Round 4, Init 13

"You can't stop the Scalebane!"

Zilch jabs at the kobold with his longspear.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 to hit;
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 damage.

AC 16; HP 9/16

stabilize 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

stabiize 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Aodan strikes the Kobold with acid again. Cadrana manages to stop bleeding and Zilchus misses again.

Round 4, Init 11

Davros' wounds slowly start to close up as he takes a step over and fires a frosty ray at the kobold.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

He manages to hit the kobold in the shoulder causing it to ice over a bit.

Round 4, Init 9

The kobold steps forward and casts another spell. Laughing at Zilchus' pathetic attempts to hit her.

Her spectral staff follows Adoan continuing it's assualt.

Melee: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

It seems to have trouble tracking the half elf as it swings wide of it's intended target.

Round 4, Init 7

Nighttail reaches down and touches the wounded Candrana with her wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Candrana's heavier wounds close and her eyes flutter open.

14 Aodan (@9)
13 Zilchus (@9)
12 Candrana (@6)
11 Davros (@8)
9 Kobold and minions (kobold -13)
7 Nighttail (Nighttail -22, Hak -7)

Bold is up and Candrana is back in the fight.

Round 5;Init 12

Candrana blinks, groans, and picks up her rapier, then stands.

Round 5, Init 13

Zilch seems thrilled to be in solo combat with the King of the Dragons.

"You've met your match, Scaled One!" Zilch says, feinting with his longspear, then stepping back to strike again.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 to hit;
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage.

If he hits:"HA! Now you've been Zilched!"

AC 16; HP 9/16

Round 5, Init 14
Unable to recognize the enchantment attacking him, and uncertain about what the spectral staff can do, Aodan tries to leap around it to get a better shot at Zilch's dance partner.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Trying to avoid the staff.

"Your evil skeletons are gone. Stop the evil spell."

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 161d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

9/16 hp

Aodan does some impressive tumbles and rolls only to see the strange enchanted staff does not even seem to keep up with his movements. Zilchus thinks he has the kobold this time but his attack is deflected by some unseen magical force. Candrana picks up her rapier and gets back on her feet.

Round 5, Init 11

Davros' magic continues to slowing stitch up his wounds. He continues with his frost magic.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

His shot goes wide this time as he curses under his breath.

7 rounds of IH left.

Round 5, Init 9

The kobold steps forward and swings it's staff and Zilchus.

Melee: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Apparently that was just a warm up swing as it missed. The magical quarter staff continues it's attack on Aodan.

Melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

This time it connects to deliver a heavy blow to Aodan's head before disappearing. The world starts to become a blur as Aodan struggles to stay on his feet.

Round 5, Init 7

Nighttail uses the wand to heal some of her many wounds.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Then directs Hak to attack the kobold. "Go get her boy!"

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Hak rushes over and manages to bite down on the kobolds arm as it was taunting Zilchus.

::::::::::::::::Round 6:::::::::::::::::

13 Zilchus (@9)
12 Candrana (@6)

Bold is up.

Round 6, Init 13

Zilch continues his mostly singlehanded combat with the King of the Dragons.

"You got lucky last time, Scaly Toes!" Zilch says, jabbing agai after 5' stepping towards potential flankage.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 to hit;
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 damage.

If he hits:"HA! Now you've been Zilched!"

AC 16; HP 9/16

Round 6, Init 14

Woozy on his feet, Aodan pulls a bolt tipped in black, draws his bow, chants softly, and fires...

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 141d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 (Point Blank, into Melee)

...before tumbling down to an unconscious, bleeding lump.

( -1/16 hp)

Round 6, Init 12

Candrana bounds in front of the half-elf to protect him, stabbing at the nasty necrobold.
rapier+ flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 211d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Aodan fires off one more acid splash as he collapses to the floor. The acid burns the kobolds face and it falls to the floor. It thrashes wildly for a moment before going still.

End of combat. Sorry no one got Zilched this time.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nighttail pokes Aodan with her wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

She then heals herself and Hak.

CLW Hak: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

CLW Nighttail: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW Nighttail: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

CLW Hak: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Nighttail looks around at the group. "Best to heal up now. Roaghaz's chamber is just ahead. When we get to the fork in the tunnel stay to the left. Going to the right will just take us to the egg chamber and I do not wish to upset the guards. They can be really protective."

Davros should fully heal on his own from the IF.

Zilch touches himself, looking at his own wounds after (nearly) singlehandedly defeating the HighPriest of Dragons in (near) solo combat.

