Ill post the new turn tonight. I held off doing it yesterday hoping for Ekan....hopefully he will log on tonight and do his action.

Sorry, keyboard of my main lap top seems to need replacing, and when I tried to log on last night, I couldn't get to the site. :( Not a great day

The twing things appear to be immune to his illusion, and that, understandably, worries Ekan a great deal. I can't cast another spell or I'll drop this one. he instead does the only thing he can do, he stabs forward at the twig with his dagger.

To hit: 1d20 ⇒ 16
dmg: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

6 rounds of Bane

Tae pointed at The Huntsman of The Goblin Tribe and blasted him with pure arcane energy as he stood gawking at the Dragons head and neck.
Surrender, or flee from the Dragonmasters. This is your last chance. she shouts.

Zarrick quickly pulls the string back on the crossbow and slaps another quarrel into the slot and raising it fires. His aim is off and the bolt is lost in the pile of compost beyond.

Grommund steps up and trips on Klors big feet and misses his swing at the near panic Balsag...Get away from them ye feckin' gobboe

The dragons head continues to move to and fro as if surveying the scene as Ekan has to forego concentrating on its actions to strike at a Twig Creature with his knife. He chipped away at its bark.

Erky swings his spear like a club at a twig thing to his front attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 vs AC 13 and misses.

Balsag glanced back at his dead chieftan and at the dragon and he swallowed hard will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 DC 15 and he muttered something in Goblin

The stick things attack. attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 attack: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4 vs AC 16 attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18 attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15 vs AC 17 and one managed to scrape Ekans hand damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 minimum 1 damage and DC 12 FO save Ekans Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 and the little halfling quickly jerked his hand back before any of the dark tar like sap touched him.

The scratch threatens to disrupt Ekan's spell which so requires his concentration.

Concentrate: (focused mind trait inc) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Fortunately, he holds his focus, and even as he does so, he stabs again with the dagger at the same twig blight

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Dmg: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Current HP 6 out of 7

Grommund must be really exhausted, the bugbear leaves himself wide open as he flees but the dwarven rogue's axe finds nothing but air in its swipe. Turning, Grommund straddles the unconscious Klor and attacks one of the twig blights. He cuts the small wooden creature down with a single blow.

______________________________

AOO: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 1 = 4 Are you serious right now dice roller?!

Attack on G11: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Zarrick drops his crossbow and retrieves his mace.

Tae takes a diagonal step back and touches Klor with a healing hand.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Grommund swings and misses the fleeing Balsag.

5 rounds of Bane

Ekan manages to maintain control of the Image of a Dragon as he battles the Twig Creature in front of him, chipping away at the wood.

Grommund then steps forward and drops one of the twig blights. He was going to straddle Klor's fallen body, but saw his dwarven friend looking up at him...staggered but awake....

Zarrick fastens the leather cord that works as a sling for his crossbow and puts it over his shoulder and draws his mace again.

Tae calls upon her healing powers and touches Klor, and the bruises and bloody gash on his head heal....

Klor groans as he stands up retrieving his dropped axe.

Erky once more tries to bludgeon a stick creature attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 vs AC 13 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
and he too smashes the one near him into Kindling, spurred on by Grommunds effort.

The two remaining Twig Creatures attack Ekan like the mindless creatures they are...attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15 vs AC 17 and though 1 comes close both are evaded by the nimble halfling.

Balsag the Hunter disappears into the cave network.....

Tae moves over to Larry's side and casts another healing spell, touching him gently.

cure light wounds on Larry: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Larry sputters awake as the positive energy knits wounds....Larry is up Huzzah

The young man's eyes pop open as he realizes he's laying sprawled out on a hard floor. Then he hears the sounds of combat, and remembers how he got sprawled out on the floor. He can't stop himself from reaching up and running a hand across the wounds which the skeleton had ripped across his neck, but finds scar tissue instead of bleeding gouges in his flesh. Even as he does this, he realizes that he's free to stand and re-arm himself, so he does, pulling another spear from the set strapped to his pack instead of chasing down the one which scattered when he fell.

Spear Melee is +4 for 1d8+6 (reminder in case you need the numbers while I'm out of touch)

Grommund steps forward again, gunning for another of the twig creatures. This time he misses again.
____________________________

Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 1 = 8

Ekan makes a note to pray a LOT to Desna later for the luck he's had in this battle so far.

"Any help much obliged. Is Klor still alive?" He's a bit worried, his village has lost enough.
He stabs forward at the most wounded twig blight.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 15
dmg: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Klor and Larry are both fine now, though I'm sure I didn't heal them fully, they are both conscious now. Perhaps a night's rest would be in order when we're done dealing with the last of these foes... I don't know about the others, but near exhaustion."

