Wil lays on the ground, unaware of what’s going on around him.
Mak shoots several arrows at the nearest Wyvaran, riddling the creature with wooden shafts for a total of 78 damage.
Elyas fires a Magic Missile at one for 19 damage.
Kiwina lashes out at the nearest Wyvaran, hitting the thing with club and foot for 7 and 8 damage.
Rolth circles around to a Wyvaran. He strikes and misses the creature.
Ayotnom withdraws from the combat for now.
Tsak get ready to use his crossbow.
Falco steps to Tsak and heals him for 20 points. (In the future, you may want to roll each d8 separately, since you may reroll any 1’s.)

The sights and sounds of battle rage on.

Wyvaran 3 is in a bad situation. It snarls a battle cry as it lashes out at Kiwina. It hits with its vicious flail for 14 and 13 damage. With each attack, there is a flash of disruptive energy that causes additional 4 and 2 damage. This damages the Wyvaran too for 1 and 1. Finally, he makes a shield bash against the centaur for 9 more damage. Then it takes a 5’ step.

Wyvaran 4 smiles as it sees what it thinks is a soft spellcaster. It avoids provoking an attack as it flies to Elyas and attacks. It says, ”Today you die.” as it hits Elyas for 12 damage and an additional 5 energy damage. This energy hurts the Wyvaran also for 4.

Ayotnom uses his hand of the apprentice universalist wizard school ability to telekinetically throw his rapier at W4 and have it return back to his hand, sadly his aim was off and he missed but the weapon still returns.

Kiwina had engaged the wyvaran he'd been shooting and Mak caught the centaurs look of concern for Elyas, so the young noble archer swiveled and took aim at the fourth wyvaran in this encounter. Previously he'd wanted to take them down as quickly as possible, but his targeted shots were missing too much. He decided instead to go by the old axiom of firing at the center of mass. He'd be more likely to hit, but the damage would be more random from the imprecise shots.

Again Mak drew two arrows and nocked them against the string as he aimed at the wyvaran's thorax and fired. He felt justified when the twin arrow attack hit. He drew and fired again but the third arrow went high. Mak had very little time as Elyas danced about trying to keep from being hit so he fired again with a little better luck as he brought another to bear in his final attempt before the creature set up the wizard for another strike. Mak wasn't hopeful, but he had to try and his perseverance paid off as the arrow bit into the wyvaran's thigh.

"Hey Kobold breath!" Mak yelled across the way. "Pick on someone your own size!"

For the first time in a while, Elyas gets targeted and hit. He sees how injured the creature is, but doesn't want to test his luck going toe-to-claw with it. instead he smiles, saluted and steps back, vanishing. He reappears about 30 feet away, leaving a confused kobold in the middle of the entire party.

Kiwina attacks but misses.
Rolth attacks the nearest Wyvaran, hitting once for 12 damage from a blow to the side of its head. The creature falls to the ground motionless.
Wil lays there, considering his past decisions.
Ayotnom uses magic to attack the remaining Wyvaran, but misses.
Tsak takes a couple shots at the Wyvaran, but misses.
Mak hits with several arrows for 55 damage.
Elyas does a neat little trick, vanishing from sight and appearing 30’ away.
Falco channels energy, healing all his friends for 14 points except for Ayotnom since he is more than 30’ away.

The last Wyvaran is mad Elyas disappeared, and it moves between Elyas and Falco with a roar! (Flies there on a path that will not provoke any AOOs.)

It attacks the Falco, hitting the little birdman for 14 damage with an additional 11 points of disruptive energy. This also damages the Wyvaran for 3 points. The Wyvaran looks pretty beat up, but it fights on.

Mak is enraged at the Wyvaran’s attack on Falco, and fires several arrow for 34 damage.
Wil directs his Spiritual Weapon to attack the thing as well but his attacks miss. (Haste does not apply to a Spiritual Weapon.)
Ayotnom uses his magic to fling his sword at the thing.
Kiwina kicks the thing for 6 more damage, and watches the Wyvaran fall from the combined damage of the Petals.
Rolth rightly judges that the attacks this round will fell the last Wyvaran, and drops his rage as he casts a spell.
Tsak notes these foes were tough, suggesting caution going forward.
Falco heals himself.

As the last foe falls before the combined might of the heroes, the area falls suddenly quiet. Much quieter than it was as they arrived since the surrounding animal and bird noises have stopped as well.

All is calm, all is bright. And there are four dead Wyvarans, blood splashed across their reptilian skin as they lay there in the dirt.

Rolth will add his healing channel to aid the gathered Petals while encouraging the others to quickly loot the fallen wyvaran so we can move on before another attack hits us. "Probably best to buff up some with any relevant long-duration spells before heading inside," he opines.

Kiwina thinks dragging the bodies into the mouth of the cave may provide some momentary misdirection for anyone who comes upon the scene. Even with healing from Wil and Rolth, he's wounded. Wil is suffering more.

"I assume those weapons are worth something, though I wouldn't use one myself." He casts detect magic as they check the bodies.

Wil stands and 17 points of energy flows from the cleric out to his friends.
Elyas warns his friends they will need to press on soon. He looks at the bodies of the creatures there.
Mak pulls out more arrows to replace those he shot.
Rolth also channels healing for 7 points and then looks at the bodies.
Kiwina casts Detect Magic on the bodies of the fallen.
Ayotnom does likewise.
Tsak suggests healing up before heading into the cave.
Falco channels energy twice, healing all for 20 and 18 points. (The DM suggests it may be better for Falco to roll each d6 as you are allowed to reroll 1’s.)

In the quiet clearing, you look at the four dead creatures. They are medium sized creatures. They look like big kobolds encased on plate mail, only these ones have wings. Their blood soaks the dirt beneath them. They have some other equipment as well.

