Hail Smon, and well met!
Smon Has entered the room
Smon: hi gooner - I'm having dinner & will be starting late
Goonergeezer: np mate i am just finishijng up dinner and tidying away
Kjato Ragfoot Has entered the room
Kjato Ragfoot: Hello everyone!
corum Has entered the room
corum: hey all
corum: wagwan?
Goonergeezer: ello
Goonergeezer: just cleaning up a bit smon says its gonna be a little biut late coz he is having dinner too
Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Gooner and Corum
corum: Cool i'm going to be in lurk mode
corum: o/h making me choose
corum: I'll watch the film and then post on my mobile!
Goonergeezer: ooo what film?
Smon: hi all - back now
corum: something called "in time"
Smon: Bloody cold still has me after 2 weeks, so I'll be a bit slow again tonight
Goonergeezer: name rings a bell
Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Smon
corum: just saying to G, im going to be in lurk mode tonight, relegated to the phone, O/H not happy with me
Kjato Ragfoot: Remember that you only have to outrun a gnome.
corum: hope thats ok simon?
Smon: What is O/H?
corum: other half
Smon: ok
corum: Da missus!
Smon: An archaic term of matrimony, I comprehend.
jamesmward Has entered the room
Goonergeezer: could of said her indoors lol
jamesmward: Hello what are we talking about today?
Smon: I tend to say 'my wife', which apparentlt the government is about to ban as sexist & patriarchal. Apple's spellchecker already replaces it with gender-neutral terminology.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh? What is the correct replacement for your wife?
Kjato Ragfoot: Your mistress?
Kjato Ragfoot: Or your courtesan?
jamesmward Has exited the room
corum:
corum: we're not married
Smon: AIR spouse & partner are currently acceptable, but I expect spouse will eventually be banned as marito-normative
Smon: I like "my mistress" though, sounds cool
Smon: GM: At the end of last session, Garrick & Flynn killed Charlie the simpleton ogre.
Goonergeezer: garrick will search the corpse and when finished take the ogres left ear
Smon: Did I not award XP? I had this terrible cold already, might have forgotten.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will take the bell.
Goonergeezer: no we didnt get any xp
corum: Flynn will search the cave
Smon: Was it just Garrick & Flynn?
Goonergeezer: and the men ata arms i think
Kjato Ragfoot: I do not remember getting XP or anything else.
Smon: Was Duvader there?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yup. I shot the bell with my sling.
Goonergeezer: ill check 2 secs
Smon: Remind me of anything you did re exploration etc
Goonergeezer: yep duv was there too
Smon: OK, with ogre XP and some for exploration I make it 292 XP each to Duvader Garrick & Flynn
Smon: Being a bit kind to Duvader, but I didn't deduct any from Garrick & Flynn
Goonergeezer: we went as far as the cave with something unknown but very tough sounding was then came back to a kobold cave then it was charlies i think
Smon: yup
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader met with the others at a house with a wounded knight. We went into the ravine where we found an eaten rider group, tried to find out what happened them and finally considered it to dangerous for us to delve further. We then went the other way, passed by a kobold lair and shot this poor ogre.
Smon: let me add the XP on to the roster
Goonergeezer: ju8st over 5k needed :-(
Kjato Ragfoot: I need about 3k for next level.
corum: 1500 I think for flynn
Smon: ok added XP athttp://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/pc-roster.html - blogger playing up (no edit button!) or would have been quicker.
Smon: GM: Duvader recovers the brass bell. Garrick searches the ogre's mangy hides...
Smon: He has nothing of value on him, you notice a huge scar on his left arm which looks like a giant beak wound, Flynn identifies it as an Owlbear bite, they're found in the Wychwood.
Smon: There's also the huge dent in his head, as from a large boulder, perhaps.
corum: Flynn @ Duv "next hole?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Flynn We wanted to return the wounded soldier to our priest, if I remember correctly.
Smon: You killed the ogre just before an intersection in the tunnel, one way goes right/south into a small cave, the other left/north-east into darkness.
Smon: The men-at-arms are tending to their wounded comrade, Duvader joins Garrick & Flynn.
Goonergeezer: garrick: we should go back, at least now we know where to come to when we come back"
Smon: Duvader can see that the south fork runs about 20' and opens into a cave some 12' wide, with a foul latrine stench. The NE tunnel runs 30' and opens into a good-sized cave.
