Title: Rescue at Rivenroar (Game Thread)
Post by: Melblen_Cairn on November 10, 2011, 09:42:42 PM
Round 3 Results!

Borm
The rest of the Bar explodes into flames as the rest of the alcohol catches fire. The goblin pyromaniac stops short,, hearing the dwarves around the corner of the fireplace and turn and head back around the front of it. Catching sight of Everyn as he is igniting another torch. The end flares to burning life and he cackles again HahahHAHAhahahahHAhAhA! lobbing the torch at the eladrin as he scurries under a table for cover.

Everyn
Everyn ducks out of the way of the torch, and says "Your Sinruth will not save you from me vermin" as he draws a magical orb from his fine robes, aiming it at Borm and chants in a mystical language. Audible thunks of the magical force hammer against the table and chair soak up the majority of the spells effect. He then moves away from the torch and the spreading flame.

Bhrim
Bhrim move around the fireplace losing sight of the goblin he was hoping to catch has sees a hobgoblin yet standing and moving around the fireplace gets lined up for a furious charge. The hobgoblin deftly sidesteps the oncoming dwarf and his wild swing of the leading shield.

Dak
A torch flies through the air from the floor above and narrowly misses Granites backside. "AhhahahHAHAHahahahahah! Fire,Fire,....FIRE!!!".

Atanos
In a large Arc Atanos brings his scythe downard into the hobgoblin. Datesz the hobgoblin aligns his sword with Atanos' scythe and stops it inches from splitting him in two, but the weak blade gives way and the scythe continues through and gashes the hobgoblin from neck to nuts. He looks up in a stupor and he fruitlessly attempts to hold all his organs into his body as they spill out. Atanos then motions for everyone to follow him as he exits the flaming building.

Suq
Suq spreads his curse to Borm and then then moves up to one of the doors in the taproom.

Suff'a
Søffå shouts out the door to the exiting Atanos: "Get Help!!!  Bring Men, Bring Water!!!"  He turns and runs towards the back of the tavern, barking to the Dwarves and Suq as he goes past.  "Clear the rooms, and crush that little pest - I am going after the firestarter upstairs!"
Søffå makes it to the head of the stairs and looks around the corner, girding himself to the peril that lies ahead.  He wonders to himself; "How did that beast get up here, anyway?  No doubt he is not alone!"

Gruxes
Gruxes the hobgoblin rounds the corner and sees someone coming up the stairs moves for closer inspection, seeing its a human, he raises his bow and lets fly. The arrow strikes home, hitting Suff'a just as he comes up the stairs.

Kurs
Kurs the hobgoblin heads straight across the second floor following the goblin pyromaniac. From the floor you can see he begins to climb over the railing to get out onto one of the support beams.

Xet
The backdoor to the ground floor swings open and in charges several more hobgoblins. The barmaid on her way out that way shrieks in terror as they come toward her. "Looky'ere boys, we gots ourselves another pretty thing to play with an break." one brute says. Xet the hobgoblin charges her knocking her back.

Dtun
Dtun rounds the corner and swings at Suq but over swings and hits the doorjamb.

Tnob, Rnezog, Xgaren
Tnob, Rnezog, and Xgaren, all slip past Xet and surround the barmaid to grab her and drag her out of the inn.
"Looks like Dak and Borm been havin some fun in 'ere already." one of the says to the rest looking at the fire.

Bar Patrons

The barmaid struggles but against the four of them is hopelessly outnumbered but has guessed their intent well enough. "No! Help!! Someone Help!!"

The three patrons in the back are arguing about how to split the gold at the center of the table.

Round 3 Ends!

Borm gets out from under the table and moves to a new spot under another table. He pulls out his last torch, lights it and lobs it at the back table. The flaming projectile bounces off the table, scattering gold pieces and cards everywhere and smacks one of the patrons right in the face.

"Feel me axe an shield ye slime" and Bhrim lets out a cry to Moradin as he thunders across the taproom floor hews into the first hobgoblin and in a follow up slams the one next to it with his shield. The first hobgobling collapsed to the floor cleanly in two while the other flew away and lay motionless in a heap after hitting the side of the stairs. Bhrim's momentum carries him a little further to end where the second hobgoblin stood.

He lines up and lobs the torch which lands nearby and skitters to a stop at the feet of Atanos. Embers and bits of bitumen scatter around and soon begin to light the floor around Atanos on fire.

Suq
Spotting the hobgoblin across the tap room, Suq calls upon his dark powers and unleashes a smoldering black bolt at the enemy but it manages to throw itself to the side as it sizzles past and hits the doorjamb scorching a hole.

Suq doesn't stay to watch the enemy escape and ducks out the back door.

The night air is almost as hot as it was inside in the burning inn with just a slight warm breeze moving through bringing with it the cries and sounds of battle from other spots in town and the stench of burning wood and flesh. A thunderous roar echos from a distant spot in town and a moment later the sound of thunder. Even in the night sky you can tell by the smoke rising many fires have been set.

   Satisfied that the enemy is routed and that the immediate danger has passed, Søffå turns towards the blaze and to the well, assisting in the effort to save the Green Tankard.

   His spirits lighten a bit as he finds his friends are well; but he cannot prevent several questions from ruminating in his mind: "What just happened?" "Who is Sinruth, and what is the connection to the Red Fist of Doom?"  Remembering the ominous sounds forming in the distance, "What peril does this night yet hold?"

(click to show/hide)

   Refocusing on the task at hand, Søffå ushers a bucket of water to the base of the fire; he remains hopeful that someone in town may know more - Or at the very least, that he may have the chance to speak with the innmaster again.

The bucket brigade forms and buckets start being handed down the line to help combat the fire within The Green Tankard. The air is filled with the scent of burning wood and flesh and the glow of multiple fires throughout Loudwater can be viewed over the rooftops. Screams and the sounds of battle can be heard in the distance. Several townsfolk rest nearby the well that the water is being drawn from. Their injuries being the result of fire or combat. The girl that was serving you food earlier is doing her best to tend them.

The wounded and burned keep wandering up. So Bhrim and Granite leave the bucket line to help tend to them. Both must have seen their fair share of battle wounds for they tend them with expert hands.

"Sure'n we won't be see'n the end of some goblins to smack. Me axe is tell'n me we ain't done aveng'n our fallen brudder.  Bhrim says.

After tending the wounded and burned for a time, one of the inn's serving girls approaches the group from around the front of the inn. She looks like she has been through a lot this evening and exhaustion is clear on her features.
"Excuse me, but two of the town guard are out front. Marsh sent them this way. Looks like they may also need your attention" indicating they are injured. "They were looking to find out more about your fight in the tavern."

The two guardsmen have been through there fair share of fighting by the look of them. One leans heavily on his halberd while the other have a blood soaked bandage wrapped around his head haphazardly.

   Søffå turns in conversation to his friends.  "Atanos, Everin, I do not know what is happening here; from what I know of the history of goblin attacks in this region, these creatures appear to be somehow connected to the Red Fist of Doom, and yet I feel there is a difference between this band and that which Azzur Khul led those many years ago.  I do not know who or what Sinruth is, but perhaps you might?"

   "I do know this - The stench of battle is still thick in the air, and it appears the storm is growing."

   After acknowledging and thanking the serving girl, Søffå motions for the rest of the party to follow her to the front of the inn, trying his best to catch Suq's attention as well.  After viewing the two guardsmen, he says:

   "Hello.  My name is Søffå; my friends and I were sitting in the Tankard, when a couple of goblins and more than a half dozen hobgoblins burst in and began to set fire to the room and slaughter the helpless patrons.  We did our best to fight them off, but from the sounds I hear in the distance, I fear other parts of the town have had it far worse."

   "I see that you have seen some battle this evening as well.  My friends and I have a little skill in healing, we will do what we can to help you - Tell us, what have you seen this night?"

   Søffå approaches the first guardsman with the halberd in an attempt to ease his condition.

Suq
You pick up snippets of your companions conversation enough to understand what's going on. The goblin smells bad, made worse by the smoking flesh around the wound you inflicted. It wears a patchwork of leather armor, some ill fitting. Over this he has a dirty and heavily stained tunic of an off white with a red fist painted on it pointed down. Other than his clothing and pitted short sword the goblin must have traveled light for this raid....or was just dirt poor for he has no coins or other valuables.

We ran into a group of hobgoblins though, lost two good friends in that fight. From the sound of things though if your group hadn't been here there would be a lot more dead burning up in the Tankard."

   He turns towards Everin, and to the approaching Suq:  "The significance of the banner in the tavern still eludes me - Maybe Marsh knows more about this Sinruth, or at least The Fist?"

   Søffå shrugs:  "I did not know him by reputation, but I guess it was too much to expect at the moment.  Still, there is hope that I will find him safe after this peril has past."

   Hearing the sounds of battle, but not able to see much in the darkness, Søffå ignites a sunrod and attaches it to his belt near his scabbard.  He looks into the distance to see if the magical illumination helps him to learn more about the origins of the battle roar, or the creatures involved.

Granite and Bhrim make their way to the front of the inn to join the group.

Yenmorn answers, "We are not sure. We do know tha...." he is interrupted by some screams as a group of townsfolk race around the corner some looking back in horror, they flee right toward you. What looks like a barrel flys throw the air and hits the ground behind them and explodes into a ball of fire, immolating a couple of the trailers.

The source of the fire barrel soon becomes known. Rounding the corner is a curious but horrific sight. A hulking Ogre, giant tree trunk for a club in one hand. A Harness is about his waist and he is hauling a wagon behind him. His other hand reaches back to one of a pair of hobgoblins. Who has lit and hefted another barrel to hand the Ogre.

The other hobgoblin levels a bow and lets fly at one of the fleeing villagers striking one in the leg. He falls to the ground along with the child he carries.

A woman shrieks "My husband..my child....someone please save them!!!!"

The guards turn and charge off. "For Loudwater!" they shout in unison.

   "I cannot easily reach the archers this round, and I will be slaughtered if I blindly charge up towards that beast just now; the cleric is nowhere to be found, and I have already far outpaced the dwarves.  The guards seem to be in good position to save the last of the villagers, and our foe moves slowly - I want to wait a moment, until at least the Ogre moves into closer range before striking.  In the mean time, we can hit him with what ranged attacks we have."

   "Do you concur?  Do you have any spells that might improve my chances of survival?  Or, do you have another idea?"

Gor fits another arrow onto his bowstring and draws it back. Taking as much careful aim to steady himself on the moving wagon as he can, he lets fly at his previous target.

   Søffå hesitates briefly, giving Everyn and Suq an open window to launch an initial volley.  Once he confronts the beast (Ioun save me, What is that thing?  My books did not prepare me for this!), Søffå knows that he must make his every strike count.  He plans a sequence of attacks to counter the enemy.

    Søffå quickly glances around the corner once more, tracking the movement of his foe.  He mutters to himself: "Almost there..."

A gout of flame spirals up into the air and lights up the night as it flashes and rains fire down on the foes of Everyn. The ground and walls of the nearby buildings are scorched by the licking flames. The windows shatter and the doors cave in under the force of the blasts. Then BOOOM!, the barrels in the back of the wagon begin to erupt into blasts of their own.

The ogre toughs through most of the blasts on the ground without being phased to badly.

As the barrels erupt the blasts shower those near with burning pitch. The force of the blasts damages the walls of the Tailor's and Cooper's storefronts, setting them ablaze.

Suq moves to stand beside Everyn and whispering dark phrases, "Naleethah tbinth eleng born", calling upon his pact given infernal powers and brings forth a cascade of rivulets of fire to rain down on Thak. The beasts skin bubbles and fries as the clinging drops of fire scorch him and set little fires off on his tattered clothing and armor. "Dahahow!! Me's Burnin'!".

Suq quickly follows the display up with another. Drawing from his pact again he reaches out and a purplish ribbon of dark force crawls through the air toward Thaks heart but as it establishes contact the Ogre growls it away before it can begin feeding on his life force.