If you have cast Detect Magic, you can attempt to identify magic items with Spellcraft. Ayotnom identifies the flails below.

Maybe we should check that out old bean, could be the source of their super-kobold strength!

Rolth casts detect magic and is able to identify the belts as +2 STR and the cloaks as +1 resistance. He doesn't attempt the potions, assuming that non-casters with good perception may be able to work on those to save the casters' time. He will slip one of the throwing axes into his belt and sling one of the shields on his back for now, in case they prove handy in the upcoming dragon fight, but permanent disposition of the items can wait until we have more time, he thinks. He does not need a belt or cloak, but suggests that anyone without one go ahead and don it for now.

Once the gear is sorted, Rolth opines that we should prepare to enter the cave. Do his fellow Petals have any thoughts regarding how to do that wisely? For once, the liontaur seems to be repressing the urge to just rush in. Knowing that this dragon has several breath weapons and immunities, perhaps we should keep spread out, avoiding clusters and straight lines that it might easily capture many of us in. I plan to make myself faster for a few minutes, which will help close any distance when needed. Are there other long-durations buffs, scrying or scouting, or other preparations to make before we venture inside?"

Kiwina has been healed by the channeled energy, but sees that not everybody has. Healing might be a priority. He can cast CLW if the need is only minor.

"Also, while the armor might not be useful to anyone be belts would be an immediate benefit in combat, even if we decide to sell them later." Kiwina is willing to let others claim the belts since he has a brahmah's tattoo of bull's strength.

"And did anyone get the impression that they were seriously asking which boss we were here to see?"

Mak scooped up a cloak as he walked to the barrel with Tsak with sword in hand. As he arrived he shrugged on the cloak and put away his own. "What's in it you think?" Mak asked.

None of the magic items are of much use to Falco and he generally is not the one to carry a bunch of loot she he moves to the barrel as well, casting detect magic on it.

"I can cast two protections from energy, now is probably a good time. Who wants them an in what flavor? They will last a long time. I can cast one resist energy as well, let me know on who and what flavor for that. The last I am keeping for myself, cant heal if I am dead."

Mak heard Falco. "I'd suggest Rolth or Kiwina. Those two seem to have a little trouble not getting hit." he said slapping Tsak on the back. "What's that feel like?" he asked the large half orc jokingly.

Tsak wants to examine the contents of the barrel and asks Mak to join him. He wonders if it may be the source of the wyvarans strength.

Rolth identifies some of the magic items, and temporarily claims a couple. He offers some suggestions for the dragon battle, and asks if anyone would like to do some preps before entering the cave.

Wil stays to the back warning everyone that he cant help being impulsive.

Ayotnom identifies the remaining items, and asks for one of the potions.

Kiwina suggests using the belts, even though the armor isn't going to be of much value. He wonders why the wyvarans asked which boss.

Mak claims a cloak and than joins Tsak at the barrel. He asks what could be in it.

Falco doesn't claim any of the loot, and goes to join Tsak and Mak at the barrel, casting detect magic as he goes. He offers some protection spells, and asks who would like them, and whether now is the time to cast them.

Mak suggests Kiwina and Rolth get the spells.

***************************************************

Strategy and planning continue, in the meanwhile, 3 of our intrepid heroes go off to explore the scary looking barrel. Falco detects no magic as the trio approach. You notice a small patch of wet soil in front of the barrel, as if someone spilled a small amount of the contents. You see flies on the wet soil, and smell a very familiar scent coming from the soil. You smell stale beer! When you open the barrel, you see that it is about half full, or half empty, depending on how you look at it, of a very dark ale, and you can easily surmise that this is where the wyvarans filled their mugs, and the wet soil was caused from spilling a small amount every time they dunked their tankards in for a refill.

What is the next move for our intrepid heroes. Do they bravely enter the cave, do they buff up and then enter, or do they decide to take a break and try out the wyvaran's ale?

Just for your information, anyone who can pass a DC 10 knowledge arcane check knows that wyvarans are actually a type of dragon, and very distantly related to kobalds. Unlike kobalds, wyvarans aren't known for their weakness, but instead are often a formidable enemy.

Mak's experience with wyvarans is enough that he knew calling them kobolds was an insult. He'd likely continue to do so if they met more since them ganging up on Tsak or Rolth just wouldn't do. He'd have gone toe to toe with them this last time but they actually moved away from him. Mak drank a potion of Darkvision and then looked into the barrel and smelled the beer. The warriors mouth twinged as the smell of the substance caused him think of how delicious it might be to have a taste. Mak grabbed a mug and smelled it as he wondered just what that substance would taste like. After what seemed like ages he tossed the mug to the ground.

"Need to keep my wits about me old bean." he said to Tsak with a smile. "Let's go in and get this dragon sorted, shall we?"

"Seriously, I could do without the lecture mother, and please avoid doing it out loud. I thought we had this figured out."
"I'm just being honest."
"Appreciated, but you make me look crazy when you force me to argue. Please button it."
Wil then turns away from the barrel for a moment...
"Um.. let's collect some of this. I just have a feeling it may come in handy. Does anyone have something to store it in?" or maybe he finds something to store the liquid.

Good idea Wil, but i've got nothing too put it in. Hopefully it'll still be here when we get back. If no-one else is gonna take those belts I'll have one.

Tsak will participate in any healing thats offered but he's covered for the energy protection.

When the party is ready to enter, he then casts expeditious retreat on himself, ironically so he can charge more quickly into battle if needed!

Mak investigates the beer barrel further and discovers the even though the spilled beer smells stale, the contents of the barrel smell fresh. He considers drinking a mugful, but decides the dragon threat needs to be dealt with first.

