Alriand listens at the door and hears at least three kobolds having a conversation, while there are sounds of bones hitting the floor during the conversation. "sounds like we're past the daycare area" Alriand tells the party."Maybe we're reaching the end?" Tharhack inquires."More like we've reached the bathroom" Rebrey moves up to the door to get a listen himself. "they don't sound too close to the door, the longer we can keep them off guard, the better."Tharhack sets Bimbar on the ground about ten feet from the door. "back away, it's time for my foot to shine" as Tharhack kicks another door in. The four kobolds in the room freeze at the sound of the door breaking. One kobold who was juggling some bones lets them fall. Just before they hit the ground Tharhack clears the threshold of the doorway, and enters the room. He's followed by Rebrey who's followed by a dagger whizzing through the air to bury itself in the chest of the kobold who had been juggling. Getting a good look at the room Rebrey sees three kobolds left, and another exit on the East wall opposite the door the part just kicked in. Rebrey moves up to the kobold nearest him. Swinging his flail low, Rebrey breaks the hip of the kobold, as it's feet leave the ground, and it's body spins away in the air. Landing on it's head and crumpled in a heap. Alriand flings another dagger at the kobold furthest from Tharhack. This one opens a permanent hole in the kobold's gut. It drops to it's knees bleeding down it's waist. The last kobold turned and ran down the exit behind it, before Tharhack could get to it. Tharhack starts after it, but stops after he hears a door slam and a kobold yelling, followed by a lot more kobolds yelling back. Upset that the party may have lost their last hope, surprise, Tharhack kicks the kobold on it's knees down into the dirt floor. "This is what separates the strong from the kobolds" Tharhack says as he sits in the middle of the room and begins to pray.Alriand and Rebrey just shrug at each other. Alriand moves down the short corridor that the kobold ran down. The corridor is barely fifteen feet long but is takes a hard right curve once Alriand enters the corridor. Sure enough it ends in another door. Alriand can hear mustering kobolds behind the door, Alriand guesses the number at a least a dozen. She also hears a faint crying sound, that doesn't sound like any thing the kobold's have made. In fact it sounds like an infant. Laying down on the floor Alriand presses her face against the dirty, dusty, insect crawling floor, and tries to get a better look inside. She sees at least eight kobolds, forming a semicircle infront of two other kobolds. Focusing on these two kobolds Alriand can see one has leather armor and carries a short sword, the other has a feathered headband and a necklace of small animal skulls. There is also a small makeshift crib next to this kobold, with a baby sitting up and crying, and it's not a kobold's child. The armored kobold is barking out orders to the rest of the kobolds, obviously hoping the party rushes right into their waiting shortspears. Alriand pushes herself off the ground and sprints around the corner to the rest of the party. "looks like a well armed leader and another kobold with poor taste in accessories, are waiting for us in the next room." Alriand states."what do you mean by that?" Rebrey asks her"Anyone who would where skulls for a necklace, obviously isn't right in the head." Alriand replies."sounds like a shaman, great" Rebrey looks down the corridor."I am ready," Tharhack says, startling the rest of the party. Tharhack seems to give off a faint bluish glow around his arms, and legs, as he reaches back behind his right shoulder and unsheathes a greatsword. "I have prayed to Kord for his help, I will end this shaman's reign of terror" Tharhack then begins walking toward the passage of the shaman. "wait!" Alriand shouts. "I have a better idea"</blockquote>
