Hert withdraws his sword from the fallen lizard and looks at the blood covering it with a bit of surprise and anxiety. He takes a moment wiping the blood a bit and examines his injuries. Then, looking at his allies, he clenches his teeth and starts walking towards the remaining enemies, protecting his body with his shield. He stops right in front of Harvest Moon's plants and gets ready to fight the remaining enemies

Edson watches as yet again his friends do something while he does nothing. He sighs, turns on his heels and heads to the right of Brom and Barratore to help. Not that his misses will be of any help.
Brom steps to position himself to attack (I assume Barratore's attacks will take down the other kobold). "Brom kill you! Brom you all!" He shouts as he towers over kobold 6.

Gerox seeing that all of the close foes have fallen and decides to hold off his spells to see what the others do. He will ready a magic missile spell. If they move foward, he will release the spell at kobold #9. He does 6 points of damage to it.
If they flee, then he will let them go and hold his spell.
ROUND 7 - DM Ian Tuesday February 5th, 2013 9:55:38 AM ROUND 7
Harvest makes sure one of the creatures remain alive before preparing to release the others still entangled.
Barratore chops through the two nearest enemies, felling the kobold with ease!
Hert moves to ready himself for when the other enemies will be released.
Edson moves to help his friends and flank his enemies.
Brom steps forward, finishing off the remaining freed kobold!
Peza readies an action to attack the nearest kobold should it decide to continue fighting.
Gerox does the same with his spells, not wanting to attack a fleeing creature.
Seeing it stands alone, the last kobold turns to run, only to have Barratore cut it down with ease. Harvest, presumably in the next round, lets her spell fade. The kobolds take one look at the heroes and rein their lizards around to run away. They splash into the shallow river before disappearing from sight, screeching the same awful language they had been yelling the entire combat. The jungle once again returns to its peaceful state, the only sounds being the rushing water in the distance and the rustling of the trees.
Great combat, everyone! Please add 1,000 EXP to your character sheets!
UPDATE I also just noticed that this puts you all at level 5 - please level up your characters by this weekend and get the updated sheets to either Zach or I!

She had listened carefully to the shouts and cries of the Small Eyes. There were many words that she had also heard from the Small Eyes that they had encountered in the tunnels under Rum. Learning one language, as she had found when learning the Stone Language of Bralin the Stonesinger, is not so different from learning another. Once one has the knack, a second and a third becomes easier.
These are the thoughts that Harvest Moon thinks as she goes from one Small Eyes to the next stabilizing those that she might save. The wounds upon some of the Small Eyes are terrible, vivid testimony to the might of Barratore Steelwind and Brom the Raging Man. Out of eleven fallen bodies of these Small Eyes, Harvest Moon finds half or less that might be saved.
"We must bind them," she says after the bodies of the Small Eyes have been gathered together. "I will try to wake them after that." She touches the living body of the Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat, and from that touch gains a knowing of these Small Eyes. The language of the Small Eyes is similar to that spoken by great dragons. That is good to know.
"I can speak with them," she tells the other League Adventurers. "I have been listening to their language. I will wake them, and we will speak. Be ready," she warns before calling upon a blessing as she had seen Hert of Gargul do only minutes before.

Hert watches the retreating kobolds till they completely vanish in the jungles. After they are gone, he lowers his shield and drops his sword on the ground. He looks pale and exhausted from the fight, breathing heavily and doesn't really seem to be aware of his surroundings for about a minute or so.
Then he takes the waterskin out of his backpack. He drinks some water in several gulps, washes his face and cleans his face a little. After freshening up, he picks up and sheathes his sword, muttering weakly "I'll never get used to this sort of stuff...", sounding a bit apologetic.
Seeing Harvest taking care of the enemies, he joins her. He checks each of the fallen kobolds. The dead ones he puts in more calm positions, resting their weapons on their chests and whispers short indistinct prayers over each of them. To those who are still alive, but dying, he will give basic help, bandaging their wounds and stopping their bleeding.
"Will we save them?" he asks once all (if any) survivors are gathered and secured.

Barratore takes several steps after the fleeing kobolds with a thunderous bellow Aaaahhhh cowards!. He turns back to the others with a grin on his face. The grin quickly fades when he registers what Harvest and Hert are doing. The explanation Harvest provides returns a snort of derision from the fighter. "A waste of resources", he says to no one in particular.
Barratore leaves them to their task. He cleans his blade, cleans a slice on his thigh with a spray of water and then cleans his blade. Harvest would be a bit and so he grabs Edson and Peza. "Let's go down to the river and see what we can see". Assuming they are following, Barratore heads to the river

Gerox casts a detect magic spell and gazes at the living and dead kobolds looking for any glows. He will rifle through the pockets of all looking for any interesting. He smiles up at Hert sheeplishly but definitely searches for interesting stuff.

Heavy breathing can be heard from beneath Brom's blood matted hair. His body is cover in the blood of his enemy (thanks to the exploding kobold) only the whites of his eyes can be seen through the dark of his face. Brom looks around for any other to spill blood from. With none in sight, Brom lets his anger release and his shoulders slouch slightly as his adrenaline is complete gone.
Brom heads to the water, following Barratore. He checks out for scouts before he begins to wash off the blood that covers his body.

All Seems Quiet - DM Ian Wednesday February 6th, 2013 1:31:09 PM Edson and Gerox set to the task of looting the bodies. Neither find anything of interest, unless they find makeshift jungle spears and leather lizard-barding interesting. The sorcerer finds nothing magical on any of the bodies.
Something clicks for Harvest as she begins to understand the kobold's language. Going around to each of the bodies, she sees that only two have a chance of being saved -- the one wearing the headdress, and another nearby that one. From her domain power, she gleans that these are tribal kobolds, likely set up somewhere deep in the jungle of this island.
Hert helps his ally stabilize and heal the kobolds, laying to rest the ones that have enough corpse left to be restful.
Barratore seems to disagree with his allies' compassion and busies himself with cleaning his blade. The minotaur then heads to the river to see what he can see. It takes a sharp turn south a few dozen feet ahead, making it difficult to see further up-river. The group would be more exposed here, but the area is clear and easier to walk.
Peza and Brom deduce the same thing as their tauric ally. The tracks from the kobolds disappear into the water and emerge on the other side, vanishing north into the jungle.

Harvest Moon looks after the others as they leave the trail and go to ... a river. Have they come so far already? That remains to be seen. She calls upon a blessing of Guidance to begin. A small edge for something she's unaccustomed to doing. Then Harvest Moon releases a burst of bright healing light, feeling some of her own wounds close as the jungle is bathed in goodness. Then she offers a hand to the Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat as he ... or is it she ... rises from unconsciousness.
"I Harvest Moon," she begins with her imperfect command of the language of the Small Eyes. "We sorrow for coming to your territory. But we seek one who burned many our ships. We bring law to this one." She reaches for her book, and the magic haversack offers it up with ease. Opening to the page with her recently drawn map, she shows it to the Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat. "We know he use this river."
"That river is this river?" she asks, pointing from the book to the river at which her fellow League Adventurers currently explore. "This one who we seek. Is up river? Is down river?" she asks.
There is something different in speaking with kindness to a foe. It is a very unusual feeling from simply shouting at them and driving them off. And yet, it is, in a way, a very gratifying thing, muses Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon observes the Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat with great care, guaging its reaction to her words.