THAK SMASH!" the ogre roars as he repeatedly brings down his club slamming the ground around Soff'a and connecting several times. The shield of runes protecting Soff'a flares angrily against the assault and while it holds off most of the ones that do land, it can't stop the shear power and size of the Ogre wielding a petrified tree branch.

   "Begone, filth!!!"  Søffå first makes sure all wounded are being treated by capable hands, firstmost his fallen comrade Everyn; he then begins to extinguish the small fires inflicted on the town by the Ogre.  While working to quench the flames, he searches the wreckage of the cart and the bodies of the fallen enemy for any additional information on either the Red Fist or Sinruth, or any other clue that may prove helpful.

It's not long before a group of 4 guards run up. "You there! We heard an Ogre was rampaging through the streets, were you the ones to bring it down?" the lead guard yells to you on their approach.

Marril exits back out onto the street and responds quickly "Aye, they are. They saved countless lives. That you Rand? Good to see you alive."

"We are glad to have your blades then. I am Iantiln. This is Waldak, Elgret, and Graf. Marril have you word on the Captain?"  Iantiln asks.

"No, I have not seen him, but you know Old Harrowleaf. You'll likely find him by following a trail of goblin corpses stuck with arrows." the other guard answers as he readies himself to move out with you all, in as sorry a shape as he is in.

The broken gate comes into sight and as your group rounds the tower to view the bridge, you all know you can relax a bit. You see torch lights receding into the night. Corpses of goblinoids and a few guards litter the bridge. Standing amongst the dead, fresh from battle, is a group of five. The source of the dragon roar is clear, a dragonborn, wearing the trappings of a magic user, bleeds from an arrow wound on her shoulder. A teifling in chainmail, works on removing it. While a half-orc and two humans work at dispatching the remaining wounded goblinoids.

One goblin, missing a leg, crawls away from the carnage. Only to have the half orc descend upon it and smash it's skull into the bridge decking with his cudgel. He looks up and gives you a tusky grin.

The tiefling quickly finishes his work and they get their companion up on her feet. As he passes he addresses you and the guards that arrived, "Our work is done here, your bridge is secure courtesy of Blood's Brotherhood. You might want to do something about this gate tonight.", he absent mindedly waves at the sundered portal. The rest follow confidently and the stride past. The half-orc giving a tusky grin as he passes jingling a goblin belt pouch in your faces tinkling with coin before snatching it in his gloved hand.

"Why ye, half blooded son o' a demon whor....." Bhrim begins and is nearly half a stride into charging before Granite jumps in front of him. "Sur'in he be goadin us into a fight." the more level headed dwarf says.

"Aye, I have heard of them." Marril says to the group in lower tones, "It's been said that Blood's Brotherhood were the ones that slayed Slissathilar, the black dragon that lived in the Marsh of Chelimber."

"Maybe, but they were formidable enough here by the look of things." Marril comments on the number of goblin corpses and scorch marks all over the bridge.

Bhrim grumbles under his breath in heavy dwarven slurs and insults.

"A pox on their whole group, Atanos is right. Made up Bard tales that is." says Suq in agreement with Atanos. "Well gentlemen, where do we go from here? The town appears to be out of most of the danger with the goblins retreating, where else can we lend a hand?

"I don't know where they might be after tonight's attack." he answers, "If we find out where they are we will send word to the Tankard."

You all make your way back to the Green Tankard. Everywhere the effects of the attack can be seen along the way. When you reach the street that your fight with the Ogre occured you see many store fronts and the cardhouse still ablaze. Bucket lines wrok to combat the blazes but the buildings will surely be lost without more help.

Everyn steps up to the front of one building summoning arcane power and holding forth his orb. It begins to glow with cold light which flares angrily at the flames. Instant a large area if covered in ice and snuffs out much of the flames in that area as a frozen cloud coalesces. "If any of you have any cold or water magic available to you, perhaps we can help combat the flames. Everyn says. He then enacts a simple cantrip to pick up a bucket of water fill it and also dowse fires.

Post by: Melblen_Cairn on July 17, 2012, 08:26:55 PM
A odd looking halfling among a pair of two humans come up the street. One of the humans raises his hammer to the sky and calls forth,""O Spirits of the Storms, heed my call! Relieve your clouds, let your rains fall!". Which does not have any discernible effect and he looks around for other ways to help.

The halfling steps up to a large blaze and his eyes cloud over and an unfelt breeze stirs his dreadlocked hair. He brings forth a whirlwind which has an immediate impact on the fire taking away the air it needs to keep burning but throws shards everywhere. luckily no one was nearby. Everyn catches the display and nods his approval at the unique use of more destructive arcane magic.

The last of the group jumps in on the bucket line, and hands Suff'a the oncoming buckets as the come along.

The burly, redheaded human begins tying a length of rope to his warhammer as he speaks, saying, "Well met, Söffå. I am Dunor. We have indeed seen battle this night, losing several of our trusted friends. However, I am hoping we can manage to save some lives now, so that their sacrifice will not be in vain."

He tugs at the knot to make sure it's tight, and wraps part of the other end of the rope around his dominant arm. His deep, blue eyes look from the hammer up to the top of a nearby building, apparently estimating the distance.

"It is good to know there are others here helping to contain this situation."

The man begins twirling the hammer with one hand while the other holds the slack of the rope.

"Well met, Everyn Feystar out of Evereska. My name is Thespias Munroe out of Waterdeep, but my friends call me Theo. What my enemies call me I don't know, I tend to not let them finish talking. I appreciate your compliment, my talents are better suited for acting than reacting, destroying rather than rebuilding so to speak, but I will do what I can."
He does a half-hearted wave with his hand, indicating the town.
"These people here need their homes back, everyone needs a shelter from the storm, be it literal or symbolic. Mark my word though, no amount of shelter will help those responsible when I find them. Hopefully, once this is all over I can come back here and create fond memories of this place, of funny stories and situations, of interesting people and exciting adventures. Right now, I've had more excitement that I care for."

The throw is well placed, smashing the stilts from under the barrel. It  topples, and while not completely full of water due to the drought it contains enough to have a considerable effect on the flames below. Cheers go up from the nearby bucket line and a large portion of the fire goes out enough for them to more easily put out the rest.

As you reel your weapon back in and pick it up it is very hot and you nearly burn yourself retrieving it.

Assisting the townsfolk throughout the evening proves tiring work. The post combat toll on your nerves and the stresses of the night have worn on even the hardiest of your two groups. Eventually, in the waning hours of the night, the fires have been put down or fully consumed their prey and smolder in the darkness. The injured have been made comfortable as possible and most of the dead collected.

At night:

Thespias does not follow his companions back to their slain friends but rather try and find somewhere to sleep for the night. Knowing that the halfling deals poorly with the death of loved ones, his companions let him be until they all meet up at the town square the following morning.

The temple is a small one, with a pair of rooms off the sanctuary. The first room you peer into through the ajar door doesn't look to have been used in some time. The moonlight streaming through the windows show a bare sleeping pallet, empty shelves and a cleared well worn desk.

The next room is in total chaos. The bed is overturned and an emptied wardrobes contents have been carelessly strewn on the floor around it. Books ripped from the shelves along with several unimportant looking religious implements.

Then he remembers something the elderly couple mentioned.

"That couple who aided us earlier mentioned someone named 'Jalissa' and said she might be here. I assume she must be a priestess here. No one else seems to be around, though, and that is troubling."

Finding a place to rest is not too difficult, though inn vacancies appear to be scarce. You find you rest where you can and awaken to another bright day and the sun already raising the temperature uncomfortably.

The sounds of a town awakening rise around you and soon you can here construction efforts already beginning in spots. Not far from the market square, most of you see laborers at work clearing out the burnt rubble from the taproom of the Green Tankard as you pass. The fat halfling proprietor sweating under a shade tree directing some of the work. He nods as you pass, appreciation clear on his chubby face.

You all eventually gather in Loudwater's market square, the agreed upon spot.

Everyn sits on a bench a thick bound book in his lap. He pays little head to it though, with his eyes closed he is letting himself feel a warm breeze blow across him.  He opens his eyes greets each the three Storm Wolves as they approach, "Well met, very good to see you again. I hope you found some rest before this morning." and as his original companions arrive, "And where did you two end up last night?"

Dunor has been casting his glances off to the distance for the duration of the conversation. Something seems to be gnawing at his mind, which is not surprising considering the recent circumstances.

He looks back at his new companions. "Hmm, yes, that would be wise. I would like to show you our findings at the temple from last night, though. We found signs of a struggle in the main chamber, including this holy symbol on a broken chain and a patch of cloth with red paint or dye.... or perhaps blood? Besides that, one of the bedchambers had been torn through. Someone had obviously been looking for something. It did not seem directly related to the raid."

"Which temple was this?"  Søffå carefully examines the artifacts in Dunor's hand, trying to determine if he recognizes the symbol from his studies; recalling the standard taken from the Tankard the evening prior, he also tries to guess if the red in the cloth is blood, or dye similar to the stolen banner:

   "No doubt this is the talisman of a cleric of Selune; it is old, possibly as old as the temple itself."

   Søffå continues:  "From what I know of the battle, a symbol just like this was worn by the Selune cleric who fought with the Heroes of Delimbyr Vale in the War of the Red Fist, now 50 years ago.  Given the apparent allegiance of last evening's marauders to the Fist, I would venture that this is not likely a coincidence."

   "Everyn, I agree - I am very much interested in seeing this temple."

  Søffå gazes at his comrade with the slightest tinge of respect.  "Oh, you know of Norsis?  The legends of this region say many things regarding him; for one, it was he that founded the temple of Selune here in Loudwater, more than 500 years ago.  Also, they tell that he was afflicted with the curse of lycanthropy.  I am not so foolish as to discount these things entirely, but could he really have been a werewolf?"

Following Dunor and Dalanath back to the temple, you see more people cleaning up after the attack, tending wounded, and a few burying dead. A group of the River Folk have lain one of their clan to rest in one of the skiffs they ply the river in. Each passes saying goodbye and places an object in the skiff.

The temple looks peaceful and quiet from the exterior. Upon entering you can clearly see the signs of struggle revealed more clearly in the daylight.

Only silence and the sounds of the efforts going on around the town answer Atanos' greeting.

Dalanath is only succeeds in locating the bodies of his three fallen comrades. Temporarily laid to rest on in the temple. In the new light you can see that the townsfolk cleaned the wounds up and most of the blood off but also reveals their deathly pallor.

Dunor takes a closer look around with the daylight streaming through the windows. Not much is different int he new light than it was a few short hours ago. You can tell no one else has been here since you left.

No magic reveals itself to Suff'a's attuned arcane senses.

If not, then we may find more answers should we find the priestess I was told about... at least, I assume she must be the priestess here. Her name was... Jalissa?

You all see that there were signs of a struggle the night before. Things clearly knocked over that should be right. Also someone has ransacked through the one ajoining bed chamber. Robes and other feminine looking clothing have been torn from the wardrobe. Books and papers ripped away from shelves. Anything of any real value does not appear to be present in this room.
Title: Re: Rescue at Rivenroar (Game Thread)
Post by: Sk4mpE on October 17, 2012, 09:59:08 AM
   "I have not found anything of import.  From the robes on the floor, it appears that there was a woman residing here as priestess, which I would assume is the Jalissa you mention, yes?  Do you think it would also be fair to assume that she was wearing the symbol that was found last evening?"

   "If so, I am afraid that something terrible has happened to her."

   Søffå makes one last attempt, peering behind the wardrobe and any cabinets, and under the bed, just to confirm that nothing out of the ordinary can be seen.  He also searches the area around the altar, while being extremely careful not to disturb anything nor desecrate the holy temple.   (Trusting that Selune understands his noble intentions and concern for the god's disciple.)  Søffå also looks to see if there are any paintings or texts lying about that might seem out of the ordinary, or that might have belonged to the missing priestess.

   "I am at a loss - Unless anyone else has seen different, we may have reached a dead end."

