Never mind the fact that we sent him back to Shadykin’s, he just had to go off and do his own thing.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Not really much to say about the initial descent into the mines. We thought it was a little weird that we never found Robyn’s body. The discussion on what to do with our pet kobold was pretty interesting, though. Nigel was against killing it just because it was “evil”; during the interrogation, the kobold told the group that all they did was mine and make things for the “dragon” and had no interest at all in messing with the nearby elf village. Sinea and Findus confirmed that they had not ever been bothered by the kobolds, and I believe that is what finally swayed the “Let’s kill it!” group over to the “Let’s just knock it out, tie it up, and leave it somewhere where it won’t be discovered until after it starves to death” group.  The ambush coming up the ramp wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t for those stupid tanglefoot bags. I sort of had a feeling that once we had gotten most of the way up, something large and heavy was going to come rolling down the ramp. It didn’t occur to me that they’d try to immobilize us first.Nobody was more surprised that Nigel scored hits through the two arrow slits than I (player) was. I figured: we were standing at the end of the hallway getting peppered. Nigel thought enough of his bow skills that he’d probably get 1 arrow through a slit and maybe, just maybe, the other one would think twice about shooting at us once he saw his buddy laying next to him with an arrow in his head. Two very good attack rolls later, there were 2 kobolds with arrows in their faces and we could get Rurik out of the pit in peace.  It was pretty damn kool.I thought the sequence of events in the murder hole room was inspired thinking on Rurik and Zalman’s part. Closing the holes then distracting our tormentors with the dogs… just brilliant. Nigel was slightly disappointed he didn’t get to shoot arrows through any holes this time. I had made a post on the last boards that didn’t make the switch over saying that Nigel takes attacks on himself and his friends very seriously. That’s why he had no problem dispatching the hiding spell-flinger as opposed to sparing the miner they had met earlier.Ugh. Thridlemond. What a pain. That’s for another post, though. For the record, Nigel still has a fate point and I’m almost positive Amblin has one left too.</blockquote>