Looking down the river, Edson, Barratore and Brom can tell that it goes in this direction for a few clicks before veering off to the right (west). The river might continue on that way, but looking up river, the group can tell that the river takes quite a few twists and turns, as rivers are wont to do.
Gerox keeps an eye out, but nothing beyond the rustling of the leaves in the wind can be heard. The sound of wildlife is beginning to return to the area as well.
As the dressed kobold regains consciousness, it gazes around for a moment, confused, and soon sees itself surrounded by enemies. The lizardkin remains calm, removing its headdress and looking to Harvest as she speaks its language. It sits in silence as she asked her questions, fiddling with a blade of grass. As the monk goes silent, the kobold looks up at her, oddly calm. "You leave. You leave now. Cow-Man not want you here. Pale-Man, Cow-Man, work together." As she shows it the map, the confusion on its face becomes clear. "River? Water? River goes through island. Cow-Man use river. He downriver."
The kobold looks to each of you, shuffling nervously as it sits. "You all leave. Now. Not be here, not good." For the first time, it bares its teeth in what might be a smile. "Cow-Man kill you. Cow-Man stronger than you. Stronger than your Cow-Man."

"We cannot go. We must seek Cow-Man. We must bring law to Cow-Man," she says in the language of the Small Eyes.
Then, in Common to her friends, "We now know that the Pirate King is down river from here. We shall find him. We also know that the Pirate King is a minotaur like Barratore Steelwind, but that he is said to be stronger. But who is this, Pale Man?"
"Does Pale-Man use Magic?" she asks the Small Eyes, her last question. When no other questions come from her friends, the League Adventurers, she once again extends a hand down to the Small Eyes to lift him to his feet. "Live," she says. "Go home. We must go to the Cow-Man. We must bring law to the Cow-Man."

Barratore returns to the group, "Nothing much at the river, kinda what you'd expect I guess." The fact that the Pirate King and the rumors and stories associated to him are now being put to a minotaur does not sit well with Barratore. His nostrils flare and he has to keep himself a bit in check to not reach out and crush the kobold then and there. He settles for spitting on the ground and declaring that regardless of what the Pirate King looks like, he is no minotaur.
Barratore watches the kobold, he truly found himself disliking them more and more. Like one might a fungus, or the spread of ants in your pantry; vermin. "Ask him how long the others have been here; this pale man and cow man."

Edson sees Barratore restraining himself. He walks up alongside the huge Minotaur and pays him on the back lightly. "Don't fret big guy, you'll get your chance to smash something in place of that wretch." He says , while nodding to the kobold. " I like to gamble, a lot " the elf adds" and I am good at it." He says while He waves his hand to motion to the entire group. "And if I'd have to bet on the outcome of this upcoming fight, I would bet everything I own on us. And I'm so sure of the outcome that I would rob you, and bet your money too to get you some extra coin." He adds a smile to show Barratore he really doesn't entertain any notion of robbing the Minotaur.
All Seems Quiet - DM Ian Friday February 8th, 2013 4:31:29 PM Gerox postulates about the Pale-Man being undead, urging that they go downriver, and topping it all off with a threat.
Peza seems in awe that there could be someone stronger than Barratore, but also seems confident that he and their barbarian friend are more than enough of a challenge.
Barratore reports that the river is nothing special. Upon hearing that the Pirate King is now associated with a minotaur enrages the taur, making him see red!
Hert is relieved that the creature will live, releasing a wave of positive energy to heal his allies.
Harvest pushes the kobold to tell them more, relaying anything and everything her allies ask to the creature.
Edson offers words of encouragement, attempting to cheer up his companions.
The kobold begins barking, which Harvest realizes might be a laugh. "You seek Cow-Man? You die. Cow-Man not care about your law. Pale-Man not care about your law." Upon hearing the other questions, it has this to say: "No traps. No patrols. We no need them. We left alone until Cow-Man. Not know about magic. Only see Pale-Man once. Many moons ago. They be here for many, many moons. Too many for count." The words minotaur and Pirate King seem to confuse it as it cocks its head to the side. "King? Me king. King of island! I king! I KING OF ISLAND!" It continues to scream this for a minute before quieting back own, breathing heavily. When it is told it can leave, Gerox's threats still hanging in the air, it scrambles to its feet, grabbing the headdress. "You find Cow-Man! Cow-Man kill you!" It darts off into the woods, screaming about the Cow-Man and the Pale-Man the whole way.

Brom cares nothing for the kobold and his kind. He feels the blood bath that occurred at their hands was warning enough to the kobold. He also doesn't need to say anything to Barratore about this cow-man. Strong or not, this cow-man will not survive the fight. The pale one will be the problem for the casters and the others. Brom wants the minotaur.
He says little about the kobold conversation. He gets his things gathered, including his long spear he dropped in the path, and takes his position only saying "Let's get moving."

He turns to Barratore and says, "It could be a minotaur like you but if the beastlords are involved, it could be something that is only part minotaur and all monster. I guess we will find out when we come to it.
Well I say move down the river for a while, find a likely spot and make camp. Regain our strength and spells and then capture the Cow-man's and Pale-man's pirate ship as a prize! Hmmm Captain Gerox has a nice ring to it. Don't you agree?"

The elf didn't understand, none of them did, but none of them were tauric and so of course they couldn't understand It mattered little in the end, they would all stand together and that was the real point. "Sounds though as if the 2 the kobold speaks of have been about a lot longer than the Pirate King has been in these waters. " The next part gets Barratore to roll his eyes, "Rest? We just got up and they'll be fine. Whole jungle knows we're here and you want to set up camp. Well they certainly won't be expecting that."

Perhaps it is madness that lies at the root of evil, muses Harvest Moon to herself as she watches the Small Eyes run off into the jungle. For there does seem to be something of madness in these that the others call Kobolds.
"I do not think there will be a ship, Gerox Shale," says Harvest Moon to the gnome. "The river should flow south to the sea. If the Resupply Place is down river from us, and we upriver from it, then the ships need not go up this far. We will be north of the Resupply Place. Ships will travel between the Resupply Place and the sea, which is to the south."
"I also do not think that we have the means to board a ship that goes upon a river that is deep enough to sail upon. If we will take the ship of the Pirate King, I think that it must be while it is docked."
"I think, though, that Barratore Steelwind is right. We cannot set camp here. We must go. Elsewhere. I think down river will be best. Along the way we must search for a place that can be secret." Even as she speaks those words, Harvest Moon looks about at her fellow League Adventurers. All thoughts of creeping unseen and unheard into a secret hidden camp go up with her sigh. "Or, at least, a camp that may be well watched and defended."
"Let us go down river. I will a place of camping that we might use hidden and well defended." And, along with Peza and Edson Kazil, Harvest Moon leads the way.