Wil has an argument with himself over whether or not he should take a beer break, and decides that maybe they should bring some of the beer with them. He looks around and spies the two tankards the first wyvarans were drinking from, laying on the ground, and he also see identical tankards hanging on the belts of the late comers. The 4 tankards are made of leather, and each has a large cork, attached by a strip of leather, that can be used to seal the mug as well as keep out insects.

Tsak likes Wil's idea, but confesses he has nothing to put beer in.

Rolth as happy to receive Falco's buff, and adds one of his own.

Kiwina has a few resist spells available, but would prefer the slow and stealthy option versus the fast and declare your presence option.

Ayotnom asks if they should buy the dragon a drink.

Elyas also has some resist spells available, but holds off on casting them until they have some more intel. He cast light on his dagger and says "Let's see what is in this cave"

Falco does some buff casting.

*****************************************

The cave is roughly 20 ft wide and 20 ft high, and is semi-circular in shape. The walls and ceiling are made of very rough rock, but the floor of the cave is made of smooth gravel. There are no light sources, so if you don't have darkvision, you'll have to compensate somehow.

Please give a marching order, as well as explain how each character will navigate the dark.

"Anyone else want to carry this lightstone? And let's keep a pretty open formation, with some significant spacing. Don't want to get roasted all at once.

Wil can't seem to identify the cloaks or belts, and asks what they are. He mentions he has some buffs to offer, even though he wasted one earlier.

Mak tells Wil what the cloaks and belts are, than takes his place at the head of the marching order.

Rolth cast light on a pebble and offers it to anyone who would like it. He reminds everyone that if they are wounded, the party loot bag has some healing potions, as he takes his place in the marching order.

Ayotnom drinks a heal potion, and than cast light on his rapier. He also casts a protection spell.

Kiwina arms himself and than casts light on a pebble.

Tsak orders one for the road, and than takes his place in the marching order.

Elyas uses his dagger as a torch and looks around the cave for whatever.

Falco opts to stay in the rear.

**************************************

The cave winds down into the bowels of the earth. After about 15 min of travel the cave opens up a little. it expands from the before mentioned 20ft wide to about 30ft wide. the ceiling also expands from 20ft high to 30ft high.

Not long after the cave winds down, 4 kobalds, armed with rapiers, dart out of the shadows and attack. the first two flank Elyas and the second two flank Falco. Everyone please make a DC 43 perception check. Anyone who fails the check is caught flat-footed and can't act this round.

Both 1 and 2 land their attacks on Elyas, and 3 and 4 land their attacks on Falco. Elyas takes a total of 13 piercing damage, 6 bleed damage and 43 sneak attack damage, and Falco takes a total of 13 piercing damage, 6 bleed damage and 46 sneak attack damage.

Both Elyas and Falco must make 2 DC 14 fort saves or take 1 con damage and fall unconscious for 2 hours. The con damage stacks but the unconscious effect does not.

Mak flinched when the kobolds came out of hiding, but was unable to return the attack. That they had chosen to attack the rear was evidence of their dishonorable tactics, but it could also be a strategy aimed at taking the front off guard. Mak crouched and waited for an attack from ahead and hoped Tsak in his rear guard position saw the attacks coming.

OOC: LOL! DC 43 Perception check. Their stealth-fu is strong!

Mak has Uncanny Dodge which prevents him from being caught flatfooted, unfortunately it doesn't allow him to do anything else other than dodge about.

Rolth is unsurprised as he can be, yet still surprised! (Nat 20, still not enough, but at least he is not flat-footed, what with uncanny dodge.) He tries to hide his shock, and at least tries to be aware of any other threats, as if murderous, poison-using kobold assassins aren't enough to faze him. Yikes!

(GreaterAnythingPotion as CLW = 10 pts heal, Perception=22 fail, ignore second d20 roll)

Before they set off Tsak glugs a potion he's been saving and heals himself a bit more, he feels almost as good as new. He also casts resist energy (elec) on himself which should last for about 80 minutes.

(OOC Had planned to do the above yesterday but forgot, happy to retcon it now and add it in after the encounter if/as the DM wishes. Ignore the last roll, I didn't read the post properly and thought I might be close enough for an attack... Sorry, long drive today and my heads not really caught up)

(Sorry about the uber high stealth. You can thank RobC . He suggested such a high perception check, when he reviewed the module, and the math does work out, though it is brutally high. When he suggested such a high DC I didn't think twice as my Half-Orc Ranger in Tree has a +33 stealth bonus, without invisibility. Of course Tree is at level 18, and dumb me didn't take the extra 7 levels into consideration, nor did he check your sheets for your perception bonuses, to determine if it was a feasible DC to overcome.)

Due to an impressive stealth skill, the kobold rogues catch everyone by surprise. Things look bad for Falco and Elyas, but the kobolds, who aren't very bright make a serious strategical errors. namely, make sure your opponent is dead, and don't just assume your partner is going to finish them off.

Assuming Elyas is a goner, number 1 breaks off his attack and engages in a orchestrated flanking position with number 4 against Ayotnom. Meanwhile number 2 takes a 5 foot step, and moves into an orchestrated flanking position with number 3 against Tsak. Assuming Falco is dead number 4 joins number 1, and number 3 joins number 2. Both 3 and 4 draw AoO's from Falco, while number one draws one from Elyas.

Number 1 attacks Ayotnom once, hitting with a 35, and does 5 piercing damage, 6 bleed damage, and 22 sneak attack damage

Number 2 attacks Tsak twice, hitting both times. 1st with a 32, and 2nd with a 30. Tsak takes a total of 12 piercing damage, 6 bleed, and 43 sneak attack damage

Number 3 attacks Tsak once, hitting with a 26, and does 6 piercing damage, and 20 sneak attack damage.

