Rhys couches down to examine the tracks (Survival 17) and points them out to Fingers and the rest. If in addition to identifying the tracks, he can determine the number and recency of them he will also pass that information along to the rest of the group. Once he enters the caves he will proceed around the edge of the room, looking for hidden doors and other nooks and crannies. (Perception 11)

Myre would be lucky to figure out the tracks were made by "some sort of foot" and so she doesn't bother.
OOC: I'm assuming Nintos shares the fact that the glow isn't magic.
She is pretty shocked to learn the glow isn't blue. "I guess this is a color found in nature after all. If it's not magic, what is it?" Myre puts her limited knowledge of the natural world to the test, trying to figure out why this cave is glowing. She really does think very hard before sighing and giving up.
Know, nature: 8
She waits for the place to be properly looked over. "While you folks stare at the dirt, I'll keep an eye on our rear." She turns around to keep watch. "I mean behind us. Not our...nevermind."

Xuce tiptoes (stealth 30) up to the cave and peers around the inside (perception 29) looking for anyone trying to hide.

Zarsellet follows at the rear of the group with his little bow. When tracks are mentioned he wondered how tracks got in the area. Did that mean someone was ahead of the group? He knew that some people knew about tracks, but he wasn't one of them.
Since everyone else was studying the entrance to the cave he watched everywhere else in case some enemy happened to approach while they were moving in.
OOC: Perception 21. So then he notices that Myre is also watching their rear.... or behind the group. like he was doing.
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, CMD 13, HP 22 Tuesday November 1st, 2022 10:55:52 PM
Whilst the party is grouped about the mouth of the cave, Paige beseeches Domi to fill their hearts with courage*. She then steps back , and takes a place next to Myre and says in a soft voice: ”we’ll keep guard on our flank, but I can move forward if there is trouble.” The half elf rests her palm lightly on the shaft of her new mace.

Once they give the okay to move forward Nintos uses the end of his quarterstaff as the destination of his Light spell. “That should help us. Not all of us have the vision of a dwarf in the deep mines. I had hopped the blue glow was something arcane, but it could still be something useful for those who study alchemy.” [Skill check for appropriate Knowledge: 21 (+1 if arcana or dungeoneering)

DM Brian Z- entrance to the cave Wednesday November 2nd, 2022 7:52:15 AM
Rhys determines the tracks were likely made by kobolds. Most of the tracks outside the cave have worn away with the weather, but the ones inside are easier to identify.
With no obvious enemies present, the team moves into the cave. As the sun continues rising into the sky, the blue glow fades. As you enter the cave, it is now obvious what caused the glow. The walls are covered in blue quartz. While the gem stone may not be particularly valuable, there is a lot of it. The cave must be a significant vein of the mineral.
Thanks to Nintos' light spell, you can see all the way to the back of the cave. There, you find a door. It is currently opened, wide enough for a child to squeeze through. Nintos can see that the door radiates strong abjuration magic. There is also some writing in elven on the door. The door contains a number of intricate carvings, some appear to be dwarven symbols, and others are elven.
Around the rest of the cave, the team finds what looks to be the remains of a campsite.
Myre (Carl) -- AC 13/12/11 CMD: 13 HP: 20/20 Spell Slots Remaining: Inf/5 d20+5=25 ; d20+4=18 ; Wednesday November 2nd, 2022 11:53:02 AM "Oh! That's elven!" Once Fingers gives the all clear, she starts heading to the door but stops when Nintos says something about abjuration magic. She sighs, and stops. She doesn't know enough about using magic to tell what spell's on that door, but she knows enough about magic in general to remember that abjuration has a few alarm-type spells. (know arcana: 25)
"I want everyone to promise me that someday we're going to forgo all this sneaking in and just bust the door down, consequences be darned!" She waits for Nintos to figure out what the deal with that aura is.
She does try to squint at the writing from back here, seeing if maybe she can read it without getting too close. (Perception 18)

