[18:05] <Kotono> A day passes after Lucas and Tyr return from the depths of the kobold infestation. Wounds are healed and damages undone, the next day dawning cloudy and cool. Under this the four gather before the boss - this time Belros is there, as well as a new woman. "Belros," he nods, "Glad to see you back," he grunts, "Alright. We got a new girl today, name's Claire. Got her transfered over so you have
[18:05] <Kotono> some more help with those kobolds. Watch out - we heard 'em rustling around in there last night."
[18:06] * Tyr grins. "Probably scurrying around in fright after I split a few of them in half."
[18:06] <Lucas> "Not to worry, I have prepared appropriately for combat with those imbeciles!" Lucas declares, tapping his crotch where he's protected by a small cup. "They won't be busting my nuts today!"
[18:06] <Claire> Claire, an undistinguished-looking brunette with short hair, gives a lazy wave. "Hey. Everybody ready to kill some monsters? I am ready to kill some monsters." This is emphasized with one fist smacked into the opposing palm.
[18:07] * Claire then proceeds to give Lucas a queer look.
[18:07] <Belros> "No, I imagine you'll do that perfectly well on your own."
[18:07] * Belros shakes his head at Lucas.
[18:07] * Lucas places a hand against his lips and makes a smacking sound as he releases a flying kiss towards the girl at her look.
[18:08] <Tyr> "You know, I wish I'da thought of that." Tyr nods at Belros. "You'll wish you had one too before this is all over. Nasty little buggers."
[18:08] <Kotono> "Enough with the nut talk," The boss grunts, "Get goin'. Those kobolds have been up to no good, I can feel it in my bad knee."
[18:08] * Claire pauses for an appraising look that clearly suggests something has been found wanting. "Try me again when you've sprouted, squirt."
[18:08] <Lucas> "To be fair, they didn't do as much damage as you tripping into a pit of spikes and me getting dragged along, you know," Lucas points out helpfully. Pausing, he adds, "Don't do that again."
[18:09] * Belros claps Claire on the shoulder.
[18:09] <Belros> "Already picking on Lucas. You'll fit right in!"
[18:09] <Claire> "Do what again?" she singsongs innocently as she struts into the dungeon she knows nothing about.
[18:09] <Kotono> Thus, the four leave the tents behind, leaving behind all the faceless support people and the Boss. To the doors of the hall you go - old doors of stone, looking sturdy. There's hints of a design on them, but the doors are mostly weathered down and smooth. They're closed again, too.
[18:10] <Tyr> "Oh, come on." Tyr stares at the doors. "I just opened them last night!"
[18:10] * Tyr sighs.
[18:10] <Claire> "Who's the muscle here?" Claire wonders, standing aside to emphasize precisely how much this is not her.
[18:10] <Lucas> "I don't see how you're one to talk, you were the one who missed the last day of work, cleric!" Lucas says with a sniff as he bounces after the girl, his eyes focused straight forward, getting a nice view along the way. Stopping once in front of the doors again, he looks over at Tyr. "Open them again then!"
[18:11] * Belros shrugs, unrepentant.
[18:11] * Tyr cracks his knuckles. "Knock, knock, you bastards!" Tyr places his palmss on the doors and with a mighty, manly grunt of manliness, pushes the doors open!


[18:12] <Kotono> Ahead lies an old hall - crumbling tapestries hang on the walls, and on either side of the room are ancient stone tombs. It goes on this way a goodly while, before coming to another stone door 200ft away.  At least, that's what one might see if they looked in yesterday. Today the coffins are all moved around, but you barely get a look! A great string is pulled back 50ft, like a giant slingshot!
[18:12] <Kotono> In it is a giant coffin, held and line quivering behind it! You can see the shadow of several kobolds behind it, and as you open the door, the coffin flies forward towards it!
[18:12] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 Flatfooted AC, Tyr?
[18:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+5 Flatfooted AC, Tyr? and gets 10." [1d20=5]
[18:13] <Tyr> OOC: 16
[18:14] <Kotono> The coffin comes flying out, Tyr caught flatfooted! But it's just a little above, soaring out overhead and landing with a shattering crash behind the four! The line now lies limp, as you can see kobolds retreating away ahead to the door with a stunning quickness, behind coffins ahead laid out like speedbumps and bunkers.
[18:14] <Tyr> "By Bel's giant balls!" Tyr roars as he ducks instinctively. "Come out and face me like you have a pair, dammit!"
[18:14] <Lucas> "...Okay, that would have been awesome if only it'd smashed into you, Tyr," Lucas admits, shaking his head as the coffin smashes behind them. "As it is, I just feel pity."
[18:15] * Claire ducks instinctively at the crash, before instantly turning to charge inside before the artillery squad can escape, rapier in hand. "You little bastards! Kiss your asses goodbye and prepare to be violated!"
[18:16] <Kotono> To these threats, the kobolds continue to retreat and out of sight. Nope, no sort of stand for t hem at all.
[18:16] <Tyr> Tyr blinks as someone other than him charges headfirst into the fray. "Oh. I think I like this new girl!"
[18:16] <Kotono> OOC: Strike.
[18:16] * Lucas takes this time to stare at Claire before shaking his head. Pointing dramatically at the kobolds, he exclaims, "After them, minions!"
[18:16] <Kotono> OOC: Missed Claire's line, just a sec.
[18:16] <Kotono> OOC: Make a spot check if you're charging in, Claire?
[18:16] <Claire> roll 1d20-3 YES
[18:16] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20-3 YES and gets 14." [1d20=17]
[18:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+4 flatfooted AC?
[18:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 flatfooted AC? and gets 12." [1d20=8]
[18:17] * Lucas shall now chase after the new girl, dog at his heels!
[18:17] <Claire> OOC: 14, yay armor
[18:17] * Tyr follows, sword drawn and shield ready!
[18:17] <Kotono> ACK! From above it comes - a dropping kobold, an oversized axe in both hands! It does a great downward chop at Claire, missing her by an inch, scraping off her armor! "You are all MINE!" he shouts! "Cut 'em all off!" OOC: Init vs the axe-kobold.
[18:18] <Claire> roll 1d20+4
[18:18] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+4 and gets 24." [1d20=20]
[18:18] <Lucas> roll d20+3 init Lucas
[18:18] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+3 init Lucas and gets 21." [d20=18]
[18:18] <Lucas> roll d20+3 init Boney
[18:18] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+3 init Boney and gets 9." [d20=6]
[18:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+7 kobold
[18:18] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+7 kobold and gets 12." [1d20=5]
[18:18] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5
[18:18] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 and gets 20." [1d20=15]
[18:19] <Belros> roll d20+4 (Init)
[18:19] * Hatbot --> "Belros rolls d20+4 (Init) and gets 9." [d20=5]

[18:19] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 10/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 13/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr 13/13 | Claire(24)>Lucas(21)>Tyr(20)>Axbold(12)>Belros=Boney(9)'

