Then adoy does a double take.
what you speak common?
"How many eels you bring?" the goblinoid inquires.
"This creature is not being very helpful. Goblins are a troublesome kind where I come from. They are slaves of the fire elementals mostly and never to be trusted." Brin remarks as they try to catch some eels for the thing.
I hope this creature wont be more trouble then it already has been. I think we should find someone that could possibly be of help.
Ilya waits for this encounter with the Goblinoid to finish, keeping his eyes peeled and weapon at the ready
Kitai says "Four." assuming Adoy has been translating this dialogue back and forth.
Adoy relays the message and the goblinoid asks what will you eat if you only caught 4 eels.
He gets excited as he finally finds what he seems to be looking for. It is a small box with a lock on it. The key is hanging on a slim chain around his neck. He takes it off and opens the box. He pulls out a ring. After carefully sliding it on his finger, he speaks in the universal trade language which the travelers seem to all understand.
"You kill yellow eyes?" he asks.
"Yellow eyes take my home. Try kill me. Destroy home. Hurt others. You kill yellow eyes?" He is of course referring to the cave troll that chased Adoy back towards the party.
Ok
"Yes, it is very much dead."
"Mullog owe you. He hurt me. Mullog think you need ring. Want to trade for weapon. Mullog need protect me. Weapon for ring?" he asks them willing to make a trade.
Kitai draw his dagger, and hands it handle first to Mullog.
Mullog accepts it and hands the ring to Kitai.
"Safe travels! When come back, bring Mullog crossbow, please."
Adoy manifests detect psionics, and examines the ring
But likely gets nothing
Adoy, before we shove off, you should ask him about the gnomes.
Three javelins are suddenly launched at the group. Ilya and Brin catch them in the back of their shoulders and wince in pain. The third one goes wide.
Looking in the direction of whence they came, the travelers can see three frog-like humanoids with pale skin and traces of bioluminosity getting ready to launch another attack.
Adoy cannot figure out the full nature of the ring, but is able to figure out that it has some sort of language translation ability.
"Agh!" Brin winces in pain and pulls the javelin out of his shoulder and throws it to the ground. "Look out! We're under attack!" He raises his quarterstaff into the air and it grows thicker and deadlier then he charges towards these new enemies.
Combat Order
Despite the sharp pain, Brin removes the Javelin with just a little of the poison in his system, it disappates throughtout the large blood system of the half-giant to no effect.
Adoy's head whips around to spy the enemy. Seeing the threat, he manifests force screen.
Slowed by the poison Ilya plods forward toward the enemy.
Fraga waits for the creatures to get closer
The pale, frog-headed assailant launches another javelin this time at Fraga, catching him in the neck.
X2 for 12 Hp damage
Kitai lets fly with his phantom spear.
At the point of contact a spiral of wind forms, sweeping the creature's feet out from under it.
Success or failure, Kitai moves closer to them.
The sure-footed subterranean swamp creature squeals as the spear nicks him, but escapes the wind assault and remains upright. It responds by launching another javelin at Kitai.
The javelin sails past Kitai and is lost in the sludge.
The three amphibious pale-skinned humanoids stand in a semicircle, slowly closing around their quarry. Scared to death, Mullog has fled the scene in true Mullog fashion. One croaker has loosed his second javelin, the other two are ready to repeat their ranged success.
Both of the creature's second attempts go wide and disappear into the roots and sludge of the cavern floor. They close in within 30 feet and draw their next ranged attempt to soften up the travelers.
Fraga staggers back a bit but grips his weapon to move in when the enemy gets closer.
Time to dance! Adoy yells
Current AC 22
Adoy charges the enemy, seeking to engage the beastie on the far right.
Brin charges forwards swinging wildly and only succeeds in smacking the ground with his empowered quarterstaff.
The frogman to the left throws his last javelin at Kitai. The javelin flies well above the reptoid and off into the smaller cabin. Swift as a blurry, blue jaguar, Adoy lands a solid punch and determines that the skin, though pale, is thick and leathery. He causes the creature to take a five foot step to the right to absorb some of the blow.
Ilya continues to advance until he is next to a frog.
Fraga moves to some cover and draws out a spear of his own.
Frog men are twenty feet apart, and in an arc formation forming a cone shape from where Brin. [/ooc]
Kitai charges in at one of the frog men and stabs with the spear.
The spear dispatches one of their attackers straight away. The frog man squeals before falling limp to the ground.
The one to his right throws some sort of gooey pouch at Kitai. It explodes in a stenchy mess of very sticky roots and sludge, taking his attention off of the fight.
Another pale-skinned frog creature appears from the foliage, holding a staff with a goblin-shaped skull on top of it.
Kitai dodges the sticky device, but ends up with some of the goo on his legs.
Fraga and Ilya hold action until the frog men are within melee range after feeling the effects of the drowsy poison.
Adoy charges a frog man and lands a solid punch on it. Kitai readily dispatches one of their opponents, but is slowed by a device of amphibious alchemy.
Brin valiantly charges the creatures, but misses his swift opponent.
A frog shaman of some sort has now appeared .
Once he recovers from the charge, Adoy stops being defensive and strikes
As he swings, his gloves flares with electricity
Tryign to stay behind some cover, Fraga throws a spear at the closest target within range.
