A'loran steps up "ask and Ye shall receive" with a quick arcane gesture one of Anmuspi's arrows is radiating light.
"I'll be in the back providing support. Lets conserve as much energy as possible cleaning out the rest of their lair. It seems that heavy armor is working well against them. Unless of course your caught in a trap. If we run into a large group of them I'll hit them with a sleep spell. That should knock some of them out but they'll still need to be run through before they become awake." A'loran then prepares himself at the back of the group... with his sack of heads.
To Kava:
"The scriptures of the Raven Queen bring me peace."
I'll follow Kava and stand adjacent (Z19, or Z20). If no one provides a light, I will strike a sunrod and stow it in my belt.
The sunrod is still giving 10 squares of bright light.

"If the previous experience of these devils (no offense intended *usk-sthyr*) is anything to judge, whomever is in the next room shall attempt to coax us into some trap or other, while assailing us from a distance or while immobilised. Shall we illuminate the situation and see what challenges us ranger?"
"That's seems like a reasonable plan - I am fine with clearing them out from a distance.
Anmuspi moves to AA23 and fires the light arrow to AJ28.
"oh... I'm so tempted to blindly run in again... Just kidding"
"hmmm" Kava wonders out loud, she walks back and takes a sling and a bag of stones/bullets from one of Brianna's neat piles of loot.

Anmuspi heads down the stairs and launches an arrow into the room and everyone hears it clatter against stone. This chamber looks like it was once a tomb, but the kobolds have transformed it into what you might almost call a playground.
Four stone coffins lie here, with a sludge-filled pit between them. On the opposite end of the room is a pair of wooden double doors. Flanking the double doors are two raised platforms, both 10 feet above the floor. Two kobolds stand on each platform.
Arrayed on the coffins are several animal skulls, all of them arranged in small piles. One kobold holds a sludge-drenched stone tied to a long rope that is secured in the ceiling.
can you repost the link to the dungeon? Easier to navigate. :)

"I am thinking Demon and Anmupsi taking cover behind the stone tombs and attacking them from a distance. Sergent and I will be ready to charge whatever comes out of that gate. Be wary of that paste those slingers throw. It stuck Brianna in place when we entered." The last bit she informs Sergeant Block remembering he wasn't with them at the entrance.
"A'loran. That thunder spell might come in handy blowing them back off the platform."

"A'loran. That thunder spell might come in handy blowing them back off the platform."
"What?!? whats wrong with hiding behind the tombs and blasting them from afar." Nodding his head at the plan "besides my teleport is pretty taxing. I could get up there but if I got in trouble I wouldn't be able to get out again. Lets concentrate on the slinger on the left side first."
"demon why don't you take the corner where Anmuspi is since you probably won't make it all the way to the tombs and still be able to attack one. Anmuspi, I'll be following you up"
Anmuspi dodges into the room and does a spurious shoulder roll to end up behind the far coffin. From there he lines up his shot targeting S2, and let's loose a stream of arrows.
With a low chuckle, Demon moves forward quickly, crouching behind the first sarcophagus.
Anmuspi rolls into position and looses two arrows at once. At the last second the arrows seperate; one into S2 and one into K2. K2 falls backwards with an arrow in his chest. Westman nods in approval as Anmuspi aims a couple more arrows. The first arrow ends S2's life and the second arrow finds a home in S1's shoulder.
Demon follows Anmuspi and ducks behind a coffin. A'loran is right on Demon's heels (having expected the construct to stop on the stairs) and nearly hits Demon with an energy dart when they get behind the coffin.
Brianna moves into the room quickly, staying low and moving up and around a coffin, using it for cover as best she can.
As soon as Brianna moves into position, K1 steps forward and lets go of what appears to be a glowing green rock suspended from the cieling by a rope. It swings down in a narrow arc, barely missing Brianna, and back up to towards the other ledge. Another kobold comes to the top of that ledge just in time to grab the rope.
Block follows Kava closely down the stairs. At the bottom, he draws a javelin from a sling on his back and hurls it across the room at S2.
Kava nails the kobold right between the eyes with a sling stone. The kobold goes crosseyed and pitches forward, off the ledge.
Westman block proves handy with a javelin as his lands in S1's gut.
S1 launches a glue pot at Brianna before moving out of view.
Anmuspi steps over Brianna, moves forward to the far coffin, focuses on K3, rips off a shot, and then dodges around the far side of that coffin.
"Pardon me Bri, maybe I can draw their fire while you break free..."
Anmuspi's arrow sinks deep into K3's skull. He collapses and the rope he was holding stays up on the ledge.
"His eyes burning again, Demon curses the remaining creature, and blasts him with his Eldritch power.
"that was very impressive Anmupsi"
Sorry guys, maybe I wasn't clear. S1 cannot be seen from from ground level. Demon and A'loran should repost with this in mind.
I'll move there and ready to magic missle the first viable target
"They throw the glue at me because the know how dangerous the small can be!" Brianna says back to Kava with a wink then works on freeing herself.
[
A'loran moves forward and prepares to cast.
Brianna fails to free herself.
Then a kobold appears at the top of the southern ledge and tries to grab the rope. A'loran flings a magical dart at it, but misses. It then swings the muddy rock across at A'loran. The heavy rock strikes the wall, leaving a smear of greenish sludge, then swings back toward the kobold.
Demon's ball of energy sends the kobold flying backwards.
.
Kava hustles over to the doors, weapon in hand.
Block hustles up to stand beside Kava. Along the way, he sizes up the wall.
To Kava: "Unless this door is not barred, we may need to climb up there!"
The slinger appears just long enough to whip a stone at Demon before shifting back out of sight. Luckily it's deflected by the ledge.
Brianna keeps trying to free herself trusting on the others to deal with the skirmishing kobolds.
"I hope he pops up again...I'll cover anyone who wants to climb up"
"before you guys climb up let me clear the way."
A'loran dissappears, and reappears on the northern platform. He taps his staff on the ground and you hear the yelp of a kobold.
The Thunderwave also manages to push a large reptile that waited at the base of the stairs. A'loran recognizes it as a guard drake. The drake recovers and bounds up the stairs to bite A'loran.
[occ]A'loran is hit for 5 points. Demon's turn, then Kava.[/ooc]
"awww crap who left one of these here. Uuummm guys... they have a guard drake"
Guard drakes are common pets with keen senses. In the wild, they’re pack predators not unlike wolves, and their clutches sometimes include spitting drakes.
Before the drake reaches the top of the stairs, A'loran rushes through an incantation and hurls an orb. Unfortunately, in his haste the orb misses completely.