The group beings to make their way downriver (I assume?). They move without problems for a few hours before Harvest notices movement in the bushes. The size of the creatures would indicate lizard-riding kobolds, but whenever they get close enough to be noticed, they soon turn tail and run back into the jungle. While the rushing river that rages to the south covers the sound you are all making, the clear area about ten feet on either side of the water provides anyone watching with a clear view of the heroes.
The kobolds go so far as to fire arrows at the group before retreating. How do you retaliate, if at all? Two hours have passed since the battle as the suns hang high in the sky over the heroes' heads.

"Monkeys behave in such a manner," scowls Harvest Moon as the Small Eyes harass their march. "If you slay one with a bolt, Peza, I think that they will learn and cease to bother us."
"However, it may not be best to travel along the river. It is easier, but the Pirate King will have watchers and we will be seen. Better would be to find a trail that goes within the jungle but still follows the river. The Small Eyes ... The Kobolds have found some. They must have, to follow and shoot at us with arrows."
Harvest Moon searches for a trail.
"I think that we should leave the river."

The shooting is getting annoying, but without mounts to chase down the kobolds, pursuit seems useless.

Gerox doesn't like having pot shots taken at him. The next time he sees a kobold in range he will shoot back with a magic missile spell doing 9 points of damage to the creature. He will look at Barratore and say, "Could you do me a favor and chop off that things head and put it on a stick. Maybe that will discourage them from shooting at us.
We need to stop this harassment or we will never get any sleep tonight and I get cranky when I don't get my full 8 hours.
Harvest, If you or the scout team see any and want to sneak up on them, I can cast an invisibility spell on you. Having you or someone else suddenly appear in their midst might also discourage them, especially if you can slay a few. See what happens when you take pity on one. They don't get the message."
Gerox looks up at the sun and gauges the time. "I suspect the closer we get to the Pirate King, the less likely the kobolds will pursue. They seem a bit skittish around him. Still how do we move through this jungle without getting spotted by pirate scouts. I would expect they have some, if the kobolds aren't in league with him or just sell him the information about us."

Edson takes his position at point scanning for anything ready to ambush them(perception 27). When the idea of moving in the jungle Comes up he voices his opinion. " I agree with harvest, if we move inside a bit it'll be less easy to see us. If we stay on the banks we are sitting ducks for the spotters I am sure he has."

"Peza s right. We'd better hurry. Although I don't think they will follow us right up to the stronghold. It looks like they are really afraid of the pirates. I doubt they would come close."
All Is Most Definitely Not Quiet - DM Ian Tuesday February 12th, 2013 12:14:03 PM Harvest voices her concerns with continuing their travels along the river, as the group is far more likely to be seen this way. There seems to be no set trail in the jungle, but it would be easy for the half-elf to track through the woods while keeping on the same path.
Brom brings up the idea that they keep the river close to avoid getting surrounded as they did before.
Gerox launches another magic missile at their enemies, the unmistakable sound of an injured kobold reaching his ears. The arrows cease after this, and the gnome is unsure if this is because they have simply stopped firing, or have left.
Between that and Peza's intimidation, the group is sure the kobolds must have left them alone by this point.
Un fortunately, Edson can still tell that the "Small Eyes" are still hot on their trail, simply holding back a bit further from the group. He concurs with his monk ally, voting to move into the forest.
Hert wonders if the kobolds will follow them right up to the wall of the pirate stronghold, agreeing that they should make haste.
Moving through the jungle is a much slowly process as Harvest picks through the foliage, leading the group further south. As the suns begin to fall in the sky, a few more arrows land among the group, accompanied by a well-placed spear near Barratore's feet. The group can see the kobolds in the foliage, but they quickly disappear, giving anyone with a ranged weapon out a chance to hit back. The suns will set in 2-3 hours, but none of you are sure where the stronghold is, or if you will reach it before nightfall.
DC 25 Perception: Highlight to display spoiler: {Enough arrows were shot from a close enough distance that at least one should have hit, and the spear in the ground near Barratore's feet was well thrown. It almost seems that the kobolds are trying to miss the group at this point, as if they just want to harry you.}

As more arrows and a spear fall among the group, Gerox grinds his teeth. (missed the perception check) "This is annoying! Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I can keep peppering them with magic missiles but it seems to be a bit of a waste. I am tempted to go invisible and see if I can catch a group of them together.
Do we push on? Or do we camp for the night. I doubt we will get much sleep if we camp but if the kobolds keep following us taking pot shots, I doubt we will sleep if we march for a couple more hours."

Edson ducks behind a tree as the arrows and spear pepper them. When the Kobolds flee, he makes his way back to the group. " This is getting annoying, and it is only a matter of time before one of them gets a lucky shot and seriously wounds one of us.." He takes a few seconds while he looks at the trees. "What if we turn the tables.What if we find a nice place to set up camp, make it look like we are sleeping. The group of us hide in the trees and ambush them back. We can even make it look more realistic, because i doubt Barratore wants to climb any trees. We can use him as our watch, and Barratore you pretend to fall asleep.

"They are herding us," says Harvest Moon. Her keen eyes have discerned the strategy of the Small Eyes. "They do not shoot to slay or wound. They wish to drive us before them."
"I agree with Edson Kazil. We must catch them and slay them all if we wish any rest. I was wrong before to show them mercy. I do not know if it will be as simple as you say, Edson Kazil. The Small Eyes, the Kobolds, they are clever, and their senses are sharp. But I think that we must try."

Gerox ponders Harvest Moon's words and realizes the truth to them. "Your right, they are trying to herd us. The question is are they just trying to move us out of their territory or are they trying to move us into a trap? I don't like being herded. I am not a sheep.
I suggest that we keep moving for now. We be alert to traps and look for a defensible camp. Amongst a grove of trees maybe where we an get some natural cover. Then we fortify it. We could build a low wall of branches, vines and leaves. While this won't stop arrows and spears, it will provide us cover which will make it tougher for them to shoot us. It will bring them in closer where we can see them and then we can thin the herd some more.
Once they get closer, I will make Brom and Barratore invisible. They can get among them and I believe if that happens, they will quickly wish they were someplace else. "
Gerox grins at the thought. "We will never kill them all before they scatter but I doubt they will bother us again if we hurt them like we did before."