Letting out a chuckle at Myre’s statement about kicking in the door, Nintos nods; “Yes, but let’s save that one for one that doesn’t radiate strong magics. For all we know this could be trapped with an Imprisonment trap linked to this door. And, well, let’s just say you don’t want to experience that.”
Still smiling at seeing a door kicked in brute force, Nintos is glad that one with such beauty tied to it. Nintos, knowing both Elven and Dwarven studies the door. He takes his time and is in no hurry. He quickly slinks off into “library” mode where he takes in every detail of the door, along with the potential of what the spell could be and its purpose.
“Uvelucal valignatic uvelucal saskic!” Is muttered under his breath as cast Detect Magic. [Spellcraft Roll = 17 while studying with Detect Magic.]
Rhys (Bob W) AC 18; CMD 17 (19 vs Disarm & Sunder); HP 20/20 Wednesday November 2nd, 2022 5:09:25 PM ”The tracks outside are old, worn away by winds and rain, but inside where they are protected from the elements they are clearly those of kobolds. I believe them to be older as well.”. Rhys examines the elven script on or near the door but cannot decipher the dwarven writing at all. ”Wait a moment…didn’t the dwarves say the inner door was closed and they were unable to pass? So who or what awaits us inside now?”.
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, CMD 13, HP 22 Wednesday November 2nd, 2022 5:37:48 PM
Sweeping her gaze from the party’s flank, to focus on the door, Paige studies the elvish script and symbols. The dwarven runes are a mystery, however.

Hearing the discussion and accepting that at least this part of the cave seemed safe Zarsellet uses his small size to move up close to the door to examine it as well. He recognizes the elvish writing but is clueless about the other (dwarvish). He also casts Detect Magic to study the aura, knowing that the wizard probably already has done so.... Unfortunately he has trouble keeping his focus and has no idea what the magic is.... OOC: Detect Magic - Spellcraft 13
"Is Imprisonment Abjuration magic? I'm not familiar with that spell. Probably not something a bard could cast I'm guessing!"

Or they opened the door and it vaporized the lot of them. I'll make a less silly guess when you folks tell me what the writing says.
Oh and if it helps, remember I can push the door open or closed from 25 feet away.

Kwarsk advances to the hinged side of the door, not getting between the readers and the door but ending in a position where Kwarsk can peer through the "child-size width" that the door is open. Kwarsk is expecting trouble, silently agreeing with Rhys that the door was supposed to be closed... Kwarsk's Tower Shield is at the ready in his left hand, and his trusty Masterwork Dwarven Waraxe is at the ready in his right hand.

DM Brian Z- entrance to the cave Thursday November 3rd, 2022 7:56:26 AM
Myre looks forward to the day when the team will kick the doors in. Maybe she won't even worry about the consequences.
Nintos studies the door with detect magic. Zarsellet helps out. The auras are no longer attached to specific spells, and are beginning to fade. Nintos can tell there were several auras, and some of them were strong. Looking closely, you can tell that some of the intricate carvings and decoration were actually part of an elaborate puzzle lock, with both mundane and magical components.
Xuce notes some debris in the cave, including a few bits of leftover parts of crossbows, a few bolts, and some leftover twine and rope. Nothing of real value.
Paige takes a look at the writing, along with several others. In dwarven and elven, it reads as follows:
Break not the seal of this door for contained within lies the doom of many Highlight to display spoiler: {OOC- none of the writing is magic}
Rhys, Fingers and Kwarsk all note the door was reportedly closed. Fingers makes a few guesses, time will tell if they are silly or not. Kwarsk takes a look into the room beyond, and notes some movement.....
Myre (Carl) -- AC 13/12/11 CMD: 13 HP: 20/20 Spell Slots Remaining: Inf/5 Thursday November 3rd, 2022 1:45:13 PM Myre looks around for kobold corpses, but feels like she would have noticed them by now if they were there.
"Do any of you dirt-readers see signs of a bunch of little dog-man bodies hitting the floor? Maybe the kobold higher-ups just had a bunch of grunts trigger the spells and take the hit? It's not like the world's gonna run out of kobolds anytime soon."
She stares at the ground, trying to answer her own question, but Myre cannot read dirt. "Anyway, the door says that many are doomed because this seal was broken. I think we should look on the bright side and point out that the writing does not say ALL are doomed. Maybe that means even those who made this door recognized it wasn't an apocalyptic threat!" Myre smiles. Evidently she's taking her own advice.
"Can we kick the door open now?"

