[LPF] Return to Boar's Ridge

Frowning his populated eyebrows, the dwarf presses onward towards the room, with his guard up. The grotesque adorns didn't help to build trust in the dwarf.

Tamarie the Songweaver
Turning from the other set of double doors, Tamarie summarizes, "I don't see any magics on either the open or the closed doors. However, I have no idea what the spell that hurt Yosephus looked like before it went off, either."

The magical song weaver looks like she is about to step into the room when she sees Devlin glaring upward. Stepping up, she takes the torch from the sconce and offers it to him, putting it within easy reach. She looks at him, but says doesn't elaborate.

[sblock=Action]Move to Q-32. Take torch from sconce and hold it out so that it can be easily taken by Devlin.[/sblock]

Devlin did not notice any traps on the doors from his cursory glance over them.

Moving deeper into the bed chamber you saw a flickering candle on a table providing some extra illumination to the dim room. It had hardly burned down very far, clear evidence the room was likely occupied within the last quarter hour.

Hanging the wall was some grotesque sculpture like ornaments made from bones, likely human or humanoid.

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion



Darvus keeps an eye out by the door, confident that the dwarf can cover the room while he guards the rear. He calls into the room, "Is there a way down?"

Tamarie the Songweaver
The little halfling scooting off to his next task faster than Tamarie can keep up with, she sighs softly and heads through the door. "I'll have the torch if you want it later, Devlin," she explains, carrying a combination of natural and magical light with her as she begins to examine what the others have already seen.

The grotesque decorations on the opposite wall get the song weaver's attention. "What the," Tamarie begins, her voice trailing off. She looks at it, with a puzzled look on her face. "Is that of arcane origin... or divine... or neither. Not sure." Continuing in a much lower voice, "Shouldn't have quit the academy."

[sblock=Actions]Move action: Move to U-33. Carrying a loaded crossbow in one hand and a lit torch in the other.

Tamarie is trying to see if the grotesque decor is anything more than just disgusting, in terms of arcane or divine significance. Threw down both an Aracana (result 8) and Religion (result 9, untrained, max DC 10) check. Didn't do so well:
Kn Arcane and Kn Religion on grotesque decor: 1D20+5 = [3]+5 = 8
1D20+1 = [8]+1 = 9

Yosephus Errol Smithe, Cleric of Amenthia, the Healing Hand

Yosephus moves into the right closet and begins doing a thorough search of the area.

Tamarie did not recognize anything of significance about the grotesque wall decorations.

Yosephus had only begun his search and had yet to find anything when the doors Darvus and Devlin were guarding burst open. The room beyond was some sort of living and gathering area with a table to eat from.


Getting the drop on your rear guard a half dozen kobold warriors swarmed out!

The carried light crossbows and maces, wearing leather armor.

A few fired crossbows and then closed in. Others drew maces and moved to surround the two on rear guard duty. Devlin evaded a crossbow bolt and a mace. Darvus took a crossbow bolt, but managed to deflect the other warrior's mace. The wound barely broke teh skin, his armor stopping the worst of it.

The last two kobolds moved on past, firing crossbow bolts at the aasimar and the sorceress. But took flesh wounds from the small bolts.

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion



From his current vantage point, Darvus is unable to see the dire straits Yosephus and Tamarie are in. Instead he focuses on getting to Devlin's aid, but his way has been cut off! Darvus brings his falchion to bear on the kobolds facing him as he swings in a wide arc, chopping down the vile creatures in a spray of blood and gore.

[sblock=Rolls]
Cleaving w/ Power Attack: 1D20+5 = [12]+5 = 17

Power attack damage: 2D4+9 = [3, 4]+9 = 16

Tamarie the Songweaver
Wincing in pain from the kobold's crossbow shot, the songweaver stepped away from the onrushing reptilians and dropped the lit torch onto the flagstone floor behind her. Bringing her crossbow to her shoulder, Tamarie fired a bolt in return. However, the small, fast moving enemy easily side-stepped her attack, and the bolt clattered noisily in the opposite chamber. "Muzdum, monsters!" she warned as she worked on reloading her weapon.

[sblock=Combat actions]No action: Step to V-34
Free action: Drop torch into W-33
Standard action: Attack K-5 with Light Crossbow (miss)
Move action: Reload Light Crossbow

Round 1 Lt Crossbow attack on K5: 1D20+2 = [11]+2 = 13
1D8 = [2] = 2

Notes:
(1) There is a red thing in the square Tamarie is moving to. No idea what it is, I'll just have to take my chances.
(2) Working on level-up, assumed +1 BAB for crossbow attack.
(3) The floors seem stone, but if they are flammable Tamarie won't drop the torch/get to attack.[/sblock]
