Looking around, Thoric doesn't see a Kobold he can charge, so he goes over to the one he just killed and searches it.

ohhh... Then he gets to attack first. If you had a melee weapon you'd get an aoo but you don't so.


(round 3)
attack - (1d20+4)[9]
damage - (1d4)[3]

The kobold fires at Markus point blank but misses horribly and then pulls out a tiny knife trying to defend itself.


All Thoric seems to find is a small crossbow which barely fits into his hand and seems to have been poorly made and a small knife fashioned out of stone. Either shale or flint, the knife is sharp and seviceable but more suitable for mundane tasks than for fighting.

Taking the crossbow and any bolts there maybe, then stuffing the knife in his boot, Thoric looks around and not seeing any kobolds I will load the crossbow. I will use my move action to load the crossbow, and then ready an action to shoot if any kobolds appear.

[Timaoh]

Thoric you can't ready an action until next round as you already used your standard action to pick everything up.

Still need a spot check from Rhoxius.

SPOT
Thoric - 17
Rhoxius - ?
Markus - 13
Fethen - 18


There are a few kobolds left that can be chased down if you guys want. Other than that you could end combat if you wanted too.

I need a decision to either end combat or posts for round 4.

Rhoxius walks back towards the others, spear still in hand, keeping his eyes open for any more kobolds. I got a couple of those pests up that way, pointing to where he came from, and there's another passageway up there too. One of 'em ran off before I could stick him, but there's time for that later. He looks around and sees the other kobolds lying on the ground and says, Looks like ya faired well yourselves. Let's get going and see if we can't get to the king. If not, at least we can take down some of these pests as we go. We might as well chase after some of them who ran away, unless anyone has a better idea.

As Thoric finishes loading his hand cross bow, he says well they seem easy enough to kill, however I never like leaving an enemy behind me, however they did run away from us. As he continues talking he searches some of the other corpses. If time is of the essence, then we should find this king and sort this sitiation out quickly.

I am reluctant to press further on. Like Thoric said, it means leaving the enemy behind us. Although we can take them easily enough, they know these tunnels better than we do, and could potentially ambush us at an unfavorable turn.

Markus reloads his crossbow as he speaks.

Do you know anything about these tunnels that might prevent that from happening, Rhoxius? Or do you know what direction we should be headed to find their king?

[Greyen]

Fethen

Still wearily looking around with green glow dripping from his hands, he reloads his crossbow saying We have 2 options, we push onward to their king, or we get lost trying to chase down each little scaly bugger in here. These tunnels will swirl us around faster than you know it. Let us push on and see what we can do about this king of theirs.

[Timaoh]

As you all stand around discussing tactics and possible strategies a faint echo can be heard down the tunnels...

Rhoxius

From far away down the tunnels perhaps a few hundred feet comes the sounds of a large gong or metal plate being struck, hard. The sound continues for several moments as you try to pinpoint where it is coming from... the south. The alarm has been raised and your pressence in these tunnels will no longer go unnoticed you are certain. The others with you seem not to have noticed or paid the sound any attention as they talk and search the fallen kobolds.

Thoric

Spoiler

On the other kobolds you search you find 2 more knives identical to the one you have. You also find 17 more bolts total and a small crossbow for each corpse. They have little in the way of information, armour, or anything else that might be useable or valuable to you. Make a spot check, or knowledge nature/ dungeoneering check please.

[Solaphti]

Rhoxius

Rhoxius thinks for a moment before answering Markus. I know no more of these tunnels than you, as it has never before been necessary to travel down them. I've no idea where the king might be found but... He pauses and strains his neck towards the distant gong searching for its direction and uncomfortable with its meaning. ...well we better hurry up because those pests know we're here and they probably won't be friendly. Stick together and watch behind. As far as I know, there's a lot of them pests in here and we have to go find the king.

He looks around unsure of where to start but you can tell he is anxious to be moving. Rhoxius takes a few steps towards the west path. We might as well move deeper into the heart of this maze, the king won't be this close to our home. He will start whichever path the others wish to take but would suggest to head south or west.

[Thalmor]

Thoric

As Thoric finishes pocketing the extra bolts from the corpses, you see him look very intently at wall of the cave. You here him say Hmm, there is something here His attention focuses on a section of the cave to the south and left.

