001. "Bastard must be shitting out the King's scepter at this rate."

[Merc]

[18:09] <Kotono> Ah, another morning. Beds are left, baths are taken and breakfasts are consumed. It's a trip to the office - or in this case, to the site of your latest working assignment. A few dozen tents are pitched around a pile of crumbling pillars and an intact hall. A fresh, brand new dungeon to explore! Your boss awaits - a huge chunk of a man, 300 pounds of both fat and muscle. He paces back and forth,
[18:09] <Kotono> waiting, "Tyr! Lucas! There you two are! Is Stoneshield with you two? Got a new dungeon waiting to be explored." His head is bald, sweaty and shiny.
[18:10] * Tyr nods his head in greeting.  "Good morning, Boss. I can't say I know where Stoneshield is. Still abed, perhaps?"
[18:13] <Lucas> "Stoneshield had a bad case of explosive diarrhea, I think, last I saw he was spewin' his beer and running off to the latrine, cursing up a storm," Lucas says with a grin, looking the picture of innocence with his wavy blonde hair and baby blue eyes, and his stature making it possible to mistake him for a young human child. Or a scruffy one maybe, given the messy stubble on his chin.
[18:13] <Lucas> By his side, a brown mutt sits, wagging its tail and panting, having run along at his master's feet.
[18:13] <Kotono> "No shit? Poor bastard." The Boss paces back and forth again, "You two'll have to crack her open without him, 'till he gets here. Looks like a fairly standard dungeon - we know the first floor is an old hall, and there's basements beneath. Not sure what's in there, but we suspect kobolds, goblins or some vermin like that.""
[18:15] <Lucas> "That's it? No vampires or demons and minotaurs? We'll breeze through this, not even needing poor ol' Stoneshield to heal us up after the fact, I'm sure," the halfling says with cheerful confidence. "Where's this shithole at so we can jump in?"
[18:15] <Tyr> "Same old then, eh?" Tyr claps his hands together briskly. "Well, perhaps we can make a profit off of this milk run then."
[18:15] <Kotono> "Right there, the big fuckin' hall we're in front of." Pointing right at it, "Go right in those doors and kick some righteous ass and bring out the treasure!"
[18:16] * Tyr glances at Lucas. "Righto, boss. Since shorty here is so gung-ho about it, let's let him have the pleasure of diving in first."
[18:16] * Tyr grins.
[18:16] * Lucas starts laughing. "Well, okay, guess we won't be getting lost then. C'mon, pooch, and meatshield!" Lucas says as he starts stepping towards adventure and riches!
[18:17] * Tyr rolls his eyes good naturedly, following closely. "Oi! Meatshield? I'll have you know that I'm smarter than your average brute!"


[18:18] <Kotono> Thus, the two 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 and probably stuck. There's hints of a design on them, but the doors are mostly weathered down and smooth.
[18:19] <Tyr> "I saw we use your head as a battering ram." Tyr nudges Lucas gently. "How about it?"
[18:21] <Lucas> "I saw Boney here bites your balls off and I smash kick you from behind into the door while you're bent over. You have more mass, sure to go well," Lucas says with a smile. "That's my plan B anyway, let's try plan A first."
[18:21] * Lucas examines the doors more closely, checking it out and simply trying to push it open or pull it.
[18:23] <Tyr> "Gee pal, don't hold back. Tell me how you *really* feel." Tyr comments dryly, folding his arms and letting the halfling do his thing. If brute force is needed, he'll supply it with no problems!
[18:24] <Kotono> The door is old and weathered - the hints of some sort of carving are there. The door doesn't open to a simple push or pull.
[18:25] * Tyr squints at the carving, trying to make it out. "Hold on, what's this?"
[18:25] <Lucas> "So hey, Tyr, you're hoping to be some bigshot paladin when your balls finish dropping right? S'that because of the name you carry, or you actually believe all that code junk?" the halfling asks, frowning as the door doesn't react to such simple techniques. Noting Tyr found something (maybe), Lucas moves closer to examine the same thing.
[18:25] <Kotono> OOC: Spot check.
[18:26] <Lucas> roll d20+2 spot
[18:26] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+2 spot and gets 9." [d20=7]
[18:26] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5
[18:26] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 and gets 10." [1d20=5]
[18:26] <Kotono> Lucas can't quite make out anything. Tyr can make out what looks to be the head of something...scaly. Nothing else, it's too faded to his eyes. Scaly and vicious-looking.
[18:27] <Lucas> "Okay, let's go with Plan B...modified. You do all the work and kick the door down," Lucas suggests.
[18:28] * Tyr raises an eyebrow. "I'm more worried about this giant, scaley looking on the door...thing than my future career choices." Tyr gets a bit closer to the door, placing both palms against the doors and bracing his feet on the floor.
[18:29] * Tyr takes a deep breath and PUSHES with all his might!
[18:29] <Kotono> OOC: Str check, Tyr.
[18:29] <Tyr> roll 1d20+4 Str
[18:29] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+4 Str and gets 23." [1d20=19]
[18:29] * Lucas leans down and starts playing with his dog, patting it and scruffing up it's fur while Tyr makes grunting effort-filled noises. "Who's a good boy, you are, yes you are!" he coos at Boney.
[18:30] <Tyr> "YOU! COULD! HELP! DAMN...YOOOOU!" Tyr grunts as he tries his hardest to open the doors!
[18:30] <Kotono> With pure, virile masculinity, Tyr pushes the door open! It flies open, a gust of musty old air battering the duo. 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.
[18:32] * Tyr waves a hand in front of his face, trying to escape the musty scent. "Pshaw! That's some nasty old air."
[18:32] <Lucas> "Why? You had the stuff! Knew my faith was well placed!" Lucas says, moving closer to the paladin, stretching onto the tip of his toes and patting him in the back of the head. "See, Boney, he's such a good boy he is!" he says, turning to the dog which comes and also begins pawing the paladin, wagging it's tail.
