Rise of the Runelords IC

[u-b]

Justin moves towards the barricade and does not slow down, jumping over it in one great leap, almost reaching the cave ceiling. He lands on his feet on the other side, faced with, as far as he can see, three reptiloids equipped with javelins. Lizuga, Iris and Lebwen approach the barricade a bit more carefully. Even despite the cavern's very strong stench, Lizuga and Iris recognize a familiar scent, also quite strong near the barricade - that one of lamp oil! Adalbert trails behind, giving some late advise.

"These must be the Troglodytes! They probably don't know Common. I can try talking to them... oh!"

The last "...oh!" was said as a reaction to what the troglodytes did - they seemingly ignored Justin, drew one clay flask each and threw them - at the barricade! The barricade quickly catches on and is soon all aflame, cutting Justin from the rest of the party!

Areas marked on the map are the burning barricade and the illumination from Lebwen's dancing lights.

Crossing the burning barricade is possible with:
Jump DC 30 at normal speed (normally done with a running start)
Acrobatics DC 20 at difficult terrain speed
Climb DC 5 at climb speed (requires at least one hand free)
(partial success will get you part way there)

Iris is currently invisible.

"Don't fear the flames!" urges Iris to Lizuga as she draws on her divine faith to shield the warrior woman, "Looks like the lad could do with some help". She steps, still invisible, next to Lizuga and touches her shoulder, mystic blessings protecting the larger woman.

"Well I guess our options have narrowed." Looking at the barricade starting to go up in flames and Justin trapped with the angry troglodytes, Lebwen looks at the options to clear the barrier, he hesitates for a second then jumps forward and starts climbing over the barrier and wall, avoiding the flames as best as possible.

[u-b]

Iris casts a protective spell on Lizuga, who immediately starts to climb the barricade as fast as she can. She makes it only halfway through, when some haphazardly arranged branches give in and she has to spend time getting ontop of it again. Justin attacks the nearest troglodyte in a deep lunge, piercing the creature's chest straight through. The blood is pulsing from the wound when Justin pulls out his sword, and the troglodyte collapses to the ground. Lebwen casts a spell that would facilitate easier climbing. He has to climb over the burning barricade and the flame actually reaches quite high, so he still takes 6 fire damage doing so, but he reckons he would be burned even worse if he would not switch to climb the cave wall as soon as possible as it seems to be even worse down there where Lizuga is. Adalbert does not dare to storm the barricade and instead just gives some advice. "The troglodytes normaly fight with spears, claws and bites. Try not to get yourselves surrounded!"

The buring barricade emits a lot of hot smoke and a strong stench of something foul burning. The troglodytes to the west throw javelins at Justin. He barely sees more of them approaching in the shadow of the cave and there are total of 6 javelins thrown, two of which hit Justin for 5 and 7 damage.

Iris utters an uncharacteristic curse at the situation, frustrated at being cut off. She can hear the battle just beyond, but can't see a thing beyond the barricade.

Lebwen climbs across the wall as quickly as possible and jumps down beside Justin. He takes a very brief moment to make sure none of his clothes are on fire, then pulls his sword. "I'm right behind you Justin, lets teach this lizards it's not nice to attack guests"

[u-b]

Justin moves forward and lunges at the nearest troglodyte, stabbing him in the chest and leaving him on the ground clutching the wound and bleeding profusely. Iris steps back from the barricade, not doing much of anything except signalling her position and presence to otherwise lone Adalbert, who continues to give decreasingly relevant advice as the most relevant advice was already given and the fight has moved outside of Adalbert's line of sight. Lizuga and Lebwen hurry to Justin's side, the former also taking care of the man's wounds.

The troglodytes counterattack, charging and swarming in from the darkness, but only one attack of the lot is any good, namely a claw across Justin's face for 4 damage.

Lizuga's attack leaves a deep hole in the chest of a troglodyte, but he remains standing. A moment later justing makes a sililar-looking hole in another one, with the same effect. Controlling his dancing lights, Lebwen steps forward too. He cuts one of a troglodyte's arms off, the hapless subject passing out from the pain and extreme blood loss.

Meanwhile, Iris pokes a stick at the burning barricade. She soon concludes it would take minutes to clear the path even if done by hand. Doing it with the stick is out of question. It'll probably burn down before she's done.

The troglodytes counterattack. The one already fighting Justin with the claws makes one unsuccessfull attack and gets a stab under the chin and up, all the way to the brain. His body instantly loses support of the muscles. The other three, likely understanding they are not long for this world, drop their longspears and fight in close combat as well as they could, all concentrating on Justin, probably hoping to take someone with them. They claw and bite madly, but Justin gets away from all but one attack, getting a scratch for 3 damage.

"Well so much for the diplomatic approach. They know we're here now and will probably have better defenses set up, so lets proceed with caution.

He checks the troglodytes briefly to see if any still live, or if there are anything of value and then glances up at Lebwen. "Thanks for the lights. Would have been iffy fighting these guys in the dark." At mention of a hydra he looks at Lebwen and their halfling companion. "A hydra, what manner of beast is that? What should we watch for?".

Maybe I should be less rash next time, I don't really want to cut my way through anymore of these poor savages. Could you shout to them to surrender and that we mean no harm?"