A large noise from where Thoric stood moments before catches your attention. As you turn you can see a large section of the wall sliding free...
ThoricFoundaTrapandisabouttodieifhefailsthisreflexsave - (1d20+4)[8]

Debris and dust quickly fill the corridor making it hard to see and breathe as large sections of the wall slide free and Thoric is pinned in place by the stone. The rocks continue to fall and eventually settle in place leaving alot of dust and a small opening at the top of a large mound of rock that was once the tunnel Thoric stood in. Thoric may have survived the initial impact of the rockslide but the weight and pressure of the rock will surely kill him if he is left under the crushing weight for too long.

Markus

Markus rushes to the pile of rubble and begins shoving stones aside.

Quickly! We must get him out! Help me!

Removing stones isn't what Markus was trained for...

If there's room left to help remove the rubble from atop Thoric, Rhoxius will work as hard as he can. Otherwise he will help try to move the extra stone away so there is more room to work.

[Solaphti]

Rhoxius

You doing alright? he casually asks Thoric as we pull him up out of the rubble. This has wasted some time and they know we're so here so we best be moving. Thoric, watch your step a little more; another one of those nasties and you'll be done for.

Rhoxius urges everyone to continue on whichever path seems the easy to get through now. Before they leave, he will look down the hallways to make sure he doesn't see any more kobolds.

[Thalmor]

Thoric

Yeah, I be fine. Says as he stumbles out of the hole. This place seems to be pretty trecherous, Rushing through here maybe not be a good idea, unless we have some way of being able to identify where these traps are.

[Timaoh]

The path to the East is blocked by ruble now, if you want to go that way you will need to dig for about 30 minutes.

south, north-west, or west are your options.

I'll have a new map once you decide.

[Thalmor]

Thoric

Looking around, Thoric says Well if we are to continue I guess South would be our best option, However I'm suspecting there are a lot more of these traps. If either of yea have a way that would make finding these easier it would be greatly appreciated.

[cintain]

Markus

Now more than ever am I worried about an ambush, says Markus while reloading his crossbow. These tunnels are so labyrinthine, we could be walking around in circles forever... I will follow your lead, Thoric. You're the one amongst us who best can navigate tunnels, even mite-tunnels such as these.

Markus looks over his shoulder at Rhoxius.

Find anything in that chamber there?

[Solaphti]

Rhoxius

Just let me take a look around here, he says in reply to Markus. As soon as I do, I'll follow you Thoric. Yeh have done well so far.

Rhoxius takes a walk around the room that is near him looking for anything that might be useful down in the tunnels.

Search - (1d20)[7]

[Thalmor]

Alright let get going, no point wasting our time here. Thoric says as je starts heading south, paying very close attention to the walls, the ceiling and the floor, hoping that there aren't any more traps.

[Timaoh]

Rhoxius finds another room in back of the one he searches piled with goods and suplies looted from his people and scavenged from who-knows-where-else in the caverns. A quick survey of the contents of the cave finds 12 crates, 2 chests, and a weapons rack with 18 small crossbows piled disorderly their munitions in bundles on the floor nearby.

[Solaphti]

Rhoxius

Hold up guys. We should at least see if there's anything useful in some of these crates and chests. Better for us to have supplies than them. It'll take a minute but at it may make things easier in the long run. he says to those back in the hallway. He'll take his time and open the crates and chests to see if there is anything inside.

[Timaoh]

The crates are all secure and will need to be broken, it seems the kobolds were able to move them but not open them before you arrived. The chests are locked. One is wooden and has several metal bands helping to reinforce it as well as a large and untarnished pad-lock on the front of it. The second chest is smaller and made of a dull metal with a lock built directly into it's front face. The wooden chest has a curved top while the metal chest sits squat and box-like. They are stored among the crates and all of the chests and crates line the north wall in a dissorderly fashion, which suggests they were placed quickly.

[Greyen]

Fethen

Fethen looks at the locks and says I can take care of these, it'll be slow though. I can melt them off with my acid, if anyone has a better way let me know.

If uninterupted Fethen will sit and begin to very carefully use Acidic Splatter to melt the locks off. He'll prop the lock up so that it is horizontal and shoot straight down at it. Making sure to not hit the chest or any of the supplies.

[cintain]

Markus

Markus follows the others to the chamber discovered by Rhoxius, staying at the entrance with crossbow loaded.

Whatever you guys are going to do, do it quickly, and make sure you save some for me, of whatever you find in those crates, he says, not clear whether he's joking or not.

Spoiler

Ready an action to fire at the first clearly hostile creature that comes down the corridor.

[Thalmor]

Thoric

Moving into the roomI can break the lock off with me Ax if no one has any objections, might be quicker that your acid. If there are no objections Thoric will try to break the locks with his ax.
