Hero's Quest (Solo Eberron Campaign)

[Blackrat]

"I suspected as much. I'll go inform the lady that you have arrived." She says with a wink. A couple of minutes later you see Elaydren walk out from the private area of the Inn. Instead the gown of a noble-woman she was wearing before, she is now wearing a pair of leather breeches, long boots and a leather vest over a sturdy shirt. She is carrying a backpack which seems to be empty. On the side you note the hooded figure rising and leaving in haste dropping a few coins on the table. Elaydren hurries to sit next to you. "Thank the Host you came. There's not much time." She drops the pack next to your table. "Please, help me." She is looking around while she speaks and obviously seems alerted by the hooded figure that left in such a haste.

 

[Kaodi]

Seeing that Elaydren apparently shares his concern, Valsamath says, " I think that perhaps we should vacate the premises, now. Someone seems to be keeping themselves abreast of our alliance, and I feel uncomfortable lingering long when folks make themselves suspicious... "

 

[Blackrat]

"No time for that Val. I can't stay in Sharn any longer. Listen carefully. All you need to know is in the left pocket of that pack. Take it and..." Her speach is interrupted by the door bursting in and four kobolds running in, along with a warforged carrying exactly the same looking sword you took from the Scimitar.

OOC: Time for initiative

Init order:
Kobolds
Elaydren
Warforged
Valsamath
All the others

The four kobolds rush in taking places near the wall and fire their crossbows. Two at you and two at Elaydren. But their hurried shots fly wide and only one of them manages to hit Elaydren. Elaydren ducks behind one table and you see a small glowing spark form in her hand, which she hurls to the kobold. The spark hits the kobold square in the chest and drops it screaming in pain. The warforged stares at you, looking at the hilt of your new sword. "Thief! Murderer!" He shouts as he charges you but you dodge easily his crazed swing with a sword.

 

[Kaodi]

Stepping back from the warforged, Valsamath quickly draws his sword. Silently cursing himself for being taken by a surprise he was sure was coming, he manifests and his body again takes on armour like properties, this time stronger than before.

" Flee, Elaydren! These villains will not find me easy prey, " he exclaims to the Cannith heir.

The other patrons throw down in panic, some making a run for the door. The kobolds now all take shots at Elaydren but the table proves to be a good shield as the bolts thump to it. She mutters quietly and fries another kobold with a glowing spark. "I can take down these lizards, you worry about the 'forged!"

The warforged keeps taunting at you as he slashes you with his sword, nicking a small cut on your arm, ruining your shirt. "Weak fleshling. That is my brother's blade. I take back."

OOC: Counting your DR you take 3 damage.

 

[Kaodi]

" Oh? He was your brother? Then here, have it back, " says Valsamath through gritted teeth as he steps forward and swings Scimitar at the warforged.

[Blackrat]

Your strike was well placed but he parries it with his sword. Elaydren gets a bolt stuck on her shoulder and cries loudly but manages to consentrate on another magic strike against the kobold, again dropping one of them. She drops completely behind the table to take full cover. The 'forged follows the parry up with his sword but you gracefully dodge his clumsy attack.

OOC: Elaydren is in very bad shape but still conscious. She is now in full cover behind a tipped table so she is in no immediate danger but the last kobold is now free to also attack you.

 

[Kaodi]

Glancing back Valsamath sees that Elaydren is in a bind, but he knows the best way to help her is to end this fight quickly. Taking note of the position of the kobold, he moves to attack again.

" Scimitar is happy to see you. Perhaps you would like to tell me your name so I can give it to your sword after I destroy you, " says Valsamath, swinging the blade. Unfortunately, he perhaps should have spent less time thinking of a witty remark and more time focusing on his strike.

Attack: 1d20+5=6
