In Defiance of Dragons--Protectors IC

Osric could see the cowardly little creature dart off into the woods, and he knew he wasn't fast enough to catch it. "Get it before it runs away! It probably has friends out there." Halberd in hand, he jogged towards the slinger, trying to get close enough to attack.

OOC: double move across the bridge and around the wagon, towards the kobold slinger.

Osric could see the cowardly little creature dart off into the woods, and he knew he wasn't fast enough to catch it. "Get it before it runs away! It probably has friends out there." Halberd in hand, he jogged towards the slinger, trying to get close enough to attack.

Valamir sprints over the bridge, his form obstructed by starlight. He stands and catches his breath, trying to put out his burning hair in his first real combat. He finally gets the fire put out, and regains his focus (heals 6).

The kobold slinger shifts defensively away from Osric (shifty ability lets him shift as a minor action, then shifts again as a move action). He then loads his sling and shoots at the dwarf, spitting something out in draconic. But it is apparently thrown off by being under such a vicious assault, and its bullet flies wide, releasing a noxious gas into the air beyond the wagon.

"I hope so Mirna. Can we make a short rest? I feel rather drained." Penance asks the others.

Immeral steps into the open and fires an arrow at the kobold, taking it in the chest and finishing ending its reptilian life.

End of combat, as the skirmisher appears to have disappeared into the forest.

Mirna glances around.

What an unlikely coincidence to find you all here...
I wonder where all that ice came from....
Perhaps there are more kobolds around who lost, lost control of their magic....
It certainly is a mystery to me....
She speaks in an arch, exaggerated tone of voice.

From where I observed your brave fight, from a very safe and far off distance, against the horrible monsters I certainly couldn't make out where those strange magical effects came from. She makes a melodramatic shrug worthy of a drunken bard.

She looks pointedly at Immeral.

And then scuttles over to Penance. Wow, that looks really painful.... she says in her normal clipped tone.
The young woman looks like she's going to prod one of his blisters with a long finger but manages to resist actually touching it. It hurts, right?

Penance examines his own bruises and cuts and looks at the others.
"I seem to be hurt most. But I think most of us need at least a short rest. Immeral, can you find a good place to regroup and bind wouds a bit away from the main route?"
As he says so, he takes out his holy symbol under his shirt.

Valamir walks over to the wagon, and gives a look around, checking to see if the creatures had taken the merchant's goods away from the wagon.

Oscarl gave a long glare in the direction of the escaped kobold. "Somehow, I just know he is gonna come back and bite us on the..." He paused, and glanced in Mirna's direction before finishing "Knee." He strode over to the slinger's corpse, leaning his halberd against the wreckage of the wagon, and began searching the body- some of those sling "stones" had been a bit exotic. "Let's get our breath, take a quick look 'round here, then see if we can go after that crafty little wretch."

OOC: Short rest, and spend a healing surge to recover from the beetle-flame. Search the slinger, and check the wagon to see if anything is salvagable- then we go kobold hunting...

Mirna looks slightly miffed that Penance hasn't answered her question. She stands up and huffs off to help search the wagons with Valamir

Mirna makes a mental note to herself.... Dwarven knees very sensitive. Probably because they're so fat. Pressure on their joints.

She comes to stand next to the young warlock, these... she says ....are kobolds!

Kobolds often dwell near a dragon’s lair, maintaining a safe distance but bringing sacrificial offerings to their “god.” Most dragons ignore kobolds, as a crocodile ignores the birds that pick its teeth clean.
Kobolds are skilled at making traps, which they use to capture prey and to acquire sacrifices for their dragon lords.

She rattles off the information she recalls about them; glancing slyly over to see if the young man looks impressed.

Valamir nods in agreeance. "Makes sense I guess. I guess you did learn something other than how to clean up while in that tower," Valamir jokes.

[sblock=ooc]I rolled an arcane check too, Can't find it now. It was like a 7 or so. I know jack about kobolds.[/sblock]

Mirna smiles back brightly at him.

She raps her staff on one of the wagons, summoning light at it's tip and practically leaps inside the wagon to explore.

Penance looks at Mirna and says: "I got only some cut and bites, nothing that the divine powers cannot handle. About burns, you have to ask Osrik. I'm not easily burned."
As he says so, he uses his holy symbol and a short prayer to let the Raven Queen heal his wounds. (At least Mirna will know his cleric powers before.)

He uses his second Healing Word on himself and tries to get a short rest.
