Meeko answers happily, hoping to prove his worth. Oh there is water there, makes kobolds strong. Much drinking we do there. After that, Meeko doesn't know. Master said to wait here and guard.
Merletta does a quick scout of the room, and the team is ready for a possible attack.
The lighting in this room is less than the previous, but still enough to get by. (low light vision needed to see normally, otherwise large number of shadows)The room contains a statue of an elven princess. The woman depicted in the statue appears to be weeping. And true to Meeko's word, underneath and around the statue is an elaborate fountain. Clear, clean water arcs out a number of nozzles and pouring into the basin around it.

Rhys pulls out his dagger and begins cleaning beneath his finger nails, making sure Meeko can see his every move. ”you know, I’m starting to like you Meeko. So the water makes you strong, and your friends, the other kobolds, they have been into the next chamber after that?”. Rhys continues his questioning. (Intimidate 10 to continue his threat from last round)

Myre kneels down on the edge of the basin, looking into the water at her rippling reflection. Waddles joins her, resting on the ledge along with her. She stares into the pig's eyes in their reflection.
"Are you sure? That kobold says it will make you stronger!" ... "You're made of rubber! You're not going to melt in a little water!" ... "Fine, but you're probably missing out." She puts the pig back in its pocket on her pack. She studies the elven woman in the statue, trying to figure out if she's someone important.

Kwarsk is first into the room, tower shield at the ready. He scans the chamber for any other entrances, determined to put his shield between them and his companions. His stout, dwarfy eyes check the stonework of this place for...buttons, or whatever it is people do with stone.

Master? Magic water? The kobold just got very interesting.
Rhys! Tell him we'll pay him to lead us to his master, but only if there's no fighting when we meet. Muuru edges over to the fountain, peers in, and racks his brain -- what does he know about this type of thing? (Knowledge: Arcana: ).

Before entering the room with the fountain, Paige calls out to those questioning the kobold ”Find out who this ‘master’ is, and if he’s further down along the tunnel, or did he go out - and when he’s expected back!” Thanks to her elven mother, Paige can see quite well in the semi dark. She peers at the sculpture, wondering if it is the representation of some deity (Knowledge Religion =5) Not particularly interested in kobold ‘refreshment’, Paige scans the room for further openings/doors.

Unable to fully see in the darkness, Nintos touches the end of his quarterstaff and says an arcane word; “mitne sari wer whedabra” and the end lights up with a Light spell.
Not normally one to walk into a room before those with the big weapons go in, but the human is on the heels of his dwarven friend Kwarsk. He is amazed by this fountain system and begins to study it. [Knowledge 17 for all or 18 if Arcane or Dungeoneering]
DM Brian Z- The Fountain Wednesday November 16th, 2022 7:40:19 AM
Meeko nods in agreement to Rhys and Zarsellet's questions. Yup the others went past the fountain, but not us guards. Meeko puffs up in pride. We stayed out here and guarded the door so no one gets in. And dug out a few shinies when we got bored
Xuce would like some more light. The effect doesn't last long, but it can be reactivated as needed.
Myre inspects the fountain. If this statue was someone important, it is perhaps forgotten with the passage of time.
Fingers inspects the water, but will need to detect magic first to identify any auras. The fountain itself is not known to books of arcane knowledge.
Paige is not reminded of any particular deity while looking at the statue. Still she does have a funny feeling about it.
Nintos makes sure the room is well lit, and also looks at the fountain. No new information is revealed.
Nintos, Paige, Fingers, and Myre: As you look into the water of the fountain, you see a horrid, rotting reflection that slowly turns to murder the others in the room. Will save DC11 to resist the effect! On a failed save, you are affected by an extreme desire to flee from the fountain in fear! (towards the entrance)
OOC- kn arcana identifies the effect after it is set off. Nintos, Fingers and Myre are able to identify the spell as cause fear - but only if they make the save!