After taking what notes he needs on the door, Nintos steps aside and smiles at Myre; "My elven friend, why would you want to destroy such an amazing work of craftsmanship by your own peoples work, along the side of those of the dwarfs?" He turns back to the door. "Anyway, it's already opened. I won't be going in first." Nintos waits to move in about halfway following his parties lead.

Rhys silently draws his curved blade from its scabbard strapped across his back. He signals his companions that he intends to slip into the room and that he has seen movement from within. Carefully placing each footstep he seems to glide through the opening without a sound (Stealth 21). He subconsciously holds his breath as he passes through the threshold, hoping that what’re magic was imbued upon the door has since dissipated. Alert to any noise or further movement he scans the chamber beyond the door (Perception 15)

Zarsellet mutters to himself as he reads, "Break not the seal of this door for contained within lies the doom of many? So whoever opened the door was illiterate or stupid?" He hears Myre's words and moves up to check the gnome-sized door. He sings a quick chant and summons some Dancing Lights to float ahead of him, through the door....
He looks through the door and answers Xuce, "The door is open so perhaps the doom is out. Maybe qwe can figure out what is was, or is?" He sends the floating lights through the door.
OOC: Perception 8. I guess I blinked?
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, CMD 13, HP 22 Thursday November 3rd, 2022 10:17:50 PM
Paige waits for Rhys or Zarsellet to give a sign that the party should advance through the opening. She looks over the shoulders of those in front to see if the opening can be made larger to accommodate those of the party who are not child (or kobold) sized.

DM Brian Z- entrance to the cave Friday November 4th, 2022 7:42:59 AM
The door opens out, towards the party. It is large, and somewhat heavy, but still in good working condition. DC strength check 8 to move. It is currently open wide enough for a small sized creature to move through.
Zarsellet sends a magic light into the room, lighting the place up.
You can hear some chittering from within, maybe it's a language? speak draconic, may read spoiler: Highlight to display spoiler: {Wait till they set off the trap!}
The heroes have the initiative...
OOC- The room is 30 foot wide, by 50 feet long. This former entryway and rest area features several benches. Some older furnishings have either deteriorated with age or have otherwise been damaged.
Rhys (Bob W) AC 18; CMD 17 (19 vs Disarm & Sunder); HP 20/20 Friday November 4th, 2022 10:20:47 AM
Rhys whispers back over his shoulder in elven, hoping that the creatures (kobolds?) sharing the chamber with him do not understand his native tongue ” There are kobolds in here and they speak of a trap. I will move further in. Get Fingers to open the door from a distance in case that is what is trapped”
With his warning given, Rhys moves further into the room, perhaps 25 feet (OOC. I haven’t been able to access the map)
Myre (Carl) -- AC 13/12/11 CMD: 13 HP: 20/20 Spell Slots Remaining: Inf/5 Friday November 4th, 2022 11:51:26 AM
Myre looks down at her hands, wondering if she's been turned into an elf. "Hmm...no, still inky." She shakes her head. Some people see pointy ears and think all elves know each other or something. "I could kick that door for months and not damage it. I'd have to push real hard just to open it...wait, that's a pull door. I guess we're not kicking this one down!"
Xuce actually has a real interesting idea. Just close the door and trap whatever's in there back inside. It won't work since there may be another exit from the place, or the bad thing may have already escaped, or the kobolds may have mining equipment to dig a way out...still some good thinking outside the box, though!
Her magic is not strong enough to move the door, so she lets Rhys be sneaky and lets Fingers handle opening the door. She gets ready to charge in (right behind Kwarsk, of course).

