Olaf kills the kobold. Half of the group have died and have to make a morale save. If they fail, they flee and the party cannot pursue nor will they get XP for the ones that flee. If they pass the check, the remaining kobolds fight to the death. They must roll a 4 or higher to continue the fight.

Kobolds 3/6

Morale saving throw.

The kobolds will fight to the death.

Not wanting to get yelled at by Laralute again, Slappy charged forth to attack another kobold. Now that there were half the original number, the hobbit was feeling more confident.

Life: 4/4
Treasure: 32 gp
Attack: 1d6-1
Defense: 1d6+1 (+2 against ogres, giants, trolls)

To Slappy'a amazement, he managed to kill the kobold. Not only did he manage it, but got he got a natural 6 and can try for double damage. He didn't manage to do it, but the kobold only had one life point anyway. The stunned halfling looks at the dead kobold in amazement. "I did it," he mumbled aloud.

Kobolds: 2/6.

"Nice job, halfling," Laralute said as she charged forth once again to get one of the remaining kobolds. She didn't want to get distracted by arrogance so they could finish the job here. The elf swings her sword.

She crushes its head. Even though it is dead, she gets a second attack because of her natural 6.

It's a miss, but she got the job done.

Party XP: 1/10

The group search the room. There are more weapons in here. Rikka stands ready. He seemed disappointed that he didn't get a chance to kill one of the kobolds. For his bravery, Dru bandages his wounds and brings him back to 2 life points.

Olaf leads the party out of the room. The passage opens up and the party's advancement is blocked by a fast flowing subterranean river. There is a rundown bridge with mysterious writing or the party can ford the river. "Hmmm, should we try the bridge," the ogre muses examining the water.

The halfling looks at the rushing river and then at the bridge. "I don't like the look of either, "he declares.

"Don't worry, I will help you. You can come with me and Teddy," the Barbarian announces. Without warning, he scoops up Slappy and puts him up on his shoulder and wades into the water.

Olaf must roll 3 or higher but gets a +1 for being a Barbarian. If he makes it, Slappy passes automatically. If not, they must continue to make checks or lose a life each time they fail until they cross or run out of life and drown. Slappy is at -1 if he has to make a swimming check.

Both are wet, but they make it the other side without issue. Slappy holds the lantern high and keeps it from going out. "That wasn't so bad," he yells to the elf, cleric and goblin. He holds the light up so the rest of the group can see clearly.

Laralute studied the bridge runes. Since the halfling had had the light now, it was hard to read, but she had gotten a good enough look when he shined the light across it before the Barbarian helped him cross the river. The water was rushing, but she was a decent swimmer and decided to ford the river.

Skill check 1d6. Must get 3 or better to succeed. or lose a life for each failed attempt.

LL easily crossed the river with a natural 6. She immediately turned back to look at Drusilla and the goblin waiting on the other bank.

Dru glanced at the goblin. She secured her mace and dived in. She must make a 3 or better to survive or lose a life each time she fails. The current was a bit stronger than she expected, but she prayed to her god as she swam.

The priestess made it across with a bit of difficulty, but was safe. She turned back to see the goblin.

1. Rikka will swim
2. Rikka tries the bridge
3. Rikka turns back and disappears into the darkness and tries another way out
4. Same as 1
5. Same as 2
6. Same as 3

Rikka stares at the water. He cannot not swim and is too afraid. Instead, he takes his chances on the bridge. As he steps onto the bridge, it erupts into magical fire, burning him to death. He takes 2 damage from the trap and his charred corpse falls from the bridge into the water.

"Oh no," the priestess cries she makes a holy gesture.

"He should have tried the water like the rest of us," Laralute commented.

"I should have gone back and tried to get him," Olaf said. He covered Teddy's eyes when the bridge burst into flames.

"Oh dear," Slappy replied shaking his head sadly.

Dru lead a quick prayer on the banks at the edge of the river before the group continued on.

After a respectful pause for the fallen goblin, Olaf approached the next door and pushed it open. Inside is a huge zombie dragon! Olaf removed Teddy from his belt, set him down outside and drew his ax. "Wait here, Teddy. This could be dangerous," The barbarian said. He then charged at the dragon.

It is level 6 and has 6 life.

Olaf attacks. 1d3+3

Olaf hits and can roll for double damage with his natural 6.
