Start of #kht buffer: Tue Jun 24 20:50:59 2008 [17:03:10] [Last time, the newly assembled band of adventurers took on a task: Recover a cured green dragon hide, stolen from a caravan by a band of kobolds that had becoming increasingly aggressive lately, plaguing the King's Road around the city of Fallcrest in the Nentir Vale.] [17:03:48] [They learned that there was a bounty for the kobolds, and a reward for whoever brought proof that the kobold hideout, an abandoned manor now known as Kobold Hall, had been cleared out] [17:05:22] [Upon entering Kobold Hall, they discovered a trap door leading underground, where they were immediately attacked by small reptilean humanoids. The party managed to dispatch them, though one managed to run past the portcullis into the next room. Fortunately, Jisar was small enough to slip through and open the portculis.] [17:05:27] [Session Start] [17:05:44] [Pramesh's Turn] [17:06:04] are we still in rounds? [17:06:25] (sorry wrong window) [17:11:03] * Pramesh rushes down the hall and heads down the stairway [17:15:54] * As Pramesh leaves the stairs, he sees a huge room. Four vandalized and abused stone coffins lie here, and each side of the walls holds six niches, each side having one niche with a suit of armor. [17:16:40] * On the opposite side of the room, he sees the kobold that ran from the previous room, talking quickly with more kobolds in here in Draconic. They carry spears and stand in front of an altar. [17:16:55] [Crane's Turn] [17:17:53] * Crane clanks down the hallway as well, following Pramesh. [17:18:43] [Haukea's turn] [17:18:53] * Haukea follows behind Crane. [17:19:43] [Slinger's turn] [17:23:16] * The kobold screeches out "It'ssss them!". He reaches for his sling pouch, loads a bullet into it, and sends it hurling at Pramesh. [17:23:54] * The stone slams into him solidly. [17:24:29] [Shavozama's turn] [17:25:06] * Shavozama rushes to the front lines as quickly as possible. [17:25:52] "OUT OF THE WAY!" [17:26:24] * Shavozama hurls himself down the stairs, off to one side so as not to knock over his companions, lands with a skid and comes around the corner, holding his long, curved blade to the side. [17:28:01] * As Shavozama steps on a patch of the ground, it sinks into the ground slightly. There's a *tink* sound, but damned if he can figure out where it's coming from or what it is [17:28:16] * Shavozama stares down the kobolds. "FACE ME LIKE TRUE WARRIORS COWARDS!" [17:30:52] [Jisar's turn] [17:33:05] * Jisar leaps steathily behind the demolished coffin using the scraps of stone for cover [17:34:37] [Kobold Skirmisher 1] [17:35:40] * She looks at the group and shouts in Draconic. [17:36:34] "NONE OF YOU WEAKLINGS WILL LIVE!" [17:40:11] * The kobold moves forward and holds its spear up menacingly. [17:40:19] [Pramehs's turn] [17:46:14] * Pramesh dashes up to the nearest kobold. "You're mine!" He swings his blade in a wide arc, and the blow seems to cow the kobold, making it less sure of its position [17:46:57] [Kobold Skirmisher 3] [17:48:12] * The other kobold rushes in and brandishes its spear menacingly [17:48:31] [Crane's Turn] [17:49:49] * Crane steps out into the room, charging in and striking the same skirmisher as Pramesh, the attack giving Pramesh the opportunity to shift if he so chooses. [17:52:26] * As soon as Crane steps into position, the ground underneath his feet shifts. The visor of the suit of armor to the right of him flips open, and a dart flies at him and slips through his armor. The warforged living leather suddenly starts to go numb in that rea. [17:55:52] ( area) [17:57:05] * Crane is thrown off enough by being hit in the shoulder by the dart that he swings cluimsily and comes nowhere near connecting. [17:57:47] * Shavozama (Novaseaker@cpe-24-168-45-216.si.