Confirm Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Aid Token Available. (Boosted:Easy Spellcraft, Allied Offensive)

Urktar slays the Slurk in a single shot eliciting a scream of rage from the Kobold Leader!

The leader points and charges towards Urktar and with what litle movements left for him he gestures.
A challenge has being made!
Attack Urktar 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 231d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
The lance sinks in deep, the impact driving the point much deeper. The leader grins at Urktar.

Argenta loks over to the woodland creature.

I dont suppose you coould, I dont know, maybe do something to help out with these kobolds since its your lands they are apprently invading?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Following which she begins to weave a spell. A ball of light appears between her hands and she hurls it through the trees at the kobolds, where it silently explodes into a mass of multi coloured chaos.

Move action to try and get the woman to help (I think this is what you said it was) followed by a standard to glitterdust the kobolds behind the trees, assuming she can see them at all? DC18 will save or blinded with a new save at the end of each of their turns

Urktar looks down at the blood gushing his side from the lance wound and grins. "Now we're speaking my language!" He looks the kobold leader in the eye and says, "Come closer, my friend, and I will finish our little chat..."

Thought so. Tere slips and slides his way forward, trying to reach the sudden melee outbreak.

This is all roughly difficult terrain, right?

The river and lake are, the paths are not

To Varanog, Alaric says, "Protect yourself."

The Bonuwat druid then moves forward, after tapping his dinosaur friend with magic fang, enhancing his talons.

His talons glowing with magical might, the little dinosaur charges forward. He really doesn't care for all the cold that they have been in, but this fighting part he really likes!

Move forward to black kobold, and attack
talon, MF: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23 slashing: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Thran starts to hum a battle tune

Standard to start inspire courage, move to either assist on the diplomacy or if it can be used more then once a round try to appeal myself

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Dryad, can you lend a hand?'

Tere moves forward seeking a an advantage where he can put his talents to its greatest use while Thran not only begins to inspire his allies, he too appeals to the Dryad who nods!

Alaric forewarns Varanog and sends the little killing machine that he calls his companion into the Fray!
Shredder does succeed in grazing his target who looks a little shocked at getting attacked by something his size or so.

Argenta aims a spell looking to take out as many of the kobolds as possible......

Do any of the kobolds save?

since im next at top of order, here's my next turn

Varanog snears at Alaric's cowardice... and floats forward behind him. Rod still raised high, he calls the the archers.

"Bu sophisticanın həqiqəti necə rədd etdiyini gör! Onun həyatını necə atdığını gör! Onun əsl əsl qanunu qurbanlıq üçün deyil, beyazlardan uzaq olsun!"

I knew I forgot something......
Red 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 2 = 7
Yellow 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 2 = 2
Blue 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 2 = 3
Also Black is the Monster Wrangler and 3 dmg should be on him and not sniper.

Argenta's well aimed spell blinds the kobolds and at the same time solidifies the Dryad's favorable impression of the group.

Yep 3 Blind Kobolds.....3 blind Kobolds...3 blind Kobolds.

Varanog attempts to once more show the kobolds the true shadow that is Shadrixis but it doesn't seem to have any effect. maybe being blind prevents them from seeing that.....

Red 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 2 = 7
Yellow 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 2 = 3
Blue 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 - 2 = 15
The three kobolds shriek as they attempt to claw their eyes in a vain attempt to regain their vision but fails.....

Argenta moves forward a little and weaves another spell, covering the Kobold leaders weapon in slippery grease.

Casting grease on its weapon, DC17 reflex save or he drops it

Urktar drops his bow, takes a 5' step, unsheathes the Black Death, and growls fiercely while entering rage, attacking the kobold leader.
inspired raging attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 16
magic adamantine slashing damage: 2d4 + 8 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 8 + 1 + 3 = 17

If the party doesn't object, if that hits, Urktar would like to add the Allied Offensive to the damage. If we do and it did hit, all allies are considered flanking v. kobold leader for 1 round...
Boosted Allied Offensive: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

sounds good to me... but you also have:
BTW: The Twinhorn Allies grant you 2d8 bonus damage on your next successful attack! ... so. twinhorm allies for urktar: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 7) = 12
With him charging... hope you hit and slay him!

sounds good to me... but you also have:

BTW: The Twinhorn Allies grant you 2d8 bonus damage on your next successful attack! ...

Forgot about that with Shredder's attack. It should have done an additional 2d8 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 damage, right?

Reflex save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
The damage doesn't quite drop the leader by Shredder
Already reeling from the damage done by the plucky dinosuar, the leader drops his now greasy weapon and is left staring in horror at his halves as Urktar spits him right down the middle.

Continuing his inspirational battle hum Thran advances closer to the combat

Unsure if the Dryad did anything last round...but trying to appeal again in case another attempt will matter

Diplomacy to try to the Dryad to do something: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

" ..pleeeeeaase?"

Tere moves past the bisected kobold leader and hurls a javelin at one of the blinded band beyond!

Javelin to red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Javelin damage, incl. sneak attack vs. blinded foe: 1d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (2, 4) = 12

If it's still standing, it has two points of bleeding damage as well.

Shredder (assuming black is dead, as his token is still on the map) bounces up to the red kobold, and sees about disemboweling it.

magic talon vs Red w/ Allied Offensive: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 16 magic slashing: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 2d8 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + (6, 4) = 17

We did use the token, right?
Without the token, 14 to hit, and 7 damage

Alaric moves through the trees while drawing his scimitar.
Double move due to difficult terrain

With only these few enemies left and the dryad still to act, the token seems like overkill.

