IT COMES!  I'LL RIP OFF THEM SPIDER'S LEGS AND SHOVE 'EM WHERE IT'LL SPOIL YER AIM, BLONDIE!""Feng, Feng, Feng, Feng.... pull em to bits bud" chortles Rizzit"With my teeth!" responds Feng"With whatever you like" agrees the kobald.The dwarf interrupts "Oh no! Who opened the door before I'd tidied up?" and Feng grits his teeth to control his building rage. "That...would.. be.. me. Why?" asks Feng."I just don't like to leave jobs unfinished. It's just very . . . untidy!" is the dwarfs response."You'll make someone a fine wife" says Feng in disgust"There's nothing wrong with order in your life." Compains Biba"Please make sure I can get to the front or someone is gonna get a very warm back" Rizzit advises the other party members. "Yeah! Piss on them Muckers, Rizz!" agrees Feng.Bibabobalobalos appears shocked "Really, the language of some young adventurers today!" but "Suck it up beardy" is Feng’s only response.Bibabobalobalos mumbles, "I hate repeating myself." He shakes his head. "No respect for their elders, some people," he continues to mumble."Alright” calls Feng, ”Earn my respect. Down one of these muckers!""You flank it and I'll down it. It's what I do!" offers the dwarf"Did you bring owt to stand on? Or do yas have a spear? I don't reckon that wee bodkin is gonna reach these big buggers." Laughs Feng"And can someone kick Beltain awake?" asks Feng looking round "I'd do it myself but I'm afraid I'll get carried away."Bibabobalobalos "I think Limara may have Alarm Clock revised or something! If not I think Beltain is asleep for the duration." Frowns.Rizzit "You do flanking? I just thought you slept in battle" still catching up on the conversation."They will not get the advantage this time. I am wise to their game." The dwarven thief responds. "And also hiding at the back" quips Rizzit"This time I will not fall victim as has poor Beltain." Says the dwarf, launching into a speech "What? I stride forward and deal the enemy great wrath and furious vengeance!  It is their snide tricks that have brought me low these past two encounters.""And a weak constitution" interjects the kobald  "It’s lucky kobolds and half orcs are made of sterner stuff than dwarves and humans seem to be""Snipe not wee one,” advises the dwarf “there is plenty of time to come good yet.""Just kidding with you Bib, my spirits are high and the thrill of battle is once more upon us, let us rejoice in these blissful days" Rizzit reassures the frowning dwarf."Yes! Let us rid Faerun of this vile plague, onward brave snipeling!" is the dwarf’s response."HooRAR, and back in time for tea and scones" Rizzit laughs. "And dwarf bread!" says Bibabobalobalos. "Now your just being silly" Rizzit says"And what's wrong with dwarf bread? Puts hairs on your face does dwarf bread!" asks ibabobalobalos "Many a hearth guard has sworn blind on dwarf bread. Why, my own mother had a plait longer than this," he shakes his own beard, "And she ate dwarf bread every day of her life.""Actually chaps I have some nice scones in my pack. And some lovely clotted cream and strawberry jam too. Once we have finished with this unpleasantness, maybe we could have some Tiffin?" says Nosnibor, interrupting the exchange."I repeat, do not block up the front rank, I am going to go forward and will be frying stuff so unless you want to be bbq'd leave me room" repeats Rizzit while, as if bored by Rizzit's tirade Beltain snores gently."Best thing would be get at the front and stick your size 10s on sleeping beauty to stop them getting past the front line" an annoyed Rizzit says to nobody in particularThe dwarf moves rapidly towards the drow and spiders arriving just short of the sleeping Beltain and flourishes his rapier threateningly at the spiders.Coleridge sighs "Must we always argue so?  It makes us look so unprofessional in front of the people we are about to slaughter".  "Don't worry Cole” Feng laughs “They'll only have a poor opinion for an extremely limited time."But the bard is not to be put off and responds "That may be, but we should maintain some standard don't you think. I know if it was me I wouldn't want to be slaughtered by some rank amateur""I agree.” Nosnibor interjects “We could certainly try and maintain some standard. And we could be politer about things.  Limara. As you are our last standing cleric I feel that it would be pertinent to guard your person against the sleep inducing range attacks of the drow. I will thus shroud you in a mystical force field that should protect you against their crossbow bolts. I hope it works. Thus you will be able to stay in the combat for longer and be able to heal those around you. I hope you chaps see this as a useful utility of my mostly non-combative range of memorised spells?".  So saying The Wizard Nosnibor casts protection from normal Missiles on Limara.  "Thank you Nos' , that is indeed a most useful utility spell " responds the female cleric.Drow 2 draws another bolt and fires at Feng but misses."I hope we get one of Col rousing battle songs now" says the kobald, revealing an artistic side as yet unseen"I think a poem is indeed in order, my eager art loving kobold" smiles Coleridge and he takes a 5' step back as he begins his recitation"Just observe him, the centre of attraction ""Confident of his prowess, shown by his action.""An unparalleled charisma, judging by the results""his prey, they come to him, their integrity he insults " Feng's veins begin to pulse and his muscles bulge, as the Barbarian goes into a RAGE!" He strikes hard, putting the power of his might frame into a full cut.Massively wounding the spider facing him."GNAGH!" he shouts and smiles at the drow archer "You're next!" he says "FENG IS HERE! FENG KILLS!"One of the rearmost monstrous spiders moves to a wall and climbs