Goonergeezer: garrick: unless someone wants to scout ahead down the tunnel and report bacvk!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, it will take a while to prepare the soldier for transport. I can take a look that long.
corum: Flynn will go with Duv
Goonergeezer: garrick: be careful
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Of course. Here, hold the bell for the time being.
Kjato Ragfoot: Then, he sneaks off into the darkness.
Kjato Ragfoot: First, let's check the foul smelling latrine.
Smon: GM: Flynn, you can't see in the dark, so you'd need to light a torch or lantern to go with Duvader.
corum: Flynn lights a torch (has onein backpack)
corum: (last one)
Smon: Duvader checks that the south cave is just a latrine, then sneaks north-east with Thiefly grace, an effect ruined as the torch flares into life behind him >
Kjato Ragfoot: OK, Duvader will simply go normally then and hope that Flynn attracts all attention, beging bigger and more illuminated.
corum: @ duv, you want me to hang back?
Smon: After 30' you come out into a 30' cave with a bell-domed ceiling 18' above. This is clearly the living quarters for the ogre, piles of rotten undressed furs at the south wall, an open 60 gallon water barrel at the west wall.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Flynn Yes, that would be helpful. The light will draw unwanted attention.
corum: Flynn will wait at the latrine
Smon: There is a crude wooden tabled piled with cracked pottery, a battered old chest of drawers with clothes and food spilling out.
corum: Searching the area for tracks
Smon: In the centre is a fire pit with charcoaled wood, an iron cauldron with foul stew suspended above; an iron kettle to the side of the pit.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will take a closer look at the table, the chest and the drawers.
Smon: Duvader finds the chest of drawers crammed with dirty clothes and bits of food - cooked meat, tubers etc. There is a small wood box full of common tea-herbs.
Smon: Flynn finds ogre tracks at the latrine.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
4,
Smon: The table is just a table, ogre-sized and very crude, with 8 pottery mugs of human make; an herb symbol on them matches one on the tea box - a tea set! Looks like Charlie liked to have guests for tea.
Kjato Ragfoot: Grr. We should have asked for tea instead of shooting him.
Kjato Ragfoot: I pocket the tea mugs and the herbs. They will be useful for camp.
Smon: There is no wealth here at all, which seems surprising - ogres like to hoard wealth, and Pot-Belly had a cache.
Smon: The mugs are cracked but serviceable.
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. He had a fire, so probably a fire hook or a big spoon or something like that. I will use that to turn the furs.
Smon: There's a ladle in the stew pot. Turning the furs causes cave-lice to skitter away, but no gold.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
6,
Smon: Duvader does notice little scratches on the dirty floor, like tiny tracks, smaller than his own feet even.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will return and get Flynn inside, showing him the tracks.
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn, do you think those might be tracks?
Smon: GM: In the torchlight, Flynn can clearly see dozens of small bipedal tracks all over the cave floor.
corum: Flynn examines the tracks
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
56,
corum: @ duv "mice?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duv @ Flynn Bipedal mice?
Smon: Looks like a gait of a 3' tall biped with clawed toes
Kjato Ragfoot: Unlikely.
Smon: They cluster thickly around the furs, and the chest of drawers. They seem to be coming & going from a point on the north wall.
corum: @ duv "mice are crafty things"
Kjato Ragfoot: @ Well, then let's check this wand...
Kjato Ragfoot: Wall.
corum: Flynn points north "duv, doyou smell anything?"
Smon: Smells ogrey, rotten...
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
5,
Kjato Ragfoot: Besides the latrine? No.
Smon: that's all
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will check the north wall, following the tracks.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:5,
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
3,
corum: Flynn follows the tracks
Smon: GM: Duvader finds a crevice in the rough cave wall; Flynn locates a small secret door, about 3' high, made of wattle and mud the colour of the cave wall.
Smon: in the back of the crevice
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Interesting, look what we got here.
Mablir Dorlig Has entered the room
Mablir Dorlig: Hi all
Smon: Hi Mablir
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn, your eyes might need torches, but they are sharp indeed.
corum: flynn will open the dorr and examine the space beyond
Smon: Anyone like to tell Mablir what's going on?
corum: @ DM is it big enough forflynn to fit in?