Seeing the water, Nintos thinks that it would be nice to wash off a bit. The face and hands are a bit dusty and sweaty from the days travel. As he looks in, he sees an image of himself that he hadn’t seen since his days spent in the bottle. Sunken in eyes and cheeks, but this time there is flesh falling off him. The urge to flee from this is strong, but his iron resolve causes him to stay and investigate what is happening. [Will Save 20]
Cause Fear? he thinks to himself; I wonder if it is the waters itself or if there was some sort of magical trap causing this. Realizing that others might have a similar experience with the urge to run; “Don’t look into the water, there is an arcane spell that has been placed on this. It could cause you to flee from this chamber.”
Rhys (Bob W) AC18; CMD 17(19 vs disarm and sunder); HP20/20 Wednesday November 16th, 2022 10:23:55 AM ”Tell me Meeko, Who is this master of yours? Is the master a kobold or some other being? And is your master still inside the room past the water? We would like to meet the master. Can you lead us through the cave to the master?”. Rhys continues to stand calmly over the trussed kobold, the dagger glinting in the blue light as he works his nails. The elf can’t help but wonder if Meeko can keep track of the barrage of questions coming it’s way.
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, CMD 13, HP 22/22 d20+8=19 ; Wednesday November 16th, 2022 12:19:39 PM
Whilst studying the statue, Paige glances briefly at the water. For a moment the cleric thinks she sees a horrible, rotting reflection. Her first reaction is to clasp the symbol of Domi about her neck and closes het eyes. When she opens them, the vision is gone (Will Save = 19) Hearing Nintos warning the half elf moves to block the passage into and out of the room. “I might have something for that” she calls back, remembering one of the items gifted to the group by Berem before they left.*

She manages to keep her cool (will 15), but holy moly is her heart pounding!
She rounds on the fountain and points an accusing finger at the statue. "Not cool, statue lady!" Seeing her friends saw the same, she wonders how they stayed so calm. She blushes momentarily and gathers herself back together. She regrets not paying attention to her father's spellcrafting lessons all those years. They'd come in handy figuring out how that fountain's trap worked. She'll just have to trust Nintos to figure it out.
She nervously peers over the edge of the fountain again, seeing if the monster is gone now. She was letting her curiosity talk her into drinking it a moment ago, but there's no way she's drinking rotten monster water. No sir...

Cwarsc spins around when his friends are affected by the spell, ready to leap to their defense. He breathes easier once he learns it is merely a trick. He frowns before opining, "a cheap, cowardly tactic. I'd hoped we were fighting a foe with honor, even if it was flawed honor. It appears not."
He goes to stand closer to the door leading past the chamber, still keeping his eyes out for stonework traps or mechanisms. He keeps a keen eye on the doorway, trusting in his skill and equipment to keep him safe.

You said the fountain made you all strong but now we find that it is magically trapped? What other lies have you told us? If we find out more that you didn't tell us I'll be slicing your throat open instead of cutting the rope binding you!"
Muuru sees the image in the water, swings around to shoot the minotaur whose reflection he'd seen -- then realizes that it was just an illusion. Boy, that thing almost had you all fooled, huh?
DM Brian Z- The Fountain Thursday November 17th, 2022 7:52:37 AM
Nintos identifies the spell, and gives warning to the team.
Meeko looks confused for a moment as Rhys questions him. Then he answeres. Oh, you mean the King. Yes, he went past the fountain. I went outside to guard. Guards were told not to go in there.
Paige shakes off the effects of the spell, and readies a scroll, just in case.
Myre scolds the statue. It might be her imagination, or maybe the statue winked at her as she does so. Myre wonders if it is safe to drink.
Kwarsk stands ready for action. He does not notice anything unusual about the stonework of the fountain.
Xuce looks around a bit. He can confirm there is another door on the other side of the room.
Zarsellet scolds the kobold and he looks to be a bit afraid. Meeko shrugs. It's ok when we drink it. Though it did taste a little funny yesterday.
Muuru shrugs off the magic.
The team can either investigate the door, or the fountain. (or come up with a plan :)

Seeing that everyone is okay from the effects of the spell, Nintos turns his attention back to the pool. “Evnek wer Arcanik irsa.” He mutters as he cast Detect Magic.
Nintos studies the fountain for its magical components. He knows that there is an active spell of Cause Fear, but he wants to discover if there is more to it than that. Are there any clues, finger prints within the magic, that could lead them to who set this magical trap. [Spellcraft: 12 | Arcana: 14]

Paige is glad she doesn’t have to use the scroll. She calls over her shoulder to Rhys and anybody else remaining in the first room: ”Xuce has found another door. Are you coming? Oh! There’s a magicked fountain in here. DON’T look at the water, and I’d suggest not drinking it either!” Paige moves across the room to stand behind the halfling and studies the door for markings.

Rhys re-sheaths his dagger and once again addresses the captured kobold. “Tell me more about the King Meeko and I shall set you free. Is the King a kobold or some other race? Does your King have special powers? How many of his personal guards did he take into the next cavern with him? Tell me what you know and you may go free, your life intact, never to return here.”.