All Is Most Definitely Not Quiet - DM Ian Wednesday February 13th, 2013 12:45:03 PM Gerox becomes more annoyed with their assailants, wondering aloud what the group should do next.
Barratore releases an arrow into the trees, his ears greeting with the familiar screech of a kobold. The minotaur is all for exterminating the pests.
Edson takes cover from the latest assault, proposing a ruse to lure out the kobolds with a trap.
Harvest realizes these shots are not to kill, wondering if the kobolds are simply trying to herd them. But towards what? Searching for an easily defensible camp will take some time, but Harvest is up to the task.
Hert is hesitant about camping in the jungle, thinking that the kobolds will simply have more time to amass their troops.
Peza reminds the party of their true quest here, The Pirate King of Rum. (Add 1 Small Short Spear to your inventory.)
Brom simply seems exasperated, switching his sword for his ranged weapon.
As the group continues on, Harvest keeps an eye out for any ideal camping spots. It is another hour before the group falls upon one; a small clearing, thirty by fifteen feet at the most, with an enormous tree on the eastern side. The roots claw out from the ground, creating almost a cave between them and the earth. It would be nearly impossible to see anyone hiding in there if you covered the entrance sufficiently, and the clearing would make for a good campground. It is perhaps 1-2 hours before the suns set, and the group still sees no signs of the Pirate King or his stronghold. The kobolds' attacks have grown less and less frequent, but each assault draws the same results as before.
Please set up three watches to get through the night, assuming you all decide to camp.

"This is good." The trees that hem the small clearing create their own form of night as they block the slanting light from the descending sun. The eyes of Harvest Moon, however, have no difficulty with the gloom. It is a good small clearing with a defensible cave. She whispers her approval again to her fellow League Adventurers. "This, I think, is a good place."
"We cannot go much further anyway. It will soon be dark. Even if the Small ... the Kobolds attack us, we must stop and we must try to rest."
"But I think that they too must be far from their place, from their food and their fire and their home. If they do not rest also, they will tire and be sluggish and be easily brought down."
"I will watch second," she declares as though things have already been decided. "Come, let us gather brush to conceal our camp." Harvest Moon casts a spell of Guidance to aid her in the task, and then sets about things.

Gerox smiles as he looks around the camp. "I am guessing we aren't going to have a fire? Cold dinner? Do we want to build a screen between these roots? Give us a hiding place if something comes along? I believe the kobolds know where we are. Hopefully they will leave us in peace."
Gerox helps gather some leafy branches and piles them up in front of the alcove the tree provides. He will help construct a screen using rope strung across the opening and blankets. He will then lean the leafy branches across the blanket to help conceal it and make it look more natural. He steps back looking at his work and says, 'Not perfect but it will provide some cover and concealment if something big comes stomping by." (ooc rolled a natural 12 but not sure what you would want me to roll vs so I need you to take the modifiers)
He then pulls out a beef jerky and starts chewing it along with some dried fruit. He takes a long pull on his water skin and says to the others as darkness starts to descend. "I will take the last watch. He ducks behind the screen and settles himself into a nook of the tree and is soon snoring.

Barratore follows the others through the denser jungle and pulls up at the small clearing. It Harvest thought it was a good spot, that was all he needed. The minotaur cocks an eyebrow to Gerox as he sets about concealing the entrance and then with a shrug, joins the gnome.
That accomplished to Gerox's liking, Barratore takes the first watch with Hert. "Edson and Harvest should take the deeper watches of the night. Perhaps Peza as well. Now and morning only need a couple of us each."
Barratore stands close to the tree and pulls his mighty recurved bow out and nocks an arrow.

Hert takes the first watch with Barratore. First, he sets up a place to sleep, unrolling his bedroll and putting his backpack aside. Then, he covers himself with his cloak completely, pulling the hood on.
He starts his watch by circling the surroundings, trying to get himself familiar, in case they will have to fight back the enemy. Then he returns and simply guards the camp entrance. His sword is sheathed and his shield lies beside him, while he simply observes the surroundings, and tries to perceive sounds of kobolds preparing an attack, as difficult as it may be with all the sounds of a night in jungle. From time to time he mumbles quiet indistinct phrases, apparently not in Common.
If his watch ends uninterrupted, he yawns and stretches. He picks up his gear and heads to his stuff. After making sure Harvest and Edson take the next watch, he frees himself from his armor, making a lot of loud clicking and clanking noises in the process. Finally, he settles in bed and falls asleep.

Brom gets ready for the night. From here he creates a small blind at the base of a small copse or gathering of trees, only big enough when he kneels down. He makes it at the outside of the camp looking back towards the camp. Before settling in to sleep, Brom locates some mud or wet ground and begins to rub his body with it. He covers arms, legs, face, and armor with mud and dirt. Then he finds a nice spot to bed down, covering himself with palm leaves and other vegetation.
After getting up for his shift, Brom reapplies the mud in needed spots and sets himself in his blind. He lays his long spear in the trees disguised as another of the trees. His bow is in his hands; an arrow notched, but not drawn. He scans the area for sight and sound.

The first watch passes without incident. The jungle remains quiet, even the wildlife having died down a bit as the moon begins to make its journey across the night sky.
During the second watch, Harvest notices movement in the distance. It is difficult to tell what moves in the dark, but it is definitely approaching their camp from the north. As she signals Edson, the movement stops for a moment before beginning again slowly. The elf easily spots the intruder now, his eyes faring better in the inky blackness of the night. The movement stops about twenty feet short of the small clearing and a small head pokes out of the bushes. Unfortunately, it peers right at the tree Harvest is sitting in.
The kobold lets out a screech before retreating back into the woods. (Edson and Harvest can both make attacks on the retreating creature with a 20% miss chance.) On the edge of their vision, the two can see many things, presumably kobolds, mobilizing towards their position.
The group now has two rounds of actions before the enemy is upon them! Waking someone up is a swift action (but there are ways to wake up more than one person at once -- which may give away your positions), waking up is a swift action, and standing up is a move action. Anyone not currently on a watch is asleep, presumably in the small root-cave described earlier (including Barratore -- it's just big enough to fit him, although it's cozy).

She is discovered, and there is no longer any sense in remaining hidden. "Kobolds!" calls out Harvest Moon. She uses the name that the other League Adventurers best know them by rather than the name that she herself prefers. This is done with thought and deliberation within the timeless space of judgement and decision. "ALARM! Kobolds come!"
She calls upon a blessing to grant her a Shield of her Faith. Her eyes quickly take in the night, hoping to count the numbers of their foes before she slips from her current place and off to her right. It would be advantageous to catch one of the Small Eyes by surprise within the brush and the night. It would be advantageous, thinks Harvest Moon to herself as she draws her polearm and silently curses the brambles that rustle as she passes.
Still, she crouches with the polearm ready, hidden behind the screening of a bush. Perhaps one of the Small Eyes will be unlucky. It will come her way unawares, and she will strike.