   He wonders to himself what this attack means - How is this connected to the theft of the Red Fist standard from the Green Tankard?  Might other connected events have happened last night as well?  It might be time to begin speaking with the right people...

As you walk the streets moving away from the temple you see a group of the towns guard rounding the corner ahead. Marril at their lead and hobbling along side on his cane, Susteen Urbeeth. Most of the guard look pretty banged up from last night. The small man spots you quickly and points, "Look Captain, we've found them..right?"
 You hear Marril say in growing frustration to the limping man on their approach "Acting....Captain...Susteen" but he quickly composes himself and smiles at you all, "Glad we found you and....""Good sirs, it is good that you are still alive and have remained in town." Susteen interrupts, "Remember me right?, I saw most of you at the Tankard last night before all hell broke loose...right? We've been sent to fetch you."
 Marril rolls his eyes "Susteen, these men saved my life last night and from what I hear, yours as well. Show a bit more respect.". He turns back to you and says, "Susteen here is an assistant for the town's council. One of the council members sent us to find you and asks that you come and meet with him."

Marril, What of these three, the Storm Wolves as they are known. Would they be welcome to come along?" Everyn asks the acting captain. "That is, if you wish to accompany us, I know you have friends and family you wish to lay to rest soon."

Marril nods his head with the realization that the Storm Wolves also stood with the people of Loudwater and lost those close to them, "Yes, I am sure the councilman would welcome any who wished to come. Especially those who stood with us last night. I also think he would understand if you wish to see to your dead first, I myself still have some good friends to say goodbye too as well."

The rest of the guards file in behind the group and Marril walks with you. Susteen limps along next to you. It's not long before he can't contain his inability to keep quiet.
"There was another in your group, I met him last night in the Tankard, right. Fancily dressed fellow by the name of Suq, right? Where is he, did he make it through the night?"

Susteen flushes at the comments as he works out who that someone might be that Suq wandered off with.

It doesn't take long to reach the Troyas manor in town. There is a low wall that surrounds the grounds. Susteen lets you all inside and leads the group to a waiting area apparently outside an office. There are voices on the other side of the closed door.
Marril turns to you and says, "See you again soon, I have to go see to a prisoner that lived through last night." and he joins the rest of his contingent outside and they march off.

Susteen approaches the closed door and says, "I will tell Councilman Troyas you have arrived". Turns the handle and enters. A voice pours out of the open door clearly in the moment before it closes again, "Ye cannae be serious, The Counc....."

He only then appears to notice you. "Bah to them anyhow. Well met. If yer findin' Troyas donnae have anything worth hearin', yer arms surely be welcome up in Sundabar. We been se...."

"Kallad, I have business with this group. Please feel free to entice the other groups in town.", a distinguished half elf in the doorway says as the Dwarf then storms out of the waiting room with another, "Bah!"

"Well met and welcome, do come in and sit down." he says with a wave and he disappears back into the office. The office is well appoints with enough seating brought in with either chairs of couches enough for each of you to sit comfortably.  Susteen stands nearby and Troyas is seated behind his desk assuming a thoughtful pose with his hands woven and supporting his tired features.

"I fear you are correct with your observations there does appear to be a connection with the past." he confirms Soffa's concerns, "It is starting almost like it did before, a rise in bandit attacks, then more bold incursions." he takes a drink of some tea and places it back on his desk before continuing, "The previous council meeting I made a suggestion before the members that we begin to higher outside help in guarding against these bandit attacks, they quashed it then. After last nights attack, they reconsidered my proposal. I have been given approval to enlist the aide of adventurers such as yourselves in returning our townsfolk and our relics from the past."

"Was Captain Harrowleaf also among those missing presumed taken captive by the attackers?" Everyn asks, recalling Marril's reluctant promotion taking some tea offered to him by Susteen with a nod.

"Yes, since we have not found his body, we assume he was captured and taken, his son, Thurnan is also missing." the Councilman answers. Susteen makes his way to each of the guests offering the drink.

This task is beyond Soffa an myself, However we did meet another group of able adventurerers.......going by the name of wolf something or other. My point being is this would make 5 of us if the decide to help out. It might be easier to convince them if the reward were a nice round number say 500, 100 a piece........?

The councilman shakes his head at the attempts to haggle and turns to his assistant, "Ah Susteen, I am beginning to lose faith in my idea here. It seems these adventuring types are just as greedy as the last group we interviewed. Is there no one out for the common good anymore."

Søffå, in his polite but rather succinct manner, attempts to salvage the conversation:

   "Do not be so quick to discount our honor, kind sir - There is much we do not yet know, and my friend speaks true enough that more than three will be needed to accomplish this task.  A mission such as this requires men, weapons, supplies, and most of all preparation - None of which comes cheap.  So, you must pardon our hesitation; haste leads to folly, and folly to an untimely demise."

   "If gold is scarce, might you not lend your influence to aid our preparation, or to provide some information that would help us better determine the risks?  For one, just how many people are missing?  What was were the natures of the artifacts stolen?"

"It's not that it is scarce. The council is giving my plan an opportunity..to fail. Many feel its a bad idea to bring in adventurers to solve our problems.

We have reports of six people missing so far. You know of Captain Harrowleaf, his son, and Sertanian. We have also heard that an alchemist named Andronsis, a cook named Mirtala and an elderly woman named Zerriksa were taken

As for the relics, they are of more importance to the town than anything of monetary value. Sertanian would be the only one that would know everything that may be missing from the Hall. We know they made off with several shields, a ceremonial sword, and a battle standard.

Title: Re: Rescue at Rivenroar (Game Thread)
Post by: Sk4mpE on December 04, 2012, 10:56:33 PM
Sensing the sincerity in his voice, Söffå feels himself inclined to help.

"Your intentions are noble - I will help you.  I have two requests:  One, our group, myself and whoever joins me, will require outfitting.  We would require a modest amount of funds to be equipped properly, or access to your armory and stables, if such a thing is possible.  I ask that you do what you can in this regard to assist our preparation."

"Yes, hostages make things quite complicated.  People are slow, people get hurt.  Speed is critical - A horse and cart might be of great use."

"Second, we need as much information as we can - I wish for access to any historical records from the war you may have, and from those who might know more of what we are up against.  Do you have any in your guard who might be in a position to know more of your enemy?  Do you have information from other towns that might help us determine the origin where these creatures are striking from?  I overheard that a prisoner was captured - Have you had any success thus far in interrogation?"

Post by: Melblen_Cairn on December 04, 2012, 11:44:06 PM
"Ah, the prisoner. No we have not had any real chance to garner any information out of him. He wont speak to anyone unless we cut him a deal. He is to have a proper trial and likely will be hanged for his crimes." Troyas answers solemnly. "You are welcome to try to gain what information you can, he may be your best hope in finding where the beasts lair outside of tracking them somehow."

After another sip of tea he continues, "As for your first request, I find myself hard pressed to provide for you. I wish I could help, but you need to understand my position here. I am newly appointed to the council after my Mother's recent passing. My sister, myself, and a small few others on the council; from what I can see, are out for the common welfare of our community. The rest have become mostly complacent with their standing especially the ones that head various guilds. Their pursuit of wealth drives their decisions."

By reports you are capable. From what Marill tells me you may even rival our celebrated Heroes. You appear to be better equipped then any on our militia and most of our guard, plus you wield magic which fewer and fewer can claim these days. As for a horse and cart, even if one were available now, I don't know of many bandits or goblinoids that lair right off of main roads, I think you would find it of little use to you. Your path is likely to take you fairly deep into the wilds."

After a moments contemplation and some more tea, "Though I am sure with a little coaxing I might be able to have old Marsh Laval scrape up enough food and drink to fill your packs for the journey."

Troyas sternly gazes from Atanos to Soffa at the suggestion as if it was meant in jest, "We live in a civilized society in Loudwater. Bluff him as you will but you are not to take matters into your own hands. He will stand trial for his actions and he will answer for them if found guilty."

"Everyn, a fine idea."

"Atanos, I am sure your imagination will suffice, if it comes to that."  Söffå shrugs.  "However, I think we need to first see where the beasts loyalty truly lies.  Indeed, perhaps the Storm Wolves have some means at their disposal for such purposes?"

After pausing briefly to eye the sternness on Atanos' face, he continues:  "Actually, I think the promise of your, ahem, imagination may suffice to convince the creature to cooperate.  Shan't we use this threat, before resorting to more, shall we say, permanent measures?"

"No I am not busy, I can lead you to the river. Probably bought one from the Riverfolk, right." Susteen says as he turns you down a different street leading to the Delimbyr's docks.

"Most unfortunate business. There was Eladrin among their ranks that passed in the fighting. He had the look of a magic user about him. I wonder how they will lay him to rest." Everyn says.

Dunor stands at the stern of the small boat moored at the end of a fairly remote piece of land, holding both a torch and a small wooden bowl. Within the boat are several bodies, covered in shrouds and surrounded by the items owned by the corpses, as well as a good deal of dirt which seems to be weighing the boat down, and some dry reeds. Holding the torch above the bowl, he gives the stick a few tight shakes, and bits of ashen charcoal fall into the curvature of the bowl. The northerner passes the torch off momentarily, dabs two fingers into the ashes, then drags the ashes along the vertical length of his forehead and under each eye. He holds the bowl out to Theo and Dalanath, indicating that they should follow suit. Once all three are adorned, he utters a few short sentences in a foreign tongue; the words are spoken in an intently low register, and Dunor seems to hang on certain syllables as though the passage were escaping from some deep recesses within his body. It sounded vaguely dwarven, but is not recognizable as sharing that language's vocabulary or grammar.

Dunor unties the boat and kicks it out from land's edge.  Before it gets too far out, he tosses the torch in, catching the reeds aflame, and soon the rest of the contents begin to burn.

Søffå is overwhelmed by the power of the moment; hearing the words spoken by Dunor and viewing the spectacle of the floating funeral pyre, a wave of emotion surges through him.

As the smoke drifts upwards into the mid-morning sky, he solemnly utters a few words of respect:

A blaze erupts in the boat, luckily an eddy in the river keeps the boat in the center of the water, spinning slowly. The smell of burning flesh fills the immediate area. Small sparks and slight fizzling fireworks pop from the boat as the Eladrin's magical reagents and books are consumed by the flames.

Everyn lays a consoling hand on Theo's shoulder.

Eventually after a number of minutes pass, the conflagration compromises the boat and it collapses into the water ashes spreading into the current and being carried off.

Everyn lets these new companions of his grieve for a few minutes after the boat disappears under the waters of the river.

Watching his brother's body burn, Dalanath grieves internally though his face shows no sign of it.  He reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out the carving he had taken from Rothgar's body, gently rubbing it with his thumb.  Rothgar's death was a waste, he died for those who did not know him and would not truly appreciate his sacrifice, just as Dalanath always knew he would.

Upon hearing the offer of vengeance, Dalanath looks to Dunor.  "Shall we?"

"Right." Susteen leads the group off to the stocks.

Off to one end of the market square stands several wooden stocks. A lone hobgoblin is shackled there. His wounds from last night’s battle have been bandaged, but a number of rotten tomatoes on the ground near him and on the surface of the stocks indicate that his treatment hasn’t been completely kind.

He takes one weary look at you and says, “I ain’t saying nothin’ unless you people let me go.”

Two of the town's guard stand nearby watching over the prisoner.

   "Weak, eh?"  Søffå approaches the creature; he begins to walk behind the stocks, out of view.  "As I recall, you were defeated before at the hands of elves and men such as us, rather soundly, I might add.  Then as is now, if you choose to start war, there can be only one outcome."

   Søffå rounds back to within eyesight of the captive foe.  His open hand gently moves toward the creature's face, when suddenly a blade appears in it, now pressed tightly to the hobgoblin's throat.  Søffå bends down to look the creature directly in its eyes, and speaks calmly:

   "Your fate is inevitable.  Despite your words, the fear in your gaze belies that you know this to be true.  Sinruth is your leader, you say, but he has no merit beyond the others that have risen, and fallen, before him - What makes you think he can save you from certain doom?"

