Tyranny of Dragons

The final kobold buckles under Novot's hammer. 

Hatchling is up, followed by Arliden. You just have the southern pit to deal with.

Hatchling will harass one of the drakes with help

Arliden slowly heads over to the southern pit so try and see what exactly is down there.

[A quick glance only gives you the same feeling that something is off that Rex had. A Wisdom (Perception) check at the cost of an action might reveal more.]

With nothing really "better" to do, Arliden will take a few seconds to try and examine whatever it was in the pit.

[Perception: 17]

As Arliden scans the pit trying to figure out what seems "off" about it, he realizes that one of the stalactites hanging from the ceiling appears to have one eye that is looking right at him. After looking at it for a couple seconds, it blinks. 

[I do not like where this is going!]

The drakes continue to scrabble at the gate, trying to make it out of the pit. 

The stalactite blinks again before a mouth opens above its eye. "You're not the ones who usually feed me. What's going on?"

After saying this, a couple tendrils seem to grow out of it.

Fjordix, it's your turn.

[FYI, the stalactite looks like this, but upside down.]

"Fuuuuccckkkkk........guys we have a sentient um...stalactite over here."

"Is it going to prevent us from getting to the eggs?" Fjordix said as he watched the last Kobold fall, he began making his way back to the gate.

OOC: Is there a way I can attack the drakes without opening the gate? I have a 10 ft reach weapon (a glaive)

[The pit is 15 feet deep, and the drakes are at the base of the steps at least 5 feet away from the wall. Even with a 10 ft. reach weapon, they would be out of range for you. The only way you could reach them would be to attack through the cage at the bottom of the steps, but they would be considered to have 3/4 cover at that point.]

OOC: Do I have enough movement remaining to throw the gate open and attack the Drakes? Or could I throw a handaxe through the gate to hit one? If not then I will simply make my way to the gate and ready and action to attack if someone opens the gate giving me the option.

[You could throw a handaxe, but the drakes would have 3/4 cover in that scenario as well. In regards to opening the lock, you have enough movement to do so, but you would have to use your action to grab the key, unlock the gate, and push it open.]

"Someone get the gate!" Fjordix tells the others as he readies his attack against the drakes once the gate has been opened.

OOC: Thanks for suffering my questions, I will simply let someone else open the gate and ready and action to attack the drakes once they do so.

[No problem. It's hard to visualize everything without a map and minis/tokens.]

Rex, you're up.

Rex will pick up one of the dead kobolds and football toss it toward the stalagmite, “Here, plenty more where that came from, this place is under new management!”

[Are you attempting to hit the creature with the kobold, or just throw the kobold in its general direction? Either way, make a Strength (Athletics) check to see how long the kobold is in the air.]

Basically trying to have it catch the food. As if one was throwing meat to a lion, Athletics: 13!

The monstrosity catches it and says, "Fresh meat? What an unusual treat. It really is my lucky day."

“That it is, my friend! Remember who got you hooked up with it!”
