The Ancient Paths - Path II

Dowkan spits on the corpse of the duegar he just downed and then nods at Sabriel, half in question as to whether she is okay. He then moves to the stirring kobolds and sets about finishing the grizzly business.

Nae'talis sharply throws an arm out at his side, towards one of the archers, not even bothering to watch as his spell hits the creature, instead looking around for the next one.

Sabriel painfilled grin answers the dwarf, she's in bad shape, what with the arrow and the banged up leg. "I'll live," she managed. "Go take care of the kobolds alright?" she said.
 

~ The Adventurers ~

The opposition is clearly no match for the joint efforts of Dowkan and Rygus and a little from Nae'talis. All of the remaining kobolds are killed while still at a loss of wits.

[sblock=OOC]I forgot my notes at work, so I'll post a current party status tomorrow morning EST.
Feel free to loot and welcome the new member :D

One duergar carries a large diamond and several gems cut into coin shapes. Dowkan and Rygus can easily recognize them to be duergar currency. Sabriel can place their purpose by recalling a tidbit of knowledge she learned concerning the Underdark.
The other duergar carries a buckler with gold and silver runes inlaid on its inner and outer facing.
Each kobold has an Outer God holy symbol.
Everything else is mundane.[/sblock]
 

"That thing wasn't a demon." Sabriel said, looking embaressed, but thoughtful too. "And it wasn't exactly an illusion either." she said, once her wounds had been treated.

And I fell for it. If I hadn't panicked, Hrolf would still be with us. Wouldn't he? she thought guiltily, even though she knew intellectually that if she had stayed she'd be dead too, sucked up in that whirlpool thing..
 

Raising the visor of his helm up, Rygus wiped the end of his hammer off on the leathers that the tunnel rats wore. While it only seemed to smear the stain better than removing it, it would have to do for now.

Keeping his shield ready to be raised and his hammer ready to used, he called out to the dwarven leader.

[sblock=Dwarven]"I invoke the peace of the stones to speak with you and wish to know what Hall I have found myself in."[/sblock]
 

Frowning at the battle carnage, Dowkan slowly comes to his senses as the victors gather. "Now I be wantin' som' answers," the waraxe-wielding dwarf mutters as he cleans his axe with a cloth. "What, by Moradin's left boot, happened to Hrolf? I saw sometin'. Or I thought I did."

"And who in the nine hells are ya?"
he asks jabbing the head of the waraxe towards the newcomer. "Not that ya help weren't noticed."
 

Nae'talis mumbles some words under his breath, quietly examining the items in the defeated's possession, all the while keeping part of his attention on the exchange between Dowkan and the new arrival.

[sblock=ooc]My apologies, but I've only just seen that Rygus posed a question in dwarvish.[/sblock][sblock=dwarven to Rygus]"Aye, brother. I dunno where ya be from, or how ya got 'ere, but I be Dowkan. And I dunno what this place be called. Only that we have work to do 'ere."[/sblock]Dowkan moves across to check on the fragile Sabriel. "How ya farin' lass?" he asks in his typical gruff tone. "You don't look like ya be walkin' anywhere soon now. Not with a leg like that!"
 

Sabriel snorts and winces in pain. "Shouldda listened to my teachers. Dodge when you see an arrow come your way. And don't irritate a dark dwarf none."