[18:20] <Kotono> OOC: Open Claire. You can see the kobold behind you has dirty leathers on and a really oversized axe for its side. There's a dangerous gleam in its eye.
[18:21] * Claire whips around to poke that nasty gleam out of its nasty little eye! "No stabbing me in the back! I don't know you well enough for that."
[18:21] <Claire> roll 1d20+6
[18:21] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+6 and gets 23." [1d20=17]
[18:21] <Kotono> OOC: That be a hit.
[18:21] <Claire> roll 1d6
[18:21] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d6 and gets 3." [1d6=3]
[18:21] <Kotono> Hit! The kobold is skewered in the shoulder, letting out a loud yelp! "OW! I'LL CUT YOUR BALLS OFF FOR THA-oh." Looking at Claire a new, "I'll cut your head off! Twice!" OOC: Lucas.
[18:22] <Claire> "How are you gonna do that, huh? Sew it back on and cut it off again? OOh, the scary kobold, master of needle and thread!"
[18:24] * Lucas swings a bullet in his sling and fires it at the kobold's left eye. "You crotch-obsessed bastards! Leave the girl's head alone!"
[18:24] <Lucas> roll d20+5
[18:24] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 and gets 21." [d20=16]
[18:24] <Kotono> OOC: That also be a hit.
[18:24] <Lucas> roll d3-1
[18:24] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d3-1 and gets 2." [d3=3]
[18:25] <Kotono> Clang! Direct hit! The kobold takes a rock off the side of the head, making it wobble! The blow is enough to dizzy it, sputtering out blood! OOC: Tyr ,go.
[18:26] <Tyr> "You smarmy sons of a whore thought you could kill ME with a flimsy little coffin!? I'm downright OFFENDED!" Tyr swings his sword, looking to split the little rat right down the middle!
[18:26] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 Skewered rat sounds good
[18:26] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 Skewered rat sounds good and gets 16." [1d20=10]
[18:27] <Kotono> Yet this blow isn't quite enough! Somehow it weaves out of the way, screaming as it takes a chop at Tyr in retort!
[18:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+4 slash
[18:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 slash and gets 6." [1d20=2]
[18:27] <Kotono> But the blow is too dazed from his blows, clanging off his armor! OOC: Belros and Boney ,go.
[18:28] <Lucas> With a bark, the dog jumps for one of the kobold's legs, and chomps!
[18:28] <Lucas> roll d20+2
[18:28] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+2 and gets 8." [d20=6]
[18:29] * Belros strides forward, jaw clenched and swings his mace at the Kobold, aiming to splatter it's head across the wall.
[18:29] <Belros> roll d20+2
[18:29] * Hatbot --> "Belros rolls d20+2 and gets 9." [d20=7]
[18:29] <Kotono> Surrounded now, the kobold's finest hour comes! He dodges all the blows, sticking his tongue out, "I'm not done yet!"  he shouts! OOC: All of you have +2 on him due to flanking now. Claire, go.
[18:30] <Lucas> ooc: I don't have +2! I'd get penalties for firing into melee instead! :(
[18:30] * Claire aims to spear that tongue right out. "How about now?"
[18:30] <Claire> roll 1d20+6+2
[18:30] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+6+2 and gets 15." [1d20=7]
[18:31] <Kotono> "How about no!" The kobold laughs as it dodges again, rolling along side of the rapider and patting its scaly ass at Claire! OOC: Zee whiff. Lucas.
[18:31] <Lucas> "You say no, we say yes!" Lucas exclaims as he aims carefully so he doesn't hit one of the others, even if it increases the chances of missing the little rat.
[18:32] <Lucas> roll d20+1 shooting into melee :(
[18:32] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+1 shooting into melee :( and gets 6." [d20=5]
[18:32] <Kotono> Again a dodge, the slingshot hitting harmlessly off Belros' weapon instead! "You all can't touch the great kobold!"OOC: Tyr.
[18:33] <Tyr> "Stand still, you little maggot, and DIE!" Tyr swings his sword once more!
[18:33] <Tyr> roll 1d20+8 Die, dammit!
[18:33] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+8 Die, dammit! and gets 20." [1d20=12]
[18:33] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[18:33] <Tyr> roll 1d8+4 finally
[18:33] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d8+4 finally and gets 7." [1d8=3]
[18:33] <Kotono> Ker-skewer! With a thrust the kobold is skewered, falling to the ground like a sack of bloody, dead potatoes! OOC: Free act.
[18:34] * Belros kicks the body.
[18:34] <Belros> "Annoying little bastard."
[18:34] <Claire> "'Can't touch this,' he says. How 'bout now?"
[18:35] <Lucas> "Well that was exciting," Lucas says drily, looking at the corpse. "Loot now, or on the way back? Looting afterwards worked fine for us last time, but the little rats do seem a bit better prepared."
[18:35] <Tyr> "You're telling me." Tyr wipes the blood on the kobold's jerkin and then searches the body for anything at all of value.
[18:35] <Tyr> "Let's leave the big stuff for on the way back."
[18:35] <Claire> "There's more of 'em, let's move on before they get more coffins ready," Claire says.


