Attempt 1, floor 1: First try! Good luck! Don't die too fast

[Anastasia]

<Carthrat> roll 1d10+9
* Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d10+9 and gets 14." [1d10=5]
> roll 1d10
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 2." [1d10=2]

Aesop is at -7 HP now.

What ist here to say? A bloodied, mangled kobold takes another swing, desperate!

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 and gets 19." [1d20=19]
> roll 1d4
<Maz> YES
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]

A minor wound, a jagged meeting of hand and blade!

[Carthrat]

00:59] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d20 and gets 6." [1d20=6]
[00:59] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d20 and gets 20." [1d20=20]
[00:59] <@Carthrat> roll 1d20 crit check
[00:59] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d20 crit check and gets 5." [1d20=5]
[00:59] <@Carthrat> roll 1d4+1
[00:59] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d4+1 and gets 4." [1d4=3]

Like a grey thunderbolt, Tchaener's counterblow blasts through the offending kobold's head, leaving a gaping hole where his face once was! The wily dwarf gasps for breath, his beard streaked with blood!

But with all the kobolds gone, now he can take stock of the situation. He runs back to the river room, and before rushing to tend to Aesop's wounds, he makes sure there are no other immediate threats.

[Anastasia]

There aren't any that he sees. Aesop is badly doing and going! With constant care through the rest and lots of healing after, he may live - maybe.

[Carthrat]

[01:03] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d20 and gets 5." [1d20=5] healing check

[Carthrat]

Tchaener checks the ropes at the river, to see if it can be crossed safely, and he takes a look at the door that lead into this place from the kobold room.

If it's easy to cross, he uses the gear in Aesop's backpack, and stacks up a small pile of equipment and sling stones in front of the door; if it opens, they'll make a racket and hopefully wake him up!

[Anastasia]

This is done without incident. There don't seem to be any more kobolds, only a nice trap set up now. Aesop still needs lots of healing and attention, and poor Corwin's body is starting to stink.

[Carthrat]

Tchaener drags Corwin's body into the trap room, and closes the door behind him. After that, he rests...

[Anastasia]

24 hours or so pasts, two full rest periods.

With this time Aesop and Tchaener are recovered! While their problems are complicated by another, they are alive. The thing is - they're hungry. Hungry as hell now and really feeling weak because of it.

[Carthrat]

In that 24 hours, Tchaener has...

-Gone to the kobold camp, grabbed their bad supplies, and cast 'purify food and drink', before feeding himself and Aesop.

-Cast two auguries...

"Is it imperative that we get whatever is at the other end of the river?"

"If we get the ball off the stand, will we be able to get it freely?"

[01:17] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d100 and gets 60." [1d100=60]
[01:17] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d100 and gets 61." [1d100=61] (Two passes.)

[Anastasia]

1. Nay, but great rewards lie at the end of the secret paths.

2. Woe unto the effort, only the cessation of sight shall quiet the roaring nine Gods.

[Carthrat]

When the third day arrives, Tchaener slaps Aesop on the back. "Bear with me a moment. I think I'll be able to get the orb safely, now," he states.

He turns back towards the trap room, inspecting it carefully. He takes his time, walking carefully, close to where the orb is. With a deep breath, he casts 'Darkness' over the orb, and indeed, the wands...

[Anastasia]

Darkness decends over the orb and the wands. It's quite black now as one might suspect it would be.

[Carthrat]

Closing his eyes for good measure, Tchaener reaches out in the darkness to grasp the orb!

[Anastasia]

The orb is taken!

Nothing happens!

[Carthrat]

Tchaener carefully backs out of the darkness, heading towards the river room!