[18:32] * Tyr leans down on his knees for a moment, breathing deeply. It's not easy being a manly man on these expeditions!
[18:33] <Kotono> Fresh air continues to mix with musty air, the two meeting as the tomb gets new air for the first time in clearly a long while.
[18:33] * Tyr smiles, patting Boney on the head. "Aw, you're a good lad. Unlike your bastard of a master." He straightened up. "Right! To work we go."


[18:33] <Lucas> While Tyr recovers from his efforts (kid needs more stamina, Lucas makes a mental note), the halfling beguiler starts looking around the room, searching for any signs of immediate treasure. Not likely to find something in the first room, but hey.
[18:34] <Kotono> OOC: Make a search check, Lucas. Also, are you opening the tombs? Also, spot check both of you.
[18:34] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 spot
[18:34] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 15." [1d20=10]
[18:34] <Lucas> roll d20+6 search
[18:34] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+6 search and gets 13." [d20=7]
[18:34] <Lucas> roll d20+2 spot
[18:34] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+2 spot and gets 15." [d20=13]
[18:34] <Lucas> roll d20+5 spot (boney)
[18:34] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 spot (boney) and gets 10." [d20=5]
[18:34] <Lucas> ooc: Yes, I'm opening tombs
[18:35] <Kotono> There's not much around. The tapestries are too aged to be worth a copper, and the coffins have nothing but bone dust in them. Meanwhile as Tyr looks about, he sees something to his right - 5ft away and coming at him! A spider the size of a dinner plate, creeping and crawling right for his foot! OOC: Init here, you didn't get ambushed. A merry start.
[18:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 Spider
[18:36] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 Spider and gets 7." [1d20=4]
[18:36] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 init
[18:36] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 init and gets 23." [1d20=18]
[18:36] * Kotono changes topic to 'Tyr(23)>Spider(7)'
[18:36] <Lucas> roll d20+3 init
[18:36] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+3 init and gets 11." [d20=8]
[18:37] * Kotono changes topic to 'Tyr(23)>Lucas(11)>Spider(7)'
[18:37] <Kotono> OOC: Boney?
[18:37] <Lucas> roll d20+3 guard doggie, don't die~
[18:37] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+3 guard doggie, don't die~ and gets 9." [d20=6]
[18:37] * Kotono changes topic to 'Tyr(23)>Lucas(11)>Boney(9)>Spider(7)'
[18:37] <Kotono> OOG: Go Tyr. There's a dinner plate sized spider a mere 5ft from you.
[18:39] * Tyr unsheathes his longsword and leaps forward to deliver the first strike~!
[18:39] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 I SHALL SMITE THEE
[18:39] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 I SHALL SMITE THEE and gets 24." [1d20=18]
[18:39] <Kotono> OOC: Is that an actual use of smite evil?
[18:39] <Tyr> OOC: Er, figure of speech. Sorry
[18:39] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, just wanted to be clear. Hit, damage.
[18:40] <Tyr> roll 1d8+4 Mmm, legless spiders are fun
[18:40] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d8+4 Mmm, legless spiders are fun and gets 8." [1d8=4]
[18:40] <Kotono> Poor little spider! While no spider is ever innocent, this one did nothing to immediately provoke this, save being a spider. Tyr's blade of justice cuts down, cleaving the arachnid in two! It dies before it can even react, neatly split apart! OOC: Free act. That was easy.
[18:41] * Tyr blinks, ichor dripping off of his sword. "That's...it?" He looks disappointed, slinging the ichor off of his sword and sheathing it. "D'ya think I should give the next one a sporting chance?"
[18:43] * Lucas claps in a very slow manner, just the tips of his fingers smacking against his other hand's palms, causing a very light noise to be heard. "Bravo, brave soldier. Knew we didn't need that Stoneshield fella....well, as long as you don't give 'em those sporting chances of yours. I'm not dragging your ass out if you get poisoned."
[18:45] * Tyr shrugs. "Fair enough. You're too much of a weakling to haul me around anyway." He bows extravagantly and gestures at the door at the far end of the hall. "Midgets and ladies first."
[18:47] <Lucas> "Hey, I am what I am. I may not be able to haul you out, but I've got razor sharp moves that'll keep you out of trouble, got me?" Lucas says with a dismissive sniff as he starts moving forward again. "Nothing here besides that spider, I guess. Poor welcome, honestly. You'd think those kobolds and goblins didn't -want- to be raided!"


[18:47] <Kotono> 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!
[18:48] <Lucas> Boney bounces off after the halfling, his tongue lolling out the side of it's mouth as Lucas once more tries the simple tried and true tactic of pulling and opening to see if that works.
[18:48] * Tyr studies it a moment. "Hmm. If there's one of *these* down here...well, let's just say that we're going to be putting in a request for extra Danger Pay."
[18:48] <Lucas> ooc: pulling and pushing*
[18:48] <Kotono> OOC: Listen check, you two, as you approach.
[18:49] <Lucas> roll d20+4 listen
[18:49] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+4 listen and gets 22." [d20=18]
[18:49] <Lucas> roll d20+5 listen (boney)
[18:49] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 listen (boney) and gets 18." [d20=13]
[18:49] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 listen
[18:49] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 listen and gets 25." [1d20=20]
[18:49] <Kotono> As Lucas and Tyr approach, they can hear footsteps from behind the door.
[18:50] * Tyr holds up a hand in warning and gestures to each side of the door. "Ambush!" He mouths furiously, then darts to the right side of the door frame!
[18:51] * Lucas pats the mutt and makes a shushing sound as the dog starts to slowly growl. "Sssssh, boy. I hear them," he whispers calmingly to Boney, while nodding to Tyr. Well, might not be an ambush, might be the kobolds coming down to welcome him as king of their people, but honestly, who's want to rule over those mooks?
