This log is from the storyline event on January 18, 2023, from the viewpoint of Avalera.
Note: This log has been heavily edited sheerly for brevity. If there is anything that was removed that seemed important, please feel free to add it in the appropriate place.
Synopsis
Late in the evening of the eighteenth day of Lormesta, Magister Enisius Dhenin requested a meeting with adventurer's of Wehnimer's Landing. Upon meeting in the pavilion of the imperial campsite, the magister shared a request: At the behest of his brother, Elidal Dhenin, he would be sending out a scouting party of individuals with the intent of gathering information regarding the feras forge that Gnul ensconced in the Sentoph region.
After discussion of the ideal scouting candidate, a varied assortment of individuals were chosen. These included dwarven sorcerer, Gutstorm, giantman empath, Irval, sylvan ranger, Kelfyr, a human warrior, Perigourd, paladins, Avalera, a human, and Ulfwine, a half-elf, and the halfling wizards, Skoll and Earthdiver. The group, later referred to as the Kobold Krew, were instructed on their mission then given a faceted black-violet feystone pin - an illusion pin crafted to make them appear as kobold - and a small glass sand-filled talisman, a device to be used to map the area were the forge is located.
The kobold krew set forth, accomplished their mission, and returned generally unscathed. The talisman's were then broken to magically create a map that would allow an attack with the burrowing orb borrowed from dwarves by Amos.

The Scouts
[The Circle Stone] Crafted from thick lengths of heavy black leather, the tent's edges sway slightly. A varnished wooden desk is set near the back, with evenly stacked sheets of vellum organized neatly upon it. A rune-etched circular stone table dominates the center of the pavilion, bordered by several wooden stools. Wisps of yellow, green, and cyan smoke curl up from crystal beakers that continuously bubble within a rhimar-lined rack. You also see the glossy pink Astrilyn disk shaped like a jellyfish, the Guarrin disk, a melancholy wasteland spirit that is flying around, the repousse copper Perigourd disk raised in leafy designs, a happy ocean spirit that is flying around, an animated flayed gigas disciple, a flame-etched glass mirror and a tent flap. The air ripples and Enisius blinks into existence. Enisius is greeted and returns the gesture. Enisius says, "There's a lot of you, but yes, I suppose that works better." Enisius says, "More to choose from." Perigourd asks, "Choose for what?" Enisius says, "Sab...Commander Sablo believes he has located a possible entrance to Gnul's feras forge." Enisius says, "We are not certain, but it is possible." Irval asks, "So strike while the iron is hot? You know since its a forge and all? Least a scouting mission to verify?" Enisius says, "Yes, scouting mission." Enisius says, "We are not ready to launch a strike. We need to know more of the area." Enisius says, "So my brother has asked that some of you undergo that task." Perigourd says, "One should always know the field they're to fight on." Enisius says, "...and I have been taken from application reviews, to help prepare some useful aide." Enisius says, "We believe the forge is far beneath the Sentoph." Speaking quietly to Enisius, Raelee mutters, "Always another crisis to interfere with our actual work. Do get used to it." Speaking to Enisius, Guarrin asks, "When will this scouting mission occur?" Enisius says, "There have been some kobolds spotted from time tot ime in the area, and their tracks lost. We believe they are traveling there." Enisius says, "Tonight." Enisius nods at Guarrin. Enisius says, "I have..." Enisius pulls a faceted black-violet feystone pin from his robes. Enisius says, "There is not enough for everyone. Only some of you will be able to go and scout." Enisius looks at his palm. Enisius says, "This. is. a. gathering. mission. only." Enisius says, "Repeat." Enisius says, "This. is. a. gathering. mission. only." Kayse clarifies, "Intel...." Enisius says, "So half of you are excluded." Enisius smirks. Enisius says, "The pin will create a temporary illusion, making the wearer appear like a kobold." Perigourd says, "Interesting." Enisius says, "I will need you to also take some of my magical trinkets with you, as you travel to the forge. Their magic will help map the area, so when you return, they will be broken and their magic released." Enisius says, "It is absolutely critical you do NOT break them before you return to me." Speaking drunkenly to Enisius, Gutstorm slurs, "Sign up me up!" Enisius says, "I did not count, my apprentices crafted them quickly for me. They will not last forever." Enisius says, "Who...." Gutstorm glances at Enisius and raises his hand. Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd asks, "How long will they last?" Perigourd says, "It would be nice to know how long the cover will maintain." Enisius asks, "Who among you is trustworthy, can be stealthy, and behave?" Gutstorm glances at Enisius and raises his hand. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me me!" Gutstorm nods enthusiastically! Missoni nods encouragingly at Perigourd. Enisius says, "I do not know. You will sense when they begin to weaken." Enisius glances at Gutstorm. Enisius says, "No." Perigourd nods at Enisius. You say, "I have trustworthy and I can behave. Stealthy, I can try." You say, "Sober falls under "behaving"." You nod at Gutstorm. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me am debashtated." Lylia says, "...I would vouch for him." Lylia glances at Gutstorm. Enisius peers quizzically at Lylia. Speaking to Enisius, Irval says, "I can assist in this endeavor...Also I can heal a bit. In case." Enisius asks, "You, vouch for that thing?" Gutstorm gazes admiringly at Lylia. Lylia adds, "IF he were alone. IF he were not with his whole crew of friends. Yes." Lylia says, "He is a sorcerer under all...this." Enisius glances at Gutstorm. (Lylia gestures vaguely at Gutstorm.) Stormyrain says, "I have seen him sober." Irval says, "Better to make it back alive." Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd says, "Out of all of us, he may be the best to portray a kobold should talking need be done." Enisius says, "Do NOT attack. Do NOT strike. Do NOT break the talisman." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me wont rob da bank, me shwear to nook ferda forch!" Enisius asks, "Do you understand?" Enisius peers quizzically at Gutstorm. Enisius says, "Tell me you understand." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me unnershtan." Gutstorm turns toward Enisius and renders a sharp hand salute. Enisius glances at Gutstorm. Gutstorm looks rather relaxed. Enisius says, "..show me your best kobold." Enisius nods at Gutstorm. Gutstorm falls over. (Raelee gives Enisius a dismayed look.) Gutstorm stands up. Enisius sighs. Perigourd nods approvingly at Gutstorm. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "How dat?" Enisius glances at Raelee. Lylia says, "I have seen him sober. Hunted with him, and discussed sorcery with him." Speaking to Gutstorm, Xorus says, "They pronounce it more like 'Sawwrrry' than 'Shorrry'." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Oh right, Shorree!" Enisius asks, "Who else wishes to be considered?" Enisius says, "Oh..." Kelfyr says, "I'll go." Enisius says, "We will need someone who is able to teleport everyone home." Perigourd says, "I'll volunteer as well, if desired." Enisius says, "Incase there is no easy way out." Enisius glances at Irval. Enisius glances at Kelfyr. Irval says, "I can do that." Enisius says, "...show me your best kobold." You say, "I would go also. Working under the cover of night is what I do." Stormyrain smiles at you. Kelfyr grumbles. Kelfyr says, "If you want me to squat down behind you while Gut shoves you over, I certainly can." Earthdiver says, "Wot to do wot to do." Enisius nods at Kelfyr. Enisius says, "Noted...you will go." Enisius nods at Kelfyr. Enisius asks, "You are able to teleport others?" Enisius peers quizzically at Irval. Enisius nods. Enisius says, "Gutstorm, Kelfyr, Irval." Enisius peers quizzically at you. Enisius says, "We need those who can when needed apply stealth, be observant, return with good details.." Enisius asks, "You offered you?" You say, "I am safe under the cover of night, it's rather what I do." Enisius peers quizzically at you. You say, "The Lord of Night will guide me." Enisius says, "No one is safe under night, but I believe I understand your proposed meanig." You ask, "I am relatively safe under the cover of night?" You say, "If that is a more accurate statement." Enisius nods to you. Enisius says, "Closer." You undo the fastenings of your imflass metal breastplate and remove it. Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd says, "I'll go as well." Enisius looks around the room. Earthdiver says, "Do you need more? I can also go." Enisius glances at Perigourd. Enisius nods at Perigourd. Perigourd turns toward Enisius and renders a sharp hand salute. Enisius glances at Earthdiver. Kelfyr says, "When this all goes sideways, will be good to have someone drag my corpse back to civilization." Enisius says, "You are large...you may fit. We will try." Enisius nods at Earthdiver. Earthdiver says, "No fighting." Perigourd nods in agreement at Earthdiver. You say, "No corpse dragging. I can send corpses to town." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me mean, shtealth gatterin mission." Enisius says, "Do not openly share what you find in your thoughts. We do not know if Gnul is listening. But you may use your symbols to reveal things to others if you wish, things that you see." Speaking to Enisius, Pukk says, "Then Guts is the wrong person for this." Kelfyr asks, "Should be remove any spells upon us now? Or will the disguise also encompass those?" Skoll quietly says, "I can stay here and help gain sight on any of those that follow voln's order." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me not know how to think, me perfect." Speaking heartily to Enisius, Dwi says, "I tested it...nope...not lissenin." Kelfyr says, "In a pinch, I can whisper some distance." Stormyrain asks, "Will targetted thoughts be a risk?" Enisius says, "The disguise should suffice." Earthdiver says, "No kobolds on horses, sorry." Enisius says, "Targetted thoughts? No." Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk says, "Pretend you are sneaking into Lylia's room again. Be quiet and stealthy." Xorus says, "I suggest bumping into each other at times, perhaps walking in circles and fretting about 'wot to do?'." Lylia shifts her eyes to Pukk. Irval suddenly stumbles for no apparent reason. Speaking to Guarrin, Stormyrain asks, "The Gryphons will direct thoughts to you if needed, yes?" Enisius says, "Gutstorm. Kelfyr. Irval. Avalera. Perigourd. Earthdiver." Earthdiver exclaims, "I've always wanted one of these!" Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll asks, "I feel the forward command is well equipped; what precautions do we need to take as a base camp?" Speaking to Dwi, Pukk says, "Gut can just go as a big gnome." Speaking to Stormyrain, Guarrin says, "Yes. I can keep an eye on Perigourd and Avalera through Voln as well." Enisius says, "If they are discovered, Gnul may launch an attack." Enisius nods at Skoll. Speaking to Enisius, Kiyna says, "Is there anything required of those who do not go? I assume we stand by in case... yes, that." Enisius nods at Kiyna. Enisius says, "If all goes well, there will be no disturbance, nothing for us to do but wait for the intelligence to return to us." Ulfwine nods at Lylia. Vaemyr asks, "Do you want... some people to perhaps be decoys? Perhaps scouting Thanatoph at the same time? Being well... not so sneaky?" Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll asks, "Shall we place our faith in luck, or is there something proactive we can do to support?" Enisius says, "No, there is no need to scout further. We do not wish to draw anything else." Speaking to Stormyrain, Guarrin says, "The militia should likely be ready." Tikba says, "We are not placing our faith in luck, but in Gutstorm." Speaking to Tikba, Vaemyr says, "So we are doomed, all doomed." Lylia says, "I know he would not risk disappointing me." Lylia turns to face Gutstorm. Enisius asks, "I've two illusion pins remaining. Are there any others with a penchant for stealth, and observation?" Skoll shrugs at Enisius. You quietly whisper to Gutstorm, "I'm trusting you not to get us caught. Or me killed." Ulfwine says, "I have no skill at stealth, as much as I would like to go." Ulfwine sighs. Gutstorm whispers, "Every kobolt ferdem shelf!" Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll says, "If by stealth, you mean the ability to cast invisibility, I would throw my name in the ring." Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll says, "As it is better than standing by and doing nothing." You quietly whisper to Gutstorm, "I will totally leave your stumpy corpse behind then." Enisius says, "You will not need to be invisible. The pin will disguise you." Speaking darkly to Enisius, Wolfloner says, "I am very stealthy but clumsy. Afraid I would break the pin." Enisius asks, "Do you wish to go?" Pukk says, "Raelee is good at appearing out of nowhere to scare everybody." Enisius peers quizzically at Skoll. Ulfwine nods at Enisius. Ulfwine says, "I will go." Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll says, "Aye, I do." Enisius nods at Skoll. Enisius nods at Ulfwine. Gutstorm gawks at you. Kelfyr says, "No weapons." Speaking to Irval, Vaemyr says, "I probably would not be weilding weapons walking around." Speaking to Irval, Perigourd says, "I hould think we won't need them to be successful." Perigourd says, "Should, rather." Speaking to Irval, Kiyna says, "As few as you are, if it turns violent, I would flee with all haste." Kelfyr says, "Be armed by your bravery."
Scouting
Note: Travel to and around Sentoph was edited for brevity, but the log is still quite long.
You quietly whisper aloud, "I think best way would be to avoid the area around Iva's temple." Ulfwine says, "Sentoph, with Storm Giant friends." Perigourd gazes in wonder at his surroundings. A grey orc plods in and sniffs the air! Kelfyr exclaims, "Dibs on first shiny gem!" You quietly whisper aloud, "Those vereri notice everything. As do the wolfhounds." Gutstorm drunkenly whispers aloud, "We here." Skoll cowers away from a grey orc. Irval whispers to the group, "Better get into kooboldkin mindset." Perigourd stamps his feet. The surroundings are engulfed in gusts of white snow. Irval whispers to the group, "Sooner dan later." Earthdiver glances at a fluffy white cat. Ulfwine points west. Perigourd exclaims, "I'se thinkin' we be losted!" Perigourd's group just went west. You casually observe your surroundings. Skoll squints at Irval. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wot to doo!" Earthdiver says, "Wot not to do." Perigourd gazes northwest. Skoll pushes on Irval without much success. You say, "Thems orcs have stoopid weapons." Earthdiver says, "Is more important question." Perigourd exclaims, "A feller!" Perigourd's group just went northwest. Ulfwine says, "Then trail." Irval says, "We be findah the place! Gotsta beeze arun har." Irval suddenly stumbles for no apparent reason. You glance at a fluffy white cat. Ulfwine points northeast. Irval glances around the area. Earthdiver helps himself to a wriggling earth worm. Irval gazes in wonder at his surroundings. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wot to doo!" Earthdiver takes a bite of his earth worm. Perigourd's group just went east. Ulfwine points at Earthdiver. You ask, "Whos brought dinners?" Earthdiver smacks his lips. Ulfwine points at a narrow ridge. Irval suddenly stumbles for no apparent reason. Skoll glances at a sprightly luck spirit. Ulfwine flails his arms about. Earthdiver offers you a wriggling earth worm. Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds. Speaking to you, Perigourd exclaims, "Ooo.. Deeenars!" Ulfwine giggles. You accept Earthdiver's offer and are now holding a wriggling earth worm. Earthdiver helps himself to a wriggling earth worm. Perigourd's group just climbed a narrow ridge. Ulfwine begins chuckling at Perigourd! A kobold just arrived. You nod approvingly. Gutstorm waves to the kobold. Earthdiver asks, "Whos next for food?" Ulfwine exclaims, "Shiny!" Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Bruther!" Earthdiver surreptitiously glances at a kobold. Perigourd cackles! Perigourd turns toward a kobold with a shout of exultation! Skoll looks at a kobold and cheers! Irval says, "On seccas." Earthdiver hoots excitedly at a kobold and runs around flapping his arms in the air. Kelfyr barks wildly at a kobold! Ulfwine waves to the kobold. A kobold stares at Irval and mumbles, "Ye sure es big for en orc!" Speaking to a kobold, Perigourd exclaims, "Wees be losted!" Ulfwine exclaims, "Friend!" Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wot to do wot to doo!" Earthdiver exclaims, "No orcs here!" Earthdiver takes a bite of his earth worm. Irval exclaims, "Imza not a orc!" Earthdiver gasps. Earthdiver asks, "Orcs! Where??" Kelfyr says, "If we's not get to work, gonna get bopped so hard again." A kobold just arrived. Ulfwine says, "No orcses, bad orcses." Perigourd faces Earthdiver and shrieks at the top of his lungs. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "No orc here." Speaking to a kobold, you say, "Point uses to village. Gotta pee." Ulfwine stumbles back a few steps as he ducks his head and throws his arm up in a defensive gesture. Earthdiver cowers. A kobold swings a morning star at a kobold! AS: +28 vs DS: +35 with AvD: +33 + d100 roll: +6 = +32 A clean miss. The kobold says, "Blargh! I'se soooo sawry!" The kobold points at Ulfwine and says, "I'se aiming for him!" Speaking to Earthdiver, Perigourd exclaims, "Orcs be tougher!" Earthdiver takes a bite of his earth worm. Earthdiver faces a kobold and shrieks at the top of his lungs. Perigourd points at Ulfwine. A skeletal giant just arrived. Perigourd bursts out in loud, raucous laughter. A kobold exclaims, "Whatch uts!" Earthdiver takes a bite of his earth worm. Kelfyr sticks his tongue out at a kobold and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from his lips! You take a bite of your earth worm. Earthy notes embrace your taste buds. Your earth worm leaves a rather bitter and grassy aftertaste. You have one bite left. A kobold scratches under its arm and spits. Earthdiver says, "Oh gosh." You shriek! Perigourd exclaims, "Eek!" Perigourd's group just went southeast. A kobold just arrived. Irval exclaims, "Oh maz!" A kobold exclaims, "Eeek giants!" A kobold just went south. Ulfwine says, "Ooo Giants." Perigourd's group just went south. Irval exclaims, "Ta maniess!" A kobold just arrived. Earthdiver says, "I'm soo small." Earthdiver sobs. Perigourd exclaims, "Ruuuuun!" Kelfyr exclaims, "No gets stepped on!" Ulfwine screams! Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Giant try eat meez." A sprightly luck spirit fades into ethereal form and wafts away. You say, "Runses from the big uglies." A kobold nods. A kobold hops back and forth shifting its weight between its feet. You take a bite of your earth worm. Earthy notes embrace your taste buds. Your earth worm leaves a rather bitter and grassy aftertaste. That was the last of it! Perigourd leans to his left slightly. Kelfyr barks loudly! Earthdiver drools. Skoll just kicked Perigourd! Perigourd exclaims, "Oof!" You squint at Perigourd. A kobold sniffs around. Ulfwine falls over. Kelfyr says, "Ok, deys gone." Skoll quietly says, "Yipe." A kobold scowls and kicks a clod of dirt in your direction. Ulfwine thrashes around on the ground. You try to roll Perigourd over, but he isn't lying down. Gutstorm sniffs. Irval says, "Runza a from da giantz! I git loss sumdines." Earthdiver exclaims, "No fighten!" Perigourd stamps his feet at Skoll! Ulfwine sits up. Ulfwine stands up. Speaking to Skoll, Perigourd exclaims, "Knock that're off!" A kobold lifts up one finger to the wind. He then farts, and snorts laugh. Skoll quietly says, "No giants take candle." A kobold scowls and kicks a clod of dirt in Gutstorm's direction. Skoll cowers. Irval says, "Dinna wanz get stepped on." You snicker at a kobold! Earthdiver laughs at a kobold! Irval cackles at a kobold! Ulfwine suddenly cowers from a storm giant raising his arm in a defensive gesture. (Gutstorm kicks some dirt at the female kobold.) Skoll cowers away from a storm giant. A kobold just arrived. Earthdiver belches. Irval trips over something and lands right in front of a kobold. Kelfyr chuckles. The severe snowstorm blankets the entire area into white drifts. You say, "Smells likes you." A kobold heads northwest. Irval stands up. You glance at Gutstorm. Skoll quietly says, "You's no scare us." Perigourd makes a horrendously wet and sticky ordeal of clearing his throat and spits straight up into the air! Perigourd watches as the missile falls, narrowly missing himself yet landing directly between his feet. What a way to impress a date! You nod. Ulfwine says, "Mak em go 'way." Irval frowns. Perigourd nods. Skoll begins chuckling at Perigourd! Earthdiver says, "Wher am I." Skoll turns to Perigourd and cheers! Earthdiver looks rather confused. Perigourd lets loose a loud whoop of delight. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We git nuff us, we push giant over." Kelfyr says, "Giants forget, same team." A kobold thrusts with a spear at itself! AS: +28 vs DS: +54 with AvD: +28 + d100 roll: +85 = +87 A clean miss. The kobold blushes furiously! Ulfwine chuckles. Skoll quietly exclaims, "Get down and you's push' 'im!" A kobold kneels down, grabbing a stick from his pack, and begins to brush away some dirt, soon revealing a jagged hole in the ground that he climbs down insdie of. Earthdiver begins chuckling at a kobold! Skoll kneels down. [Upper Trollfang, Sentoph - 8454] (u16067) A huge monolith soars to the sky, its peak pointed like a tooth. As tall as it is, it's dwarfed by the summit of Sentoph, yet a few hundred yards over your head. It's large enough, however, to force you to climb a ways upslope to get around it. You also see a storm giant, a storm giant, a kobold, the violet Skoll disk, the skull-shaped Irval disk, a kobold and a fresh jagged hole. Obvious paths: north, southwest, northwest Gutstorm points at a fresh jagged hole. Kelfyr sniffs. Earthdiver exclaims, "Ohhh a hole!" A kobold picks something out of its ear and examines it closely. With a silly grin, the kobold pops it into its mouth and crunches it between its fangs. Ulfwine exclaims, "Ahhh, holesie for hiding!" A storm giant's dull grey eyes flash with electricity for a moment. Skoll furrows his brow. Skoll stands up. Perigourd sniffs at a fresh jagged hole. Kelfyr squints at a kobold. Perigourd exclaims, "Smeeeels like fooods!" You exclaim, "Runses from the big uglies!" Kelfyr says, "Lucky." A storm giant draws a glowing sigil in the air! A light blue glow surrounds a storm giant. Earthdiver sniffs at a fresh jagged hole. Perigourd's group just went into a fresh jagged hole. [Narrow Chute - ] (u9179790) The walls are packed in tight, with little room to move or breathe. Jagged stone surrounds you on every side as a length of crude wooden pegs provide a makeshift ladder down into the darkness below. Obvious exits: down Irval says, "Ooo daz da hole. I koob it was arun har somwha." Earthdiver gasps. Ulfwine blinks. You nod slightly. Skoll squints. Perigourd gazes in wonder at his surroundings. You casually observe your surroundings. Earthdiver says, "Into the darknessss we go." Perigourd adopts an agreeable expression. Ulfwine whispers to the group, ""Symbol of need don't send in here." Earthdiver glances down. Perigourd exclaims, "I love da dark!" Perigourd bounces around happily. Perigourd moves slowly down the narrow chute, slowed by the small space in which to climb. Perigourd's group just went down. Roundtime: 25 sec. [Narrow Chute - ] (u9179791) The walls are packed in tight, with little room to move or breathe. Jagged stone surrounds you on every side as a length of crude wooden pegs provide a makeshift ladder down into the darkness below. Obvious exits: up, down Earthdiver gasps. Ulfwine appears less confident and fearless. Kelfyr whispers to the group, "Stay optimistic that we don't need it." Ulfwine's aura of lambent white-gold light motes dissipates slowly, winking out of existence. Think on gryphons So far, so good, but it's a difficult trek underground. You focus on projecting your thoughts. Irval whispers to the group, "Musta count on da surprizes ta happen. No plan survives first contact." Perigourd exclaims, "Ooo, it holds yer tight!" Ulfwine seems to lose some focus as his eyes narrow and shift momentarily to one side. Ulfwine nods. Skoll furrows his brow. Ulfwine loses the flickering pale blue energy surrounding him. Earthdiver hums happily to himself. Perigourd moves slowly down the narrow chute, slowed by the small space in which to climb. Perigourd's group just went down. Roundtime: 25 sec. [Narrow Chute - ] (u9179792) The walls are packed in tight, with little room to move or breathe. Jagged stone surrounds you on every side as a length of crude wooden pegs provide a makeshift ladder down into the darkness below. Obvious exits: up, down Skoll quietly says, "Oos is gettin' dark." Ulfwine appears to be less clearly focused. Kelfyr whispers to the group, "Reported back that we found the way in." Irval exclaims, "Weeeeeeeeeee!" Skoll whines. Earthdiver squints. You exclaim, "Get yur bony bits outta my face!" Skoll nods at Kelfyr. A crimson mist bleeds out from Ulfwine's exposed skin. Ulfwine says, "Is tall ladder." Perigourd exclaims, "Oof! Who steepped on mer feet!" Earthdiver sobs. You tilt your head up. Ulfwine grumbles. [Narrow Chute - ] (u9179792) The walls are packed in tight, with little room to move or breathe. Jagged stone surrounds you on every side as a length of crude wooden pegs provide a makeshift ladder down into the darkness below. You also see the skull-shaped Irval disk and the violet Skoll disk. Obvious exits: up, down Perigourd pushes on Kelfyr without much success. Perigourd thumps Gutstorm! Ulfwine gazes at his surroundings. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Git off mah nose." Perigourd moves slowly down the narrow chute, slowed by the small space in which to climb. Perigourd's group just went down. Roundtime: 25 sec. [Narrow Chute - ] (u9179793) The walls are packed in tight, with little room to move or breathe. Jagged stone surrounds you on every side as a length of crude wooden pegs provide a makeshift ladder down into the darkness below. Obvious exits: up, down Kelfyr says, "I hope nunna youz made dis ladder." Skoll squints. Speaking to Gutstorm, you exclaim, "Pick yur own nose!" Irval exclaims, "No trippee nows!" Earthdiver says, "Isso dark." You say, "But saves me a bit." You nod at Gutstorm. Perigourd exclaims, "Yar yar, dem pegs be good're nuff fer me!" The giant purple squirrel on Irval's shoulder makes a sudden flying leap, apparently trying to gain access to the top of his head. Muttering under his breath, he manages to herd the recalcitrant rodent back to his shoulder. Perigourd moves slowly down the narrow chute, slowed by the small space in which to climb. Perigourd's group just went down. Roundtime: 25 sec. [Narrow Chute - ] (u9179794) The walls are packed in tight, with little room to move or breathe. Jagged stone surrounds you on every side as a length of crude wooden pegs provide a makeshift ladder down into the darkness below. Obvious exits: up, down Kelfyr says, "Ooh, squirrel is good eats." Earthdiver gasps. Perigourd exclaims, "Squireel!" Perigourd gazes in wonder at his surroundings. Earthdiver's reinforced shield vanishes into the depths of his black cloak. Kelfyr says, "I call tail." Ulfwine says, "Is long chute." Earthdiver helps himself to some chunks of plump squirrel meat. Ulfwine says, "Nice chute." Perigourd holds out his palm, looking for a handout. Irval reaches up and snags a grizzled giant purple squirrel with onyx black eyes, pulling the creature off his shoulder. Ulfwine giggles. Perigourd points at Earthdiver. Irval stuffs a grizzled giant purple squirrel with onyx black eyes into a trailing tonal onyx longcloak caught by a penannular scrimshaw clasp. Earthdiver offers Perigourd a small glass sand-filled talisman. Perigourd blinks at Irval. Earthdiver stares off into space. Earthdiver offers Perigourd some chunks of plump squirrel meat.