[18:35] <Kotono> Ahead of you lies the coffins. Several stacked up lines of them - you can go around slowly or climb over them. The coffins are generally shut, at least.
[18:36] * Claire is totally down with circling around the dead body repository, thanks, and does so.
[18:37] * Tyr follows slowly, wary of a trap!
[18:37] * Lucas is totally down with following behind the girl, and does so.
[18:37] <Kotono> OOC: What order are you marching ahead in?
[18:37] * Belros readies his shield and mace. After all, a maze of stacked coffins could hide who knows what..
[18:37] <Claire> OOC: I guess me first, unless someone wants to be gallant and chivalrous.
[18:37] <Tyr> OOC: I guess Claire is leading, and I'm right behind her?
[18:37] <Lucas> ooc: Claire>Tyr>Lucas>Boney>Belros, I guess, if single file
[18:37] <Tyr> OOC: ^ that works
[18:37] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Spot check, Claire.
[18:37] <Lucas> ooc: if double file, Claire+Tyr>Lucas+Boney>Belros
[18:38] <Claire> roll 1d20-3 YEEEEES
[18:38] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20-3 YEEEEES and gets 6." [1d20=9]
[18:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 flatfooted AC? 1
[18:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 flatfooted AC? 1 and gets 4." [1d20=1]
[18:38] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 flatfooted AC? 2
[18:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 flatfooted AC? 2 and gets 15." [1d20=12]
[18:38] <Claire> OOC: 14
[18:38] <Kotono> roll 1d2+1 and fort, Claire.
[18:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d2+1 and fort, Claire. and gets 2." [1d2=1]
[18:38] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 10/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 11/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr 13/13 | Claire(24)>Lucas(21)>Tyr(20)>Axbold(12)>Belros=Boney(9)'
[18:38] <Claire> roll 1d20+5 fort
[18:38] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+5 fort and gets 19." [1d20=14]
[18:40] <Kotono> OW! From the coffin side something comes! A small metal dart, sinking into Claire's ankle! IN the direction it came in you can see the ends of two coffins 5ft apart, crude stone blocks obscuring the gap between them - save for two little holes! Just poking out you can see a pair of tubes.
[18:41] <Claire> "fffffffft OW!" Hopping on one foot for a moment to yank the dart out, looking at it in disgust and then tossing it away.
[18:41] <Claire> "Hey guys, I have this amazing idea: someone else walks in front for a while. Great, huh?"
[18:41] <Belros> "You've likely just been poisoned, so yes, that would be a good idea.
[18:41] <Belros> "
[18:41] <Kotono> The dart has traces of a strange deep blue gunk on it. Kinda smells weird.
[18:42] <Lucas> "I vote Tyr leads. He looks like the one who can take the most hits," Lucas volunteers the paladin.
[18:43] <Claire> "I don't feel too bad, for being stuck in the foot with a dart that is," Claire decides after a moment. "But by all means, go on ahead, valiant dartboard."
[18:43] <Tyr> "I love you too, Shorty." Tyr replies wryly. "I don't fancy running a gauntlet of these coffins. Perhaps we should try to climb and avoid the kill holes?"
[18:43] <Kotono> As the party stands there and talks, two more darts fire from the holes, again at Claire!
[18:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 AC? May not want to stand aroudn where you can get shot. Call me crazy.
[18:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 AC? May not want to stand aroudn where you can get shot. Call me crazy.
[18:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 AC? May not want to stand aroudn where you can get shot. Call me crazy. and gets 21." [1d20=18]
[18:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 AC? May not want to stand aroudn where you can get shot. Call me crazy. and gets 13." [1d20=10]
[18:44] <Claire> OOC: normal AC is 19
[18:44] <Kotono> roll 1d2+1 and fort.
[18:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d2+1 and fort. and gets 3." [1d2=2]
[18:44] <Claire> roll 1d20+5
[18:44] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+5 and gets 24." [1d20=19]
[18:44] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 10/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 8/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr 13/13 | Claire(24)>Lucas(21)>Tyr(20)>Axbold(12)>Belros=Boney(9)'
[18:44] <Claire> "FFFFFFFFFFFF--" Claire hops back out of the line of fire. "You know what? Fuck these dead people, let's just push these things over and move on."
[18:45] <Kotono> OW! A dart gets Claire right in the meat of the side of her foot this time! OW! OOC: Act or do something, guys.
[18:45] * Belros charges over to the tubes and holds his shield out in front of them, hopefully blocking their firing arcs.
[18:45] <Tyr> Tyr rushes to the front and slams his shield down, blocking the party from further attacks!
[18:45] <Tyr> He kneels down behind it, trying to present as small a target as possible.
[18:46] <Kotono> With a pair of shields blocking the murder holes, all you can hear are soft clacks of something against metal and nothing else.
[18:46] * Lucas just waits happily behind the others, scruffing up his mutt's fur as he waits for them to keep walking or do something else.
[18:47] <Claire> "Errr...okay...guess I stay in front...you're welcome, guys..." With shields blocking the projectiles, Claire scurries past the trap.
[18:48] <Tyr> "Belros! Move together slowly with me! Let's see if we can't get close enough to stab through the holes or something!"
[18:48] * Tyr begins advancing slowly, sticking together with Belros and moving closer to the murder holes.
[18:48] * Belros looks at Tyr flatly and raises his mace.
[18:48] <Belros> "Stab?"
[18:48] <Tyr> "Er, smash. Sorry. Heat of the moment."
[18:48] * Belros , never the less, moves forward.
[18:48] <Kotono> Getting closer to the murder holes is without incident, as you're already there.
[18:49] * Lucas keeps Claire company with Boney while the other two go smashing traps. "So, that gunk did nothing, right? Not going to be throwing up in the middle of a fight or anything?" he asks, trying to make small talk.
[18:49] * Tyr blindly stabs over the top of his shield, trying to seek entrance into the murder holes with his sword!
[18:49] <Claire> "Well, if I do, I know just where to aim it, right?"
[18:50] <Kotono> Tyr blindly stabs down! The reward is a squeal and a spray of blood arching up!
[18:50] <Tyr> "One down! Belros! Smash the shit out of that coffin, man!"
[18:51] * Belros swings his mace in, trying to hit anything.
[18:51] <Kotono> A boney crunch and splatter of blood is the reward! Surely two dead kobolds lie beneath.
[18:52] * Tyr gestures with his head. "Let's move forward like this slowly, shields together. There could be more of those murder holes in the coffins ahead."
[18:52] <Lucas> "Tyr and Belros?" Lucas suggests at Claire's question. "Right?"
[18:53] <Claire> "Yeah, you guys sidle on ahead for a bit. Taken my share of darts for a while."
[18:53] <Belros> "Sounds good."
[18:54] * Belros hefts his shield and moves forward.
[18:54] * Tyr nudges Belros and together, they begin to advance, crouched behind shields.