Zarsellet shakes his head in disgust at the kobold, then just turns and walks away.
He hears Paige's warning and stays away from the water on his way over to her. He casts his Dancing Lights spell again and directs it to float ahead of him. "The prisoner is stupid and useless. Where do you want the lights?"

And you... he points at Rhys. Those are the choices you give him? Die or run off? Didn't you hear me when I said he could help us avoid the boss fight?
Muuru strides over to the kobold and kneels down. All right, Meeko, don't worry about this guy. What can you tell us?
And can you help us meet the King?
DM Brian Z- The Fountain Friday November 18th, 2022 8:41:06 AM
Nintos can tell there is a trap on the fountain, but he lacks the knowledge of disarming it. However the auras revealed show there is more than just the trap. Something else is here, hidden by the energy of the fear spell.
OOC- those who made the save are immune to the effects of the trap.
Paige finds some writing on the door in elven and dwarven. It translates to 'place of learning'
Xuce is ready for action
Zarsellet continues lighting the way.
Myre looks over Nintos' shoulder. Maybe he is on to something? And did the statue wink at her again?
Kwarsk is ready for action. There is no activity from the door.
Fingers and Rhys question Meeko some more. Between their comments and other comments in the room, the kobold is confused again. But he answers as best he can. Oh, our King is a kobold. He is magicky. And smart too. He figured out how to open the door. Said it was important. Hmm he took some guards in, and the captain! Meeko smiles that he was able to remember all this important stuff. The King told him to get better at remembering. Oh no, I can't Shaking his head at Muuru. He said he had some important King stuff to do, and if we interrupted we would get hurt bad. Nope, I can't go in.

With a sigh of frustration; “Why can’t I get this? What am I missing?” Nintos is used to figuring things out that he studies and starts to get frustrated, missing even the simplest clues.
He begins to look around the base of the fountain, the statue, the walls all while mumbling to himself.

Rhys bites his tongue as the brazen taur barges in and interrupts his interrogation of Meeko. Perhaps this is just the way of taurs, to bellow and charge at all they disagree with he thinks to himself as he gathers his gear and prepares to follow the rest of the group into the room with the fountain. ”Thanks for the help Meeko, Fingers here will see you right”.
Rhys enters the fountain room and feels the cold sweat of fear crawl towards him as he glances at the fountain. The elf forces himself to stand firm and soon the feeling passes (Will Save 17).

"Stop winking at me, statue! We're not friends!" The little half-drow stares daggers at the statue and keeps her accusatory finger pointed at it.

Cwarsc, realizing how intelligent and insightful Myre obviously is, walks over to the statue she's pointing at. Stowing his weapon, he takes his tower shield, holds it parallel with the ground*, and pushes it against the statue. Not enough to break it, but enough to test that it's securely attached to the fountain (if it is there at all).
Perception is 30 to detect anything fishy. It's 32 if it's stone-related.

DM Brian Z- The Fountain Monday November 21st, 2022 9:51:46 AM
Nintos continues to examine the statue. The water detects as magical, as does the known trap. The statue seems to have some religious significance, but it is not yet known what that is. (knowledge religion check please)
Rhys moves past the fountain, and with the knowledge of what will happen, is able to fight off the effects.
Myre accuses the statue of funny business, no no further movement is detected.
Kwarsk checks the statue. It is solid, and the fountain and statue are all carved from one piece of marble. It does not move or animate.
Meeko wonders what all the ongoing fuss is about regarding the fountain. He walks over, shudders for a moment when he looks in. He cups some water and drinks it. Hmm. It tastes kinda funny now. It didn't taste like that before.
Paige opens the door, finding it unlocked. Zarsellet sends in some lights, and the two of them, plus Xuce and Muuru take a look inside.
This room is darker still, as dim light. Only the dancing lights provide illumination. This room is a library. There are a number of bookshelves, and many of them are still filled with books. The room has several comfortable looking benches, carved from darkwood.
Xuce notices some movement, and with the aid of the light, sees a kobold. The creature has a book in its hand and looks poised to throw it as a makeshift weapon.

Myre glares at the statue as she walks away. She points two fingers at her eyes, then back at the statue, indicating she's keeper her eyes on it. She makes for the newly found library, trying to look like she's not hurrying.
She goes to warn the kobold to chill out, but she hasn't learned draconic in the past few minutes. She puts her hands out, trying to show she means no harm to the kobold, then slowly lowers them. She hopes he does the same. It feels wrong to just attack it. Realistically it poses no serious threat to the eight of them.

