Lost Mines, Lost Labs, and Lost Hope (RobJFalcon's Campaign)

"You abandoned us while we were talking to Nezznar. We just got confused as to witch direction you abandoned us in. When you weren't in the tavern we came back." We could all be there now if you didn't decide to take a nap in a mine."

We head out making sure to pick up the locked chest on our way.

I told you where I was going to be, and I didn't have the safety of numbers to trek 3 hours to town, alone fully tapped out.  We would all be there now if ya noticed I wasn't with you!

Az Emberi continues towards the box and the exit.

Fjolnir shakes the rack hes in "Up an attem!" laughing at the sleeping bard. "He's staying here as research for the mine for the time being. Now that its cleared out, and Gundren has it to run, he needs a hand in scraping in our 10 per cent."   He pats Hymir on the leg- "Stay frosty, Sir- send a letter, or a bird or courier, or wizard shite; if anything at all smells off. We might have made a tenuous peace with Cragmaw- but they know that the mine was going to be open for business one way or another, and if there's trouble, we'll come runnin."

Does anyone else taste acid?  In the air?  Like you were just hit by a lightning spell?  Shows a disgusted face.  I need a bath.

You head back out of the mine... again, and head back to Phandalin... again. After a couple hours, you reach the rock under which the skull is trapped. 8 It's still undisturbed.

Az Emberi's ears perk up around this time, though, as he hears something from behind the crest of a nearby hill in the direction you're going. A low tone voice speaking in a language you don't recognize.

What are you doing?

Stealth 19 Perception 20  .... is what I"m doing

I whisper "cover"

Fjolnir drops low and waits for Az to spot something, craning his neck to hear the speaking.

Dusty pulls up next to Fjolnir and gets low.

Oh shit, Inspiration hits Dirk, he breaks out his lute. EH EH EH!  All you scrupples gotsta go!  3 6 9, damn girl fine. Move it so you can sock it to me one more time!  Geet low..

( to the wall) To the sweat drop down and fall, down these females crawl!  Down Skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet... down skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet......

Once Dirk decides to throw stealth out the window... to the wall... you all hear a loud series of pounding footsteps as three large ogres crest the hill and bear down on you. "Haha ha ha, tasties!"

Az Emberi, Fjolnir, and Dustfinger get a surprise round since they successfully hid behind a rock. Dirk does not get a surprise round. Hell, Absinthe gets one, too. Even if he rolls a 1 on stealth these idiots can't see him. Everyone but Dirk gets a surprise round!

Dustfinger begins to weave his fingers through the air, muttering his incantation. Gossamer strands of violet energy begin to connect and collect between his hands. He rises and casts it through the air, its delicate edges spreading far apart like a giant spiderweb made of light. It drifts down onto the backside of the middle ogre, the sides of it trying to clutch at the shoulders of each other ogre.

Faerie Fire! Dex vs 14 to leave the rave party early.

Absinthe let's loose his robe and bounds over the rock towards the closest Ogre.

Az Emberi's Ice shard sticks in the fat belly of the middle ogre, (dubbed Middy) who stares at it, unaware of its origin. As he reaches to pluck it out, it explodes. He and the left ogre, (dubbed Lefty) are not fast enough to dodge the shards, Righty (the one on the right) does though.

All three are encased in Dustfinger's beautiful light show, and are now sparkly.

Absinthe bounds across the battlefield to bash Middy with Lightbringer, and connects with that and a punch to the throat.

Fjolnir is up for his surprise attack, then everyone is up again!
