1 shot, Serenity Hollow (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Once downside, Eileen casts 2 CMW on Uke.

Healing: 4d8 + 8 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 5) + 8 = 27

Once downside, Eileen casts 2 CMW on Uke.

Standing atop the roof, Thandir ROARED in frustration. "COWARD!" He bellowed after the retreating creature. Looking down at the priests who had come, the fuming half-orc put his axe back upon his back, and thanks to the magic infusing him, easily climbed down with Uke.

As his comrade was healed, he began to cast lessor restoration on Uke.

LR Uke: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"What was that?" He growled. "It fought like a coward! It kept flying, and once I was able to get to grips on it, it ran away!" It was clear from his tone of voice that he was seething at the injustice of being denied a fair fight.

There will be ground bound enemies still ahead.

'Fought like a coward? She was brilliant, did nothing but play with us. If we were a threat it was by accident,' looking from the roaring orc, to his fellow investigators, Vaunu asks, "Do any of you have any way of tracking her? If not we probably should go to bed, tomorrow is going to be a long day."

I'm not complaining. It's Thandir who is frustrated. ;) That was an interesting encounter, as it forced the party to really think about what we could do. From Uke climbing the building to Belegar making perfect use of his recall ability to cast the spell needed. It was well done

With Uke downstairs, the initiates both cast 1 more clw on him, before you part for the night.

2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10 Brings you back to 30.
I reckon Thandir meant to do lr on Belegar, the one with 3 con dmg.

The rest of the night passes without a hitch.
Everyone recovers 5 HP from sleeping. Jurgan recovers from 1 point of dex dmg.

Jurgan's anxiety eventually calms down and, the educated mind that he is, is best off with a good night rest.

Jurgan storms back to the inn. "Leave me be. I'm off to rest!"

Indeed! So, anyone else with stat damage? If so, the next morning:

Lessor Restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

GM how much dex dmg I have?

After resting, 1.

When you gather downstairs the next morning, few patrons are there.
A tavern maid (not Thandir's crush) is cleaning some of the unoccupied tables, while Catarina is tidying some shelves behind the counter.

What new lead will you follow today?
You have the kobolds and the wolves, the two more troublesome rumors.

Still annoyed with loosing the previous day, Vaunu sips his coffee, "We should check out the kobolds, I at least speak their language, and they don't fly."

After the Attack...

Finding himself awakened upon the ground, Uke surmised from the reactions of his compatriots that the foul undead creature had made its' escape, somehow. "I know not what it was, other than it was some kind of unnatural flying blood-drinker with sharp fangs and claws, or where it went. It will need to feed again- perhaps we shall catch it then, Kami-willing?"

Uke does offer his thanks to both Eileen and her initiates before they leave. "May you all be blessed by the Kami's favor."

Uke will also make sure to get his sling and remaining ammo back from Thrandir.

The Following Day...

Still annoyed with loosing the previous day, Vaunu sips his coffee, "We should check out the kobolds, I at least speak their language, and they don't fly."

Giving this strange concoction known as "Coffee" a try, Uke will add, "In my travels, I have traded with the ones you call "kobolds" before. Perhaps they will be more at ease with those bearing scales as they do?"

Since there weren't objections there, to the farmsteads and kobolds it is.

After a nice breakfast and some cafeine, you set out North to the farmsteads.
------------------

The farmsteads are a handful of outlying farms, with corn, pumpkins, grain, tatoes and fruits. The nearest one holds cattle and chickens.

When you get near the edge, a mere 100ft from entering the forest, you can see a hill, wherein the outlines of a cave are visible.

Like the saying before, it is barricaded, with a single small sized door present.

Perception rolls please.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 'Hhhmmmm, a hill, with a cave, how interesting.' Vaunu points, "Do you think that may be the door?"

Before heading out, Thandir buys five Cold Iron chakrams and ten regular ones. Frustrated by his inability to do anything outside of axe-reach, he was determined not to repeat the fiasco. In a flash of insight he also buys silver blanch, because the merchant said that fey hated silver and while the woman was probably a demon, he didn’t like fey anyways.

120 gold spent. He can now throw things besides quivers full of arrows!

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Sadly, Thandir was too engrossed with practicing (or pretending?) to throw his new toys, so he wasn’t really paying attention.

Said merchant for the blanch would be alchemist Whescer, one of the council.

"No no, sir half-orc, you misheard me. Fey hate cold-iron.
But silver coating could be useful regardless."
------------------------------

Approaching the forest's edge further, nearing the cave, Uke sees a pair of bows notching arrows, not yet releasing, as if their wielders were waiting to see what you were doing.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Belegar notices what Uke sees.

Belegar notices what Uke sees.

Yeah, but Belegar sees the heck out of it!

Belegar narrows his eyes, "Archers ahead, bows knocked."

Then he raises a hand and calls out to the archers, "Hello, archers. We seek to parlay with the noble dragon-kin of this land!"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

For some reason, Belegar's words don't come across.
Two arrows fly.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 1d6 ⇒ 4
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 1d6 ⇒ 1
A small arrow hits Belegar in the foot.

does Vaunu see any kobolds?

'True, he didn't speak draconinc' Resisting the urge to smile, Vaunu calls out toward where he heard the voice.

No, as they are hidden by the barricade, save for high perception.
14 didn't make it.