Hert slowly opens his eyes and grumbles "What? Is it dawn already?.." Seconds later, he realizes that something is off. He rubs his eyes and stretches, looking around. In the near-complete darkness he finds his holy symbol and puts it on his head, and wields his shield and sword. With an expression of regret he leaves his armor lying on the ground.
Instead, he rummages thorough his possessions to take out a piece of paper with several runes on it. He reads them aloud, touching Barratore's armor.
After that, he walks out into the darkness, shielding himself from possible attacks.

Edson doesn't want to give away his position in the tree so he doesn't tell, but is extremely glad when harvest's spell goes off. Edson aims at the creature running back and fires, smiling as the arrow pierces his back(6 damage.) before the kobold feels the pain, the elf has another arrow knocked and ready to go.

Barratore wakes as the alarm is yelled and everybody starts poking and jabbing him in all the wrong places as they fumble about in the dark. If anyone wanted a distraction as they slipped off, they were happy. The fighter barely registers Hert's spell of protection in the dark confusion that is the hiding hole, as he grabs his sword and gets out of it.

ROUND 1 - DM Ian Tuesday February 19th, 2013 4:13:59 PM
With the enemies fast approaching, Harvest cries out to wake up her allies, quickly casting a protection spell before crouching in wait for any enemies.
Gerox literally vanishes in the darkness, ducking into the bushes as he looks for any enemies.
Hert laments his level of preparation, grabbing a scroll to cast on his ally before moving out of their small camp.
Peza launches a sunrod into the darkness, lighting up the surrounding area and revealing the attacking kobolds!
Brom prepares to show no mercy for their enemies as he charges into the fray. While the torch on his belt makes him a bigger target, it reveals the enemies around him.
Edson sends an arrow into the retreating kobold, a smile on his face as he prepares another.
Barratore charges through the clearing, making quick work of two kobolds with a single swipe!
A kobold lights a torch in the darkness, seemingly getting ready to throw it at the group. Many more emerge from the shadows, bearing weapons, but none carrying lizards. Anyone caring to check can tell that there are more on the way, judging by the sound of rustling bushes and tiny feet stomping the ground.
Same rules as last time. Brown area is clearing, anything more than 20ft. away in green area has concealment, 20% miss chance. Grey areas area trees too big to see around, breaking line of sight. Red dots are torches.

It is unwise to remain far to the outside of the main group. Harvest Moon rushes back toward the clearing, coming in from the side upon one of the Small Eyes. She strikes it in the snout with an elbow, but the blow is glancing. The elbow strike lands, but it does little harm.

Barratore wheels to his left as the second kobold falls and bears down upon his next targets. Multiple torches catch his eye and the sounds coming from the deeper jungle tells him this could be a long and drawn out battle. He closes, dipping the point of his sword down and keeping it well out in front of him to keep the creatures coming from simply charging en masse at him

Gerox decides to let the others deal with the first wave and wants to ambush the second wave as they come in. His plan is to use a metamagiced burning hands which will have a cone shape range of 30'.(twice normal range) He wants to catch multiple kobolds with it and will hold his attack until he sees an good opportunity. He will move towards the sound of the next wave.

Peza levels her crossbow, dropping one of the kobolds with ease. These ones seem a bit weaker than their counterparts, but that may be simply because this is the first of what seems like many waves.
Brom's rage proves fruitful as he dashes a kobold's brain on the dirt! The torch in its hands drops to the ground. It sputters for a moment, but remains lit. However, the foliage in the area may be subject to fire, and a forest fire might be a bit much for the heroes.
Edson strikes at another kobold, felling it in one shot! (Brom had already taken care of #6, redirected your attack to #7.)
Hert charges into the fray, swinging his sword with such ferocity that it feels like a miss -- but the cleric simply shredded through its flesh so easily that it felt as though he was cutting through nothing! He does not spot a distinctive leader in the area.
Barratore moves to the side, swinging his sword in a wide arc that his small enemies duck under with ease.
Gerox moves through the battle unseen, preparing to unleash a torrent of fire once the second wave arrives.
#1 moves in to attack Harvest granting her an attack of opportunity on the creature, which hits! Her halberd cuts into the monster, killing it before it can even attack! #4 attempts to charge Barratore, but the taur's sword cuts it down before it can get the chance. #5 is a bit more successful than its counterparts at getting to its target, but swings wide at Brom.
A number of kobolds appear from the darkness, all riding the same lizards as before. Some bear spears, while others rain arrows down on the heroes! Only one finds its mark, dealing 6 damage to Edson!

Ooc: Brom has a reach weapon. So I'm not sure if he would get an AOO against 5. AC 15, damage 18. Can't see map from phone. Will post later.
Perhaps they are ill. Perhaps mad, speculates Harvest Moon as she contemplates why it might be that the Small Eyes throw their lives away with such abandon. What could be of such value here that they would die to protect it? Or is their hate so large? It is difficult to imagine. Could these Small Eyes too be different from the ones that they had encountered in the tunnels under Rum? The Small Eyes of the Tunnels seemed to find no disadvantage in the darkness. How else to explain the reason that these Jungle Small Eyes throw torches? Unless, it is their intention to set the jungle ablaze. If so, there are much better ways to do so, ways in which they need not rush to their deaths.
In such a manner does Harvest Moon seek to expand her knowing by questioning what is before her, even to her last breath, even as she fights for her life and the lives of her fellow League Adventurers. She rushes back across the field of contention to a place at which she can put her back to a great tree. There she delivers a solid kick to the ribs of another Small Eyes. Above them both, Harvest Moon swings the polearm. The wicked blade cleaves the air, threatening any who might think, unwisely, that the back of Harvest Moon is not protected.

What did feel like a miss actually reached the target! Hert surprisedly watches his enemy fall on the ground from his strike. The next wave of kobolds, however, gets his attention.

Hert's luck is not as good this time, as these kobolds seem a bit better trained than the first wave.
Peza busies herself with putting out the torch, pinpointing which enemies are the greatest threat. (Lizard-Riders are red, archers are yellow, fodder is black.)
Gerox suddenly reappears on the battlefield, torching three kobolds with a metamagicked spell! (#6 failed it's save with a 7, 4 and 3 rolled 15 and 16 respectively.)
Edson plugs an arrow into one of the riders!
Brom steps forward to finish it off, ending the rider's life in one fell swoop!
A few more kobolds appear from the darkness, although many less than the previous two waves. Harvest just manages to dodge the attacks of a new kobold and its lizard-riding ally. Hert's target retaliates, but the cleric counts himself lucky as the blow misses! The archers, #2 and #3 attack Barratore and Gerox respectively, missing the former and hitting Gerox for 7 damage!Brom finds himself the target of two attacks, both of which miss wildly as the kobolds trip over some roots protruding from the ground. A new rider greets Edson with its spear, but the elf has no intention of getting himself stabbed today. #6 wavers for a moment, smoking and torched, before shakily leveling its bow at Gerox, firing off one last arrow before collapsing to the ground -- fortunately for the gnome, the arrow drives itself into the ground at his feet.

