[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 6740399, member: 18333"] Session 8 About 2 ½ hours We walked to the north west into another part of the caves and Mily got poisoned with some hallucinogen. None of us were affected, and eventually Grim saw that it was caused by some strange runes on the ground. Meanwhile, we had our hands full fighting three blue drakes. Brevick got pretty much surrounded, but he fended off as many attacks as possible while Grim, Strix and I fought beside him. Mily followed some imaginary butterflies. Later she started swatting at imaginary butterflies with her swords. For one or two brief moments she became lucid and was able to cut into one of the drakes, but after that she backed off, curled into a ball and went to sleep. We all got banged up pretty badly, and I got hit by one of the drake’s tail thrashes and went unconscious. Then Brevick went down. Grim was able to finish off the last drake. Then he rummaged through Mily’s bag gently to find a healing potion which he administered to me. When I came to, I cured Brevick, but we were all still pretty hurt so we decided to go back to where we encountered Troglodytes earlier in a room filled with refuse. We had to all take running jumps to clear the area were the runes were, but we were successful. We were able to rest for about an hour. Grim came up with a great idea so that we could get back over the strange runes. We rummaged through the garbage to find some wooden planks that we set up over the runes. Then we walked over them. We found an upper area and a lower area, with a locked door at the end of a stair to the lower area. The key was hung on the wall. The upper area had an overlook that looked into the lower area, which had an animal smell to it. Brevick looked up ahead in the dark and saw some poles with rope nooses at the end of them, and he found a stairway going up. Grim inspected the stairway and found many little dragonoid footprints, Kobolds. We went up the stairs and most of us made it through a passage when Mily triggered another trap. This time rocks came tumbling down on Mily and Strix. Mily tumbled forward under Grim and avoided some of the rocks, but Strix was hit hard. After the rock fall, we moved into a chamber with a passage to the left and an open area straight ahead. We were all concerned with traps, so we kept looking at the ground as we walked. Mily scouted ahead and was the first to see the kobolds and their winged breatheren. She hid behind me and fired her crossbow at one of the little monsters, killing it in one vicious shot before the rest of us could act. The winged kobolds flew towards us and attacked as many other kobolds threw daggers from afar. We were outnumbered, but we battled on. I was able to unleash the power of Silvanus to damage and throw back a number of the winged kobolds giving us a little breathing room. Strix created a flaming sphere to help us while Mily used her sneak attack to cull the ranks. Brevick smashed some of them with distracting blows as Grim hacked at them with his greataxe. Eventually we killed all but two. I advanced on one and started to question it. It told me little I didn’t already know, this cave complex was a dragon hatchery. Mily killed it quickly. Then I shouted out to save the last one. We needed to get more information for Leosin. Grim ran to the remaining kobold and interposed himself between it and Brevick to keep anyone from killing the little green monster. Then I walked up to it and began to interrogate it….. (End of Session) At this point we are pretty exhausted, I have 1 first and 1 second level spell slot left, and I think the wizard has about the same. Most of us have used at least 2 of 3 HD. We'll be planning an exit strategy so that we can find a place to take an extended rest. A few days earlier, we had found and used a small cave outside in the valley where the Dragon Queen's army had been camping. That might serve. Depending on how much we learn from the kobold, we may even take that information back to Leosin since he wanted us to get more information and was willing to pay for it. We'll see what we can learn.
