Kobold Stronghold

Fizziwik stabs at the creature with his lance and then moves Gerty a bit away so he can see down the corridor. ((25 to hit, for 5 damage))

Otyugh Slot 2 Post As Kellen moves away from the creature, drawing an attack, it swoops in with its tentacle and grabs her up but she wiggles out at the last moment and gets away.     What's this .. you are tiny like a kobold but you are no kobold .. and that one is a human .. and these don't belong here.  You poke your little nose where it does not belong.  You have brought death down upon yourself. Gerty sees several figures moving into the chamber now .. their draconic voices rising up and echoing within the room.     The otyugh turns its attention to the creatures swimming in the water around it.  It grabs at prytania scooping her up in the air after slapping Kyros back down into the water.  It holds her in one of its tentacles.   This one is a human for sure .. It smells awful. // Two tentacle hits and a grab to finish against prytania. Next Slot 3 Post

Kobolds Turn Slot 2 Kobolds swarm into the chamber.  Some crawl through tunnels to appear along the sides of the chamber while others stand with shields guarding some sort of kobold shaman.  Their draconic voices rise together.   Draconic:   You bring death upon you this day.  You will not survive to take our dragon from us for she will turn you into ash. Next Slot 3  

The beast's tentacles managed to distract Prytania, as the third rushed from below water and grabbed her waist. She jetted upwards in a scream as the beast lifted her from the water. In panic, her hand rushed to her pocket and grabbed her unholy symbol, as she always does. Her mind focusing on the talisman. Feeding from her fear, a shockwave of negative energy swept the cavern, dealing massive damage to every enemy around her.  (OOC: Channel negative energy, excluding all of my allies, dealing 14 damage [DC 17 to halves]. Starts to hold her breath, just in case)

     The Gnome Paladin rushes past Ren, attack the large creature from the water. Seeing that most of his companions were occupied with the creature and knowing he couldn't fight well in water he elected to go for the Kobalds.      Ren rushes towards the two Kobald soldiers that had just announced themselves. They snarled at him. Just as he reached within 5ft of the creatures, he drew his sword. In one large side-cut he aimed to take down both critters in one hit. The first kobald reacted and moved back, still getting a large gash but keeping his head, the secound wasn't so lucky.      Looking at his fallen companion the mini dragon-creature didn't look happy.  Actions: Move up the the 2 Kobalds and draw weapon.  Tidal Blade Maneuver  Fighting Defensively in Crane Style  Hitting both Kobalds Attack Rolls - 20, 23  Damage Rolls - 8, 11

((The 2 scouts in range got a 1 and an 8, the shield scale got a 7 and the otyugh got a 14 on their saves, so they all took the full 14)) Fizziwik punches Gerty into a charge at the creature but Gerty pulls up short in front of the water and Fizziwik's lance swings high, missing his target.

Kellen, deciding the sorcerer was not the biggest threat, dropped his kukri. Drawing his shortbow he fired at the distracted monster, tearing at its flesh. ((OOC move and draw shortbow, fire at otyugh. hit with 27 for 14 damage))

Slot 3 A few moments later and the army of kobolds that poured in was reduced to a pile of corpses.  The remaining kobolds did their best to fight back with little success.  A ray of fire lept from the shaman's fingertips scorching ren but it was not enough to end him, and he was only one of the intruders.  The kobolds would not hold out much longer as the party turned their attention to taking them down systematically.  What remained of the otyugh dropped prytania into the water and after striking Kyros again with great force as he tried to surface again, he grabbed him and held his body under the water (role play flavor)  Kyros held on to life with a mere thread but hope remained his friends would rescue him in time. Next Slot 1 // Prytania do the bleed because I  realize don't know how much to take after all .. lol

// Bleed takes away 5 more hit points. Still one more bleed turn left. //

CONTINGENCY (Slot 1)     A kobald got behind Ren and the one in front stayed. Fortunately both of them were not great warriors. Parrying the Kobald in front and twisting his body to avoid the one in the back Ren prepared for another attack. Suddenly, the shaman started chanting and moans and a ball of fire appeared and flew at Ren, landing a good hit. Dammit, that one's annoying. Regardless, Ren still swing's his sword at the Kobald in front, cutting it's head of in the process.  Actions: Attacking Kobald - 23  Damage - 9 

Contingency (Slot 1) Prytania fell into the water as the monster dropped her to focus on Kyros. The beast was dying, horribly consumed and bleeding profusely... But seeing Kyros's inert body shaken by the tentacles, she decided not to risk it and finish it off once and for all. As her armor dragged her into the waters, she unleashed a last shockwave that consumed whatever life was left in he monster. (OOC Channel negative energy, 8 damage; Will DC 17. Swim check -1[Yes, negative 1])