Kjato Ragfoot: Mablir We left the wounded knight to search the ravine, killed an ogre and are now searching his cave.
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn just found a secret door.
Smon: The little door swings open easily, Flynn has to crouch down to look through into the squared-off chamber beyond.
Smon: The door opens into the SE corner of a chamber - the first thing Flynn sees is a round-bellied female kobold lounging on raccoon & sheep skins against the ess
Smon: east wall. She looks up, blinking in the torchlight.
Smon: The chamber is 20' n-s, 40' e-w, with adoor in the north wall.
Smon: In the nw corner an emaciated goblin is held in a large iron jail cell.
corum: @ Duvader "We have company, thought I smelled kobold!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Its clobbering time!
Smon: And to Flynn's left, against the south wall, is a 2-step dais surmounted by a stone throne, upon which sits a snarling, heavily whiskered kobold wearing a too-large iron crown, flanked by 2 kobold warriors in chain!
corum: @Dm they see me?
Smon: The kobolds can see Flynn, and his torch. The Kobold King gets to his feet, yelling in kobold and waving a witchfire shortsword.
Smon: The two guards heft spears and advance on Flynn.
Smon: actions?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will charge after Flynn, trying to clobber any kobold in reach with his club.
corum: @ duv "we need garrick er!"
Smon: ok roll init
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
1,
Kjato Ragfoot rolls 1d6 and gets:
2,
corum rolls 1d6 and gets:6,
Smon: Flynn, you can either back out, or move in & get to your feet?
Mablir Dorlig: (Simon - hope Corak not to far awy?)
corum: Flynn will move in
Smon: Corak was back at the ogre hut, you want him to turn up?
Mablir Dorlig: (at a convenient point for DM)
Smon: If so, Corak arrives at the ravine just west of the castle bluff, meets with 3 of Percy's men tending a fallen comrade. "Heal him, father!"
corum: Flynn shouts very loud
corum: '
corum: garrick'
Smon: Corak hears Flynn yelling from a nearby cave, he sounds far away.
Smon: Garrick is presumably outside now & hears it too.
Goonergeezer: garrick calls to the men at arms " get ready we have trouble"
Smon: The advancing kobolds level their spears at Flynn, longer reach so 2 attacks
Smon: /roll 1d20x2
corum: Flynn will run his scimitar through the nearest kobold
Smon Rolls 1d20x2 and gets:

Goonergeezer: #
Smon: Garrick & Corak hear the yelling from the dark cave and run in, it forks ahead past the ogre corpse, they go left toward the yell & come out into the living quarters, faint torchlight from beyond a crevice in the north wall.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader and the king are exchanging blows, but only a bonfire of magic sparkles emerge, nobody is hit.
Smon: Next round, Flynn's go again (after this Corak & Garrick get an init roll)
Goonergeezer: garrick has his sword drawn so there is light for ALL TO SEE

Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader (speaks kobold): Kill yourself before I rip you in pieces!
Smon: The King whirls his blade in a wide arc to fend off the horde of humans and gnome who have invaded his realm. "Never, Gnome!" he snarls back. To the humans it sounds like dog barks.
corum: Flynn will go over to the pregnant kobold and placing a blade to her throat atttempt to bribe the king with a hostage!
Smon: Next round - you hear more yipping from through the open doorway as the warren is alerted.

Smon: Duvader grabs the king's crown and magic shortsword
Kjato Ragfoot: The kobolds had plenty spears. We should be able to use the spears of the slain kobolds to bar the door.
Goonergeezer: garrick "pass me some spears and corpses to pile in fromt of the door
corum: "run, run!"
Smon: GM: You bar the door with a spear, something heavy slams against it and you hear a deep growl.
Kjato Ragfoot: And now, run.
Smon: You have time to get out now
Goonergeezer: we get out double time
Smon: OK, you scramble back through the secret door, through the ogre caves and into the bright light of day - alive!
Smon: And with a +1 shortsword for Duvader
Kjato Ragfoot: Yeah!
corum: "we rest up, and then get back there and finish them off"
Smon: The iron crown was too big for the kobold's horned head, but fits Duvader nicely.
Smon: You could maybe have Duvader keep the +1 sword and he gives Corak his +1 club?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yes, good idea.