[18:54] <Kotono> Advancing ahead you fortunately see no more murder holes. The rest of the way around the coffins is mercifully unguarded, able to reach ahead. Coming to the end of the hall, you reach the stone door here. This one has a carving as well, not nearly so weathered. It is of a massive, scaly dragon rising over the countryside! This door is open. OOC: Spot check, anyone who goes ahead towards this.
[18:55] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 spot
[18:55] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 19." [1d20=14]
[18:57] * Tyr notices a wet gleam on the floor ahead. "Hold up!" Tyr sticks out a finger and feels the consistency of the liquid, trying to determine what it is!
[18:57] <Kotono> It's slippery, like oil or grease.
[18:58] <Claire> "Don't have to tell me twice!" Claire calls out from a good distance back.
[18:58] <Tyr> "Hmm." Tyr wipes his finger off on his pants. "Well, it could be a fire trap. Or they're trying to make us unbalanced. If it's oil, we could go ahead and set the fire, wait until it burns out."
[19:00] <Belros> "Not so sure we should. That'll announce exactly where we are *and* trap us right here. We'll be blocking ourselves in until the fire burns out. With coffins in here, there's a lot that could catch fire, too."
[19:01] <Tyr> "The coffins are stone, so that's one less thing we have to worry about. Still, I don't like it. One of us tries to open the door and we could get flash fried."
[19:01] <Lucas> "We could drag some of the coffins here and use them as stepping stones or slide them down the path?" Lucas suggests.
[19:01] <Belros> "Those things are heavy.. If we want to do that, I'd suggest using the coffin tops only."
[19:01] * Tyr perks up at Lucas's suggestion. "Not a bad idea! Anyone else have any other ideas?
[19:01] <Tyr> "
[19:01] <Claire> "So are we talking about, like, going sledding in coffins? Because I could go for that."
[19:02] <Lucas> "Well, they did provide the nice slippery surface for us to go sledding, it'd be a shame not to!"
[19:02] <Belros> "It'd make a good battering ram, too. If you don't mind disturbing the dead. And possibly angering any spirits or wraiths around.."
[19:03] * Tyr rises to his feet and ventures over to the nearest coffin. Sheathing his sword and leaning his shield against the coffin, he takes ahold of the top and tries to drag it off!
[19:03] <Lucas> "It didn't seem like the kobolds were worried about their dead, why should we?" Lucas points out to the cleric.
[19:03] <Claire> "If they weren't pissed off at the kobolds moving them around, we've got nothing worse for 'em," Claire agrees.
[19:04] <Belros> "Would it be less angering to you if your ancestors moved your grave, or if some random person did? And if that random person happened to be of a race you hated?"
[19:04] * Belros raises an eyebrow at the two.
[19:04] <Claire> "If I was dead the only thing angering me would be being dead."
[19:05] <Tyr> "Being dead sucks." Tyr agrees as he continues his manly grunting and heaving!
[19:05] <Kotono> The coffin top is removed off by Tyr's manly muscles! It's heavy but movable.
[19:05] <Lucas> "Until dead kobolds jump out and try to eat our souls, I'll stick with defiling their graves, thanks," Lucas says.
[19:05] * Claire decides to help Tyr shift the coffins around. There's sledding to be done here, dammit!
[19:06] * Tyr drags the coffin top over to the oil slick, shield in tow, and cautiously slides the tip of it onto the oil slick, awaiting a fiery reaction!
[19:06] <Kotono> No fire comes from stone meeting oil.
[19:07] * Tyr shrugs and pushes the lid further onto the oil slick, as far as he can go without touching the oil with his feet.
[19:07] <Tyr> OOC:How many lids does that put us from the door?
[19:07] <Kotono> It slides without incident. Having Claire help makes it a little easier.
[19:08] <Kotono> OOC: About 4.
[19:08] <Tyr> OOC: Any chance we can handwave making our lid bridge?
[19:08] <Claire> "So now what? Are there stairs past here or something? Are we gonna surf down these things?" Claire wonders, unwilling to let go of a good idea.
[19:08] <Kotono> OOC: What's your scheme here? Lids making a bridge to the stairs?
[19:08] <Belros> OOC: Basically, yeah.
[19:08] <Tyr> OOC; Yeah.
[19:09] <Lucas> OOC: I was originally proposing a bridge, but I thought the lower int bunch wanted to go sledding?
[19:09] <Kotono> With some effort and time, enough coffin lids indeed make a passable path to the stairs!
[19:09] <Kotono> OOC: Up to yo uguys. You could use the closest one to go asleedin' if you want.
[19:09] <Kotono> OOC: Closest one to the stairs.
[19:10] <Belros> "Now that we're across, we can light the oil and get them coming up the stairs, hopefully... And we can send one of the coffins down the stairs to mee them."
[19:10] * Claire takes a position in the furthest coffin, at the edge of the stairs. "Okay, guys, this is going to be great. We know where these stairs go, right? Right?"
[19:10] <Belros> "Down."
[19:10] * Belros nods.
[19:11] <Claire> "Good enough."
[19:11] <Tyr> "Down into a room, yes. It was empty last time we were here."
[19:11] <Lucas> "Well, we know the second step was trapped, but down is about right!" Lucas says helpfully.
[19:11] <Claire> "Oh...<" Claire says, momentarily disappointed before rebounding quickly: "But last time they didn't shoot coffins at you, either. So who knows what's changed!"
[19:11] <Kotono> OOC: So are all of you loading onto one coffin and sledding down now?
[19:12] <Tyr> OOC: Claire, you want to join me in a magic coffin ride?
[19:12] <Lucas> "Probably safe, sure!" Lucas says encouragingly.
[19:12] <Belros> OOC: I will be abstaining from the 'fun'.
[19:13] * Claire sits down on the coffin lid and braces herself!
[19:13] * Lucas sits on the coffin lid behind Claire!
[19:13] <Lucas> "Push away, Tyr!"
[19:13] * Tyr shrugs and gives the lid a push to send them on their way!
[19:14] <Lucas> Boney wags his tail and sits in the next lid, remembering his master told him to wait upstairs last time!
[19:16] <Kotono> With this, Lucas and Claire go down! With the oil adding slipperiness you squirt down some stairs...and for a moment ,you pick up speed, before the stairs creak! You only have a momento to realize something is wrong before the stairs crumble around you, coffin lid plummeting along with collapsing stairs! OOC: Reflex saves, you two. Boy, was I giggling about this collapsing stairs trap during all of this.
[19:16] <Claire> roll 1d20+4
[19:16] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+4 and gets 15." [1d20=11]

[19:18] <Kotono> OW! OW! OW! The landing is hard! OW! Your coffin is cracked beneath you as you land in a heap of rubble. Oh, it's fine, if breaking your assbones and a few other semi-essential things is fine. Above, Belros and Tyr can see all but the first 10ft of the stair has collapsed down.
[19:18] <Lucas> "...Worth it!" Lucas whimpers while he painfully continues to latch onto Claire.
[19:19] <Claire> "Owfuckdammit!" Claire curses, struggling to a sitting position, peering up at the broken stairs above. "And midn your hands, shorty, these things aren't the brakes."
[19:19] * Belros whistles calmly as he pulls his rope out of his pack and ties it off.
[19:20] <Kotono> "Hiiiiiii! We're ready!" The voice of kobolds is heard ahead. Several voices. Ahead of you, just past the rubble? Four kobolds with slingshots and gleams in their eye, ready to attack, "Get 'em! They fell for it!" OOC: Init everybody.

[19:23] <Kotono> OOC: Boney, go.
[19:24] <Lucas> Boney just continues to sit on the lid, wagging it's tail.
[19:24] <Kotono> OOC: Okay! Belros!
[19:25] <Kotono> OOC: It's a 20ft drop with rubble to the bottom.
[19:25] <Kotono> OOC: You were just starting to tie up a rope to climb down when I called for init, I believe?
[19:26] <Tyr> OOC: Not I. Maybe Belros was?
[19:26] <Kotono> OOC: Belros was, asking since he's up init.
[19:27] * Belros looks flatly down at them and abandons his rope tying and instead casts Summon Monster I, aiming the spell next to Lucas.
[19:27] <Kotono> OOC: What monster?
[19:30] <Belros> OOC: Summoning Celestial Giant Fire Beetle.
[19:28] <Kotono> Belros begins to chant, as the first slingstone comes! This one comes at Lucas, right at his dazed head!