Number 4 attacks Ayotnom once, barely hitting with a 24, and does 7 piercing damage, and 24 sneak attack damage

Wil really needs to move away from this situation. He doesn't have much going for him but he finds himself in the middle of trouble again and casts Searing Light on the first Kobold and includes in that a sneak attack due to flanking
(Att: 22 (+2 - flank) - for 10 + snk: 7+ )
(SW: Round 3: Att: 26 - for 7 - 2nd: missed)

Wil takes a 5-foot step to flank the creature.

Stuck as he is between two he can't get away and has no more heals on hand. His best option is to fight so with a snarl he turns (to k3) and tries his best to chop the creature into chunky jibblets..

Kiwina moves through friendly Wil and his spiritual weapon so that he can attack Kobold 2. (If this gives Kobold 1 an AOO, Kiwina's AC vs AOO is 26.)

Ayotnom slumps over, dying.

Considering the bleed damage he'll probably die next round without healing especially since he failed to stabilize.

His last impossibly high stealth rolls are unfair.

Elyas runs through his options as the kobolds turn against others in the party. Haste for the group? Summon another ally? Usually good options, but the creatures are putting out damage too fast for that to help. At least one of these things needs to go down.

Elyas summons magical lightning to hit each of the kobolds, echoing through the cavern. Lightning strikes number 1, then bounces to each of the other enemies.

Number one needs a DC 24 reflex for half, the others only need DC 22 saves.
The total damage is 31 electric damage.

Falco is still taken aback by what happened and why his body is suddenly leaking from several important spots. His mind snaps into gear as his attackers leave him? Great! "Warper-sar heal us!"

{Channel: 16}

Falco channels healing everyone, including their attackers, because he has to stop all the bleeding!

Mak opens fire on K1 but only lands his 3rd attack. (They have and AC of 22. I used your 1st non-manyshot damage roll, which happen to be the highest.)

Wil flanks K1 and attacks.

Tsak attacks K3. his 1st attack misses, but his second and third land true

Kiwina barely misses his attack, after moving into a flanking position.

Rolth channles energy and heals everyone 8 HP

Ayotnom is critically wounded, but at least he is still standing.

Elyas fires off a chain lightning spell. K1 and K2 make their saves, and due to evasion, take no damage. However 3 and 4 both take the full blast.

Falco also channel's energy and heals everyone 16 HP.

****************************

With all bleed damage dealt out mitigated by the healing magics of Rolth and Falco our heroes are in a slightly better position.

Not enjoying having their flanking tactics used against them, K1 and K2 both take five foot steps out of their flanks.

K1 attacks Wil twice. He lands the 1st attack with a 28 but misses his second. Wil takes 6 piercing damage.

K2 attacks Kiwina twice. He misses his 1st attack but lands his 2nd with a 27. Kiwina takes 4 piercing damage.

K3 attacks Tsak twice. He secedes on a crit for the 1st attack, but misses the 2nd. Tsak take 11 piercing damage.

K4 attacks Ayotnom twice. He lands the first hit with a 31, but misses the 2nd. Ayotnom takes 6 piercing damage.

Mak considered picking up his sword and charging the nearest kobold, but it's decision to move away made the action untenable. Instead he stood his ground and fired arrows at his original target. He'd have moved closer but didn't want to walk away from his families sword. Two arrows nocked and fired, The twin wooden spikes of death thudded into the kobold nicely but caused it to dodge about erratically and made his next two arrows miss. In fact the last arrow simply snapped when he released the bowstring.

"Bugger it all!" Mak growled as he considered his options.

Wil watches Ayotnom fall and calls up a second Spiritual weapon.
Wil watches as the Kobold moves away from him and pines over whether it would be an advantage to strike out at the creature with the advantage but ultimately concedes that hitting with multiple weapons would be the best choice.
Wil then takes a 5 ft to step back in an attempt to avoid a fatal blow from the creature.

Mak considers charging, but instead continues firing.

Kiwina moves into a flanking position with Ayotnom but misses his target.

Wil unloads with his spiritual weapons but only lands one attack.

Tsak goes choppy chop on number 3

Rolth finishes off k1

Ayotnom makes a wise withdrawal.

Falco fires two arrows at k4 hitting with the first.

****************************************

As soon as K1 drops, K4 pulls out and slams a potion. he immediately disappears.

At the same time, K3 takes a 5ft step and than he also pulls out and slams a potion disappearing from sight.

K2 moves away from the fight, triggering an AoO from Rolth and Elyas, and than he too pulls out a potion, slams it and than disappears.

Elyas sees the kobolds drink and vanish, but he spots their bloody tracks heading back towards the entrance.
[perception = 27]

He knows the creatures couldn't have moved far and has some idea of where they ended up. he fires off a spell, covering the area between the party and the cave entrance where he sees blood with glittering magical fairy dust.

[cast glitterdust centered on where he can see the tracks (not clear on the map where that is). any kobolds in the area will need a DC 19 will save or be blinded. and of course they get lit up by dust]

Rolth spots the trails of blood as well (perception = 20). He takes his attack of opportunity on the fleeing K2, threatening a critical but not quite making it. Still it is a solid blow from his morning star! (Rage, power attack) Rolth then moves to position himself on the edge of the party closest to the entrance, to set himself up for a charge if Elyas' spell proves effective. He currently has a 40' speed, so he's pretty sure that he can catch these dragon wannabes.

Kiwina makes an attack of opportunity as K2 drinks its potion -- hitting AC 16 (and missing). OOC: I last saw K2 at E-10, which is right beside Kiwina. I didn't notice until later that Rolth and Elyas were the only ones identified as open for AOO. Which is fair if it made a 5' move first, but for the life of me I don't know why it'd move away from the PC that can't get above a 10 on the die roller. ;-)

Perception = 28; survival = 25 to track

Seeing the bloodtrails, Kiwina follows, using his tracking skill until after any spells against the kobolds are complete that he might not want to be caught in.

