XIII. Flooded Quarry - Trip Two

[dmw71]

Still missing some actions.

If you haven't already done so, please post an update for your character over the weekend.

[FantasyChic]

Leliana sheathed her sword and shield and sighed, "Didn't even get a chance at the bastards. Ah well, we won this battle."

She goes and meets up with the others while they regroup.

[AleBelly]

Sylvan touches his wand to Grim. "Does anyone else require healing? We should fortify ourselves before heading in there. I like Sparrow's plan, but let's be at full strength. I suggest those who require light take one passage, and those of you with dark vision take the other. Perhaps you can surprise them."

Healing wand [1d8] = 4 on Grim

Sorry all for the delay - was traveling and strep made its way through our family this week.

[onlyme]

Fulp mentions he could use a hit. Then he follows the group in.

[dmw71]

Before Sylvan can respond to Fulp, or any other actions can be taken, something happens.


Update later.


Note: The healing wand was applied to Grim.

[dmw71]

Round 4
Ciar rushes at the trailing kobold attempting to flee into the southern tunnel and cuts it down with a powerful slice with his short sword. The two kobolds fleeing in front of the latest victim continue their hasty retreat into the dark, cramped tunnel, with the later leaving traces of blood as it flees.

Away from the immediate threat, Soraha collects her previously thrown daggers, wiping away the blood before sheathing one pair, but leaving a second pair in her hands. Leliana sheathes her sword and slings her shield while Sylvan applies an application of the healing wand to the ailing dwarf, leaving Grim in markedly improved spirits.

Up to the north, Fulp calls for aid from the wand as well, while Sparrow stows his bow and draws his scimitar. "Half of us follow them that way --" he says, indicating the southern tunnel with the point of his scimitar, "-- while the rest of us go through here..." he says, turning to the northern tunnel, just in time to spot another mass of kobolds creeping forward, hoping, but failing, to gain surprise on the group.

[onlyme]

Do they have bows/arrows?

[dmw71]

Yes, they're equipped just like the first batch that came out to attack, and like those inside the cavern on the ledges.

[tooleychris]

With 2 daggers in hand Sorsha will move up to the northern tunnel to aid Fulp & Sparrow.

forgive me but 1 cell=5' ?

[dmw71]

forgive me but 1 cell=5' ?

Yes, they are 5-foot cells.

[saalaria]

Grim moves up readying to flank the new group

He'll move behind boulder 160 if there is room to get between it and 159. If not he'll lurk behind 143 aiming to use the gap with 159 as his route in

[OGRE MAGE]

Sparrow smiles a wickedly gapped tooth grin when he sees these stupid creatures falling right into a very deadly situation. He knows Fulp is badly injured but, he has a plan that might take out a nice group of the enemy all at once.

Fulp! Run Away! Let the others get between you and them!

Sparrow jumps from the rock to 83 as soon as he sees the kobolds advancing, hoping they think he is just hiding from them.

He removes a metal flask from his belt pouch and can be seen taking a sip from it before securing the stopper again. Surely this is no time for a cocktail?

Unless of course.........it is a cocktail.............OF DEATH!!!

He begins to stand again, hoping that he isn't shot at yet, and that his friends stay away from the opening of the cave where, hopefully more of them continue to exit.

[onlyme]

Fulp will fall back to 83, watching for arrows as he moves behind the rocks.

[tooleychris]

forgive me but 1 cell=5' ?

Yes, they are 5-foot cells.

Sorsha will move to the north and east (158)
If she can see over or between those boulders (and has time) she'll throw daggers at the kobold exiting the tunnel (k10)

Thrown Dagger (thac0:17) [1d20] = 18 Damage: [1d4] = 2
Thrown Dagger (thac0:17) [1d20] = 12 Damage: [1d4] = 3

[FantasyChic]

Leliana looks over at everyone yelling as more Kolbolds make an appearance. She groans and moves to 130 with her shield raised to block more arrow attacks, but close enough to be able to finally attack the bastards.

[dmw71]

Round 5
Despite having lost the element of surprise, the kobolds act quickly and begin to spill into the open area behind the boulders surrounding the northern tunnel. A pair targets Fulp before he can heed Sparrow's advice and fall back, but Fulp is able to fend them off with his walking stick. A third kobold attempts to slice at Sparrow's lower legs with its short sword but is unable to connect.

Leliana, Grim, and Sylvan close on the melee, while Sorsha steps up behind the nearest boulder and hurls another pair of knives; the first sinking into the flesh of an unengaged kobold, wounding it.

Unable to flee behind the boulders as originally planned without drawing extra attacks, Fulp retaliates with his walking stick but is unable to land a successful blow. In avoiding the short sword jab at his foot, Sparrow is able to jump backwards off the boulder he has been standing on and, upon landing, removes a metal flask from his belt pouch and takes a sip from it before securing the stopper again. Rising up over the boulder, and aiming away from Fulp, the dark-skinned warrior targets as many of the pesky creatures as he can and spits out a 10-foot wide blast of flame from his mouth starting everyone -- friend and foe alike! The smell of fire and charred lizard fill the nostrils of those in the immediate area.

Meanwhile, to the south, Ciar disappears into the southern tunnel.

[saalaria]

Grim runs in and attacks the nearest enemy - presumably to 113 and k10.

"Die bastards..."

He swings wildly and misses by a wide margin.

[onlyme]

Fulp swings and swats with his stick, but can tell he must have pulled a muscle attempting to throw the rocks earlier.

[AleBelly]

"Firewater!" laughs Sylvan as Sparrow chars a half dozen kobolds. He'll chase down kobold 10 or 14, attacking with his scimitar.

[OGRE MAGE]

Sparrow will take another sip of his magic potion and wait for more to exit the cave.

Now knowing the range of the fire spray, he tries to target them when they're the most bunched up while still avoiding his comrades. He will move to 70 or 85 if he has to in order to maximize targets.
