Izni Shield Blocked the last hit. She's only down 4.

"Sea serpents, certainly."

Izni puts her shield back up, and steps back to make room for Precious. She directs the cat to move up and attack!

↺ Shield Block, with Hardness 3

"Yes, a snake!" says Izni distractedly as the creature's claws damage her shield more than herself, "Dragons are a kind of worm, you know. Right. Precious, UP! And at them!"

The cat pulls herself up, and bounds back into the fray to help surround the creature.

◆◆ Cast heal animal. Healing: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
◆ Command an Animal

"Hrm." Precious was hurt worse, but it was probably more important to get Jakub back up to handle these creatures.

Izni steps back away, shouting "Jakub! Stop being lazy and get up!"

◆ Raise Shield
◆◆ Cast heal. Hopefully it can do RS. Healing for Jakub: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Dying Check: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Precious Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

"They're not animals, they can understand us. Hmph. You know, I wouldn't let an animal do that, but at least I'd understand it. These things are very rude!"

Izni hops up onto the deck, bringing herself closer to both the things and to Precious, ready to both heal and harm.

She starts with harm. "Good thing I didn't waste this on the plant wall, aye?"

◆ Stride
◆◆ Use scroll of burning hands. DC 16 basic Reflex save for Red and Green vs fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

"Hm. What are those things. Precious! Get closer!"

Izni raises the shield she's had in her hand all along but hasn't yet had an opportunity to use while she analyzes the... things. Precious gets closer, but takes a relatively safe position.

"I think this is what Granny hired us to find," says Izni, holding up the hedge trimmers.

"Hm. I am Izni, and this is my dragon Precious. Our current task shouldn't take much longer, and then we intend to return home for a time. If you would like to visit our.. maze" (it's not.. wrong?) "you could simply come with us."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"It's a dragon!"

Arcana: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

"I'm not sure what kind." Izni points, and then addresses the creature in Draconic. "Yes, hilarious. I don't suppose you can help us find something? Finding things is a much better game!"

"Hey, that's my Precious! Circle and strike, Precious!"

The cat moves around the badger and attacks from a better position. It looks like Izni may need some healing magic soon enough, but for the moment she casts another blast of cold.

◆ Command Animal
>◆ Step to flank
>◆ Strike Jaws: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 for piercing damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 and precision damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
◆◆ Ray of frost spell attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 for cold damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

"Directions, I said! Oh, fine then. I did try. You all saw it!"

Immobilizing it doesn't seem... helpful, so Izni focuses on her now-favorite cold spell. "Get 'er, Precious!"

◆◆ Ray of Frost spell attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for cold damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
◆ Command Animal
> ◆ Stride to flank
> ◆ Strike Jaws: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 for piercing: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 and precision damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

"Maybe I can talk to it." Izni waves at the animal and remembers what she knows about mammals. "Excuse us! We're sorry to intrude here. We're just looking for one thing and we'll be on our way. Can we ask you for some directions?"

Diplomacy w/Wild Empathy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"Oh, hang on. I think that may have been Fish Language."

Izni's fingers twitch over her scroll of fire magic. If not now, when will she get a chance to use it? And the other kobolds approve!

She sighs and drops her hand to her side.

"I'd rather not burn down plants, and I'm not sure it will even work since I only have one scroll and it might not be enough--it looks thick. It might attract aggressive attention, too. We should at least look to see if there's another way in, first."

"Hm. Shall I burn it down?"

"Oh. Oh dear." Izni accepts a cookie. So the "vault" was that close to the surface, with a surface dwelling over it. That means...
Well. Clearly Granny never went into her basement anyway, given how bad the situation got down there.

"Thank you Granny. We were just... clearing out some fungal growth in the basements of the what do they call it? neighgorbood. Some nasty stuff down there. We had to clear out someold junk, I'm afraid. Contaminated. But of course we'll help! That's what we're here for, apparently."

"Hey! That's my Precious! Get your own dragon!" But the cat is too far away for her to help at the moment.. she'll just have to wait a few more seconds.

Izni shoulders her shield, but stows her dagger and grabs for a roll of parchment from her pouch. She pushes forward, getting into position.

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Swap dagger for scroll
◆ Stride (provokes from horse if it has RS assuming that thing on the map is some kind of obstacle [fence?] that blocks movement--if she can just walk over that then she can stay out of reach)
Precious's Dying Check: 1d20 ⇒ 4; failure, Dying 2

"Hm. No thank you."

Izni casts a spell, blasting a bolt of icy blue cold at the creepy doll. "Doll looks human. Think this stuff had human owners before it was lost?" She doesn't wait for an answer before snapping her fingers at Precious. "Sic 'em!"

