"I'v only got one trick, healing. Its a good one, but not very creative. I could transfer my life link capabilities to another rather than rogar, so they'd take half damage."
With no on thinking of anything better, Ruza speaks up. "Well, I am not one for illusions. I'll to and try to talk to them. She walks towards the entrance and summons three fox fires and starts to juggle them.
as the three different color flames are going around and around, she starts to sing.
"Goodbye Norma Jone. Though i never knew you at all. You have the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled. They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain. They set you on a treadmill and they made you change your name. And it seems to me, you lived your life like a candle in the wind. Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in."
Rogar hangs back with the others, hammer in hand ready for a surprise attack. He is very impressed with Ruza's singing and turns to talk quietly to whoever is with him.
Wow. Ruza's got one 'ell of a set of pipes on 'er! Don't care much for the song though. Candles, wind 'n' rain? Those are for elves! Dwarven songs are all about gettin' drunk and starting fights on a Saturday night!
Mystiel's sharp senses detect the Gremlin coming from behind.
Mystiel Go!
"They're at it again!" Myst yells as he suddenly turns around, draws an arrow and fires at the gremlin.
Mystiel's arrow shatters against the Gremlin's hide. You notice that this one is more muscular and a little taller. It has several scars that show it's been in a few more fights than the others. It calls out an order in Undercommon and attacks Keldor at the back of the party with it's decorated blade.
Two more Gremlins come from the opening ahead. They attack Irgot from the front.
One of the shortswords pierces through the half-orc's thick armor and cuts into his stomach.
Once it's her turn, Ruza will stare at Jazvit, giving him a -2 on his will saves. Then she'll walk up to him, as she's casting and say "Why are you attacking us? Give that to me now." She reaches out with her palm up as if she were demanding an offer. She stopped 5 feet away from him.
Rogar moves up to stand beside Keldor, 10 feet from Jazvit. Seeing Ruza's plan, he doesn't attack (yet).
Since I forgot to roll for Initiative, I'm just going to have the party go and alternate between monsters and party.
The gremlin leader hands over his weapon. The other gremlins seem confused and lower their own blades just a bit.
Ruza nods as the Goblin leader hands her his weapon. "Just what were you thinking attacking us. You should know better." she back up away from him and nods her head.
Keldor, seeing the leader now weaponless and coming out of his stupor, moves to attack quickly!
"Eat fist you rodent-spawn!"
Despite the wound Irgot carries on calmly, returning a quick blow with his own weapon to one of the gremlins
Frustrated by the ineffectiveness of his arrows against the gremlins' skin, Myst pulls his stake from his boot and moves around to try to give Keldor a flank instead.
Oliver will ready a cure light wounds spell to cast on the first person who takes damage that drops them more than half.
Keldor punches the leader in the face while an underling avoids Irgot's swing.
Oliver heals Irgot.
The gremlin leader leaps upon Keldor and tries to bite him while the two weaker ones take up flanking on Irgot's side.
Jazvit's bite does only superficial damage to Keldor. Irgot feels something internal get punctured from the next stab.
as a free action, Ruza intensifies her gaze at Jazvit. "I thought i told you it was foolish for you to attack us. Now stop that." she casts Forbid Action
"Hard to bite when you're losing teeth!"
His anger clouding his tactics, Keldor swings big but only cracks the floor where the Gremlin was a moment before.
"RAAGGGHHH!"
Ruza make a spell resistance check. Rogar roll for your readied action and take this turn.
The gremlins continue to nimbly weave around your attacks.
Hopefully that works.
It does. Jazvit will not attack this turn.
Rogar will swing for the same goblin again, putting all his weight behind it as he's getting mad now!
The Gremlin dodges both of Rogar's attacks.
"Your wounds are my own!"
Oliver switches his life link to Irgot as a standard action.
Myst runs around to give Keldor a flank, though he is careful to be on the defensive.
Obviously freaked out by not being able to attack suddenly, the leader of the gremlins calls out an order to his followers. They all suddenly disappear in a flash of light.
"NO!"
Ruza frowns. "What a bunch of cowards these goblins be.
STAY STILL YEH FILTHY BLIGHTERS!
Myst sighs as he just lowers his stake. It was never going to do enough damage to pierce their skin anyway.
Cursing under his breath and turning back to the group, Keldor points at the Gremlin's blade that Ruza took from the leader, and wonders aloud.
"That looked unique. Irgot? Rogar? Any idea who made it? Ruza, does it appear enchanted?"
After the flash of light, a dead gremlin lies near the room ahead, smashed by Rogar's hammer. Irgot's blade is likewise covered in dark blue blood. A solid, but sadly nonfatal, hit. The blade taken from the leader appears to be of masterwork quality. Probably stolen from someone else.
"Another clue maybe?"
Pointing back toward the large area they were preparing to enter earlier, Keldor stands straight.
"Let's finish this."
Myst gathers his weapons and nods.
"Yeah, let's put an end to these little critters..."
Irgot takes the blade and attempts to examine it for any hints to its origin.
As he does he winces and grabs his side. "First, I am still in a bad way. Do we have any curatives remaining?"
Ruza goes over and pokes Irgot's side, "Yeah, that does look bad." she looks around. "Does anyone have a bandage?"
The gremlins blade is more an ornate dagger. The design is common among well of Numenerians.
You head into the cavern ahead. This chamber is littered with piles of refuse and garbage and useless trinkets. The gremlins are in here. The last of the smaller ones has a large gash along it's chest. They are digging through a chest on the far wall and pull out a pair of potions. Each of them drinks one.
Everyone Go!
"Blast you vermin!"
Reaching out to the energy of the beyond Keldor speaks words of destruction and devouring at the leader Gremlin.
Unwilling to risk things further Irgot decides to reinforce himself before wading in.
Oliver switches Life link over to Rogar once more, and prepares another are light wounds spell for anyone below half health.
