Ok guys I am going to call the game. I am focusing on other parts of my life right now, like getting a business started, and do not have the time to dedicate to the game anymore. Thanks for playing with me for over a year it has been fun. Good luck to all of you and happy gaming!!
The large cavern soon splits into two narrow passages, One going north and the other south. The hunch back kobold points north. "That way tribe."
Ruthviren: You find nothing on the dead red scaled miners but the brown scaled leader had a small pouch containing 6 gems, 19 gold pieces, 45 silver pieces and a small dull gray feather. His heavy pick is also of a very good make.
Serila: The hunched back kobold is limping a little and bleeding from a small cut on the forehead.
Bhoors fires another volley at the large brown scaled kobold but the creature dodges the arrows. Ruthviren swings his massive hammer at the brown scaled kobold crushing his chest and he slumps to the the ground. Seeing their leader falls the other kobold flee into the darkness to the rear of the cavern.
Bhoors fires a volley at the large brown scaled kobold but the creature dodges the arrows. Ruthviren swings at the kobold leader but the blow is parried again. Serila cast a spell shooting a blob of acid that the leader which splashes his leg a little. --------------------------------------------------------- The large brown scaled kobold swings his pick ax at the blue scaled hunched back kobold again. The hunched back kobold barely dodges the strike and retreats. Another volley of stones fly at the blue scaled kobold and he is hit with one of the stones which causes him to limp a little as he retreats.

Bhoors fires a volley at the large brown scaled kobold hitting him once but he does not stop. Ruthviren swings at the kobold leader but the blow is parried. Serila cast a spell on Ruthviren. --------------------------------------------------------- The large brown scaled kobold marches over the bodies in front of him and swings his pick ax at the blue scaled hunched back kobold. The hunched back kobold barely dodges the strike as he completes his spell. The brown scaled kobold blinks for a second then growls at the caster. Another volley of stones fly at the blue scaled kobold and he is hit with every one of them but they seem to having little effect.
Farid
DM Screen:
Farid charges at the brown scaled kobold as it moves to attack chopping into the creatures flank. It grimaces in pain then swings it's heavy pick at the barbarian's chest sticking the spike of the heavy pick straight thru Farid's chest. The man slumps to the ground with a sickening thud. The kobold yanks his pick from the body and yells a command at the others. The four remaining red scaled kobolds sling a volley of stones at the blue scaled hunched back kobold. Three of the stones hit but look to have done little damage.
Farid
DM Screen:
Serila: You notices that the brown scaled kobold grip his heavy pickax tightly and advances toward the blue scaled hunch backed kobold that is casting a spell. You know the spell well - it is a Sleep spell.
Bhoors fires a volley at the large brown scaled leader and thou they hit they leave only small scratches. Ruthviren marches into the room and crushes a small kobold with his massive hammer. At Serila's urging the hunhed back, blue skinned kobold rushes forward and begins to speak. The smaller read scaled kobold's give pause but the brown scaled leader's gaze narrows and curses and spits on the ground. With that the hunched back give a short curt reply and kobold begins to mumble and wave his hands.
Farid
DM Screen :
Farid reacts with blazing speed to the threat and rushes at the first enemy that he can reach. With fright in its eyes the red scaled kobold does not have time to raise it's weapon in defense and is struck square in the chest with the Barbarian's greataxe. The kobold's body slumps to the ground. The group hears a growl come from the back of the room, then a volley of stones come flying out from behind many shadowy corners of the cavern. Farid gets hit by two jagged stones. A larger brown scaled kobold comes into the light a throws a javelin at Bhoors which it hits the ranger in the shoulder. Bhoors grits his teeth as he feels a poison try to sap his quickness but he is able to resist it.
Farid
DM Screen:
The group moves into the large cavern with Serila's magical light shining the way. Shadows dance off the boulders making it hard to see but just before they attack the group notices kobolds hiding behind some of the larger boulders.
Farid
DM Screen:
The cramped passageways open to a large cavern filled with rocky overhangs and jutting boulders. Tools are lying on the ground but look recently used. You see no kobolds in sight. Farid: You find no traps in the area.