Lowering his voice to a whisper; “Rhys is right, they do speak of a trap. Could anyone safely spring the trap and make them think we got stuck in it? I will ready an Acid Dart for the first one that rounds the corner… Unless we think they can be reasoned with?”

Zarsellet backs up to let those that know something about traps get closer. "The kobolds inside say they're waiting for us to set off the trap. It's probably right inside. Might even be something attached to the door? Pulling it open might be the trigger."
OOC: Knowledge-Local 22 to know about kobolds?

Fingers, standing at I10:J11 where he hopes he can't be seen through the door, looks very carefully for traps. If no one rushes him, he'll Take 20 for a result of 26. (If this situation doesn't qualify for Take 20, he'll Take 10 for 16. If he can't do that, use the roll I will do now: 12.)
If he sees nothing, he'll say that trap is either magical in nature or inside the door where he can't see it.

(OOC - if Fingers is at I10:J11, that's inside the room - Kwarsk would appreciate some clarification on this as by posts, only Rhys had (stealthily) entered the room at all.)
Somewhere at the end of Fingers' examination of the door, Kwarsk catches Fingers' eyes and makes a few simple gestures - Kwarsk sets his body in a runner's stance aimed at shoving the door fully open, then points his index finger at his chest, then points it at the door, then shows Fingers an upraised thumb with a quizzical head-tilted look that is meant to wordlessly imply, "now?"
(OOC - a mere nod or thumb-up from Fingers is enough for Kwarsk to simply barrel through the door.
IF Fingers gives a "go" sign, Kwarsk will, upon entry, make sure to leave 10' (2 squares) behind himself before stopping adjacent to any humanoid creature, of whatever size, saying "Talk before we assume the worst about you and your traps!"
IF Kwarsk has used 20' (4 squares) or less of movement before ending adjacent to a humanoid, Kwarsk is also going to Ready an action to Strike that humanoid with his Waraxe if the humanoids don't make talky-nice with the group (vs. attacking the group).
IF they do make talky-nice, then Kwarsk doesn't attack.
IF the humanoids chose combat with us instead of talky-nice, then Kwarsk's Readied Waraxe swing hits AC 23 (includes Paige's Bless bonus) for 7 damage)

The team begins to check out the room, and finds some kobolds waiting within! They don't appear to be in a talking mood, and take some shots at the party with their slings. They focus on the first through the door. No shots are fired at Xuce, but due to stealth or luck is not known.
Rhys is hit once, for one damage Kwarsk is hit once, for 2 damage
Kwarsk stops at the first kobold he finds, and swings with his mighty axe, taking it out of action.
As the team moves in, you notice several lines of twine strung across the room. Fingers notices one of the lines running right under his feet! Are these part of the trap?

Sword in hand, Rhys makes his way towards the kobold at the end of the room (O3). The elf pays attention to the twine and avoids it, darting across the top of the bench i necessary.

I wanna see. Fingers move your big head!" She smiles at Nintos and gives the door a little kick as she scampers between Fingers. She ducks down behind a bench and follows Nintos' lead, aiming for the little lizard dudes in the back.

Move: Head to M4 Standard: Minute Meteor at O2 (unless Nintos killed it, then she does nothing since the others aren't in range). 2 damage, reflex DC 15 to negate.
Kwarsk (Wayne) AC 21/T 12/FF 19, HP 24/24, CMD 15/19 vs. Bull Rush & Trip. Monday November 7th, 2022 4:40:18 PM
Kwarsk raises his Tower Shield and says, "Nice shot Nintos, I'll get the farthest one!"
With that, Kwarsk moves South towards K11, passing adjacent to O2 (who probably was just shot dead, and having used a sling, probably can't take an attack as I pass) but diverting slightly at the end (finishing not in K11)) and stepping up on top of the bench, adjacent to the kobold (O4)! (Ending movement in L11!)
(OOC - Kwarsk has double-moved, Waraxe still in hand, and now threatens O4 and many nearby squares - if O4 moves more than 1 square, Kwarsk gets an AoO, and if O4 keeps on moving, Kwarsk has Combat Reflexes (3 AoOs/round) and will keep striking at O4 with each new square beyond the first that O4 moves. If O4 melees, that's fine too...)