The grifter carefully tosses the chalk into a square and then hops through each square one at a time. Just as it looks like he is going to miss the square with the chalk, he stumbles and lands in it.

You furrow your brow, probably adding a wrinkle or two in the process. Perigourd whispers to the group, "We ought to pull back." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da pin gonna blowed up soon." Ulfwine whispers to the group, ""Maybe time to go." Skoll whispers to the group, "Warmth from pin?" Irval whispers to the group, "Thats the warning." Kelfyr says, "Let go find halfling to mug." Earthdiver suddenly looks like he wishes he were somewhere else. Ulfwine nods. Ulfwine nods. Perigourd nods approvingly. Earthdiver takes a drink from his stale beer. Perigourd exclaims, "Yarr!" Earthdiver says, "Works." Earthdiver sighs. Irval whispers to the group, "No not if it means time for da port to beginz." Skoll whispers to the group, "Sounds awfully signish." Ulfwine exclaims, "We's be going now!" Your surroundings blur into a white fog . . .
The kobold krew returns to the campsite
Mission Complete
Kelfyr takes a bite of his plump squirrel meat. Perigourd just went through a large black leather tent. Also here: Ulfwine, Seaward Gutstorm, Hospitaller Yukito, Kelfyr, Irval, Earthdiver, Perigourd, Sir Guarrin, Lady Kayani, Astrilyn, Dame Evia, Stormyrain, Town Councilor Vaemyr, Mourdeyan, Sarissa Xylador, Pukk, Bernadette, Archious, Bellaja, Goldstr, Dwi, Arahnim, Lord Xorus, Wolfloner, Missoni, Imperatrix Lylia, Magister Raelee who is sitting, Tikba, Town Councilor Kiyna, Sir Cryheart Obvious exits: none Some voices scream from within the camp, "Kobolds! Kobolds in the camp!" Stormyrain smiles at Kelfyr. Bellaja beams happily at Earthdiver! Xorus says, "The Feras process involves multiple sessions of lightning." Irval suddenly stumbles for no apparent reason. Mourdeyan grins. Tikba commends, "Good work." Mourdeyan turns to Ulfwine and cheers! Earthdiver offers Bellaja a half-filled bottle of stale beer. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Uh oh." Mourdeyan turns to you and cheers! Skoll quietly says, "An so I says... all these forks.." Guarrin applauds. Bellaja accepts Earthdiver's stale beer. Kelfyr says, "Such stinks." Skoll clears his throat. Perigourd yells, "We be fast kobbies too!" Mourdeyan turns to Gutstorm and cheers! Gutstorm wails! Kiyna lets out a cheer! Mourdeyan turns to Skoll and cheers! Guarrin says, "Seems everyone did well. Nicely done." Perigourd yells, "Yoose 'ever catch're us!" Speaking uncertainly to Earthdiver, Bellaja says, "Thanks." Kelfyr asks, "What pins?" Vaemyr says, "Welcome back everyone." Mourdeyan turns to Kelfyr and cheers! You say, "If you thought the kobold village smelled bad...well, you were right, but that smelled worse." Irval exclaims, "Wait! lets make sure we gets da talismans first!" Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi asks, "None ye eben know wotcha was lookin at eh?" Goldstr laughs! Ulfwine says, "I guess we discovered what we needed." Dwi shakes her head, clucking her tongue. Earthdiver exclaims, "Beer time!" Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk says, "I still think you look better like this." Speaking to Kelfyr, Kiyna says, "Pokey was very well-behaved." Skoll whispers to the group, "Habit and happenstance... i"M joinin' yas." Irval says, "No chance in riskin magick backlash." Wolfloner darkly says, "Well done." Ulfwine asks, "Where is the magister?" Speaking hopefully to Perigourd, Missoni says, "Take off that blasted thing." Lylia says, "Well done. All of you, brilliantly done." Earthdiver squirms and fidgets oddly for a moment. Kelfyr says, "Me save you last bite of squirrel." Stormyrain gazes in amusement at Missoni. Wolfloner nods at Lylia. Goldstr exclaims, "Great job ya Kobbies!" Perigourd takes a bite of his plump squirrel meat. You say, "By the Arkati, I need a bath." Earthdiver says, "Never going to get this smell off." Tikba laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement from Missoni. Gutstorm's feystone pin flashes with a bright light then crumbles into pieces. Perigourd offers Earthdiver some chunks of plump squirrel meat. Ulfwine says, "It was interesting." Irval says, "I feel sick after eating those worms." Mourdeyan says, "Good job everone." Earthdiver accepts Perigourd's plump squirrel meat. Yukito blinks. Tikba nods sympathetically at Gutstorm. Bellaja glances over at Gutstorm and winces. Speaking heartily to Irval, Dwi says, "Well..If'n Cryheart was der...he'd haff hit da mudder lode witta hammer...." Ulfwine says, "It's a good job we didn't stick around." Tikba awkwardly pats Gutstorm's arm. Cryheart rubs Gutstorm tenderly. Kelfyr exclaims, "Hey, dat not kobold!" Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wanted to be a kobold ferever." Earthdiver's plump squirrel meat vanishes into the depths of his black cloak. You say, "I feel sick just having gone down there." Speaking to Gutstorm, Perigourd exclaims, "Ye're nay a kobbie?!" Kelfyr says, "Dat drunk dwarf." Speaking to Gutstorm, Perigourd exclaims, "Betrayer!" Pukk exclaims, "Well done everybody!" Perigourd points at Gutstorm. Evia dusts you off. Perigourd points at Gutstorm. Ulfwine lets out a cheer! Perifourd's feystone pin flashes with a bright light then crumbles into pieces. Skoll quietly says, "If I had a meal for every fork we found." Ulfwine nods. Dwi quietly says, "Zap." Earthdiver takes off a faceted black-violet feystone pin. Skoll sighs. Pukk exclaims, "I couldn't have been any prouder!" Perigourd glances appraisingly around the room. ...and Perigourd's pin too. Speaking to Dwi, Irval says, "Good ting he not here then dwee." Perigourd carefully looks himself over. Speaking to himself, Perigourd says, "Thank Imaera." Astrilyn snickers. Perigourd mutters under his breath. Missoni squints at Perigourd. You say, "But we did see learn a bit." Earthdiver's feystone pin vanishes into the depths of his black cloak. Kiyna snickers at Perigourd. Missoni sniffs at Perigourd. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Can we break da shandbag now?" Tikba asks, "What happened when you arrived at the forge entry?" Missoni gives Perigourd a lingering kiss on the cheek. Gutstorm raises his sand-filled talisman skyward! Kelfyr slowly empties his lungs. Xylador says, "Good thing we didn't need the headstones..." Kelfyr takes off a faceted black-violet feystone pin. Xylador glances up. Speaking quietly to Tikba, Skoll says, "Still no food." Ulfwine says, "That was fun, but no place I'd want to be if the illusion failed." Xylador mutters perifourd. Speaking amusedly to Xylador, Tikba says, "One day." Cryheart says, "Think of the kobold smell ye hae to sleep with." Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "I aint fraid to say it...I coulda done a bedder job...but ye did good." Dwi leans softly against Gutstorm. Stormyrain looks rather relaxed. Speaking drunkenly to Dwi, Gutstorm slurs, "Me tried to get the blackshmiff to make me a feras claidhmore." Speaking to Tikba, Perigourd says, "The blacksmiths were.. suspicious." Ulfwine takes off an opal-inset mithril pin. Ulfwine puts on an opal-inset mithril pin. You say, "I don't think I'm going to be able to get the stench out of my nose." Tikba looks at Perigourd with concern. Speaking to Gutstorm, Vaemyr says, "I heard you found your inner calling, that you now shall challenge Yardie for kingship of the kobolds." Earthdiver says, "We had so much raw food." Earthdiver says, "We were clearly looking for a stove." Perigourd says, "But there were walls of magical lightning proctecing the entry to the forges." Earthdiver nods. Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "I was watchin Ulfwine...ye know...since yer ebil." Dwi nods at Gutstorm. Perigourd says, "We couldn't get a closer look at the anvils." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Yappie kin be king, me remain high shaman." The rest of the black-violet feystone pins flash and shatter. Ulfwine says, "They were blocked by a wall of lightning." Raelee's gaze takes on a distant cast. A warm white glow builds in her eyes, culminating in a radiant flash. Raelee gestures. You say, "Darn near zapped my hair trying to look." Perigourd nods thoughtfully. Ulfwine nods. Perigourd says, "We found three, but I suspect there are more in some of the other hovels." Perigourd says, "They've hidden fissures in some of them." Obvious exits: none Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Couple shtorm giant tickled med with lightninm made me hair shtanup." The air ripples and Enisius blinks into existence. Guarrin nods at Perigourd. Earthdiver nods to Enisius in greeting. Missoni nods slightly. Enisius asks, "You survived?" Dwi mutters something about stormies. Astrilyn appears less confident and fearless. You nod to Enisius in greeting. Perigourd says, "Those fissures lead directly to the forges." Cryheart nods at Enisius. Speaking to Perigourd, Pukk says, "Better be careful. I heard there is a Perifourd around here somewhere." Astrilyn seems to lose some focus as her eyes narrow and shift momentarily to one side. Irval says, "Of course." Kelfyr says, "They were carved with runes and worked by cyclopean blacksmiths." Evia says, "Clearly." Dwi stares at Enisius. Bernadette nods. Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd says, "Hopefully with some of my sanity still." Mourdeyan nods to Enisius in greeting. A crimson mist bleeds out from Astrilyn's exposed skin. Dwi scoffs. Speaking to Enisius, you ask, "Did you expect less?" Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd says, "But I'll get back to you on that." Raelee carefully closes her faded leather book, only to have a cloud of dust rise from its surface. Enisius says, "Fascinating." Enisius says, "Before you do anything else..." Enisius says, "Everyone...outside." Dwi mutters something about essperiments. Gutstorm places his hand on his sand-filled talisman. You wryly say, "I think I picked someone's nose." Ulfwine asks, ""Did you have so little faith in your illusion skills?" Moving out of the tent. Also here: Skoll, Perigourd, Town Councilor Vaemyr, Town Councilor Kiyna, Wolfloner, Kelfyr, Pukk, Earthdiver, Sir Cryheart, Hospitaller Yukito, Sir Guarrin, Astrilyn, Dame Evia, Stormyrain, Mourdeyan, Sarissa Xylador, Bernadette, Goldstr, Missoni, Imperatrix Lylia, Tikba, Lord Xorus, Magister Enisius Obvious paths: northeast, south, northwest Tikba casts a bemused glance at Enisius. Muted veins of metallic grey ripple beneath Mourdeyan's skin. Kelfyr slowly empties his lungs. The muted grey veins beneath Mourdeyan's skin withdraw, submerging out of sight. Evia smiles dizzily. Earthdiver says, "Time to hose down." Missoni casually observes her surroundings. Earthdiver's lips move soundlessly. Enisius asks, "Did you maintain the talismans in your hands at all times?" Earthdiver gestures. Water sprays forth and scours Earthdiver clean! A large splash of water drenches Earthdiver from head to toe! Earthdiver nods at Enisius. Perigourd nods at Enisius. You say, "I did." Speaking quietly to Earthdiver, Skoll asks, "Anymore of that "beer"?" Skoll snickers. Enisius nods. Perigourd says, "I believe we all did." Damp trickles of water drip from the ends of Earthdiver's hair. Kelfyr nods at Enisius. Enisius says, "You may throw them to the ground now." Speaking quietly to Earthdiver, Skoll says, "It's unfortunately addicting." Enisius nods. Skoll seems less resolute. Skoll accepts Earthdiver's stale beer. A sudden gust makes the snow dance and swirl around you. Large drops of water drip from Earthdiver's chin. Tikba takes a drink from her winterberry ale. Skoll raises his stale beer in a toast! Earthdiver tosses his talisman to the ground and it shatters, spilling out several specks of citrine colored sand that dissolve into the ground, Skoll takes a drink from his stale beer. Skoll gags. Kelfyr tosses his talisman to the ground and it shatters, spilling out several specks of citrine colored sand that dissolve into the ground, Enisius nods. Tikba glances down. Perigourd tosses his talisman to the ground and it shatters, spilling out several specks of citrine colored sand that dissolve into the ground, Thick runnels of water dribble down Earthdiver's face and pool around his collar bone. Water drips from Earthdiver's soaking wet pauldrons. Pukk asks, "Where is Gutstorm?" Missoni leans back. Pukk glances around the area. Perigourd says, "And Irval.." Skoll tosses his talisman to the ground and it shatters, spilling out several specks of citrine colored sand that dissolve into the ground, Tikba casually observes her surroundings. Kelfyr says, "Might still be in the tent." Tikba nods in agreement at Perigourd. Enisius says, "Inside still..." Tikba whispers a short prayer to Marlu followed by a soft incantation. Tikba gestures into the air. Tikba gets a frustrated look on her face. Magister Enisius just went through a large black leather tent. Irval suddenly pauses, a look of consternation crossing his features as he listens intently. A drop of water dribbles off Earthdiver's crystal. Enisius says, "You may throw them to the ground now." Enisius nods at Irval. Enisius nods at Ulfwine. Ulfwine tosses his talisman to the ground and it shatters, spilling out several specks of citrine colored sand that dissolve into the ground, Enisius says, "The...the talismans." The severe snowstorm blankets the entire area into white drifts. Irval tosses his talisman to the ground and it shatters, spilling out several specks of citrine colored sand that dissolve into the ground, For no apparent reason, Earthdiver flings himself at the ground. Earthdiver shivers. Ulfwine nods. Magister Enisius just went through a large black leather tent. Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk says, "Throw your talisman down on the ground." Enisius nods at Gutstorm. Earthdiver stands up. Enisius points down. Speaking heartily to Earthdiver, Dwi says, "Oh also...yer attempts at goin zerk? Sumpthin to be desired." Speaking to Gutstorm, Perigourd says, "A good time to break something for once." Kelfyr looks rather relaxed. Speaking to Enisius, Ulfwine says, ""Your illusions held up well, Magister." Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk says, "This is one of the few times people will ask you to break something." Skoll nods. Enisius says, "Of course." Ulfwine nods at Mourdeyan. Speaking quietly to Ulfwine, Skoll says, "Thankfully." Enisius nods at Ulfwine. A blinding flurry of snowflakes drifts down from the grey skies. Perigourd says, "Quite longer than i'd thought they would." Gutstorm tosses his talisman to the ground and it shatters, spilling out several specks of citrine colored sand that dissolve into the ground, Perigourd nods appreciatively. Speaking quietly to Ulfwine, Skoll says, "Everyone there was at least.... three times taller than us." Enisius nods at Gutstorm. Skoll shudders. Enisius says, "Excellent." Guarrin folds his hands behind his back. Irval says, "Im still dazed from your illusion. That perspective change isnt something I intend to repeat if one can help it. And oof Kobolds. We saw giants in there! Next time lets do giants." Speaking to Skoll, Kiyna asks, "How do you think I feel all the time?" Two young children chase each other in a nearby field, throwing canvas-wrapped balls as they run, trying to strike each other before disappearing further into the campsite. Irval nods knowingly at Enisius. Kayse shifts her weight. Enisius says, "I will be able to magically chart a more accurate line of travel for Amos and the Badger, with the talismans being used properly." Speaking to Kiyna, Perigourd says, "Those hovels were quite close." Ulfwine says, "It was not a pleasant place, not in the least." Enisius nods. Speaking quietly to Kiyna, Skoll says, "Preachin' to the choir sista." Kiyna nods knowingly at Skoll. (Dwi glances longingly at the kids in the field.) Ulfwine nods at Enisius. Mourdeyan nods at Enisius. You nod slowly. Tikba looks thoughtfully at Enisius. Enisius says, "It will burrow right into their cavern each transport." Enisius nods. Goldstr exclaims, "Ah Verra good fer dat!" Enisius says, "Fantastic." Enisius asks, "Now, tell us what you saw?" The severe snowstorm blankets the entire area into white drifts. Lady Kayani just went south. Lylia nods approvingly. