Silas pulls out a scroll with a flourish from the scroll case slung bandoleer style over his shoulder and gingerly unrolls it. He gestures towards the Kobold and utters a single word in
The scroll flares once with dull radiance and dissolves into motes of light and the Kobold ...
Michael swings at the yellow kobold again.
"How you holding up, Lucanor?"
"Not as well as I'd like," He admits.
Hecktor shows a mocking smile on red goblin.
"Bah!! You call that an attack?

"Damnit! Don't think you're getting away that easily."
He then steps into the hallway and swings at the nearest kobold.
Lucanor races after the kobolds, keeping pace and he's not ashamed to stab one of the little snots in the back.
If he downs one, he'll move onto the next one and slash at him as well.

Hecktor moves to threaten the white kobold.
Lucanor moves back into the Room.
The kobold threatening the halfling throws down its dagger and raises its hands in a gesture of surrender. It babbles in Draconic pitifully.
Combat Over.
Of course, Kibbo and Jarrdreg feel differently they screech at you also
The halfling falls to one knee and seems winded. He tells you his name is Edgrin Galesong. Edgrin is a sweaty, moon-faced little halfling. His once debonair, brocaded, green-velvet doublet and silk leggings are torn and covered in grime, and his lute still hangs on a strap at his side.
Kimi hugs Gared then immediately begins tending to Mikra Jabbs, who continues to rock back and forth and moan a bit. Clearly in shock.
Kimi tells Gared her story quickly
Edgrin says Savram ran north I think he might still be ok, but....I couldn't save Jurin. The Forgespurned got him. I don't know if he is alive. Hollin is still below, the little bastards plan to cut his heart out.
When a dwarven worshiper of Droskar
perishes, he is brought before his divine
lord and judged. If the Master of the Dark
Furnace finds him unworthy he is pierced
with burning barbs and returned to the
world as an undead terror on an accursed
errand to gather souls for Droskar’s
Furnace. The penance varies depending
on how displeased the master is with
his subject. Lesser offenders need only
capture ten or twenty souls to appease
Droskar. Others are condemned to spend
several lifetimes gathering hundreds of
souls to earn a reprieve from their fiery
torment. Most of these accursed cast offs
are dwarven smiths, warriors, or clanlords
who failed to please the Master of the
Dark Furnace in life. They are consumed
with their need to forge their soul chains
and prey upon any creature they feel
they can easily best. If a forge spurned
is felled and its chain taken by another,
it seethes in dark fury. A forge spurned
stops at nothing to retrieve its chain, lest
it be forced to forge another, extending its
period of burning torment.
Lucanor listens "You children wounded? What about you, Mister Galesong?"
Being plenty wounded himself, the Inquisitor takes a moment to pray to his goddess and heal up some of his own wounds.
"Who needs healing?", asks Silas brandishing a wand!
"We're going to have to destroy the chain of the Soulforged. Won't be easy. The thing breathes a choking smoke and uses that very chain as shield and weapon."
"Great...so we'd have to fight a chain-smoking masochist? This'll be a first."
"I could use a touch-up, Silas."
Seeing the remaining kobold that had attacked raising his hands and dropping his weapon, Michael points in his direction.
"What's up with that guy? I take it he's surrendering by the fact that he's groveling, but these other two keep pointing and shouting. I'm guessing they're not friends?"
"Seems they are telling us to kill him? Maybe he's a backstabbing sneak."
"There, you're all ready to go!"
I got hit by the cube too silas.
"Appreciate it, Silas. Now, we need to figure out where to go next. Do we go after Savram first, or do we try to figure out where the rest of them are? That Soulforged thing sounds like it's going to be a major pain."
Michael then checks out the room connected to this one while continuing.
"We've also got to do something with this new kobold prisoner. I say we tie him and leave him. He attacked us, while those other two left us be during that first fight."
"Here you go Hecktor."
"Pretty sure these want us to kill him. I'm not going to do that to a prisoner... I say tie him up and rescue the kids. Mind you I'm not going to loose any sleep if something happens to him in the mean time..."
Kibbo and Jarrdreg clap and cheer when you tie up the other Kobold but it doesn't resist. Michael you check room 13 and 12 and aside from the kobolds gear you find a Potion, unlabeled and old.
Kimi pulls Gared north towards room 14, she says Savram went that way.
Edgrin volunteers to wait here with Mikra if you arm him and give him a torch. He also asks that you heal him please.
Kibbo and Jarrdreg look hesitant to head towards room 14.
I'll uncover the bit of the map that Edgrin is familiar with, he tells you about these areas.
#14 He doesnt know whats in there, Savram went in but the doors closed behind him
#16 is a small chapel, nothing was there when Edgrin ran through with the kids
#17 is a refuse elevator, that is where these kobolds were stationed protecting the elevator
#18 is an area of smoke filled tunnels, Edgrin took a bite from a creature there, he didn't see it as he ran by
#19 is a forge....this is where the forgespurned captured Jurin. He says that it is full of choking smoke and the kobolds stay clear of it.
Lucanor heals up completely with that first charge, having already healed himself some, "Save the magic of the wand for this good halfling, I'm good now."
Michael steps back out from the room with the potion in hand. He hands it off to Silas and says, "See if you can figure out what this is. Seems to be something you've got a knack for."
He then starts walking down the hallway towards the doors that Savram supposedly ran into. "Well, we're close enough to him, so I say we make sure he's safe first. I don't like the idea of leaving him to fend for himself when we know where he is. Plus, we might be able to fortify those doors if the room is clear and make it a bit of a safe room for the kids."
Room 14
This dark ossuary is cold and full of the sound
of dripping water. A dark corridor runs north
down the center of the room, while to either
side two large bays open into small niches that
contain ancient dwarven skeletons. At the far
end of the corridor rests a large iron anvil.
Nothing is moving.
Silas examines the vial that Michael hands him, "It appears that drinking this will make you wiser, at least for a while..."
Silas peers into the ossuary and calls out, "Savram, are you there lad?"
"Savram? You in here, your father is worried." Lucanor asks
"I don't like this. The last time we saw dwarven skeletons in this place, they tried to kill us..."
Michael is going to inspect the nearest skeletons more closely.
After Lucanor speaks out a small voice calls back from the very rear of the room.
Mister Lucanor, I'm so scared. The dead men...they move.
Michael enters the room, and a booming voice is heard.
Five skeletons, armed and armored in ancient dwarven craft gear burst from their ossuary chamber.
Michael, you know the standard stuff. Skeletons are resistant to cutting or piercing damage. These look like tougher versions of the skeletons you faced before. They are wielding Warhammers and shields and wearing chainmail.