Contingency slot 1 Kellen sneaks around the side passage, and using his fading strike teleports behind the Kobold Sorcerer. One Stealthy swing slashes the creatures vitals, bringing it down. (23 to hit, 25 damage, 38 stealth )

Fizziwik turns back to the kobold in front of Ren and stabs him in the back for lethal damage. ((9 damage, 27 mounted combat))

Slot 1 // Staying In Rounds but I will move rounds along as enough people have posted.  Take 3 turns for your round.  For each individual movement note movement and perception checks.  Give me movements (moving, aiding others, etc) and perceptions. Draw a line on the map to show the "path" of any movements outside the big chamber only (I will delete these later)  If you have trapspotter give me a perception followed by a trapspotter roll With the death of the kobolds the chamber grows quiet giving the party a chance to continue exploring the kobold stronghold. The party works to help each other out. Kyros is sinking to the bottom of a green lake. // Remember that if you interact with the water you need to give me a fortitude save. Next Slot 2

Round 1 Fizziwik moves towards the edge of the water, and seeing that a friend is almost unconscious channels positive energy, healing Ren, Pyrtanian and Kyros ((4 hps healed - noted on your tokens already)). Round 2 Moves beside Pyrtania and offers to take part of the rope, which he ties about the pommel on Gerty's saddle, waiting for Kyros to grab ahold of the rope, at which point he'll get Gerty to move backward. Round 3 Assuming the rope/assist/pull trick works and Kyros is out of the water, then Fizzy will give him a potion of cure light to drink.

Round 1 Prytania shaked her head and swam ashore as fast as she could, managing to get a hold on solid ground, while recovering her breath. (2x swim checks: 12, 12) Round 2 After climbing up, Prytania removed her backpack, and picked up her rope, throwing it at Kyros, trying to help him out of the water: " Fetch! " Round 3 She gathers everyone, and casts magic circle against chaos on herself (Affects everyone in a 10ft radius).

Round 1      After sheathing his sword, Ren takes a package of Medical Poultice and applies it to his burn wound. It sting's a bit, but the effects of it's healing could be felt immediately. He watches as Prytania and Fizzwik. try to get Kyros out of the water.  Round 2     Taking a full round action to regain the tidal blade maneuver.  Round 3     Ren is going to search through the nearby Kobalds for a map or anything that would be helpful.  Actions: Applying the Poultice (DC 12) - Heal 23 - for 5 Rounds  Searching through Kobalds (not sure if roll is needed but if it is assume taking 10)

Kellen spends the first round moving back through the tunnels, and regaining Fading strike and Offensive Roll maneuvers.(perception 22, Trapspotter 31. The second round he will help ren search the kobolds (perception 22, Trapspotter 31) for the third he will be actively looking for traps around the tunnels (perception 25, searching 41 (nat 20), Trapspotter  31) ((cant get into VTT because im in classes RN))

Issachar, overcoming his initial reluctance, leaps into the hole, grabbing the rope on his way down (Str 16) and flipping over the much to land on dry ground (Acro 16).  He looks around, with his bow drawn, looking for signs of danger (Perception 18) Seeing Kyros possibly drowning, he drops his bow, pack, and sword, jumps into the water, and attempts to swim out and pull him back (Fort 22, Swim 13) Grabbing Kyros under his arms, Issachar swims back to the bank (Swim 18) and pulls him out onto the moist earth.

Slot 2 Searching the kobolds you find some useful items.  No maps however.   scouts:  alchemists fire x 2, tanglefoot bag x2, mw thieves tools x2, cure light wounds x2, small mw daggers x2 soldiers:  small MW steel shields x2, small MW swords x2, cure serious potions x2 sorcerer:  silver dragon ring with blue eyes, cloak of woven purple with a dragon design on the back. Do the same for the next 3 rounds As far as I could tell you did not go INTO the smaller caves or further up into the complex.   Kellen I moved you into the south tunnels but if you want a different way that is fine just change that and give me rolls. Next Slot 3

Issachar grabs the ring and cloak and suggests Kellen put them on.   Perhaps, from a distance, they might think you are their friend, allowing me to feather them from a distance.   He nocks his bow and follows behind Kellen heading down the south passage, looking everywhere for danger (Perception 25).

Fizziwik sticks with Issachar, lance at the ready.

Kellen reluctantly attempts to disguise himself, pulling the hood forward, and keeping to the shadows. (stealth of 31)
