Start of #KHS buffer: Sun Aug 17 21:13:09 2008 [18:39:40] [We now pick up just as you finish resting, after fighting through a trap-filled room.] [18:40:37] [As a quick review, the room contains stone coffins, suits of armor with darts that fly from them, and an altar you haven't really examined yet. There are more stairs leading down, but you haven't gone down them just yet.] [18:40:39] [Session Start] [18:42:37] * Steddha gives the altar a momentary glance. "... should check it out, at least." [18:43:07] * Fillis checks the altar as mentioned and after giving it a good look-through, he says, "Hmm. Seems to be dedicated to Tiamat. And an offering." [18:43:49] * The offering in question is a small bag, containing 60 gold coins. [18:45:09] Tiamat. Pffft. [18:48:35] * Fillis shrugs. "Well, I'm not greedy enough to upset any deities, regardless of who they are. Anyways, I don't see any traps, but I'd say we should just leave it be." [18:49:29] * Ahzgrit smirks. "Tempted... butcyher prolly right." [18:50:01] * Dresdin grabs it anyway. "Tiamat's not here right now." [18:52:24] * Fillis shrugs. "Riiiight. Anyways, shall we keep going?" [18:53:22] * Steddha simply nods, while the other dwarf looks like he suddenly wishes he hadn't listened to his conscience, eyeing Dresdin. [18:59:21] * Fillis frowns a bit, but shakes his head and just lets it be. [19:01:22] * Steddha moves ahead a little, keeping as quiet as she can. "Mn." [19:01:25] * Amroth doesn't say anything. [19:03:32] * Through the stairs, Steddha can see a wide room ahead of her. She can hear the sounds of some kobolds talking in Draconic. [19:04:19] Do you hear anything? [19:06:04] * Before her, Steeddha seesn aother room. It looks liek it used to be a tomb, but it appears to have been transofrmed into some kind of game room. Four stone coffins lie here, with a sludge-filled pit between them. On the other side of the room< Steddha sees a pair of double doors. On eitehr side of the door are two raised platforms, both 10 feet above the floor. A kobold stands on each platform. [19:07:32] * Steddha makes a 'shhhh' sound, then signals 'two' with two fingers. [19:07:36] * At the moment, they seem to be distracted. A stone smeared in the sludge is tied to a rope and attached to the ceiling. One kobold hurls the stone, which swings out and smashes into a pile of animal skulls stacked on top of one of the coffins. Some of the animal skulls stick to the rock. Some are simply knocked across the room. [19:09:54] * Fillis glances curiously at those in front of him. [19:16:03] * Amroth quietly inches forward to get a better look at the room. [19:17:37] * Steddha scowls... and then finally decides to move in, quietly. Ahzgrit, sensing a coming fight, moves into position as well, fiddling with his quiver. * Retrieving #KHS modes... [19:21:26] * Demota changes topic to '[22] Slinger 2, [17] Amroth, [12] Slinger 1 [10] Fillis, [5] Ahzgrit, [2] Steddha#' [19:23:13] * The kobolds cry out in alarm. One of them grabs his sling and loads a green jar into it, and hurls it at Steddha. The jar smashes into her and the green goop spills out, gluing her firmly to the ground. [19:23:38] [Amroth's turn] [19:26:44] * Amroth boldly steps forward and fires off a ray of light at his nearest target. As magnificent as it looks, nothing happens. The dice are obviously not in his favor right now. [19:27:32] * The kobolds arne't in his favor either, as the other kobold hurls a gluepot at him and lands a solid shot. The glue inhibits his movement. [19:27:38] [Fillis' turn] [19:30:12] * Fillis tries to follow up on Amroth's attack... but the follow-up was exactly like the attack. [19:31:09] [Ahzgrit's turn] [19:31:11] * "Haha, finally!" Ahz darts on ahead, moving beside a tomb before firing at the closest kobold he deems his quarry. [19:33:26] * The arrow flies and draws a considerable amount of red as it sinks in and punches through. Ahz's eyes twinkle with vicious delight. [19:33:31] [Steddha's turn] [19:36:51] * Steddha growls, tugging at the gunk even as she drops her warhammer to the side and snaps out her tossin' hammer for a quick lob at the closest kobold. The hammer misses, but she has its attention... and regains her freedom with a snap of gooey gunk. [19:38:18] * THe other kobold gets an idea. He grabs the swinging gooey stone, and swings it down at Steddha, However, she can easily dodge the rock. [19:38:22] [Amroth's turn] [19:40:05] * Amroth takes a breath and tries again. Another ray of light just like the last one fires out. A truly spectacular show of light as the kobold goes down. [19:40:49] * The glue around him dissolves. [19:41:02] [Fillis' turn] [19:41:11] * Demota changes topic to '[22] Slinger 2, [17] Amroth, [10] Fillis, [5] Ahzgrit, [2] Steddha#' [19:44:27] * Fillis charges up closer and unleashes a bolt of energy that stabs through the Kobold standing on the ledge. [19:44:53] * The kobold shrieks in pain. [19:48:33] * "Yer mum's a pile of dung!" A fresh arrow lashes out at the second kobold, who is chosen as his prey. The arrow lances out an eye, and lodges firmly in the kobold's skull. "An' stay dead!" [19:48:59] * The kobold does indeed stay dead. [19:49:02] [Steddha's turn] [19:50:22] * Steddha looks around a little, then tromps along, hairs still standing on the back of her neck. [19:51:48] * Amroth notices the double doors. "Don't suppose we could knock.." he says sarcastically [19:52:59] * Steddha knocks. With her hammer. And a fierce