'That's a really good question.' Smiling, Vaunu looks up at his taller companions, "They want to know, I quote "Why pink-skins want talk to chief?" What would you like me to tell them?"

"I am tired of these endless chases we should roast them all." Jurgan looks at Vaunu, "Why are these kobolds important. We found the source of the kidnappings do these creatures even matter anymore?"

His jaw dropping, Vaunu then looks from the dwarf to the elf to the half orc to the lizard-man. Closing his mouth he then whispers, concerned that the kobolds would hear. "Is that what you want me to tell them, 'Never mind, oh were going to attack'?"

Jurgan shakes his head and then shouts something at the kobolds.

Intimidate: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

GM I have equipped my pearl of power this morning

Glaring at the dwarf, Vaunu asks quietly:

He then looks at the others and nods toward Jurgan. "He's demanding to see the chief, I'm curious to see how that goes for him. Since most of us can't even see who were talking to."

He turns to Uke, "Your a lizard, or something like one, can't you speak to these things? This dwarf is going to bollix everything."

As Jurgan makes a bold demand, the reaction is not what he expected.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 1d6 ⇒ 1
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 1d6 ⇒ 6
Two arrows fly from the barricade, one hitting him -also- in the foot.

”Are we still talking or shall we kill them? It seems like you both keep getting shot when you talk. But if your diplomacy is going well I don’t want to stop you.”

"Halfblood....ATTACK!"

Jurgan takes out his warhammer and gets ready to advance on the barricade.

Ok, peacetalks are over, it seems. We'll get to combat tonight.

The kobolds are behind heavy cover, with the barricade blocking off sight to whatever is behind it, arrow slits on their end.

In response to Jurgan's 'ATTACK!', one of the kobolds blows a small horn, which echoes into the cave.
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The barricade, round 1

Belegar & Jurgan
Vaunu
---------
Kobolds
---------
Uke
Thandir

Jurgan urges the others on. "Knock that barrier down!"

Jurgan snaps his fingers three times after incanting his spell. Two more images of the handsome dwarf appears.

Cast Mirror Image. Images: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Vaunu, you can go post ahead if you want.

'Why are we attacking them.' Looking from Jurgan to Belegar, "You knock it down." Vaunu gestures towards Belegar's foot then to Jurgan's "One shot is luck, two is marksmanship. If they shot you in the feet, it could have just as easily been the heart. I'm not running at an enemy in a concealed position that can shoot that well, just because you got your dwarven pride hurt being an ass. You want to charge them. Be my guest."

Vaunu is delaying

Botting Belegar.

Belegar shrugs with a sigh.
"This, my wayang friend, is going to complicate things."

Belegar starts a inspiring verse, about bags and boots made of reptilian leather, aiming to bolden the urge to fight.
Rage song up.
--------------------
Kobolds

The kobolds must have a stroke of luck, as both their arrows hit the scholar.
----------------------
Vaunu, Thandir, Uke

Unless they've got point blank shot, there's no difference between 70ft away and 20ft away.

Grimacing at the two arrows the dwarf begins to fume. "This my young waylang is how diplomacy works among the lesser races. If you think you are going to charm them with your words by all means walk into their lair and meet with their chieftain. I will stay out here!

Losing patience, Thandir called upon the blessing of war [ooc]+10ft movement[/b] and brandishing his axe charged forward!

Angry half-orc advancing upon the barricade...kobolds beware.

Vaunu & Uke

'Hmmmm. three images, they hit the right one.' Vaunu looks from the unseen kobold archers to the charging Thandir, "I'm not running out there." he then moves an stands behind Jurgan using him as a human Dwarf shield.

Vaunu takes cover behind his Dwarf meatshield.

Uke shakes his head.
"These kobolds are more territorial than the folk in the tavern said they were."

Not willing to let Thandir go in alone, he draws his sword as he advances as well.
==========================

The barricade, round 1

Belegar & Jurgan
---------
Kobolds
---------
Vaunu, Uke, Thandir

As Uke strides forward to back up Thrandir, the Nagajii Samurai peers intently at the two Kobold archers hiding behind that barricade. Clearly those two cannot be reasoned with; I can only hope that their fellows behind that door are more willing to talk and not be so angered by the sight of pink-colored skin...

Belegar draws his sword and races up to the barricade.

The barricade, round 2

Belegar advances, joining Thandir and Uke in storming the barricade.

Jurgan
---------
Kobolds
---------
Vaunu, Uke, Thandir

Jurgan moves up with the half orc acting as his pin cushion

With Jurgan coming closer, Vaunu's left without cover.
---------
Kobolds

With the adventurers closing in, both kobolds take out a few special arrows.
Cyan vs Belegar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Green vs Thandir: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6
The first kobold takes a good aim, planting an arrow in Belegar's leg.

Belegar, fort roll DC 17 please.
---------
Thandir, Uke, Vaunu

'They keep hitting stuff, and we keep moving forward. But we call them the stupid beasts. Seeing his meat shield Jurgan move forward, Vaunu rolls his eyes and follows behind the Dwarf drawing his hand crossbow and loading it. Keeping low, he attempts to identify the location of the shooters. "Well, at least the buggers aren't flying."

Move action, staying 5 ft behind Jurgan. Does he see the kobolds taking '10' (22) on perception?