Xuce parkours south using the benches and walls to J10 (acrobatics 21, to avoid any traps) now flanking with Rhys (if he didn't drop the kobold O3). Looking over his shoulder with a smile at Kwarsk and his kobold "Should we maybe keep one alive to talk to?"

If Paige can squeeze pass the big Minotaur standing in the doorway, she will slip into the room (I3 if it is free) taking care not to touch any of the bits of twine strung about the room. She looks up at the ceiling and around the walls (Perception 7) but is distracted by her companions engaged in fighting the small dragon-like creatures.

Rhys moves with agility across the room and attacks the next kobold, taking it down.
Nintos moves in, and tosses a bolt of acid at the next kobold. The creature never knew what hit him.
Myre moves in, ready to launch her own magic, but she currently does not have a target in range.
Kwarsk forges ahead, and positions himself to threaten the remaining kobold, who suddenly seems to be having a bad day.
Xuce improves his position, bypassing much of the floor along the way. He suggests a prisoner may be useful.
Zarsellet comments on the likely disposition of the kobold.
Fingers checks for the hinted at trap. He notices something interesting as the team moves into the room. The twine, some lines highly visible and others practically invisible all seem to be connected. Of course, with all the movement, a few of the crossbows have already been set off, but Fingers is sure he can disarm the rest. (DC 18 will disable the rest of the trap.)
Paige moves into the room and looks around at the trap but is distracted by the fighting.
The crossbows: Two have been set off by movement so far. Kwarsk and Rhys are both hit by bolts, taking 4 damage each.
The kobold does not appear to be in a mood to surrender, or maybe he is still more afraid of something else to dare disobey. He drops the sling, readies his spear and tries to stab Kwarsk with it. The effort is good, but the attack is deflected by Kwarsk's tough armor.
Rhys (Bob W) AC 18; CMD 17 (19 vs Disarm & Sunder); HP 20/20 d20+6=8 ; Tuesday November 8th, 2022 9:07:34 AM
Rhys drops his sword on the bench in front of him and with a practiced fluidity unshoulders his bow, fits an arrow to the string and let’s it fly towards the kobold currently confronting Kwarsk. The arrow skitters off the bench at Kwarsk’s feet and into the wall behind the kobold (Hit AC 8). The elf sheepishly shrugs his shoulders in apology and examines his bow hoping to find some defect that might explain his poor aim other than his own ineptitude.

Nintos moves up behind the next table [L3 to L7] and with a mutter of an arcane phrase, he cast a cantrip Acid Splash. It might be that Nintos was trying to fire between Kwarsk and the table, but the orb of acid misses and hits the bench. “Drat!” Nintos spits as his spell misses. [Range Touch Attack: 5]

Paige sees that some of her companions have taken wounds, and there is one troublesome creature keeping the party from the next door. She moves forward along the corridor (H) created by the benches as far as she can get without getting in the way of [/b]Zarsellett[/b] and will climb up onto a bench to further her progress towards the far end of the room (making sure she doesn’t step on Rhys’ sword!)

Kwarsk, having heard Xuce say that having a prisoner might be useful, hopes that Xuce was using his Monk training to choose to do nonlethal (i.e. subdual) damage to the kobold.
Kwarsk decides to ensure there's a prisoner to question, and says in Common, "Alright Kobold, if you want to live even though you trapped this room, take a nap, NOW!"
With that, Kwarsk drops an elbow smash on the kobold's noggin, or tries to, hitting at a very wrong angle and whiffs completely.
(OOC - I declare Kwarsk elected Nonlethal damage with this attack, as Kwarsk is a Monk in addition to a Fighter. +3 normally, plus Bless = +4 to hit; Monks may also use any body part for their improved unarmed strike and need not drop any weapon or shield in hand.)