This cramped passageway is dark and a soot hangs in the air. Farid: You move slow into the passage way searching for traps but find none.
The creature looks like it will live thanks to Serila's gentle touch. You search the rest of the room but find nothing of value. It looks like it has been raided before. You also find no other exits from this room.
The creature lets Serila tend to it's wounds but as the woman talks it's seem to not understand her. Knowledge Dungeoneering DC 13: The creature is a Choker. Underground predators that often dwell on the outskirts of subterranean ruins or in the deep shadows of nameless cavern outposts, chokers lurk in the darkness and lash out with their long, rubbery arms to grasp prey as it passes by. They seldom attack multiple enemies at once, stalking their quarry until they can isolate a weaker victim from its pack. Chokers walk with a disturbing, almost comical gait due to their extremely limber legs. Weighing only 35 pounds and standing no taller than a halfling, chokers have no problem skittering across walls and ceilings, often lodging themselves into shadowy corners, tunnel intersections, walls, or staircases. A choker will attempt to grasp creatures of almost any size, but prefers lone prey of its size or smaller. Chokers appear to have little culture of their own, gathering only briefly to mate before their wanderlust and hunger spurs them again to a solitary existence. Their just-better-than-animalistic intelligence grants them a fascination with the trappings of society even if they do not truly understand it. Accordingly, the grubby lair of a choker (often situated in a difficult-to-reach nook or cranny) usually contains valuable objects such as rings, brooches, cloak clasps, and loose coins gathered from devoured victims. This fascination occasionally compels a choker to abandon its subterranean home for a closer study of the sunlit world's many civilizations. These chokers feel most at home in the darkened narrow alleyways of human cities, squeezing themselves into sewers, forgotten alcoves, barrels, and similar cramped, overlooked spaces. Chokers prefer to keep hidden during the light of day, emerging from their hidey-holes under cover of darkness to hunt for food and cruel pleasure. Favorite tactics include using their long arms to scoop prey off the street from the safety of a nearby rooftop, attacking sleeping families by squeezing through an open chimney, or tapping on a window to bring their curious food within grasping distance.
The creature tenses for a second as Serila comes closer but then relaxes when it sees she is not going to harm him and nods at the cleric.
Serila moves into the storage room and as she does her magical lights illuminate the entire room. Just then you hear an inhuman scream as something falls from the stone rafters above and lands hard on a pile of crates. Farid quick moves to intersect and sees a hunched gray skinned wretch with long, pliable arms like tentacles capped with five wide, spiny claws lying on its back trying to get up. It has many wounds the most noticeable is the barbed spear still sticking in its side. It cowers in fear as the barbarian comes into sight.
The kobold turns to Serila. "It comes from the small centipede and slows." Poison: Small Centipede Poison Type poison (injury); Save Fortitude DC 11 Frequency 1/round for 4 rounds Effect 1 Dex damage; Cure 1 save
The hunched back blue scaled kobold turns to Bhoors. "Vials are poison. Used by warriors of tribe."
Farid: You find all the crates empty but while you where searching the crates you hear a weezing sound like labored but quite breathing. You can't see what is making the noise but it is coming from above you in the rafters.
Bhoors: You find
This shadowy stone chamber is filled with crates and splintered barrels. Stone rafters criss-cross the ceiling above.
Your kobold friend turns to Ruthviren. "Mines and white toad home that way."
The hunched back blue scaled kobold from above climbs down the chain after Serila beckons it. Speaking to the group. "King and followers will fight! But others may not fight and let pass." He points to the northern tunnel. "To king." A doorway opens in the west wall leading to what looks like a storage area. The north and east walls have been broken through from the outside. Cramped, narrow tunnels beckon from beyond the breached walls.
Serila flings another blob of acid around the room hitting the cauldron but not much else.
Farid
Farid drinks a potion. Bhoors still trying to kill the kobold in the cauldron with him but can't seem to hit the quick blue scaled warrior. Ruthviren rushes ahead into the magical fog trying to find the fleeing kobolds with wild swings from his axe but can't hit any. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The blue scaled kobold dips his dagger in a pouch on his belt then stabs at Bhoors again but misses again. The group can hear shouts and movement north within the fog.
