Each will alternate from the perspective of the players to the kobolds, and vice versa.Just as a reminder, the PCs are:Djora Kelrath- 10th level human cleric of PelorNeek Kib- 11th level halfling (sorry I didn't mention it) rougeHulk- 10th level half orc barbarianPART 1They were confident of their victory. While new to town, they had an impressive list of victories. They had routed giants, outwitted a dragon, and killed an entire tribe of hobgoblins. They were just going to kill a few kobolds to gain the goodwill of the townsfolk. It would be easy.With this knowledge, they stepped into the cave.***Far away, Nk'Nrkak woke with a start. His alarm spell had just gone off, which meant that they had intruders in the lair."Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm!" he yelled. "Intruders in the lair, coming through the main entrance!"Huge gongs rang everywhere, each gong-kobold hearing the alert and passing it on, aware that his actions would spark the lair into a sort of organized panic, with each kobold rushing to his defense station.***Djora cautiously stepped into the cave, careful to step around the slime that was everywhere in this damp place. She cast Daylight, and her holy symbol shone with the radiance of Pelor. "Ok, Hulk. Go first.""Yes, Miss." Hulk dully intoned."Wait, wait" squeeled Neek's squeaky voice "Shouldn't I go first? I'm the best at avoiding traps and all that. And besides, I won't swing three feet above their head.""Neek, you only want to go first so that you can make a ballad about how you bravely ventured into their lair, with us behind you." Djora said. "But.... But... But....-""But nothing. And besides, they probably don't have any traps to speak of," Djora said in a firm voice. "Mayby an arrow trap or two, but nothing major. So you can 'defend the rear'."The conversation was over.***Klt'Brkak ran to the lookout post, pressed his eye against the spyglass and waited.***Hulk cautiously advanced up the tunnel, until he came to a door. "Me open?""Yes, yes" said Djora absently."Wait!" said Neek. "Shouldn't we buff? Check for traps? Something?""Neek," Djora said. "They're only Kobolds."Hulk slammed against the door, popping it off its hinges. To be confronted with... Another door, five feet away. Hulk popped it off its hinges. Another door stared him in the face.In the end, seven doors were on the floor.Hulk peered down the cave. It went for 200 feet forward, then split.***Klt'Brkak looked at the enemy in the front. He gasped. It was an orc! No, wait... not an orc. It wasn't tall enough, and didn't have tusks. A half-orc then, wielding an axe with a blade as large as a kobold.The next intruder was human and had a symbol of the sun-god that was glowing. A cleric, then.The last was a halfling. Two shortswords and leather armor meant a cleric.Klt waited in the narrow space between the two cave passages. Would the intruders go right, or left? Hmm.... They seemed to be arguing***"To the left, Hulk," Djora said, commanding as always."No, the right!" squeeled Neek."Yes Miss" Hulk said."Why don't they listen to me?" groaned Neek.***Klt ran back his passageway, took the left turn, and warned the garrison.***Hulk walked and walked. The passage seemed to go on forever. Then, he saw the end of the passage. A dead end. He stopped."Keep going, Hulk."Hulk groaned, and continued on. The Mistress knew best. Mayby there was gold at the end of the cave, and he couldn't see it.Five minutes later, they were at the dead end."Hah! I knew we should have gone to the right!" said Neek.The adventurers turned around....And a huge ballista bolt, along with half a dozen crossbow bolts and a pair of magic missles shot at them.End of part 1.------Well, what do you think?</blockquote>