Also forgot to add the inspiration bonuses to Tere's javelin attack--attack roll is actually 24, and damage roll is 13 HP.

The Twinhorn Allies grant you 2d8 bonus damage on your next successful attack! (Varanog, Argenta, Thran, Alaric)
That's alot of bonus to keep track for now.
You used one token. This is the second one. I don't see anyone declaring use of token yet so I'm assuming its not used yet.
Other then Shredder that is.

Thran manages to persuade the Dryad.
Yes I forgot her action, she was going to prone the leader before he got split in half.

Tere takes advantage of the blinded kobolds predicament and lances a javelin into one of its heart!
Alaric makes his way through and has Shredder go after the remaining ones!
Moving Shredder to Yellow since red would have being dead.

With a gesture, the Dryad flexes her fingers and the surrounding vines reaches out and yanks hard! Pulling both kobolds from their feet.

Making up for missed action.

glitterdust gives a save at the end of each round to come out of blindness. FYI

Alaric says simply, ”Surrender. Or die. Your choice. ”

Varanog will continue berating them for their obvious poor life choices

Will save? 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

I'll call this combat over since there's no way they'll survive this round. lol

With the Kobolds struggling to keep up their futile defiant act, the group has them put down when it's obvious that they will not surrender at this point.

The Dryad turns to looks at you.
"Thank you for your help." The dyrad bows to you. "My name is Enzial, and these kobolds have been harvesting wood and animals at a dangerously high rate. Ever since the white dragons hatched new wyrmlings, the kobolds have hunted in earnest. We haven't seen dragons until maybe the last century."

Heading up to the Dryad Argenta smiles at the mention of dragons, Dragons you say, well it just so happens we are lookign for the resting place of an old dwarf hero who fought a famous dragon in these parts. I dont suppose you could help us find it?

"Foolish kofe."

Varanog allows the party to rummage through the corpses, as well has handle the Dryad conversation as he quietly contemplates how to save the others from the Whites.

"A new batch of wyrmlings, well, that cannot be good." says Alaric. "Grathatonhakis's descendants, I would assume?"

"Well, perhaps we could aid each other in our quests. We seek the dragon's lair... a foolhardy goal, I am sure, but one we are bound to reach. To get there, I would presume we'll need to go through these dragons... so, an alliance, perhaps?"

Urktar croons to his new blade as he cleans the blood and viscera from it. "Well struck for your first blow. Bodes well for your future, my sweet Black Death..." He then looks up at the party. "Let me know when it's time to slaughter GrabTheKhakis' kids. We're ready."

"We'd better heal up here, while we have a minute or two."

Thran takes out his wand of cure light wounds

"Who's hurt?

clw for the first person who says he's hurt: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"It may only be a scratch, but thanks..."
I'll mark 2 charges off Urktar's happy stick (i.e. CLW wand). No need to roll the second CLW; he's only down 2HP after the first, so he's full after the second charge.

So Talk to Fey rulers or go Kill dragons.
Still have an aid token to decide on.
I'd like to pass it on soon.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

A sudden gust of wind rushes through the area, riming the trees and rocks with frost that resembles faces of the region’s fey monarchs. “Your Society has requested our aid, and we have agreed to support your endeavors. Carry our token, call upon us in your time of need, and ensure the dragons prey upon this region no more.” With that, the icy faces melt away, and each of you find a tiny crown of pine needles nearby.

Table GMs, the Fey Allies condition on page 18 is in effect.

Let's go dragon hunting friends

I suggest we pass the aid tolen on to a 1-2 table.

"So, ok, let's go and kill some bad kobolds or something?" says Alaric.

Let's just use the aid token immediately on the start of the encounter for inspire, and hand it off.

Sounds good.

"Now that sounds like fun. Let us hunt!" Urktar sheathes Black Death, pulls out his bow, and starts heading off before hesitating. He leans closer to Argenta. "Ummm, which way to the dragons?"

"Dragon slaying sounds like the making of an Epic tale!"

Thran exclaims before muttering

"...even if I have to tell it myself"

Using it in the first round we can actually hit stuff and then passing it on sounds like a good plan

Agreed.

Tere retrieves his javelin from the body of the kobold and takes the lead, alert for traps and snares.

Guided by Enzial, the dryad guides the pathfinders through a hidden trail, avoiding the kobold sentries and their traps.
However with the biting cold threatening to freeze the group before they reach their destination, the group pushes on with the aid of the cold weather gear given by the Twinhorn tribe.
Give me a Fort Save DC 15 or be fatigued for the next encounter and take 1d6 ⇒ 1 nonlethal damage. Gain a +5 to check due to cold weather gear.

The tunnels bear numerous carved petroglyphs and stylized murals, depicting significant scenes in the kobolds’ history and distant mythology. Among these are images of a humanoid with hair on her head, a blade in one hand, and patterns that suggest armor covering her body.

The party can also find among these a rounded cartouche containing several Dwarven letters and words.

Map updated.

fort, gear: 1d20 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 5 = 8

Varanog quietly bears the cold... muttering about the stupidity of freezing to death for the whites....

"bunch of gibberish..."

fort save, Alaric: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
fort save, Shredder: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"You doing on there, Varanog? You look a little pale." Alaric pulls out his scroll of endure elements. "Need a little help?"

linguistics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"i will not decline. Thanksss you."

Alaric casts the scroll on the kobold, hoping that the spell has some affect on the tired caster.
