[QUOTE="JesterPoet, post: 9136, member: 138"] Just then I heard a scream from across the hall and looked to see Ian not blocking anyone’s view anymore as he crumpled to the floor with a crossbow bolt in his chest. The cleric and I looked at Ian and looked at each other. I could see what she was thinking so I yelled, “I’m on it Priest” and started moving to cover Ian. She looked relieved and headed over to Gigantor to clean up the new batch of scum that entered the hall. After a brief incantation, I managed to cover the front of me with a magical shield. I knew it wouldn’t last long, so I used the opportunity to see to Ian’s wounds. He was bleeding pretty badly, but I managed to put on enough pressure with a bandage to stop the bleeding. Luckily, he was out cold so I didn’t have to worry about him standing up in front of me as I attempted to kill off the remaining kobolds. Somehow one of the little bastards showed up behind us as well, so I had a kobold on either side of us with a crossbow. Funny how the elf can’t be in my way when I need him to. Nonetheless, I moved the shield around to my back side and opened fire on the kobold in front of me. As I did, I heard Gigantor fall to the floor. The priest looked at me. “This one’s mine” she shouted, and in a few seconds, the human was on his feet again. Someone is always trying to show me up... Just as I fired on my target, however, another kobold in flowing red robes stepped out of a room in the back of the hall. I could certainly tell no good would come of this. I noticed, as she walked towards us, that she was muttering something. I looked over to Gigantor and saw him swaying on his feet. “Bamf, resist the evil temptress!” I shouted at him. I realize now that this was a bit melodramatic, but you know how it is in the heat of the moment. Nonetheless, he seemed unable to resist, so I felt it was time for drastic measures. As the priest attacked the kobold nearest her, I shouted out the words “Enchantus Dorminus Nocti” and watched two of the kobolds with crossbows and the sorceress fall to the floor in a deep slumber. As the sorceress fell to the floor, Gigantor came to. He and the priest became kobold killing machines. I felled the one I was firing at and turned my attention to the one behind me. As the last kobolds behind me were finished off, I exchanged crossbow fire with the coward who was trying to shoot me in the back. I fired off many bolts without hitting him, clearly because I wanted to scare him before finishing him off, not bevause I, Zapfazzle Koboldslayer Goblinsbane Elfcurser couldn't hit him. But in the end, he was slain with the rest. Probably by me. I can't really remember. Some of the kobolds had silver in their pockets, which was a lucky thing, as we can certainly use the money. We took what the kobolds had on them, and pulled Ian into a room we cleared out earlier. After the preist tended to his wounds, we finally decided to catch up on our much needed rest. [/QUOTE]
