Message: <blockquote data-quote="diaglo" data-source="post: 737554" data-attributes="member: 2885">A taste of their own medicineVeridian and Bernedette retrieved bolts and arrows not destroyed in the slaying of the beast. Veridian then turned to the chests. Everyone else stepped way back. Thane provided the light from on far. Timmay and Bernedette went to find Ulfgar. Erik and Bartol waited to see if there was anything worth carrying.Veridian examined the chests very carefully. He was methodical, but cautious. Finally, he tried the lock. Neither chest was locked. The party hunkered down. The first chest opened to reveal a hoard of silver coins. They were very old and the damp conditions had tarnished them. Veridian opened the second chest. Again, more coins, but inside he also found two vials. Thane hummed a spell. Bartol strapped his lantern to his belt as he and Erik began to pack the coins. "Magic," he announced. "One is conjuration. The other is..."CRashhhh, Thump"By Great Moradin's Hammer," a voice called. Ulfgar had company.Bartol dropped everything. He sprinted back to the door. He drew his Greatsword on the way. His lantern just hinted at the scene. Ulfgar had a pack of trogs surrounding him. The largest of the group wore a breastplate and began to hum.Bernedette and Timmay struggled out of a patch of grease.“Do I want fries with that? Oh, Ronald McClown,” Timmay yelled. “You are so gonna pay for that. Taste the power of Timmay‘s Crippling Caution.”Timmay hummed his own tune of magic. The pack of trogs froze. Their tactics changed. Suddenly, they were no longer on the offensive. It was as if they had lost all ability to attack and thought only to save their own hides. The leader was the only one unaffected. A random thought came to the party simultaneously, “I hate Timmay’s choice of spells.” Obviously some greater being was watching this battle. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Bernedette called out to her magical friends. Thane, Erik, and Veridian also responded to the sounds of battle. Thane’s lantern was directed better.Ulfgar waded into the battle his hammer striking left and then right as the pack tried to surge away. One of the trogs fell to the blows. They tried to flee back thru the door. A large lizard blocked most of the way. Bartol skirted  the pool and moved closer. His lantern pointed at the ceiling. But with his vision he could still see most of the battle. The leader hummed again. Momentarily, Timmay and Bernedette got a little drowsy. Both recovered.“You don’t know who you are messing with,” Timmay answered. Timmay turned his attention to the lizard. He tossed some sand up into the air. The lizard slumped over asleep. Ulfgar caved in its skull. Bernedette's call was answered by a glowing eagle. It dove into the pack. Bernedette turned her attention to the leader. She snapped a bone over her knee and fired a bolt of magic. It struck true. But the results were unclear. She assumed she had weakened him. But he didn't appear to be having trouble with the weight of his armor. The slower party members also closed the distance some more. Thane and Veridian would soon be in battle. Erik, well, some times heavy armor is more of a restriction than you know.</blockquote>