Hert's strike pierces the air and the kobold doesn't hesitate to retaliate. He jumps away just in time to avoid getting hit. Enemy's attack only manages to get his cloak, leaving a tear in it. Hert immediately counterattacks, swinging his sword in an upward strike.
After the attack, he darts his eyes to the left, noticing his flank is completely, exposed. There isn't much he can dp about it though, so he focuses on his opponent again, waiting for his next move.

Edson dodges the arrow, and luckily keeps his balance. He aims at the kobold(#10) and lets loose, hitting his mark but barely grazing it. (1 dmg)
Harvest Moon once again kicks out at the lizard rider. She feels ribs break further, driving shattered bone into the Small Eyes heart and lung as she impacts upon its chest once again. Whether it falls or whether it does not, Harvest Moon is moving again. As she draws her foot back, she uses the momentum to turn away into a diving roll. Tucking the haft of the Polearm neatly into her stomach, she summersaults away from the two Small Eyes and toward an archer she had seen previous to darting for the tree. When Harvest Moon comes out of her roll, she is directly before the Small Eyes Archer. She gives a small threatening growl.
"You go," says Harvest Moon in the language of the Small Eyes. "Run away or die."

Hert lays into the rider in front of him with his sword, lamenting his defensive drawbacks.
Brom spins on his heel, favouring his blade over his spear. But as he moves to kill the rider, he realizes that his ally did the job for him already, and so the steel bites into lizard flesh instead, dropping the mount!
Edson attacks the nearest rider, grazing the kobold an dealing minimal damage. [i](Moved you five feet
Harvest leaves a kobold coughing and hacking, barely able to stand, before darting over to the archer with a distinct threat. The kobold screeches, yelling back, "NOOO! Cow-Man want heroes dead! HE WANT YOU DEAD!"
Peza's shot clips the rider in its shoulder, who screams in pain as the bolt pierces its flesh!
Gerox calls on his bloodline to fire an elemental ray at Hert's attacker, filling the air with the smell of burning flesh as the kobold falls to the ground!

The riderless lizard turns its attention from its master's target to Gerox, lashing out with its jaws -- but the gnome proves too swift for the creature!
#9 continues to attack Brom with its spear, going wide as it screams with frustration.
#10 moves to attack Edson, but the kobold's luck continues to prove poor.
He knows. "The Cow Man knows," calls Harvest Moon to her fellow League Adventurers. "He knows that we are here." There would be no surprise attack. And it is now abundantly clear that these Small Eyes are in league with the King of Pirates.
Harvest Moon swings a round-house elbow strike at the same Small Eyes, hoping to bring it down this time. It is a fast strike, part of a flurry of quick blows. She feels it hit and hears the crunch of bone as she spins away, retreating around the corner of the tree for cover against her pursuers at the same time she closes with the archer and aims a kick, the second attack of her flurry, at the Small Eyes with the bow. This strike does not land.
"Allow none to live," calls Harvest Moon. And then, as she swings the Polearm in a wide and threatening arc, "You are mewing worms," she taunts the Small Eyes in their own language, "and your rolling and grubbing will not stop us."

Edson drops his bow at his feet, and pulls out his Khukri. He slashes the angled blade at the kobold. The attack is terrible and misses badly.

Gerox takes a 5' step back to 11.03 and says, "Hert, I will handle the lizard. Go help the others." He raises his hands and casts a magic missile spell at the lizard that is threatening him and his comrades. 3 darts leap out and strike the lizard causing 13 points of the damage.
Gerox glances around to make sure that no more attackers are trying to sneak in. The sounds and distractions of the battle confuse his vision and ears and he only notices a pretty butterfly as it flutters by. Natural 1 on perception roll

A quick look about and the kobolds were falling like leaves in the autumn, the fight would over soon. What Harvest said about the Cow man knowing and the kobolds working for him or with him didn't overly concern him. The odds they had spent this much time on the island and escaped notice was terribly small
Barratore steps north and attacks the far archer, knowing if the one right in front of him tries to use that bow he will strike him down as he draws. With so few left, the fighter drops his added defenses to finish the kobolds more quickly (Attack 7 hit Ac 28 Dmg 16. Cleave to 8 hit Ac 17 Dmg 15)

Hert yelps, as the arrow pierces his side, getting stuck somewhere in the ribs. He quickly removes it, tossing it aside. Realizing he left his flank open for the lizard he turns, only to see Gerox hitting it with his magic projectiles. He blinks in surprise and nods with appreciation.
Then he looks around. He looks at Brom, mutilating yet another kobold in his rage. He winces at Peza telling everyone to leave no kobold alive. "This turned into a damn bloodbath..." he says sorrowfully. He opens his mouth, wanting to add more, but realizes that everyone is focused on the combat. He sighs and walks up to the nearest surviving kobold. Grabbing his sword with both hands he hits enemy weapon, in attempt to make them drop it. He then looks them straight in the eye and simply says "Run.", pointing his sword suggestively to the jungle.

ROUND 5 - DM Ian d20+5=10 ; d20+5=17 ; d6+2=5 ; Monday February 25th, 2013 10:32:55 AM Harvest determines that the kobolds are indeed working with this Cow-Man, striking down the nearest one before getting some space between her and the archer.
Brom shows no mercy, slicing through another kobold with ease!
Peza takes aim, waiting for the kobold to let its defence down before finding its weak point with a well-placed bolt.
Edson grows frustrated with his attacker, swinging wildly with his kukri.
Gerox lashes out with multiple force missiles, but gets distracted by the wildlife soon after.
Most of Barratore's targets are dead by the time he readies another attack, and so he simply strikes down the nearest enemy without a second thought!
The archer screams as Hert knocks the bow from its hands. The dragonkin freezes for a moment, staring at the cleric in terror before turning on its heel and tearing off into the forest without a word.
The remaining lizard lashes out at the sorcerer Gerox, missing his leg with its snapping jaws!
Edson's attacker keeps pressing, stabbing the elf for 5 damage!
As many of the kobolds lie dead, the heroes hear a familiar horn sound out from behind them. Whipping around, they can see the outlines of four more kobold riders in the clearing. But the one in the middle is different -- it bears the brightly coloured feathered headdress from before. Whether or not it is the same kobold, it cannot be said, but the decoration seems the same.

More Small Eyes. Harvest Moon abandons the tree. She leaps and bounds - a small springing jungle animal carrying a long pole at the end of which is fixed a wicked curved blade. Harvest Moon places herself protectively between her friend Peza and this new threat. Fiercely she growls, readying to strike out at the first Small Eyes that approaches near enough for a punch or a kick.
"This time, you will be slain," she says to the one in the Feathered Hat. She speaks as though this one is the same as the Small Eyes Chief she had mistakenly shown mercy to earlier in the day. It is difficult, in truth, to say this for sure. But, in this case, truth is irrelevant. "This time, I will take your Hat of Feathers for my own."

