"Don't think it's going to be that easy, my fellows. Who knows what lurks near the pit? We should follow and see if our help is needed." With that, Idruma hangs her morningstar from her leather belt and moves toward the stairs, pulling a dart from within her robes as she goes.In the meantime, Zazz flat-out runs to chase down the escaping kobold. As he takes the steps two at a time, he sees the kobold crest the staircase and move around the eastern corner. As the kobold does so, he seems to gain magical speed, making it around the corner in a blur of movement. As Zazz himself rounds the corner, he also feels a supernatural burst of speed, as if he can do everything almost twice as fast as before! Surely this is some new transmutation left behind by the ancient wizard.Zazz also notes that the chamber at the top of the steps is quite large. However, a yawning chasm takes up most of it. A crude plank and rope bridge has been strung up to replace a stone bridge whose crumbled remains still jut out over the gap. The kobold continues to move, making its way quickly out into the middle of the bridge. However, Zazz is too fast for it and catches up! It will have to turn and fight or allow Zazz a free shot if it continues to flee. Before Zazz can strike or the kobold can react, the elf becomes simultaneously aware of two facts. First, the creaking bridge holds the two figures up about 40 feet over the surface of a slowly moving underground river. Second, two more kobolds stand at the end of the rope bridge. They had been looking out down the southern hallway, but are now more than aware of the mad chase taking place on the bridge![sblock=OOC]Lazarius: Delays. Will be Forceful for 3 more rounds.Kobold2: Moves.Zazz: Runs. Affected as by the haste spell for 5 rounds.Idruma: "Sheaths" morningstar. Moves, drawing a dart as she goes.Both the stairs and the rope bridge are being treated as difficult terrain.I'm going to pause here because I need to know Norbrit's action this round before the new kobolds (5 & 6) get to act.[/sblock]</blockquote>