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Healing
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Healing with CLW wand

hp 15/16

When he finishes with his own healing and after seeing Nighttail fix the rest, Zilch will search the High Dragon Priest for loot.

Cast Detect Magic. Hand to Davros for IDing, if anything.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Spellcraft (Davros)
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 Spellcraft (Davros)

Davros explains that the cloak is a cloak of resistance +1. The three potions are cure light wounds.

Aodan is currently @4 and Candrana is @6

"Little bugger's glow staff knocked me on my butt." And worse. "Tricky, skeleton calling, 'bold." These little creatures should not be wielding such significant power. Not a good omen for these lands.

"Coupl-a taps of the stick would be good." 2 charges from the CLW wand to bring him to full.

The half-elf will take up position watching the tunnel, just in case the leader Nighttail indicated was beyond decides to be proactive.

Zilch offers the cloak around, but mostly to Candi.

"Here you go...this will keep you warm when you're nappin'..." Zilch says. ...while the rest of us are fighting.

He offers a potion to Davros and Aodan as well, keeping one for himself.

He heals up Aodan and Candi too. It's tough work being a zilch.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 healing - A
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 healing - A
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 healing - C
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 healing - C
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 healing - C

* * *

Zilch gathers himself and looks ready to move up the tunnel...and combat with the Scaled King.

Davros rolls his shoulders a couple of times, wincing in obvious pain. He gladly takes the proffered potions and looks at it. "Eh, somewhat tempted to drink it now, but I am feeling that whatever lies ahead will be more, eh..., challenging, no? Aodan, Candrana... you well enough to continue?"

I'm back!

Candrana smiles as most of her wounds heal. "I think I'm ready." Welcome back!!!

Zilch's attention has the half-elf feeling even better, only a few scratches left to bother him at all. (15/16 hp! Whoot!)

"Am now." Thanks to the... He takes the proffered potions as a realization hits him. "Huh."

He strikes like a bearded one. Swaggers like a bearded one. Brags like a bearded one. Calls forth magical healing more than most bearded ones could. So that's what I was supposed to be? The half-elf shudders. He distracts himself with the task at hand.

"Oh? An' this one is dead?" He gestures to the fallen staff wielder and skeleton commander. "Don't need to talk, do we?" If no one objects (any information we need?), he'll finish her off, just to make sure before turning to the next task. He looks at Nighttail, the impressive scale with the impressive mount.

"Αν απαλλαγούμε φυλή σας από το συνετό ηγέτη , ίσως μπορείτε να τους φέρει σε ένα πιο ακμάζον μέλλον ; Μακριά από σύγκρουση με αυτούς τους ανθρώπους"

"Yeah. Time to end the nasty 'bolds. An' if the big guy is next..." He chants softly, just a bit.

Arcane Fail: 1d100 ⇒ 79 (10% Low is always bad)
Casts Gravity bow.

"Somehow, I think he knows we're comin. Hasn't stopped us before, has it?" He shrugs, willing to move ahead and be a target if/when others are ready.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Nighttail shares some words with Aodan in Draconic before Aodan finishes off the the unconscious kobold.

The party heads down the tunnel and follows Nighttail's directions to Roaghaz's chamber.

"Stop! Wait! Hold on a second!" Zilch says putting a finger to the wall and drawing it down. He puts the finger to his nose, then in his mouth.

"It's oil! The walls are oiled!" Zilch smacks his lips. "Are they going to set fire to the walls?"

Zilch steps back a bit out of the oiled area.

"Step back, these ol' 'bolds won't know what hit them! They're getting zilched!"

Zilch explains his plan.

Everyone needs to move back out of the oily area. We'll alight it on fire, Zilch will blow the smoke down the tunnel until the fires burn themselves out.

Zilch waits to hear opinions on his completely genius idea.

"Oiled?" Candrana backs out of the oiled area. "You think it's a fire trap? Then by all means, turn it back on them."

The half-elf looks at the oiled tunnel. Is this the flammable, lantern-lighting kind of fuel? Or would it be more like the butter-fat used to grease my fingers? A trap of flames? Or a greasy slide to an unknown fate? "Dunno."

Hearing the Elf's suggestion, he looks around.
"Wait. Kinda in the middle of it."

Seeing the line behind him - Elf, mounted 'bold, turbaned foreign slave guy, and the beard - looks a bit backed up. "In or out. Time to choose."

If the kobold will back up, Aodan will ease back behind Zilch and whatever spark he has. If not, he'll hurry forward, trying to get out of the oil.

After people move out of the danger zone, and if Zilch can borrow a light, he will light the oil on fire.

Zilch prances and blows, flapping his arms and calling to smoke to go away from him, down the passage.