The elf is astounded that the kobold who earlier refused to surrender is now at their side, and just who is expected to watch over him??
When Meeko comments on the taste of the water, Rhys watches carefully to see what effect if any it has on the kobold. (Perception 18)

Nitnos studies it for a moment longer. Thinking to himself; my faith has never been strong, what if this is tied to a deity? [K-Religion Check: 26]
His attention is quickly drawn as Paige hollers for some light. Picking up a rock or a pebble on the floor, or even a copper in his pocket if a stone isn’t handy; “Mitne sari wer whedabra” and with a flash of light, the rock/coin lights up. Nintos flicks it into the chamber past those standing before the door as he moves forward. (Moves from L21 to K20)

Kwarsk considers the religious significance of the statue, thinking perhaps he can recall something useful since Dwarven writing has been on the doors.
(OOC: Knowledge - Religion - 22)
Kwarsk then picks up the bound Meeko like a small log, sideways, and walks Meeko over to the open door leading into the library. When Meeko slurps some water, Kwarsk merely says in Common, "Thirsty, huh?"
Kwarsk looks inside the library (OOC - Darkvision 60') and sees the many bookshelves and the kobold holding a book as if to throw it.
Kwarsk looks at Meeko, still bound and carried sideways like a log by Kwarsk, and shifts to hold Meeko upright, and says in Common, "Meeko, I think you should tell your friend over there to sit down and talk with us." Kwarsk winks at Meeko, showing Meeko Kwarsk's face held hard like granite, a very Dwarven hint to obey Kwarsk.

Muuru is eager to get a look at the books in this place, but he doesn't want to disturb the current -- negotiations. Can he see any of the tomes from where he's standing?
DM Brian Z- The Library d20+3=5 ; d20+3=15 ; Tuesday November 22nd, 2022 8:44:06 AM
Paige casts a spell on Xuce, and wonders who was guarding the kobold.
Myre keeps an eye on the statue, just in case. Then tries a bit of diplomacy
Rhys wonders how Meeko got free. He watches as Meeko drinks the water. Aside from his reaction to the taste, there does not appear to be any other effect.
Nintos casts a light spell on a coin and tosses it into the room, providing even more light. There are a few squeals of displeasure from the room, apparently the kobold with the book is not alone.
Zarsellet adjusts his own light source, providing light source where needed.
Kwarsk considers the dwarven writing on the statue. Then has Meeko join in the diplomacy. Ok, but I don't think they will.
Xuce moves into the room and spots another kobold.
Fingers takes a quick look, and can tell there are still many tomes on the shelves.
Meeko(still mostly tied up!) yells for the others to surrender in draconic. In response, several books are hurtled towards the door. One of the kobolds taunts you to read it if you want to be saved.
A few sling bullets are shot at Xuce, but none connect. There is more movement in the back of the room.
On the Fountain, Kwarsk was able to make out some inscriptions that speak of miraculous healing properties. If this is true then the fountain has been corrupted. Since Meeko spoke well of the Fountain previously, then possibly the kobolds corrupted it? Nintos has deduced that some of the same type of magic that the Fountain provides, may be needed to restore it.

You may want to truss that one up!” he points at the unconscious Kobold at the taur’s feet.

Give them a stern talking to and send them on their way?" She scratches her head, genuinely curious. "Is it...ethical to make them walk ahead of us and trigger any traps? That doesn't SEEM ethical, but I'm not an ethicsologist..." She thinks for another moment. "Ethicothary? Ethicstician? Those exist, right?" She goes quiet when she remembers that the word "philosopher" exists.
Anyway, there's lots of books in here and she wants to check them out. Maybe there's one about adventuring ethics! Unfortunately, she's so set on looking for the subject that she develops tunnel vision (perception: 12).

With the huff and puff of combat ending, Kwarsk says, "Well done, Zarsellet and Xuce... perhaps your teaming was twice as much 'Z' as the kobolds could handle?" Kwarsk finishes with a grin.

Fingers notices Kwarsk and Myre perusing the racks. He also remembers one of the kobolds saying "Read it if you want to be saved!". And by "it" he seemed to mean one of the books they used as projectiles.
Fingers examines the books that the kobolds had thrown. He reads all the Tauric languages, and Common. If any are not in a language he knows, he can probably at least identify the language.