"We ought to at least try fa that bugbear 'fore he warns whoever's left down here. Ah wouldn't mind goin back and havin' a wee chat with the Kobold queen now that we've essentially eliminated her enemies fa her. Got to make sure she stays loyal to us."

Zarrick rushes up to help Ekan (H10) 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Damn these message board dice

Ekan shoots Zarrick a grateful look

Erky charges forward to attack the last Twig Creature with his spear. attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 vs AC 13 and misses.

in the oder to move things along quickly let me make the remaining twig blights attack. No changes to the map, except both Grommund and Zarrick are near the twig blight with more hit points.

attack on Ekan: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15 vs AC 17 miss

Balsag goes another 60 feet further into the darklands...(that's 120 into the caves)

Ill update map tonight. maybe itll be dead and we can get to searching bodies and stuff.

Are we supposed to act again?

Just in case attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 1 = 8 Miss

Yeah with only 1 enemy and no real map change I figured Id push things forward while at work. Ill put a new map up tomorrow some time hopefully the forlorn twig blight will be dead.

Another stab from the halfling, who hopes his luck holds one more left.
dagger 1d20 ⇒ 8
dmg: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

But this time his dagger goes wide

3 rounds of Bane left

Klor tries to finish the last of the twig blights. attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10vs AC 13...and stiff as he was he missed.

Erky also tries attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 vs ac 13 damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The stick like creature stays focused on the halfling wizard attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8 vs AC 17 and its small claws clutch at empty air.

Compost Central

Zarrick determined to finish off the sticklike creature with his mace. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 connects 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

end combat.

The villains vanquished the party looks around at the carnage and bloodshed and breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Tae breathes a sigh of relief... she looks around at the others trying to gauge who might still need healing.

"We need to find a place to rest soon. I am almost out of spells and other energies for the entire day. I do have a bit of healing left if anyone still needs it though. We also need to search this place thoroughly. I wonder if it would be safe to search and then simply stay up above in the throne room."

"My best spells are gone, even the one protecting me wont last much longer." He does cast detect magic and looks about the fallen. 'I think I'll be okay. It's a scratch mostly."

Perc (Familiar included) 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"Ah'm fine. Like ah said before, I think we ought to chase after that bugbear a ways, see if we can catch 'im. If not, we kin go back ta the kobold queen and make sure she holds up the deal. Then we could rest somewhere up there."

I could use a bit of your healing magic Tae. I'm surprised I survived the battle down here.

Erky says Let me help with that Zarrick. and a quick Prayer and a flash of white channel: 1d6 ⇒ 5 and most everyone is healed fully, though Zarrick still feels a little stiff. Now Ive only got 1 more of those prayers.

Walking to the cave exit that Balsag fled down, Erky says Grommund, this cave is an entrance into the Darklands and he has a 30 second headstart. Im thinkin we won't be catchin up to him any time soon. Unless it's by ambush that he sets up himself.

I suggest we find a place to rest and recover spells. After that battle I really think we shouldn't continue on today.

"Merrr. Ok."

Did any of the rooms we cleared have a lockable door in good condition?

two come to mind, with only one entrance. The 1st Goblin Bandit Guard room that the party gangbustered into after getting Erky out. and The cell area where you found Erky.

Walking around the fallen in the compost area there does not seem to be anything of magic. A quick search of The Chiefs body however turns up a very well balanced Longbow, with a strong pull. The Chieftain had on him one of The Hucrele Family Signet Ring's, The Daughters, and a Masterwork Composite Long Bow +2 strength damage....ie needs a 14 or better strength to use.

Other places to search would be Balsags area, the throne room, the common room, and the Bandit room off've it.

Grommund will take his time searching all the rooms they'd passed in the battle.

Take 20 on all of the above before resting. 24.

"I agree, we should search and rest and THEN go back to see the kobold queen." With Erky handling the healing, Tae assists Grommund with his searching, concentrating on detecting magic in each room as they go along.

The young farmer is rubbing his head after the combat, when everyone else starts talking about chasing down the fleeing opponent or scavenging for prizes or resting or politicking or whatever. "That was worse than mucking out the pig pens or getting stepped on by a mule." As he makes the comment, he looks up and sees the rest going about the room, trying to handle the details that exist because they are alive, and he recognizes the need to get back to work.

He starts by gathering his scattered spear but then pulls out his shovel and starts re-arranging the mess on the floor, looking through it for anything which the group might want.

Aid Grommund's Search: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Facepalm

"Looks like most are in agreement about holing up and resting," He glances at Klor, "And we really should try to stick together in our actions I think. Splitting up pert near got us all killed."