The halfling, having stayed quiet to master his explosive fury upon seeing the prisoner, decide to step up to the goblinoid. Not really wanting to intimidate the captive as much as just point out the situation to him calmly, he puts on a very matter-of-fact voice.

"The thing is, my good man, is that this is very simple. No one will let you go before you tell them what you know. Eventually, one of two things will happen. Someone thinks you're too much of a bother and you'll die. Or someone who isn't in charge will manage to get up to you and kill you. Or perhaps you'll just be left here to rot, or a handful of other variants of your demise, be it slow or quick. Regardless, sir, I think you can see the outcome of these situations. Your prospects are less than optimal, if you decide to say nothing at all. Especially once people less kind than us decide to start carving the answer out of you."

Thespias takes a poignant pause for a few seconds, before continuing.

"But that is one thing. The other is that you tell the people here, as well as anyone else that is interested, as much as you are capable of revealing. Then there might be a chance for you to survive all this. Last time you all tried this, it failed. This time won't be different. It's your choice, really."

"If you wish to see the light of another day, you will cooperate with us. If you care not for your own life, then feel free to die here.

Søffå contemplates for a second, then mutters:  "Well, Atanos, what you say is true enough.  Still, a map may prove useful.  I would not give any preferential treatment to this beast, though - At least, not until our return, and..." Søffå pauses to gaze at the goblin, making sure he has its full attention, "...only if the map proves its value."

"Susteen, might you find some parchment and a quill, and maybe a board for backing?  Unless you would rather loose the creature's claws for the task?"
Title: Re: Rescue at Rivenroar (Game Thread)
Post by: Melblen_Cairn on February 02, 2013, 09:39:29 AM
"Right!" Susteen rushes off to find the materials requested. When he returns, he is accompanied by a couple more guards. "I consulted with Councilman Troyas right.. and he agrees that should the hobgoblin's map assists you it then it will go some ways with the brutes sentence.

The extra guards train crossbows on the hobgoblin as the other two manacle the hobgoblin and release him from the stock. Armed with a bit of charcoal and rough parchment, the goblinoid draws a crude map with a few noticeable landmarks to look for. It's not the work of a master cartographer by any means but it gives you your heading.

As soon as it's over the beast is placed back in the stocks, much to the relief of the gathered crowd of onlookers. As you set back off through town to gather some last minutes supplies you see a few from the crowd launch a couple more rotten vegetables at the hobgoblin with fairly keen accuracy.

Provisions are hard to come by in the current state of the town. Those shops that are open are are sparsely stocked. Apparently those items not requisitioned by the council to help the town, have been scooped up by the scared populace. That leaves the overpriced merchants that came to town recently, so many of the items you seek cost a bit more that you expected.

One jewel in the madness is Marsh Laval. The fat halfling finds and waddles up flanked by the two serving girls you rescued last night. "My dear boys, you simply cannot leave without a token of my gratitude. I managed to locate some foodstuffs that the merchants from out of town had in spare and put together something to keep your bellies full as you pursue those nasties. he says  with a sly grin.

The dark haired lass approaches Soff'a and hands him a package of food and skin full of liquid. She shyly says, "I owe you my life and more." she manages to glance up into his eyes,  "I know full well what my fate would have been at the hands of those monsters. I hope you return safely." and with that she quickly stands up on her tip toes and pulling Soff'a down a bit kisses him on the cheek. Then rushes off with the other serving girl giggling, who up to that point had appeared to be sizing up the powerful looking Dunor.

After unloading the rest of the foodstuffs on you, Marsh bids you farwell on you journey, "Good luck to you, and bring those poor fellows taken home."

Once you're all provisioned you set out the broken gate, and once past the orchards and farms......into the wilds.

   Søffå, having packed all of his new gear into his backpack (space being a bit tight), returns to the gate to find his party ready to depart.  Without a word, he falls in line as the party ventures out, alongside Dunor, near the head of the group.

   Confused as to where they are headed, Søffå looks at the map once again; in a bit of luck, he recognizes one of the large trees crudely drawn by the goblin as similar to those he grew up around as a boy.  "This variety does not grow in these parts, but further to the north." he mutters, hoping that his knowledge is not too out of date...

   At least the added heft in his pack does not seem to be as much of a burden as he thought - For now, thankfully, he seems to be dealing rather well with the rigors of the journey.

The group moves easily through the wilds for the first few hours and encounter very few natural hazards due to the watchfulness of several in the party. Even the heat seems to be mitigated by frequent short breaks and traveling in the shade of trees. The terrain does become more rugged and the paths you are taking seem to rise in elevation as you near the foothills region before the Greypeak Mountains.

As he surfaces, Søffå sees the many creatures assailing his comrades; immediately he moves to create a shielding aegis against the largest beast.  He shouts: "Watch your step!  The ground is weak, and the tunnels below are swarming with these foul things!"

Dunor swings his hammer at the younger creatures, trying to smash through them on his way to the bigger threat.
Dunor's hammer lands a solid blow on one of the young and the resounding thunder rattles the Kruthik next to it. The Kruthiks are a frenzy of bony claws and spikes its difficult to stay in their general vicinity without getting injured.

The first of the Kruthik young injured by Dunor retaliates with bony claws.

The second follows up on the firsts swings.

The third also gets in on the attack.

Meanwhile under the ground...

Everyn collapsed through the ground and lands in a cave among several smaller Kuthiks. With several hisses and clicks they leap on the wizard. Everyn thrashes under the onslaught but soon lays motionless as the Hatchlings continue tearing at him.

 A few others appear in the tunnel and make their way toward Søffå's prone form.Three of the hatchlings when they get close to Søffå they leap to the attack.

As more and more creatures starts to make their way up, Theo feels the need for some more destructive magic. He advances and lets loose a mighty whirlwind over the creatures ahead of him. The wind whips up and buffets several of the Kruthiks, knocking them to the ground.

Søffå regains his footing and strikes back at his attackers!  A sweep of his sword lets forth a blast of force.
The built up energy releases from Søffå's blade and lashes out at his attackers. The 2 dimensional force cuts deeply into each severing each in half, gore spraying everywhere.

Having dispatched the enemies on hand, Søffå looks down both tunnels to sense if any other creatures are near.  To his horror, he bears witness to the ruined, twitching corpse that was once his friend.  "NOooo!"

Abandoning the shredded remnants of his fallen companion, he somehow summons the energy to climb out of the tunnels into the daylight.

As he surfaces, Søffå sees the many creatures assailing his comrades; immediately he moves to create a shielding aegis against the largest beast.  He shouts: "Watch your step!  The ground is weak, and the tunnels below are swarming with these foul things!"

Atanos weighing his options carefully, sacrifices is friend Everyn for the greater good move closer to Dunor.
"Oghma guide my feet safely and grant hope upon all in despair"

Several Kruthiks Young are bathed in the holy light and they seem almost to diminish slightly. The light also falls on the corpses of the 3 hatchlings just killed by the sweep of Søffå's blade. As the light bathes Atanos' three companions they are invigorated and some of their wounds begin to close.

Dalanath carefully moves forward then strikes at the creature he is flanking with Dunor, ready to hit it again if it attacks him.

Dalanath's blade rips a large hole in the back of the younger Kruthik just pounded by Dunor's hammer strike. The Kruthik still has plenty of fight left as it continues it's frenzy with several bony claws lashing toward the young rogue.

Kruthik Ambush Round 6 Results!

With a hiss of defiance as if it understood what Søffå was conveying the creature angles it's tail in the tall swordmage's direction at his taunts and the bony protrusions on it spew forth in a shower that sprays toward Søffå and Dalanath. Spikes stop within inches of Søffå and fall to the ground as runes flare on the mystical shielding of the swordmage's form while the lithe rogue deftly dodges clear of the spray using the taller human as his own living shield.

Dunor continues hammering away at the young Kruthiks, his attention focused on battering them into submission. His fury keeps building as he works off the frustration of losing yet another ally. The hammers strike splatters bone and gore everywhere when it contacts the Kruthik's skull. The discharge of electricity arcing to the next one, jolting it.

The last of the Kruthik Young keeps up the assault while still smoking from the electrocution it took.

The hatchling keeps up the pursuit on the backpeddaling halfling matching his steps and swiping with it's bony claws.

The halfling continues his frantic retreat, casting lightning as quickly as he can.

With his lifeforce somewhat restored, Søffå moves in once more for the kill.

With all his healing spent and little life but a lot of fight left in him Atanos guides a ray of light at the adult kruthik

Dalanath quickly moves to flank the nearest kruthik, attemping to pierce its hide with his dagger. Dalanath's blade sinks deep into the last hatchling, gore spraying Thespias, sinks to the ground.

Wounded and tired, a black Dragonborn limps from behind a boulder to the North.  As he collapses to his haunches he produces a thick ceramic jar, "I believe your friend needs this more than I..."  He lays the healing potion on the ground beside Atanos.  "It is only ever a *true* battle when some of the blood you are wearing is your own."

Opening the jar, Dunor administers the potion to Atanos. He turns to look back at the stranger and asks,

"What has brought you here, friend?"

Shifting to a seated position and chiding himself for being in pain "The actions of one I knew as a friend, but no more.  He is Githzerai and now also a traitor.  There was a time we travelled the Planes together.  At a time that I was without weapon he turned on me and chose then to sell me.  I do not know to whom I was sold but I was able to escape during an ambush and fled with this pack I was able to grab in the confusion.". Gamesh spits at the thought of fleeing, his acidic saliva quickly dissolving the rock face it splattered across.

Calming himself "I heard your friend cry out."  nodding over his shoulder at where Everyn's remains lie  "Had I a weapon and not been at such a great distance I would have come to his aid.  My energy was spent during the ambush where I won my freedom and my weapon was among those that held me captive.  Once I saw this one struck down - motioning toward Atanos - I knew it a better choice to approach the group rather than the fallen."

The halfling sits down, exhausted, and begins to tend to his wounds. He makes a weak flourish and a halfhearted attempt at a smile.
"Well met Gamesh, my name is Thespias Munroe, but by all means, call me Theo. We're your average group of charming misfits, roaming the lands trying to make a difference." He winces as he tries to relax, the adrenaline leaving his system, replacing it with pain.
"Risky business though, I would have lost another friend if you hadn't showed up. Thank you."

Snarling a bit "Among those that ambushed my captor and his band were many goblins and among the possessions I was forced to leave behind were not only my weapons but also my pack.  There is something very important that I must retrieve."  Crossing his legs and preparing to meditate, a final flash of anger crosses his onyx features.  "I carry a piece of the Betrayer that I must not lose."  Visibly calming and exhaling deeply, Gamesh allows himself to slip away, a pale green glow wavers around him as he slides into a deep meditation.

Søffå walks off towards the remains of Everyn; he collects the remnants of his belongings (The pack being in surprisingly good condition) as well as his friends' dagger.  He removes the coin pouch from the body, and after a moment of contemplation,  throws this as well into the pack.

Søffå returns and tosses the pack towards the stranger.  "Here - May these take better care of you than their former owner.  I only ask that you pay your respect in helping us bury the fallen."

With that, Søffå returns to the opening, and using what means he can find begins to fill in the hole, meaning to bury Everyn where he lay.

It is an arduous task of collapsing the hole enough to cover Everyn's body but eventually he is only mostly covered by the fallen dirt so a small cairn of stones is needed to complete the task to keep animals at bay.

After the respects are paid, the rest of the evening is fairly quite. Some exchange stories of past exploits and you learn a bit more about each others origins around, considering the hot weather, a very small and low campfire.

You find Kruthik meat to be palatable, if a bit bitter in taste after being charred thoroughly by fire with the hatchlings flesh being tender and less acidic. With a belly full of meat, most of you bed down for the evening leaving one or two to watch every few hours.

