Andros, It was very unlike you to charge 10 feet into battle like that and to go down in the 1st round. Since you were unconscious the rest of the battle here is what happened. After interrogating the prisoner with little success, we left the 1st door alone and looked at another hallway and door a few feet down the way. When we opened the door we saw a scout hide behind a wall and alert his comrades. We moved up we saw another set of doors with 2 hobgoblins standing there. You with your quick speed moved 10 feet to dispatch of them and shut the doors to keep the massive amount of guards from coming through them. Unfortunately they both had readied actions and smacked the holy living crap out of you. Then before you could act you were surrounded on all sides by multiple enemies. With all their attacks and the spell from the evil Hobgoblin Priest you went down before you could even react. We then came to get you, but I took 2 monstrous hits from the Priest's lightning staff and it felled me. (only after I dispatched of several of the vermin) The other two fought valiantly , but when we thought it was all over another batch of Brut's came through another door. As I was seeing Bahumat's light grow ever so brightly at the end of the tunnel, a stranger approached and healed me along with the other in the group. Gathkin the dwarven cleric of Pelor had followed us down and joined us for the last battle. With his help and some amazing hits from Acris my sword we downed the remaining creatures. We have captured one for questioning and we have opened a large set of doors into another room. (DM please post the description of this room if you get time.) We have taken an extended rest and are ready to explore further into this evil area.
I am greatly shamed by my less than impressive performance during this great battle, (especially for giving the DM so little notice,) but sometimes the fates are simply not on one's side. I will endeavor to redeem myself at the earliest opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI will try and post an updated map by this weekend. The room I think you want described is the last one you guys entered?
ReplyDeleteYou enter the room through two massive iron bound double doors and in the 60x80 room beyond there is a 2 story statue of a soldier in full plate holding a large two handed sword. To the left as you enter there are two large statues of dragons apparantly in the process of breathing fire as their necks are stretched out and pointing towards the large soldier (although there is no fire present, at least not yet ;) ) Across the room is a recessed doorway/alcove it is about 20 wide by 30 deep with the door at the end. Standing at the four corners of the alcove are small fat cherubic children with wicked looking short swords being held high with point down (almost like they are stabbing into the ground). The door beyond is stone with brass banding.
Lets send in the scouts to look around the room for traps. If Rodney is not there then Andros is the scout. :) I'll stand directly at the door with a delayed action to charge in if a trap goes off.