[18:52] <Lucas> "Wait and see if they open the door for us?" Lucas asks quietly, moving away from the door. "Or kick it open on their faces and knock them off their asses when they're at the door?"
[18:52] * Tyr holds up a finger, signaling the first option. It wouldn't hurt to have their work done for them!
[18:53] <Kotono> The duo waits! The sounds behind the door go a little longer, then grow quiet, no immediate opening of the door.
[18:54] * Lucas nods, stepping away from the door, wanting to save his spells as he pulls his sling and places one of his bullets in it, starting to swing the sling, ready to let it loose at the first face to come through that looks uglier than the humans.
[18:55] * Tyr raises an eyebrow at Lucas and makes a pushing motion at the door. He holds a palm out, telling Lucas to stay put, sling at the ready!
[18:56] * Tyr loosens his sword in his sheathe and braces himself against this door much like he did the first.
[18:56] <Tyr> With a mighty tightening of muscles, Tyr threw himself at the door!
[18:56] <Kotono> OOC: Str check.
[18:57] <Tyr> roll 1d20+4 str
[18:57] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+4 str and gets 13." [1d20=9]
[18:58] <Kotono> This time the door gives without any resistance at all! Tyr tumbles forward, and ahead? 10ft ahead are a pair - two small, lizard-like humanoids! They have short swords at the ready, staring at Tyr in shock! Behind them are two more - they have slings at the ready, also clearly surprised! One of them barks in Common, "Aaaaah! Intruder!" As...OOC: You both get a surprise round. Act.
[19:00] <Lucas> "No shit you've got intruders!" Lucas exclaims with a laugh as he fires the sling at the closes of them, aiming for its eyes just to be extra mean. Boney just growls at the creatures from Lucas' side, it's fur standing on edge, claws and teeth visible, but does not immediately attack.
[19:00] <Lucas> roll d20+5 sling
[19:00] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 sling and gets 16." [d20=11]
[19:01] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[19:01] <Lucas> roll d3-1 yay, shitty strength *laughs*
[19:01] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d3-1 yay, shitty strength *laughs* and gets 2." [d3=3]
[19:01] <Kotono> A sling bullet fires, hitting the kobold right in the middle of his eyes! He staggers with the blow, crying out as he wobbles like a drunken fool! OOC: Tyr.
[19:03] * Lucas giggles girlishly at his success. "Huzzah!"
[19:04] * Tyr stumbles forward, barely keeping his balance. Seeing Lucas land a hit, Tyr draws his sword and leaps forward, trying to rush into melee range!
[19:07] <Tyr> With a roar, he swings his blade down upon the stunned enemy!
[19:08] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 Killing in the name of~
[19:08] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 Killing in the name of~ and gets 25." [1d20=19]
[19:08] <Kotono> OOC: Crit threat. Attack roll again to confirm.
[19:09] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6
[19:09] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 and gets 16." [1d20=10]
[19:09] <Kotono> OOC: Crit. Damage.
[19:10] <Tyr> roll 1d8+8 damage
[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d8+8 damage and gets 13." [1d8=5]
[19:10] <Kotono> With one deft stroke, a sword-kobold is decapitated! Down it goes, dead before it even got to live the dream of killing Tyr! Now the remaining three begin to react and rally! OOC: Init.
[19:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1 Sword-bold
[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 Sword-bold and gets 14." [1d20=13]
[19:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Sling-bold 1
[19:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Sling-bold 2
[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Sling-bold 1 and gets 4." [1d20=2]
[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Sling-bold 2 and gets 14." [1d20=12]
[19:10] <Lucas> roll d20+3 Lucas
[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+3 Lucas and gets 13." [d20=10]
[19:10] <Lucas> roll d20+3 Boney
[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+3 Boney and gets 18." [d20=15]
[19:10] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 init
[19:10] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 init and gets 15." [1d20=10]
[19:11] * Kotono changes topic to 'Boney(18)>Lucas(15)>Swordbold=Slingbold 2(14)>Lucas(13)>Slingbold 1(4)'
[19:11] <Kotono> OOC: Go Boney.
[19:11] <Lucas> Boney continues to hold until his master is attacked, staying by his master's side, watching the ugly creatures that his master and friend are attacking. OOC: holding/readying to attack any kobold that attacks Lucas.
[19:12] <Kotono> OOC: Lucas, go.
[19:12] * Lucas loads another bullet and lets it fly again at the sword wielding kobold, this time aiming for it's teeth!
[19:12] <Lucas> roll d20+5
[19:12] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 and gets 11." [d20=6]
[19:13] <Kotono> This time Lucas fires, but it bounces off the side of the kobold, a mere graze that does little if anything! A moment later, the sword-bold turns to Tyr, letting out a scaly battle cry as he tries to stab him like a hooker that wants too much gold!
[19:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1 AC, Tyr?
[19:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 AC, Lucas? and gets 9." [1d20=8]
[19:14] * Kotono changes topic to 'Boney(18)>Lucas(15)>Swordbold=Slingbold 2(14)>Tyr(13)>Slingbold 1(4)'
[19:14] <Lucas> ooc: I think we switched me and Tyr actually, but oh well~
[19:14] <Kotono> But the blow misses, getting only air! Meanwhile the second slingbold takes his sling up and loads it - not with rocks, but a handful of tiny spiders, launching it at Lucas!
[19:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 touch AC, Lucas?
[19:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 touch AC, Lucas? and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[19:15] <Lucas> ooc: those get through on touch AC. 14 :(
[19:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 regular AC now?
[19:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 regular AC now? and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[19:15] <Lucas> ooc: 18
[19:16] <Kotono> Lucas has spiders all over him! Ack, spiders! Crawling all over him, but he manages to avoid any bites! OOC: Tyr, go.
