"Perhaps we should tell the gillman we found the source of the smell and took care of it..."

The brawler takes up the shield and tests it weight and balance.
A very good shield, even if made of wood as she holsters her old shield and takes up this new one.

"He'll probably want to know, yes," Zinnifen agrees with Egg. He finishes rummaging around the cave for valuables before getting ready to follow the others back to the gillman.

Is the shield something that they could buy at the end of this?

Yes.

If no one esle can she can also use the longsword

"We need to press on- remember Janira is out there holding off the minotaur. The gillman doesn't seem to care about anything this deep in the cave."

Go ahead!

"Oh, gosh!" Zinnifen stops rummaging, looking distressed, "Surely she's escaped it by now?"

Eoran looks up from the corpse and over to the conversation. With what hopefully appears as confidence he interjects: "I'm sure she has Zinnifen. I do not believe that the society would send her with us if they were not completely confident in her abilities." He stands up and brushes dirt off his knees "But Skaf is probably right, we should get going.

Skaf scribbles some notes about the undead and the dead dhampir's ironic plans before they head out.

As you return to the main cave the gillman is no where to be seen.
Do you continue to the southwestern cave?

"I wonder where he went," Zinnifen muses, "I guess he really wasn't that interested in the caves."

The yellow gnome arches an eyebrow questioningly and points towards the unexplored tunnel.

Egg readies his bow, looking alertly, checking for tracks to see where the gillman went, and heads stealthily towards the SW cave...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Egg can´t see the gillman and has no clue where he went.

Iantha remains a bit behind Egg, not wanting to interrupt his silent movement, but she also keeps an eye out for the Gillman and any signs of his movement.
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Sorry for the radio silence, I've been out of town and busy the last few days. I should be getting home tonight or tomorrow, so I'll be returning to the usual level of quiet then.

I'll pretend I hadn't forgotten about my familiar utill just now

Eoran gets a look of someone suddely remembering something glaringly obvious before beginning to dig through the inner pockets of his robe. After a few moment he triumphantly pulls out a small, furry creature and holds her up high. "How about you do something useful for once" He says playfully as he lets the weasel down "Get going lazy-bones"

Snuffles looks somewhat annoyed at being disturbed, but starts sniffing around where the gilman sat.
She tries to track the gilman by scent (survival): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Unfortunately even the squirrel has no idea.

But as you go deeper you find a new cave you see two kobolds.

Snuffels is sorely offended at being called a squirrel

How hostile do the kobolds appear?

She takes up sword and shield and is ready for what comes next.

Make a sense motive check.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Skaf asks, "Does anyone know their language?" He readies a blast, just in case the kobolds turn hostile.

readied blast, ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
electricity damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Egg has never met a friendly kobold...so he fires an arrow at each one...

Flurry of Blows

Longbow: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 2 = 16

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Longbow: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 2 = 16

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

But I was going to... Eoran trails off as Eggs arrows fly, sighing and preparing to fight if the kobolds survive the onslaught.

And in a flurry of shots two dead kobolds fall impaled on arrows.
The persistent glow of the bluish fungi dimly lights the way deeper below the Kortos Mounts. The tunnels broaden to reveal a shallow river that bisects an immense tunnel stretching to the north and south. To the east a small passage exits the chamber at a steep incline.

"Good shots, Egg," Zinnifen says. "The only good kobold is a dead kobold."

The gnome fords the shallow stream and rifles through the kobolds pouches for anything of use. After that, he waits for the others to move on deeper into the caves.

Egg will continue on stealthily through the east exit after Zinnifen is done searching, eyes alert for creatures and/or traps...

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 (OK maybe not so stealthily)

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Trap: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 281d3 ⇒ 2
Zinifen moves into the water and suddenly he feels a stab in the foot.
Please make a fortitude save!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

"ZIFF!! Are you wounded?" Eoran yells as he leaps into the water. Wading towards the gnome while pulling out Janiras healing wand.

"It's just a flesh wound," he says as he pulls the dart out of his shoulder.

The metal spider reaches out with two legs and a rag and applies pressure to the wound.

*click* *whirr-rr?*

"The last time someone told me that, they'd had their arm hacked off" Eoran exclaims as he reaches Zinnifen. He packs away the wand and is about to apply some conventional first aid when he spots the construct crawling around. "Are you sure this thing knows what it's doing?"

The metal spider rotates its crystal lens towards Eoran.

*Brzzt!* *Fwee*

"No, not really," Zinnifen confesses, "He's designed for espionage not field medicine."

*SHIGH* "Here, let me..." Eoran offers a tentative finger in the direction of the clockwork spy, and feeling fairly confident there is no immediate threat of dismemberment, shoos it away from the wound. He then starts patching together the poor gnome.

Heal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

With tender hands the witch bandages Zinnifen.
You find 2 spears, 2slings, 2leather armors and some other items.
But nothing really of value.
Once you reach the corridor, following Egg you hear the following:
“As the legendary Gregaro Voth successfully battled the wild beasts in the deepest reaches of the Mwangi Expanse, so shall I defeat you, foul servant of Lamashtu!”

The light of the surface world above provides a welcome reprieve from the blue and green fungus of the caverns below, and light illuminates a stream whose water is hastened by runoff from a recent storm further up the mountains. A ledge to the west rises up to the nearby forest canopy.

Do I know, or do my years living in libraries tell me who this Voth character is?

Knw. History: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Prof. Librarian: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

@ Eoran You have heard that he was a pathfinder still in high regards.
He wrote the fundamental work on the tribes in the mawangi expanses.
But apart from that you do not remember anything.

"Hurry, hurry!" Zinnifen starts bouncing, "It's Janira!"

Egg will take a 5' step forward (should be between 85' and 90' so still short range) and fire a couple of arrows at the Minotaur.

Flurry of Blows; also have Precise Shot and Deadeye Bowman

Longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Eoran runs over to the log lying across the river, stopping on the northern bank of the river. Quietly preparing to throw foul magic at the beast.

I need to remember to check out the maps, I think this is the second or third time I go: "Wait, there's an X here?" xD

Ini Eroan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Actions in round one:
Egg will shoot his bow, and hit the mino badly
Eoran will try to cross the log. Roll acrobatics DC7 to cross it at HALF speed.

Zinnifen runs up the embankment to get a better vantage from which to rain down fiery pain on the minotaur.

"Janira!"

The game is a'foot she says as she moves double her movement towards the minotaur.

Skaf scurries forward as quickly as his little legs will carry him. "Hang in there, Janira!"

Double move.

Actions for round 1:
Botting Themyscira double move towards the log.
Janira tries to distract the minotaur.
attack whip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4, but fails.
The minotaur feels the sting of the arrows and moves toward them.
Str: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Crossing the river without problem

Iantha pushes into a dash, at least hoping to put a distraction between the Minotaur and the rest of her companions. She pulls a fist back as she nears the creature, letting her forward momentum continue, even as she comes to a halt, in a reckless punch.

I'm not always super great at judging distance, so this is meant to be a charge and I'm almost entirely sure that it falls within the distance for it, but on the off chance it's not then we can ignore the attack roll and take it as a double-move.

Unarmed Strike+charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