[19:28] <Kotono> OW! Rock upside the head! OW! Lucas finds his vision swimming from the blow, as another one is fired, this one at Claire! OOC: Also you're up Lucas, go.

[19:29] <Kotono> Ting! This one hits off her armor, doing nothing!
[19:29] <Kotono> OOC: Lucas, go.
[19:30] <Lucas> "Ow!" Lucas exclaims, glaring at the kobolds. Taking his hands off Claire, grudgingly, he gestures towards the kobold. "Go to sleep, losers!"

[19:31] <Kotono> The third slingbold keels over aslumber, but the others are not impressed! "C'mon, you're pathetic!" one jeers, as...OOC: Tyr, go.
[19:31] * Tyr snarls as he hurriedly tries to tie the rope off and rappel himself down. "Don't die till I get down there, damn you!"
[19:31] <Kotono> OOC: Noted Belros.
[19:31] <Lucas> "Am not! I bet you're all sleepy and wanting to fall over! Aren't you?!? Aren't you?!?" Lucas counters at the jeer.
[19:32] <Kotono> OOC: Use rope check, Tyr? If you're untrained it's a dex check.
[19:32] <Tyr> roll 1d20+1 Please, God. >_>
[19:32] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+1 Please, God. >_> and gets 9." [1d20=8]
[19:33] <Kotono> Tyr works and works...but he can't quite get the knots right! It's not working! OOC: That's your standard action, you have a move if yo uwanna do anything with it.
[19:33] <Tyr> OOC:...I have a climb skill. Can I start just climbing down?
[19:34] <Kotono> OOC: Sure. Make a climb check.
[19:34] <Tyr> roll 1d20+3 Hatbot, don't fail me now.
[19:34] <Lucas> OOC: climb half way and jump the rest down you pussy!

[19:35] <Kotono> He lands hard, a jolt of pain, but he lands safely and down! OOC: Slingbold 4 and Claire are up.
[19:35] <Kotono> As Claire prepares, a slingshot is fired at Lucas!

[19:35] <Kotono> Clang! Another stone off the side of his head, ringing his bell but good! OOC: Claire, go.
[19:36] * Claire rushes into to stab away at one of the non-sleeping kobolds, whichever one took a shot at her, and loom menacingly to the fullest extent her slight frame allows her to!
[19:36] <Claire> roll 1d20+6
[19:36] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+6 and gets 16." [1d20=10]
[19:36] <Kotono> OOC: Zee hit.
[19:36] <Claire> roll 1d6
[19:36] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d6 and gets 1." [1d6=1]
[19:37] <Kotono> Claire rushes ahead and stabs! She manages a grazing blow on one and looms over them! As this happens she can see ahead. Ahead lie a pair of passages - but you barely have a look, for 30ft ahead is another kobold, this one with bow and arrow, "Oi, you slobs! Look alive and kill 'em!"
[19:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6 arrow kobold

[19:37] <Kotono> OOC: Go Boney.
[19:38] <Lucas> Boney moves closer to the pit, and seeing the drop, whimpers at Belros, as if expecting him to carry him down like Tyr had the last time they'd come around! Sadly, that is all he does.
[19:38] <Kotono> At this moment...a celestial beetle appears, so summoned and under the command of Belros! OOC: Go ahead and have your summon act, Belros, then your turn comes.
[19:39] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 10/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 4/13, Lucas 1/7, Tyr 8/13 | Boney(22)>Celestial Firebeetle(20)>Arrowbold=Belros(19)>Slingbold 1(18)Slingbold 2=Lucas(17)>Slingbold 3(15; sleep)>Tyr(13)>Slingbold 4=Claire(5)'
[19:39] <Belros> "Celestial Fire Beetle! I choose you! Destroy those Kobolds!"
[19:40] <Belros> The beetle scurries forth, attacking the nearest Kobold!
[19:40] <Kotono> OOC: One of the slingbolds, I presume? Which one?
[19:40] <Belros> OOC: The first.
[19:40] <Claire> "Ohgodagiantbugsomeonesteponitwaititsourgiantbug hooray!" tumbles out of Claire's mouth in a rush.

[19:42] <Kotono> A direct hit! The slingbold is torn apart, dead before it can even dodge! A moment later...! OOC: Belros and Arrowbold are uip.
[19:42] <Kotono> "Oi, I said look alive!" The kobold calls, nocking and arrow and firing that and another at Claire! "Get 'er down!

[19:42] <Claire> OOC: 19
[19:42] * Belros begins casting again, this time converting his Doom spell into Cure Light Wounds, aimed at Lucas this time!
[19:42] <Kotono> But both arrows whizz by, missing her on both sdies and slamming into the rubble behind her! OOC: Belros.
[19:43] <Kotono> OOC: Touch range spell, and you're 20ft above, Belros.
[19:43] <Kotono> "Aaah! Scary halfling! Scary lady!" They surviving two slingbolds cry out, staring ahead in shock!
[19:44] * Belros begins trying his own climb down...
[19:44] <Kotono> OOC: Climb check.
[19:46] <Belros> roll d20-7 for climb.
[19:46] * Hatbot --> "Belros rolls d20-7 for climb. and gets -6." [d20=1]
[19:47] <Kotono> Belros begins to climb - but his foot slips immediately, sending him plummeting down hard!

[19:47] <Kotono> Ow. That landing wasn't so bad. It's not like a broken arm, busted jaw and surely internal bleeding is that bad, right? Right. OOC: Ow. You're lying prone on the ground and in sublime pain, I think. Slingbold 2 and Lucas are up. Go Lucas.
[19:48] <Kotono> The second slingbold takes a 5ft step back and fire sanother rock at the scary Claire!
[19:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1
[19:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 2." [1d20=1]
[19:48] <Kotono> But this one is a total miss, barely firing out of the sling! OOC: Lcuas.
[19:49] <Lucas> Right now, they could use a little more cover than trying to sleep the kobolds again, so Lucas instead waves his arms dramatically, yelling "Now you see us...now you don't!"
[19:49] <Lucas> ooc: obscuring mist
[19:49] <Kotono> OOC: Link me?
[19:49] <Lucas> http://dndtools.eu/spells/players-handbook-v35--6/obscuring-mist--2414/
[19:50] <Kotono> A mist rises up, boscuring sight all around! OOC: Okay. Slingbold 3 is sleepin'. Tyr, go. It's all misty and hard to see now, bear in mind. Past 5 it's all a soupy, misty fog.
[19:51] <Lucas> "Go help the bug! Sorry if I made it harder for you to see where to swing though!" Lucas yells at the paladin.
[19:51] * Tyr unsheaths his sword and charges forward into the mist, striking at the nearest rustle of armor and cloth and hoping he gets lucky!
[19:52] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 I want to kill one. Just one.