[19:16] * Kotono changes topic to 'Boney(18)>Lucas(15; spidered)>Swordbold=Slingbold 2(14)>Tyr(13)>Slingbold 1(4)'
[19:16] * Tyr closes the distance to the next enemy with a sword and seeks to cleave it in two!
[19:17] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 Killin' in the name of Tyr~
[19:17] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 Killin' in the name of Tyr~ and gets 23." [1d20=17]
[19:17] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[19:17] <Tyr> roll 1d8+4 damage
[19:17] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d8+4 damage and gets 5." [1d8=1]
[19:18] <Kotono> A swing and wow, those intestines are flying right out of the severed stomach of the sword-bold! IT collapses int a heap, setting records for dying with painful misery! OOC: Slingbold 1 is up.
[19:18] * Kotono changes topic to 'Boney(18)>Lucas(15; spidered)>Slingbold 2(14)>Tyr(13)>Slingbold 1(4)'
[19:18] <Lucas> "Ack! You little bitch! You die now!" he screams as he bats away at the spiders, spitting as he flails. Boney growls and rushes in for a kill now, charging at the kobold as Tyr finishes off the kobold blocking the dog's path, leaping for it's throat.
[19:18] <Lucas> ooc: dog is taking it's held action
[19:18] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead.
[19:18] <Lucas> roll d20+4 charge
[19:18] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+4 charge and gets 18." [d20=14]
[19:19] * Kotono changes topic to 'Lucas(15; spidered)>Slingbold 2(14)>Tyr(13)>Boney(12)>Slingbold 1(4)'
[19:19] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[19:19] <Lucas> roll d4+1
[19:19] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d4+1 and gets 2." [d4=1]
[19:19] <Kotono> Lucas charges in, biting the nasty spider slinging dog! As one kobold gets a chunk bitten out of its side, the other steps back and fires spiders at the hound!
[19:19] <Lucas> "Good boy! You're getting beef tonight!" the halfling yells after the dog.
[19:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 touch AC?
[19:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 touch AC? and gets 21." [1d20=18]
[19:20] <Lucas> ooc: waaaay less than that
[19:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 regular AC, Boney
[19:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 regular AC, Boney and gets 17." [1d20=14]
[19:20] <Lucas> ooc: regular ac = 15, and with charge, 13. Don't die my loyal doggie! ;_;
[19:20] <Kotono> OOC: 1 damage and fortitude.
[19:20] <Lucas> roll d20+4 fort
[19:20] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+4 fort and gets 9." [d20=5]
[19:21] <Kotono> roll 1d3 str damage
[19:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 str damage and gets 3." [1d3=3]
[19:21] * Kotono changes topic to 'Lucas(15; spidered)>Slingbold 2(14)>Tyr(13)>Boney(12; poisoned)>Slingbold 1(4)'
[19:22] <Kotono> The spiders land on the intrepid hound, biting him all over as poison burns hot in his veins! OOC: Ow. Lucas you're up, and what's Boney's str now?
[19:22] <Lucas> ooc: Str went from 13->10
[19:22] * Kotono changes topic to 'Lucas(15; spidered)>Slingbold 2(14)>Tyr(13)>Boney(12; spidered; poisoned)>Slingbold 1(4)'
[19:22] <Kotono> OOC: You're also covered in spiders, Lucas. May wanna do something about that.
[19:25] <Lucas> "Nooooo, my cute puppy! You...you monsters!" Lucas sobs, as he makes gestures, ignoring the spiders and instead dropping his sling as he begins gesturing and chanting before casting a spell in the direction of the kobolds, trying to make them fall asleep. "I'm going to make Tyr kill you in your sleep, you meanies!"
[19:25] <Lucas> ooc: casting sleep, will negates
[19:25] <Lucas> ooc: save dc = 14
[19:26] <Kotono> roll 2#1d20-1
[19:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2#1d20-1 and gets 14." [2#1d20-1 = 12, 2]
[19:27] <Kotono> Calling on the symbol of sleep, the two kobolds are abruptly sent to dreamland! They're out like a light, snoring away. Meanwhile the spiders continue to bite at Lucas!
[19:27] <Lucas> ooc: would the sleep also make the spiders/dog fall asleep? spiders on the dog, that is, not on me, those are still going to be nasty.
[19:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 AC?
[19:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 AC? and gets 11." [1d20=8]
[19:27] <Lucas> ooc: AC 18
[19:27] <Kotono> OOC: Too many spiders to target.
[19:27] <Kotono> OOC: Free act. Boney has spiders on him and is poisoned, and Lucas has spiders on him. May wanna do something about those.
[19:29] * Lucas starts squishing the spiders on him with a scowl. "Go clean my puppy up then slit their throats!" the halfling commands. After a brief pause, because it's his puppy's health on the line, he adds an unusual "Please?" at the end.
[19:30] <Tyr> "Well, since you asked so nicely..." Tyr sighs and kneels next to Boney. "C'mere boy. Let's get those nasty things off'a you." He proceeds to flick the spiders off, careful to avoid being bitten.
[19:30] <Kotono> The spiders are Lucas are squashed and brushed off! Likewise Tyr is able to brush them off Boney before he's further bitten!
[19:31] <Tyr> Boney clean, Tyr steps over to the sleeping Kobolds and neatly decapitates them with two swift strokes!
[19:31] <Lucas> Boney shakes to clean off spider bits off its fur, and wags it's tail again, though he does look a bit less energetic now.
[19:32] <Kotono> The kobolds are as dead as the other two kobolds, creating four dead kobolds. Quite dead, leaving behind slings, short swords and their clothing - it's dirty leathers, looks like.
[19:32] <Lucas> Lucas sniffles as he rushes the dog, sliding to his knees as he grabs the dog in a big embrace. "I'm sorry the mean ol' kobolds did that! I won't let them hurt you again, no I won't!"