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:01:46] * Shavozama (Novaseaker@cpe-24-168-45-216.si.res.rr.com) has joined #kht [18:04:00] [Kobold Skirmisher 2 [18:05:48] * THe other kobold hisses, rushes up to Pramesh, and jabs his spear at him. The blow goes wide, and the creature quickly slips back, away from his reach [18:06:08] [Haukea's tur] [18:07:49] * Haukea steps up and points her wand at a kobold skirmisher. Bolts of energy fly out of the tip [18:08:06] * However, the missiles go wide [18:08:22] [Kobold Slinger] [18:09:48] * He loads another sling bullet into his sling, swings it around in the air a few spins, and hurls it at Pramesh. It hits him hard. [18:10:42] [Shavozama's turn] [18:18:51] * Shavozama moves past Crane and Pramesh, and swings his blade in a wide arc at both of the kobold's heads, but they're so short he misses completely. [18:18:58] "BAH!" [18:19:28] [Jisar's turn] [18:21:42] * Jisar lunges toward the inert armor hurling a shuriken toward the unknowing Kobold. [18:23:35] * Jisar shiriken toss is disturbed by Jisar's movement but he continues his movement into the small area and attempts to keep from the kolbold's vision [18:25:50] [Kobold Skirmisher 1] [18:26:29] * The kobold looks at Shavozama. Then it looks at Crane. Then it decides to try to hurt Pramesh. [18:27:04] * However, the jab goes wide. [18:27:20] [Pramesh's turn] [18:28:34] * Pramesh briefly concentrates, some of his wounds closing in a silvery glow, and then lashes out at the kobold again. "You'll regret that!" [18:29:33] * Pramesh 's slash makes the kobold reel, opening a long gash down its side [18:30:03] [Kobold Skirmisher 3's turn] [18:30:52] * The kobold runs around the coffin, near Crane, then pauses for a moment and darts carefully behind him, before trying to attack [18:31:22] * He misses [18:31:29] [Crane's turn] [18:32:28] * A dart flies out at Crane and hits him, continuing to immobilize him [18:40:36] * Crane grumbles about these darts, his feet unable to move, allowing him to focus on the movements of his arms, bearing down on the kobold with the thick blade of his halberd, cleaving it into two seperate halves. [18:44:55] [Kobold Skirmisher 2] [18:45:08] * It tries to spear Shavozama, but it fails to hit him. [18:45:33] * Strike that. It does hit him, but it's a glancing blow [18:45:37] "And you dare claim to be of draconic heritage!? All that did was make me mad!" [18:46:11] [Haukea's turn] [18:46:27] * Haukea points her want at the kobolds again and fires another burst of energy. It misses and hits the floor [18:46:34] [Kobold Slinger 2] [18:47:29] * The kobold hurls another rock, but it misses. [18:47:47] [Shavozama's turn] [18:51:06] * Shavozama lunges forward and a tornado spin, holding his blade low and wide, slicing into the slinger and coming around to cut the skirmisher as he finishes his spinning jump. [18:53:02] [Jisar's turn] [18:53:26] * Jisar hurls another shuriken toward the unknowing Kobold, it flashes in the light making it hard to percieve as it launches towards the lizard's throat. [18:58:32] * Jisar 's shiriken lodges into the creatures arm forcing it to whelp in pain. Jisar readies another shiriken [18:59:51] [Pramesh's turn] [19:00:50] * Pramesh turns and points at the skirmisher behind Crane. "On to your next life." He stabs it through the heart and pulls his blade out cleanly. [19:01:04] [Crane's turn] [19:04:40] * The kobold looks to Pramesh, confused. Then blood starts spraying out in a flood, and it falls on its back. [19:04:49] * Crane wades in before Skirmisher 2, chopping down with his halberd, granting Shavozama a bit of leeway for movement as he does. [19:12:17] [Kobold Skirmisher 2] [19:13:02] * The kobold looks panicked and tries to stab Ungyo and take him down [19:13:16] * Shavozama ducks to the side of the slinger, taunting in draconic more. "YOU WILL NOT FLEE THIS TIME!" [19:13:37] * But the blow is deflected by his armor [19:14:40] * Another dart flies at Crane, but it actually misses this time. He can feel feeling returning to his legs [19:15:18] [Haukea's turn] [19:15:43] * Haukea fires off another magic missile, but it misses for the third or fourth time in a row. [19:16:15] [Kobold Slinger [19:16:39] * The kobold takes a step back from Shavozama in fear, and tries to make a run for it [19:17:04] * Shavozama lashes out furiously. [19:17:15] "I SAID YOU WILL NOT RUN!" [19:18:20] * Shavozama stabs at it's leg, skewering it and halting it's movement. [19:18:37] "FACE ME LIKE A TRUE WARRIOR!" [19:20:21] * It manages to pull itself away from Shavozama, though it's hurt badly. It starts running. [19:22:02] * Shavozama (Novaseaker@cpe-24-168-45-216.si.