forward charge. [19:54:11] * The door is smashes off of its hinges, and the doors fly inward and clatter on the ground in pieces. Steddha sees two lizard-like creatures, about as big as the kobolds, but they loot tough and muscular. [19:54:27] * Demota changes topic to '[35] Drake 2, [21] Drake 1, [17] Amroth, [10] Fillis, [5] Ahzgrit, [2] Steddha#' [19:56:28] * One of the creatures roars and charges her with its horrifyingly toothy maw. It manages to close it around Steddha's leg. The other charges, but doesn't get as lucky. [19:56:32] [Amroth's turn] [19:57:07] * Steddha makes a face, and her eyes shoot open as her leg's mauled. [19:58:18] * The other drake roars in encouragement, causing the first to bite down harder. [20:00:09] * Amroth recites a healing prayer, focusing divine energies at Steddha. [20:08:12] * Amroth invokes a blast of light from his holy symbol, damaging both drakes. [20:08:53] * The drakes are seared with Bahamut's divine light and clench their eyes shut before its holy power. Steddha finds the glow encouraging, and she feels divine power enhancing her strength. [20:09:52] * Fillis tries to cover Amroth with a spell, but it seems that his juice isn't working. [20:10:25] [Ahzgrit's turn] [20:12:15] * THe drake next to Fillis lashes out ferociously in reaction to him lowering his guard, but his teeth crush nothing but an errant animal skull. [20:13:45] * Ahz makes his moves and lets an arrow fly. An arrow that misses. "Shite!" [20:15:00] * One of the drakes next to Steddha bites her painfully, and she loses consciousness. The other hisses and sinks its teeth into Fillis. [20:15:30] ( That did't happen [20:16:42] * Steddha aims to try and shift the drake away with her attack, but the shooting pain in her leg throws off her aim. "Damn it all!" [20:17:16] * Steddha nonetheless manages to try and center herself, teeth clenched as she breathes hard. "Gonna whallop you both..." [20:17:49] * One of the drakes next to Steddha bites her painfully, but she manages to keep her focus. The other hisses and tries to attack her, but can't get a good shot. [20:17:53] [Amroth's turn] [20:27:40] * Amroth shines a sacred flame from his holy symbol. The drake before him cowers before the light. [20:27:49] [Fillis' turn] [20:27:52] * Fillis grimaces as he realized his chance to get the other drake off Steddha has passed, so backs up and flings energy bolts at the beast at close range. [20:28:35] * Steddha is healed by Bahamut's divine power, and the warm glow fills her with confidence [20:29:08] * THe Drake reels from the blast, shrieking horribly. Blood flows from it openly, and it doesn't look healthy. [20:29:09] * Ahzgrit (a@wnpgmb0808w-ad04-93-165.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #KHS [20:29:32] [Ahzgrit's turn] [20:32:12] * Ahzgrit takes aim at the nearest drake, an odd light in his eyes. He fires an arrow, cackling. [20:34:14] * Ahzgrit grins savagely as his arrow pierces the drake's eye. "That's how it's done!" [20:34:30] [Steddha's turn] [20:34:57] * The drake simply stops moving. Gravity takes its course, and it falls to the ground without so much as a dying breath. [20:36:26] * Steddha snarls bloody murder, and levies a brutal downward smash at the drake rounding the corner, spitting in its eye for good measure. "Come and get me!" [20:37:12] * The Drake reels from the blow. It snaps its mouth at Steddha, but quick shield work kills its offense. [20:37:20] [Amroth's turn] [20:38:32] * Amroth focuses a ray of light at the drake. But his concentration is easily broken in the heat of battle and he misses. [20:38:47] [Fillis' turn] [20:39:24] * Fillis tries to act cool, but fails miserably. [20:39:41] [Ahzgrit's turn] [20:41:11] * Ahzgrit smirks, shifting his aim smoothly to the next drake. [20:42:20] Hah! Take that! What're you lot aiming at, anyway? [20:48:30] * Ahzgrit shoots the drake. [20:48:38] * Steddha takes the opportunity to try and drive the arrow in deeper. Her aim's true, and the added oomph seems to be enough to end it. "Damned thing." [20:49:00] [Combat over] [20:49:25] Wouldn't have thought they'd have something like these. [20:49:57] * Steddha spits on the drake's corpse, then looks her leg over. "Ghn... gonna need twice the usual brandy for that..." [20:50:08] * Fillis points to the drakes corpses while frowning. "Where'd they get them anyways?" [20:50:49] "And what were they guarding..." [20:50:58] * Ahzgrit nudges a drake with his foot. "All the better. Makes things more fun." [20:51:55] Gotta wonder 'bout that skin now. [20:53:07] * Fillis nudges Steddha. "How's your wounds holding up?" [20:53:50] I'll live. [20:54:45] Well, let's hope they've left some prizes for us. [20:54:55] * During your short rest, you find, scattered in a small pile on one of the platforms, a hundred gold pieces, a ruby, and two garnets. [20:54:55] * Ahzgrit scours the room for loot! [20:55:03] * Ahzgrit's eyes catch them quickly. [20:56:03] And this is what makes it all worth it! [20:56:28] * The gold glints invitingly. [20:57:01] Guess Tiamat won't be getting this. [20:57:43] Heh. [20:58:41] Pft, who cares about that. [20:58:55] The important thing is, it's ours now. [20:59:16] Right, right. [21:05:15] Well, what're you layabouts waiting for? Let's get a move on! [21:05:50] * Steddha rolls her eyes. "Well, at least someone's still in the proper spirit." [21:11:51] Having the proper spirit is very important when you go into somewhere that's dank and dark.
