Moving you back to where you were.

But, he's able to nail the leader with a bomb. Hit!

Round 4!

Waedin snaps her eyes open, grabs her hammer and heals Ustemir.

The boss tries to break free of Ustemir's grip!

Supervisor Escape: Athletics vs Ustemir Ath DC 21: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 Fail!

Can you turn the tide? Sebastien and Ustemir are up!

With Waedin's healing magics and Kolek at his side, Ustemir is filled with renewed vigour. "Where do you think you're going?" He chuckles, and attempts to smash the kobold's face in.

Strike: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 1 = 25
Damage, Bludgenoning: 2d4 + 4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 + 1 + (4) = 15

The Bard aims at a different kobold in sight ..

Telekinetic Projectile, CA: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 = 133d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 2) + 1 = 9

Frowning he casts Shield.

Courageous Anthem+1 Rounds 2/4

With the mining supervisor in a firm headlock, Ustemir exacts revenge, pounding stone fist again and again into the kobold's face, until his head explodes into gore! Crit! and Crit! Because of being off-guard!

With their superintendent disposed of thusly, the remaining kobolds experience a loyalty cascade.
Miner 1 Will vs DC 20: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Miner 2 Will vs DC 20: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Miner 4 Will vs DC 20: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Miner 2 Flat Check vs Persistent Fire: 1d20 ⇒ 15 Success!

The first three squeal and flee at the sight of their bosses grisly demise. They run north then turn left towards a western tunnel. In his flight, the burning kobold douses the flames.

One brave, stupid, kobold remains, and, in a fit of madness, swings wildly at Stepnik.
Miner 4 Strike: L Pick vs Stepnik + Shield: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Hit!
P dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

◆Waedin hefts herself up, ◆Steps towards the Kobold, attempting a flank if possible and ◆swings at 4!

warhammer strike CA: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14
Damage CA: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

In tandem with Kolek, Ustemir jumps over the limp body of the leader and smacks yet another dragon wannabe in the face. Or attempts to.

Fist: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 = 21
Damage, B: 2d4 + 4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 + 1 + (6) = 17

Ustemir: ◆ Command animal, ◆ Stride, ◆ Strike
Kolek: ◆◆ Support

Waedin and Ustemir quickly take down the remaining kobold.

Do you wish to give chase or lick your wounds?

I would like to chase, but I'm honestly not sure if we can. We had the same situation already happen on the first floor.

No way Waedin can catch up and is a pick crit from being dead

Ustemir considers chasing the kobolds down, but his gaze falls on Waedin, bloodied and spent. He stops.

"Good job, guys. We could patch up a bit and carry on. How's everyone feeling? They got a few licks in on me, but you..." he points to Waedin, "You look like you could use a spa day or something."

He pulls out his medical tools...

Treat Wounds, DC 15, Waedin: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 7) = 11 10 min
Treat Wounds, DC 15, Waedin: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 8) = 12 20 min

Sebastian stations himself at the exit that the Fleetwood Mac kobolds scampered down, as Ustemir handles the Medical duties.

With Ward Medic you can do two at a time... so that might affect the time spent.

"Thank you for the healing. You are very skilled".

"There's room to improve, but it's something. Thanks for the words of encouragement, though."

Don't have ward medic just yet. I have continual recovery that allows zero downtime (10 min immunity vs 1 hr immunity). We'll get there at level 4, though.

Waedin takes another crack at repairing her shield while the healing is happening.

10 min shield repair Crafting check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

shield goes from 13 to 18

Everyone's back to full health.

While everyone's being patched up, Sebastien scouts ahead, following the exit of the kobolds. He finds a tunnel that curves almost immediately back around towards the south, but can't see further around the bend. A small alcove appears at the far north if the mining operation, and another tunnel leads to the west.

Map updated!

Waedin votes clearing out the West tunnel curving south and then heading up the North West tunnel.

Ustemir nods. "RIght hand on the wall, and walk?"

My apologies, the other tunnel leads East.

So, to clarify, the kobolds escaped down the West tunnel, there's an alcove to the North, and another tunnel leading East. Follow the kobolds?

Waedin wants to check the East first if possible!

Sebastian begins to creep forward into Tunnel East.....

"Stay behind, but close.", Ustemir whispers, he starts walking toward the southeast tunnel.

The east tunnel turns south suddenly before opening up into another wide cavern chamber. This one is filled with heavyset boulders along the walls. Almost immediately above you is a fissure in the rock ceiling, from which a reddish fiery glow can be seen. The crack can be reachable from a stone column that reaches from floor to ceiling.

At the far end of the chamber is a large squat boulder, around which the floor is littered with animal bones.

Map updated!

That's where that damned soul must be. Garena help me, I'm going to end its existence on the material plane. I swear. Just... not right now. Waedin growls.

North or West? Waedin votes North.

"Soul?", Ustemir give the dwarf a curious look.

Yeah, you know that Kamus bound fire dwarf, almost killed us, and his little dog is on my list too!

"Oh, that guy. Reckon we're right underneath?", he tries to recalculate the steps that led us here from the forge.

He walks over to the bone pile, taking one, and offering it to Kolek. "Want some marrow, bud?"

Sebastian stands suspiciously staring up at the fiery opening...
An Earthquake spell would be great right now.

Are any of the bones littering the floor from large animals or all small ones?

"Bones, Boulders, and Magma. What a wonderful and welcoming room this be".

The bones seem to be mostly of small animals, although there are a few kobold bone littered about as well. As Ustemir moves close to pick a bone up, what at first seems to be another small boulder begins to stir. Grey, leathery, bat-like wings open to reveal a menacing horned humanoid figure who lashes out hungrily.

Luckily, Stepnik and Waedin are quick to respond to the perilous situation.

Sebastien encourages everyone to try again and do better next time!
Then uses the wand scored way back in Silverpine Watch to cast unerring copy-right free missiles of magical force at the gargoyle!

Because it's Pathfinder!

Both Waedin and Stepnik continue to assault the monster, but to no avail. Miss! Miss! Miss! aaaaand Miss!

Ustemir grimaces when struck. Bent on following the creature, he charges after it with the bear and while Kolek is clawing at its back, Ustemir smashes the stone gauntlet into it.

Noted!

Kolek and Ustemir move into flanking position around the gargoyle, and as they do, the monster reacts, slashing out with its foot talons.

Stoney fist strikes stoney skin, which absorbs some of the blow.

Sebastien tries to keep Waedin in the fight a little longer, and his wand spontaneously fires another bolt of force.
