I'm happy to keep going, although I'm going to be going on holiday in a few days for a couple of weeks, and my internet is going to be limited, so please bot me if required.

Alejandro looks around, but can't see it to follow. He swims back to the surface, ready to strike again if it returns.
Alejandro raises his sword to shield his eyes as the blast hits, then quickly slashes the dragons side as it turns to flee. Seeing Agripos in the water and with Gheorix's spell spurring him on, Alejandro takes a breath and dives into the water to attack it again.
"Ahhh!" Alejandro cries out as the dragon's teeth narrowly miss his leg. He hurriedly draws his sword and stabs wildly at the dragon.
After testing the rope, Alejandro climbs down just below the lip of the room and looks around to check that the coast is clear. He then skilfully shimmies further down the rope to the floor beneath.
"Looks like we're going down." Alejandro says. He grabs a rope from his pack and looks around for something to fasten it to.
Alejandro follows, watching the kobolds warily. He also cautiously peers down the hole in the floor. (+2 more vs traps)
"Thanks" Alejandro says to Agripos, as his wounds heal. "If we catch any more kobolds, someone ask them which way to go."
I'm here and good to keep going. Is there only one door out of the kobold's room?
Alejandro shakes his head to clear it, then returns down the stairs to join the others. "We should press on. The dragon probably already knows we're coming, but if we hang around the kobolds may decide they want to fighting."
:( Alejandro winces as the stones rain over him, but his attention is wrenched towards the shaman, and his assault halts.
Alejandro continues his maneuvers along the balcony, catching the next kobold with a satisfying slice that kills it instantly.
Alejandro steps forward onto the upper balcony, casting a brief glance down to make sure the others have the fight down at ground level well in hand. He continues slashing and flourishing his way through the kobold slingers.
With Gheorix's cry still ringing in his ears and lifting his spirits, Alejandro continues fighting his way to the top of the stairs, feinting and striking at the kobold before him.
Alejandro fends off some of the sling bullets with his shield, then undeterred continues his advance up the stairs. He turns the defensive maneuver into another feint, distracting with his buckler while he stabs his shortsword into the kobold slinger.
Alejandro grimaces and shakes off the effects of the spell.
Taking another step up the stairs, he feints at the next kobold only to viciously strike under its guard.
Alejandro shakes off the dust, then moves forward out of the corridor, avoiding the traps. Adopting a defensive stance with so many kobolds before him, he swings at the nearest kobold.
Alejandro advances up beside Agripos, also keeping an eye open for any traps.
"So much for surprise," Alejandro mutters and readies his sword.
Alejandro peers into the darkness, then holds up a hand to stop the others entering "Someone's whispering in the dark" he says to the others in a low voice. "Anyone got any light?"
Once everyone is down and has given the nod of readiness, Alejandro attempts to open the doors.
"Looks clear enough outside" Alejandro calls in a low voice to the others. As the groups descends to quay level, he approaches the doors and listens carefully for anything inside.
Alejandro moves to the side, and stealthily climbs down far enough to check that under the overhand is clear.
Alejandro peers over the rubble, looking for any sign of danger or kobolds (or dangerous kobolds) If there's no sign of danger, "Looks clear enough to me, should we land here?"
"If it hunts at night, then it should probably be sleeping now. If we want to deal with the kobolds, now would be a good time to do it." Alejandro suggests.
sorry, I've been in bed with the flu (or something like it) for the last few days.
Alejandro spends some time in the evening practicing with his new bow to get the feel of it, the tries to get some sleep before the next morning.
Alejandro, feeling the need for a more rapid ranged weapon, goes shopping for shortbow and a quiver of arrows. If there's a composite +2 bow, he'll take it, but he's not fussy. Once they're heading towards the lake, he'll keep lookout on the front of the boat.
Alejandro admires the net launcher. "This looks amazing! It will be good as a back-up plan, if we can't land without getting spotted, although maybe we should plan to draw the dragon out."
"We could land on the island on the opposite side to the stone quay." Alejandro suggests. "There may be fewer lookouts on that side, if they expect anyone going to the island to head to the dock."
"Stopping it from flying would be the best, I'm not well equipped to fight things in the air. If we an ambush it that would make the fight easier too. Could we get to the island without noticed? And where do the kobolds live?"
"If we're hanging around waiting for this ship anyway, we can at least check it out." Alejandro says in a low voice to the others. "We might even be able to help, as long as it's not too big."
Alejandro lets Gheorix talk, but studies the gnome carefully, trying to get a read on his intentions.
Alejandro looks out over the battlefield in dismay. "The cold slows the decay, but I think the elephants have been dead a couple of weeks." he reports. "If the battle was then, I don't know if they would have got our message. We'd better get what we can then try and rejoin them."
I'm recovering from some minor surgery so might be slow posting this week, please bot me if needed.
Alejandro sees that Cookie has the ship well in hand, so turns back their pursuers, and loads and fires another bolt at them.
Alejandro nimbly dodges the quills and reloads his crossbow. He then aims at the wounded rider and lets the bolt fly.
"To the boat!" Alejandro calls to the two smiths. Running over there himself, he fires a bolt at the gull near the ship.
Alejandro takes aim and fires - the bolt is fast but is way off. He swears and quickly loads another bolt. "I got nothing. he answers. "Pity there's no weapon on the boat. Would be useful against these overgrown albatrosses"
Alejandro winces as the quills hit him, then draws his crossbow and loads a bolt.
(feint rules, more penalties if it has low int, not that it matters here)
Alejandro attempts to distract the creature before going for a strike, but it doesn't seem like he's able to get a read on it. He still goes for the strike, but is still unable to break through its chitinous armor.
Alejandro cries out as he gets slashed by the beast, and he shakes his head to clear the effects of the song. As the first one falls, he turns to face the other, but the pain from the attacks throws off his aim.
Alejandro shifts behind the creature, and feels the Gheorix's song affect him as he looks for a sensitive spot to strike the creature.
Alejandro waits for Sigrid to fire, then moves in for a follow-up stab.
"Fire away." Alejandro says, pointing them out to Sigrid, as he draws his sword and prepares for combat.
Alejandro quickly changes into his new armor, nervously glancing over at the entrance corridor every so often. He starts in surprise as he armor settles into place and he notices the effects. "Wow, this is top deck!" he exclaims, as he peers down the no-longer dim corridor.
"I don't think we can hide here, the imperials would ransack this place. I think we need to make a stand." Alejandro says. "If you want to put on the good armor, we can try to hold them back in the passageway."
"If that's the way out, we'll have to try and take it." Alejandro says grimly, moving over to the far door and peeking outside. "Did you say you had weapons that might help?" "What happened when the empire attacked here?" he also asks.
"What are you doing here?" Alejandro asks. "And are there any other ways out?" He sidles into the room, watching the two men carefully. |