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [19:23:10] * Shavozama (Novaseaker@cpe-24-168-45-216.si.res.rr.com) has joined #kht [19:23:47] [Shavozama's turn] [19:24:26] "IF YOU RUN YOUR DEATH WILL BE SLOW AND PAINFUL! Stand down and we may show mercy." [19:24:42] "Stop running, and you may live." [19:26:31] * It slows down a bit and comes to a stop. [19:26:34] [Pramesh's turn] [19:26:59] * Pramesh steps around the dead kobold in front of him and swings at the one next to Crane [19:27:19] [Jusar, I mean] [19:27:34] [Jisar] [19:27:40] * Jisar leaps into the next recess and hurls another shuriken toward the unknowing Kobold. His comrades instinctively dodge the projectile expecting it to hit it's intended target. [19:28:54] * The shuriken misses and clatters to the floor [19:28:59] [Pramesh's turn] [19:31:10] * Pramesh glares at the kobold and stabs at it, the kobold becoming feeble under the blow [19:32:53] [Crane's turn] [19:36:49] * Crane swings at the skirmisher, his attacks oppressive and distracting enough to allow pramesh free positioning. [19:42:03] * Pramesh moves somwhere [19:42:22] * Pramesh goes to the north, specifically [19:43:19] * The kobold thrusts its spear at Crane, and the spearhead lands HARD. It hisses with glee. [19:44:40] * Crane grunts [19:44:45] [Haukea's turn] [19:46:02] * Haukea raises her wand, and smacks it against her hand a few times, and something shakes loose. She points it at the kobold, and a storm of silver arcane missiles fly out [19:46:21] * THey smash into the kobold and knock it to the ground, where it is instantly killed. [19:48:06] [Slinger 2] [19:48:32] * The kobold slinger drops his sling and pouch. He holds up his hands in surrender. [19:49:03] oh, he gave up I guess we can let him- [19:50:08] Shavozama! Do not kill an enemy that's surrendered. It's an unkingly action. [19:50:55] * Shavozama looms over the kobold, then at the last second, his arm darts out and he grabs for the kobold's shoulder. [19:51:32] Yeah, he won't hurt us. He gave up! [19:51:54] * It sort of screams a little. [19:52:00] * Shavozama yanks the kobold away from the corridor and practically drags it back to the party. [19:52:14] "Quit yer whinin, I said you'd live." [19:52:38] * He shuts up. [19:52:57] * Shavozama pushes him roughly into the midts of the group. [19:53:18] * Shavozama eyes Pramesh a little. [19:53:41] * He stands there, totally surrounded by tall people [19:53:59] * Jisar shrugs childishly, "So what do we do with him?" [19:54:04] (And a halfling0 [19:54:06] * Pramesh nods, and squats in front of the kobold, sheathing his weapon. "What's your name?" [19:54:22] do they speak common? [19:54:44] "Not sure. We speak the same language, however." [19:55:15] * Shavozama kicks the kobold swiftly and barks in draconic. "Name!" [19:55:44] Shavozama! Conduct yourself properly. [19:55:53] That is not a correct action. [19:55:54] * He yelps. "Kriklilik" [19:56:18] huh? what kind of a name is kick-lilac? [19:56:39] Kolbolds sure do have funny names [19:57:30] Don't tell me what to do, hob. [19:57:55] This piece of trash is a disgrace to all dragonkind. [19:58:08] Looking upon him insults me. [19:58:19] * Jisar bends over to the Kolbold, "Now I know you're scared but if you can help us we can let you go" [19:58:29] * Jisar looks around, "Right, guys?" [19:58:33] Control yourself. Passions lead to improper action. Ask him how many others there are in