Derika looks shocked as the Gobbers just seem to drop. Looking at Orym she gives him a kinda crooked smile while nodding, "Yeah...very nicely done." Is this what magic is really like? Up to this point she hadn't much experience with it herself....save her own weird freakishness. Thinking about it brings a slight frown to her face for a moment before she seems to shake it off.
Tanna and Missea ready their ranged weapons, in case the remaining goblin proves lucky. The goblin steps toward Jerrica and swings with its short sword.

Round 2: Jerrica, Telsyn, Orym, Derika, Scout, Tanna, Vishanti, Missea, Warriors
Jerrica steps to the goblin's side. "Flank with me, Derika."
She swings her rapiers at the goblin.
;
Derika smiles a bit and says, "Sure thing." as she steps into a flanking position with Jerrica and takes a couple of swipes at the goblin herself. Derika almost seems to feint with one claw, while striking with the other.
Jerrica and Derika overwhelm and slay the last standing goblin.
Round 2: Jerrica, Telsyn, Orym, Derika, Scout, Tanna, Vishanti, Missea, Warriors
So, do we just kill them now?
"They are a plague on this land." Vishanti says retrieving her sickle.
They'd happily kill us. Telsyn moves to P8, and prepares to finish one off.
The three goblins die without a gurgle.
Orym rests his weapon on his shoulder, not looking particularly pleased with himself. "A'right then, le's take a look around."
"We can go north or down the passageway to the west," Jerrica suggests.
Let's go north first.
A low crumbling wall surrounds what looks to be a well. Two buckets - attached to ropes - lie nearby. The room appears to be deserted and a passage way leads to your left.
Telsyn will send Dancing Lights down the well.
Telsyn sees the well descends about 20 feet before coming to a stream which flows southeast.
Derika looks down the well also, "Well...I don't think we need to go down there. So, should we continue on this way, or go back and see where that other passageway to the left led to first? It's all the same to me." She kind of gives a shrug as if to say either is fine.
"Same here," Jerrica says.
Very well. Lead the way.
You head down the hallway connected to this room and come to another chamber. Two piles of furs lie against one wall; camping gear is strewn nearby. You see two hyena-headed humanoids here and they raise their morningstars as you approach.
Initiative:
Round 1: Jerrica, Telsyn, Orym, Derika, Vishanti, Missea, Gnolls, Tanna
Jerrica attempts to identify these creatures.
"Gnolls, from the Bleached Skull tribe," Jerrica says, closing in and attacking.
; ;
Telsyn isn't powerful enough to take these down. He moves to 06 so his friends have some room, and fires a Ray of Frost at the injured one.
Derika moves up to assist Jerrica and takes a swipe at the Gnoll with one of her claws.
Between Telsyn, Derika and Jerrica the first gnoll goes down with no struggle.
Round 1: Jerrica, Telsyn, Orym, Derika, Vishanti, Missea, Gnoll, Tanna
Tanna moves into the room's right corner and fires off a bolt at the creature.
Orym moves into the room, vial of acid in hand, and once again uses his magic to toss a bolt of acid at his enemy.
Vishanti steps into the room, firing of a quick shot from her bow.
Missea stays out of the room, but pulls her sling just in case. No one manages to hit the wily gnoll who strikes at Derika.
;
Round 2: Jerrica, Telsyn, Orym, Derika, Vishanti, Missea, Gnoll, Tanna
Jerrica shows some concern as Derika takes a hard blow, moves and lunges with her rapier. "Are you okay?"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Orym's lips press into a thin line as he frowns at the gnoll, before once again striking out with his magic.
Telsyn fires into the melee again.
While Orym's spell misses, Telsyn's doesn't, patches of frost appearing on the gnoll's armor as the ray hits it.
Round 2: Jerrica, Telsyn, Orym, Derika, Vishanti, Missea, Gnoll, Tanna
Again Vishanti feels the twisted corruption of luck aiding these vile creatures as another shot goes wide.
Taking a step to her left, she wipes her mouth as she spits up some blood. Her eyes seem to gloss over slightly as her mouth twists into a snarl, "It stings a bit...." Glaring at the gnoll she snarls, "You....bastard!" Filled with rage she slashes at him with both claws.

Derika slashes deeply into the gnoll, killing it. Missea makes her way to the half-orc and touches her lightly, healing her.
Jerrica looks around the room, searching for anything valuable.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Telsyn will try to help.
Aside from the gnoll's camping gear, which consists of two piles of furs and some odds and ends, you find 6 gold and 12 silver coins, 2 heavy wooden shields, 2 suits of (now bloodstained) leather armor, 2 morningstars and 2 javelins.
"Derika, you're not looking too good, do you still want to keep going?" Jerrica asks.
She pants a little bit, her now bloody and torn uniform showing signs of her bleeding through.
Looking to the others she says, "What do...the rest of you think? There are furs and things here...there's only one exit here, so it would be a pretty good spot to take a rest. I'm not really sure how all of your magics work...but, I'm guessing you would need rest of some kind as well to recover your spells and such." She kind of wobbles a bit and slumps against a wall, blood dripping from her wounds down to the ground.