Cast Alter Winds, pushing smoke away. Light breeze down the tunnel after oil is lit. Lasts 2 hours.

Presuming it works: "See that? They've been zilched by the Scalebane! Ol' Scalebane is too crafty for them!"

Zilch beams.

Nighttail looks at the oil coating the walls after Zilchus points it out the the rest of the group. "It looks to be lantern oil and it is not normally here. I like Zilhcus' plan as it will at the very least remove the threat of being burned alice."

The rest of the group moves behind Zilchus as he sets fire to the oil. The fire burns high and bright and a bit of smoke comes off the top which is blown down the tunnel by Zilhcus' spell. After about a minute the flames sputter out and it is safe to proceed again.

"Nice catch, Zilch" Candrana says begrudgingly. perhaps he isn't quite so useless after all.

Candrana heads down the tunnel.

Zilch watches the smoke blow away, into where he suspects the 'bolds are. He purses his lips appreciating his own zilchiness.

Zilch waits until the others move forward, then follows along as the rest move forward.

Moved yahoos on map. Let's rock this.

As Candrana leads the way down the tunnel she stops short just around the corner as her eyes spot several trip wires in the area.

Candrana nods for the half elf to come look at the traps. "can you fix those?"

Happy to have this action wait until Aodan has had a chance to do stuff.

Zilch eyes the tripwires that Candi found before he did, amazingly.

"Oh, good eyes, Candi! Way to zilch that!" Zilch commends, picking up a hefty rock. "Now step back and let me see if I can zilch those wires for ya."

Zilch heaves a rock from at least 11' back.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Ranged attack.

"Zilchus, must you?" Davros says in a whisper, rolling his eyes.

Aodan slowly moves up, looking closely at the wires, pulling out his hooks and picks and blades, reaching gingerly to see if he can undo what Candrana pointed out.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Aodan applies just a little to much pressure and triggers the trap. Almost instantly a dozen vials drop down from various places in the ceiling and burst into flames as they hit the ground. They only manage to singe the party as there original purpose was to turn the tunnel into a blazing inferno.

Everyone take 4 splash damage.

"Zilchus, must you?" Davros says in a whisper, rolling his eyes.

C'mon Davros, don't make your first post in 3 days and have it be short *and* a criticism of Zilch? Do something. Push or help. If your posts are going to be infrequent, make them count.

* * *

Zilch grumps as the vials fall.

"Oh, you'll do better next time, Aodan!" Zilch encourages while branding the wand again.

Candi: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 healing
Aodan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 healing
Davros: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 healing
Zilch: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 healing

Zilch checks to see that Nighttail can heal herself and readies to move on.

"Whoops."

He cringes back at the others and before he can stop himself, he mumbles. "Thank Sarrenrae that Zilch is so..."

Wait! This is what I've come to? Grateful to the mouth and the Qadiran's god for saving us from kobolds? I think hate the scaly buggers.

Grumbling, he keeps his eyes peeled forward as the bearded one works his magic with the wand.

Assuming the fires die down during the healing.... When the flames flicker out, he'll move forward bow drawn, deferring to Candrana if she prefers to lead.

Zilch gathers himself and looks ready to move up the tunnel...and combat with the Scaled King.

Moved yahoos on the map.

At the top of the rough-hewn steps is a large cave, the floor strewn with fresh straw and a bit of smoke has collected at the ceiling. The bones of many different creatures, animal and humanoid both, hang on the walls. Two boulders bisect the cave, obscuring what the other half holds.

A green scaled kobold steps out from behind the boulders. He is dressed in a fine dark purple robe trimmed in red. Two scroll cases hang from his belt and he holds what looks to be a wand made of bone. He snarls at the group before he before speaking in clear common.

“You think you can trespass in the lair of the Blood Vow Tribe with impunity? I am Roaghaz, and I serve the great Lord Aeteperax! He rewards his supplicants for ferocity and faithfulness. We shall add your bones to those hanging on these walls, and our great lord shall sup on your flesh!”

::::::::::Round 1:::::::::::

21 Davros
17 ?
15 Nighttail
13 Candrana
8 Roaghaz
8 Aodan
6 Zilchus

Bold is up! Lets get this 5 star party started.

Davros steps forward into the charnel cave, drawing forth his dagger as he walks. Upon placing the Kelishite dagger at the ready, Davros imbues the blade with a portion of his arcane will, ensuring that the blade with strike true.