the warren. [19:58:36] * Crane shrugs. [19:58:49] * Pramesh nods. "He'll be free if he helps us. Killing a prisoner is improper." [19:58:56] * "Yess, yess, what do you want?" It practically drops to its knees [19:59:11] "Kriklilik. Tell me how many of you vermin are in this hive." [19:59:33] * Shavozama stares at Jisar. [19:59:36] * Jisar nods "see? all it takes is a little politeness, that's what my ma always said, says." [19:59:40] "Are you calling me a liar, little man?" [19:59:54] "I said I'd let him live, and he will." [20:00:23] * Jisar hides behind Pramesh, "No, but I am calling you a bully." [20:00:35] * "A-a-about twenty. Kobolds." [20:01:01] wow! not all at once?! that's a lot [20:01:29] I never been part of so much killin', I've never been a part of any killing [20:01:39] We've sent on acout half that number. [20:02:26] wow, really?! I feel bad [20:02:31] * Shavozama eyes Jisar. [20:03:39] They weren't following a correct path. Hopefully, they'll be better in their next lives. [20:03:58] * Jisar shivers "Why are you making me feel worse Shavozama?" [20:04:23] "You've insulted me. That I will never forget." [20:04:54] * Jisar stands frightend and silent but for a whisper, "sorry." [20:05:23] "Forgiven." [20:05:36] * Jisar wipes his brow. [20:05:39] Kriklilik. Go, and act correctly. [20:05:44] * Pramesh stands up and steps aside. [20:05:49] * Shavozama switches to Draconic. "As for you, kobold. I'm not done with you." [20:06:03] "How many traps do you know of lie ahead?" [20:06:19] * Jisar stops the kolbold. "Wait!, are there anything else here besides Kolbolds?" [20:06:50] "How many traps do you know of lie ahead?" [20:07:58] * There is... the rock. Big rock, rolling around. [20:08:29] "Where." [20:08:36] "Where." [20:09:07] * "T-two rooms ahead. With the Wyrmpriest. [20:09:54] wyrmpriest, what's that? [20:10:03] (Jizar speaks draconic?) [20:10:24] * Shavozama looms closer to Kriklilik. "Just one trap?" [20:11:30] * He thinks a bit. "Well, there is a rock on a rope tied to the ceiling used for games when we get bored... I guess it could become an impromptu trap." [20:11:51] "You expect me to believe that twenty of you vermin hive together here... and built TWO traps." [20:11:59] "Out of TWENTY OF YOU." [20:12:14] * "The rest was all in this room." [20:12:26] "Mark them." [20:12:46] * He starts talking, carefully, and starts marking bits on the floor. [20:13:16] * He ends up marking the twu suits of armor, and seven large sections of the floor. [20:13:18] * Shavozama watches the kobold. [20:13:40] "Now flee." [20:13:44] * "Oh, oh, and the slime pit..." [20:13:54] * "IN the last room.." [20:14:02] * He nods, and starts running. [20:14:08] * He runs back the way you came. [20:14:11] * Shavozama turns to the others. [20:14:25] "There is a large boulder trap two areas ahead, with their shaman." [20:15:01] * Shavozama looks back at Pramesh. [20:15:47] "My honor is different from yours. Don't ever imply it is incorrect again." [20:16:15] There is a correct path to take in all situations. [20:16:29] If your honor blinds you from it, kill your honor. [20:16:48] * Shavozama eye's widen. [20:16:49] * Pramesh heads back up the stairs to begin searching the bodies for useful things. [20:17:33] * Jisar scutters behind Pramesh scared helping with the body searches [20:17:50] * Crane does the same. "We all follow our own paths, and since we are on the same one, I suggest we all try and get along." [20:18:54] * Shavozama just stands there, stareing at Pramesh's back. [20:19:41] * On the kobold bodies, you find six suits of hide armor, 6 light spears, and 6 spears. On the kobold slinger Jisar killed in one hit, you find leather aromr, a dagger, a sling with 20 bullets, and 3 glue shot special bullets. Kriklilik dropped his sling and a pouch with 18 sling bullets. [20:20:37] "We can sell this when we return to town. Shall we continue onward, or rest a few moments?" [20:20:58] up to you guys, i'm good to go