Klor takes a seat losening up his joins still stiff from the damage. glancing at Ekan

he is about say something then just shuts up.

If we need ta rest I we shouldn't be wandering to far back as I be bettin' there be reinforcements comin' and we hav ta be fightin ta retake what we got now.

Ekan gives a look back at Klor's slur, "I speak Dwarven, you know that, right? How about this, you stop calling me Peck, like I've asked you to stop in the past, and in return, I won't start calling you 'Idiot'. Fair?"

He sighs and remembers his manners, at least to two others he's grateful for, "Thank you for the healing, Erky. I was only scratched, but it's good to be at full health again. Zarrick, I won't forget you rushing to my aid any time soon."

Ekan, just let you know that I have nothing against you or your character.. Klor is just a little lacking in social charms and still has some old prejudices please to don't take what Klor says personal as a player.

Klor looks to Ekan whatever...

there just might be something more bothering Klor than just Ekan chastizing him for his tactical choices.

when we run into that no good torn-faced jobby-faced bum-wipe of a hobgoblin, Hes mine. I gots some payback to be dealin'.

"Well, I don't want him if that's what you're worried about..." The halfling shrugs.

"The guard room from after we got Erky is probably our best bet to rest in. Only one door, we can lock it and post guards in shifts. Klor, Ekan's right. You run off again, I'm tempted to let you die next time. I had to let all those breeders go upstairs to come down here and save yer arse. We cain't ever split the group during a fight again, too dangerous."

A quick search of the hunters sleeping area produces some fresh water in a barrel, some fried animal of some sort...giant rat by the look of it. There is a weapons rack with half a dozen javelins, a couple spears, a rusted hand and a half sword and a longsword that appears to have seen better days.

In a small foot locker without a lock are 60 silver and 36 gold.

After securing what they will, the group heads upstairs to the throne room where the bodies of the dead outnumber the living.

Total coinage taken from the bodies is 300 Silver, 60 Gold.

The Goblin Priestess had only a silver Holy Symbol to Norgorber, besides normal weaponry for a small humanoid and a key.

The key is found to fit into the small chest kept besides the throne and enables the party to bypass the trap on the lock. within are 240 Silver, 6 Onyx Gemstones with 30 Gold each, 2 vials of a clear liquid, a scroll wrapped in black silk, and a potion vial that has a brownish liquid that is thick and oily.

Within Goblinville amid the detritus strewn about the group finds 2 statuettes of dwarven soldiers worth 30 Gold each, 3 silver rings worth 30 Gold each and 5 rather nicely shaped Moonstone worth 30 gold. There is also a usable chain shirt of normal craftsmanship.

When they are finished searching for valuables Grommund heads back to the guard chamber and prepares it for them to rest in.

We're just resting now right? So we can level up?

I thought we were resting because all the rechargeable expendables (spells, channels, etc. were pretty well used up. Leveling is a bonus event.

That and the group of novice adventurers have been at it since about 6am with an interruption the night before for a fight, and its about 4PM. Remember to mark a days rations off. Ive done so on the consumable list. Replenish your waterskins at the bugbear's sleeping area, before heading up. Once loot is divvied Ill give the ok for rest and levelling. I dont want the divvying to take long and it will if I dont put constraints. ;)

Ekan is as agog on the treasure as anyone, with an even share, he might be able to help his parents. And yes, it might be a start on buying his own tower one day,"Well, I think I see why some do this professionally for a living now."

His eyes light on the scroll, "I'll want that, if I'm right, I'll be the only one who can use it."

Klor follows Grommund back.

sorry bout dat runnin off thing. I just felt confident you had it covered up here an I wasn't expectin what we got in dat hole. I usually have ta be dealin wit this stuff alone.

Klor help him set things up.

anyway, thank fer da back-up and if we run into dat hobgoblin feller again I want ta be buryiong me axe blade so far up his arse.. Klor doesn't finish, actually at a loss for words as a whole plethora of nasty images comes to mind of all the various torture he wants to put on that dwarf hunter.

Tae attempts to identify the potion, casting detect magic and applying her skill at spellcraft.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

But sadly is unable to identify the item.

Then she turns her attention to the first alchemical vial.

craft: alchemy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

And again meets with a total lack of success.

craft: alchemy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Finally on the second vial, she smiles.

She shrugs her shoulders and gives the others a questioning look. "I'm unable to make heads or tails of these first two items items, I'm sorry my skills have failed you. But this last vial, I'm pretty sure I know what it is."

As soon as the DM confirms the success, she tells the party what she thinks it is.
