Fernus draws his crossbow and loads it, but other than that he stays at the back where feels safe. Well at least safer...
"Well?" he asks with a squeaky voice.
"What's the plan?"
She is already dead, we know it, we are just here for your treasure, stupid Gobbo!
Bear draws out a scroll of resist energy and casts it on Tarin giving him resist Acid 10.
Go disable the trap and throw down the treasure. I can load it up and we can get out of here.
Whispers, When he hears the treasure coming out...it will be too much, stay in position.
I look hurt as Tarin starts smacking me with his stick until I realise that the pain from the burns is slowly receding. I nod at Bear's plan but when the Goblin says he will cut of the Elf's fingers, my grip tightens on my hammer. It is even worse when Bear provokes the creature by saying she is dead ... I get so angry that I go to hit Bear with my hammer in a blind rage!
Val sees Aeron moving forward and slips before him, seeming to stumble into his way
"Careful there...we have to make sure we don't give away too much of ourselves for the goblins to see..." she says to Aeron as she stands up and brushes herself off.
I lift my hammer and as I am about to attack Val appears in front of me, I try to get around her briefly but somehow can't get passed. I listen to her and my angry glare turns from Bear to Val before fading into nothing, I nod at her and lower my weapon. But still give Bear an angry look.
Tarinhil holds up his hand, sending the four lights that were swirling around him into the barbarian's face, and shifting their colour to red... "Aéron, wait. Let's save the hate and smashing for the goblins."
He watches caefully to ensure that no violence is coming and then relaxes. "Are we pressing on and leaving that for later, or do I go get it now? If they do have Shalelu, I think she's a higher priority than gold -- especially since we can get the gold later -- and that's assuming it's real."
Do I know which way the voice keep tittering from? Perception of 20.
Who is Shalelu, is that the Elf we are looking for? Aeron, do you know her well?
Sorry...I didn't think about what I was saying...I lost many friends to the Gobbos...and the giants...my ma, my da...everyone.
Bear's enhanced grip threatens to break his club. If she is alive then, let's go get her. Gather around, we are going to get her back!
Activates another minute of AC from Totem ability.
Bear casts Bulls STR on Aeron, Unalaq and Valeria, then he converts one of his most powerful spells to summon a Horse!
Go that way and kill any Goblins you find! Lets follow the horse!
Burn Bears Endurance for a Summon. It heads in the direction of the laughing, we will follow 30' behind.
Who has light? Dancing lights has gone out bybnow
I look to the strange rod being given to me and up at Bear, "I don't need it, I can see perfectly fine 'n' ta answer ya'r question, we're close." It is obvious there is still some anger in my voice towards Bear.
Our heroes move to the southern path which curves to the west slightly, they find them selves in an odd smelling room. Across the way is another sign. To the South is a sign with a man dodging arrows to the West is picture of a human walking in the sunshine.
"This place is...special." Val says and takes a look down the hall to the South, seeing how far down it goes...if she can see that far.
Now a bit nervous of these signs I go to a wall and stand up against it, making sure not to pass through any light on the way.
Fernus looks around at the signs and points to where the man is walking in the sunshine.
"Perhaps that way is an exit, the other one seems likely to be a trap."
Fernus still has his crossbow out and looks at the surroundings with his weapon up.
Tarinhil finds some cover to hide behind and then looks around for any obvious levers or triggers that he can break or disable before having more fun sprung on his companions...
Draken looks around. Fluttering around the room having no problems hovering. He goes over to Aeron, "How are you doing Aeron, still hurt?"
I look up at Draken, floating around, his strong nose able to smell the melting flesh still, "It's not as bad as before, but it still hurts."
No one is able to figure out what the odd smell is in the room.
"Is it just pain or would another CLW help?" Draken asks with concern.
lets see, Bear readies an attack with his club if something charges him
Bear sends the horse down the south passage and then he follows waiving the rest of them to follow.
Suddenly Fernus fires his crossbow at a goblin charging out from the lower tunnel. Not just a goblin but a goblin that is literally on fire.
for the bolt slams into its shoulder but it keeps coming.
A goblin runs up to bear who swings his club but he misses.
As the goblins enter the room the smell suddenly makes sense to everyone. It is oil. The room is soaked in it. As soon as the 4 flaming goblins enter the room it bursts into flames, the room is now an inferno, hotter than most fires. Smoke is everywhere.
Everyone takes
heroes win init. go
Looking at Draken still, "It's a lot of pain."
Seeing a flaming Goblin attack me I swing my hammer at it trying to connect to the critters chest.
Aeron slams the goblin which crumples to the ground and promptly explodes, literally it explodes in a 10 ft radius dealing 7 damage to Aeron, Fernus, Val and Draken
Fernus and Draken make their reflex save and only take 3
Fernus tries to move away as fast as possible from the raging inferno in this room and tries to keep his balance as he stumbles around in the dense smoke.
"Cough, cough, We have to get out of this smoke! Cough, cough... Quickly!"
He stumbles into Aéron, tries to pull him south and moves on himself.
Val slashes at the goblin, snapping at it with a flick like the bite of a piranha...
Val I fixed the map, you can attack but the flames and smoke cause you to miss.
Bear shifts back 5' pulls a scroll of resist energy and places resist fire 10 on himself. Fool Gobbos, where did they find this bunch, willing to sacrifice themselves like this...it's not right.
Tarinhil says through clenched teeth, "They're fire-loving little vermin. Stupid twits probably think it's fun to burn to death."
He then turns his attention to the goblin in front of him and says, in goblin, "You want to burn? No problem.", and draws upon his feygift, causing his hand to burst into flames, and then bringing his burning fist forward to strike the little monster.
{hatred} for
The flame slams into the goblin who seems to ignore it completely
The goblin cackles madly as the flames lock over him
Draken follows Fernus practically hovering the whole way to him and past him until he finds a wall...
Unalaq slices a goblin in two. It also explodes.
Bear makes his save and takes 3 (none due to Resist fire) while unalaq and Tarin take 7
Draken soon discovers that the path is in fact blocked. A goblin with a long pike stands in front of a goblin with a bunch of flasks all over him.
The one with the spear holds his spot while the one behind lobs an dlachemist fire at Draken
but it smashes into the wall next to Draken dealing minimal damage.
The flame continues to burn in the room.
#2 attempts to bite Valeria with its flaming maw but it misses
#1 attempts to bite Unalaq and catches hold of his arm Then he steps right next to Tarin.
go heroes
Full retreat hovering to go slowly. "Go away from my voice there are goblins blocking that path."
Another strike, "These little fellows are persistent at least..."
Fernus moves closer to the ones in the corridor, looking actually quite startled as he sees the two goblins standing there.
He takes a 5-foot step and readies a small earthquake for when the flask thrower attempts to throw another flask.
Valeria kills her foe and it too explodes
Aeron makes his save, but Valeria is blasted full in the chest
With only small traces of his false life extract remaining, Tarinhil withdraws away from the new goblin, heading in a wide arc back toward his larger companions. "They're all fire resistant," he says disgustedly, "Apparently, they've got magic to spare."
Seeing Fernus head down one of the tunnels I follow him and upon seeing a couple of Goblins I move towards them threateningly.
"Stay back Bear and Tarin, their blasts won't harm me as much." Unalaq moves over to the remaining goblin near him and slashes at it.
oh, jeez lots of damage back for unalaq
The goblin falls in two pieces and explodes, no damage to Unalaq
