Matthias

Matthias steps up past Griz and skip, and then turns back to Griz. Passing a hand over him several times, Matthias says "Praesidium ex Malificus". There is a soft white glow, which quickly fades. While doing this, Matthias keeps the corners of the wall between him and the kobolds, so the cannot interupt his spellcasting.
As he finishes the spell, he asks quickly asks Griz "Is it better to be offensive or defensive?"

Default Re: War of the Kobolds [IC]

Lufred's attack lands soundly in the door covering the left kobold. He pulls it back, regarding with frightened interest that it was right at the level of his forehead. He sets the door behind him, which is enough to break the frail door off its last hinge, and readies his spear to take a poke at anyone coming his way.

Three kobolds in the back of the room unleash their bolts at the party. One of them takes a 5-foot-step east and shoots at Matthias, while the other two succumb to their hatred for gnomes and aim for Griz.

Spoiler


The bolt aimed for Matthias lands painfully in his neck, the sound it makes on contact masked only by the delighted squeal of the shooter. Another bolt glances off Grizwold's armor, and another lands at the back of the hallway, joining the one that landed there earlier.

Spoiler


It is now GRIZWOLD (and Skip)'s turn.

Griz makes a ten foot move, and attacks the kobold to his right. Skip Moves up to guard griz, but there is a person in his way, so he holds till he can move in and attack when he is able. Due to cover he takes no attack from either kobold as he moves through the range of their nasty looking swords.

Default Re: War of the Kobolds [IC]

Just as Grizwold exits the hallway, the kobold on the left grins evily and lets loose with a stab, hoping to hit some gnomish flesh.

Spoiler


The spear lands directly in the middle of Grizwold's back. It's only then that the kobold finds that his spear has been facing the wrong direction this whole time. Grizwold feels a light tap as the embarrassed kobold sheepishly flips his spear around.

The other kobold, the action moving too fast for him to keep up, recieves a mighty slash up his chest as Grizwold's longsword cuts right through his little wooden spear. He falls to the ground as splinters fly all about him.

Spoiler


It is now KERRICK's turn.

"Hey, Lufred. Check this out!" whispers Kerrick to his companion. Kerrick then says a few unfamiliar syllables which are hard to make out, waving his hands over his skin and face, and then his skin begins to fade into scales, he grows shorter, and his hair melts into his new, scaly skin. Kerrick has become a Kobold. After this, he steps in front of Lufred, and jumps up and down, shouting to the kobolds in Draconic.

Default Re: War of the Kobolds [IC]

Spoiler


Most of the kobolds begin murumuring excitedly and begin changing their attack plan. One kobold decides to take a shot at the evil gnome who's taken their kin, and proceeds to throw down his weapon, draw his spear and move up. Two others decide not to risk harming their friend and simply switch to their spear and move up.

The frontmost kobold manages to reach Grizwold and takes a stab at him with the vigour that one could only harness upon meeting their most hated enemy.

Spoiler


The crossbow bolt merely deflects off the floor and skids off into a corner, and the clumsy spear attack is easily dodged by Grizwold. You can all see hints of frustration in the kobolds' eyes, mostly from the fact that a GNOME is avoiding them so easily.

It is now back to MATTHIAS' turn.

Matthias spiked chain, shining in the candlelight, lashes out and easily grabs the kobold. With a quick pull, the small reptilian has his feet yanked out from under him, and before he can even hit the ground, Matthias' spiked chain comes back for the finishing blow, cutting him right in the middle. The spear flies off behind him, crashing into the wall and falling to the floor, simultaneously with the deceased kobold.

It is now LUFRED's turn.

Spoiler


As Lufred moves up, and past the front line of kobolds, both decide to try and stab the distracted half-elf.

Spoiler


The west kobold's spear glances off Lufred's armor and scrapes against the wall, while the other's spear veers in another direction entirely.

Lufred's response comes in an arrow which punctures the shoulder of the kobold nearest him. The short little creature cries out, dropping his spear involuntarily, and passes out.

The three kobolds in the back of the room appear nervous, and not particularily liking the way this battle is going. They hang back, unleashing their crossbow bolts at Griz and Lufred, and a couple take 5-foot steps towards the doors on either side. The spear-armed kobold just to the west of the doorway (the one with the broken door behind him) stands his ground, stabbing at Griz persistently. THIS time with his spear the right way.

Spoiler


Lufred suffers a glancing blow to his leg, while Grizwold recieves a direct hit to the chest. The last bolt lands in the wall behind Lufred, and the spear aimed at Grizwold bounces off his armor.

Spoiler


It is now GRIZWOLD's turn.

Grizwold takes a short step forward in to the fray, skip runs in to guard his master from the horrid kobold attacks. Wisely, Griz stabs at the kobold ahead of him, letting skip gnaw on the backstabbey one.

Grizwold's longsword easily slices through the kobold, knocking him down while still clutching his spear. Seeing the creature fall, he turns to take a stab at the kobold behind him with his short sword, but it is not necessary. Skip is already clamping down on the kobold's arm and tearing him to shreds. The kobold's mangled corpse falls to the floor, in similar shape to the nearby door.

It is now KERRICK's turn.

Default Re: War of the Kobolds [IC]

The remaining kobolds heave a few relieved sighs and start speaking in Draconic to the 'newly-freed kobold', and being to run out of the room through the available doors, clutching their light crossbows.

One runs through the door on the left, while the other two run through the door on the right, bursting through easily.

You see no more of the one that exits left. However, on the other side of the room, as soon as the door is flung open and the kobolds rush in, a wall of darkness covers the opening. A second later, both kobolds emerge, screaming their heads off. A black tentacle immediately protrudes from the darkness, wrapping around the neck of an unfortunate frightened kobold, and pulls him back in, stifling the screams. The darkness then spreads outwards, covering at least 10 feet of the room outwards from the door.

It is now MATTHIAS' turn.

Kerrick
"Kobold" Kerrick hops backwards back through the doorway, as though he had been dragged backwards, kicking it closed behind him. He shouts something in a high pitched Draconic squeal, then says in his normal voice, in Gnome, another shouted string of words, adressing Griz by name and winking at him. He then beckons the party in, his *Five* fingers waggling, then he makes a motion like loading a crossbow bolt, and wags his head towards the door. He then mouths the words "Let's Go!" in common.

The last kobold of the room finally emerges from the darkness, miraculously unharmed. Unfortunately for him, a quick flick from Matthias' chain rectifies that; recieving a deep cut, the creature collapses to the floor and keeps moving forward by momentum, sliding for another 5 feet, and kicking up a lot of dust.

Spoiler


After the kobold's noisy screaming ends, nothing more can be heard from the darkness... all is silent from that direction. From the other direction, of course, is a certain disguised gnome yapping in two different languages. Three, if you count the sign language.

It is now MATTHIAS' turn.

As the tension dies down some and the sound of Draconic screaming dies down (which is NOT a pleasant sound) the details of the room start to come out...

From the ceiling and all four walls, you see roots piercing the dirt. A few hang down low enough for a human to reach up and grab them, and an especially large one seeps into the darkness and out of sight. Also adorning the walls are small straight markings, along with dried-up splotches of kobold blood, most likely left by the soldiers who raided this den already. Near the bottom right corner of the room, a small, crudely-made stone table is present, containing little more than bits of gravel.

The most prominent feature of the room lies on the large flat rock in the middle of the room of which all the kobolds were crowding around just moments before. A map, 3 feet in diameter, sits with various shapes drawn in different colours. It is held down by two primitive crayons, each of a seperate colour, with a third one broken on the ground.

It is now LUFRED's turn.