now [20:21:00] * On the altar, you see a small bag. [20:21:16] i'm going to check this alter for traps [20:21:53] "I need to catch my breath." [20:22:12] * Shavozama doesn't look like he's breathing that hard. [20:22:23] * Pramesh returns. "I need to focus my thoughts as well." [20:22:29] * Crane nods. [20:23:35] * Jisar finds no traps on the altar. He finds that it is dedicated to Tiamat, though. [20:24:28] * The small bag continues to lie there [20:25:29] hey Shavozama! what do you think about this bag? [20:25:57] * Shavozama looks like he's meditating while standing upright. [20:26:35] * Jisar waits [20:27:02] * Pramesh , still fingering his prayer beads, walks up to the altar. [20:29:35] * Pramesh begins work on scraping the paint off of the altar. [20:29:54] * THe paint is flaky and easily comes off. The bag does not. [20:30:01] * Because nobody tried to pick it up. [20:30:05] * Pramesh opens the bag up. [20:30:41] http://img.waffleimages.com/375a0d8b76f823fc41c829881812713b72060438/MM1-0096.gif [20:30:58] * That doesn't happen. Actually, the bag contains 60 gold pieces. [20:31:22] * An offering to Tiamat [20:32:02] * Pramesh laughs. "Today's a good day. Gentlemen, we're taking from Tiamat what she doesn't deserve." [20:32:28] * Shavozama grunts. [20:32:53] * Pramesh pulls twelve gold pieces out of the bag and passes it on. [20:33:19] * Jisar squirms "Is it ok to steal from a god" [20:34:28] * Shavozama snuffs out of his nostrils suddenly, with a wiff of ozone. [20:34:39] It's better than okay to steal from Tiamat. We earned it. [20:35:11] * Jisar looks around "Does everyone agree?" [20:35:33] * JIsar manages to recover all of his shuriken, too [20:36:06] * Shavozama turns. "The kobold's deity is one of cowardice and greed, as she must be to be worshipped by them." [20:36:19] ooh, I found all of my throwing stars [20:36:43] oh, ok. Yay more gold for poor adventurers! [20:38:01] "Tiamat takes what is not hers, just as these kobold thieves do." [20:38:13] * Shavozama takes his twelve gold from the bag. [20:38:35] how do we know this isn't part of the caravan? [20:38:56] "Unfortunately we have no way of knowing." [20:39:11] It could well be. We should ask the dwarf for a cargo manifest when we return, so we don't steal from him. [20:39:26] shouldn't we wait until we get everything back then? [20:39:38] "So if you truely wish to put it in it's proper place, you must suffice to leave it as you do not know where that is. However, waste is waste." [20:40:04] why don't we keep it all together? I'll hold it for now [20:40:21] * The coins, if anybody cares, are mostly Nerathan. [20:40:59] * Shavozama does not put his share back in the bag. [20:41:58] I assure you, if we need to return the gold, I'll have kept what I have safe. [20:42:02] * Jisar blinks "ok, we'll just put your share back in when we find it later, ok Shavozama? [20:42:12] There is gold from before Nerath in here, though. [20:42:32] Which means that I doubt it was all from the caravan. [20:42:43] "You will make no such decisions about my share. Did you not forget?" [20:42:53] "The dwarf *said* we could keep anything we find in here." [20:43:04] oh, i guess that makes sense, I don't know what Narath is though." [20:43:17] (Yes you do) [20:43:26] ( Everyone knows what Nerath is ) [20:43:46] (oh, I don't know the setting well) [20:43:57] (That's like someone born three generations after Rome fell saying they have no idea what a rome is.) [20:49:24] [End Session] [20:49:38] * On the kobold bodies, you find six suits of hide armor, 6 light spears, and 6 spears. On the kobold slinger Jisar killed in one hit, you find leather aromr, a dagger, a sling with 20 bullets, and 3 glue shot special bullets. Kriklilik dropped his sling and a pouch with 18 sling bullets. [20:49:46] You also found a bag with 60 gp [20:50:03] Finally, you earned 1050 XP, split up 5 ways among the group [20:50:12] So 210 XP each End of #kht buffer Tue Jun 24 20:50:59 2008