up onto the ceiling... (the ceiling is approx 10' up)Rizzit points his wand and says "Joke" A 15ft cone of flames shots out hitting a drow and two of the spiders. The drow and one of the spiders crumple before the flames while the remaining spider is badly singed."Toast them buns' Rizzit!" calls Feng. "ROAAARRR!""Take some of that hairy bastards" crows the kobard sorcerer."I say chaps. Things look like they're getting dreadfully thrilling up there." Notes Nosnibor from the rear of the party."Feel free to come and join us Mr Nosnibor, it sure is fun over here" says Rizzit sourly and then turning to rest rest of the party "You should have seen the way the hairs on this spider all flared up when the flames hit him, all sparkly like""I will certainly endeavour to assist in a constructive way oh magically talented Rizzit. I was perhaps going to try an incapacitating spell upon the remaining drow. If I can bypass his magic resistance." Suggests Nosnibor."Not web, please promise you won’t use web" Rizzit says in alarm."As I have previously mentioned. Web restricts the vision too much. The spell I had in mind is called Tasha's Hideous Laughter. A rather prohibitive prestidigitation if it lands. It involves telling a terrible joke. Do you know any?"Limara moves gracefully in behind the barbarian and casts a Shield of Faith on him. "This shield of faith should compensate for your Raging weakness Feng,” she tells him “Hold them at the door and I will use crossbow fire to pick off the ones at the back. That’s if pyro boy leaves us any ... ", she looks down at Rizzit, currently fiddling with his stick and smiling."Thanks for the shield, Limara” responds Feng “My natural tough frame can shrug off most stuff, but I'm touched that you thought of me. Now, back to the Killing!"The second spider throws a sticky web towards the dwarf but misjudges the height and misses. The spider in front of Feng bites him, but Feng is able to resist the poison effects.."Come and join us up here Bob, your missing the fun" teases Rizzit and turning to his familiar “Wizzy keep up will you, stay at my side at all times please, you are my extra eyes and ears little friend""So chaps.” Says Nosnibor “Would it be a sensible tactic for me to attempt to incapacitate the remaining Drow? Then we can ask him some questions. However I will only do this if we agree not to Murder him afterwards. Perhaps once we have captured him we can leave him tied up or something. What do you chaps say?""Best save the spell then, I am not leaving any of these sneaky murdering bastards behind" Rizzit says savagely.Bibabobalobalos takes a step forward, protecting the fallen cleric and strikes at the spider facing him.  His rapier evades the creatures defences and it is heavily wounded"Nicely done Bob" admits Rizzit grudgingly while Feng nods approvingly at the Dwarf "Stumpy is awake, it seems - strike hard, little one - I think you are tickling the spider.""Oi! Nosi!” Feng calls to the elf at the rear of the party “Try that spell on the Drow anyway - he's gonna die so it might as well be when he's happy, rather than widdlin' his pants in terror." And then shouts "FENG KILLS! FENG IS HERE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!""Are you good at tumbling, Rizzit?" asks the dwarf, "Dunno,” relies Rizzit “First time for everything""Are you quick of finger and foot?" continues the drarf, "I am small, quick and slipperier than a well buttered eel" boasts the kobald."Lovely.” Concludes the dwarf “Maybe you could jump, twist and jink past the two spiders then."."I dint think I am that good, I need the spider in front of you taken down first" the kobald explains.Bibabobalobalos nods "I'll try my best, Rizzit, I'll try my best.""I will try this spell anyway.” calls Nosnibor “But only to see if it successfully works against these dark elves."  The Wizard Nosnibor tells his target the really old joke about how he used to be a werewolf but he's alright NOWooooooooH! The drow looks puzzled but is otherwise unaffected by the spell. It fires at Feng but misses"Oh golly.” compains Nosnibor “I really hoped that that would have incapacitated that Drow. I suppose Feng will just have to hack him into tiny little pieces. As is his forte."Coleridge steps forward behind Rizzit to fire over the little kobolds head and hits the beast squarely.  It topples over dying."Balanced upon a thread of life ""his movements are sure, they bear no strife ""having eight eyes, and eight legs, how bizarre!""He is the king of his realm, a self made Tzar.""It's so nice to have a companion who is so lyrical” Nosnibor tells the bard “And artistically minded Mister Coleridge. You're such a lovely chap."Feng swings his huge axe against the spider in front of him and hits it massively wounding it.  "MIGHTY FENG SMITES HARD!" shouts Feng smiling broadly.  "My! Mister Feng really is a rather savage chap.” Says Nosnibor approvingly “In a nice way.  Obviously.""Mister Feng is a rather large bugger with a rather large axe doing what he does best!" agree the dwarf.  Feng is angered by the dwarf’s patronising tone "WHO ARE YOU CALLIN' A BUGGER, SLEEPY? MUCK OFF! FENG KILLS!" he shouts"Yep, very effectively, I'd say. Carry on the good work, sir." Agrees the dwarf cowed.The spider on the ceiling drops to the floor, and moves to attack.“Hmm,” muses Rizzit “A conundrum I think, what to do now”.  A fiery ray shots out from Rizzit’s hand missing the spider facing him.  Rizzit curses loudly in kobald."Lady luck is not with me today" he says dodging the spiders flailing fangs. Limara picks up her shield, steps north of Feng and takes a mighty swipe at the spider with her sword. killing it instantly.Only a single drow and one of the spiders remain of their attackers</blockquote>