End of combat.
Nintos regains his magic coin
Zarsellet and Xuce finish off the last kobold
Paige checks the next door. As with the others it contains some dwarven and elven writing. The writing translates as: resting place
Rhys checks over the kobolds equipment, and disarms the prisoners. But he finds their gear to be poorly made and not of any real value.
Myre wonders about the fate of the prisoners, and looks around for a book with adventuring advice.
Kwarsk congratulates the team on the victory, and begins looking over the books.
Fingers ties up the new prisoners. Then he takes a look at the books the kobolds threw at the team. One of them is in elven and indicates it contains a listing of useful herbs for cooking and medicine. The other title is in common and promises a collection of raunchy poems.
Myre and Kwarsk scan the book titles. Some are in elven or dwarven, and many are in common. The titles indicate a very large variety of topics, some useful, some recreational. A few of the books seem to have deteriorated with age, but a surprising number look to be in useful condition.

Fingers checks the door. It is not trapped, but it is locked.
Myre flips through a book. The title indicated information about astronomy and astrology. She finds a passage about big, giant rocks floating around out in the void. Why would anyone leave rocks there?
Zarsellet checks the cookbook. He glances over some unusual recipes for chicken soup.

Myre's voice trails off as she realizes what book she's grabbed. Waddles settles into the crook of her elbow as they skim the book. "I know, right! What are the chances!" ... "Well I don't know about that. You still had all your baby fat still when dad...well, you know. That was only like...30 years ago. This book looks WAY older than that." ... "Oh. Yea, that's a good point. They probably just moved into an existing space rock when they made you. OK, we'll keep an eye out for it. Probably should put it away for later though. You too, porky." Myre slips the book into her sack and secures Waddles in his place. She looks up, hoping her friends figured out what they're doing next.
Paige Potter (Carla) AC 17, CMD 13, HP 21/22 d20+6=8 ; Wednesday November 30th, 2022 12:35:03 AM ”Fine!” Paige raises both her hands to shoulder height and walks away from the taur by the door.
When Nintos calls to her from the fountain room, she answers back: ”I might be able to sort out that fountain on the way back. With adequate preparation I can purify food and drink - however at the moment it is not possible.”
Paige does a quick assessment of her and her companions injuries, the peruses the room idly (Perception = 8) waiting for Muuru to work on the next door.
DM Brian Z- The Library d6=2 ; d8=2 ; Wednesday November 30th, 2022 8:25:26 AM
Nintos muses on the possible future use of this site.
Rhys checks for a secret door, but doesn't find anything suspicious.
Xuce notices a strange cloud of dust swirling about and rising from the floor. The newly tied up kobolds begin to stir.
Zarsellet sees the dust cloud rise up suddenly in front of him. It briefly takes on the form of a spiritual vestige of a wrathful custodian that waves her hand in front of the reader’s face. Zarsellet is cursed! and will suffer a -2 on all saves for the next hour.
Kwarsk stands guard, and sees the cloud 'attack' Zarsellet. The cloud then swirls about some more, slowly moving around the room.
Myre puts the book away, saving it for later. The cloud swooshes by her, and she briefly sees the wrathful spirit. There is some sort of magical energy, and Myre resists the effect. The could then returns to moving about.
Fingers finds no trap on the door, and is satisfied by the click of unlocking it.
Paige agrees the fountain may be able to be purified. She thinks it will have to wait. (kn religion check plz)
The cloud moves again, and appears before Rhys! (will save)
There is something amiss, and some knowledge of religion may shed some light.....

Moving between the stacks of books, Paige returns to the fountain room, and finds Nintos. ”We need to keep moving, friend. Muuru has unlocked the next door. The longer we stay here, the longer we will be prey to the evil magiks of this place. “
The cleric gives the fountain another perusal, but doesn’t pick up much (Knowlege Religion = 5, nat. 1 *sigh*

Snaping to as Paige calls out for him to get the lead out and move on; “You’re right, better preparation will be needed to deal with the fountain.” Nintos recast Light on his coin as he rejoins the group collecting at the new door.
If while passing Rhys Nintos sees the swirling cloud, he would stop and keep his distance. Shouting for help. Detecting Magic and studying the cloud. [K-Arcana/Dungeon/Spellcraft 12, the rest of K’s would be 11. Not sure what the check would be]

She looks around at the others who seem to be getting the dust's attention. "Is it guarding the books?" She greedily hopes it doesn't do anything like follow the book and haunt her. She really, really wants to keep it. "Probably best to move on! Maybe take a few books to throw at bad guys so they get attacked to?" Her tone suggests it's not a serious consideration.
She falls into line, ready to move on.