Gerox moves 5' away to 11.04 and raises his arms yet again throwing another 3 missiles into the lizard who is attacking him doing another 8 points of damage to it (total 21 from Gerox).
He glances over his shoulder and sees the newcomers come into the area. He wonders if it is the same leader who they tangled with before. That fellow was pretty tough but he too wouldn't have rested to get his spells back.

Barratore pivots as he cuts down the poor creature in front of him, bringing his attention to the others now coming forward. Barratore moves purposefully south and engages. This new group would be the elite bodyguard and the leader of the tribe. Or at least, so he surmises. With that thought, it is better to move in with some caution. Barratore sweeps the large blade out in front of him, creating a nearly 6' long steel wall that any attacker would need to consider when engaging him.

The blood-spattered barbarian Brom slashes through another kobold, crying out a threat to the leader.
Hert throws his arms out in an attempt to blind the decorated kobold. He can see its eyes milk over for a moment, but the dragonkin shakes its head and looks to the cleric with disdain in it's clear eyes. (Fort 18)
Gerox steps back, throwing out another fistful of force that finally fells the reptilian foe.
Barratore charges in, bringing up his sword as a challenge to any that would dare strike him.
Peza levels her crossbow, ready to attack the first one that moves.
Edson freezes up, leaving an opening for his opponent, who deals 5 damage with it's spear!
#1 attempts to make a run at Harvest but Barratore cuts it down before it can make it very far. It's lizard attempts to continue the charge, but between Barratore, Harvest and Peza, the reptile barely makes it much further.

From the corner of her eye, Harvest Moon witnesses as Edson Kazil is struck for the third time. The elf is quite bloodied, his wounds are great, but he is too far for her to help. The Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat, however, has proven itself to be a user of magics. There is much danger in this.
"Peza, I must stop the Small Eyes and his magic," says Harvest Moon before bounding off with a speed as great as that of Brom's. Circling the conflict she comes upon the Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat and skids to a stop behind him ready to deliver a blow should it make the wrong move.

Barratore smirks as the lizard bites him in the leg. The creatures grip was weak and the bite not very deep. His eyes widen as the fireball explodes on his position, but he natural reflexes cause him to duck away at the last moment, avoiding the blast. A quick thrust forward and down, skewers the lizard. Retracting his blade and trailing it back to his right, he cleaves through the kobold with the crude club that Brom so kindly left for him. "Feathers or not, he still only counts as one!" he calls after the barbarian

Flame bursts up from below the Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat. But there is something within Harvest Moon that knows of such dangers beforehand. There is something within Harvest Moon that is ready. Even as the flower of red flame blooms, Harvest Moon is turning, ducking her head and spinning away. When the flare of red flame dies, Harvest Moon stands unscathed.
With a growl she leaps behind the Small Eyes once again, providing a place where Brom the Rager might attack from the other side. This time, however, she harries the flank of the Small Eyes of the Feathered Hat. She aims a distracting kick that flies terribly close to the scaly earhole of the Small Eye, hopefully, giving Brom the Rager an even greater chance to strike the thing.

Gerox tsks to himself at Barratore's nasty blow and feels that the others can handle the leader from there. He pivots and launches yet another magic missile spell at Edson's adversary. 3 bolts slam into the kobold doing 13 points of damage to the hapless kobold rocking its body with each impact.

The Smoke Clears... - DM Ian Thursday February 28th, 2013 1:42:41 PM
The heroes swarm the remaining kobolds, cutting down the last of their enemies. The riding lizard of #10 scurries off into the underbrush, losing itself in the foliage. As Harvest and Brom come down on the leader, it screeches with horror before bring run through with a sword. Brom lets out a mighty roar as the kobold goes limp, its bloodstained headdress tumbling softly to the dirt.
The clearing is still. The only sound is the heroes heavy breathing and the sound of running in the distance. As they stop to listen, the group can tell that whatever or whoever is running is definitely running away from them. Harvest can make out snippets of conversation in Draconic that sound something like "run", "run away", and "oh Gods, run away".
Soon, the kobolds have retreated into the jungle, leaving the heroes bloodied and bruised, but standing. A few places on the ground remain blackened and scorched, smoking from the kobold mage's attack. It lies bleeding on the ground, not unconscious, but clearly dead.
The moon hangs directly over your head, illuminating the jungle effectively. In the background, the river rushes on constantly, surging south towards the Pirate King.
Harvest Moon casts a quick cantrip as the voices of the Small Eyes fade into the jungle. With her senses boosted by the blessing of Guidance, she listens for the direction in which the Small Eyes flee. Do they run down river? Returning to the Pirate King - the Cow Man and the Pale Man? Or do they flee in a different direction?
"We cannot travel well in darkness," says Harvest Moon to her fellow League Adventurers. Then she continues, explaining her statement. "But neither can they travel well either. I do not think that they can return to us for another fight until morning. It is best, I think, that we remain here and continue our rest."
"They know of our coming already. One place is as good as another to camp. We will only tire ourselves more by moving camp or pursuing the Small Eyes."
Harvest Moon frowns then at the wounds of Edson Kazil. Others too, bear wounds. Gathering her fellow League Adventurers together, she raises her arms and light bursts from her twice, healing the cuts and burns of her friends. She takes out the Wand of Torian Silverleaf too, and uses the last charge to further heal Edson Kazil.
Then, as the others settle back into their rest, Harvest Moon collects the Feathered Hat of the Small Eyes chief, and begins dragging the body into the brush for the night beasts to consume.

Gerox will cast a detect magic on the bodies of the kobolds, taking special interest in the leader. He suspects a necklace of magic at least as he doubts the creature had the intelligence to cast his own fireball. He will search all the bodies for loot, and then settle back down to sleep hoping he can restore his spells.

Barratore cleans and stows his sword. Walking towards Brom with a nod of thanks to Harvest, the minotaur starts pointing out dead kobolds. "So it was one and two right there, then over there was three and four and then just over here five six and seven." The fighter has a big grin on his face, though upon seeing Edson's condition it does fade somewhat, but not much.
Harvest gets his attention and he nods in agreement after looking up at the moons overhead. "It is still pretty late." Barratore snags bodies of kobolds and drags them away from the clearing about a dozen yards into the jungle. That is after Gerox and the others are done looking them over. "Anything to suggest they are more than the primitive creatures they appear to be?"
Barratore heads back to the tree to get some more sleep.

The head kobold falls under Brom's sword and he lets the rage subside within him. He smiles at Barratore. "That's pretty good...but...one there, then two over there, three and four, well a lizard but still counts, then there was five there and six here...AND..." He grabs the head of the chief kobold and lifts it to show Barratore, "There is this one here, number seven. Can you say [i]grand prize/i]."