Elyas fires off a glitterdust spell in the direction of the fleeing kobolds. Since the spell only covers a 10 ft area, and the cave is 30 ft wide, I gave the spell a 20% miss chance. It would have 50% but Elyas has a general idea as to where they may be. K2 got hit by the glitterdust spell, but isn't blinded. You can clearly see that he is trying to flee the scene. K3 wasn't in the blast zone, and remains undetected. K4 is hit by the spell and fails his save. You can tell that he is also trying to flee the scene, but now he has to slow down to do so.

Wil fires off his spiritual weapons at the fleeing and glittered K2. He begins summoning a shadow hound archon. It will appear next round.

Rolth lands his AoO and moves int a position for a possible charge.

Kiwina attempts an AoO but misses. he easily finds the tracks, and is able to follow them.

Tsak moves into position, and prepares an attack.

Ayotnom goes total defense.

Max retrieves his family heirloom.

Falco is ready.

**************************************************

When the glitterdust spell hits K2, he begins running, as a stealthy escape is out of the question now.

K3 remains undetected.

Now blinded, K4 drops to his knees, and places his hands on his head.

You can see that both K2 and K4 have sheathed their rapiers.

K4 begins speaking in a strange language. If you know dragon, Highlight to display spoiler: {"Please don't kill me!"}

Elyas frowns, and looks down at his hands after the glitterdust puffs into a rather sad excuse for a control spell.
huh, he thinks I guess this island must be on the metric system... will have to account for that

[ooc: glitterdust is normally a 10ft radius, rather than area. but it did its job of verifying that the kobolds are leaving and not setting up for another round of stabbing]

The fleeing Kobold that is dusted has put away his weapon, and the blind one is begging for his life. even if the invisible one was foolish enough to come back and fight he would be less of a threat without the flanking tactics.

"well we don't kill surrendered opponents, but what are we going to do with him? maybe he can tell us what else is in this cave. or at least if there are any more of these ambushes...

Nah mate, we're good guys so you're safe with us. Your boss might not see it that way though. He might call this a weak surrender.

Ayotnom says, "Of course he speaks draconic. He's a kobold. Kobolds claim relationship to dragons, though they are a lot less impressive. I wonder if they make rainbow kobolds. If they are surrendering maybe they can tell us where Grovas, son of Vurm is, what he did with the children and help us to avoid any more ambushes?. I don't suppose we have a charismatic person who speaks draconic to ask them to do this? I mean I speak draconic but Charisma is not my strong suit."

Rolth sees Wil start to direct his spiritual weapon to attack the kobold that surrendered and calls out to dissuade him, "Wil, that doesn't seem very heroic! And we need information from that one. If you have to kill something, how about the one that is fleeing that we can still see!" Rolth likes the line of questioning that Ayotnom proposed, but doesn't speak draconic so he can't follow the specifics when Tsak interrogates the little backstabber. He suggests, "How about getting him to toss all his weapons and other gear over to you, so he doesn't get any funny ideas?"

Rolth moves 40' toward the entrance and readies as attack in case one of the kobolds returns to the attack or kobold 4 suddenly gets bold.

Mak understands Draconic and translates the K4's words

Elyas is frustrated that all 3 kobolds didn't get dusted. He figures that with both K2 and K3 sheathing their rapiers, K3 would be a fool to try any funny business. (You are correct, it is a 10ft radius, which is a 20ft area. with the cave being 30ft wide there is a chance that not all three were within that area. I decided to tilt the scales in your favor hence the only 20% miss chance. Sorry for any confusion) Elyas makes it clear that killing foes that have surrendered is off the table, but wonders if they may be able to glean some intel from this guy.

Wil wonders about the fleeing K4. he fires his spiritual weapons, but misses. His archon teleports in front of the kobold.

Tsak is surprised that Mak understands Draconic. He isn't fond of having an enemy unaccounted for, and tries to communicate with the kobold.

Kiwina tries to figure out where K3 went based on his tracks.

Ayotnom also speaks Draconic, and explains why kobolds speak draconic. He asks if they have any charismatic Draconic speakers to communicate with K4.

Rolth suggest Wil not try to kill someone who has surrendered, and suggest maybe he fire on the fleeing kobold instead, because shooting a fleeing individual is slightly less unheroic than shooting a surrendered individual. He likes the idea of questioning K4, but since he doesn't understand draconic, he won't be able to help out much. He asks if someone could ask K4 to toss his weapons away.

Wil explains his actions, and hopes his archon is able to detain K2.

Falco isn't happy about how things are playing out, but maybe they can glean some helpful information.

Mak orders K4 to remove his armor and toss away his weapons, allowing the tip of his rapier to express his sincerity.

**************************************

When Wil's hound suddenly appears in front of K2, those that understand Draconic hear him say, "I'm not paid enough for this! I give up." Everyone else hears, "Innknk jdfwbb nuhsd ushfh jusdbfb! Innknk jbb jbgyu." As he is saying this, he too drops to his knees with his hands on his head.

Kiwina is able to ascertain that K3 is heading towards the entrance, via his blood trail, and is pretty sure he isn't a threat and that this will be the last we have heard from him.

When Tsak tries questioning K4 the kobold looks at him quizzically, and it is clear he doesn't understand what the ranger is saying, but he is quick to respond when Mak tells him to get rid of his gear. He removes his gear and tosses it away from him, as requested. He doesn't say anything, and you're not sure if it's because no Draconoc speakers have asked him any questions, or some other reason.

Wil charges forward 50ft toward K4 -
"Who paid you because I'm not very happy with that gentleman/kid-napper/ whatever other bad thing he has done? Fortunately, Wardd has blessed you and saved your life. If I was use I would feel blessed and ensure your luck." Wil adds to K4

Rolth will move up close to K2 and use hand signals and gestures to indicate that he should drop his weapons and remove his armor and other gear, like his kobold buddy has already done. He will then point back towards where K4 is and get the little fellow to move that way, with Rolth scooping up the discarded gear on the way.