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "How me git out here?" Ulfwine asks, "So the talismans were some sort of mapping device?" Enisius nods at Ulfwine. Irval gags. Ulfwine smiles. Irval says, "The smell well terrible." You say, "Well." Enisius says, "A beacon of sorts, yes." Firmly planting her feet equidistance apart, Missoni folds her hands. Speaking to Enisius, Vaemyr says, "If possible, make it go as close to the forge as possible... best to avoid unessary casualties if we need to fight throguh it..." Perigourd says, "There was a tunnel leading quite a ways down to a central cavern that branches out in many directions." Earthdiver says, "A wall of lightning." Ulfwine says, "Many Grimswarm types." Kelfyr says, "A hidden hole with a very long shaft." Irval says, "A very very long ladder." Perigourd nods at Kelfyr. Skoll quietly says, "An' comin' from Irval, that's sayin' somethin." Speaking heartily to Earthdiver, Dwi says, "Dat's ore." You say, "There were a number of varied beings. Some you wouldn't expect to see together." Irval glares at Skoll. Pukk says, "The talisman probably leaked sand that will act like a trail to magically follow or something." Enisius peers quizzically at you. Tikba nods thoughtfully. Kelfyr says, "All sorts of work being done down there. It's not a collection of fighters." Enisius asks, "Thoughts on that?" Mourdeyan says, "Pond." Enisius peers quizzically at you. You say, "Orcs and kobolds, doing things...together." A disconsolate swamp spirit hurriedly flits out of sight. Dwi heartily says, "Dey callit da Face." Stormyrain looks quite relaxed. Speaking to you, Evia asks, "Like the Landing, eh?" Perigourd nods to you. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me saw a goblin child me wanna go back and dopt." Tikba glances dubiously at you. Irval says, "Goblin children..." Kelfyr says, "It's shepherds, cooks, bakers." Kelfyr says, "Children." Speaking to you, Perigourd says, "Quite a large mix of things." Kelfyr nods at Irval. Ulfwine says, "They have gardens down there." Skoll quietly says, "Cyclops blacksmiths." Skoll shrugs. You wryly say, "I'm trying not to think about what they are doing. But..." Enisius asks, "Gardens?" Mourdeyan frowns. Kelfyr says, "It's a whole small town." Ulfwine says, "They are feeding an army." Kelfyr nods at Enisius. Ulfwine nods. Perigourd says, "Yes, they seem to be growing food." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It look like a tater farm." Enisius nods. Stormyrain looks lost in thought. Enisius says, "Then we have an added benefit." Skoll quietly says, "Seemed to be keepin' an eye on things." You say, "Someone is clearly amassing a following of all sorts." Skoll examines his fingernails. Irval says, "Cooks, butchers, might as well be a monster village." Irval says, "Set upon a fork." Speaking heartily to Skoll, Dwi says, "Heh..yeah...dont spect he's much good atta stuff dat aint flat." Enisius says, "Not only can we destroy their forge, but hit their food." Ulfwine nods at Irval. Lylia tersely says, "War. What they are doing is preparing for war." Tikba thoughtfully asks, "Was the cavern natural, or mined?" Skoll shrugs at Dwi. Speaking to Enisius, Kelfyr says, "I would like to request that you not send Sablo into those tunnels." Irval says, "With various arches leading to different parts of the cavern." Vaemyr sighs. The dull golden nimbus fades from around Guarrin. Ulfwine says, "Even a child." You nod at Lylia. Guarrin grumbles to himself. Speaking heartily to Skoll, Dwi says, "Spectiff." Dwi nods. Cryheart nods at Enisius. Tikba nods once at Lylia. Mourdeyan says, "There are children." Enisius says, "That is not in my authority to decide." Mourdeyan furrows her brow. Guarrin says, "Destroying the forge is one matter." Ulfwine says, "And orc shepherds, so I assume there are flocks somewhere down there." Enisius nods at Kelfyr. Perigourd nods in agreement at Guarrin. Missoni slowly empties her lungs. Speaking quietly to Mourdeyan, Skoll says, "To be fair, they were goblins..." Speaking to Enisius, Kelfyr says, "Your voice carries weight with your brother." Kelfyr stares at Enisius. You say, "They do seem to be attempting to hide, or disguise, the forges." Enisius asks, "Does it?" Enisius shrugs. Speaking to Enisius, Irval says, "Cyclopian Blacksmiths." Lylia says, "All the more reason to burrow straight to the heart of the forge and disable it. A precision strike." Tikba asks, "Were there other exits to the surface?" Speaking to Enisius, Kelfyr says, "I risked my life for your little venture. I ask this one thing." You say, "Of whcih there is seemingly more than one." Mourdeyan says, "They were goblin children, just being children. not attacking like...gryflets." Guarrin nods at Lylia. Speaking to Enisius, Kelfyr says, "Leave that monster above ground." Vaemyr nods at Lylia. Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "There are multiple forges." A young squire leads a horse through the area, stopping periodically to gently pat its neck and praise the steed before tugging on its reins and directing it elsewhere. Speaking in Dwarven, Dwi heartily says something you don't understand. Perigourd says, "Spread across the caverns." Gutstorm leans on Dwi, giving her a companionable grin. You say, "We saw at least three separate locations." Lylia nods at Perigourd. Enisius asks, "How many forges?" Enisius asks, "Only three?" Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd says, "We found three, but there may be more." Skoll quietly says, "Three that I saw..." Lylia says, "That is a pity. Rotten with forges, then." Guarrin asks, "Did they all have an elemental presence?" Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd says, "We didn't have time to search every hovel." You say, "I wouldn't say only. I would say we only SAW three." Speaking to Enisius, Goldstr says, "Less remember it be a town wid patents an chuldren, jess maybe smitten by Gnul. Less not kill when nae needed." Evia says, "Golly." A blinding flurry of snowflakes drifts down from the grey skies. Enisius asks, "How many tunnels?" Kelfyr nods at Guarrin. Skoll quietly says, "But lightning walls keepin' us from traversin' farther." Skoll shrugs. Irval says, "All shielded by a wall of lightning." Kelfyr says, "All blocked off." Speaking to Enisius, Perigourd says, "Six, I believe." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "If me hadda guesh,;sloot." Enisius asks, "So potentially three to six forges?" Ulfwine says, "We did not have time to inspect every possible location, but there are several spots that may hold forge entrances. They are located within rock hovels." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Each tunnel hadda forch." Vaemyr says, "We'll need a countermeasure for the blue lightning." Perigourd says, "A northern, northwestern, southwestern, south, southeastern, northeastern." Perigourd nods. Kelfyr nods at Perigourd. Tikba says, "Three forges, and six tunnels, means the capacity to build more, as well." Kelfyr says, "Six." Speaking quietly to Gutstorm, Skoll asks, "You're runnin' low on drinks?" Vaemyr asks, "Perhaps enough dispelling magic could disable them?" Tikba says, "That capacity must be destroyed." Skoll offers Gutstorm a half-filled bottle of stale beer. Mourdeyan says, "I thought so about the hovels." Gutstorm accepts Skoll's stale beer. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Danksh!" Gutstorm raises his stale beer in a toast! Mourdeyan nods at Wolfloner. Gutstorm takes a drink from his stale beer. Speaking quietly to Gutstorm, Skoll says, "It ain't good... but it's... well probably Earthdiver's excriment." Raelee put a gilt-inlaid faded leather book in her silk components pack. Kelfyr says, "The forges were within hovels near the ends of each arm of the tunnel." Kelfyr says, "Behind hidden fissures." Perigourd says, "Some of the hovels are simple homes, but we managed to find fissures amongst the three that led to forges." Skoll shrugs at Earthdiver. Irval says, "At the fork leading to the different arches we would of been able to travel north, northeast, southeast, south, southwest, northwest." The severe snowstorm blankets the entire area into white drifts. Enisius nods at Perigourd. Ulfwine nods. Yukito pulls the hood of his cloak over his head. Enisius says, "So they hide their forges behind homes." Enisius nods. Speaking heartily in Dwarven to Gutstorm, Dwi asks something you don't understand. You say, "The hovels almost seemed like they were specifically designed to hide them." Skoll nods at Enisius. Irval nods at Enisius. You nod. The wind howls and screams around you, tossing spirals of ice and snow in every direction. Yukito frowns. Evia pulls an elegant fur-trimmed cloak clasped with a gold filigree cloak-clasp snugly around her body, warding off the elements. Ulfwine rubs his chin thoughtfully. Pukk nods. Speaking in Dwarven, Dwi heartily says something you don't understand. Earthdiver says, "That might be beer. Not sure." Kayse pulls the hood of her onyx leather jacket over her head, gaining coverage from the snowfall. You say, "So, I suspect not each hovel housed a forge. But we can't be really sure." Mourdeyan says, "If the locations can be identified, casualties could be kept to a minimum." Ulfwine says, "They are lot more organized than you might expect creatures of that ilk to be." Speaking heartily in Dwarven to Gutstorm, Dwi says something you don't understand. Speaking to you, Perigourd says, "Some of them did not." Kelfyr says, "We saw at most one forge per tunnel." Stormyrain looks quite relaxed. Gusts of heavy snowfall blow across the area. Perigourd nods in agreement at Kelfyr. Irval says, "We need to assume that each area probably had its own forge." Enisius nods at Irval. Irval says, "Better to err on the side of caution." Speaking to Irval, Perigourd says, "I'd say that's a strong possibility." Enisius says, "...and we will need to ponder on the walls of lightning." You lean against a large black leather tent. You sigh. Ulfwine says, "It needs to be cleanses, that whole rotten mess down there." Lady Kayani just went south. Tikba says, "If they are organized, then it is not sufficient to strike the forges. We must ensure they cannot rebuild." Irval says, "Indeed." Skoll quietly asks, "Why're we worried about casualties..? They are goblins...?" Skoll looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs. Mourdeyan says, "Pondering is good." Enisius asks, "What could neutralize the walls, Magister Raelee?" Guarrin nods at Yukito. Kelfyr shakes his head. Enisius peers quizzically at Raelee. Evia says, "It is heartening to see what can be accomplished when people work together." You say, "The lightning made me glad I wasn't wearing armor, to be sure." You grab an imflass metal breastplate from one of the large pouches lining the inside of your black woolen longcoat. Enisius says, "I have theories." Ulfwine nods at Evia. You don your imflass metal breastplate, deftly adjusting the fastenings for a sure fit. Roundtime: 17 sec. Skoll nods to you. Two young children chase each other in a nearby field, throwing canvas-wrapped balls as they run, trying to strike each other before disappearing further into the campsite. Raelee says, "There are options." Irval asks, "Maybe a lot of sand? Seeing as you have a penchant for it?" Mourdeyan sighs. Irval says, "Turn it to glass." Irval says, "Then shatter it." Irval shrugs. Speaking to you, Ulfwine says, ""hmm, I had not thought of that." Ulfwine taps a silver-tooled matte black breastplate that he is wearing. Ulfwine sighs. Irval asks, "Sand it out?" Perigourd says, "The tunnels are also fairly cramped." Enisius says, "They are not the same." Enisius nods at Kelfyr. You grab a hooded black silver-buttoned surcoat from one of the large pouches lining the inside of your black woolen longcoat. Speaking to Enisius, Raelee says, "Something non-conductive may be able to go through it." Irval shrugs. Bellaja suggests, "A few people in plate." Perigourd says, "So be prepared to have to shove through parts of them." You carefully work your way into a hooded black silver-buttoned surcoat, layering it to conceal your imflass metal breastplate. You grab a black imflass helm with silver and green plumage interspersed with thin spikes from one of the small pouches lining the inside of your black woolen longcoat. You adroitly don your imflass helm as you prepare for battle, adjusting it for a sure fit. Perigourd says, "Which may take a few seconds." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "'kin ye catcher lightnin inna bottle wit one dem diviner rod?" Stormyrain looks thoughtfully at Enisius. Speaking to Enisius, Raelee says, "Or... something conductive may be able to... reshape it... if you will." Guarrin notes, "It may be best to draw some of their forces outside of the mountain." Irval's tonal onyx longcloak shifts and rustles a bit, the sounds of high-pitched squeaks emanating from it. Lylia says, "Much to ponder." Enisius nods. Lylia says, "Goodnight, all." Speaking to Enisius, Vaemyr says, "You could perhaps disrupt it with something like veil iron." Missoni waves to Lylia. Missoni smiles. Ulfwine waves to Lylia. Xylador nods slowly at Lylia. Tikba waves to Lylia. Speaking heartily in Dwarven to Gutstorm, Dwi says something you don't understand. Bernadette bows to Lylia. Goldstr bows to Lylia. Earthdiver waves to Lylia. Enisius says, "I have seen Hall experiments where water or ice countered lightning wards." Ulfwine nods at Vaemyr. Guarrin nods in agreement at Perigourd. A matted field rat yawns widely, revealing long yellowed incisors and a pale curving tongue. It completes its yawn with a long luxurious stretch, scanning the area with a languid disdain. Gutstorm leans on Dwi, giving her a companionable grin. Mourdeyan says, "Or Kroderine." Enisius says, "Something to consider." Lylia gives Xorus a lingering kiss on the wrist. Irval nods at Enisius. Skoll quietly says, "If'n ya flood the tunnels, the lightnin' walls would be a moot point..." Imperatrix Lylia just went south. Irval loses his focused look. Speaking to Ulfwine, you say, "I didn't like being without it but I sure didn't want to go clicking around down there like least Feastday's silverware." The surroundings are engulfed in gusts of white snow. Speaking to Enisius, Raelee says, "Ice likely carries less risk." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We can chuck Cryheart inta one?" Skoll quietly says, "Due to surface area, an' all." Ulfwine says, "Send Cryheart into it." Mourdeyan furrows her brow. Ulfwine nods to you. Evia rubs Cryheart gently. Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "Did good lissenin to Misser Xorus.... tho ye pick'd yer nose more like yerself." Stormyrain folds her arms over her chest. You say, "Sir Cryheart would likely clink around like last Feastday's silverward. And get away with it." Speaking drunkenly to Cryheart, Gutstorm slurs, "It ferda greater goot." With a subtle tilt of her head, Tikba's calloused finger taps lightly on her bottom lip as she becomes lost in thought. Irval asks, "Water to drown the lightning?" Speaking to Enisius, Raelee says, "Water can neutralize, or water can conduct and we kill whoever is making the attempt. Ice can conduct, but not nearly so well." Cryheart applauds Gutstorm. Xorus says, "The Badger would pass right through it, lightning flows on the surface of metal and arcs to ground." Enisius nods at Raelee. Skoll quietly says, "Water grounds the lightnin'... any baby mage growin' up in the bogs in the graveyard knows that." Mourdeyan sighs. Speaking to Gutstorm, Ulfwine asks, ""You have a water cannon, right?" The severe snowstorm blankets the entire area into white drifts. Evia says, "Hmm." Speaking to Irval, you ask, "Have you ever visited Melghoren's Lake during a summer storm?" Gutstorm removes a silver-accented white monir water cannon from in his ankle sheath. Speaking heartily to Xorus, Dwi says, "But...." Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Shore doo." Skoll quietly says, "Ya throw some water in the mix and whoever's got the lightnin' is gonna be sorry." Skoll looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs. (Gutstorm cocks his cannon.) Speaking to Enisius, Raelee continues, "... lightning is a function of air and water. If one applies water, in a frozen form, one can disrupt the balance with air... thus destabilizing your wall." Speaking heartily to Xorus, Dwi says, "Dis is lightenin dat's aready held by da ground." You say, "You do NOT want to throw water at lightning, you can trust me on that one." You shudder. Speaking to you, Irval asks, "Ive not yet. Worth seeing?" Missoni carefully says, "Earth should not conduct the lightning." Skoll quietly says, "But if we throw water in from a safe distance and let the tunnels do the carryin', we don't have to be sorry." A delicate silver filigree pattern swirls briefly within a purple-shadowed nearly black thunderhead opal set against Bellaja's forehead. Yukito tilts his head toward Missoni, examining her intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly. Skoll looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs. Ulfwine rubs his chin thoughtfully. Speaking to Irval, you say, "Wear your favorite robe. But not your favorite breastplate." Xylador says, "Perhaps a grounding rod, to disrupt the direction rather than dispersing would be more simplistic.." The silvery luminescence fades from around Earthdiver. The sweet, smoky aroma of cooked velnalin wafts through the campsite. The glowing specks of energy surrounding Earthdiver suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away. A blinding flurry of snowflakes drifts down from the grey skies. Stormyrain looks thoughtfully at Kelfyr. Mourdeyan says, "Praps a focal." Speaking heartily to Xylador, Dwi asks, "Bolunteerin?" Enisius says, "Fascinating." Speaking to Skoll, Ulfwine asks, "'A controlled flooding of the tunnels?" Skoll quietly says, "I say we reroute a water source into their tunnels and see what happens." Skoll shrugs. Irval says, "I wonder how those cyclops got in? Im assuming they have to pass through it to forge weapons." Earthdiver cocks his head at Enisius. Enisius says, "There's much to be done." Mourdeyan ducks her head. Enisius turns around. Irval asks, "Or use it in their forging process maybe?" Speaking quietly to Ulfwine, Skoll says, "That's my guess... i've blown more than just my nerves by castin' lightnin' spells in watery areas." Mourdeyan turns to face Enisius. Vaemyr sighs. Deep blue motes swirl away from Yukito and fade. Xylador says, "I was thinking a non-conductive shell, with a conductive rod attached in some manner. Preferably on wheels." Ulfwine nods at Skoll. Enisius walks off away from the area but then stops suddenly, looks down at something in his hand, or on his hand, then slowly walks back to the crowd. Mourdeyan says, "Ver much." Skoll quietly says, "They'll rue the day they chose lightnin' to guard whatever they're guardin'." Evia slowly empties her lungs. Earthdiver folds his hands behind his back. Enisius says, "....you did good. thank you." Earthdiver nods at Enisius. Kayse stares upward. Mourdeyan nods slowly at Enisius. Missoni nods slightly at Enisius. Bernadette nods. Guarrin clears his throat. The surroundings are engulfed in gusts of white snow. Seaward Gutstorm begins to walk south but suddenly trips and goes flailing out of sight! Speaking to Enisius, Kelfyr says, "Ask him. Please." Yukito nods politely at Enisius. Speaking to Enisius, Kiyna says, "That wasn't bad. Almost felt like you meant it that time." Guarrin nods once. Tikba nods politely at Enisius. Speaking to Enisius, Missoni says, "Fair eve." Seaward Gutstorm just stumbled in, flailing his arms wildly while trying to right himself! You say, "I'm glad I could serve in some capacity." Speaking to Enisius, Ulfwine says, ""Thank you and you are welcome, happy to help." Speaking to Enisius, Irval asks, "Hand notes again?" Stormyrain looks quite relaxed. Cryheart waves to Enisius. Raelee glances expectantly at Enisius. Irval mutters under his breath. Speaking in Dwarven, Dwi heartily says something you don't understand. Earthdiver says, "The many kobolds around the gate over the years...have made for an easy role." Enisius nods at Tikba. Mourdeyan bows respectfully before Enisius, her eyes fixed firmly on the ground. Ulfwine bows to Enisius. Evia says, "And for his next performance.." Tikba smiles at Enisius. Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me wanted to shtay longer and shee wot happen when pin no werked." Ulfwine nods. Guarrin says, "Fine work all. One step closer." Cryheart says, "Amen." Missoni nods approvingly. Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk exclaims, "See, even he noticed that you made a good kobold. Well done!" Perigourd nods at Missoni. Raelee nods slowly at Enisius. The severe snowstorm blankets the entire area into white drifts. Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll asks, "Can ya let us in on what's next?" Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wot to do wot to do." Sir Guarrin just went south. Earthdiver says, "I'm just glad I had enough fishing worms for everyone to eat." Enisius nods at Skoll. Perigourd nods at Missoni. Earthdiver nods with satisfaction. Dwi sings horribly off-key: "Yappie anna Gutstorm sittin inna tree...." Goldstr exclaims, "Aye Was job well done!" Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll asks, "Are we to flood the tunnels or just prepare for the next wave of assaults?" Dwi cackles! Bellaja stares at Earthdiver. Bellaja's face turns slightly pale. Mourdeyan turns an inquisitive ear toward Enisius. Ulfwine says, "It was an interesting mission." Also here: Seaward Gutstorm, Magister Enisius, Town Councilor Kayse, Archious, Sunwu, Dwi, Magister Raelee, Ulfwine, Irval, Bellaja, Perigourd, Skoll, Town Councilor Vaemyr, Town Councilor Kiyna, Wolfloner, Kelfyr, Pukk, Earthdiver, Sir Cryheart, Hospitaller Yukito, Astrilyn, Dame Evia, Stormyrain, Mourdeyan, Sarissa Xylador, Bernadette, Goldstr, Missoni, Tikba, Lord Xorus Obvious paths: northeast, south, northwest Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll says, "The way I'm seein' it, it's their children or ours." Enisius says, "Eve of the Huntress, my charted map will be ready for Amos, and we will strike at the Forge." Ulfwine says, "Not without some tense moments." Irval says, "I think the best stsaging point would be that nexus area of the fork personally." Speaking to Enisius, Vaemyr says, "It's good that we have more information now for sure..." Bellaja clasps her hand over her mouth. Speaking darkly to Enisius, Wolfloner asks, "Sablo will lead an assault into the forge?" Speaking to Enisius, Tikba says, "I look forward to it." Enisius shrugs at Wolfloner. Ulfwine nods at Enisius. Tikba nods firmly at Enisius. Missoni nods slightly. Irval nods at Enisius. Enisius says, "I do not know, those are questions for my brother." Enisius says, "I am sure he will be around tomorrow, on the eve of the battle." Heavy gusts of wind cause the area to be blinded in white snow. Earthdiver swiftly wrenches his steel pauldrons to the side, craning his neck until the bones yield a diverse progression of piercing snaps. A young girl races by, maneuvering through those gathered as she chases a small chicken that keeps flapping its wings wildly. Perigourd nods at Enisius. Vaemyr nods at Enisius. You leave Perigourd's group. Dwi heartily says, "Shore...break usefull works." Speaking quietly to Enisius, Skoll says, "Hopefully we can get a leg up on the battle before the eve..." Dwi sighs. Dwi mutters something about oldsters. Skoll quietly says, "Enis Battles are won before they're started more often than not." Kayse furrows her brow. Tikba nods in agreement at Skoll. Enisius says, "You will take the Badger into the tunnels, and do what you people do." Enisius nods at Skoll. Irval says, "Well this is the counter offensive we proposed. To take the fight to them. To be pro active." Earthdiver heavily pounds one of his fists into the other, producing a loud clap. Goldstr nods at Enisius. Earthdiver nods at Enisius. Tikba amusedly says, "That is what we do." Speaking heartily in Dwarven to Gutstorm, Dwi asks something you don't understand. Dwi nods at Gutstorm. Kayse folds her wings across her back. Evia says, "Wreck stuff." Kelfyr sighs. Skoll quietly says, "Aye... the fight should be in their town square... not oures." Enisius asks, "Goodnight?" Kelfyr shakes his head. Enisius nods. You hear very soft footsteps. A blinding curtain of heavy snow flutters down from the sky, blanketing the surroundings in a layer of white. Tikba says, "Sleep well, Magister." Magister Enisius just went south.