The Halfling slowly gets up as he wakes up. Spending a few moments to get his braids and dreadlocks all in place after his tossing and turning, he decides to put the troubling dreams caused by the recent deaths away and focus on the present. With as much positivity he can muster, trying to keep the spirits high in the group, he speaks as soon as notice that everyone is awake.

"So, good morning to you all. As I am not the woodcraftiest-" Theo makes an over-emphazied slow wink to accentuate the pun "-Halfling there was, do any of you know how far we've come and how long it'll take us to get to our destination? Not that I am bored of the travels so far, I would in fact not mind a bit of dull, empty road given yesterday."

   The final hours of watch pass along slowly, but uneventfully.  After dawn, Søffå finds a few minutes to re-read an old text he brought along, on the history of the region, while waiting for the others to awaken.  As the sun rises and his companions stir, Søffå places the tome back into his bundle and makes his way to Atanos:  "I recalled that this area here", pointing at the map, "Has had a history of goblin activity, so I checked my history and found two other points on our route, here, and here, where attacks have occurred in the past.  Best we avoid those, as well."

Leaving your campsite, it's not long before you find you bearings and soon after you begin seeing numerous signs of passage. About an hour more of brisk hiking brings you to a valley in the hills and ruins of a castle and out buildings worn down by the years to mostly low walls and foundations. Many of the tracks and signs of passage you have been seeing head toward the ruins.

Søffå circumvents the ruins and it is not hard to determine that there is quite a bit of recent activity around the ruins. Nearly stepping knee deep into a recently dug hole used for a latrine that someone did not care enough to hit very well.....be sure to clean those boots off now.

From a vantage point on the other side of the ruins, he can spot a semi intact arch attached to a broken hallway which has a dark hole or steps leading down into the ground.

Seeing the trepidation of his comrades, Søffå frowns.  "Well, I suppose we have come this far; we will be going in, yes?"  Looking at his newest companion, he continues:  "Gamesh, you are not bound to our purpose, but we will be glad to share both the danger and the spoils with you, should you be willing." 

Søffå turns back to the group.  "Atanos, Thespias, I think you best stay in the middle of the group, in case we are taken by surprise again.  Dunor, Gamesh, two of us should perhaps take the lead, with the other forming the rearward?  I will myself volunteer for the vanguard, unless there are objections."

The stench of the latrine still lingers slightly.  Søffå looks around to see if there are any signs of clean water nearby...

"Alright."

Søffå uses a small amount of water from his skin to clean his boot once more; seemingly satisfied, he removes a torch and flint, in preparation for the descent.

He turns to the rogue:  "I have never done anything like this before; and be it brave or foolish I cannot tell.  Perhaps you have some experience, or are otherwise more familiar with the dark places of this land than I?  What council might you offer?"

The flagstone stairwell descends into darkness though it is clear from the surrounding area, trampled grass, a lack of cobwebs in the stairwell, worn walkway spots, that many have passed through this way. The cooler moist air of the descent beckons you in reprieve of the oppressive heat and sun outside.

With a thunderous sound, the blade sweeps at the goblin and the rumbling shakes it.

Flames leap up again from one brazier to another, scorching little more that the hobgoblin corpse.

Seeing the braziers move closer, Atanos weighs his options and backs up a bit and casts. Divine light streaks toward Xnes, burning a hole through his chest. He collapses to the damp flagstone.

Kegt tries to slip in behind Dalanath and begins trying to skewer the rogue with his short sword. Dalanath tries to take advantage of the goblin's lowered guard.

Tkanz picks his shot and fires at Dunor.

Xer slips back closer to the door taking a shot at Søffå.

Another arc of lightning bursts from the halflings hands, striking two of the enemies.
Bzzzztttt! Zzzztt!
the smell of ozone fills the air as the hobgoblin shakes and jolts followed by the goblin in the left corner of the room.

Moving farther back in the room Gamesh chances a wild swing at the nearest enemy with this ridiculous weapon he is stuck with. Kegt scurries out from beneath Gamesh' onslaught and skitters back a few steps.

The torchlight has an immediate effect on the darkness of the passage. It bleeds away from the light as you enter and reveals that the route turns to the left not far in. Around the corner you spot a faint blue glow up and ahead. The edge of the torchlight reveals a stairwell ahead rising up toward the glow.

As each ascends the steps and you can see more of the room the origin of the blue pulsing glow is a set of runes on the floor. In the dim light they give off you can make our alcoves carved into the walls.

Out of the darkness, low to the floor a set of eye reflects the light and a small drake steps close to the runes, and then another, and soon many appear. At Dunor and Gamesh setting foot into the room they all suddenly hiss as one and leap at the two warriors.

The small creatures deftly move from the way of the branch's arc but they are not so lucky against Gamesh's breath. The acid clings to everything in the area, melting flesh from bone and etching the stone in the spots it touches. A caustic smell fills to room. Several of the small drakes near the front lay dead. More take the fallen's place though and they continue to snap their needle sharp fangs at you, though none seem to find their way through your tough scales.

The acid splashes onto the Hobgoblin behind the swarming drakes. She swears and wipes her face of the spittle revealing pinked burned flesh underneath. Cracking her weapon in you direction whips the needle fang drakes into a frenzy.

Seeing the mass of scales and teeth surge at the group, Søffå drops his torch at the top of the stairs. Blade glinting blue and orange in the light of the fire and glow of the floor and whispering a few syllables in the arcane tongue his blade flashes with some runes. Those same runes appear in the air in front of the pack of drakes to his right, warding his friends from that side.

Then stepping closer to Dunor slips in and sweeps his blade out. A magical force rushes from the arc of the sword to a devastating effect on the Hobgoblin's pets. A number of them fall dead from the attack.

The drakes seem to hold most of their fury back waiting for their master's command.

Nrogut lashes out with her whip, barbs biting deep into Gamesh's legs. She yanks on the whip and he slams onto his back and is dragged into the glow of the runes. "V''t, so b'dk!!" she hisses as the runes suddenly flash an angry blue but the battlemind slips through space and appears not far away from the spot he was being dragged to. The blue flames die away as soon as they began, replaced by the pulsing blue glow.

The drakes nearest to Gamesh leap onto the prone dragonborn biting and slashing. Runes above Gamesh flare from Søffå's earlier protective magics absorb some of the drakes assault.

The thinned group of drakes on the other side of the room leap at Dunor with more ferocity. They leap on his legs, back and cling to his arms, latching their needle sharp teeth; dragging the large human to the ground.

Dunor gets up, focusing his attention on the swarm beside him. He knows there are too many of the creatures to do much good attacking any one drake, but simply does his best to beat back as many as he can, futile as it may be. Try as he might, the swarm keeps coming...

Von Jallach Crypt Round 1 Results!

The area burns with bright radiance as a brief flash erupts from Atanos upheld palm and streaks off toward the drakes to the right but they part and the beam of light flies past them.

Unable to move around to a good flanking position without opening himself up to be attacked, Dalanath assumes a defensive position.  He strikes at the drakes and then warily awaits their attack with a couterattack of his own readied. As Dalanath closes to strike several of the drakes snap at the incoming rogue. Their small jaws do not find a hold though. Dalanath's slim blade dances in but those drakes slip back and the edge chips off a small piece of wall narrowly missing it's intended small target.

The sound of a whip cracking behind the right swarm and a hissed goblin command draws you attention to a crooked hobgoblin in ragged leathers.

The lightning arcs from your hand and hits one of the small creatures, killing it and as the energy jumps to the next group it hits another and lays it low as well. There are many more still nipping at Dunor and Gamesh.

The small creatures deftly move from the way of the branch's arc but they are not so lucky against Gamesh's breath. The acid clings to everything in the area, melting flesh from bone and etching the stone in the spots it touches. A caustic smell fills to room. Several of the small drakes near the front lay dead. More take the fallen's place though and they continue to snap their needle sharp fangs at you, though none seem to find their way through your tough scales.

Gamesh snarls as he rounds on - and misses - the primitive creatures with his club, acid already spraying through the bared teeth of his vicious snarl.

The acid splashes onto the Hobgoblin behind the swarming drakes. She swears and wipes her face of the spittle revealing pinked burned flesh underneath. Cracking her weapon in you direction whips the needle fang drakes into a frenzy.

Seeing the mass of scales and teeth surge at the group, Søffå drops his torch at the top of the stairs. Blade glinting blue and orange in the light of the fire and glow of the floor and whispering a few syllables in the arcane tongue his blade flashes with some runes. Those same runes appear in the air in front of the pack of drakes to his right, warding his friends from that side.

Then stepping closer to Dunor slips in and sweeps his blade out. A magical force rushes from the arc of the sword to a devastating effect on the Hobgoblin's pets. A number of them fall dead from the attack.

The drakes seem to hold most of their fury back waiting for their master's command.

Nrogut lashes out with her whip, barbs biting deep into Gamesh's legs. She yanks on the whip and he slams onto his back and is dragged into the glow of the runes. "V''t, so b'dk!!" she hisses as the runes suddenly flash an angry blue but Gamesh, realizing he's falling into a dangerous situation, desperately reaches for the space beside the hobgoblin only to land with a thud right beside her. The blue flames die away as soon as they began, replaced by the pulsing blue glow.

Gamesh falls deeper into unconsciousness. He will need help soon if he hopes to survive long.

Theo's blast of lightning blasts away the remaining drakes on the left side of the room, scattering some the skitter for hiding among the alcoves in the darkness along the walls.

The swarm hisses and snap at the runes that leap around them as the tall human aggressively approaches. They leap at the swordmage, trying to bare Søffå to the ground as they bite at his legs and ankles while leaping onto his upper body. With so many swarming him Søffå he eventually stumbles and lands hard on his knees. More pile on once he falls but again most of their bites are hindered by his protective magics and his sturdy leathers.

Round 4 Results!

Atanos rushes in, careful to avoid the drakes hopping around sparks still going off in their midst. Grabbing the dragonborn by the arm the cleric drags the heavy warrior out of the runes and away from the drakes kicking a few out of the way that come too close to his fallen charge.

The area around him finally safe for a moment, Dalanath takes a quick breather to center himself as he readies to face the drakes once again.

Gamesh falls deeper into unconsciousness. He will need help soon if he hopes to survive long.

Advancing so that he can see his opponents, Thespias electrical attack this time hits home. Theo's blast of lightning blasts away the remaining drakes on the left side of the room, scattering some the skitter for hiding among the alcoves in the darkness along the walls.

Søffå regains his footing and moves to confront the remaining swarm.

The remaining drakes that do not take the brunt of Theo's electrical attacks scatters and hide amongst the darker recesses of the room or race down the stairs into the darkness behind the group. There has been no further sign of the additional attackers that were striking from hiding beyond the doors.

With the hoard of drakes broken and after a moment, realizing that those that struck from hiding may have moved on, you find you have a few minutes to breathe while minding the doors. Now that the fighting it over you now take in more of the room. The retrieved torch reveals more. Oddly the alcoves within chambers walls are all empty, with the exception of debris and detritus making up numerous nests. In some of which hide the few drakes that ran from you.

Atanos works on each of you, calling on his god's divinity to heal the deep puncture wounds, lashing cuts, and burn injuries.

As the group finishes resting and the cleric puts his healing kit away, Dunor holds his hand up to the group, then gestures toward the door. He had picked up a few minor habits from the Elf during their journey, despite how brief their travels have been, and he had learned how better to perceive his surroundings. His mind momentarily clear, he could hear something just beyond the door. He checks to make sure his group is ready and armed, then launches toward the door, hoping to catch the creatures by surprise. Or, at the very least, give them quite a nasty shock...

Slamming through the door, you see the briefest of torchlight in a dark space get suddenly put out with a hiss, plunging the room beyond into darkness, leaving the light from Søffå's torch illuminating some of the hall beyond the door. You can hear the tinkling of water splashing into a pool or fountain.

"Ah, yer done for now, ye little shites!" which is answered with another thud.

Søffå and Atanos follow to keep up with the group. The darkness slowly bleeds away from the torch carried by the tall swordmage. The very edge of the flickering light reveals a low fountain in the room.