Michael
Lucanor
Hecktor and Skeletons
Baldur
Michael drops into a defensive stance and backs away from the skeletons.
"I knew it! Here we go again! And this time, we can't bottleneck the place."
Mister Lucanor, I'm so scared. The dead men...they move.
Lucanor answers, "Then you stay right where you are until we deal with them. I hope to get to you soon. Iomedae fought a lot of undead even when she was human, I merely walk in her shadow, but you and i both know they can be beaten and put to rest."
He looks to Michael, "Got any holy water?"
"Not a religious man, Luc. I've got no use for that kind of stuff."
Silas sees the undead approaching and his heat sinks, thinking oh no not again... Still in his best Sergeant Major's voice he bellows, "Look at these scrawny excuses for a dwarf! No meat on their bones! Remember use blunt force for maximum effect"
Standard action: Inspire courage 6/12 rounds.
Michael mumbles under his breath about the dead not staying dead before taking a step back and swinging his hammer at the skeleton in front of him.
Move to meet skeleton green while drawing the morningstar.
Edit: ok Silas. Added.
Lucanor flings a disrupt undead spell at any skeleton that's closest to Savram's area, hoping to lure it towards him.

Edit :), still...pretty much ouch
Hecktor feels a massive force slamming into his chest.
"Ugh....tsk, damnit.", he coughs. Hadn't it been for his exercised muscles, he could have been killed by such an impact.
"You skinny mongrel, you got lucky..."
Hecktor uses withdraw.
Full round, double movement speed.