Nope, keep 'em separated. We want to use one to verify the other's tales. It's best they can't hear each other, but at the very least they shouldn't be able to see each others face or be able to communicate in any way.

Tsak uses some twine from his backpack to bind K2's hands and leads him a 20 feet away before getting him to kneel facing away from his counterpart. The half-orc isn't rough or nasty, just professional. He's happy to babysit this kobald while Mak interrogates the other.

I'll look after this one, somebody else should keep a weather eye out for the one that got away, as well as any reinforcements it may be bringing down on us. Do we have much in the way of healing, there's still a few who are banged up.

Elyas mentions that he knows a lot of languages, but he never studied Draconic. He suggests using Mak as a translator, and asks him to ask what else is in the cave, and where the dragon is.

Wil is glad K2 stopped and is curious as to what the archon is saying. (You can speak for the archon if you want) Wil asks who paid the kobolds, and mentions he isn't happy with the kidnapper, and that he should tell his partners to comply.

Mak warns K4 to speak truthfully, and asks what else is in the cave, and where is the dragon.

Rolth moves over to K2 and uses hand gestures to tell him to disarm and move closer to K4. He keeps his ears open for the invisible K3.

Tsak cuts off K2 and wishes to keep them separated. He binds K2's wrists, and volunteers to watch him. He asks if some healing can be distributed.

Kiwina keeps an eye out for K3, as he can't help with the talking.

Ayotnom asks if he should be asking K2 the same questions Mak asks K4.

Falco channels a couple of times, than takes up watch duty.

********************************

I'm assuming that the archon is translating for Wil. As he is removing his armor and belt that holds his weapons, K2 answers, "We were hired by Grovas, of course, this is his lair after all. He's a good enough employer, though I fail to understand why a dragon would need to hire steel to protect him, but the coin was good so we didn't ask questions." When Wil mentions a kidnapper, K2 gets a very quizzical look on his face and says, " I have no idea what Grovas does outside of this cave, but I've never seen any kids here. As far as my partners are concerned, you have Frevos over there, Lostern is dead, and I have no idea where Kronder is, though I would wager he is long gone, as no amount of coin is worth getting killed for." K2 is quick to comply with Rolths gestures, only to be confused as Tsak cuts him off. In spit of his confusion, he complies with Tsak's commands, which I assume either Ayotnom or Wil's Archon translated, and he doesn't resist as the ranger binds his hands.

K4 answers Mak, "I don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure we were the last line of defense, so only the boss's lair is up ahead, well as far as I know."

Mak relayed the information to his companions and suggested they release the Kobolds on the condition they leave and never bother anyone again. The price for living would be their armor, weapons and any magic they have on them.

"Thank you sir," Wil says to the archon. "Keep the pressure on please," he adds.
"What should we do with them," he then asks and the archon responds.
"I believe it would be dishonorable to kill them. If their intent is to not fight anymore we should release them."
Wil, has begun to trudge his way toward Ayotnom to apply some serious healing but he is a few more steps away

It seems like the two kobalds are telling similar stories, doesn't mean its the complete truth. Tsak is still on edge. There's also the going up against a dragon while on half health, which isn't helping his nerves.
Also the fate of the child, and possibly others, remains a mystery.

Are we just gonna march in, or does somebody have a plan?

"Well, once we're done with these fellows we can go ask the dragon about children," Kiwina says. Not that he's certain the dragon will politely answer their questions. "We should find out how far his lair is, if he's in, and decide what buffing we need to do before we enter."

Roth agrees with Mack’s plan once we are done questioning these fellows. He likes the idea of asking how far it is to the dragon’s lair down the tunnel, and whether the dragon is currently here. If not, where else does the dragon hang out? Otherwise Rolth is ready to let them go, bug]ff up if close, and move out.

Yes, surely they can give su some information about how much further we have to go, and what else we can expect to find. they say they are the last line of defense, but that could be a lie.

At Ayotnom's comment Elyas has a terrible thought. "I know that dragons often have the ability to change their shape, often putting on the guise of a human for long periods of time. you don't think.... no that wouldn't make sense. but technically the dragon could have turned himself into a kobold to slip past us... Unlikely given his giant ego, but something to keep in mind.

Mak suggest letting the captives go. He suggests keeping their gear as payment for their lives.

Wil asks what they should do with the kobolds, claiming it would be dishonorable to kill them. He gives some healing to Ayotnom.

Tsak is on high alert as the situation looks dire. The kobolds are telling the same story, and he hears the truth in their words, but he wonders if it is the whole truth. He asks if anyone has a plan.

Ayotnom wonders if Grovas can turn kids into kobolds or wyvarans. Ultimately he just wonders what happened to the kids.

Kiwina cliams they can ask Grovas where the children are, when they are done with the kobolds. He suggests asking about the distance to the lair, if the dragon is here, and what buffs are desireable.

Rolth likes Mak's idea, and Kiwina's line of questioning. He is ready to go and than buff, at the last minute.

Elyas too wants know how much farther, and says the kobolds could be lying about being the last line of defense. He mentions that some dragons can polymorph and hopes that Grovas didn't disguise himself as a kobold and slip away. Of course Grovas has proven himself to have a massive ego, so he doubts it.

Falco allows his friends to do the talking, as he wonders how good the drogon's ears are.

*****************************************

The interrogation continues, and some ideas are kicked around, ideas that seem to be appreciated by all.

