DRAGON'S HOARD: THE RUINS
023

The HUGE creature as much leaps as charges at Thamior. Thamior, with his readied action attempts to jump out the way of the rushing beast. The creature misses! (assumed Dodge and Full Defensive or it hits by 1) It hits the hardness with a crash. The rope Julian had is ripped from her grasp (1 non-lethal damage) and tangles up with the tripping creature. Dotson yells out "My rope! the filthy lizard has my rope!" and it and the bridge collapses into the rushing water below. Goram barely rolls free of the debris as it tears free from the land.
The dinosaur is having a terrible time trying to stand up. It is tangled in the rope and remains of the bridge with rushing water washing over most of its body.

Ksathra throws his blade but somehow misses the beast. It looks up at him and lunges to snap him up. The effort makes it trip and with a crashing splash falls and becomes entrapped under the water within the bridge which now snaps free. The dinosaur and bridge begin to roll and tumble down the raging river.

This leaves Julian and Ksathra stranded on the opposite side of Dotson, Goram and Thamior.

Unseen by anyone, the two halflings peer out from the brush. look at each in disbelief and return to hiding / disappearing.


Actions?
 


Ksathra doubles over into laughter, his arms clutching at his sides as he watches the tangeled beast go down the river. He tries to speak several times but continues just to laugh.
 

Thamior stands up, and looks at his handy work groaning as he sees that the Dinosaur has broken the bridge. He covers his face, shakes his head, and mutters to himself, "That wasn't the way it was suppose to happen......"
 

Dotson- "The damned beast took my rope and left them there while we are here! What was your plan? Let the beastie eat you?!?"


The orb records everything in silence........
 

MEANWHILE-

Viewers everywhere in the multiverse laugh a great deal with how you dealt with the huge reptile attack. Then the images on their scrying crystals lead them back to the Kobolds and their adventurers in the caves below the waterfalls.

An armored kobold (Carl) is seen struggling with something on the ground. As the scrying globe moves in you see it is a small black wyrmling. The others are trying to gather up some trophies and gems. Suddenly, the kobolds and the wyrmling stop and all look towards the entrance. The little dragon looks down at the kobold and seems to smile and nod slightly. It then turns to the entrance and begins to call out even as Carl is frantacally shaking his head "NO!".

The others take cover in various cracks in the cavern walls.
 

and still more-

The reptilian / draconic humanoids continue on. Black seems to be lagging behind. The Crown naga poison has greatly shaken him even after it was neutralized with a potion. Green points to something in the swamp. The globe zooms in on the remains of a castle. They head towards it.
 

....and finally....

SOB3 is leaning over something. He is cutting at it. The others are standing there with no obvious emotion. Done, SOB3 ties some line to the item he was cutting and hangs it up at the entrance to the cave they were exploring. Boris the Butcher is dead...and skinned.
RUMT nods once and the five of them leave for new places to explore.

The image switches to the commentators. The finely dressed elf is stunned and stumbles on his words...."we ...we will...ah.... we will be back...."

The succubus is weeping and holding her face in her arms. "... those ... monsters!" she says quietly but with venom.
