TT: "Be warned, friends. A bird told me that this cave is full nasty orcs, kobolds and other creatures that are constantly fighting over who gets to call it home. The bats leave the cave at night though which make it a bit safer to travel into them."
TT places one hand on Rhaucred and casts guidance in order to enhance his abilities.
As the party heads down the left passage way they are notice that someone has scrawled "Death is the only exit" on the wet wall, and a thumping sound can be heard in the north-west corner of the room. Following the sounds sound Rhaucred heads north and finds that the walls are covered with sword cuts, and a pierced breastplate lies in the north-west corner of the passage way. The thumping was the sounds of water dripping on the pierced breastplate. After looking around the party has determined that this is a dead end.
Heading back to the entrance with Nedrick in the lead, he hears something around the corner. Keenly listening he can hear the murmur of kobolds. They seem to be heading east taking the right passage. There is at least 4 of them, but that is all he can discern at the moment.
Sensing that it is time for battle, TT uses her ability to shape water to animate a portion of liquid from the nearby pool. As the water takes the form of a pair of bats, she sends it past the kobolds in an attempt to distract them.
The kobolds are successfully distracted. You can hear them talking in common saying "Bats! Bats! They are back. Watch out for their guano!" and they start picking up rocks throwing them at the water bats.
OOC: Due to TT's successful distraction, you guys get an advantage round on the 4 kobolds. Please post your attacks if you want.
As Mort enters the room he says “Untouched by this decrypted necromancer...fascinat----” and trips on a rock and says "Ow what was that?" and a familiar voice in his head replies "You are a stupid one. That was a rock."
While on the ground, Mort looks around the room and notices there are two exits, one to the north and one to the east. The east exit has a large rock that has two kobolds laying on the ground near it. Several square slashes and cuts are seen on the rock where to kobolds lay.
"It appears we have received a gift my companions. Allow me to grant one an eternal rest. If the other rises, knock it unconscious. I would like to question one of these creatures to learn more of what awaits us in this cave."
Nedrick will attempt to tip toe up to the laying goblins. He wants to strike the one furthest away from the group to prevent the other from running if it is awakened. Nedrick sets his lantern down where it still provides light but will not become brighter as he approaches.
Stealth: 14
Nedrick will place his rapier right above the Kobolds eye and drive his rapier home with a thrust.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nedrick moves over stealthily to the kobolds and his focus and stealth lead him into prime position to strike. As he cuts through the first kobold, he notices that something is off. He was already dead. He immediately looks to the second one and notices that it is also dead. Their bodies cleaved in half. Nedrick pauses for a second and hears a "click click click" sound coming from right behind the rock.

"As you command Lord Rhaucred." Nedrick says with a genuine smile as he progresses to the left.