As the rest of the group files through the door and Dunor begins to round the corner a Goblin voice comes from the darkness deeper in the room, "Stop right there or we shoots the Dorf."

Another voices whispers loudly from over near the fountain area still masked in dark, "Rhor A dakuul tuur mel khruul."

"Khruun, daan khraal mel duun her okhuul maagaan." the first voice whispers back.

"I agree, lets shed some light on our aggressors and see if they scurry away." Søffå whispers and steps out from the corner to lob his torch into the darkness of the room. Gauging well how far into the darkness he should throw it based on those voices he releases the flaming brand. It sails off illuminating the room oddly as it spins. The torch lands and sputters, sending some burning embers scattering across the stone floor.

You see the two goblins that ran from your fight in the entry chamber. One crouches behind the fountain, aiming a hand crossbow in your direction. The other also has a hand crossbow in hand and is pointing it very closely to the head of a dwarf hanging limply off the wall by his writs in chains. His chest still rises and falls slightly so the last knocking they gave him must have just sent him into unconsciousness.

Gamesh's voice rumbles low with threatening yet tempered command.  He has had enough of these creatures and of the luck the fates have bruised him with on this journey. 

"Give the dwarf to us unharmed and there will be no blood spilled in this place.  We have bested your fighters, your mages, and your pets.  I only seek those that attempted to enslave me and, since I haven't recognized any of you YET, this is your opportunity to escape with your lives."

"It is good if we get out, but nothing stopping yous from killin us on the way out. Tkanz responds to Thespias' reason.

Dalanaths smile does not have the desire effect standing in the darkness, but his words do. "We have yer promise on that? Fine. You come in more and let Xer an me out." Tkanz asks and Xer begins to lower his weapon.

At the first sign of treachery the goblins raise their crossbows back. Tkanz screams, "Tricks! Xer shoot dems!" and with a small click his own crossbow fires the quarrel whistles at Atanos and hits the Elf in the leg.

Xer fires almost at the start of Tkanz's warning. The dismal little crossbow does not have much power behind it and what would have hit Gamesh in the head drops over the distance and slams into his groin.

The tall human's blade hums through the air as he slashes into the unaware goblins. Xer falls under the initial onslaught and the sudden magical wave of slashing force slams into both, four separate pieces of goblin hit the floor unmoving.

As the enemies die, Atanos uses his healing magic on his wounds. Offering the same to Gamesh's injuries as the group takes interest in the dwarf hanging unconscious from the wall.

Dunor runs over to the dwarf and unties the bindings that hang him like some sort of twisted decoration upon the wall. He gently lowers the body to the ground.

"Hey, is there anything we can do for this fellow? He's pretty badly roughed up."

Søffå glances at his blade, somewhat surprised by the carnage it has wrought.  He quickly wipes the blade, then enters the room cautiously.

Picking up his torch in his free hand, Søffå looks at the dwarf being attended by Dunor; seeing his state, he sheathes his blade and offers some of his water to the prisoner.

The chains pull free of the wall with a good tug from Dunor's large arms. After a few moments the resilient prisoner comes to. "Ach, me head. Feels like ah had a hard night of drinkin' Durgen's Stout." taking a few small draws from Søffå's waterskin. ""Thank ye. Ye all are a sight fer me swollen eyes."

Gamesh recounts escaping the goblin slavers, meeting the group, and their decsent into the dungeon.  Taking a seat on the ground across from the dwarf the Dragonborn slips into a light meditation and asks "How are you known?  What is your name"

The dwarf listens intently to Gamesh's telling grimly but brightens about the escape, "Giv'in it to mor'in a few of em on yer way out there eh?"

"Me name's Adronsus Mordar o' the Sundabar Mordar's. Be an Alchemist by trade." the dwarf manages proudly even in his beaten state. "Wonder what those buggers did to me shop back in Loudwater." and then as if he was hit suddenly by the thought, "Have ye run across any o' the others yet?"

Adronsus falls into step behind the group as everyone heads back toward the first chamber. As soon as the door opens to enter, those braziers flare up and begin their trek across the floor and as the door closes behind they both cease.

"Be takin' me straight across through that door" the dwarf says pointing a stubby finger at the door across from you. "Dinnea be knowin' there be another door in this chamber."

"Which way should we take?" Atanos asks the group with a shrug of his shoulders.

The door whispers open but then grinds across the floor as it gets caught on a piece of crumbling stone. A damp, musty smell immediately assails your noses. Light from Søffå's torch reaches into the room illuminating a portion of a very dimly lit chamber. Beyond the fire's light, multicolored phosphorescent fungi cover and illuminate mounds of architectural debris throughout the visible portions of the room.

Søffå cautiously enters the room torch raised high over his head to shed as much light as possible keeping alert.

(click to show/hide)

Atanos boldly stalks into the room, right to the edge of the torchlight, peering into the dim light to have a look around. His ears picking up a subtle sound. "What was that over there?" pointing to over to the right.

"I heard it too." as he points his sword in the direction of a long low hiss that comes from the darkness off along the wall to the right that everyone hears.

Dalanath slips through the doorway, keeping away from the potential noise.  He's had enough excitement for now.

Over imagining all the large evils that could be lurking where the sound issued from, Søffå whispers to the group, "Prepare yourselves." and lobs his torch toward the low hiss plunging most of you into darkness. The flaming brand flies through the air but is thrown harder than he wanted and clatters loudly off the wall. The light reveals two large wingless dragon-like creatures, One a deep red the other with red-brown scales. As soon as the illumination uncovers their hiding spots they leap to attack.

The drakes are seemingly unaffected by the Gamesh's words. Søffå races forward, closing the ground between himself and the drake nearest. As he goes he intones an incantation. Runes float about the Deep Red Drake. The tall human swings him blade scratching the deep red scales on the large wyrm's neck. A scratch is all that is needed and as the swordmage steps back a few steps the drake is lured along as if on an invisible leash.

The deep red drake roars and snaps it's jaws at Søffå, the agile swordmage dancing out of the savage bite.

The red brown drake climbs up a pile and leaps forward at Atanos, a big puff of spores engulfs it as it does. It brings both front claws to bare on the cleric rending him bloody.

Wanting to flank one of the creatures, Dalanath move around behind the one attacking Atanos.  After seeing the puff of spores he'd like to avoid the fungus as much as possible.

Tumbling up behind the creature Dalanath then attempts to bury his dagger in its back.

Atanos steps back as the drake turns, drawing his longbow with an arrow knocked and lets fly at close range. the arrow sinking to the fletching in the drake. Whispering a prayer to his deity, some of the wounds close.

Dunor rushes straight ahead, swinging his hammer as he goes. Still a few feet away, he swings at the large shape obscured by shadows, going by the faint glow of the mushrooms to see by.

Gamesh strides across the stone beside Dunor and swings mightily at the Red-Brown Drake but the club just glances off the hardened scales of it's flank as it is turning for Dalanath.

(click to show/hide)

As Gamesh misses the large human swings his hammer at the drake but fails to land a solid blow and the drake slips barely from the static charge that would have leashed it and dragged it to Dunor.

Theo slides behind some rubble within range of both fights. Seeing Dalanath in danger, the Halfling brings up a small whirlwind that envelopes the rogue and blows with such force that its kicks up dirt and debris into the swirl. The drake fights the wind but Theo growls and pours more fury into the spell driving the drake off its feet to land hard on the ground.

Getting an idea from what he witnessed from the first drakes disturbing the fungus on its charge, Søffå attacks and quickly dances backward pulling the drake with him. It's bulk slams into the debris and some of the mushrooms explode into an inky cloud of spores.

The drake in front of Søffå, keeps up it's biting assault but can't see the human well in the black cloud.

The Red-brown Drake bleeds from several wounds which only serves to enrage it more. It lashes out at Gamesh which its snapping jaws filled with razor sharp fangs as it rolls back onto its feet.

Feeling that his allies are keeping the one drake on its toes, Dunor moves to assist Søffå.

Unable to distinguish much about where, exactly, the Drake is, he swings a wide arc with the broad side of his hammer. If he missed, it would be due to the clumsiness of the swing; if he did hit, however, it would pack quite a punch.

The hammer hits something with a satisfying thud and by the roar Dunor are thankful that it was not Soff'a. Just then a lightning bolt sizzles past the large warrior's head to slam into the stone wall beyond showering both humans with dust and chips.

Theo shrugs in the dim light of the mushrooms with a child like grin, "Sorry."

"Ach, ye should be, marred a perfectly good stone wall ye did." the dwarf responds still crouching among the debris pile.

Continuing his plan Soff'a dances to the side and lashes out with his blade catching the drake and the magic pulls the beast along over the rubble and more mushrooms burst.

(click to show/hide)

The Deep Red Drake snaps at Soff'a in the darkness. Its razor teeth punching several holes in the tall human's leg.

(click to show/hide)

Soff'as blade glows in a cold light and he slashes out at the creatures neck and the wound it rends is rimed in ice.

(click to show/hide)

The other drake, snarling and thrashing it sinks it's teeth into Gamesh's torso and shakes its head back and forth briefly before the Dragonborn can escape, bleeding profusely.

(click to show/hide)

Atanos calls upon his divine given powers with a whispered word of reverence and Gamesh is covered in a healing glow that closes some of the worst of his wounds. Then the Elf draws back on his bow again and lets fly as he moves around a rubble pile. The arrow pierces the drakes skull between the eyes and it collapses with a thud tot he ground

"Not if I get to it first." Theo says as he joins Dunor's side already a breeze surrounds the Halfling and his last few steps toward the drake a rumbling thunder can be heard until the small sorcerer jumps and lands behind the drake with a loud thunder clap that flattens the drake to the ground. It does not return to its clawed feet.

Even though his remarks indicated otherwise, Atanos takes the dwarf's suggestion of searching to heart and begins looking for any stashed goods the creatures may have hoarded. After a about ten minutes of looking he finds something other than what he was hoping for. "Guy's come look at these." brushing away dirt on a covered pile in a far corner of the room. Revealing two large brown eggs.

Søffå moves with the torch toward the door. Upon opening it the torch light floods into the next room. The room has it's own dim light within it. Originating from a circle etched on the stone floor, which surrounds an old woman. Looking up at Søffå, her muffled voice croaks feebly, "Get me out of here!" as if the sound was hampered by some semi permeable barrier was trying to keep the words contained. "Look here, I found something... err someone infact."

Closing his eyes and concentrating on perceiving the magical energies flowing around Soff'a attempts to answer Dunor's question. I cannot tell if the circle is magical in nature or not." the swordmage finally says a moment later admitting defeat. Turning to Dalanth, "You do have a point, you and I have heard the same stories then."

Andronsus follows the group into the entry of the room. Seeing the woman in the circle, "Argh, leave that crone where she be. Yer witchery finally landed ye in trouble Zerriksa?"

Ignoring the dwarf, "It took them long enough to send someone after us. Get me out, this damp room is making my bones ache."

"Dalanath and Atanos, do you make out any traps between us and the circle?" Soff'a asks.

"You would leave an old woman to her own devices? Some rescuers you turned out to be. If they're paying you to come her for us, then it's too much." the woman's muffled voice complains yet again.

"Leaving her here then will spare us her complaints, and she is where they expect her to be. You all can return for her later if you wish, after we have had a bit more revenge on these goblin scum." Dalanath chimes in.

Atanos nods in agreement to the assessment but Soff'a shakes his head, "We should not leave any that are imperiled. Even if we could find a way to remove her from the circle, if we left these folk on their own in the wilds to return they would surely perish. Remember what we lost Everyn to on our journey to this place?"

Angered, Dalanath turns on Soff'a "You forget those we lost to goblin's blades just a short two nights ago. I care not for these people my brother died defending, I am here for one purpose."

Dunor was hesitant to take a side. Both had valid points.

"I do not ask this lightly. We came here for a purpose, but that purpose has grown, and to a dangerous degree. We can not leave any innocent people here, but if we are to delve deeper and confront more dangers, it would put them right in harm's  way. I don't want to save people only to get them killed because the goblins see them as easy targets."