Smon: When you get out, you see the guardsmen waiting atop the ravine, looking nervous.
Smon: One of them yells down: "Come on!"
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Corak: Club +1, 1d6+1/1d3+1))
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Let's get out of here, before the kobolds decide to pursue us.
Goonergeezer: we quickly make our way towards them
Smon: You scramble up the steep and gravelly side of the ravine.
Mablir Dorlig: (nice when I get another Weapon at next level)
corum: Flynn limps towards them
Smon: "We need to get Rufus back! What was in there - more ogres?"
Kjato Ragfoot: (Already nice, because you have a magic weapon you can use in case you need one)
Smon: (yeah, gargoyles suck w no magic weapon!)
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader "No, just a couple kobolds"
Goonergeezer: garrick there was at leasy 20 of them and some horrible hell beast"
Smon: They look at the four renowned heroes of Sir Hawkes, victors of countless battles against bandits, orcs, and giant apes. "Oh.. ok then."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader So, nothing to truly worry about.
Smon: Are you planning to collect Sir Percy and his men and retreat? To Hawfair, back to Yggsburgh?
corum: ((to hawfair?))
Kjato Ragfoot: What is Hawfair?
Smon: Hawfair Green
Goonergeezer: (hawfauir sounds good or even the farmer whose daughters we saved
Smon: Rem you have Percy & his 6 men to billet too, though.
Smon: You can discuss it w Percy if you like - I'll stop there for tonight.
corum: Hawfair then.
Mablir Dorlig: brb
Smon: I really hope my cold is better next week!
corum: ok I should go! night all!
Goonergeezer: (the farmer has a barn we could all stay in)
Smon: yup
Kjato Ragfoot: Good I took the tea, it will help to prevent our PCs catching a cold.
Smon: He could put you up in barn & house
corum:
Smon: tea, mmm...
Goonergeezer: and its closer than hawfair
Smon: yep
corum: RP it in blog?
Smon: ok

corum: o/h making me choose
corum: I'll watch the film and then post on my mobile!
Goonergeezer: ooo what film?
Smon: hi all - back now
corum: something called "in time"
Smon: Bloody cold still has me after 2 weeks, so I'll be a bit slow again tonight
Goonergeezer: name rings a bell
Kjato Ragfoot: Hi Smon
corum: just saying to G, im going to be in lurk mode tonight, relegated to the phone, O/H not happy with me
Kjato Ragfoot: Remember that you only have to outrun a gnome.
corum: hope thats ok simon?
Smon: What is O/H?
corum: other half
Smon: ok
corum: Da missus!
Smon: An archaic term of matrimony, I comprehend.
jamesmward Has entered the room
Goonergeezer: could of said her indoors lol
jamesmward: Hello what are we talking about today?
Smon: I tend to say 'my wife', which apparentlt the government is about to ban as sexist & patriarchal. Apple's spellchecker already replaces it with gender-neutral terminology.
Kjato Ragfoot: Oh? What is the correct replacement for your wife?
Kjato Ragfoot: Your mistress?
Kjato Ragfoot: Or your courtesan?
jamesmward Has exited the room
corum:
corum: we're not married
Smon: AIR spouse & partner are currently acceptable, but I expect spouse will eventually be banned as marito-normative
Smon: I like "my mistress" though, sounds cool
Smon: GM: At the end of last session, Garrick & Flynn killed Charlie the simpleton ogre.
Goonergeezer: garrick will search the corpse and when finished take the ogres left ear
Smon: Did I not award XP? I had this terrible cold already, might have forgotten.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will take the bell.
Goonergeezer: no we didnt get any xp
corum: Flynn will search the cave
Smon: Was it just Garrick & Flynn?
Goonergeezer: and the men ata arms i think
Kjato Ragfoot: I do not remember getting XP or anything else.
Smon: Was Duvader there?
Kjato Ragfoot: Yup. I shot the bell with my sling.
Goonergeezer: ill check 2 secs
Smon: Remind me of anything you did re exploration etc
Goonergeezer: yep duv was there too
Smon: OK, with ogre XP and some for exploration I make it 292 XP each to Duvader Garrick & Flynn
Smon: Being a bit kind to Duvader, but I didn't deduct any from Garrick & Flynn
Goonergeezer: we went as far as the cave with something unknown but very tough sounding was then came back to a kobold cave then it was charlies i think
Smon: yup
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader met with the others at a house with a wounded knight. We went into the ravine where we found an eaten rider group, tried to find out what happened them and finally considered it to dangerous for us to delve further. We then went the other way, passed by a kobold lair and shot this poor ogre.
