They can no see everything going on perfectly. First, Arvin turns his deadly twin sword assault on the redcap facing him. His first attack cuts the Redcap cleanly with a devastating stroke. His second attack is a straightforward thrust that runs the redcap through. When Arvin retracts his blade, the redcap's lifeless body falls to the floor. Arvin rolled <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154862" target="_blank">a critical threat</a> and then <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154863" target="_blank">confirmed it</a>, doing a total of <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154864" target="_blank">18 damage</a>.  The Redcap has 4 hp left. Arvin's second attack<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154865" target="_blank"> impales the redcap</a>, doing <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154866" target="_blank">6 damage</a>. The redcap dies. Only the wounded (breathweapon survivor) redcap is alive now. Seeing his brothers die, he becomes enraged and charges directly at Arvin (the others are on the far side of the firepit). Arvin fends him off just as well as he did the other one. The redcap <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154867" target="_blank">charges, power attacks for 2 and misses</a>. Kytheria and Alek delay at the top of the ravine. Seeks the Darkness, slides down the grade, landing heavily.When he reaches the bottom, he moves forward, training his bow on the last redcap. "Take that little runt!"The arrow <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154874" target="_blank">misses</a> by inches, clattering against the far wall of the cave. OOC: The redcap ran around the lip of the cave, so I had to move Seeker to F11.Bartlin ran forward, bringing his lance to bear. The tip pierces the redcap. The redcap howls and curses in Sylvan! The redcap moved so I had Bartlin move to F8 instead of E10- to keep his reach advantage. He <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154879" target="_blank">hit</a>, doing  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154881" target="_blank">8 damage</a>. Once again the last monster is left with ONE hit point. Yarin reaches the bottom of the ditch, sees an opening and takes it- he hurls his dagger. It whizzes past, hitting the far wall. Yarin <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154883" target="_blank">misses</a> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Finally, Bahuman hits the dirtfloor at the bottom of the ravine and runs inside, bringing his axe to bear. The half-giant hits easily, chopping the last redcap with a frightening <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=154886" target="_blank">overhead hack. </a> Bahuman does 21 hp damage, laving the last redcap at... -20. I think he's probably dead. The bloody bodies of the redcaps begin to smolder and deteriorate into wisps of magic. Within seconds, all four have disappeared entirely, leaving behind only a single tooth each. The tooth of the redcap. Arvin and Alek both remember it having some sort of value, but may have to research further what to do with a Redcap tooth.  THE BATTLE IS OVER. THE REDCAPS ARE ALL DEAD. OK. Kytheria and Alek make their way down into the cave carefully as the dust clears. There is a smallish wooden chest (unlocked- it has a busted rusty padlock on it) in the corner of the cave. It contains 500 gp. There is a 10' wide passage leading north and going down at a gentle 30 degree angle. It seems to be lit by torches in sconces every 20 feet or so. You haven't entered the passage yet, but you can see it seems to go on about 40' before it splits into a Y intersection to the Northwest and Northeast.</blockquote>
