Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[Mista Collins]

In a low voice, Tanith turns to the others. "It seems they intend to use us as some bait."

Raising her voice so the she can be heard, Tanith shouts to the kobolds in their native tongue. [sblock=draconic]"You will be making a grave mistake by thinking us as typical fodder. This is your last chance to lay down your arms and make it out alive! If you refuse, you will burn!"[/sblock]

Rokelsh holds his bow in one hand and sword in the other, weighing the benefits of each as he decides which to use. "Let us be done with this. I have the feeling they are stalling for a reason. Something is coming."

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Rokelsh holds his bow in one hand and sword in the other, weighing the benefits of each as he decides which to use. "Let us be done with this. I have the feeling they are stalling for a reason. Something is coming."

Shai nods. "I don't want to meet that chaos beast," he says with a shudder. "But I want to do it a lot less if those dog-boys wanna pin us here from the other side."

 

[Friadoc]

"I so dislike the dishonorable," says Friadoc in a rare display of anger. However, after a slight calming breath he draws his nunchaku before preparing for battle. "Desperation often makes fools out of anyone."

"If only I had a thunderstone," says Friadoc as he thinks aloud.

Rogash

Patting a couple of pockets Rogash replies to Friadoc's lament. "Fresh out." He gestures down the hall. "I guess negotiations have broken down and we are back to war. I'll try not to let them use me for target practice again." He begins working his way down the hall.

 

[DrZombie]

Jonas whispers"I say we just charge them and finish 'em. "

"If only I had a thunderstone," says Friadoc as he thinks aloud.

If only you knew how funny that is to me right now... [/sblock]

Here's a small map for a frame of reference. You can't really charge from your current location, as the kobolds are around a corner.

18 Tanith Dathius 23/23:
12 Shaimon Hu'u 36/36 barkskin:
12 Dyspeer 28/29:

[sblock=ooc]I believe the hit points are correct, if I've been keeping my notes accurately. I've forgotten to log it in the past, so let me know if it is inaccurate, please.[/sblock]

Rogash

"If we charge them, we can expect another volley of crossbow bolts. Trust me, if there is another option we should take it." Rogash lowers his voice to a whisper, "We could gather a couple of the fallen Kobolds and toss them out into the line of fire and then if they spend their bolts, we can charge. Anybody want to try that?"

 

[Friadoc]

"Works for me," says Friadoc as he looks towards the corner. "In fact, let me check something really quick."

Friadoc moves toward the inner corner wall, pulls the hood of his cloak up tightly and climbs straight up the wall so as to stealthfully peak around the corner.

OOC

Okay, spiderclimb should still be in effect, as it lasts for 10 minutes per level, which means 40 minutes. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll correct the action.

Friadoc is obviously using hide and move silently to climb up the wall and peak just around the corner of the upper most inner corner of the turn.

 

[industrygothica]

Friadoc climbs the wall and gazes around the corner. Much to his surprise, he sees...

[sblock=Friadoc]another kobold... at eye level! A steep staircase begins just after the bend in the corner and climbs upward to a platform much like the one beneath the manhole through which you entered this cursed place.

Fortunately, the kobold has his attention focused at the bottom of the stairs, and does not see you.

Yet.