[19:32] <Kotono> OOC: Make the secondary fort save for the poisoning, Boney?
[19:32] <Lucas> roll d20+4
[19:32] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+4 and gets 10." [d20=6]
[19:33] <Kotono> roll 1d3 str damage ow
[19:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3 str damage ow and gets 3." [1d3=3]
[19:33] <Lucas> ooc: Damn you Hatbot, stop trying to kill my doggie!
[19:34] <Tyr> "Right. Shall we continue on?"
[19:35] <Lucas> Boney whimpers as Lucas hugs him, his tail isn't wagging very much. Lucas is suddenly feeling very bad that the cleric isn't around. "Curse that useless cleric! Where is he when his services are actually needed?" the halfling yells, stomping. He bites his lower lip at Tyr's question, but finally nods. He'll have to try to hold back Boney from attacking creatures, but it's not in him to pull back at the first sign of danger.


[19:35] <Kotono> Past them there's a stairway that winds on down, surrounded on three sides by a wall.
[19:36] <Kotono> OOC: What's your marching order ahead?
[19:36] <Lucas> OOC: I'm actually going to hold back with the dog, Tyr can take the lead, then Lucas, then Boney trotting behind Lucas.
[19:36] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Tyr, make a spot check.
[19:37] <Tyr> "Don't worry, Luke. We'll keep ole Boney alive." Tyr unsheathed his sword and started down the stairs. "There'll be a big steak in it for him if we make a decent enough haul!"
[19:37] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 spot
[19:37] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 18." [1d20=13]
[19:37] <Kotono> The way ahead is quite dim - the only light comes from a few glowing bits of moss on the wall. But as you go down, Tyr's sharp eyes catch something! A stair with a panel built in, as if just waiting for someone to carelessly step on it!
[19:38] <Lucas> "None of those silly human nicknames! Call me Lucas, or even halfling, or shorty!" Lucas replies immediately. "Or else I shall be forced to call you Tiramisu!"
[19:39] * Tyr holds a hand up. "If you call me that, Shorty, next time I won't point out the rigged stair for your benefit!"
[19:40] * Tyr tries to draw a crude x on the wall next to the step, to mark its location should they beat a hasty retreat.
[19:40] <Lucas> "Then it's a good thing we have an understanding regarding nicknames!" Lucas declares in kind, stopping and gesturing the dog to sit while he examines the stairs more closely as Tyr does his markings.
[19:41] <Kotono> OOC: What are you using to draw with?
[19:41] <Lucas> ooc: kobold blood~
[19:41] <Tyr> OOC: Tip of my sword. Better than nothing, I guess.
[19:43] <Kotono> Carving into the stone, Tyr manages to make an X. It makes some considerable scraping noise to do so, and as it happens? "Yah!" Another kobold!, this one 20ft down and ust at the edge of your vision on the winding stair! This one snaps off a sling bullet at Tyr, "No one takes our treasure!" The kobold shouts before retreating back out of sight!
[19:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 flatfooted AC?
[19:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 flatfooted AC? and gets 16." [1d20=13]
[19:43] <Tyr> OOC: 16
[19:43] <Kotono> roll 1d3-1 (minimum 1 damage)
[19:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3-1 (minimum 1 damage) and gets 2." [1d3=3]
[19:44] <Kotono> OW! The sling-bullet gets Tyr right in the fucking nose! OW!
[19:44] * Tyr reaches up and grabs his nose with one hand. "UGHGKLJGL!"
[19:45] <Kotono> Echoing from downstairs and out of sight, "Come and get us, big clumsy cocksuckers!"
[19:47] <Tyr> Growling under his breath, Tyr sheathes his sword and unlimbers his shortbow. No way in hell was he going to stupidly charge down the stairs!
[19:48] <Lucas> "Okay, I like the cut of his jib. Need to cut him up some more to see if I'll like the rest of him," Lucas notes, as he sidesteps further away from the stairs so he's not in sight of the kobold for attacks while they plan their next move. He pulls Boney back with his collar while he's moving out of line of sight.
[19:48] <Lucas> "But first, how do we get past the stairs? I didn't get a good look, honestly."
[19:50] <Tyr> "Just don't step on the step I marked." Nocking an arrow, he carefully stepped over the rigged step and began creeping down the stairs, arrow ready to fire at the slightest bit of movement!


[19:51] <Kotono> Down the stairs the party goes, down and down and down! Down the last turn and...10ft below, you can see the entryway to a cave! However, that's not all! Four kobolds 15ft away, just insight! Each of them has a sling readied, "Big clumsy spotted!" One shots, "Fiiiire!" OOC: Init here, they know you're coming and aren't surprised, and vice versa.
[19:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Slingbold 1
[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Slingbold 1 and gets 12." [1d20=10]
[19:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Slingbold
[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Slingbold  and gets 21." [1d20=19]
[19:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Slingbold 3
[19:52] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 Slingbold 4
[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Slingbold 3 and gets 12." [1d20=10]
[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 Slingbold 4 and gets 10." [1d20=8]
[19:52] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 init
[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 init and gets 11." [1d20=6]
[19:52] * Kotono changes topic to 'Slingbold 2(21)>Slingbold 3=Slingbold 1(12)>Slingbold 4(10)'
[19:52] <Lucas> "Hey Tyr, I forget, do kobolds count as real people, or just monsters?" Lucas asks, as he commands the dog to wait at the bottom.
[19:52] * Kotono changes topic to 'Slingbold 2(21)>Slingbold 3=Slingbold 1(12)>Tyr(11)>Slingbold 4(10)'
[19:52] <Lucas> roll d20+3 Lucas
[19:52] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+3 Lucas and gets 13." [d20=10]
[19:52] <Lucas> ooc: want me to roll for boney even though I'm making him stay downstairs?
