Don't be scared. We're with brave adventurers now."Boge scouts ahead of the party, moving into the large dark cavern.  His darkvision scanning the area.  Suddenly, he spots Goblins.  A sound of screeching goblins suddenly fills the cavern."Oh, good! Goblins!" says Bibabobalobalos  "There's a lot of them so form lines so they can't get behind us!" he advises.Limara scans the area, but she can only see as far as the light shed from her sword, Justice.  "Are they coming from both directions? can anyone see or hear?"Sparhawk grips his sword "Just a walk in the park neighbours" he says in a stern whisper.Limara turns to the warrior "Spar, do we block both corridors with two groups of four? or take them on mass here as we are..... how do you want to play this out?"Sparhawk replies"At this time we cannot discern from which directions they may come ...I suggest we let them come to us for this moment"Limara nods "...agreed  ....". She shouts to bob "BOB...pull back next to Feng, dont get caught on your own...""Once we are set, I have no doubt we will be able to hold our own....Tis sometimes best to let the opposing offense commit their forces before deploying ones own" Sparhawk says with an air of authorityLimara replies"in this case, being goblins i think you're right to choose that tactic.... you hold the frontline steady and i'll make sure you dont fall...."Sparhawk grins "This is the first true confrontation I have had since being a puppet, I have no intention of falling and plan to make my strikes true"Limara laughs..."thats the way to do it.....sorry.....yes it will be a joy to fight as a cleric and not as a toy""Alas tis a shame my old comrade Faran will miss the fun again...he will be most displeased, but then again he always was bad tempered" Sparhawk says with rye smile, his eyes dancing in both directions watching for the oncomming assaultFeng shouts "HA! GOBLINS! FENG IS HERE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!…Thank Gruumsh! At last, a real fight, if only against these little bastards." Feng hefts his new double-axe. "And what name will I give you at the end of this? Goblin chewer? Head cleaver? Terror-by dark? I just hope it will not be shirks-to-bite. Come, my new friend. Lets drink together." Feng begins to feel his rage build.. Beltain turns to the bard “Hey Cole - when we get an audience maybe they would like to hear that flute we found way back?  I wonder if goblins like music?”"Better play quick, then - while they still have their ears." Snorts Feng.Coleridge nods "Your right Beltain, i think a nice tune may be in order.. but let us wait till our audience has the best seats in the house"Beltain laughs "I'm sure that your performance will be remembered for the rest of their lives.   Their very short lives!"The Wizard Nosnibor] "Perhaps if we tried to talk to them? You know Goblins are very intelligent. And can be quite sensitive in their own way."Rizzit turns to the wizard "Mr Nos we blast now talk later.  Best tactic with goblins believe me"The Wizard Nosnibor shouts out in a Goblinoid language "Don't attack us. We come in peace."BATTLE WITH THE GOBLINSThe Party fight the goblins.  The goblins have two shamans with them, and a leader.  One of the shamans casts a Silence spell at the party, which initially proves very annoying.  Rizzit goes to work with sleep spells, and Coleridge uses the magical flute “The Fifth Wind” to great effect.  The Wizard Nosnibor uses a Web spell to ensnare the leader, and also summons a beetle to the parties aid.  Sparhawk and Feng wade in to the Goblin attackers.  Bibabobalobalos thrusts his rapier, And Limara summons her spiritual weapon.  Beltain assists by attacking and casting healing spells.   Soon the party is victorious.  Several goblins lie asleep from Rizzit’s spell.  The party discusses questioning the goblins, before they can however, several black dwarves appear from one of the tunnels connected to the mine.  Duergar!.  The duergar spot the party and see the sleeping and dead Bloodweb Goblins.  “Bloodweb goblins!..the treaty has been broken…and we have upworlders here” they shout before attacking the party.BATTLE WITH THE DUERGARThe party fights the deep dwarves.  Some of the duergar grow in size as they advance on the party.  The party is also surprised when several duergar appear out of thin air and attack them.  It seems they can cast invisibility.The battle rages for a while, but the party once again defeat their foes without too much difficulty.THE PARTY SPLITSAfter the party defeats the Goblins and Duergar they have a brief recce around.  Rizzit locates swarms of spiders in a room full of debris and is hurt badly.  Bibabob locates a map and a segment of a diary in a room to the east that seems to have been occupied by Drow.  The party takes the loot outside and loads it onto the wagon.  There a lively discussion ensues, Walter does not wish to wait around whilst the party rest again before they explore deeper in the mines. Rizzit tries to change his mind with the use of a charm person, Limara nullifies its effects, and several members of the party are appalled at Rizzit’s actions.  Spar, Limara, Belt, Nos, and Cole decide to escort Walter and Dierdre to the nearby town of Immersea, a mere 8 hours away.  They have promised to return after they have dropped Walter and Dierdre off.  Walter and Dierdre will be staying with friends in Immersea, the Wyvenspur family.  They will wait for the party to return, and continue on with them to Suzail.  Bibabob, Feng and Rizzit follow the mine tracks back into the Mithril Mines..<img src="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tariff/Duergar%20attack%20nos.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Duergar Attack in the Mithril Mines<img src="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tariff/ensnared%20gobs.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Goblin Leader ensnared by Nosnibor's Web</blockquote>