[19:54] <Kotono> Charging in, Tyr skewers another 'bold! Out of the mists now he skewers it, dead before it falls of his blade! MEanwhile the fourth slingbold fires as shot at Claire and steps back, as...OOC: Claire, you're also up, go.
[19:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1
[19:54] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 15." [1d20=14]
[19:54] <Kotono> But the shot misses, her reflexes too fast to get tagged by that!
[19:55] * Claire pursues as the little bugger tries to sidle away from her, rapier lunging out for his beady little eye!
[19:55] <Claire> roll 1d20+6
[19:55] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+6 and gets 9." [1d20=3]
[19:56] <Kotono> But her reflexes aren't good enough! She swings and misses, as.."We're the kobolds! We're not done yet!" Rushing out from ahead is another kobold, this one with a slingshot full of...spiders?! Again?!
[19:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+4

[19:59] <Kotono> Asleep and helpless, the slingbold is food for the glowing firey beetle of heaven! OOC: Arrowbold and Belros, go.

[20:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 and gets 6." [1d20=4]
[20:03] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 3/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 4/13, Lucas 1/7, Tyr 8/13 | Boney(22)>Celestial Firebeetle(20)>Arrowbold(sleep)=Belros(19)>Lucas(17)>Tyr(13)>Spiderslingbold(7)>Slingbold 4=Claire(5)'
[20:04] <Kotono> With those magic words, the arrowbold keels over, dead asleep! OOC:Tyr, go.
[20:04] <Kotono> "Yeah, great idea boss!" The last living slingbold bitches!
[20:04] * Tyr lopes toward the spider slinging 'bold and tries to, surprise, surprise, split it down the middle!
[20:04] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 Oh yeah.
[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 Oh yeah. and gets 25." [1d20=19]
[20:04] <Kotono> OOC: Crit threat for you?
[20:05] <Tyr> rOCC: Yeah, rolling again
[20:05] <Kotono> OOC: Yes, crit confirm.
[20:05] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 Crit yeah~
[20:05] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 Crit yeah~ and gets 14." [1d20=8]
[20:05] <Kotono> OOC: That's a crit.
[20:05] <Tyr> roll 2d8+8 WOO
[20:05] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 2d8+8 WOO and gets 17." [2d8=3, 6]
[20:05] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 3/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 4/13, Lucas 1/7, Tyr 8/13 | Boney(22)>Celestial Firebeetle(20)>Arrowbold(sleep)=Belros(19)>Lucas(17)>Tyr(13)>Slingbold 4=Claire(5)'
[20:05] <Kotono> With a massive clear the spiderslingbold is dead, deader, deadest! It's setting new records for being dead, head flying back like a football! OOC: Slingbold 4 and Claire.
[20:06] <Kotono> The fourth slingbold keeps up his desperate strategem, firing on Claire and backing away!
[20:06] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1
[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 5." [1d20=4]
[20:06] <Kotono> But it's another failure!
[20:06] <Claire> "You're gonna run out of places to run before I run out of sword!" Claire calls out as she pursues.
[20:06] <Claire> roll 1d20+6
[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Claire rolls 1d20+6 and gets 10." [1d20=4]
[20:07] <Kotono> But it's not quite a hit, swinging and missing! "Wanna bet?!" he calls back in desperation, "Gee, a girl with a sword! Compensating much?" OOC:Boney, go.
[20:08] <Lucas> Boney decides to try barking, to scare evil creatures away, barking loudly and endlessly!
[20:08] <Kotono> Woof woof! Meanwhile...OOC: Firebeetle, go.

[20:09] * Hatbot was kicked by Kotono (.)
[20:09] * Kotono sets mode: +v Kothulhubot

[20:09] <Claire> "Hey! HEY! I'm not gonna stand for that! I'm happy with what I've got, thanks. For the honor of swordgirls everywhere, I will stab you in the throat until there is no throat left to stab!"
[20:09] <Belros> The fire beetle shuffles a shuffle of death towards Slingbold 4!
[20:09] <Belros> roll d20+1
[20:09] <Kothulhubot> Belros rolled d20+1 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{13}
[20:09] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:09] <Belros> roll 2d4
[20:09] <Kothulhubot> Belros rolled 2d4 --> [ 2d4=5 ]{5}
[20:10] <Lucas> "I like her, she's funny," Lucas whispers to Belros. "Go heal her, I don't want her dying."
[20:10] <Kotono> "Oh, so you already have one?! That means you're a big old tran-urk!" Any further words are muffled as th ekobold gets messily devoured by the summon! OOC: Free act.