Smon: let me add the XP on to the roster
Goonergeezer: ju8st over 5k needed :-(
Kjato Ragfoot: I need about 3k for next level.
corum: 1500 I think for flynn
Smon: ok added XP athttp://smonsyggsburgh.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/pc-roster.html - blogger playing up (no edit button!) or would have been quicker.
Smon: GM: Duvader recovers the brass bell. Garrick searches the ogre's mangy hides...
Smon: He has nothing of value on him, you notice a huge scar on his left arm which looks like a giant beak wound, Flynn identifies it as an Owlbear bite, they're found in the Wychwood.
Smon: There's also the huge dent in his head, as from a large boulder, perhaps.
corum: Flynn @ Duv "next hole?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Flynn We wanted to return the wounded soldier to our priest, if I remember correctly.
Smon: You killed the ogre just before an intersection in the tunnel, one way goes right/south into a small cave, the other left/north-east into darkness.
Smon: The men-at-arms are tending to their wounded comrade, Duvader joins Garrick & Flynn.
Goonergeezer: garrick: we should go back, at least now we know where to come to when we come back"
Smon: Duvader can see that the south fork runs about 20' and opens into a cave some 12' wide, with a foul latrine stench. The NE tunnel runs 30' and opens into a good-sized cave.
Goonergeezer: garrick: unless someone wants to scout ahead down the tunnel and report bacvk!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Well, it will take a while to prepare the soldier for transport. I can take a look that long.
corum: Flynn will go with Duv
Goonergeezer: garrick: be careful
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Of course. Here, hold the bell for the time being.
Kjato Ragfoot: Then, he sneaks off into the darkness.
Kjato Ragfoot: First, let's check the foul smelling latrine.
Smon: GM: Flynn, you can't see in the dark, so you'd need to light a torch or lantern to go with Duvader.
corum: Flynn lights a torch (has onein backpack)
corum: (last one)
Smon: Duvader checks that the south cave is just a latrine, then sneaks north-east with Thiefly grace, an effect ruined as the torch flares into life behind him >
Kjato Ragfoot: OK, Duvader will simply go normally then and hope that Flynn attracts all attention, beging bigger and more illuminated.
corum: @ duv, you want me to hang back?
Smon: After 30' you come out into a 30' cave with a bell-domed ceiling 18' above. This is clearly the living quarters for the ogre, piles of rotten undressed furs at the south wall, an open 60 gallon water barrel at the west wall.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader @ Flynn Yes, that would be helpful. The light will draw unwanted attention.
corum: Flynn will wait at the latrine
Smon: There is a crude wooden tabled piled with cracked pottery, a battered old chest of drawers with clothes and food spilling out.
corum: Searching the area for tracks
Smon: In the centre is a fire pit with charcoaled wood, an iron cauldron with foul stew suspended above; an iron kettle to the side of the pit.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will take a closer look at the table, the chest and the drawers.
Smon: Duvader finds the chest of drawers crammed with dirty clothes and bits of food - cooked meat, tubers etc. There is a small wood box full of common tea-herbs.
Smon: Flynn finds ogre tracks at the latrine.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
4,Smon: The table is just a table, ogre-sized and very crude, with 8 pottery mugs of human make; an herb symbol on them matches one on the tea box - a tea set! Looks like Charlie liked to have guests for tea.
Kjato Ragfoot: Grr. We should have asked for tea instead of shooting him.
Kjato Ragfoot: I pocket the tea mugs and the herbs. They will be useful for camp.
Smon: There is no wealth here at all, which seems surprising - ogres like to hoard wealth, and Pot-Belly had a cache.
Smon: The mugs are cracked but serviceable.
Kjato Ragfoot: Hmm. He had a fire, so probably a fire hook or a big spoon or something like that. I will use that to turn the furs.
Smon: There's a ladle in the stew pot. Turning the furs causes cave-lice to skitter away, but no gold.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets:
6,Smon: Duvader does notice little scratches on the dirty floor, like tiny tracks, smaller than his own feet even.