[19:52] * Kotono changes topic to 'Slingbold 2(21)>Lucas(13)>Slingbold 3=Slingbold 1(12)>Tyr(11)>Slingbold 4(10)'
[19:53] <Kotono> OOC: You mean upstairs?
[19:53] <Lucas> ooc: err, yes.
[19:53] <Kotono> OOC: No need.
[19:53] <Kotono> Before anyone can act, a slingshot bullet is fired at Tyr on point!
[19:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+3 flatfooted AC, Tyr?
[19:53] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+3 flatfooted AC, Tyr? and gets 8." [1d20=5]
[19:53] <Tyr> OOC: 16
[19:53] <Kotono> Ting! The bullet bounces off Tyr's armor, barely even making a dent! OOC: Lucas, go.
[19:54] <Tyr> "SHUT UP AND KILL STUFF!" Tyr shouts, trying to hug the wall and spot any kind of cover at the bottom of the stairs!
[19:54] <Kotono> There isn't any cover Tyr can see, only kobolds with slings and painful rocks!
[19:56] * Lucas jumps past the marked step until the kobolds are all in sight, and waving his hands again, muttering under his breath, until the spell is completed, and gesturing his hands towards the four kobolds, he yells, "I'm going to cram your spiders in your mouth before I stomp you to death!!!"
[19:56] <Lucas> ooc: sleep again, DC 14
[19:56] <Kotono> roll 4#1d20-1
[19:56] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4#1d20-1 and gets 61." [4#1d20-1 = 15, 13, 18, 15]
[19:56] <Lucas> ooc: the three that made their saves take -2 to attack rolls and AC
[19:56] * Kotono changes topic to 'Slingbold 2(21; sleep)>Lucas(13)>Slingbold 3=Slingbold 1(12)>Tyr(11)>Slingbold 4(10)'
[19:57] <Lucas> ooc: from unsettling enchantment
[19:57] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[19:57] <Lucas> ooc: so does the sleeping one if he gets woken up
[19:57] <Kotono> Again the symbol of sleep is called on! This time only one kobold passes out, the other three still up! A moment later, a pair of sling bullets fly - but these two are at Lucas! "Magic user! Magic user! Kill!"
[19:57] <Kotono> roll 2#1d20+1 (-2 unsettling enchantment)
[19:57] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2#1d20+1 (-2 unsettling enchantment) and gets 29." [2#1d20+1 = 10, 19]
[19:57] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
[19:57] <Lucas> ooc: AC 18
[19:58] <Kotono> roll 1d3-1 ow
[19:58] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d3-1 ow and gets 0." [1d3=1]
[19:58] <Kotono> OW! A sling bullet gets Lucas right in the groin! OW! It's not quite as damage as painful, but OW! OOC: Tyr, go.
[19:59] * Lucas squeaks. "You! You I'm going to pee on before I slit your throat!" he says, pointing at the kobold.
[20:00] <Tyr> "I'd say karma's getting you back for that ball-dropping joke, shorty!" Even as he made a ballsy comment, Tyr aimed at the nearest kobold still awake and let loose his arrow!
[20:00] <Tyr> roll 1d20+2 ARROW OF DEATH
[20:00] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+2 ARROW OF DEATH and gets 19." [1d20=17]
[20:00] <Kotono> OOC: That be a hit.
[20:00] <Tyr> roll 1d6 Die, baby, die
[20:00] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d6 Die, baby, die and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[20:00] * Kotono changes topic to 'Slingbold 2(21; sleep)>Lucas(13)>Slingbold 3(12)>Tyr(11)>Slingbold 4(10)'
[20:01] <Kotono> The first kobold gets an arrow right in the throat! Like all pointy things in his throat, it only ends badly as he collapses, gushing blood and dying! Meanwhile the fourth kobold slings off a rock at Tyr before beating a hasty retreat away!
[20:01] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1
[20:01] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 10." [1d20=9]
[20:01] <Kotono> But this one bounces off his armor, harmless! OOC: Slingbold 2 is sleepin'. Lucas.
[20:04] * Lucas draws his own sling and gets into a flinging contest with his adversary, the dreaded groin shooter.
[20:04] <Lucas> roll d20+5
[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 and gets 19." [d20=14]
[20:04] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:04] <Lucas> roll d3-1
[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d3-1 and gets 1." [d3=2]
[20:04] <Kotono> OW! In revenge that kobold takes one in his groin, doubling over in pain! Stumbling back, he tries and loads his sling! OOC: AoO, Tyr, if you wanna take it.
[20:05] <Lucas> "How do you like that?!?" Lucas exclaims, pumping his fist as his aim is true.
[20:06] * Tyr drops his bow and darts forward with a battle cry, charging the fleeing kobold!
[20:06] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 charge
[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 charge and gets 13." [1d20=7]
[20:06] <Kotono> OOC: Oh wait, you have a bow equipped. You can't melee 'em anyway. Strike that.
[20:06] <Kotono> OW! In revenge that kobold takes one in his groin, doubling over in pain! Stumbling back, he tries and loads his sling, firing one off at Lucas in revenge!
[20:06] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1 AC Lucas?
[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 AC Lucas? and gets 13." [1d20=12]
[20:06] <Lucas> ooc: 18! I duck the dreaded rock!
[20:07] <Tyr> OOC: Oh. I can't even drop something then draw in one motion?
[20:07] <Kotono> Wham! Another shot, but this one sidestepped as it hits the wall! OOC: Okay, Tyr, go.
[20:07] <Kotono> OOC: AoO requires you to threaten. With a bow equipped you don't threaten. It's your turn, go ahead.
[20:07] * Tyr drops his bow and darts forward with a battle cry,  drawing his sword and charging the fleeing kobold!