[20:10] * Belros bleeds freely.
[20:11] * Tyr sits down on the floor, panting. "Oh, gods. That was so damn stupid. Never again will I listen to the girl with penis envy."
[20:11] * Claire would give the corpse a taste of her boot were there any corpse left to kick!
[20:11] * Claire whips her sword around to point at Tyr. "HEY. You saw what happened to the last mook said that, right? You want the bug to eat you too? No? Then shut it with that talk!"
[20:12] <Lucas> "So...who wants to go get some real professional healing back home?" Lucas asks, raising his hand in the middle of all the mist, probably hard to see, though all three of them can probably guess what he's doing.
[20:12] * Belros pats the Fire Beetle fondly.
[20:12] <Kotono> OOC: LIsten check, Boney.
[20:12] <Lucas> roll d20+5
[20:13] <Kothulhubot> Lucas rolled d20+5 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{12}
[20:13] <Claire> "I take back everything I've ever said about bugs, I like this one," Claire continues, strolling to the dead archer to check if he's holding anything better than her own bow.
[20:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 flatfooted AC, Boney?
[20:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 flatfooted AC, Boney?
[20:13] <Kothulhubot> Kotono rolled 1d20+3 flatfooted AC, Boney? --> [ 1d20=8 ]{11}
[20:13] <Kothulhubot> Kotono rolled 1d20+3 flatfooted AC, Boney? --> [ 1d20=3 ]{6}
[20:13] <Tyr> "That sounds like a plan. Next time, we won't do anything stupid."
[20:13] <Lucas> ooc: 12
[20:14] <Kotono> The archer has a shortbow, arrows and a few coins in a pouch. Meanwhile, a pair of darts fly past Boney from behind!
[20:14] * Claire will never turn down more money!
[20:16] <Lucas> Boney stops barking and turns and growls in the direction of the darts, before barking loudly in that direction, his fur rising along his back. "Boney? What is it boy?" Lucas yells from below with worry, moving closer to the edge of the pit they fell down, trying to peer through the smoke.
[20:17] <Kotono> Above and 20ft behind him, Boney can see a pair of kobolds with blowpipes and darts, ready to attack again! OOC: Init, poor Boney!
[20:17] <Lucas> roll d20+3
[20:17] <Kothulhubot> Lucas rolled d20+3 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{11}
[20:17] <Tyr> "Attackers?" Tyr leaps to his feet, striding over the edge of the pit. "Come on, Boney! Jump down! I'll catch you!"
[20:17] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 3/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 4/13, Lucas 1/7, Tyr 8/13 | Boney(11)'
[20:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Dartbold 1
[20:17] <Kothulhubot> Kotono rolled 1d20+3 Dartbold 1 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{7}
[20:17] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Dartbold 2
[20:17] <Kothulhubot> Kotono rolled 1d20+3 Dartbold 2 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{23}
[20:18] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 3/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 4/13, Lucas 1/7, Tyr 8/13 | Dartbold 2(23)>Boney(11)>Dartbold 1 (7)'
[20:18] <Kotono> Before anyone can act, another dart flies at the canine companion!
[20:18] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3
[20:18] <Kothulhubot> Kotono rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{8}
[20:18] <Kotono> But it misses wildly! OOC: Boney.
[20:18] * Lucas gasps. "Attackers? Against -my- doggie?" he exclaims in worry, and seeing Tyr offer a suggestion, shouts upward. "Boney, jump! We'll protect you!"
[20:19] <Lucas> roll d20+1 handle animal check to see if he listens to me~
[20:19] <Kothulhubot> Lucas rolled d20+1 handle animal check to see if he listens to me~ --> [ 1d20=9 ]{10}
[20:19] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Boney's up.
[20:20] <Lucas> ooc: checking to see if he would obey me!
[20:20] <Tyr> OOC; You're his master, dude.
[20:20] <Tyr> OOC: He stayed at the top of the stairs last time!
[20:20] <Kotono> OOC: You made the DC.
[20:20] <Lucas> Boney stops growling at Lucas' call, looking confused, but hearing desperation in his master's voice, he jumps down, taking a leap of faith!
[20:21] <Tyr> OOC: Uh...how do I make a catch check?
[20:21] <Kotono> OOC: Dex check, whomever was going to catch him. Tyr, I think.
[20:21] <Tyr> roll 1d20+1 Please, don't let me kill the dog. PLEASE.
[20:21] <Kothulhubot> Tyr rolled 1d20+1 Please, don't let me kill the dog. PLEASE. --> [ 1d20=13 ]{14}
[20:21] <Lucas> roll d20+7 jump from Boney to reduce falling damage if applicable too
[20:21] <Kothulhubot> Lucas rolled d20+7 jump from Boney to reduce falling damage if applicable too --> [ 1d20=10 ]{17}
[20:21] <Kotono> Tyr is fast enough, getting in position to get a faceful of dog! He stumbles but holds him safe! OOC: Free act.
[20:22] <Lucas> Boney licks Tyr's face, wagging its tail, all of a sudden no longer worried about kobolds!
[20:22] <Claire> "What's going on up there?" Claire wonders, getting her bow ready in case there are attackers from above.
[20:23] <Kotono> Ahead of you lies a simple cave path. Farther ahead there are two paths - one continues down a narrow tunnel dug into the wall, the other leads to a crude looking stone door. There's also something new - a dug tunnel into the wall just before the cave path begins.
[20:23] <Lucas> "Tyr said there were kobolds attacking my poor doggie!" Lucas explains. "He must be right, because he's a paladin! They can't lie!"
[20:23] <Claire> "We, uh...can we actually get out of here now?" she asks, eyeing the collapsed stairway.
[20:24] * Tyr hugs Boney briefly before setting him down. "Good boy!" He looks back up. "Well, we have two choices. Go on, or go back."
[20:24] <Lucas> "Well, all we've got is Belros, and his legs look bent funny, so...we're probably fucked!" Lucas replies to Claire. "We'll take as many of them with us as we can though!"
[20:25] <Claire> "I like a plan that involves not dying. Can we come up with one of those?"
[20:25] <Lucas> "Also, my mist is going to vanish any second now, so if there's kobolds up there, they're going to be trying to smack our balls...and Claire's head, so we should at least move from this spot," Lucas says, moving deeper into the room and away from the pit.
[20:25] * Belros walks over to Lucas and places his hand on his shoulder, using up his Cure Light Wounds (Dominion).
[20:25] <Belros> roll 1d8+1
[20:25] <Kothulhubot> Belros rolled 1d8+1 --> [ 1d8=5 ]{6}
[20:26] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 3/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 4/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr 8/13 | Dartbold 2(23)>Boney(11)>Dartbold 1 (7)'
[20:26] <Kotono> Lucas has recovered fully!
[20:26] <Claire> "Got any of that magic leftover for me?" Claire asks.
[20:26] * Tyr hastily retreats from the edge as well, going deeper into the room!"
[20:26] <Lucas> "...alright, we may not be as fucked as I thought previously!" Lucas says, as he looks at Belros with wonder and shock. "You're actually able to heal! Wow!"
[20:27] <Belros> "Not for much longer.."
[20:27] * Belros casts one Cure Minor Wounds on Claire, and the other two instances of it on himself, bringing both up to 5!
[20:28] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 5/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 5/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr 8/13 | Dartbold 2(23)>Boney(11)>Dartbold 1 (7)'
[20:29] <Kotono> At this, the mist fades away!