Rhys tries to hit the kobold with his bow, but the shot flies wide.

Paige moves up and looks around for any other possible danger.
Fingers tries to disable the trap, but cuts the wrong line. (also, take 10 cannot be used during combat)

Kwarsk attempts to knock out the kobold, but he is unable to connect.
............................. (wow tough kobold)
All the moving around has set off a few more traps. This time, Paige has two bolts launched at her, one of them hits for 4 damage, and the other just missed her head!
Fingers can tell by the pull of some of the strings, there may still be some remaining crossbow traps.
The kobold seems unwilling to surrender. This our place! We found! You leave now! The kobold then stabs at Kwarsk with his spear but missed.

Seeing that his companions… his friends. Are these friends? I haven’t found much companionship outside of my books these past few years… Nintos thinks to himself.
Seeing that his friends have this final Kobold covered, Nintos readies an Acid Dart for any enemy that comes/goes through those doors at the back of the cave.

[OOC: I *know* Take 10 can't be used during combat - that was my point! I really wanted to yell Will you people shut up! and the room would go silent as everyone froze in fear - even the kobolds - and Fingers would Take 10 and disable the trap.

Zarsellet watches and wonders at the sense of trying to capture the obviously uncooperative lizard-folk. He considers moving in and joining the fight, but really isn't trained in non-lethal combat.
Also noticing the traps going off he decides just to stand still and observe.

Standing there all alone after watching your lifelong friends die in seconds." She holds Waddles up to eye level and stares silently before she continues speaking. "Hmm...ok, point taken. I suppose you can imagine it after all." Another pause before she gives Waddles a sour look. "No need to rub it in. They'd both been adventuring a lot longer than I have." Her and Waddles turn to look at the rest of the party descending on the last kobold, feeling it would truly be a "too many cooks" situation should she decide to wade in.
Besides, Fingers told everyone to stop moving.

That was yesterday's post that I didn't hit Submit on...
"Why is that kobold still up?" Myre asks out of surprise more than judgement, since it IS pretty surprising. She still doesn't want to mess around with these traps, so she stays put, trusting her friends have this covered.
DM Brian Z- entrance to the cave Thursday November 10th, 2022 9:23:25 AM
Nintos keeps an eye on the door to the next room, just in case.
Paige is wounded, but heals Rhys before herself.
Zarsellet notices the traps that Fingers has already identified. Pointing out some lines that Fingers couldn't see from his position, gives the nimble minotaur a bonus to disarm the rest of the trap. (Fingers gets +4 on the next disarm roll)
With the reduced movement, no further traps are set off this time.
A few more attacks are sent the kobolds' way, and Kwarsk manages to connect with his elbow to the creatures face, knocking it out.

Now, let me check out that door. I'm sure the kobolds never had the chance to trap it, and I doubt they checked to see if the original builders trapped it.

Rhys remains where he is, waiting for Fingers to find and disable the last of the trip wires and crossbows. While he waits he gratefully accepts the healing provided by Paige. ”Thanks Paige, those damn things hurt!” He examines the wound as it begins to close over with growing relief. ”No infection…you never know where these kobolds keep things before they use them.