"Bah, them greedy bastards be raiding the Hall?" Adronsus blurts.  Soff'a nods in confirmation. "Well then ye be needing him if the gobo scum took anything. He be knowin' more than anyone about the relics kept in the hall."

A spray of blood and a final cry as the remaining goblin in the entry chamber falls to the floor. Dunor ending its burning misery after it had been tossed into one of the braziers moving across the floor. New spatters of  blood cover the ones from just a few short days before where the group upon returning to this entry chamber to explore what was beyond the left door encountered a large group of goblinoids returning to their ruin home.

The confrontation was deadly, outnumbered the chances of survival slim. Most of the group were eventually cut down, sacrificing themselves so that Thespias and Dunor could escape with the two prisoners that had been freed. Haggard and harried most of the journey back, the remaining two returned Zerriksa and Andronsus to Loudwater.

Saddened but determined to complete the task of recovering the missing townsfolk and relics, Theo and Dunor recruited other heroes from the attacks days before, returning to the ruins that now serve as the final resting place of their former companions.

Holding a hand up to the rest of the group, Dunor spoke in a hushed tone. His face remained set in a neutral yet serious visage, though his one good eye seemed tinged in sadness and rage both. The other was hidden behind a simple black eyepatch, hastily cobbled together much like the rest of his current equipment.

In a hushed tone, he says, "Alright, we must be cautious as we head further in. If they had more guards up here, chances are they've filled back in elsewhere. Tanthalus, Galadren, we could use your keen senses to determine if anything lies in ambush past the doorway. We... we hadn't explored that direction, so it seems as good a path as any, unless there are any objections."

Dunor carefully makes his way toward the door to his left; whether he was avoiding the lower level due to his haunting encounter from a few days prior, or if it was truly a tactical decision, no one could be sure.

Standing over the corpse of one goblin that has a bolt lodged through one eye, Galadren reloads his crossbow with surprisingly awkward movements.
In truth, the elf was still getting used to the contraption although he was finding it to be a most effective weapon.

"On it."

The elf whispers in reply to Dunor's request, slipping over to the nearby doorway after he finally manages to get another bolt loaded.  The elf tilts his head this way and that, listening carefully once he is at the doorway.

Shandien follows silently toward the east entrance.

"What do you hear?" he asks the others in a low rumble, standing sideways behind Tanthalus, facing northward to allow himself vision of the north and east doors.

Backing ever so slightly away from the door, Galadren whispers to the group clustered around him.

"Bad guys.  Six of 'em."

Galadren pantomimes kicking the door open and firing his crossbow, and then returns to his perch by the doorway, planning to remain hidden while the first wave of his companions crash through the door, and then ambush anyone on the other side that turns to focus on them.

Dunor nods, a smile spreading across his face. His depth perception should have been shot, but somehow it doesn't slow him down as he leans back, then kicks into the door with all of his force.

The door bursts inward with a tremendous smash. The ruined portal revealing a short hallway with a bend to the right a few paces in. The arguing issues forth from around the corner for only a short second after the calamity of the door coming off its hinges and ceases, the occupants of the area beyond the corner taken aback at the sound.

Dunor barrels down the hallway with furious abandon, despite the phantom reminder that charging into battle is exactly what did not work last time. He shrugs off the feeling, and bursts into the doorway.

"Hello, boys. Long time, no see."

A battle-crazed grin opens up onto the man's face.

Galadren is only a step behind Dunor as the man crashes through the doorway and races down the hallway beyond towards the voices.
Nearing the corner, Galadren reflexively tucks into a shoulder roll, just in case their enemies were better prepared than expected.
As he comes back up onto his feet in the section of hallway beyond the corner, the elf's eyes rapidly scan the assembled cluster of goblinoids (I'm assuming they're goblinoids).

Not seeing any obvious soft targets amongst the bunch, Galadren brings his crossbow up to his shoulder and takes aim at the nearest one.
For a moment, the elf freezes as his mind probes back through his memory, trying to recall something pithy to say.
He knew that in his past life, he had known how to speak in the goblin tongue - the better to insult them - and like other parts of his memory, language was a frustrating blank spot.  His mind manages to find one scrap though, a single word.

"Bozzvek!"

Galadren shouts as he lets the crossbow bolt towards his target.  He had no idea what he had just shouted - it could be a dire insult in goblin or their word for "chicken" for all he knew!  He just hoped it sounded fierce as his bolt streaked towards his off-balance target.

Those rounding the corner quickly still catch that the room is littered with bedrolls and disgarded items along the walls. A pack of Hobgoblins stand in the ceneter of the room, looking dumbfounded toward the crashing sound.

"Akorthaar!", one of the hobgoblins shout as the crossbow bolt swishes passed and sinks into the shield of another of the creatures. The attack seems to shake them out of their initial shock of the entry.

Thespias hurries along as fast as his shorter legs can carry him to keep pace with his larger companions. His hair begins to stand on end as static build and anger flashes in his eyes like that of a storm, "So much for the surprise approach.", and he throws himself into casting his first spell.

Shandien surges past the group at a stride, leaping past the Humans to cover the warlock. You all clearly make out your foes. Most are in ragged leather armor, patched in many places, their jagged swords have seen better days but will still inflict grievous wounds and each of these hobgoblins carries a shield that can easily overlap against a similar shield. Two of the group stand out in their chainmail armor. One starts the head of his flail swinging in arcs about his shield. The other totes a longspear but prepares to grab one of the few javelins from an oversized quiver on his back.

"Nuunnaan kac o druuc rhaakluugaan daan agaan oc duuc or an!" the flail wielder orders in a gruff voice, the other scramble to comply.

Dunor whirls around a pile of loose belongings on the floor, then darts in at the group. One end of his blade merely jabs into the air in front of the face of one of the Hobgoblins, while he brings the other end into a slash against another adjacent foe.

Gort dodges back from Dunor's stabs but Nes takes Dunor's other blade square in the chest as he follows the canny fighter in. The hobgoblin looks down as the blade slides from his chest and collapses to the stone.

Rkan is engulfed suddenly by a volley of flame from Tanthalus and collapses writhing on the floor in agony.

The Halfling lies into a rage, and with a scream completes his spell sending a gust of wind that quickly forms a small funnel cloud around Dunor and buffets the nearby enemies with it's power. Gort is thrown from his feet, while the other scramble to remain standing covering themselves well with their shields.

Shandien runs in an arc along the eastern wall, knowingly staying out of his enemies' reach. As he approaches the goblinoids' right flank, Shandien leaps forth and swings his longsword wide, now shimmering golden, engulfing the stricken in ethereal gold wisps of light that rises to form golden sigils above their heads. For the hobgoblin, a larger sigil appears.

Muttering obscenities under his breath in elvish against the sights on his crossbow, Galadren works the levers and winches of his weapon to ready another bolt.  This time the elf's movements are practiced and confident, and it almost looks like he knows what he's doing!  Raising the weapon, Galadren peers at his available targets, and then fires at the hobgoblin in the center of the formation.  As the bolt goes, flicks of ghostly light waft off of the bolt in mid-flight, like a swarm of fireflies rising after sunset.  As the bolt nears its target, the ghostly lights swoop towards the clustered hobgoblins, growing much brighter before winking out of existence, dazzling them.

"Huh.  Well that's new."

The bolt from Galadren's crossbow glances off Zguk's shield protecting Txeg from the missile, the deflected but slices past Bmazk's arm drawing a line of blood.

Zguk pays for protecting his friend with his life, as he is suddenly bathed in a searing beam of starlight that appears to have arced down through the ceiling. Zguk screams at the nightmarish visions Tulugaq's curse imposes as he crumples under the burning radiance, falling silent.

Shadien's magic fails to gain a hold on Txeg, but the larger sigil hangs in the air above Bmazk. He growls at it turning his spear toward the swordmage, poking at the rune to try to make it dissipate.

Dunor takes the opportunity to strike down at his prone opponent, taking advantage of having the upper-hand.  For a brief moment, Dunor sees a man crouching over the Hobgoblin, pointing out where the armor doesn't quite overlap. The northerner's blade drives into that spot, and upon removing the blade, has the other end trained upon his foe should he try to respond in kind.

Wounded, but feeling confident, Dunor moves around the Hobgoblin, weapon ready to strike.

Gort staggers to his feet and lobs a great swing at the tall warrior in front of him. Dunor intercepts the chain with on blade and strikes out with the other.

(click to show/hide)

A burst of lightning blasts past the pair of hobgoblins and slams into the ceiling.

Gort catches the eye of Tulugaq as the warlock stalks closer. Fearful visions of otherworldly scenes cloud his mind at the glimpses of the far realm are shown through the warlock's curses. Then the brief moment of suffering ends for Gort when a beam of starlight burns a hole through his chest.
"Gort! Ec Rharar!"

Shandien sticks closely to the spear-wielding hobgoblin. He brings his longsword down on Bmazk, but the blade swoops down before reaching its target, seemingly striking the air in front of the goblinoid. A moment later, a shock wave of sound erupts about Bmazk.

Seeing the twin arrows come out of the doorways into his unsuspecting friends, Galadren realizes that he didn't see the attackers.
Simultaneously, he realizes that the attackers didn't see him either - he was still back in the hallway when they fired, and the doors hadn't been open when he took his volley of crossbow bolts.

A cunning smile starting to spread over his face, Galadren approaches the mouth of the hallway, eyes affixed on the western door.  He levels his crossbow at the closed doors.  And then he waits.

Bmazk reels from Dunor's attack. Blood gushing from the grievous wound in his abdomen.

The western door stands closed as Galadren waits patiently for it to open.

Gom slips his crossbow back through the north door taking a shot at Shandien's side but the bolt goes wide sinking in the stone near Galadren's head.

Focused on his target, Galadren doesn't even flinch as the goblin's arrow shatters against the stonework by his head.
He continues sighting down the length of his weapon, waiting . . .

Beyond the hole Tulugaq wrought in the door, Galadren sees nothing but blackness beyond. Nothing moves that his keen vision can pick up. Either the goblin was killed by the warlocks attack, it moved off, or it is still hiding behind the intact half of the double doors.

(click to show/hide)

Shandien takes up a position against the northern set of doors, back to them with his sword poised and his other hand positioned on the door behind him to open his side if needed. Nodding to Dunor and then the other side of the doorway. Hoping the silent communication is understood.

Noting that most of his allies had the western door covered, Dunor continued his whirling assault. Taking Shandien's cue as a go-ahead, He rushed the door opposite the Genasi, hoping to take anyone on the other side by surprise.

As Dunor hits his door and smashes inward sending the goblin behind it flying backward, Shandien throws his door wide and releases the energy of his spell throw his blade in a burst of arcane energy. Most of the hall beyond is dark except for where the light of the brazier pierces the gloom slightly.

The heavy door coming off its hinges soaks up most of the bursts arcane force and the goblin is unscathed by Shandien's attack.

Those closest to the door hear the subtle sound of a hand crossbow fired in the darkness and Dunor' sudden grunt as he is struck by the small quarrel from the unseen assailant down the hall. "HehEheHEhe!" a goblin laughs and you hear little feet flap down the darkened hall and "1, 2..., uh 4..5 ummmm 8, 6, whoa."

Dunor takes a gamble on chasing after the runaway goblin. He leaps over the open pit, then charges at his foe, trying to shove it into the next pit with a broad-side swing of his weapon!

Kon is shouldered as he reaches for the rope. Toppling into the pit the goblin reacts quickly twisting his body to land enough of his torso on the edge to keep from falling in. His position is a precarious one now that Dunor stands over him poised to strike.

The cleric begins to swing across but the slips holding the rope and fall into the pit. Slamming with a dull thud into a mound of soil and fungi some casting the area below in a phosphorescent glow that to the elf's eyes is as clear as daylight. From his prone position on the mound he can make out a number of piles of architectural debris on which different mushrooms grow in the damp room.