As the Petals are posed to continue their interrogation and make some final plans, something strange happens. You watch as time seems to grind to a halt, and find yourselves able to act, as the rest of the Wold is frozen. A moment later, a light appears, at first it is green, then it slowly fads to blue and from blue to orange, and from orange to red. the light keeps going through this cycle as the color and intensity of the light increases. Along with the increases, the speed at which they cycle also speeds up until it is nothing but a blur. The light becomes so intense that you are blinded for a moment, and then the light is gone, and you find yourself someplace else.

Instead of the dark cave you find yourself on a trail in an evergreen forest. It is winter where you are at, and the snow is deep, but the path you are on is well groomed, and travel is easy. It is night here, even though you know that it is still about midday, in the Wold, and you are pretty sure your not in Kansas anymore. The trail is lined with everburning torches, and even though it is winter, you find you don't feel the cold. With no other options, you follow the trail, and after a few minutes, the trail opens up into a large clearing. Like the trail, the clearing is well light by everburning torches, and in the center of the clearing is a large table. At the far end of the table is a slightly rotund gentleman with long white hair, and a long white beard. He is wearing a long burgundy robe that is trimmed with the fir of arctic fox. On his head he is wearing a sort of crown made from holly, with burning candles protruding out the top. He is smoking a long stemmed pipe, and when he sees you arrive, he stands and says in an intensely cheery voice, "You have arrived, you are most welcome please have a seat at my table!"

Elyas agrees with Wil. The first time you are whisked away from the middle of a dangerous situation into a feasting hall is a bit jarring. but the second time...

Monday December 12th, 2022 12:24:19 PM

Most of our intrepid heroes are nonplussed by the sudden whisking away, this isn't their first rodeo after all. Wil looks around for his archon, but remembers that the archon was frozen in time back in the cave, and is pretty sure he will be there when he gets back. (All duration spells will pick up where they left off after the holiday break) Elyas asks who their host is and the gentleman answers, "My name is Nicholas Claus, but please call me Nick." There seems to be something infectious about Nick's personality. He seems the type that you that you would have to work hard to not like, but that doesn't seem to stop Mak. Of course Mak has his reasons for not trusting those of mysterious power. When Rolth calls Nick a king, the white bearded fellow lets out a strange sort of laugh. "Ho, Ho, Ho," he chuckles, I am no king and for your mistrusting friend here, I am no great power either. I am simply a bearer of gifts, and my only power, if you wish to call it that, is to bring joy to the lives of others!" Nick's belly jiggles in an almost comical way as he laughs. [/b]"Please have a seat, My friends, who share my desire to bring joy to all, will be here shortly with food and drink."[/b]

Nick had barely finished his words when a handful of elves come out of the forest. Of course these were like no elves you have ever seen. even though they had all the features of the elves back at the Wold, these elves were barely the height of a halfling or gnome. In fact, Falco is a good 6 inches taller than the tallest of these odd elven creatures.

The first elves to arrive are carrying plates bowls drinking vessels, and of course silverware. the next batch to come out of the woods are carrying pitchers of various types of drink. Rest assured whatever beverage you desire is available for the asking

Next come more elves carrying various savory dishes. They bring out honey glazed carrots, potatoes that have been baked and then mashed with butter, cream, and cheese, only to be re-stuffed back into the potato skins and re-baked until the cheeses melt, as well as several other side dishes, each one as savory as the last. Finally 4 elves come out of the woods carrying a whole fire roasted pig on a huge silver platter. they set the pig at the center of the table and then they take their leave.

When you look around, you see many empty chairs, and just as you are about to ask Nick about them, The jolly one stands up clapping his hands with apparent joy. When you turn to see what could cause such a reaction from the rotund fellow, you see several individuals entering the clearing from the same trail you used to arrive. As you look upon the group of new comers, you each see someone you care deeply about.

Whether it be someone from your past, perhaps even someone who has gone to their final rest, or someone you currently hold dear, that individual has a seat next to you, and with a "Ho, Ho, Ho!" from Nick the party begins. Nick is still available for conversation, but it is clear that his only desire is for you to enjoy yourselves, and he is more than happy to step back and allow you to do just that. Of course he is happy to engage in conversation, but he won't interrupt your festivities, and the conversation would have to be started by our heroes.

(Please feel free to role play who your loved one is, and I will try my best to accommodate)

"Look at our luck," Wil says. "How lucky are we to join you here..." that's when he abruptly stopped.
A young woman, thin and beautiful walked in. She was dressed in majestic cloaks with symbols of the House of Darts from Dirt City. Beside her was a huge centaur, his stature wise and his face serious. The centaur was dressed to impress in battledress. He had a large bow strapped to his back.
"No??!!" Wil said and stood up immediately. His chair crashed to the floor.
"Not you! No, this is not happening. This is got to be a joke. Are you joking?"
"Cicero?? How did you escape the prison run by Gargul? This is serious magic. Did you clear this past him, did he even talk to you? " He asks Nick.
"Mother?"

Mak only had bad memories of lost relatives in their final moments as the plant consumed them body and soul and no desire to be reminded of them in those moments before he was forced to kill them. He instead enjoyed the happy reunions of his fellows and thought of better days as these ghosts came to life for his friends. "I'd much rather be chasing animate cookies." he grumbled.

Rolth waves at a powerful minotaur, and invites him to sit and share the feast. "Sable, how have you been? Have you finally found your quarry? It's been so long since we set out with Kiwina from Bridge Island, with the goal of unifying the taurs. And you know what, I think we have actually made some progress! They are all speaking, trading, and more. And we have had a succession of wonderful minotaurs to carry on after you left. This fellow here is Ayotnom. I think he might be looking for someone or something too, maybe you should compare tricks of the trade."

Kiwina is joined by a slightly younger centaur, a female, and they look at each other awkwardly. After a few minutes, he says, "When the aumakua led me away, I did not know it would be years." He brings out his rod, causing the ghostly figures the others have seen before to appear with him. When they do, she gives a gasp of recognition. "Cousin," she scolds the young male, "what joke are you playing on us?" She avoids looking at the figure Kiwina calls grandfather.