"That kobold gave you all you could handle " teases Peza to Edson ... ;-)

Gerox laughs and says, "Shoot, I took care of 6 myself and I am half both of your sizes. You really shouldn't be bragging. I even got a bit of the leader."

Edson nods his thanks to Harvest, after receiving the healing. He watches as his wounds clear up a bit, but he was still worse for wear.
He smiled to Peza. "When I had by string plucking, they were going down. But once he got close, I had a few missteps." he says as he wipes off his weapon. " Plus it's not the size of dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog... these dogs had some fight in them"
Once he gets situated, Edson searches the bodies for anything. (Perception 22)

OoC to Edson: Also add +8hp from the two Channels that Harvest Did.

During the fight, Hert failed to dodge the ball of fire. Hert fell on the ground, attempting to shake it off, but only managed to give himself even more burns. Luckily, the fight ended soon, and after Harvest's healing, and Gargul's blessing, his wounds heal up completely.
When the fight is over, Hert doesn't cheer up or talk much. Sulking, he cleans up his sword and clothes from the blood splatters. After washing his face and hands, he goes to his equipment and gets a small shovel from it. He digs a deep round hole in the ground near the pile of kobold corpses. Then he arranges the corpses neatly in the hole and buries them. He finishes up by reading a prayer over the new grave.
Once again cleaning up - this time from the dirt on his hands he returns to his sleeping bag. He lies there, staring at the sky and slowly falling asleep
OOC: Hert heals all for 15hp
The Smoke Clears... - DM Ian Friday March 1st, 2013 3:10:16 PM
The group reacts differently to the battle.
Harvest knows that the kobolds are not running in one direction -- they are simply running. Some scurry downriver, others upriver, others simply scatter into the forest on their own. After healing her allies, she takes the chief's headdress before dragging the corpse into the bushes.
Gerox searches the area for magic. While the chief's necklace is glowing, the magic is beginning to fade from it. The artifact once had a strong evocation aura, but it is quickly dissipating. DC 20 Spellcraft to Identify: Highlight to display spoiler: {The item was a Level II Necklace of Fireballs.}
Barratore brags to his allies as he cleans the campsite before getting some rest.
Brom meets the minotaur's challenge, counting his own kills, the chief among them.
Peza laughs, helping her friends with the bodies. She also pokes fun at her elven friend, who takes it in stride.
Edson breathes deeply, the divine magic refreshing his battered body. Searching the corpses, he finds nothing more than small bows and spears, basic leather armor and barding, and most of those are covered in blood. These creatures were clearly not very wealthy.
Hert takes on a more somber mood, digging a grave for the fallen. By the time he is finished, the moon has moved considerably closer to the horizon. A small price to pay for a clean conscience.
I am going to assume you all take a full night's rest. No need for watches, you scared the kobolds off well enough. Zach will be taking the reins again on Monday. I've had a blast DMing! I'll be seeing you all again soon. ;)

Harvest Moon stands the rest of her watch. The return of the Small Eyes is unlikely. The appearance of the Pirate King, at this time of night, is equally unlikely. There are beasts, however, that might be drawn by the bodies of the slain Small Eyes. Sated with their meat, though, they will be unlikely to attack an able group such as herself and the League Adventurers.
At the end of her watch, she retires to her nest, curling up until some unknown mechanism within herself senses the gray of the false dawn and she awakens. After tending to her toilet, Harvest Moon observes the morning ritual of communion with Domi and the his connection to the Wold itself. When she rises from her meditations, the first light of the true dawn greets her. This may be a difficult day. This may be the day that they must contend with the Pirate King.

Unable to sleep after the encounter with the kobolds .... Peza climbs into the tall tree of their cave ... reaching up to the tree tops ... finding a comfortable spot .... she starts her watch shift .... her eyes sweep the surrounding jungle ....
ooc: thanks Ian !!

With his watch over Edson heads to bed. More healing from Hert and Harvest help clear the wounds up, but only a good nights sleep will ease the pain. Edson lays down, staring to the sky and pondering his place in this team.
After a few minutes, he says a little too loudly so everyone can hear " I might get stabbed a lot but atleast I'm giving you guys a chance to practice your healing"

"Thanks for that. Feelin' much better." He says to Hert's healing.
Brom gruffs at Gerox's comment. Then he walks over to the gnome and gets down on a knee, right down at his level. "When I'm the one standin' 'tween their spears and you, I'll brag as much as I dang want. You wanna be the meat shield then you can me not ta brag...Get it." Brom stands up and walks back to what he was doing prior. He does glance for any looks of others he might be getting. Brom feels he made his point.
"Right there with ya, Edson."
Barratore Steelwind (Dan K) AC: 17 (T 16 FF 14), CMD: 23; HP: 51/51Character Sheet Saturday March 2nd, 2013 4:25:59 PM
Barratore smirks at Brom's count, not thinking the man has it right, but it was a good natured contest and so not worth mentioning. Barratore ignores Gerox, but can't help chuckling when he hears what Brom says to the gnome. Settling in, he offers a bit of advise in Edson's direction, "Might try not letting them stab you as a change of pace next time."
Soon the minotaur is asleep, a trait learned at an early age, when sleep presents itself, seize the opportunity
Gerox Shale ac 13 TA 13 FF 11 CMD 13 hps 37/37 George d20+8=22 ; Saturday March 2nd, 2013 10:39:35 PM
Gerox's eyes raise at Brom's comment and he almost protests that he wasn't hiding behind anyone but adventured out into the jungle and attacked by himself but suddenly he remembers a piece of advice his Grandfather said to him. "Tall folks are big but because they are so big, they have small minds. Big tempers but small minds. Tread carefully around them." Brom seemed to fit this mold more than most so Gerox wisely decides to hold his tongue.
He reaches out and pats Brom on the shoulder and says, "Thank you for being my meat shield?" he says with a question in his voice.
He turns to the others, and says, "I am not seeing any lasting magic. The necklace was a necklace of fireballs but it's magic seems to be expended." (spell check 22)
Gerox quickly turns in to get some sleep so he can regain his spells. He wakes up refreshed.
Hert AC 14(13ff 11t) HP 47/47 CMD 16(15ff) Sunday March 3rd, 2013 4:01:38 PM
Hert wakes up early and immediately leaves to the jungle. He doesn't leave too far, and words of his prayers can be heard from behind the trees. He returns refreshed; apparently he also took a quick shower - at least his hair and beard are completely soaked in water. His gloom from yesterday night is mostly, gone, even though he avoids looking at the grave that he made.
He makes himself a simple and bland breakfast, packs his stuff in a backpack and puts his armor with some assistance. When he's ready, he waits for the leaders of the group to make their decision.
