The Ancient Paths - Path II

"Sheaka!" Sabriel spits, knowing that Tymora sure wasn't with her today. She races back towards the others as fast as she can, hoping that they expect her to get into some sort of trouble and act accordingly. As soon as she's within the relative saftey of the group, she'll turn and start firing at the kobolds.

Dowkan curses as he hears the evidence of Sabriel being compromised. He immediately looks to find a way to prevent the kobolds entering the sniper's nest and moves in that direction.
 

Cursing under his breath at the situation that's developed, Nae'talis will position himself near a choke point where the kobolds should eventually come through and cast color spray when they are close enough.
 

Seeing Nae’talis take up position where he has a direct view of the rampaging Kobolds. Hrolf takes up a defensive position next to the caster. ”Do what you have to do and than get behind me.”

[sblock] first of all I would like to apologies for my lack of posting, the last few weeks at work where pretty hectic - but that’s no excuse, plus for the last 2 weeks if been on vacation (yes I have a normal internet connection and computer here) so there is no reason for me not to post. In all farness I just forgot or was too lazy. I feel that I’m doing a big injustice to the game, Legildur and Kirinke (two very good players and frequent posters.)
If you guy’s want me to I’ll temporally or permanently bow out of the game to make room for someone else. I know that Hip has a really good alt in the starting blocks to pick up the slake. I would really hate for the game to die, just because of me procrastinating.
I’ll talk it over with Hip to see when and how he wants Hrolf to die/disappear.[/sblock]

Dowkan hustles over to the ledge with the snipernest above and finds it would be hard for him to reach from the beach. He stands guard underneath.
Nae'talis steps lively to the other side of the tunnel's mouth and prepares his spell.
Hrolf joins him, readying his weapons in the mage's defense.
A few moments go by before Sabriel dashes past her waiting companions and turns in time to see her dragonkin pursuers round the bend in the tunnel.
When the kobolds get in range in their charge, Nae'talis unleashes the dazzling spectacle of his spell on the unsuspecting creatures. When the clouds of swirling colors settle and dissipate, nine kobolds lay on the ground twitching and unconscious. The six remaining standing look around for new targets and move to attack.

Hrolf stands ready sword in hand, waiting for any of the Kobolds to venture to close to his position.

[sblock] +6 Melee, Long Sword, 1d8+2[/sblock]
 

Nodding, satisfied with his work, Nae'talis swings his staff at the nearest kobold.

[sblock]+1 (1d6, 20/x2, Quarterstaff)[/sblock]
 

~ The Adventurers ~

Three of the conscious kobolds wielding spears clamor over to Dowkan and poke at him fruitlessly. The other kobold spearman swings his spear at Hrolf like a quarterstaff to no avail.
Hrolf stabs forward with his longsword and skewers the attacking kobold in the throat (9 Damage). It goes limp after a few seconds of clawing at the steel.
Nae'talis looks around at the kobolds squirming on the ground, knocked out by his spell, and plants the butt of his staff squarely in the chest of the one closest to him (5 Damage).
Dowkan brings his magical axe up over his head and brings it down hard on the kobold directly in front of him (8 Damage 4 Cold). He turns the axe's downward chop into a backhanded bludgeon to the next kobold's face (11 Damage 1 Cold).
Sabriel draws her bow fluidly and fires an arrow at one of the opposing archers. The missile flies above its head and cracks into the cave wall beyond.
Both standing kobold archers fire back at Sabriel. One quarrel soars out towards the lake and the other settles into the bard's thigh (3 Damage).
A sound begins to rumble up through the cave tunnel, much like that of the kobolds' charge. Reinforcements are on their way...