Ayotnom is surprised to see none other than his late father Ognimod take his place at the table.

He says, "Father. I didn't expect to see you here."

Ognimod says to Ayotnom, "Son, we haven't much time. I am aware of your quest to avenge my death but I fear you lack much information. The person who ended my life was none other than Count Nerug. I crafted him a sword, perhaps the finest sword I ever forged but when Nerug showed up to collect it he went back on our deal and refused to pay the promised price offering me a paltry amount in exchange. Therefore since he could not appreciate the sword's craftsmanship I refused to sell it to him. He stabbed me through the heart and stole the sword, therefore in order to avenge my death you must find Count Nerug, slay him and retrieve the sword."

Wil is shocked at the arrival of his guests, but manages to address them. Cicero answers Wil with an equal amount of shock on his face, "In truth friend, I have no idea.The mystery of my arrival alludes me as well, but gods it's good to see you! this is a scrumptious feast the likes I haven't seen in a long time. Is that a plate of stuffed quails? I tell you friend you have done well for yourself, and even if it is just this one meal, I will dine with you and consider myself blessed to be he with you, at such a time as this!" Wil's mother runs over and embraces her son. She tries to speak, but tears of joy are all that she is able to release. Finally she manages to say, "I'm proud of you and the man you have become, my son."

Mak has nobody from his past that he would like to see, but he does appreciate the fact that his friends are able to see those they miss and love. In spite of the fact that he is happy for his friends, he finds a need to grumble. He does notice that when he is served, the finest cuts always seem to land on his plate. Maybe this is Nicks's way of treating him special, since he couldn't gift him with a joyful blast from the past.

Rolth invites Sable to join him at he table. the minotaur is more than happy to join, but before he sits, he embraces his friend in a warm but potentially bone crushing embrace. It is good to see you my friend, and dine with the Eight Petaled Rose once again. I have not located my quarry, but instead fallen victim to that which has ruined many an adventurer, marriage. I met my wife not long after departing, and at first she traveled with me, in my pursuit, but than we became pregnant, and It was time for me to forsake adventuring in exchange for the greatest adventure of all time, fatherhood.

Kiwina's guest doesn't recognize him at first, but when she does, she wonders at the oddness of her arrival, but seems to avoid her grandfather's ghostly form.

Tsak greets Gothruk warmly and the minotaur returns the gesture in kind. "Well met Mak! Any friend of this half-orc is a friend of mine! Gods this is a cheer gathering, but dear friend, what kind of sorcery is this? I was engaged in combat with a murderous chimera, and on the verge of vanquishing the foul beast, when time seemed to stop, and I was transported here by some bright lights."

Ayotnom's father arrives, and enlightens the minotaur on the details of his murder.

Falco is shocked by the arrival of his father, and worries that he won't recognize his son, but his fears are soon put to rest when his father walks right up to him and says, "Son, is that you? Heck, I know it's you! I would recognize my son even if he was morphed into a hill giant! Herm embraces his son and with tears in his eyes says, "I don't know what sorcery brought us together, but I am glad to be with my son! Hey do you still have a halfling's appetite, or do you eat in such a manner closer to your current appearance?

Finally he sees a familiar face. Nyas, the centaur who took him in and taught him his first real magic moves up to the table next to the human wizard.

Nyas! It is so good to see you! I am sorry I haven't stayed in touch, my journey got off to a rather abrupt start with a kidnapping, and it has been nonstop chaos since that day. I have learned much, and have found this crew, which is the first time I've really found a place to belong. I couldn't have done any of this without you giving me a nudge out the door!

You got to understand it's a bit awkward having all these voices in my head, and the ability to move that limbs. That is so overwhelming."
He pauses, "Your real though?"
"Of course your real!" he shouts. "I'm not crazy but... what about the other voices?"
"Mother, you never told me you dealt with this amulet in life. Where did you ever find anything like this? Nightmare Quarters? I can only guess. Must be a gift from Gargul but why."

Again Falco is shocked by what is going on. He goes stiff when his dad hugs him and then softens enjoying the moment.

"I eat like a halfling, no worms and seeds for me." he pauses "Sorry I left like I did, and the other stuff.. it's good to see you. Come meet my traveling companions."

Our intrepid heroes enjoy some quality time with friends and family. The whole time Nick is smiling from ear to ear, and you can tell he is finding the whole seen much to his liking, and he seems proud of his accomplishment. the party goes on and as the feasting slows down, the elves return with desserts and after dinner drinks. There is fine port wine, boozy eggnog, or non-boozy if you prefer, there are Irish Coffees, or just black coffee, and the options go on and on. For desserts, there are pies of a mass assortment, plum pudding, actual boozy fruitcake, odd and familiar cookies, and the list goes on and on.

The feasting will continue through out the holiday break, and even though I won't be posting on the board, feel free to e-mail me any questions. You can post as much or as little as you want, either here or at the Giggling Ghost. Also, as per Jerry's e-mail, we will be leveling, and, as Jerry said, you don't have to level your PC during the break, though you can if you want. As per Jerry's orders, you will have a week after returning to get your sheets updated and approved by either Mark or myself, and there won't be combat during that time, of course the sooner they are all approved, the sooner we can deal with our dragon friend.

Have a fantastic time, hopefully with friends and family!
Jeremy

Rolth settles in and enjoys the feast while it lasts. There must be some magic at old Nick's table, because Rolth can feel new knowledge, both arcane and mundane, blossom in his mind. "Hmm, that might prove useful against all sorts of foes, staring with a certain dragon," he muses.

(OOC: Taking another level in bard, so sweet!)

Mak's leveling is complete, (4th in Duelist) but I'm going to go over his sheet a bit better to make certain I haven't missed anything.