As the kobold falls, Kwarsk slowly allows a tiny smile to creep across his face. Then Kwarsk immediately pulls off his pack, takes out some rope, and Ties Up the kobold. Kwarsk then says to the group, "He'll wake up soon enough and then we can question him. What language do kobolds speak, and can anyone here speak it? In the meantime let's take a minute or two to secure the room. I'm going to stare at the next set of doors and the stone around it for a moment." (Kwarsk moves to K12 for this.)
(OOC - Core Rules, Combat, Grapple, there's a subentry for "Tie Up". Kwarsk completes this task while the Bless is still running - +1 would add to a Grapple (CMB) attempt, so here the Rope DC to escape is 20 + 2 (Kwarsk's regular CMB) +1 Bless = DC 23 for the kobold to escape, if he tries.
Staring at the new doors and the stone around them - Kwarsk is looking for traps, as anyone can do for nonmagical traps. Perception is +10, with another +2 if the DM deems that a trap or secret door is hidden within "unusual stonework" (Stonecunning), and if Stonecunning applies, Kwarsk is automatically granted a perception check to notice such things within 10 feet, without taking an action.
Perception = 27, but 29 if Stonecunning applies.)

Seeing that the creature is currently in subdued, Nintos takes a less defensive stance and starts taking in what all around in this chamber of the cave. Looking at any trinkets that might be on the tables. “I have heard that kobolds are natural tinkerers and love to toy around with what I would have always assumed remedial traps. But in application these their traps worked.” Nintos sounds slightly shocked; “it didn’t prevent the inevitable, but functionally worked.”
Looking around Kwarsk to the Kobold he is tying up; “It is a shame the thing didn’t surrender.”
Turning to the next door, Nintos studies it and cast Detect Magic on the door. [Detect Magic + Spellcraft: 28 (hopefully that one doesn’t go to waste)]

Xuce goes around to the dead kobolds and see's what they have on them (Perception 12, to find anything hidden) putting everything into a pile on one of the benches for the group to go over. "I'm not sure what they speak, but I think I remember this one he points to the sleeping kobold "speaking common."

Once the traps are cleared Zarsellet moves over to the Kobold. Odd that the thing was able to avoid so many attacks.
"I think they normally speak Draconic. I can speak it and I'm sure a couple others can. Nintos? It's not rare for casters to learn it...." Hearing Xuce's comment he adds, "I wasn't listening closely, but yeah I think he did speak common. Twist his arm a bit and he'll probably speak any language that he can!"

Paige moves carefully about the room after Fingers disables the twine that triggered the traps throughout the chamber. She checks on her companions, using the healing wand on Kwarsk (4+2=6 HP restored)* before turning it on herself (4+2=6 HP restored.) the cleric examines the wound inflicted on Xuce and asks the monk if it is causing him much distress, promising to keep an eye on on him should his health take a turn for the worse.

Myre watches her friends get to work, each doing what they do best. Paige heals, Fingers disarms, Nintos magics. "What do I do best?" She asks herself. "I'm pretty good at scaring people," she says aloud, then nods in satisfaction. It's important to be useful! When that kobold wakes up, she'll have words with it.
Until then, she gives the room a once over, including the corpses (perception: 21).
DM Brian Z- entrance to the cave Friday November 11th, 2022 3:57:17 PM
Fingers disarms the remainder of the trap.
Rhys is thankful for the healing and hopes the wound is not infected.
Kwarsk ties up the kobold. Everyone can recall that kobolds mostly speak draconic, but some do speak common as well. Kwarsk checks the door to the next room and discovers some writing on the door in both elven and dwarven. The words translate to 'refreshment' in both languages.
Nintos recalls kobolds like to make traps. Some of them are rather clever and are pretty good at it.
Xuce searches the room. He finds 4 usable crossbows, not in great shape, but good enough to get half price for them. He also finds a stash of blue quartz crystals(worth 500gp). It looks like the kobolds did some light mining, chipping away at the crystals when they got bored with guard duty.
Zarsellet is ready to begin questioning the kobold.
Paige checks on the group's health, making sure everyone is recovering from the wounds.
Myre also checks the room, while being assured that she is useful. The kobolds do not have anything of real value aside from the stash of gems Xuce found.
The kobold is beginning to stir.......