Galadren can hear the sounds of fighting in the hallway to the north, and with the lack of a horde of goblins crashing through the west doors to kill them all his impatience finally gets the better of him.  Moving swiftly up behind Shandien, the elf leans around his companion and levels his crossbow at the remaining goblin all the way down the hall.

"Pardon me." 

He says to Shandien, before sending the bolt streaking towards the goblin.

Thespias wings across the span, glancing downwards to see Tanthalus laying on his back down in the phosphorescent glow if chamber of mushrooms. The halfling barely lands on the edge and nearly falling backwards into the hole in the floor.

Galadren's bolt dissolves into motes of light that swarm around the goblin. Kon swats most of the away before they disperse.

Kon barrels forward into Dunor hoping to catch the big warrior by surprise in the darkness and guessing where he is still standing. The goblin bounces off the warrior at the attempt and scampers backward and goes quiet in the darkness.

Grumbling to himself, Galadren races back the way the group had come, eventually reaching the doors that connect this area with the entry room.
Seeking to set up the same trick that the goblins had used, Galadren pulls part of the door shut, hiding behind it while he peers out and waits for the goblin to arrive, breathing heavily from his haste.

Galadren moves quickly and gets behind the door to the entry chamber and he hears a slight sound of stone slowly grinding together from the other side.

Tulugaq steps into the darkened hallway and comes to the edge of the first pit. He clearly sees the prone form of Shandien below in a pile of mushrooms and dirt. Of the goblins there is no sign ahead in the darkness.

Without the capacity to see, Dunor retrieves a sunrod and strikes it, illuminating the hallway. He hoped that the sounds he heard were his allies running to the entry way to catch up to the other goblin Shandien shouted about.

He then looks in the direction his prey escaped to... and steps to the square he just vacated. Dropping the sunrod, Dunor regrips his weapon with his off-hand, and glares down at the creature in challenge as he whips the weapon up at him.

Kon tries to fall away from the swords second blade but is too slow in the sudden flare of light and stumbles back with another wound dripping blood. "Ahhh! Help me you fools!" he shouts out grabbing the small sword belted to his hip and slashes out at Dunor with it. The feeble attack is turned aside easily and as the goblin begins to back-peddle  Dunor's other blade comes around to skewer the goblin through the gut and lifts the creature from the floor. The goblin slides down the blade, legs jerking in spasms. The blade rips free and Kon collapses to the stone in a heap unmoving.

In the corner behind the goblin, Dunor sees Dalanath leaning against the wall casually, nodding in approval of the big warrior's lethality.

Gom turns at the top of the stairs with the door open at the sound of the shout from the swordmage below and see the open door framing Tanthalus' form. He levels his tiny crossbow and fires. the bolt whizzes in on the unsuspecting cleric and slams into the Elf. Then runs off again across the entry chamber and flings the door open revealing Galadren cutting off the route back.

Lips splitting into a grin as the goblin nearly crashes through the door right into him, Galadren gives him a greeting nod as he slides back and raises his crossbow.

"Bozzvek."

Galadren repeats as he takes aim and fires at his quarry, already a new bolt in his hand to slide into place as soon as the first one leaves.

Theo surges ahead stepping over the skewered goblin. The room around the corner has flickering light in it, as if by torch or lantern. Two stone sarcophagus are seen at the lights edge and shadows are thrown everywhere on the walls. Putting his back to the corner looking for more goblins as lightning dances across his small hands, Mister Munroe is not disappointed when a hobgoblin pops up from behind one large coffin leveling a crossbow and fires, the bolt scratching a line of blood. The sorcerer's response is swift but the solid sarcophagus in front of the attacker has a large chunk blasted from it much to the shock of the one behind it.

The Halfling ignores the Dunor's request to fall back and rushes forward instead to the safety of cover behind the nearest coffin. As he stops for a breather and looks left, he sees three more hobgoblin leering down at him swords already posed to strike those rounding the corner and two more raise from behind the sarcophagus.

With his longer legs, the elf archer is easily able to keep up with the goblin as it attempts to flee.

"Where do you think *you're* going?"

Galadren asked as he shot the goblin in the back again, sliding up behind it against just as he finishes sliding a new bolt into place in his crossbow.

Tulugaq clears the second span in the floor with ease and stops around the corner to see a number of hobgoblins descending upon Thespias.

Shandien races up the stairs and through the open door to the entry chamber and sees no sign of the goblin.

Dunor mutters a curse under his breath.

"What part of fall back don't you understand, Theo?!"

The warrior grunts, then rolls around the corner with his weapon at the ready. Building momentum, Dunor bounces off the opposite wall of the corridor, then attempts to use that momentum to run up and along the other wall and kick off it, landing behind the Hobgoblins attacking his friend. He then slashes at them in a menacing flourish.

The hobgoblins watch in awe as Dunor goes over and between them. Bun has enough of his wits about him to jump as the first blade comes in to take his legs, Gsurb is not so loucky, taking Dunor's second blade in the chest.

Gom spins from being shot at and fires his tiny crossbow at Galadren while stepping back. Grinning stupidly by the solid sound the small quarrel makes when it strikes.

(click to show/hide)

There is a faint sound above the din of combat of a powerful bow being drawn back and then an arrow flies from the darkness, streaks between combatants and slams into Tulugaq.

(click to show/hide)

From the wrought iron stairs in the northern corner comes a hiss and the sound of booted feet as a green drake and three more hobgoblins start clammering down the stairs to join the melee.

Knerug unleashes a bolt at Dunor but it shanks hopelessly wide and strikes near Zos' head sinking into the stone. Reloading his crossbow the hobgoblin shuffles back into the darkness.

(click to show/hide)

Sgark lets his bolt fly off at Tulugaq, the warlock's shifting infernal darkness surrounding him masks his true form and the missile sails just past.

Zos steps around the corner and swings his sword across at the Halfling, stinging him with his pitted blade.

"Theo, looks like there's company coming down the stairs. Can you move this storm to greet them?" Dunor's words are muffled by the whirling winds surrounding him, but he hopes the Halfling can hear him regardless. He turns to the Hobgoblin still waiting behind the sarcophagus, saying, "As for you..."

The warrior pushes through the winds and strides up to the Hobgoblin, slashing away at his foe. His weapon is poised to attack in riposte should the Hobgoblin try to escape or attack his allies.

Sgark deflects the incoming attacks with his crossbow.

The sound of a longbow being drawn back can barely be heard again and another arrow flies into the light. Dunor deftly turns the arrow aside.

The drake lands at the bottom of the stairs and seeing only a lone warrior in the middle of the room, charges onward to sink its razor teeth into the human invader.

Sun is close behind the drake having lost control of its leash in order to ready his flail and shield. He charges in on the tail of the drake and with Donor already tied up with several combatants, Sun presses his advantage on the tall warrior.

Bakutn lands on the floor in stride and leaps onto the coffin making his way toward the human.

A nearly out of breath cleric races passed Galadren on Shandien's heels for the northern door headed back toward the comrades they had been separated from.

The raging storm moves as Thespias struggles to maintain control of its power. The spells energy envelopes several of the newest arriving opponents.

Knerug fires another bolt concealed in the darkness. The projectile skims just over the ducking Dunor.

"I'll swing around to the side - you guys can try to jump over those pits if you like."

Galadren grunts as he moves up to the battered door leading off to the west and pushing them open, and then advancing through them down the hallway, seeking to follow the path the goblin first took after it joined the fight.

Galadren races off through the nearby door and out of sight of Shandian and Tanthalus.

Tulugaq steps forward whispering a silent curse and catching the eye of Xsadum, opening his mind to the perverse imagery the warlock has witnessed through the stars portents of the far realm. The warlock unleashes a furious dark blast of arcane power at the drake though, scorching its scales.

Shandien leaps the first pit in the floor with ease and strides to the next while re-drawing his blade.

Xsadum is impaled by the vicious attack but Sgark is more wary and fens the blades away with his shield.

Res draws the longbow back with a creaking strain and releases another arrow from the darkness. It streaks past Sgark and skims the coffin toward Dunor.

The drake and the two hobgoblins enveloped by the thunderous spell are buffeted with Bakutn being thrown violently against the crypt wall with a sickening crack. The drake emerges with Sun and crosses his path in pursuit of the tall human snapping its dagger filled maw at Dunor while Sun's flail keeps the warrior on his toes.

The presence of the mirror, while convenient by allowing him to see, troubled Galadren nonetheless.
Paintings didn't shed light like that, and anything that was magical in this place was likely to be dangerous.
Galadren therefore gave the thing a wide berth, giving it only the barest of glances in the event that it was enchanted somehow, as he slide around the periphery of the room to the rightmost door.
Throwing it open, the elf runs out into the hallway and finds himself in between the two pits, as he had hoped.

"Hey guys!  I found a way around the first pit!"

The elf says, that fact self-evident as the elf moves on towards the second.

Tulugaq slides up next to the drake, showed in shadow. Looking into the drakes eyes as he approaches, filling its mind with unimaginable horrors. The warlock quickly begins casting his spell but the drake is too close and snaps his jaws around at the human before he can fully get the spell off. The cold starlight lances down but but only scorches the stone on the floor.

"Tulugaq, move back! Attacking from a distance is your greatest defense-- are you looking for an early death?! And Theo, is there anything you can do to illuminate their darkness-enshrouded archer?"

Dunor doesn't like calling out plans like this, and he doesn't like the position they are in. However, the Warlock seemed insistent on getting himself killed, so he couldn't retreat to the shadows to gather his bearings. Despite the insistent pointing and gestures to save himself that he sees out of the corner of his eye from his fallen former friend, Dunor can't abandon an ally. Instead, he slides in next to Tulugaq, signalling to him to get away, while the warrior furrows his brow and tries to come up with a plan to survive the onslaught.

Stepping away from the combatants allows Dunor to catch his breath for a moment.

A bow being drawn back can be heard but no arrow is immediately forthcoming from the hobgoblin bowman in the darkness.

You're all a scourge, I'll scour the land of you all
The volatile blue-white energies seems to almost bleed out of Theo's eyes, his dreadlocks flowing with wrath of the storm as he directs his arcane onslaught.

As the storm envelopes Thepias' enemies, the hobgoblin ducks behind his shield just in time for the sizzling lighting to rebound off his protection and into the ceiling.

Knerug emerges from the darkness briefly sword and shield in hand and everyone can hear him clank along the wall near the doors.

Seeing how Shandien has a rope already and the sounds of battle are continuing on the far side of the pit - which doesn't seem to have any way to avoid it - Galadren decides to risk the jump.

"Tally ho!"

Galadren yells as he rushes towards the pit, pushing off and leaping for the far side . . .

Galadren leaps the pit and passes Shandien and the climbing Tanthalus. Coming to the corner he lets his crossbow bolt fly at the flail wielding hobgoblin locked in combat with Dunor. Motes of biting light sting the goblinoid repeatedly and many welts form on  its skin.

Just as Galadren leans out to fire, Res lets fly his arrow from the darkness.

Tulugaq unleashes perverse energy from the far realm at the Drake stripping away its defenses and leaving it bare to the horrid unfathomable nature of the imagery.

Dunor wheezes with fatigue, but pushes through it as he whirls his weapon in an attempt to also push his attackers. He then jumps back for the cover of the sarcophagus, landing in front of Theo.

Dunors savage burst of powerful strikes send both combatants flying backward deeper into the storm which then sweeps them up and tosses them around. They land in a heap. Both do not move again.

The lightning blasts a hole through the hodgoblin's shield, arm, and chest. Then he is thrown aside by the powerful winds of the magic controlled by Thespias. The lighning then twists and arcs over to Res who is jolted slightly.

"Cheeky . . . b-b-astard . . ."

Galadren grunts as blood dribbles out of his mouth, the result of taking a longbow arrow directly to the chest despite the cover of the wall.
Reloading his crossbow as fast as he is able, the wounded elf leans out and takes a shot at the hobgoblin before ducking back out of its line of sight completely.