[20:08] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6 charge
[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 charge and gets 7." [1d20=1]
[20:08] <Kotono> Tyr charges in, but stubs his toe on a bit of rock! He stumbles instead, sword missing wildly! The retreating slingbold steps back five feet and aims a bullet, right at Tyr's groin!
[20:08] <Kotono> roll 1d20=1
[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20=1 and gets Error: Numeric values only." [1d20=5]
[20:08] <Kotono> OOOC: Zee whiff.
[20:09] <Kotono> But it misses, going between his legs instead! OOC: Lucas, go.
[20:09] <Lucas> "What is it with you kobolds and groin shots?" Lucas complains. "Okay, they're fun and all, but what's wrong with a good old fashioned eye poke? Look!"
[20:09] <Lucas> roll d20+5
[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 and gets 14." [d20=9]
[20:10] <Kotono> Another bullet and another miss! At this return fire happens, "It works!" The kobold retorts, aiming low once again at Lucas and stepping away from Tyr!
[20:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1
[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 17." [1d20=16]
[20:10] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
[20:10] <Lucas> ooc: 18
[20:10] <Kotono> But it's a narrow miss, within an inch of a critical blow to the one place no one ever wants to be hit! OOC: Tyr.
[20:10] <Lucas> "Only when you have the element of surprise! You've got one shot for three, you little scaly bitch!" Lucas taunts.
[20:11] <Tyr> "Leave my manhood in peace, you vile little horror!" Tyr swings to defend his groin!
[20:11] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6
[20:11] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
[20:11] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:11] <Tyr> roll 1d8+4 DIE
[20:11] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d8+4 DIE and gets 6." [1d8=2]
[20:12] <Kotono> Hit! The manhood of all righteous paladins is thus defended, the kobold chopped in two! OOC: Ow. Lucas, go.
[20:12] * Kotono changes topic to 'Slingbold 2(21; sleep)>Lucas(13)>Slingbold 3(12)>Tyr(11)'
[20:13] * Lucas flings another bullet at the kobold's eye. No more words need to be said between them! It is a debate that can only be resolved with action, not words! Their ideologies are at stake!
[20:13] <Lucas> roll d20+5
[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+5 and gets 8." [d20=3]
[20:13] <Kotono> A miss, and another shot low follows!
[20:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+1
[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+1 and gets 7." [1d20=6]
[20:13] <Kotono> Both miss! Both somehow miss, avoiding one another, ideologies at total war! OOC: Tyr, go
[20:13] <Kotono> .
[20:14] <Tyr> "Dammit, Shorty! I'm doing ALL THE WORK!" Tyr swings once more, righteous sword arcing toward the kobold!
[20:14] <Lucas> "...just so you know, I'm going to try to put you to sleep now. Assuming Tyr doesn't murder you in a most painful fashion to save me a spell for later."
[20:14] <Tyr> roll 1d20+6
[20:14] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+6 and gets 18." [1d20=12]
[20:14] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
[20:14] <Tyr> roll 1d8+4 Bitches don't know
[20:14] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d8+4 Bitches don't know and gets 5." [1d8=1]
[20:15] <Kotono> With one slice, it is over! The kobold is cut down the middle, falling into two hunks! OOC: Free act.
[20:15] <Lucas> "...Yeah, he saved me a spell," the halfling says drily as blood splatters as the sword cuts through the kobold.


[20:15] <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.
[20:15] * Tyr grumpily stomps over to the sleeping kobold and stabs it in the chest.
[20:16] <Kotono> In an amazing and shocking turn of events, the kobold is dead after that.
[20:16] <Lucas> "...And who's doing all the work? I softened them up for you! In case you didn't notice, they were kind of dazed and their aim was kind of worse than probably is normal for them," he retorts, as he goes to fetch his dog.
[20:16] * Tyr then retrieves his bow, strapping it on securely. "Damn things are getting annoying!"
[20:17] <Tyr> "Bah. Our pay should be split 60-40, as I've been trying to tell the Boss." Tyr calls out jokingly as he waits for them to return.
[20:17] <Lucas> Pausing at the top of the stairs, Lucas realizes... "HEY!" he shouts down. "Come up and carry my dog down! I don't exactly speak canine, so I can't tell him to watch out for the trapped step!"
[20:19] * Tyr sighs and grudgingly climbs the stairs, slings Boney over his shoulder, and avoids the step on the way down.  "Now, tunnel or door?" He gingerly sets Boney down as he speaks.
[20:20] <Kotono> The dog trip is without incident and you reach the bottom once more.


[20:20] <Lucas> "Let's try the tunnels. Maybe we'll see goblins down there instead of more kobolds," Lucas suggests. "Boss did say there might be some of those, right?"
[20:21] * Tyr shrugs. "Goblins or kobolds, they both die on the end of a sword."
[20:21] * Tyr takes the lead down the tunnel!
[20:23] <Kotono> As you walk down the tunnel...OOC: Spot check, Tyr?
[20:23] <Tyr> roll 1d20+5 spot
[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+5 spot and gets 16." [1d20=11]
[20:24] <Kotono> As you walk along, Tyr's sharp eyes catch something at the nick of time! Just before he puts his foot down, he notices the ground ahead is a different color in a square patch! His balance is off, teetering even as he notices that and is about to step down on it!
[20:24] * Tyr tries to throw himself backward before he steps on the obvious trap!
[20:26] <Kotono> OOC: Balance check?
[20:27] * Lucas yelps as Tyr backpedals straight into him, and he tries to support him in keeping his balance so the human doesn't squish him.
[20:27] <Tyr> roll 1d20 balance oh god
[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20 balance oh god and gets 10." [1d20=10]
[20:27] <Lucas> ooc: Any aid rolls?
[20:28] <Kotono> OOC: You can try, Lucas.
[20:28] <Kotono> OOC: Warning.
[20:28] <Lucas> ooc: roll what, balance as well?
