    Crown of the Kobold King

    After a couple of minutes Luger is fully satisfied that the basement doesn't lead anywhere else. There are still many jars of both peach and blackberry preserves on the shelves, a small stack of kindling and firewood, and an empty cask of lamp oil lying in the floor. Azog:The spider Luger...

    Crown of the Kobold King

    The spider hunches low and leaps throwing itself at Luger. The warforged is quick though and manages to side-step as he swings his blade. The longsword meets the spider mid air and cleaves it fully into two leg twitching pieces that land some distance away from the 'forged in a trail of blood...

    Like nails on a chalk board black, it's fangs drag across your adamantine plating but find no purchase. Attack: 7 (3+4) Forgot about your damage reduction. So that would have been only 1 damage last round.

    Crown of the Kobold King

    Luger's sword crunches into the spider's exoskeleton driving it nearly to the floor. When it jerks free the blade trails blood and viscous slime. Shuddering, the arachnid throws itself at you driving its fangs into your abdominal cabling. Attack: 23 (19+4) Damage: 3

    Crown of the Kobold King

    Luger draws his sword and shimmies down the ladder. The spider, apparently thinking it is hidden, waits under the table- completely still. The stench in the cellar would be overpowering to anyone other than a warforged. From below Luger can see bins of root vegetables lining one wall-...

    Crown of the Kobold King

    No. Too large and with the lock melted shut and door charred from above, this room hasn't been opened since the orphanage burned a couple of months ago.

    Crown of the Kobold King

    Dimlez crouches near the opening and quickly scans the small room below. A chipped, blood-stained oaken table rests against one wall, with all manner of blades and barbed instruments laid out on it. A single pair of rusted shackles is bolted into the opposite wall, whose bricks are stained in...

    Crown of the Kobold King

    The door crunches with the impact and explodes down into the cellar. You notice the lump of metal that was once the lock holds fast to a the splintered remains still clinging to it. The stench of rot belches forth from this rank cellar. In the moonlight the rough outline of a table is barely...

    Crown of the Kobold King

    The clearing comes into sharp relief with both Dimlez and Luger's brilliance starkly illuminating everything in pale cold tones. The alchemist in particular is difficult to look at directly with light emanating from his very skin. Something previously hidden under a bush catches Aidan's eye...

    Crown of the Kobold King

    Here is a sample marching order based on who has weighed in so far. Adjust as necessary. Note that your source of Light is in the back, and Luger who has no dark vision is leading. He will be working in shadowy illumination. We'll move on from this scene once Fang is brought back to find the...

    Crown of the Kobold King

    Fang calls out with a low whining howl from inside the ruins, and you can hear his nails scrabbling on something hard. When Azog steps in to see what has his attention, Fang is deep in the ruins near what was the center. Charred boards and the occasional bones of a orphan crunch under his feet...

    Crown of the Kobold King

    As more people step forward to join the search, Kitani thanks them profusely while directing venomous glances at those regulars who chose to stay seated.

    Crown of the Kobold King

    At The Clean Cut Butchery- Seldin is stricken with terror at the forged's heartless response and begins to sob quietly mumbling, "I didn't know she would really do it. It's not my fault." Colbrin calls after Luger's abrupt departure, "You'll be after them then won't you? Kreed has so many...
