OOC: Thanks covaithe! And a belated thanks to Erekose13 for his posting as well. I just caught it while I was in the middle of NPCing Beyrk during my update.
--
Leave hard gob alone! With that, Dang't channeled lightning like water, sending bolt after bolt at the larger foe. Dang't's electricity ravages the large Kruthik, leaving it bloody and near death. The strokes of lightning were so powerful that one of the smaller creatures beside it is injured, and the other is killed outright by the booming thunder!
--
“And thee also I curse. May thy entrails wither and come out through thy nostrils!” Girth once more channeled the power of his Dark Mistress against the enemy this time against the adult beast at the back of the horde. Then, realizing his precarious position, he jinked back further behind the fighters.
Once in a safer position he raised his arms and dark matter shot from his mouth and nose to cover the ranks of the Kruthik.
“Thy Will be done my Demanding Damsel” he chortled as the darkness solidified around the creatures. A wall of blackness extended across the mouth of the facing passage blocking line of sight.
(OOC question because I've been away from 4E a bit: Could Girth curse I9 like that? In my PHB it says Warlock's Curse can be targeted at "the enemy nearest to you that you can see." ???)
--
"Argh!" Kauldron cried out in pain as his lit cigar fell out of his mouth and onto the cavern floor.
"Damn these things be nasty."
"Let's see how they are when I turn on the heat!" He chuckles and twirls his blade with his hand. His blade flashes forward striking the young kruthik to his right. The young screams in pain inciting the others to attack him as well. Then Kauldron hunkers bunch and let's out a boom of divine power as holy light flashes and spills outwards from him making the kruthik cringe. He then takes a step back to fill in the void and contain the wall.
--Hrav stabs wildly at the nearest kruthik hatchling, and misses just as wildly. (This was dead before he did this, per Dang'ts turn. But with a roll of a natural 1, he wouldn't have hit anything anyway.)
--
"Buck up, shorty," Quagmire calls as he moves past Kauldron to the front, taking advantage of the darkness to step down the western passage. He raises his weapon to strike when a foe emerges from the dark cloud.
"We're just gettin started."
--(Quagmire takes 2 damage for ending his turn in the Kruthik's Gnashing Horde aura.)
Kauldron feels his spirits lift at Quagmire's words. (8+8 hps healed)
--Beyrk adds to Quagmire's encouragement, boosting the little tin can's morale. (healing Kauldron up to full.)
He then shouts at one of the bugs and while taunts are likely useless it appears to work anyways.
-----------------------------------------------------------
--Each of the adult Kruthiks take 15 damage from Girth's Hunger of Hadar, killing the one nearest Quagmire. The Kruthik young at I11 and J11 also take 15 damage from it.
--The remaining adult Kruthik
does not recharge it's Toxic Spikes.
--The remaining adult Kruthik moves forward to attack Quagmire, but misses badly. Then it feels the burn of Kauldron's holy light after failing to attack the goblinoid. (15 radiant damage to Kruthik adult 2)
--The young Kruthik move forward to attack Kauldron in force, one even tunneling through the nearby wall to reach him. None of the 3 are able to hit the brave Goblin though.
--Two of the hatchlings reappear behind Hrav and Beyrk as they burrow up from beneath the ground. They claw at the party members, but are unable to hurt either of them.
