Battle for Comstalia

“ughhh,i grow weary of this heat....”

morts eyes begin to tear up as he clutches his nose in disgust

“what a foul oder.  i think our friend is beginning to cook.”

"Should we press on with what little strength we have regained before they return?"

If we decide to leave before these kobolds return they may become angry that we have stolen their treasures and try to pursue us. Let us remain in the shelter of this cave and try to take the little fiends by surprise.

Nedrick goes behind the tent with the dead Kobold and decapitates the creature.  He will then wait behind the tent with the head.

The party prepares for the Kobolds to return. Hunding, TT and Mort hide in the tent while Nedrick waits outside. Rhaucred hides to the side of the tent and looks onward to see the kobolds. Nothing happens for a while but eventually they do come back. They party sees the kobolds approach, and they do not seem to notice their presence yet.

Now that we have rested Rhaucred will cast invisibility on himself before battle. and Attempt to get in a position to cast shatter on the 3 to the north.

Stealth 12

Shatter Damage 11

Rhaucred on first seeing the Kobolds whispers to the others "Here they come!" and moves quietly out to next to the rock pillar at I,8 and begins to cast shatter. They kobolds do not seem to notices Rhaucred and keep advancing slowly.

Rhaucred casts shatter and a sudden loud ringing noise, echoes through the cave. The blast is so loud it causes everyone's ears to ring every so slightly.

Cons saving throws:

Kobold 3 5

Kobold 4 10

Kobold 5 8

Kobold 3, 4 and 5 are surprised by Rhaucred's shatter cast and take fatal damage! As they fall to the ground, Rhaucred can hear the echos of the spell still rattling through the cave but now in a slightly lower pitch.

DM Rolls:

OOC: Make sure you update your character sheet to show that you have used your spells.

At the ringing sound of the shatter.  Nedrick will light his lantern and put it on full illumination. A hooded lantern casts bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet

Nedrick moves to F,9 with his lantern in one hand and the severed Kobold head in the other holding it out in front of him.

TT exits the tent and casts Frostbite on Kobold 1. 5

(Exits the tent roaring) Fear not beasts the death god will soon welcome you in his loving embrace (raging and reckless on nearest kobold)

Hunding lets out a roar and moves to G,3. He raises his mighty axe and slices kobold 2 in half.

All the kobolds in sight are defeated. Hunding can see a bit further down the path to the north but due to the rock is unable to get true vision. Please award 25 xp.

Overall Map

The passage way to the North has not been explored yet, and the party came from the south.

ZzzzZzzZzz....

morts eyes dart open, he definitely wasnt sleeping on the job...

”good work friends!  we sure showed them!” 

*hiccup*

TT suggests that the party explore further north in the cave. 

"Well that was a bit messy!"  Nedrick says as he drops the Kobold head and draws his Rapier.

"Well done!  That noisy spell seemed to really do them in, Rhaucred!"

"TT, I believe you are correct.  I will be our guiding light."

Nedrick leaves the lantern on full illumination and begins walking further into the cave.  He tries more with his ears than his eyes to listen for movement due to the dark.

Perception:  23

mort grabs is share of gold and the loot from chest3 (a feathered talisman, weird pieces of sticks, a pewter chalice and some trinkets) before running off with his companions deeper into the cave.

”interesting trinkets...” *hiccup*

arcana check: 18

Mort looks at the items and agrees with Rhaucred that they are not magical. Mort does inquire that the feathered talisman would look nice if he could wear it as a hat.

mort throughly inspects the loot before dropping the sticks and pewter chalice.  he fashions the talisman as a hat and pockets the trinkets.

mort whistles “the ladies wont be able to resist you...not that they ever could”

With Mort's newly adorned hat, the group continues on into the cave with Nedrick in the lead with the lantern. 

As they move passed the bodies of the dead kobolds, they see that jagged rocks adorn the ceiling of the north and east walls, and a broken spear lies in the north-east corner. They also are able to see that the cave continues towards the south-west. Rounding the corner, they see that the passage way to the south-west has its floor is covered with teeth, and a ruined chain shirt lies in the north-west corner of the passage way.

The group continues down the southern passage until they reach a large room with three visible exits. One to the north, one to the north-west and one to the south.
