Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Melhved Brombriar
Feeling beaten and burned, Melhved searches for Mother's touch. "Is this where I am to fall, Mother? If this is where I am to be, I accept, but I will not end without your clear wishes." She wraps herself in Mother's power and glows with primal force. A spectral visage of a wolf enfolds her as she steps carefully towards the acid-breather. "See what true majesty lives in the wild, beyond your desires of evil or avarice! Behold the Winter's Herald calls to you!" With a chilling howl, she swings about her leaving an icy trail that covers the trail around her.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
The kobold away from the group yells a command to the others.
Spoiler: For those who know draconic"Attack their healer, he's vulnerable!"
The other kobolds clearly follow the command, with how much their tactics change. Both of them leave themselves open to counterattacks in order to attack Drang. This pays off, as they inflict enough damage to draw blood.
Having been given an opportunity to flank, the third kobold charges at Drang. Fortunately, he deftly blocks this strike.
Spoiler: Game ActionsK3's Turn:
Move: Walk around Drang to the south. (This provokes an opportunity attack from Drang.)
Standard:Slash at Drang with a shortsword.
Attack Roll: (1d20+8)[25] (+7 base, +1 mob attack). Hit.
Hit: (1d6+3)[5] damage, and Drang is marked until the end of K3's next turn.
K2's Turn:
Standard:Slash at Drang with a shortsword. (This violates Melhved's mark)
Attack Roll: (1d20+6)[22] (+7 base, +1 mob attack, -2 violation of Melhved's mark). Hit.
Hit: (1d6+3)[9] damage, and Drang is marked until the end of K2's next turn. (This overrides K3's mark.)
K1's Turn:
Move: Move northeast a bit to get a better charge line.
Standard:Charge at Drang with a shortsword.
Attack Roll: (1d20+10)[12] True value of 14 (+7 base, +2 mob attack, +1 charge, +2 CA via flanking (forgot to apply before rolling)). Miss.
Hit: (1d6+3)[4] damage, and Drang is marked until the end of K1's next turn.
Everyone will take a turn, then the kobolds will take their turns.

With the caster going down, Sarathi turned back to the dragonshields- to find one nicely flanked for her. Still feeling the surge from earlier, she dropped her guard, winding up a powerful blow.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Melhved Brombriar
Filled with Mother's grace as the Winter's Herald, Melhved continues to leave a wake of frost wherever she treads. Looping around the gnoll, she comes at the kobold from behind. "The Winter Wolf never relents!" The startled kobold turns and blocks the goliath's sword.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Drang formulates his most brilliant plan ever:

Attack K1 from flanking
Slide to get out of flanking.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
With a stern look, the kobold next to Melhved convinces their last remaining compatriot to keep fighting despite the odds. He takes up a position next to his ally in an attempt to keep both from being surrounded, and they attack Melhved in tandem. Their slashes reopen wounds Drang's magic had sealed shut.

Attack Roll: (1d20+8)[23] vs AC (+7 base, +1 mob attack). Hit.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Melhved Brombriar
Wavering on her feet, the warden refuses to surrender, willing to give all to keep her group safe. She staggers back with caution, then reaches out with tendrils of Mother's love and tries to grab the nearest kobold, but her waning power is unable to find purchase. She stands resolute to accept the fate of Nature's law.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Drang sends positive thoughts and positive energy toward Melhved (surge+8) and swings at K3, wondering what the kobold word for surrender is. If he hits, Sarathi will get 3 temp hp.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC

"How dare you, coward!" The goliath's thundering footsteps are not far behind those of Sarathi, her wolf aspect giving her charge a galloping feel. No Mother's grace or love fills her swing this time. Nothing but raw disdain for a cowardly retreat. Her blade cuts deep into the dragonling's side, separating muscle from bone as it cleaves through. The body falls and slides to a halt in the dirt.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Spoiler: OOCThe last enemy was killed, so combat has concluded. You each get 156 experience points (625 divided evenly between four characters, rounded down).
You're free to take a short rest.
Looking around, you see no signs of further combatants in the area.
Taking an inventory of your defeated foes' belongings, you find 5 gp, 23 sp, three shortswords, three suits of scale armor, three heavy shields, two spears, a light shield, a suit of leather armor, a suit of hide armor, the caster's bone mask, and a necklace. An obsidian dragon figurine dangles from the necklace, and on the bottom you see a skull with the horns of a ram etched in.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Regan frowns at the death of the last kobold. She held her fire because its death would be a waste. But she could not fault her friend from killing it anyways. After recollecting her arrows, she takes 1 gold and 5 silver. She also takes the necklace if no one objects and puts it in her backpack. She does not know what it represents but it might be useful later on. She reminds herself to visit the local temple when they get back to Winterhaven. Then she readies herself to prepare to go to the Dragon Burial Site.

Melhved packs up the items that they may be able to sell in town, her wolf-like visage fading as the battle subsides. She cleans her sword as she watches the cleric create a pyre for the dead bodies. The goliath tends to her wounds, gives her thanks to Mother for her guidance, and readies to move on.

Drang prepares the little pyre and speaks the words of peace in dwarven, not knowing any Koboldish. "You are at peace now. No more pain, suffering, or torment."
He also needs a healing surge, but is ready to move on, a little more carefully.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
The rest of your trip to the burial site goes smoothly. Moving from the road to unpaved wilderness slows you down a bit, but not more than expected. The sun hangs high in the sky as you arrive, although not at its peak.
There, you see a steep-sided crater punctured into the wilderness. Near the center, several humanoid figures cluster around a collection of bones. Two small, dragonlike creatures stare at your approach from a rim jutting towards the crater's center. A halfling watches the proceedings from the westernmost rim.
One of the figures notices you, and moves to get a better look at you. He calls out, "Who are you four, and why are you here?"Link to true signature

The goliath looks over the crater and the occupants within. She is unimpressed with the rude reception. She takes a closer look at what the people are doing with the bones. Bones means something was once alive.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
The bones are contained within a 25ft by 25ft outline of rocks, and their size and shape suggest that they were part of a dragon while alive. Taking a closer look, you can see that the figure speaking to you is a gnome, while the others in the crater are humans. The humans continue to pack up the digging equipment strewn about the crater as the gnome awaits a reply.
They've almost finished packing up, yet nothing stands out as the thing they're looking for. Boxes of equipment are orderly piled along the northeastern edge of the crater. On the other side of the crater, just below the halfling, you can see a blanket thrown over a vaguely humanoid shaped object.Link to true signature

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
As Drang begins to advance, the gnome vocally interrupts him. "I can't let you distract any of my workers, but I am willing to give you a tour of the site to prevent that from happening. Come down into the crater without talking to anybody else and I'll let you properly appreciate what we discovered."
Neither the workers nor the gone react to Melhved's comment.
Spoiler: For those who make a DC 29 Insight checkWhat he's saying is partly true, but even the true parts have an ulterior motive behind his decision to say it. He doesn't want his workers distracted, but isn't willing to give out a tour. He wants to draw you into the crater, but not for the reason he said.
He wasn't able to overhear or translate Melhved's comment.Last edited by TurboGhast; 2020-08-08 at 02:45 PM.