◆◆ Cast Ray of Frost spell attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 for cold damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7. On a crit it also takes a -10-foot status penalty to its Speeds.
◆ Command an Animal
> ◆ Stride
> ◆ Stride

Izni casts a healing spell on her cat. "It's easier with animals. I have a stronger connection, probably because they never say anything stupid."

The other kobolds she tends with mundane skill.

Heal animal. But no particular prep in mind. Too bad I already used magic fang, though...

Izni hisses. How dare these dogs bite her Precious little dragon? "Bite it back!"

As the cat moves to strike, Izni casts a beam of blue cold... directly into the floor. "You got in my way!" she snaps at nobody in particular.

◆ Command an Animal
> ◆ Step to flank
> ◆ Strike Jaws: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 for piercing damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5
◆◆ Cast ray of frost spell attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 for cold damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

"Yecht. Foul!"

Izni lays a hand on Precious, empowering her with magic. She then hisses to indicate that the cat should strike.

She circles around to attack the foul thing. But the proud animal doesn't seem to want to bite something that smells like that, and who can blame her?

◆◆ Cast magic fang on Precious
◆ Command Animal
> ◆ Stride (this will provoke RS from Blue, if applicable)
> ◆ Strike Jaws: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8 for piercing damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"Not a very useful poison," sniffs Izni, "unless you're planning a murder. You'd need to get your enemies to eat it and it takes a while to take effect." The drui pauses, then shrugs and collects the toadstools. "Better than just leaving them here, though. We can always dispose of them later."

She waves her hand at Pop. "I wouldn't bother, unless you're planning to use it. We can collect it all on our way out. Carrying it while exploring doesn't help us." She still takes some time to look over the tool sets.

"Oh, we're doing that then."
Though it was a reasonable enough response, as this person clearly wasn't a very reasonable sort themself.

Izni tries to identify the fungal foe while motioning for Precious to circle around and attack from behind. And while supporting her with a bit of magic.

◆ Recall Knowledge, Nature +6. Any concerning special abilities?
◆ Cast guidance on Precious
◆ Command Animal
> ◆ Stride (Precious easily circles around without provoking RS--she's fast--assuming normal reach)
> ◆ Strike jaws: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20 for piercing damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Well, I suppose that's one way to handle it."

Fine with me.

"Why don't we simply move some of the haphazard items and stack them (better) elsewhere?" says Izni. "Precious! Here, push some of these heavier things over there..."

Izni sets to work moving things, with her rather large cat doing the heavy lifting.

Izni has Assurance Athletics and can get a guaranteed Athletics: 10 + 3 = 13.
But if I can roll for Precious instead, Precious Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"Let Precious take some hits," Izni scowls as Precious pokes at the fallen bug, "I have an easier time magically healing her. For us, it's a more difficult spell. I'm only prepared to do it once!"

She takes out her medical kit instead. "But let's see what I can do for you physically..."

Assuming nothing interrupts her...
Medicine to Treat Wounds Jakub: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Oof. Hero Point: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Success for Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 3) = 11 Fully heals him.
Medicine to Treat Wounds Pop: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Well... dang.

After about 20 minutes, Jakub is perfectly ready to go but Izni hasn't made much progress working on Pop. The smell is getting to her.

"Hmph. Not sure how much that helped."

If we want to wait an hour I can try again. Izni also has one heal prepared.

"I specifically asked you not to get so beaten up!" says Izni grumpily.

Precious hisses and tears at the beetle next to her, while Izni focuses on one of the other ones.

◆ Command an Animal
> ◆ Strike Green Jaws: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 for piercing damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
> ◆ Strike Green Claws: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 4 = 6 for slashing damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
◆◆ Cast Ray of Frost on Yellow (relatively clear shot) Spell Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for cold damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

"Tsk. Remember, giant insects are an important part of the natural world. A disgusting part. Get them, Precious!"

The bugs are on the other side of the room, which is fine with Izni. She casts a burst of cold at one of the bugs from her safe spot behind the coat rack which Precious moves in.

◆◆ Cast ray of frost on Red. It probably has some cover, but it's a long-range spell. Spell attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 for cold damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4. On a crit, it also takes -10 to speed.
◆ Command an Animal
> ◆ Stride
> ◆ Stride

"Hm. Books."

Books were interesting, but first priority is securing the place. Izni keeps her trowel and shield at the ready, while nudging Precious forward a little.

Defend

A middle-aged kobold with white scales appraises the others. "Hmph. Izni. You probably know me as the mushroom farmer. What makes me such a good farmer, though, is that I can use a little primal magic. So I can do some healing, but not too much so try not to stay in one piece!"

She nudges an enormous house cat, nearly as big as she is. "This is Precious. I'm sure she'll have to do most of the fighting."