[20:28] <Kotono> OOC: A severe failure could drag you down too.
[20:28] <Kotono> OOC: Yes, aid another balance.
[20:29] <Lucas> roll d20+1
[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Lucas rolls d20+1 and gets 5." [d20=4]
[20:29] <Lucas> ooc: drag away~!
[20:29] <Lucas> ooc: for adventure~!
[20:30] <Kotono> Ack! Tyr can't quite regain his balance...and Lucas reaches out, but the weight of the human is too much! He's pulled forward, as both step forward...and the floor collapses, the two hurtling down into a pit full of wooden stakes!
[20:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 AC Tyr
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 AC Tyr and gets 14." [1d20=12]
[20:30] <Tyr> 18
[20:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 AC Lucas, flatfooted AC since you can't really dodge here.
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 AC Lucas, flatfooted AC since you can't really dodge here. and gets 8." [1d20=6]
[20:30] <Kotono> roll 1d6 falling damage you two and no more, lucky.
[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 falling damage you two and no more, lucky. and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[20:31] <Kotono> OOC: Ow, not so lucky after all. Ow.
[20:33] <Kotono> WHAM! The two manage to avoid the stakes, but fall hard and take the worst of it! In particular, Lucas hears the crack of his ribs breaking! Not good! Not good at all! The pit is 10ft deep, and both of you are currently face down in it, miraculously avoiding any stakes.
[20:34] <Lucas> "Ow! Ow! Motherfucking OW!" Lucas says, feeling like shit after that. "I...I think it's time to head back. Without Belros around, I'm this close to dropping dead," the halfling declares, wincing as his body aches and bruises all over.
[20:34] * Tyr sits up, wincing. "Oh gods, please don't tell me you broke your back."
[20:34] * Tyr nods agreement. "Just hold on. Let me rig a rope here..."
[20:34] <Lucas> "No...Just my ribs. That'll teach me to try and help...motherfucking OW."
[20:35] * Tyr digs out his grappling hook and one of his coils of silk rope. Tying off the rope to the grappling hook, Tyr manages to stumble to his feet and heave the grappling up to the lip of the hole!
[20:35] <Kotono> The grappling hook catches easily enough.
[20:36] * Tyr tugs once or twice to make sure it digs firmly into the earth.
[20:36] <Kotono> It's good and hooked in.
[20:36] * Lucas stretches his hands out, clenching his hands out and making a 'Carry me!' gesture at the paladin. "Okay, brave hero, time for you to live up to your paladin code of standards. I'm apparently reduced to the weak and helpless now."
[20:37] <Tyr> "Oh, NOW you want me to be all goody-goody." Tyr grumbles, but picks up Lucas as gently as possible. "You're going to have to hang on to my neck. Don't think I can climb with one hand."
[20:38] <Lucas> "Hey, I resent that! I like you perfectly goody-goody the rest of the time too! I just rub it in your face more meanly when I don't have use for you," he says as he does as told.
[20:39] <Tyr> Wincing with pain, Tyr begins the climb up, hoping to the gods that his grip didn't slip halfway to the top!
[20:39] <Kotono> OOC: Climb check. Make sure to include your armor check penalty to the roll.
[20:40] <Tyr> roll 1d20+3 climb please baby jesus
[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Tyr rolls 1d20+3 climb please baby jesus and gets 17." [1d20=14]
[20:40] <Kotono> Somehow, Tyr manages to make the climb up! Whew! No miserable death for him and Lucas today!
[20:41] * Tyr sets Lucas down, coils up the rope and returns it to his pack, and then gingerly picks Lucas back up. "Let's get the hell outta here! We'll try again once we're healed up."
[20:41] * Tyr begins trotting back to the entrance!
[20:42] <Lucas> "Okay, I guess we're only taking home the swords from those two kobolds, today. Not a great day, but getting out alive beats getting out as a corpse!" Lucas says, following after Tyr.


[20:42] <Kotono> OOC: If you're going to grab any loot, say so IC and do so. I keep track and I haven't seen any sort of a loot pickup yet.
[20:42] <Lucas> ooc: We haven't picked up anything yet. I'd check to see if there's anything in the corpses on the way back, assuming they're still there
[20:43] <Tyr> OOC: Yeah, sure. Let's do that. maybe they'll have something on them. We definitely need to get the swords. With a few gold, at least.
[20:43] <Lucas> ooc: If they've been looted by other scavengers, I will simply have to curse~
[20:43] <Kotono> On the corpses, Lucas finds the following (besides agony from his beaten body): 2 small swordswords, two small slings, about 9 sling stones and 4 sets of dirty, bloodied leather armor.
[20:44] * Lucas gleefully passes it on to the big strong paladin to carry.
[20:44] * Tyr snarls quietly at Lucas, but accepts the burden. At least they'll get *something* out of this debacle.
[20:44] <Kotono> Lugging loots out, Tyr and Lucas escape! The boss is waiting for them, arms crossed. "Holy hell in a shitbasket," he whistles, "You two look like you got beaten to hell. How'd you do? By the way, Stoneshield still hasn't shown. Bastard must be shitting out the King's scepter at this rate."
[20:45] <Lucas> "Yeah, bastard would have been useful, my ribs might not hurt like they do. Remind me, do we get insurance doing this again, Boss?" the halfling asks with a wince, holding his chest as he hobbles out.
[20:46] <Tyr> "Yeah, we really did. We got a fair ways in, but as you can see, we need some healing." Tyr gestured to his loot filled backpack. "At least we didn't come back *completely* empty handed."
[20:46] <Lucas> "You were right about vermin by the by, just kobolds and spiders though, no sign of goblins or anything else so far."
[20:47] <Kotono> "We'll get ya patched up," The Boss says, "Go on home and knock a few back, we'll give 'er a shot again tomorrow."
[20:47] * Tyr nods. "Roger that, Boss."
