"I got some steel here if anyone needs it!", Kharax calls out as he pulls out his longsword. He then uses his whip to distract the plant boy next to Alpha.

VVP-23

The vegepygmies attack, but neither can land a blow!
Maruf accepts the healing with a grunt and keeps clawing away!
Richard continues trying to prune one of the vegemites, but it seems his luck is failing him today.
Kharax pulls out his scroll of mage armor and uses one of the castings to appropriately protect himself.
Alpha keeps attacking the hammer wielding creature.
Alpha, Maruf, and Richard all miss, while Kharax armors himself!
The vegemite manages to claw Richard, while the hammer wielder misses!
Richard takes a flesh wound, but doesn't let it stop him. Instead of attacking the creature directly, he crouches and attempts to hook its legs out from under it with his sickle.
Richard sweeps the legs out form under the eastern vegepygmy, dodging its strike at the same time!
"HHHHRRRRRRRYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!" The Cobbler continues growling, spitting, and yelling nonsense as he attacks the vegepygmies without remorse. What the hell are they doing here anyways?
With his sword still drawn, Kharax swings it at a nearby plant creature. "Time to mow the lawn, 'eh Cobbla?"

"Bloody hell!", curses Kharax, dropping his whip to place a hand on the Cobbler.
"Damn, you hit hard!" Maruf yells as the Thorpygmy falls and his wounds are stitched back up.
Richard glances at Alpha's great blow - "smashing cabbages" slips into his mind, but obviously that won't make the story. Filing it away for later in his android mind, he slashes at the last creature sprawled on the ground before him.
Maruf and Richard stomp the prone vegemite, ending its plantlife!
Searcing the hammerwielder, you find 9 silverdisks, as well as the hammer turns out to be magical.
The other two have only rude clubs.
Searching the room turns up nothing of interest.
Richard steps back after the last creature is defeated, wary of standing too close to the Cobbler. He had never met anyone so foul tempered as the tiefling, and fighting off the dangers of the Black Hill was not improving his personality.
Quite the opposite, actually...
"Everyone ok?" He asks, trying not to single out the one he's most concerned about. Looking over himself, the notes the scratch he took, though it doesn't seem too serious.
Once the vegepigmies have been searched, he gestures to the magical hammer. "That's nice, but not really my style. Might be good as a thrown weapon in a pinch. Anyone else care to use it? If not, I'll hold onto it and we can can sell or trade it back in town."
"Keep it," the Cobbler growls.
"Too small to use at the smithy.", Kharax comments. "Here, lemme try and patch you up."
"Heh, gettin' better patchin up dem strange bodies.", he comments as Richard's wound is completely recovered.
"Well you're getting a lot of practice. Thanks."
Ready to move on, Richard suggests the next door down the hall. Readying his stungun this time, he listens at it, then opens it a crack, ready to shoot anything hostile.
"We can sell the item later. We should move on."
Richard moves to the southern dooor, finds it safe, and opens it. The air in this room is unusually warm and moist, with a thin, pale vapor of mist clinging to the ceiling, causing the lighted panels to diffuse and become muted. Condensation runs down the walls along with a riot of unusual brown and dull green vegetation. The moist, thick-stemmed plants and vines grow out of long earth-filled troughs along the wall, while a tall column of plant matter extends like a tree trunk from a circular planter in the middle of the room to spread a network of vines across the mist-shrouded ceiling. A low humming sound fills the air.
Inside, you see five vegepygmies. They all turn to attack!
"Gah! I'm sick of salad!"
Richard aims his gun at the closest target and pulls the trigger.
"How about roasted veggies, then?", Kharax smiles stepping behind the Cobbler and shooting out a wave of fire from his hands to scorch some of the vegepygmies.
Alpha will delay until there is room.
Alpha moves in, dodging the Cobbler, and the vegepygmies in the process. He will strike the same target as Maruf.
Maruf claws into a vegemite, leaving salad in his wake!
Richard tries to fire the stun gun, but it misfires!
Alpha moves into the room and squashes another!
Kharax moves into the room, releasing a gout of flame!
All of the remaining veggies dive out of the way!
The vegepygmies position themselves and attack with long spears, but only one manages to stab Maruf!
Using his whip, Kharax lashes out at a vegepygmy to distract it for his shield-bearing ally. "Get 'em Alpha!"
Drawing his sickle again, Richard moves in to the room and tries to jump inside the reach of one of the far creature's longspear.
"AHHHHHHHH! ROASTED VEGGIES!"
Richard darts past the vege-spears!
Maruf tears down another vegemite with his first claw.
Alpha steps forward to bash another vegepygmy.
Alpha flattens another vegemite!
The last vegeman tries to attack Richard, but misses!
Richard dodges the creature's attack and reposts, but not to injure, rather to assist a smashing blow from Alpha.
Chop!
The last vegepygmy is easily taken down!
Searching this room, you find nothing, but overgrown plants!
