That's too bad... I will NPC you, and any time you can pop in, I will let you tell me Hranos' actions. School crap is over! Let us continue...
Enzor's spell puts the two, dull-minded kobolds to sleep . Mercy's attack misses, and the three remaining kobolds fly into a rage. One lunges at Mercy, another Bodan, and the third Hranos. The first two miss, but the third catches Hranos in the leg. Bodan's kick quickly dispatches the kobold in front of her, leaving one by Hranos and one by Mercy. Hranos cannot return the blow from the kobold.
Initiative:
Enzor: 15
Dessy: 13
Mercy: 13
Bodan: 8
Hranos: 7
Darn, I hate getting hit.
Enzor makes a few gestures as he focuses on a bit of leather. He says something incomprehensible as he touches Bo-dan. An invisible forcefield shapes into armour around her.
After that, Enzor backs up, out of harms way, into the mouth of the cave.
An invisible forcefield shapes into armour around her.
Mercy aims two blows at the nearest awake kobold, missing with the first as she shrugs off the last of the blanket she had wrapped around her arm, but connecting solidly with the second .
Main hand = 9, off hand = 19 possible crit (1d20-1=9, 1d20-1=19)
Enzor casts the spell, and steps back from danger, as Mercy rushes forward. She drops the kobold stupid enough to mess with her. Dessy scouts out for injuries in the background, and the remaining two kobolds attack. squeal in fear, and both rush back for the whole in the cave.
Hranos grunts as he lunges at the kobold trying to weasel its way out of a sticky situation.
1d20+4=9
He misses, and as the kobold retreats he can only yell, "Get back here you little rat!"
Mercy won't try to pursue the fleeing kobolds at this time. Instead, she'll move over to Hranos to look him over, see how bad he's hurt.
"I'm fine, they just got a little nick on me. Where did those monsters come from?" He peers into the whole, but he's too big to fit, and the cave extends into into the darkness.
"I'm not sure. Either they came through this cave and set up camp inside the crack, or that crack leads to another entrance."
Mercy cannot see any airflow affecting the torch.
[cough]Bump[/cough]
"I believe that the little creatures have found the only way into this crevice," Mercy says. "There are no drafts batting the flame of this torch, which means there are no air currents to suggest another entrance. We can wait them out, and doubtless have little trouble with them, as long as they have no more numbers than we've already seen. Or we can simply set up camp and keep a watchful eye for them, departing in the morning and giving their cave back to them. But if either of us is to claim this cave uncontested, then we'll either have to flush them out and drive them off, or leave of our own accord and leave the cave to them. What say the rest of you?"
"I say we rest here, keep an eye on them, and depart when the storm is gone."
Mercy will check the wind and the sky for clues to the storm's distance and duration. Unfortunately, she can tell little more than she already knew, that it would strike sometime this day.
Just as calm after the fight as she was before it, Bo-dan sits in a meditative position and says "We obviously need the rest, and this seems the only likely shelter from the storm. If we keep a sufficient guard on the entrances, perhaps even blocking them, we should be able to rest undisturbed. These creatures merely seem to be defending their home, so I am not inclined to ferret them out and destroy them. If they attack us no further I am content to leave them be."
With that she closes her eyes and begins a series of meditations. She is completely awake and aware however and will respond to any comments directed to her.
Before she closes her eyes, Desi notices a quick glance in her direction from the Monk, as if to say 'I have not forgotten what we shared, have you?'
[ooc] And honestly I can't recall if Bo-Dan was injured or not...it seems like a Long time ago :P {/ooc]
Hranos glances up at Bodan as she speaks these words. "I agree. I recall a time when I had to defend my home, also. I think that we should leave them in peace, but still fend off any attack." He feels bad about the outburst he had earlier, as he thinks of that kobold's life before they had disturbed it.
"Anyway, we need to set up camp. I suggest we use the front part of the cave, with a guard at the passage back here. We don't need to worry about protecting the front of the cave, obviously." He says, looking out at the downpour.
Nobody can judge how long it will be until the rain will stop. But the group prepares for a long stay, making camp in the front part of the cave.
"We should keep at least two people awake at any given time, one to watch the front entrance - the rain could still drive others to this shelter - and one to watch the rear entrance and be alert for the little creatures we fought earlier. At no time should Desi and Enzor be the only persons awake, either - there should always be at least one person with an able blade - or kick (looking at Bo-dan) - awake, should we have need of quick defense.
"That would mean that Hranos, Bo-dan and I should each maintain a separate watch, with one of us sharing the watch with Desi and one with Enzor. One of us will have to double up a watch, and since my people need less sleep than humans, that should be me. So I will volunteer to take the first watch, perhaps with Enzor?" With a wry smile, she adds, "And I am sure Bo-dan and Desi would not object to sharing the second watch. Then I could share the third watch with Hranos.
"Unless anyone has other suggestions."
Bo-Dan is quite content with this plan.
Enzor agrees
"Sounds like a plan, but who wants to go first?"
1st Watch: Mercy and Enzor
2nd Watch: Bo-dan and Desi
3rd Watch: Hranos and Mercy
I'm still here.. kinda wonderin what happened myself..
