Another Dragon at Icespire Peak - IC Thread

Xarroth's firebolt hits the wererat, causing little damage.

Lia's flaming sphere impact the two newly arrived guards, who were not expecting that kind of reception. The frost ray hits the nearest wererat, slowing him down.

Initiative order
20 Xarroth (13)
15 Lia
12 Lothlién (17)
  9 Three Wererats (26) (19) (9)

Lothlién goes next.

Rhok will take a shot at the nearest Wererat to himself

Crossbow Attack:  Attack: 18 Damage: 9 

Colossus Slayer damage if its below max HP:  8 

Lothlién will try to take down the beast that looks to be in worst condition, creating a flaming dart and throwing it

Firebolt Attack: 22; damage: 9

Lothlién's magical attack finishes off the rabid wererat that went for reinforcements and came back.

The two guards retaliate with their crossbows, by the look on their faces, it seems that they are thinking about running away.
Attack: 12 Damage: 5 against Lia.
Attack: 20 Damage: 7 against Xarroth.

Rhok's silver tipped bolt finishes off one of the guards. The last one looks in despair at the bodies in the room.

Don-Jon smiles as he launches another stone at the last wererat.
Attack: 21 Damage: 4

The stone seems ineffective against the enemy.

Initiative order
20 Xarroth (20)
15 Lia
12 Lothlién (17)
  9 One Wererat (9)
  9 Rhok (20)
  2 Don-Jon Raskin (19)

Xarroth goes next.

Seeing the stone being ineffective, Xarroth tries something a little stronger and calls into the magic in veins yet again sending an orb that flashes with deathly cold as it sails to the last wererat... ((He'll move if he needs to make Line of Sight))

Chromatic Orb (1st Level)
Ranged Spell Attack: 15 Damage: 15 (cold)

Xarroth's orb hits the wererat, freezing his fur.

Lia goes next.

Lia sends her flaming sphere in to strike the last wererat...

DC 14 dex for half, or take 7 fire.

She then sends another lance of cold...

Attack: 6 Damage: 1 

If the enemy still stands, Lothlién will use a fire bolt yet again

Attack: 20; damage: 9

Between Lia and Lothlién's attacks, the last wererat falls down. Don-Jon takes a quick look around the room "I don't see any other of those rat in here."

OOC: we are out of initiative order.

Rhok will look to see if any of his crossbow bolts are salvageable, and if any hand crossbows are in working order

"Everyone ok? That was quite the group" he states

Rhok is able to find two of the five bolts he fired in good enough condition to be reused. Checking the wererat corpses, he finds three hand crossbows that could be salvaged with a little extra care and 17 bolts.

"Just a couple scratches, nothing serious. How about you?" replies Don-Jon as he cleans his daggers and puts them back in their sheaths.

"I'm ok, but if we plan to fight another group like that, I'd like to spend sometime to put myself back together and bandage some wounds" Lothlién answers

"I'll send Sabastian to scout some more, but, hopefully, that was the lot of them."  Lia says as she glances around as well.  She pushes some of her white hair behind an ear as she does so.  Then she'll start checking the bodies for anything of interest.

Xarroth leans on a wall, licks of flames exuding as he catches his breath through snarls, "Foul creatures..." He looks to the others and re-groups and nodding to Lia's idea.

"I am quite spent. A moment would be much appreciated." He tends to the serious tears in his robes...

Rhok, will offer one of the three hand crossbows to his companions, and pocket the other two to see if he can get them in working order

"My spells are all spent, so I'm unable to heal unless we rest" Rhok says while wiping some of his blood on the back of his gloved hand

Sabastian flies around the mines, he does not see any wererats or giant rats as far as he can fly. There are a few closed doors that he can't open, but the owl doesn't hear anything moving behind them.

As Xarroth mends his clothes, you go around the room checking the corpses. Three of them have pouches with rounded pebbles, all are wering common clothes. Zeleen's body has a crude map of the area. You can see the mine, the Triboar trail going northwest until Conyberry and their old hiding place at the shrine near Conyberry.

Examining the room, Lia notices two sacks hidden under debris. One sack contains ten fist-sized chunks of gold ore "those should fetch decent coin at the trading post" remarks Don-Jon. The other holds 82 sp, 450 cp, and a pair of decorated googles with dark tinted glasses.

OOC: same map as before the battle. You are in a large room with four exits:
- a tunnel going north that leads to the western entrance and a tunnel you have not explored. Sabastian has checked this tunnel before and found a stabbed to death miner.
- a tunnel on the south west corner that you have not explored. Sabastian has checked this tunnel before.
- a door on the north east side that you have not opened.
- a tunnel going west, from where you entered the fight, leading to some unexplored sections and the miner's hiding room.

“Well it does appear that was all of them.”  Lia says as Sabastian reports in.  “There ae a couple doors that should be checked, since Sabastian cannot go through them, but he did not see any more rat-men around.”

"well, if you think it's safe, let's get going. That tunnel to the southwest is the closest thing we haven't explored, right?" Lothlién walks toward said tunnel, waiting for the others

Despite feeling so weathered, Xarroth's eyes light at the sound of coinage. A hereditary need running its course...

"We are... to divide by the four of us?" His eyes flick to Don-Jon, "Or f-five."
