(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[Tonguez]

"Stop! Hold your blades and spells! Our doom lies in the death of these kobolds!"

'What!' the words from the priestest stagger the barbarian like a palpable blow. Amongst his people - the Leaping Eagles such mercy would be unheard of. These are not his people, even so, it is never wise to challenge the words of a Holy one.

Stepping back he swings his halberd full circle and uses the shaft only to strike the kobold (8) who struck at him. It is a act of self defense against his opponent he tells himself and thus does not transgrees the priestess' curse of doom should he slay the lizard!

 

[Tor L'Tha]

Rak

"Stop! Hold your blades and spells! Our doom lies in the death of these kobolds!"

What! How can that be?

Rak lifts his crossbow pointing to the head of the Koboldt (10) "Gemble please take care of the one, one the right"
Rak will not fire untill the kobolt attacks him. If the Kobolt do that.
Oterwise he will follow the head of the Kobolt with the crossbow.

 

[Korbin of Valenar]

Ala stands and cries out to her party, "Stop! Hold your blades and spells! Our doom lies in the death of these kobolds!"

As his blade slices into the kobold near him, Korbin's head snaps around to the direction of Ala's plea.

A puzzled look crosses his face, but he steps back from the line of kobolds, maintaining a defensive postion.

[OOC: Korbin takes a 5ft step to the north, and will ready an action to fight defensively if kobolds advance]

 

[hafrogman]

Liam shakes his head in disbelief at Ala's comment. Still, he stays his hand, even as he aims at the newest arrivals. He calls out to the elf.

"I hope you're right. . . more coming from the north!"

[ooc - ready an action to eldritch blast the first member of the new northern group that attacks any of the party.]

 

[taitzu52]

Sonrik is confident that he can slay these kobolds, but his heart is lightened with Ala's words. He glances around for signs of danger, and takes a step back next to Korbin, guarding them both with his shield.

(OOC- Sonrik takes a 5 foot step north[up], and readys an action to attack any kobolds that engage him.)

 

[Knight Otu]

Surprised at Ala's shout, Sel'Tarien steps backwards, to her side. He keeps his rapier ready should the kobolds advance. "Explain." He asks of the cleric.

 

[Vendetta]

"WOT?!?!?!?!?!?!" A confused dwarf shouts from atop the kobold captain as the squad of kobolds from the north east enter the clearing and stop, also looking confused. (and a bit afraid, to the trained eye)

"Your tricks wont save you from my returning troops, Thel'B!tch!" The captain screams out from under the dwarf, who promptly shoves his gauntlet covered fingers into the captain's mouth, shutting him up very effectively.

"Shat yer trap, drip!" The dwarf growls at the captain.

The Kobold Lieutenant steps forward toward Korbin and Sonrik, but maintains a 5 foot cushion between them. He looks like a very competent fighter, despite his small stature. "Release my captain!" He orders.

"Whew." Gemble says, under his breath as he draws his halfling longbow.

 

[Ashy]

Ala looks down to the kobold who she just healed. She nods to him confidently, "Tell your folk to stay their blades. My folk have done so..." She then looks to her party. "These kobolds are not our enemy", she cries so that all near her, friend and "foe" alike. "We all face a much greater foe! The hobgoblins! There numbers are far greater than these small folk of the hills-", she points to the kobold beside her for emphasis. "-who before now have left us in peace. They only raid our towns now to replace that which was taken from them by the hobgoblins! Further, there are greater, fouler forces at work in the dark holes of the world..." she looks knowlingly at her party, "which no doubt could be in league with, or at the helm of, this massive hobgoblin force!"

Ala pauses for dramatic emphasis and then speaks again, "Use your minds and not your arms - think! Why has this happened now???"

 

[Vendetta]

Erlik steps back and as he does so, spins the Halberd in his hands so that the shaft strikes the kobold, knocking it back but not really doing any real damage.

"Think? Wot good that e'er do anyone?" Krueger grumbles in annoyance from his kobold perch.

"It has been weeks since the kobolds have raided our towns regularly now. The events we've heard may not be related... we have no way of knowing at this point." Jaeden points out.

"But does that change the fact that hobgoblins are driving the kobolds out?" Gemble jumps in.

"Looks like a army, ta me. From there, they kin strike at many a villiage an' town this side o' lake Enber." The dwarf adds.

Meanwhile, the slightly healed kobold speaks out to his people. Jaeden then translates, "He says that they should let us speak our proposal... and I might add that his exact words were "Let the murderers speak" when he referred to us."

"You will release the captain NOW or the wrath of all Kobolds will fall upon you." The Lieutenant growls in common, eyeing Korbin and Sonrik distastefully.

 

[Tonguez]

"so the Hobs are using the kobold holes to strike Enber from below?" Erlik grimaces his unease clear. "and we are suppose to beleive their words without proof!" he continues, eying the growing assemblage of kobolds, his weapon held ever ready
"ask that of their leader - should we release the captain what guarantee do we have against treachery?"