[20:29] <Claire> "Thanks. Anyway...we, uh, want to check out that big door? Looks less like homemade kobold work, could lead upstairs?"
[20:29] * Lucas nods. "We'll have to move really carefully, we can't afford to fall down another pit at this point..."
[20:30] <Claire> "Right. And I guess the coffin sledding quota for the day is pretty mucn filled..."
[20:30] * Tyr shrugs. "Never hurts to try!" Tyr walks over to the door...and this time puts his ear up against the door, listening intently for any kind of noise at all! "Shush!"
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: LIsten check.
[20:31] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5
[20:31] <Kothulhubot> Tyr rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{13}
[20:32] * Tyr doesn't seem to hear anything. Instead of standing in front of the door this time, Tyr crouches down and tries to inch forward on the right side of the door!
[20:32] <Kotono> OOC: Like opening it or just inching around it?
[20:33] <Tyr> OOC: opening it slowly, trying to peek around.
[20:33] <Kotono> The door opens slightly! Tyr can see something wet looking on the floor, as well as a soft wobbling sound above.
[20:33] * Claire lingers behind a moment to put the sleeping archer out of his miserable misery!
[20:34] * Tyr slowly raises his head, trying to peer upwards through the door and see what appears to be on the ceiling!
[20:34] <Kotono> It looks to be a clay jar - wobbling abovfe and falling down as he looks, plummeting to the floor!
[20:35] <Kotono> Claire kills the archer. IT's quite dead now, via rapier killin'.
[20:35] * Tyr immediately dives away from the entrance!
[20:35] <Kotono> OOC: REflex save, +4 bonus, Tyr.
[20:36] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 I don't want to be extra crispy!
[20:36] <Kothulhubot> Tyr rolled 1d20+5 I don't want to be extra crispy! --> [ 1d20=7 ]{12}
[20:36] <Kotono> roll 2d6 full rotten luck on the roll, DC was 13.
[20:36] <Kothulhubot> Kotono rolled 2d6 full rotten luck on the roll, DC was 13. --> [ 2d6=7 ]{7}
[20:36] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 5/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 5/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr 1/13 | Dartbold 2(23)>Boney(11)>Dartbold 1 (7)'
[20:37] <Kotono> Tyr isn't quite fast enough, turnign to dive but the jar hits! Abruptly the fluid of the floor catches ablaze, blasting ahead! Tyr is charred and crispified, stumbling back and on FIRE! ACK! BURNING! OOC: Act, Tyr. You're on fire. May wanna do something about that.
[20:37] * Tyr drops to the floor and rolls like a motherfucker. On fire.
[20:37] <Tyr> "OH GODITBURNSOWFUCKSHITPUTITOUT!"
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: Reflex save, +4.
[20:38] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 dear god
[20:38] <Kothulhubot> Tyr rolled 1d20+5 dear god --> [ 1d20=8 ]{13}
[20:38] <Kotono> roll 1d6 Unfortunately, the DC for putting out fire once you're on fire is 15. Hatebot lives!
[20:38] <Kothulhubot> Kotono rolled 1d6 Unfortunately, the DC for putting out fire once you're on fire is 15. Hatebot lives! --> [ 1d6=1 ]{1}
[20:38] <Claire> "Ohshit, uh, drop and roll, drop and roll!" Claire suggests, rather pointlessly, to the dropped and rolling paladin.
[20:38] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 5/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 5/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr 0/13 | Dartbold 2(23)>Boney(11)>Dartbold 1 (7)'
[20:38] <Lucas> "Okay, I know I said no more falling down pits, that didn't mean permission to set yourself on fire!!!" Lucas exclaims in shock, moving away from the burning to death paladin, pulling his dog back as well.
[20:38] <Kotono> Tyr stops, drops and rolls...and still burns! OW! STILL ON FIRE! STILL NOT GOOD!
[20:39] * Tyr tries to roll again. And not die, preferrably.
[20:39] <Kotono> OOC: Reflex save, +4.
[20:39] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 Really Hatbot?
[20:39] <Kothulhubot> Tyr rolled 1d20+5 Really Hatbot? --> [ 1d20=11 ]{16}
[20:40] <Kotono> The fire goes out! Unfortunately, the strain of it is too much for Tyr and he passes out! OOC: Taking a vigorous action while at 0 equals 1 point of damage. At -1 and dying, party  may want to do something about that.
[20:40] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 5/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 5/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr -1/13 | Dartbold 2(23)>Boney(11)>Dartbold 1 (7)'
[20:41] <Lucas> "...I'm going to miss the god kid. He was a good kid," Lucas says pitifully, sighing as he makes a cross gesture, and prays loudly. "Oh, Tyr, god of paladins, take this youth into your lands and take care of him. While he failed to live up to your holy name, know that he meant well."
[20:41] * Tyr promptly passes out, hoping that if he dies, death treats him kindly.
[20:41] * Lucas sighs again, shaking his head as he turns away from Tyr's body, already taking him for dead.
[20:41] <Kotono> OOC: Since no one else is doing anything, roll 1d100 for stabilization check 1, Tyr.
[20:41] <Claire> "Ohshit, is he dead?" Claire kneels next to the smoking Tyr to find out! "Hey big guy, get up! There's a kobold just down the way exposing his buttocks and gesturing rudely! He needs a sword stuck in his guts, STAT! And you're the only one who can do it, buddy!"
[20:42] <Belros> "I'll take care of him! Get the other one!"
[20:42] <Tyr> roll 1d100
[20:42] <Kothulhubot> Tyr rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=27 ]{27}
[20:42] * Kotono changes topic to 'Belros 5/10, Boney 6/6, Claire 5/13, Lucas 7/7, Tyr -2/13 | Dartbold 2(23)>Boney(11)>Dartbold 1 (7)'
[20:42] * Belros charges over and begins working on Tyr, trying to stabilize him!
[20:42] <Kotono> OOC: Heal check.
[20:43] <Belros> roll d20+7 (heal!)
[20:43] <Kothulhubot> Belros rolled d20+7 (heal!) --> [ 1d20=18 ]{25}
[20:43] <Kotono> Working away, Belros stabilizes the crispy, dying paladin! He's maimed horribly and likely has a career as a carnival freak show victim as Mr. Crispy, but he's alive!
[20:44] * Lucas consoles Boney as the mutt whimpers pitifully for Tyr. "I know boy, I know. It's very sad that we lost him, but we'll make do! And worst case, we have an emergency food supply now! Pre-cooked!"
[20:46] * Claire turns to shoot Lucas an obligatory Ewww What's Wrong With You? look.
[20:48] <Lucas> There is much wrong with the halfling! Much, much, much! Of course, Lucas cannot tell this to Claire, not being fluent in body language and paying more attention to his loyal dog anyway.
[20:48] <Kotono> OOC: LIsten check, all.
[20:48] <Claire> roll 1d20-3 YES!
[20:48] <Kothulhubot> Claire rolled 1d20-3 YES! --> [ 1d20=17 ]{14}
[20:48] * Tyr moans incoherently.
[20:48] <Lucas> roll d20+4 listen Lucas
[20:48] <Kothulhubot> Lucas rolled d20+4 listen Lucas --> [ 1d20=11 ]{15}
[20:48] <Lucas> roll d20+5 listen Boney
[20:48] <Kothulhubot> Lucas rolled d20+5 listen Boney --> [ 1d20=8 ]{13}
[20:49] <Kotono> ABove, you can hear the sounds of slamming and hitting, followed by, "All y'all?" The voice of the Boss is heard, "You guys still goin' at it? It's quittin' time! You aren't dead, are you?"
[20:49] <Claire> "Not yet, give us a couple minutes!" Claire calls back, with some evident relief.
[20:50] <Kotono> "Sure, call me when you're done with that, "he calls, footsteps fading away.
[20:50] <Lucas> "Of course, if you want to keep us from joining the dea...COME BACK, BOSS!!!" Lucas screams.
[20:51] * Lucas fumbles with his magic as he casts a spell, hopefully while the boss is still nearby enough to hear, sending a message to him. "Tyr is dead! We need help!"
[20:51] * Belros sits down against the wall and just.. Fuck this.
[20:51] <Kotono> There's a pause, and then, "Kidding," he calls, "C'mon. Shift's over, let's get all of yo uout of there."
[20:52] <Lucas> "Do we need to drag Tyr's corpse out, or do we just loot it?" Lucas asks, with relief.
[20:52] <Claire> "He's still breathing, you nitwit!"
[20:53] <Lucas> "What? He is? He looked pretty dead to me!" Lucas exclaims in surprise. "I mean, look at him! That's not natural! You humans are so disgusting!"
[20:53] <Belros> "I don't let people die that easily! I'm a cleric, after all!"
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.