DM Brian Z- The Library d6=1 ; Thursday December 1st, 2022 8:59:12 AM
Paige is concerned about lingering too long in the area
Nintos agrees and renews the light spell, the only significant source of light the team has.
Rhys backs away from the could as it again turns into a wrathful spirit! Rhys suffers a -2 to AC for the next hour due to the curse.
Zarsellet ponders the issue, but comes up empty this time.
Kwarsk ponders the issue... and then recalls something he heard once about such places. The affected books must be burned, sprayed with holy water(needs 2), or have channel energy cast on them.
Myre wonders if it is guarding the books. Maybe it is haunting them? The team notices that the wrathful spirit does not seem interested in the books already taken, but seems focused on a few particualr volumes on the floor near the door you entered the room.
Fingers opens the door and turns to see the phantom librarian. As he turns, he notices some movement in the next room...
Xuce offers the wisdom of solving one problem at a time.
The cloud disappears, dropping the dust it was swirling about to the floor. Soon, you see dust swirling about again in a new spot, closer to the door where you entered the room, It seems to be stationary for the moment, hovering about a small pile of books there.
The captured kobolds, now awake, smile and chuckle at the team's distress. Seems like they knew what would happen, perhaps from experience. Meeko remains hiding near the fountain.

Kwarsk calls out to Paige, " Paige, I read something about this at the monastery where I trained. Look at the books the cloud is near (POINTS) - channel your deity's energy at the books and that'll end things. If you can't, then we need two flasks of holy water, or fire, but the books must be cleansed now!"
With that, Kwarsk turns back towards Fingers and the door, watching for any threats, perhaps even ready (OOC: Ready an Action to Attack) to immediately face any monstrous (and tangible) opposition, waraxe in hand.

Assuming Kwarsk shares his information with the group - Paige will dig out 2 vials of Holy Water* and pass one to Nintos. ”You heard the dwarf. We need to get this on the pile of books by the door!.
Since the cleric has to pass through the door from the fountain room to get back to the library, she encounters the dust spirit and takes a swing at it with her new cold iron mace (Hit 19, 3+2 for 5 dmg, cold iron negates damage reduction for demons and fey) before using her teeth to unstopper the vial and dump the water on the pile of books.

"Got to walk before you run," she says quietly just to herself. She looks down at the pig in her hands before continuing, "don't be silly. You're not running anywhere, metaphorically or otherwise."

Rhys backs away from the door and the whirling dust and moves back towards the nearest conscious kobold (K3?). He slides the long curved blade from its resting place across his back and places it beneath the smirking kobold’s chin. ”It is good you find amusement at our expense. Now I will find my own amusement at your expense. What do you know of this creature guarding this place? Be sure of your answer for my patience is already sorely tested” the elf threatens the kobold in its native draconic tongue (Intimidate 9)

Nintos takes the flask from Paige and he tries to protest because of his inability, but everything is moving fast and he decides to throw the flask himself. [To Hit 10 (AC 5 or 10 for a 5-foot square?) DMG 1 sigh smh
Throwing the flask to hit the books, Nintos believes that he could have done better. “You said fire right? Give me a moment and I will burn those books!” realizing what he said; “I pray to the gods that there are other copies of the information within those tomes.”

Zarsellet tucks his new book away and moves over, a little bit, closer to the protected stack of books. "Wait! Can't somebody channel positive energy by the books? Will that get rid of the guardian haunt? without destroying valuable books?"
DM Brian Z- The Library Friday December 2nd, 2022 8:02:02 AM
Kwarsk shares some information about the haunt. He is ready for action in case anything comes from the other room.
Paige swipes at the half-formed mist/librarian, but there is no effect. She hands a vial of holy water to Nintos, and pours another on the books. This does have an effect. The books begin to hiss and steam as a hot object immersed in water would do.
Myre watches. She wonders when it will be her turn to do important stuff.
Rhys backs up and questions the new prisoners. We don't know anything about it, except it attacks any kobolds that try to look for treasure in the books. So we leave them alone now.
Xuce looks into the next room, but it is very dark. Some movement is spotted, but not much else. Hearing, however is different. There is definitely some sort of mumbling noise coming from in there.
Nintos tosses the other holy water at the books. His aim is poor, but he does manage to hit them. With an increased steaming hiss, the books evaporate in a puff of smoke. The spirit coalesces for a moment, is angry, and then content? as it dissolves. It does not reappear.
Zarsellet wonders if the channeling would save the books, but considering the effect of the holy water, the results may have been the same.
The haunt has been cleansed.
There has been movement noted in the next room and also some noise resembling mumbling.

