"Let's not rest with these statues," adds Tchaener. "They're trapped, somehow. Better to rest up near the doors, and we'll be ready for if something comes out."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?

The rest goes without incident. While you do recover, a chill enters your bones. One that doesn't leave, the stony floor leeching away the heat from your tired meat. All of you are rather hungry as well.

Go ahead and react/wake up/get going.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"Alright. Firstly, let us check on the door that wizards lurk behind," stays Tchaener. "It may be trapped, so I will inspect it first."

The kobold lair is quiet, any of the beasts still here hiding deep in thier huts. The door ahead looms, ready for Tsch to cast his magic if he wishes.

Tchaener casts Find Traps, ready to discern if this door has some fell magic cast upon it!

"There's nothing here," cautions Tchaener. "Ready to scout ahead?"

Dracos

"Sure.  This time I won't get spotted." He opened the door to check first.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

The stench of kobolds fades from your nose; the murmur of water is heard. The steel floor ahead is bisected by a river that should be impossible, eleven feet wide and four feet deep. Only a supremely narrow, single log in the center is any sort of crossing, slippery and unstable. Another long rectangle of a room, cut neatly in half down the middle by the river.

The river is barely moving, but is full of jellyfish. Teeming over with the vile things, burbling up and ready. Past the river are four, each faceless and with an aura of evil around them. An aura you feel all too well, choking your senses. Each wears a black robe, hands extended, unlined and smooth. They are about six feet away from the far edge of the water, the river an excellent natural barrier. Near the left hand side of the river there are no torches, obscuring that end wall of the water.You can't really get a good look there.

Past them are twin, rusted iron double doors. What lies beyond them is a mystery.

"Alright," says Tchaener, thinking. "Alright. I'm going to cast Silence on them, so they can't cast spells, and then you should be able to get to the river and throw knives at them.

I'll stay back, and support you from here. Corwin can't get them unless they come on our side of the river- the log's too dangerous."

Nonetheless, Tchaener casts two Protection From Evil spells; one for himself, and one for Aesop. "In fact, you may as well pull up the log from your side- that way, they won't be able to cross, either. Then, we can pick them off at leisure."

Dracos

"No, let's wait till they get on it.  Then pull so they fall into the river." Aesop suggests.   "Otherwise a sound plan...this silence will remove their..ranged abilities?"

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Carthrat

"So the theory goes," replies Tchaener, frowning. "They don't have mouths, though... hmm. Well, let's try, anyway. Ready?"

Dracos

"I'll get close first." Aesop moved, sneaking over by the river crouched.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Carthrat

Tchaener mumbles of a spell, bestowing magical silence upon the wizards at the other side of the river!

OOC: Hide move silent checks
[13:07] <Dracos> roll 1d100 vs 90
[13:07] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 vs 90 and gets 70." [1d100=70]
[13:07] <Dracos> roll 1d100 vs 90
[13:07] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 vs 90 and gets 4." [1d100=4]
[13:08] <Dracos> I'm going to crouch near the log, staying low ready to throw or yank the log out.
Well, Goodbye.
