Thanks, Hernvet.
Hoga looks around a bit. Let's go back to a safer spot and rest up. We can go look for a fight tomorrow.
If no objection, Kyzen will take the 8 Hp to be totally healed.
Maffei is healed with the 12 Hp...
"Wow Herny. That felt great." Kakrish flexes his biceps. "Back to full strength. Now, where to? Hoga, you found a safe place to rest?"
This will have to do.
The group spend some time resting. The next morning, they look down the tunnel that will lead them toward the strongest foe they have ever faced. A dragon, the ultimate predator! Many are the story of adventurers meeting their end while trying to kill one, and the few that succeed usually become part of the heroes remembered in bard song. You all feel that this was probably the last time you get to relax all together before facing the terrors that is at the other end of the tunnel.
Kakrish stretches and cracks his knuckles. He opens his mouth as if to say something but instead, a loud and phlegmy sounding burp comes out. The belch lasts for a good two or three seconds. As he finishes, he waves his hand in front of his mouth. "Wow. I'm still smelling lunch from two days ago!" He bends over to pick up his gear. "Ok. Let's go get this dragon."
Hoga puts away his greataxe and gets out Wyrmsmite. Might just be needing this today.
He goes into the tunnel with Kakrish.
Hernvet gathers his stuff and follows the others.
Looks pretty narrow. We might need to go single file.
You travel for a long time under ground in the dug out tunnel. Once in a while, you see wooden posts to reinforce the walls and ceiling. Eventually, the tunnel opens up slightly into a room. While big, you can't imagine that it would be the lair of the dragon. Two possible exits are visible, letting you know that there is more to this place then just a simple cavern with a dragon. In the room stand three more grioths who seem determined that you don't see the rest of the complex.
Having seen what these creatures can do if you do not close with them Kyras moves up and slashes at the norhtern-most enemy.
"We'll make short work of these guys. Hoga, just a sec." Kakrish spits in his hand then moves next to Hoga. He slaps his saliva covered hand on the half-orc's forearm and a tingling sensation flows through the touch.
"Ok. You now will do more damage. I've infused you with the holy power of Gorum!"
Hernvet reaches out to Hoga and casts guidance on him. "This should help you connect with that weapon of yours"
Hoga charges, drawing Wyrmsmite, the magical sword glowing with power, and swings with all his might.
Maffei joins the fight and attacks the other Grioth. Her blade finds a weak spot and cut in deep. The two front Grioth handles their falchion with an expert hand and counter attack the group. Luckily for the group, both Hoga and Maffei avoids getting hit more then once. The one in the back starts casting a spell. Seconds latter, an explosion of sound can be heard that enveloppe Kakrish, Hernvet and Kyzen.
Kyras swipes at Red again.
Kakrish reels with the burst of sound but keeps his senses. "Oh no! You're not going to get away with that!" He races across the room to stand next to Maffei.
Hernvet moves up closer to the battle and casts guidance on Hoga.
Hoga tries to finish off the one in front of him.
Kyzen aims at the priest at the back and sends a blast of energy. It does hit the creature, leaving a good size wounds. Maffei side step the Grioth in front of her and tries her best to find a weak spot, but all of her attacks are deflected. Hoga does manages to get some good hits, but the creature is still standing. Hoga's attack must have cause some serious damage, because the grioth in front of him doesn't even come close to hitting him. Maffei, however, is less lucky and get some serious cuts from the falchion. The priest in the back uses magic to heal some of his wounds before moving before moving back from the group.
Kyras tries to take down Red.
Hernvet touches Hoga and casts Guidance on him.
"Here ya go!"
He runs up to the caster and swings.
With his greatsword drawn, Kakrish makes a savage cut at the grioth.
Kyras kills one of the grioth fighter, which opens the way for Hoga to make it to the caster. Kakrish score a good hit on the grioth in front of him and so does Kyzen. Maffei tries to get one in, but her blades just keep bouncing off the armor. She takes another hit however from the grioth. The caster take a step back and cast a spell at Hoga.
Lesser confusion
Hoga will try to identify the spell that was cast.
His for dispatched, Kyres charges the caster.
Kakrish looks at the grioth in surprise. "You didn't die already? Ok. I'll fix that!" He steps towards the creature and makes two great swings at the ugly creature. As he swings he allows a small bit of his holy energy to trickle into the blade.
Okay, now you're just pissing me off!
Hoga take a 5' and full attacks.
And the cloak:
Having whiffed 3 times in a row, Hoga is even more pissed.
Hernvet throws one of his star knives at the yellow Grioth.
Kyras's weapon digs deep in the caster and kills it. Hoga moves to the last target but misses his attack. As for Kyzen and Maffei, this time, it is Kyzen that misses while Maffei's blade find all the exact weak spot and bring down the last grioth. With the fight over, the group is able to explore more the room. There is a exist north that also seem to go down. As for the opening in the eastern wall, it allows you to see a large natural cavern. The ceiling is impressively high, and with the floor being a hundred feet down, it just make the place even more grand. Looking around, you notice a ledge on the north side of the cavern that is much closer to the floor. Getting there should make it way easier to access the cavern.
Kakrish peers out in to the cavern.
"That's a big area," he says to no one in particular. "I wonder how to get down to that ledge. Hey, maybe that passage north would get us there." He points to the tunnel that heads north from the area where they fought the grioths.
Check it out, Kakresh.
Hoga then speaks to whoever's interested. We should check the grioth corpses for anything we can use. If they have gold, I'll carry it for you, for a very reasonable fee!
The half orc snickers at what he thinks was funny. Then, he notices he's injured. Is anyone else hurt? I could use a little healing. Took a couple of bad hits, there.
Kyras looks over the bodies for useful and valuable items before proceeding.
Hernvet walks over to Hoga and says "Here's some heal'in for ya"
He looks out over the cavern and says "I wager that Kakrish is right, However I do happen to be able to make one of yall fly for a bit if we want to send someone ahead to scout it out?"
You follow the northern passage to a double room. The first part is rather bare and just contain a few furniture that seem to have been taken from the monastery. The second part looks like a resting place for the Grioth. You don't find any personal items, leaving you to believe that this was more a transition room from where ever they came from to the outside world. Further down, you see three set of crude stairs that leads toward the huge cavern. If anyone would have some preparation to do before heading to what looks like the dragon's lair, now might seem to be the time.