The cleric raises her eyebrows at Nintos’ shenanigans. ”Next time, just take the stopper off, dad! Those books weren’t going to attack!” Paige scratches her head before adding, ”at least I don’t think they were…”
The cleric will round up any stragglers in the library room and make her way towards the door to the “resting place” - but stay far enough to the back and one side in order not to crowd her companions on the door step. She will ask those who faced the ‘guardian’ how they feel, and try to get a sense of what harm they incurred.
(OOC: will Paige know that Myre is unharmed and that Zarsellet and Rhys are affected?)
Myre's eyes bulge and her jaw drops. "WOAH! What kind of wizard burns down a library! It's just a little guardian spirit thing doing its job! Just...move on or something and it probably won't follow. Myre doesn't want to fight with her friends, but will absolutely hurl herself at Nintos to stop him from burning the place down.

When Kwarsk says take a few moments to look for interesting titles Nintos doesn’t take a second moment to begin looking. Nothing in particular, obviously anything magic related he would naturally gravitate towards. But also, he would also pick up anything related to his sons, and by proxy his deity; Serenbeth

The team stands ready, and Fingers opens the door. The coins tossed into the room by Nintos provide the only illumination. Inside, you see a room which has been thoroughly trashed. What once must have been comfortable benches and places to rest, now lies piles of rubble. Smashed to bits, all that remains is part of an elaborate chair, which the kobold king has claimed as his throne.
After the door opens, several events occur. -Kwarsk moves in -someone completes a spell -someone yells in draconicHighlight to display spoiler: { kill the intruders, the treasure will be ours!} -several sling bullets are fired at the team: Rhys(miss), Zarsellet(miss), Kwarsk(miss), Fingers(miss)
The area around the door is the only lit area. The room gets darker the farther you are away from the light coins. This counts as dim light. All attacks have a 20% miss chance in this area.(unless you have low-light or darkvision) Outside the radius of the light coins, the room counts as darkness. (additional penalties unless you have darkvision)
The room contains several areas of difficult terrain. These areas can be moved through, but cost double to move onto, through, or out of. You cannot charge through these areas.
There is a door on the other side of the room.
Effects from anyone cursed by the librarian are still active.

Paige casts bless, and gives the team a boost.
Zarsellet casts a dancing lights spell, increasing the light sources in the room. (I highlighted additional area around K2, the kobold he can see from his location)
Myre moves into the room, and hits a kobold with a color spray. K1 is affected by the spell, and falls unconscious from the effect.
Xuce moves in, and takes a protective position by Myre.
Kwarsk moves tactically, taking a new position, but his expected opponent has already dropped.
Fingers also positions to attack K2. The poor kobold never had a chance.
Nintos moves in and fires an acid dart at K4, but the creature dodged. (touchAC12)
The kobolds act!
K3 moves up and tries to stab Fingers with a spear. miss(AC 5) K4 moves up and tries to hit Kwarsk with a spear. miss! it was a valiant effort, but the kobold is unable to get past the tough dwarf's armor. The kobold Captain moves up to Xuce and takes a swing with his sword. He looks confused as he missed, perhaps expecting a different result. The King is furious at the intrusion.

Listening to the one speaking; “That one is in charge, talking about treasure and not allowing us to succeed.” As the king begins casting a spell, Nintos is familiar with this necromancy spell; “Hold onto your courage Kwarsk, he is trying to Cause Fear.”
Nintos side steps (From N37 to O38) and fires one of his last Acid Darts. [18 Range Touch | DMG 2….]

Rhys steps forward into the now vacant doorway and looses another arrow, this time at the captain of the kobold guard (hit AC14 for 5 HP, -4 for shooting into a melee accounted for). The battlefield, or at least what the elf can see, has grown crowded and few easy targets present themselves.

Understanding the words of the Kobold King he calls out (in draconic) "So King Kobold, What did you fail at that you're so worried we might succeed?" Regardless of any answer he calls out to the others "The King says they failed at something and he's worried that we'll succeed."

She takes a step to her right, then lets loose another blast of rainbow magic past Xuce that hits the captain! "Hopefully he doesn't snore too."
Since her attacks are non-lethal, she keeps them up until combat's officially called off. Still, she IS listening to what her friends are saying.