Farid
DM Screen:
Serila flings another blob of acid at the blue scaled kobold but he dodges it.
Farid
Farid slices the white kobold on the leg. Ruthviren stands up and step forward swing his hammer in the process. With deadly accuracy the warrior's hammer arcs toward the spellcaster and just before it hits the kobold and invisible force deflects the blow. Bhoors battles with the blue scaled kobold but can't get an clean attack on the quick creature. ------------------------------------------------------- The blue kobold jabs at Bhoors again with his dagger but misses. The green scaled kobold yells. Urktar! Then begins to mumble and way his hands in the air again. As he does a billowing cloud of mist begins to fill the cavern and soon you can not see him anymore. You hear footsteps retreating down the cavern.
Farid
DM Screen:
Serila finishes her spell then quickly cast another one. Neither of the kobold seem to be affected by the woman's first spell.
Farid
DM Screen:
Just as the blue scaled kobold raises his spear to attack Ruthviren the warrior quickly jabs with the spike on the end of his larger hammer driving it thru the creatures neck. The kobold falls to the ground choking on it's own blood.
The albino toad bites at Farid as his stands but misses. Farid bring his axe down finishing the toad off. Bhoors scrambles to his feet as the toad and kobold attack and both of them miss. Bhoors gracefully counterattacks chopping the toad's head from it's body. The Toad's body jerks sending the kobold off the back. Ruthviren turns around again to deal with the new comers. Bring his hammer around as he turns he smashes the nearest kobold and it falls limp to the ground. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The blue scaled kobold in the cauldron with Bhoors stands up give the ranger an opportunity to attack but his axe swing wildy wide of its target. The kobold then thrust his dagger at the man caughting him on the arm. The green scaled kobold quickly says a phrase "Rusess!" and points a finger at Ruthviren and the warrior drops to the ground.

Command - to Fall The white kobold begins to mumble and wave his hands again and as he finishes a red magical dart shoots from his finger striking Farid in the chest. Spellcraft DC 17:

Farid
DM Screen:
Serila begins a spell.
Farid
Farid thrust at the toad again from the prone position but the slippery toad's hide is to tough to pierce. Bhoors chops into the toad with the rider giving it a large gash on the flank. Ruthviren not willing to charge into the darkness to chase the white scaled kobold turns and swings his hammer horizontally over Farid's head striking the albino toad in the head. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The toad over Farid growls in pain as Ruthviren hits it but is still attacks Farid and thrusts it's tusks at the barbarian once again but misses. The toad in the cauldron with Bhoors leaps up and on to the ranger flattening the him to the bottom of the cauldron. The kobold then stabs Bhoors with his wicked dagger. Two more blue scaled kobolds move into the room with weapons ready, the white scaled kobold comes out of the darkness as well and also a green scaled kobold is with him.

Farid
Farid swings his axe from the ground at the toad but slips on some of the toad's slime and the strike go wide. Bhoors fires two arrows at the white scaled kobold and both hit! Wiht an arrow in each leg the kobold curses in pain. Ruthviren tries to silence the spellcaster for good but just at the hammer is about to hit its chest and invisible barrier turns the hammer away. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The white scaled kobold retreats in the dark cavern to the north. The toad near Farid once again tries to bite the barbarian. With its large tusked mouth the toad bite Farid on the leg piercing clear thru the thigh. The mounted Blue scaled kobold draws a wicked looking dagger attached to a chain as his mount leaps off the wall at Bhoors. They land inside the cauldron with the ranger and attack but both flail wildly missing.
Farid
DM Screen:
Serila casts a quick spell which fires an acid blob but fails to hit the big slimy toad.
