"I could offer you better light, but that is all at the moment."
Elaith shacked his head.
"If you need to put anyone to sleep or to hurt them - you are welcome. But nothin to help with the lock."
"Like I said before, locks are not in my repertoire"

smoke mephit
the room is big enough you can all fit and get into melee with the mephits, there are two mephits, which will last 1 round, no use putting them on the map.
Elaith doesn't get close to the creatures, and shoots one of them with a bolt of fire.
"What a diverse place! Rats, skeletons, mephits, dead goblins."
"Indeed...a strange place this is. But lets battle these beasts and move on!"
Guiding Light:
"How bout we save the discussion on the local fauna until after we're done insuring that no one is eaten?"
"Indeed...a strange place this is. But lets battle these beasts and move on!"
Guiding Light: 1d8
What is this guiding light spell you speak of, I don't see it in the players handbook
Elaith, that is a hit, only for you to find out it is immune to fire.
Nileera barrels into the room, shield first, her longsword scraping the ground occasionally before she gives a mighty thrust of her longsword.
they dodge the sacred flame and Nileera smacks one hard (Nileera hits one after they go of course, cause init order)
Three and Zakan are up
Three will move up and keep fighting.
First the dead rise and now smoke takes shape. What a terrible place.
Zakan growls and lunges for the nearest enemy
Three and Zakan kill a smoke mephit, then the one alive goes, it will make a claw attack against Three, then Nileera moves up and hits the final one but does not kill it.
Three take
The one that died burst into smoke. all attacks for this round will be at disadvantage round 2, heroes are up
Three coughs, but continues to fight the mephits.
Three does lots of damage to it punching and slashing at it, but it lives
Yolanda tries once again to burn the creature with holy fire.
Sacred Flame:
They can't see you either, or not well, they can see in the smoke well but not out of the smoke while in the smoke.
Elaith, Zakan can you finish this before they get an attack off?
Peering through the smoke, Nileera attempts to move some of the billowing darkness by swinging wide with her shield with enough time to get a glimpse of the creature. Following the shield, the drow steps forward, and brings her sword in a horizontal slash.
Understood, you don't want to be in melee, Elaith can throw dagger, after all it will be recovered, it is off str, but you can do it from 20 feet away
Yeah, he did it, otherwise they would have gotten an attack off, of course Nileera would have killed it after their turn, still prevent them from doing damage to an ally. Heroes search the room and find gold.
Waiting for the smoke to clear, the drow spots the glint of gold in the light of her spell.
"Is everybody alright? If so, I spy with my little eye, something that begins with T. Treasure, and since we all have taken some part of this bounty, perhaps we split it evenly?"
Zakan coughs slightly through the smoke and waves it away from his face. I'm just fine thanks, quite the scuffle. I wonder what other surprises this place holds. Not like me to refuse an offer of gold, I'll take a share.
"Everyone should get an even share. We're all here risking our lives and more equally, so it just makes sense."
"Even share sounds good."
Elaith pokes the bodies of the mephits with his foot.
"A fire resistant foes... I hope there won't be too many of them. I was surprised this time, but if we meet them again, I have an idea I'd like to try."
"I don't mind taking point or scouting ahead." says Three.
"Equal shares for equal danger...I suppose. Lets move on or we will never get back and be able to spend our new-found wealth. Go ahead Three and take the lead, I;ll be right behind ya"
Zakan takes up the rear and attempts to stay hidden behinds his party members.
Elaith keeps in the back behind Yolanda.
The drow steps behind the wizard.
"I'll cover the rear. We don't want anything sneaking up on us. Although I do not have any reliable ranged weaponry on my person. It will also give Elaith and I a chance to talk, I haven't had a conversation with a learned person in quite some time. Perhaps we both can learn something new."

Heroes enter a large rectangular room.
Crudely executed symbols and glyph, scribes in bright green dye, decorate this large and irregularly shaped crumbling chamber. A large pit in the center shows evidence of a recent fire. A metallic cage in the middle of the southern wall contains a gaping hole and stand empty. A small wooden bench draped with green cloth is next to the cage, and several small objects rest on it. A bedroll lies near the wooden bench, and the south of whimpering comes from inside it. There are five exits in this room, ever wall has two doors.
Three draws his blade and moves over to the whimpering bedroll.
"So, what's going on here?"
"Oh? I'm flattered." Elaith smiles to Nileera.
He hears the whimpering and notices Three moving closer to its source.
"Something broke out of the cage, probably," guesses Elaith. "And whoever is inside might have seen what happened. Try to unfold the bedroll, but be careful."
Yolanda looks around at the room and shakes her head.
"What kinda place is this suppose to be? All those doors?? How could you ever defend such a spot...unless not all the doors are real!"
As the others examine the noise in the bedroll, Yolanda takes a closer looks at the doors (but not opening or touching them..yet)
Investigation?:
Yolanda is able to detect simple arrow traps or alarm traps on 2 of the doors, the rest look safe. They are easily disabled.
As some heroes go to the bedroll, a kobold comes out. It crawls up into a ball holding its body together, it looks down, afraid to look up at the heroes.
The drow pushes her way towards the front while the arrow traps are disabled. She approaches the kobold, putting away her spear, keeping her shield, but kneeling to help the creature at it's level.
"A kobold, but a wounded one? Excuse me kobold, can you understand me? If you can, are you hurt?"
"Now kobolds? This is a very interesting place indeed."
[draconic] "Do you understand us?" asks Elaith, getting closer the the kobold. "Are you hurt? What happened here?"
It hears Nileera but does not respond, it then replies to Elaith in Draconic You are the second person to ask me that within the past minute and the answer is no, but the goblins spread throughout this place need to die, we are at war with them, that is why I was in here. He is still shaken up.
Elaith translates to his companions what the kobold says and since it seems that the kobold is quite all right, he continues with questions.
[draconic] "Who was the first? And what happened with the cage?"
The kobold points at Nileera and speaks in Draconic. She was the first to ask me if I was hurt, but she asked me in common, for all I know she could be a spy, you on the other hand asked in Draconic, so in theory you must be trustworthy. PS, dumb goblins don't know Draconic.As far as the cage, this is a result of war, I don't know the details I was tied up and stuffed in this sleeping bag. More of my kobold friends are here in the dungeon.
"The kobolds are at war with the goblins," Elaith realys to the others. "He doesn't know what happened here, he was tied up and stuffed. He says there are more kobolds in this dungeon dungeon."
He then asks the kobold. [draconic] "Do you have a map of this place? Or can you at least describe the layout?"
Yolanda looks at the kobold with unconcealed disgust.
"Well we should just step aside and let the two of them kill each other, them sweep in and mop-up whatever is left!"
"You do know that Kobolds can likely speak common, right?" say Three to Yolanda.
Yolanda looks at three with a slightly confused look on her face.
"Umm, yeah...so what? Mangy little git ain't going nowhere anyway, right."