Davros expends 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant his dagger +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute

With a slight arcane gesture and a cry of "ພະລັງງານທີ່ ອາກາດຫນາວ!" Davros lets loose a focused beam of cold from his outstreached index finger, aimed at the green scaled trap-dragon.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Recovering quickly Davros calls out, "Eh, that was a warning shot, you camel-groomer! Leave this place now in the name of Imperial Taldor." Imperial Taldor? I guess if I'm going to lie, better lie big.

Bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Roaghaz watches as the ray of frost energy goes flying past. "Ahhh a volunteer. Σκότωσε ότι ένα!"

As Roaghaz barks out in draconic, four kobolds come out from behind the boulder spears at the ready. They rush forward to surround Davros and defend their chief.

Round 1, Init 17

Melee Blue: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Melee Black: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Melee Red: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Three of the kobold's stab at Davros with their spears. One only manages to hit the wall next to Davros, but the other two strike true.

Round 1, Init 15

Nighttail watches as Davros gets surrounded by kobold. "I will try and make a path and rescue your friend. Try and focus on Roaghaz, he is a powerful spell caster and not to be underestimated." Nighttail drives Hak forward and her dino companion attempts to take a bite out of one of the kobolds.

Bite vs yellow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Hak gets the kobold in his jaws and shakes the poor creature around a bit before dropping the now limp kobold to the floor. Nighttail strikes at one of the other kobolds taking advantage of her flanking position.

Melee vs Blue: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 + 2 = 11

Hak's thrashing throws off her strike and the kobold remains standing.

rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Candrana rushes forward and stumbles as she attempts to strike Roaghaz.

Round 1, Init 8

Roaghaz steps away from Candrana and points his wand down the tunnel. In the blink of an eye most of the tunnel and the entrance to the small cavern are covered in thick webbing.

Round 1, Init 6

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Reflex

"Ah c'mon!" Zilchus says, looking at the sticky muck around him. "It's okay to admit you're afraid of me! I get it! You've heard of the mighty Scalebane and don't want to face me!"

Zilch, now angry, tries to break himself free.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 CMB vs. DC 13

Zilch grunts in frustration, unable to free himself this round.

"What the?!?!?

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Avoiding the initial blast, he slowly picks his way through the web, carefully reaching and stretching and otherwise contorting himself to avoid as many strands as possible...

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

...until he finally slips out of it.

Bow in one hand, he draws his short sword with the other as he approaches the wand wielding 'bold.

Round 2, Init 21

Seeing that Aodan has moved into an advantageous position with his short sword drawn, Davros swings at the black scaled kobold.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 23 base attack bonus + enhancement bonus + flanking
Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Critical Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 If confirmed.

"Take that vile, eh, dragon-thing."

Aodan manages to avoid the webbing and finds his way through it. Zilchus is not so lucky and finds himself trapped back in the tunnel.

Reflex Hak: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Reflex Nighttail: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Both Nighttail and her dino avoid the webbing. Davros takes advantage of Aodan's positioning and drives his dagger into the kobold's throat. It grasps the wound as it falls to the floor and bleeds out.

Round 2, Init 17

Following their command the kobolds continue to attack Davros.

Blue: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Red: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

A few near misses, but Davros remains unharmed this time around.

Round 2, Init 15

Hak lunges at the closest kobold in a flurry of tooth and claw.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Claw: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15

Claw2: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Hak rips another kobold to shreds as Nighttail looks for the best way to get Hak out of the webbing.

Round 2, Init 13

Candrana quick steps after the kobold in the dress, using both swords this time, though one appears to be nothing but show.

rapier: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
shortsword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Roaghaz laughs as he easily dodges Candrana's attacks. He grabs his cloak and suddenly his teeth seem to grow larger.

Round 2, Init 8

Roaghaz steps nest to the boulder and snaps his jaws at Candrana attempting to bite her with his enhanced jaws.

Bite: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1 1 NL

While his teeth seem fearsome he seems the lack the jaw strength to do any serious damage.

Zilch, now angrier, tries to break himself free.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 CMB vs. DC 13

Zilch cheers as he breaks free...

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 CMB vs. DC 13

...only to become stuck again.

"AH C'MON!! I'M THE PIDDLESPOTTING SCALEBANE!! LEMME AT THEM"

Round 2, Init8

Aodan circles around to get a bead on the big scalebane, scrambling to avoid its bite and claws.

Acrobatics (avoid AoO): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

He positions himself across from the Elf and swings with his blade.

Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 151d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Round 3, Init 21

Davros, pack with hubris from his last attack, swings at the remaining kobold.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Better hurry, Zilchus, before we finish this one off and you miss out on all the glory."
And with that Davros moves a short step closer to the kobold engaged with the two elves.