Farid
Farid grabs his weapon while guarding against attack from the large toad. Bhoors fires a volley of arrows at the spellcaster but neither find their mark. Ruthviren smashes the blue scaled kobold with his large hammer sending it flying five feet to the left. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The spellcaster steps back out of reach and quickly mumbles a few words and throw a hand full of colored sand at Ruthviren. A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from its hand but the warrior seems unaffected. Spellcraft DC 17:
Color Spray The toad near Farid bites at the barbarian again but he rolls away for the large tusks just in time. The mounted kobold throws another javelin at Bhoors but it hits the cauldron and falls to the floor. The toad then spits a bolt of goo at Bhoors but it falls short. You all can hear movement in the darkness beyond the white scaled kobold to the north.
Farid
DM Screen:
Serila climbs out of the cauldron and rushes to Farid's side.
Farid
Farid drops as he draws his axe landing on the kobold below killing it instantly. Standing in the cauldron Bhoors is just tall enough to fire an arrow at the far white scaled kobold. The arrow flies true but just misses. Ruthviren climbs down the chain slowly and out of the cauldron drawing his large hammer as he does. ------------------------------------------------------------ The toad above Farid drops to attack with is gooey tusks but misses. The other toad shoots a ball of slime at Serila but it sails wide hitting the wall across the room. The kobold on the toad throw his last javelin at Serila as well but it also misses failing to the ground harmless. The blue scaled kobold in the doorway draws a wicked looking dagger on a chain and whips it at Ruthviren but the warrior parries the attack. The white scaled kobold finishes mumbling and throws a hand full of sand in the air toward the group. Spellcraft DC 16:
Sleep Most of you feel the magic grab you but you are able to resist but Farid falls to the ground. Farid:
You are asleep.
Farid
DM Screen:
Serila follows the warriors down the chain and as she does her magical light float down into the room. As the lights move down you can now see most of the room. The shaft drops down into a large, mostly square chamber. A doorway opens in one wall, while two other walls have been broken through from the outside. Cramped, narrow natural tunnels beckon from beyond the breached walls.
Farid
Bhoors quickly slides down the chain reaching the bottom just above the large cauldron. Ruthviren follows the ranger but is much slower only making it down the chain 10 feet just barely being able to hold on to the chain with the weight of his armor pulling on him. When you both get down below the ceiling level you can see Farid wrestling with a giant albino toad that is attached to a wall to the west and a blue scaled kobold prone on the ground below it. You also see a second blue scaled kobold mounted on another giant albino toad that is attached to the south wall. Other movement can be heard in the room but you can't see who or what is making the sound. ------------------------------------------------------------ The kobold on the floor stands up and draws out a wicked looking dagger attached to a chain. The mounted kobold on the south wall throws a javelin at Bhoors but it sails wide. Bhoors you can make out a faint out line of two figures as they move into the room from the north. One mumbles something in a language you don't know then the other one throws a javelin at you but it misses as well.
Farid
DM Screen:
Farid:
With amazing agility you fling yourself at one of the mounted kobolds. Not expecting the wild tactic the blue scaled kobold is caught off guard and is knocked from is mount falling to the ground 10 feet below. The toad bucks wildly as you hold on to the reins made of a crude rope.
Farid
DM Screen:
Serila, Bhoors and Ruthviren see Farid down about 20 feet and then hear him growl in pain as 2 javelins stick into him. You then see him leap from the chain out of sight.
Serila and Ruthviren: While testing the pulley system you notice that it is crude but effective and also devious. The kobolds purposefully rigged this elevator to malfunction if too much weight is placed inside. After testing it you are sure you have learned how to use it to move from level to level.
Farid easily descends the chain into the dark pit. Farid:
You can just see the bottom of the chain and the large cauldron lying on the stone floor about 30 feet down. You make you way down about 20 feet and hear garbled sounds much like kobolds speaking but you can't understand them. You see in the dim light of the room two blue scaled kobolds riding on large albino toads that are walking up the walls on either side of the hole in the ceiling. Just then they both throw javelins at you. One hits you in the leg the other in the side.
DM Screen:
The halfling nods at Farid. "Yes, yes of course. The leader hold power with his magical abilities and his elite guard all ride large albino toads that can climb the wall and even hang on the ceiling. The tribe mainly live in a large cavern in the middle of a maze of tunnels. Take the left path once you descend to get to it. Other then that I don't remember much."