When Nintos is able to tell anything about the door and it doesn’t detect magical, he turns his attention to the group and to Zarsellet who is trying to ask questions of the kobold. Nintos listens for any lies or deceit the dragon ken decides to tell. [Sense Motive: 22]

Paige isn’t particularly interested in the kobold, and stands next to Nintos and watches as he investigates the door. When the wizard turns his attention to the party’s small captive, the cleric will reach out towards the door with her new mace and give it a push to see if it opens up.

DM Brian Z- entrance to the cave Monday November 14th, 2022 7:54:44 AM
The kobold, now that he has taken in the full gravity of his situation, is suddenly much more cooperative. He speaks passable common, but will give better answers in draconic. My name is Meeko. Can I go now? He looks at the outer door, not the inner one.
Xuce can determine that the outer door could be propped open. If Nintos looks, he will see that the magic that was on that door has nearly dissipated.
Muuru is able to determine that the door to the next room is not trapped. It is also not locked, just closed.

Nintos Melinous (Clint) | HP 16/16 | AC:12 T:12 FF:10 | CMD:13 CMB:1 | Fort:2 Ref:2 Will:4 | Merletta (Familiar) HP 4/4 | AC:15 T:14 FF:13 | CMB:0 CMD:6 | Fort:1 Ref:4 Will:2 d20+3=16 ; d20+8=21 ; d20+2=12 ; Monday November 14th, 2022 11:40:34 AM
Seeing that there is good coverage on the kobold, Nintos turns his attention to Paige and her opening the door. He readies an Acid Dart at what might come through.
“Merletta, fly close to the ceiling and see what you can see.” Merletta will fly in, do a u-turn, and come back out. Max distance in 15 feet so she can get back out in the same round.
Myre (Carl) -- AC 13/12/11 CMD: 13 HP: 20/20 Spell Slots Remaining: Inf/5 Monday November 14th, 2022 2:58:59 PM Myre nods approvingly at Rhys. "Good use of intimidating body language, appropriate tone, just enough unsaid threats to let the kobold's imagination do the rest..." Yes, Myre is glad Rhys is doing well, since she doesn't speak a lick of draconic.
Her little face suddenly appears next to Paige's. "You're gonna have to use more force than that if you're going to break it down, love." She nods sagely at her own advice.
Zarsellet Fahring (Randy) AC 16, CMD 11, HP 22 | Fort: +3, Ref: +5, Will: +3 d20+8=28 ; Monday November 14th, 2022 6:20:30 PM
OOC: Diplomacy 28. Good cop bad cop?
Zarsellet waits while Rhys tries to scare the kobold. He feels certain that the creature would answer any question that he could after Rhys's words. "Rhys is telling it like it is. We don't want to have to kill you. None of us actually likes killing. We want to be your friend, but we need to know what you know of this place. Work with us so we can release you and you can live free."
Xuce (Chris) AC: 17, T: 17, F: 13, CMD: 16, HP: 16/17 d20+12=13 ; Monday November 14th, 2022 7:02:27 PM
Xuce stands off to the side of the now-open door, out of view from anyone on the other side (stealth 13).
Kwarsk (Wayne) AC 21/T 12/FF 19, HP 24/24, CMD 15/19 vs. Bull Rush & Trip. Monday November 14th, 2022 8:10:19 PM
Confident at his knot-tying abilities, Kwarsk leaves the kobold to Rhys' tender mercies (and knowledge of Draconic) and steps to one side of Paige, Tower Shield up, looking ahead through the door she just opened. Kwarsk, upon seeing whatever is there, says, "Hmm... is that..."
(OOC out of town tomorrow through Sunday; Carl has graciously volunteered to take over Kwarsk's posting during this time, so get ready for... Cwarsc!)
Fingers (Shawn) | AC:14 T:11 FF:12 | HP 22/22 | CMB:3 CMD:16 | Fort:2 Ref:5 Will:0 Monday November 14th, 2022 10:29:25 PM
Muuru positions himself with his crossbow in case something hostile comes through the door.