(OOC - Kwarsk (+5) is a Dwarf vs. Spells (+2) and is Blessed/Inspired (+1) = +8, and rolled a natural 1, also missing the DC of 14; Kwarsk gains the condition frightened which is the same as shaken with the addition of "run far away from the source of the fear" (here, the kobold king))
Kwarsk lets loose a bloodcurdling scream, then turns and moves to D37 and faces the wall so he doesn't have to look at the horrifying visage of the kobold king!
(OOC - Kwarsk can't go to the door we entered because that would put him a little closer to the king. The spell says Kwarsk is otherwise in control of the direction of his flight, so he's in the furthest corner, back to the king, that he can reach without trying to go through the new door on the bottom, which is clearly too scary to try because it might be the king's bedroom and have portraits of him!)

Nintos identifies the spell the King cast, and sends a spell back at the King, hitting him for some acid damage.
Rhys fires an arrow at the Captain, and connects, hitting the kobold on the shoulder.
Paige slips around Rhys(you can move through an occupied allied square) and reminds everyone fo the blessing of Domi.
Xuce is wary of attacks from the Captain, and is better prepared to defend against them.
Zarsellet moves into the room(I placed you on the map) and inspires the team to victory!
Myre adds some colorful lights to the room, spraying the Captain with them. He squints at the bright light, but shakes off the effect.
Fingers switches weapons and knocks the kobold near him out cold.
Kwarsk is affected by the King's magic. He runs to the corner of the room and tries to hide there. The magic begins to fade.(Kwarsk will have normal actions next round)
The kobolds act!
K4 looks at his King, nods, and then bravely steps up to support the Captain. He tries to stab Zarsellet, and connects, hitting the bard with a serious scratch (2 damage)
The Captain tries his luck again against Xuce's improved defenses, and is unable to score a hit!
The King cackles with glee when Kwarsk runs away.

(OOC Kwarsk moves from D37 to J41 with a double-move.)
Kwarsk's heart suddenly slows from its jackhammer pace and he regains his senses. "That kobold... tricked me with his magic!" Kwarsk says to no one in particular, and then re-orients himself and moves at full combat speed, nearing multiple flanking opportunities with the three remaining kobolds, a stern grimace on his face, a fusillade of imaginary warhammers thrown from his eyes towards the kobolds!

With few other options available, Rhys carefully draws aim on the Captain and waits for the split second when a clear path to his intended target opens up. The elf let’s fly with a smooth, easy release and the arrow flies true.

Zarsellet feels the attack of the kobold as he continues his song and realizes that holding a bow in a melee was particularly stupid. "Ouch! You pathetic little lizard!"
He pulls a dagger and slashes. It's interesting to be attacking something the same size as he is....

She guards her movements, not wanting to give the kobold in front of her an opening (casting defensively: 26 = success). Her hands vomit out more rainbows, hitting the kobold and the captain (again!).

Fingers throws a smokestick. the smoke covers the area of the difficult terrain around K1, blocking some of the sight in the room.
Kwarsk recovers from the spell, and moves back in to the fight.
Rhys aims a shot at the Captain, and hits him solidly on the side. The Captain staggers for a moment, but he is still up.
Paige moves up and gives Nintos some magical healing.
Xuce holds on to a defensive stance, with an additional opponent near.
Zarsellet attacks the kobold in front of him with a dagger and scores a hit.(drops bow to have enough actions for this)
Myre is in the thick of it, and does not back out. She casts another rainbow and hits the Captain and kobold with it. They both manage to overcome the effect of the pretty colors. They must be inspired!
Nintos fires off an acid dart and hits the Captain(please declare targets). Then calls for the Captain to surrender. The Captain just growls and promises revenge.
The kobolds act!
K4 attacks Zarsellet, the nearest target his same size! But now that Zarsellet is properly armed, maybe it threw off his aim.
The Captain attacks Xuce again, and manages to find a soft spot in his defense. Xuce takes 6 damage from the wicked cut.

Myre then goes on to prove her own point by failing to pay attention while casting defensively (nat 1 = 7). She reaches deep down, pulling on her reserves to heroically pull it together...and fails again! (14 this time).
She is very happy her dark skin makes it difficult to see how flushed it is.

Kwarsk observes that Zarsellet is armed with a dagger, and carefully steps over debris to achieve a flank on K4.
(OOC from J41-K40, move action costing 10' of Kwarsk's 20' move, achieving flank with Zarsellet on K4)
Kwarsk silently takes advantage of Zarsellet's distraction of the kobold (K4) with an overhead chop, but the kobold was zagging when Kwarsk zigged, and Kwarsk's waraxe strikes only empty air. (Hit AC 10; 5 damage if by some chance K4 has lost AC recently...)
Kwarsk multiplies his grimace, and the angrier Kwarsk gets, the more silent he gets...
