Nodrus: (the warrior is still there actually, the urds scooped up the other kobolds, so it's gonna take an opportunity attack at you as you run away.) Spear Attack: 23 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
As Nodrus runs past, the spear wielding Kobold just cuts against his arm as he brushes past, but with Nodrus' rage still pumping through him, he only takes 2 damage.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Awesome editing on the attack part. I'm guessing the sorcerer is not retrievable and will post like that, correct?)

While the earth crushes down around him, Nean miraculously manages to remain on his feet, as if the weariness left by the poison spray somehow made him stumble to the right side. Now that his duel is over, the panic kicks in and makes Neans thoughts go on full speed. He knows hes in the cave much deeper than anyone else and immediatly starts running back to the entrance, while keeping an eye out for any path or whole secure enough to find shelter. While running, he concentrates on his back and a translucent hand appears out of thin air, gripping one of his two Potions of Healing, but not yet drinking or opening it.
Ospos stands up once again, brushing rubble and dust from his magnificent outfit with chagrin. Seeing the cavern appear to be collapsing, he rushes forward and retrieves his dagger, then casts Healing Word on Nodrus.
Nean: Searching for the body of the sorcerer, you see it pinned underneath a large rock. You could possibly wrench it out, but that might take more time than this cavern has. Looking around, you see your companions in the entrance tunnel which is now much narrower, though there it seems to be still a viable passage into the previous room.
Ospos: Emerging from the rocky grasp of the cave in, you see Nodrus and Nean rushing towards your direction. You also notice an opening at the top of the previously barricaded wall on the right. The shaking must have knocked loose some of the boulders and wedged in wooden boards, and you could climb the corpse of the dragon and the surrounding stones to exit through it. Your head swings around behind you, and the tunnel seems to be holding for the moment, but another big tremor could completely collapse the passage, crushing anything inside.
If theres anything like a key or something worthwhile, Nean would attempt to grab it, but he definitely wouldnt risk his head for it and will keep running towards the group afterwards anyway.
Nean: You spy the staff it held, which would be easy to snatch before running, but it would take a bit to search for anything else.
Liafial: Climbing and squeezing your way through the tunnel, you manage to make your way through, joining Drilwho was at the rear of the group.
Ospos: You attempt to scramble up the rocks, but your diminutive form is unable to make much progress, and you remain at the entrance of the cavern.
Bram: You easily slip through the tunnel, making it to the other side along with Liafial and Dril.
Nodrus, Clermar, Nean and Ospos: As the party rushes to retreat, those of you that remain in the room witness the left wall of the cavern explode; massive chunks of rock flying like shrapnel. A massive, undulating worm bursts into the room, emitting a deafening screech as it arcs up and then down, smashing through the very center of the room. More rocks are flung in every direction as it burrows deeper into the ground. All of you give me DC 10 Dex Saves to avoid the flying rocks, take 5 damage on a fail
Reversing his momentum, Dril attempts to retreat as the chamber crumbles, falling. A landslide of rock and dirt slams into Dril, pushing him further up the tunnel the party came. Finding his feet, he runs back up the tunnel.
Ospos: It takes you a few moments, but you finally manage to pull yourself up and through the crevices that remain in the tunnel
Dril: The first to make it back into the workroom, you see that the destruction has reached this area as well. Tables, tools and treasure lay thrown and scattered about, some sliding into chasms which now cut across the space. The passage leading back out of the mine the way that you came is completely collapsed, seemingly blocking any further retreat.
Ospos finally catches up to the others, vainly removing dust off his outfit. Shaken, he says to the others, "Guys, those kobolds were dropping rocks to draw the attention of a big arse worm. It burst into the other chamber just as I managed to get out. I'm going to go on a limb and say that is what the danger behind these doors was, or is. Either way, we have no choice but to go there now."
While the others compose themselves, Ospos is going to scoop up jewels and stuff his pockets as full as he can.
Nean keeps darting through the storm of rubble flying at him at full speed, not stopping before he finally reaches the workshop with the rest of the group. Once arrived, he collapses to the floor, heavily gasping for air. While hes lying on the ground trying to catch his breath, he directs the mystic hand that is still flying next to him to open up the flask.
Potion of Healing: 4 (now on 14/21 HP)
After the brief moment of revitalization, he straightens up and thoroughly investigates the staff he took off the kobold.
Ospos takes stock of the situation and suggests, "Well, we're all pretty roughed up. Nean just used a healing potion and I could heal some of us, but I would be too exhausted to do so later. As the tunnel behind us has collapsed and the door ahead of us is closed, I propose we take a short rest to collect ourselves before proceeding."
Liafial: Looking towards the massive doors, you see that they have been sundered by the commotion. They both lie crooked, partially shaken off their hinges, and a sliver of space now runs between them, wide enough to squeeze through.
Ospos: You begin piling in gems and trinkets indiscriminately. You're not sure what they're worth as you'd need to actually take time to look at them.
Nean: The staff is made of pure crystal, lavender in color. It looks almost as if it grew in this shape as opposed to being carved. You're not quite familiar with the workings of magical objects, but you can infer that this is some kind of arcane focus, as it seemed that the kobolds had been channeling its magic through this.
As the last of your party runs out of the tunnel, you get a brief glimpse of the worm's large, mauve body as it slams up through the floor in the tunnel, now burrowing upwards through the roof and effectively destroying the passage.
Nean turns to Ospos, still resting on the floor. "First good thing i've heard in a while now. I don't know about you guys, but i feel like resting more than just a little, at least if you want me to do anything against that worm. I guess the next thing for us to do will be to scout out the lair if that thing. Something tells me we're going to find the mirror there..."

Seeing the other way out above the dragon, Ospos curses as he sees Liafial head down the less than secure tunnel. "Hurry, back the way we came!"

Bram waits for Nean and Nodrus waving them to harry,
"HURRY! I don't think we have long before this way is closed off for good!"
When Nean or Nodrus gets to the tunnel, or if there is another tremor, Bram will dash through to the previous room with everyone else.
