XV. Kobold Lair - Underground II

[onlyme]

Fulp continues to jab at his foe, hoping the trio can overcome his defenses.

[OGRE MAGE]

Sparrow continues to flail wildly at the spell casting kobold.

Doomed? We are deep into an unfamiliar lair. Of course we are doomed!!!

[tooleychris]

If Sorsha remains frozen in place she will begin to think about all the bad decisions she's made in life. If not, she will follow her last actions. Dropping the torches and attacking.

[FantasyChic]

Leliana moves forward with her weapons drawn, but notices the others could handle themselves with this "doomsayer". She is there for back-up, just in case.

[AleBelly]

"You'll need more than that stick to stop us, dog boy!" cries Sylvan as he slashes at the spellcaster with his scimitar.

Will post die roll in private forum later this afternoon.

[saalaria]

Grim moves to the centre of the room so he can watch SE, SW and Nighttail. He will occasionally glance at the battle to make sure he isn't needed there.

Round 4
"You'll need more than that stick to stop us, dog boy!" Sylvan taunts. As if on command, Churgri produces a leaf of sumac from a pouch at his waist and, after uttering some unfamiliar words, causes a 3-foot long blazing ray of red-hot fire to spring forth from his hand in the shape of a curved blade. Targeting Sparrow, the kobold spell-caster brings this blade-like flame in a downward arc, but the dark-skinned warrior easily side steps the flame attack.

The group retaliates, with Fulp jabbing wildly with his short sword. Sylvan slashes at the diminutive spell-casting lizard with his scimitar but his effort narrowly misses. Sparrow recovers from his evasive action and continues his dual-attacks; missing with his club, but nicking Churgri with his dagger. (Note: Waiting on Ciar's attack rolls.)

Behind the action, Leliana advances a few steps while Grim moves to the center of the room to gain a better vantage point of the two exits to the south. Nighttail remains fixed in his current position voluntarily, while Sorsha remains frozen in place, still suffering from the effects of Churgri's earlier spell.

"Nighttail! What are yous waitin' for there? What do you think is going to happen here?"

[OGRE MAGE]

Sparrow continues his attack on the kobold shaman.

His hurried blows have about the same effect as his last attack on the evasive little bugger.

[onlyme]

Fulp also continues jabbing, hoping to prevent the foe from concentrating on another spell.

[tooleychris]

"There's the time I slapped the mule on the butt and he kicked me across the stable, " Sorsha thinks to herself. "Oh I can't forget the time I gracefully fell from walking a fence in my new dress...right into the pig pen." She continues thinking in her frozen state. "Oh, and my recent favorite, let's go visit the kobold cave. It'll be easy they said. It'll be fun they said...."

[AleBelly]

The expression of amusement falls from Sylvan's face. How did that last strike miss? He grits his teeth and strikes again, holding his strike until his enemy begins to cast again if possible.

[dmw71]

Round 5
Ciar, Fulp, Sylvan, and Sparrow continue to swarm the kobold caster, gaining the advantage. Fulp connects first with his short sword, slicing through the kobolds robes and drawing blood of a deep crimson color. Churgri is able to avoid strikes from Ciar and Sylvan, and the blunt force from Sparrow's club, but the dark-skinned warrior catches the shaman with his dagger, sinking the blade deep. The creature gasps its last breath and falls to the ground, motionless. A small vial frees itself from the creatures grasp and rolls to a stop a foot away from the now kobold corpse.

With the caster down, Sorsha finds herself free from the magical bonds holding her fixed in place.

[saalaria]

With immediate threat gone, Grim moves and looks to the northern passage.

As he passes the group he offers:

"Well done lads, I've been 'avin' no luck with me blade so far this trip. Mebbe there's better to come as we press on? I sorely 'ope so I really do. Me father will be so disapponted in me thus far.""

[onlyme]

Fulp checks the body for other items.

[Alethan]

Ciar picks up the vial and examines it...

[tooleychris]

Sorsha falls forward as she regains her control. She cocks an eyebrow at Fulp and Ciar as they examine what they've found more important.
"No no!" she toys sarcastically. "No need to check your ensorcelled female companion." She tosses Ciars glow stick to the ground at his feet. "I'll be fine. I hope. Never had a lizard curse placed on myself. But I'm fine, I'm sure. "

[AleBelly]

Sylvan starts towards the fallen sorcerer's body, but Fulp beats him to it. He turns and glares at Nighttail. "Just observing, are you? We released you from your shackles - I expect your aid when we fight the next enemy."

[OGRE MAGE]

Sparrow wipes the kobold guts from his blade on the dead things robe. He nods his head at Sylvans comment to Nighttail.

It does seem awfully suspicious with you just standing there watching us. What is your plan once we clear this hole out, anyway?

[dmw71]

Nighttail, staring at Fulp, and Sparrow, and Ciar, and Sylvan all standing over the fallen form of Chuguri, scoffs at the accusations. "No room," he chirps, unphased. "The situation was clearly well at hand," he adds, observing the group handled the situation with little more than a scratch. "You won't be able to hold me back once we reach Chief Roaghaz," he nods. "That is my plan."

The threat abated, Grim circles past the crude idol stands in the middle of the cave and moves to explore the northern passage and reports back that it quickly appears to bend back down to the southwest. Ciar moves to collect the vial Chuguri dropped when it was slain, which is a small, crystal container housing a light blue liquid. Nearby, Fulp kneels to inspect the fallen form of the kobold sorcerer as Sylvan, with a similar plan, looks on, while Sparrow wipes the kobold guts from his blade on the dead things robe.

Sorsha, free from the spells controlling influence, falls forward as she fights to regains her balance. She cocks an eyebrow at Fulp and Ciar as they examine what they've found, tossing the second everlit torch on the ground at the halfling's feet. Leliana does nothing.
