As everyone moves the carts a wire that no one noticed snaps. Valymer and Mez are able to cover their ears in time as a thunder stone lets out a loud boom. Alika and Gennor get caught off guard and a deafened (this last until you leave this room.) So what shall you do now that you have loaded the oil into the cart?
Blasted Kobolds and their traps. Are you all right? Drogan asks, looking at Alika and Gennor. Seeing that they don't respond, he asks again, louder.
And with something that loud, it's sure to have alerted every single living thing in the whole cave to our presence.
Gennor uses the tip of an arrow to scratch Now What? into the floor of the mine- away from the carts of course.
"What? I can't hear you!"
Valymer follows Mez into the next room.
Mez's sign language is easy enough to understand. Alika follows Mez and Valymer, although she seems to be scared and hesitant.
After several minutes of walking down the hallway there are slight slants as you are walking. May I get a perception check from the party.
Alika seems to be confused by the trap.
Drogan is able to notice that there is a large pit in the middle of the walk way and warn the party about it.
Drogan will take out his rope and hand one end to Alika, keeping the other end himself. He explains to those who can hear him that he plans to go over first, then hold the rope at that end to make it easier for others to cross. Assuming no one objects, he will start to put his plan into action, making his way across the narrow edge of the pit.
Valymer follows Drogan around the pit. "Someone should make a bridge before one of us falls in."
You both make is across with no effort at all.
When others are safely at the other side, Alika follows her comrades
Mez will slip from the rope, and stumble below.
Gennor lowers down the end of his 50ft. of rope to Mez and helps him out of the pit, he then crosses the pit himself.
After the party gets across the pit.
This enormous cavern extends upward for at least 100 feet, climbing high into the bowels of the mountain. Glowing blue-green lichens creep across the rough walls and man-sized stalagmites protruding from the ground in this area, their faint light growing and then diminishing again every few seconds. The illumination occasionally highlights small flecks of silver, which glitter in the face of the great western wall of the cave. Several cables hang down from the edge of a wide hollow within that wall. The hollow penetrates deep into the west face of the cavern and begins about 20 feet above where you stand. The air here feels cool and damp.
"Alright, everyone but Mez, follow me."
Valymer leads the way.
Alika sneaks in shadows, scouting around, trying not to bee too far from others.
Gennor cautiously follows the elf, but a ways back just so they can't all be hit by one area attack, he looks around the cavern in an attempt to see what he can...
But still disoriented from the effects of the thuderstone, he cannot properly concentrate on his surrondings.
After the party walks into the room there is a yap and from some shadows a group of Kobold, (8) lead by a sorcerer jump out.
"Good job Mez! Well done.".
It is hard to tell if there is sarcasm in her voice.
"Joy, more Kobolds!" says Gennor only semi-sarcastically...
Inititive order:
1. Valymer
2. Gennor
3. Kobolds
4. Alika
5. Drogan
6. Mez
Valymer charges at the nearest kobold.
Realizing that the sorcerer is most likely the most dangerous target, he feels dealing with that threat first would be wise. Raising his voice, he sings out a Varisian Chant that he had learned to focus his magic through, to briefly cloud the mind of another.
The kobold falls dead as he gets sliced clean in two.
the remaining 7 will fire cross bows, one to each Valymer and Drogan get the last two. The Kobold begins to cast a spell.
all of the bolts wizz past the part.
The blade will barely miss the spell caster.
Drogan will run up to the Sorcerer and wrap his arms around him, trying to get a solid hold.
Alika moves to flank the kobold that is attacking Mez.
The Kobold Alika attacked falls dead and the Sorcerer gets grappled letting out a angry yap.
"Good thinking Dro! Don't let it free."
Round 2
Valymer moves toward the sorcerer and swings his curve blade at him.
The Kobold falls dead as well
Gennor turns and targets the kobolds, singing a Varisian lullaby, enchanted to put them into a deep slumber.
Two of them fall into a deep slumber.
Kobold time
The sorcoers concentration gets broken so his spell does not go off and this time he tries to break the grapple.
and fails
the remaining 3 awake will fire off their cross bows again after taking a step back.
and all miss
