Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Sparrow stays put and continues to cover the others as they pass. If everyone gets across without incident, he too will follow.
Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Fulp examines the side of the pit, and considers his descent. While the walls are jagged, and offer plenty of foot and hand-holds, he realizes there is a genuine risk of falling with the slightest misstep.

FYI... Ciar has been making climb walls checks to safely descend and ascend the pit walls, with bonuses for the climbing surface. Fulp is welcome to try to navigate the pit, but the attempt will come with a risk.

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Witnessing Sorsha cross without incident, Sylvan shrugs his shoulders and moves to crosses the pits on the 5-foot wide ledge as quickly as possible, while Sparrow remains in place and continues to provide ranged coverage. As Nighttail, Grim, and Leliana all advance a few steps closer, the druid successfully crosses the walkway without any hint of opposition and waves the next person across.
Fulp, after examining the side of the pit, turns and begins to lower himself into the pit itself. He is successful, and manages to navigate the bottom of the pit to the opposite side, where he begins to study the wall, looking for his path of ascention. Actions?

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
"What do these sneaky dogs have planned?" Ciar wonders aloud, no longer concerned with whether or not they hear him.
He doesn't really light his torch, now that others are in the area with light sources, content with saving them for when they are really needed.
He does wonder if he would be able to move to 15 and have a good enough line of sight on a kobold to hit it with a sling bullet. To that end, he moves to 15 and monitors their activity in the balcony area.

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
While he waits for the last three to pass, Sparrow observes the pit on the left side of the path. He tries to see if there is another hidden ledge on that side as well.
If the others get by, he brings up the rear.
Nighttail! Do you know of this place? What the hell are they waiting for? They must know we are down here?

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Grim crosses over, when he sees the way onwards:
"They aint attacking as they is waiting for us to go down the 'ole. They kin then get us one at a time. We need to get down quick if we're goin'"

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Grim is next to cross, and safely reaches the opposite end just as Fulp emerges from his successful crossing of the bottom of the pit. Sparrow peers into the pit off to his left, on the opposite side of the pit crossed by Ciar and Fulp, and observes that it appears very similar to the more familiar pit, with a rocky bottom and little else. Glancing up, he does not detect a ledge on this left-hand side. "Nighttail, do you know of this place?" he asks to the kobold companion who's next in line to cross, with only Leliana trailing behind him. "What the hell are they waiting for?" The kobold reiterates that she's never been this far. "Trust they're up to something, though," she adds.
Ciar moves to the far side of the destination end and peers up to the ledge area, and fails to detect any sign of the previously witnessed kobolds on the ledge overhead on the opposite side. Actions?

While waiting for others to cross, Sylvan searches for any secret doors/passages in the south and east walls of square 24

Grim joins Sylvan in investigating the alcove - he will use his dwarven abilities to look for anything unusual.

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Sparrow let's the others cross in front of him, knowing this might not end well. He will bring up the rear to protect those in the back.
As he waits and then crosses, he looks for an open bow shot at one of the kobolds hiding up on the ledge.

Leliana follows Sparrow and Nighttail, taking out her own weapons should the tricky little buggers decide to flank them.

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Nighttail crosses next, followed by Leliana and ultimately Sparrow. Everyone manages to find themselves safely on the opposite side of the narrow walkway, in somewhat cramped quarters, surrounding the 5-foot-wide shaft with a knotted rope hanging down to another lower level.
There continues to be no further hint of kobold activity overhead. Actions?

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
"They must have been lookouts" muses Sylvan. "And if six wouldn't attack us, that means we'll be facing a big mass of them." He looks at the portal leading below with dismay. "I feel bad things are in store for the one brave enough to go first. Nighttail, we freed you. How about you go first? I'll promise to heal you and come down second."

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Fulp attempts to investigate blocks 22-24, looking for an exit route by the kobolds.

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Ciar volunteers to take a peek down the kobold hole to see what is in store for them. He will go without torch so he can try and use his dark vision to his advantage.
If nobody has any other ideas, he begins lowering down the rope...

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Fulp, Grim, and Sylvan begin searching the alcove area, and like the halfling before them, fail to locate any exits from the landing and determine the area is nothing more than a naturally carved out area.
Just a quick update while I sit in a meeting. No new map.
Actions?
I will give Ciar's suggestion from a few minutes ago until tonight before pushing forward with that course of action.

Re: XIV. Kobold Lair - Underground I
Sparrow helps Ciar with the rope, wishing there was another way down.
This sure has the feel of some kind of trap but, I don't see what other choice we have except to go down.
If you see trouble down there, give a shout and the rest of us will be quick to follow.