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will return and get Flynn inside, showing him the tracks.
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn, do you think those might be tracks?
Smon: GM: In the torchlight, Flynn can clearly see dozens of small bipedal tracks all over the cave floor.
corum: Flynn examines the tracks
Smon: /roll 1d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets:
56,corum: @ duv "mice?"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duv @ Flynn Bipedal mice?
Smon: Looks like a gait of a 3' tall biped with clawed toes
Kjato Ragfoot: Unlikely.
Smon: They cluster thickly around the furs, and the chest of drawers. They seem to be coming & going from a point on the north wall.
corum: @ duv "mice are crafty things"
Kjato Ragfoot: @ Well, then let's check this wand...
Kjato Ragfoot: Wall.
corum: Flynn points north "duv, doyou smell anything?"
Smon: Smells ogrey, rotten...

Smon: GM: Duvader finds a crevice in the rough cave wall; Flynn locates a small secret door, about 3' high, made of wattle and mud the colour of the cave wall.
Smon: in the back of the crevice
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Interesting, look what we got here.
Mablir Dorlig Has entered the room
Mablir Dorlig: Hi all
Smon: Hi Mablir
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn, your eyes might need torches, but they are sharp indeed.
corum: flynn will open the dorr and examine the space beyond
Smon: Anyone like to tell Mablir what's going on?
corum: @ DM is it big enough forflynn to fit in?
Kjato Ragfoot: Mablir We left the wounded knight to search the ravine, killed an ogre and are now searching his cave.
Kjato Ragfoot: Flynn just found a secret door.
Smon: The little door swings open easily, Flynn has to crouch down to look through into the squared-off chamber beyond.
Smon: The door opens into the SE corner of a chamber - the first thing Flynn sees is a round-bellied female kobold lounging on raccoon & sheep skins against the ess
Smon: east wall. She looks up, blinking in the torchlight.
Smon: The chamber is 20' n-s, 40' e-w, with adoor in the north wall.
Smon: In the nw corner an emaciated goblin is held in a large iron jail cell.
corum: @ Duvader "We have company, thought I smelled kobold!"
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader Its clobbering time!
Smon: And to Flynn's left, against the south wall, is a 2-step dais surmounted by a stone throne, upon which sits a snarling, heavily whiskered kobold wearing a too-large iron crown, flanked by 2 kobold warriors in chain!
corum: @Dm they see me?
Smon: The kobolds can see Flynn, and his torch. The Kobold King gets to his feet, yelling in kobold and waving a witchfire shortsword.
Smon: The two guards heft spears and advance on Flynn.
Smon: actions?
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader will charge after Flynn, trying to clobber any kobold in reach with his club.

Mablir Dorlig: (at a convenient point for DM)
Smon: If so, Corak arrives at the ravine just west of the castle bluff, meets with 3 of Percy's men tending a fallen comrade. "Heal him, father!"
corum: Flynn shouts very loud

Kjato Ragfoot: Yes, good idea.
Smon: When you get out, you see the guardsmen waiting atop the ravine, looking nervous.
Smon: One of them yells down: "Come on!"
Kjato Ragfoot: ((Corak: Club +1, 1d6+1/1d3+1))

Goonergeezer: garrick there was at leasy 20 of them and some horrible hell beast"
Smon: They look at the four renowned heroes of Sir Hawkes, victors of countless battles against bandits, orcs, and giant apes. "Oh.. ok then."
Kjato Ragfoot: Duvader So, nothing to truly worry about.
Smon: Are you planning to collect Sir Percy and his men and retreat? To Hawfair, back to Yggsburgh?

Smon: ok
Presuming we get back to the cottage in one piece garrick walks up to the injured Sir Percy " Hail Percy, how does the wound feel? There is good and bad news, your man at arms was seriously injured but is alive, we came across another ogre and a warren of Kobolds, we slew thew ogre and a good few kobolds but were forced to retreat, we cannot recoup here, its too dangerous, but we do know of a farmhouse nearby, it was his daughters we rescued from the ogre before we met you, anyway there is a barn there that we can all rest in until we are readfy to return to the mouths of madness. what say you, is this acceptable? if so we can be there before nightfall.
