Ash nods in assent and darts towards the entrance, her experience in battle commanding her to obey her "commanding officer". Once at her destination, the healer turns her attention to Gandel and asks, "Do you require any healing?"
"" Suny explains, again indicating for the Kobold monster to come and take his...its...best shot at her.
"You heard her, move. NOW!!
Gandel's shot hits the kobold creature, wounding it further. Suny then just barely hits it and then Thorn hits it again, severely wounding it.
"You're tougher than I thought! But I'll destroy you yet!" says the kobold-like being as it flees back the way it came.
Gandel sighs with relief when the kobold-demon flees. The gnome sinks to his knees, barely holding himself up with his crossbow.
"So, Ash," he asks weakly, "got any healing magic?"
Suny hurries over to her friends to offer what little help she can.
"Um, sorry fer th' yellin' an' stuff..." She blushes as she helps take the weight of Gandel. "C'mon mate, lets get you back in here under some cover." She helps carry the wounded Gnome further back into the room.
"Bloody coward. I could'a finished 'im an' saved us traipsin' all over th' place. Now we gott'a go find th' bugger." She mutters.
"Um, Ash? Ye can fix 'im, right?" Suny looks to her Elven friend.
He's behind a corner.
"Odds are he's setting up a trap for us while he's healing, but I want everyone back on their feet before we move."
She turns towards the unarmed Suny. "What exactly was your brillant idea dropping your weapon and calling him like that?"
"Odds are he's setting up a trap for us while he's healing, but I want everyone back on their feet before we move."
She turns towards the unarmed Suny. "What exactly was your brillant idea dropping your weapon and calling him like that?"
Suny drops her head, blond ahir falling forwads as she blushes,
"Ah, well, y'se I were gon'a hope t' entangle th' lil' bugger an' fall int'a th' tub," She flicks a thumb over her shoulder to indicate the pool of water behind her, "Then all I'd have t' do is hang on an' see how long he could hold his breath, like." A sudden thought strikes her and she spins and drops down onto her hands and knees.
"O' course, if'n this be just a wadein' pool...." She mutter to herself.
As Gandel groans in Ash's care, Suny scoots over,
"He's gon'a be okay, right? C'n we help?" Suny indicates Thorn and herself, "Does extra people help wi' th' layin' on hands an' stuff?" She asks, concern evident in her voice, worry in her eyes.
"Does extra people help wi' th' layin' on hands an' stuff?" She asks, concern evident in her voice, worry in her eyes.
"Actually, yes!" Gandel fervently exclaims to Suny's question. "Well known fact! The more hands laid on the poor wounded soul the better!" he says with a mischievous grin.
Gandel's expression becomes serious as he turns to Ash.
"Thank you," he says sincerely. "You saved my life."
The gnome grabs all three women in a tight hug for a moment. Releasing them, he exclaims, "Now let's get that scaly S-O-B! I'm gonna wear his head for a helmet!"
"Now let's get that scaly S-O-B! I'm gonna wear his head for a helmet!""
Releasing her friends Suny stands and checks her x-bow.
"Lets get serious." She growls menacingly as she stalks carefully towards the door way.
Less than an inch, it's just a puddle.
At realizing what her 'plan' would have ended up looking like, Suny blushes.
"Um, m'ybe th' next time I get me a plan? Some one bonk me on'a head so's I lose it just as quick, okeys?" She hunches her shoulders and continues to creep towards the doorway/entrance to the room.
Thorn glances over at Suny and flashes her a momentary smile. "Will do"
Bow leveled she proceeds to the corner swinging around it in a wide step.
"If we see this bastard, remember don't close until we've sofened him up at range."
Suny kneels at the corner of the corridor leading out of the room.sighting down her x-bow for any Kobolds to shoot.
"Um, Gandel? Not to put too much a burden on ye, but ye want's t' be checkin' th' room behind, just t' make sure we've not left any shiny layin' about?" She asks softly over a shoulder.
Going back to the entrance room you see no creatures there.
"Dun't know rightly where th' lil' bugger's got to." Suny whispers peering intently off into the darkness.
There is no trace of the creature. However it seems likely that he went back to the kobold lair, considering the direction he went.
"Alright guys, let's move forward, same setup as before, Gandel if you come across something ugly, fall back."
Suny grimly nods at Thorns' words, stands and gets ready to move on/out.
There is no trace of the creature. However it seems likely that he went back to the kobold lair, considering the direction he went.
Perception Check to find tracks:
Gandel leads the way, crossbow loaded and ready.
"Well, which way shall we go, ladies?" Gandel asks.
"Well, which way shall we go, ladies?" Gandel asks.
"I'm followin' yur pert self, luv." Suny happily informs Gandel, "Yu've th' knack fer spottin' trouble, though I'd e guessin' we might head right?" She shrugs.
"There be those double doors, but that does seem to head aways t'wards th' critter we ant t' be snottin'." She finishes.
Gandel can't find any traces of the creature's passing.
Gandel sighs as he surveys the entrance chamber. "Well, ladies, I guess we won't get anywhere by dancing around the problem. Let's take it to 'em!"
Gandel heads to the door on the northern wall, checking for traps (and to see if the pit trap has been re-activated).
Perception Check:
The pit trap has indeed been reactivated.
Suny looks at the door and the face Gandel pulls upon finishing his examination of said portal.
"Say, Gandel? Whut're th' odds of ye takin' said piece o' lumber of'n its hinges? Why dunt we use th' thing fer ourselves, instead o' th' Ko-boily's hidin' behind it?" She whispers then looks to Thorn.
"Um, is ye gonna be bonken me on'a head yet?" She asks innocently of her freind.
Gandel turns to Thorn and Suny. "Shall we do this like before?" he asks. "I'll open the door and then drop to the floor to disable the pit trap while you three shoot at anything in the room?"
You are able to disable the trap without incident. It seems the creature did not remain here.
"Okeys," Suny whispers, "In we go?"
She hefts her x-bow and prepares to look and shoot into the room before them.
The room is pretty much the way you left it, sans corpses. There are still bloodstains where the kobolds you slew fell however.
Thorn squats down to determine the direction in which the bodies have been moved.
"Let's see if we can pick up any signs of life either behind these double doors or down the passageway leading to the drake den," Gandel suggests.
"Let's see if we can pick up any signs of life either behind these double doors or down the passageway leading to the drake den," Gandel suggests.
"I'm followin' yer lead, luv." Suny acknowledges to Gandel. ll the while her x-bow shifts as she looks to the unexplored entrances to the room.
