7 Is it a Dragon we can hear breathing? No its a still about to blow!!


Now the Goblins have also set off the warning trap, "more approaching!" cries Tay Vorn, sword emerging from sheath as he heads to the door.

He charges with a scream the first of three Goblin, with a fourth further behind, hitting and killing the surprised Goblin immediately, he drop a flask they have each which smashes to the floor, Tay Vorn breathes in deeply the odd odour, but making his fortitude saving throw thinks its just a smell the Goblins let off when scared!!

The other two closest Goblins try to turn in terror, but they are affected by the gas.....out cold!! Tay Vorn readies himself for the fourth, but she reveals herself as Moreta, phew!!

Moreta and Tay Vorn head back up the chimney and sneakily take out three Gobbo's, meanwhile Sidion, Talum and Na'zel go follow the flaming sphere as it cleanses the passage way leading to the trap door and they emerge up the hole and meet up with Moreta and Tay inside a large cave, full of giant bats, now disturbed and flying around from the noises of our battle and the flaming sphere before it dissipate.

The bats are now panicking and attack everyone.

Initially the whole party tried to defend against these winged beasts, but it quickly became apparent
they would not attack us if we hide and they would leave the cave via the large mouth..but Moreta and Tay Vorn decided to compete a little for best attacking style, which Moreta took with ease.

Moving out from the mouth of the cave, a platform of wood across a rope bridge, Sidion is shot at from range a total of eight times, he quickly returns to cover.

Tay Vorn sensing a moment of bravery stupidity picks up a body f one of the goblins, sword sheathed and shield slung he holds the body ahead of him and charges forward to the nearest cover, some thirty feet forwards across the wooden bridges towards the goblin archers.

Tay Vorns charge ends with two gobbo's pushed over the edge of the distant platform the rest now in close combat with this dark brooding fighter, but with bows, unfortunately Tay Vorn cannot draw his sword this turn either!!

The Goblins go next...drawing daggers and swords they attempt to hit Tay Vorn who suffers minimal damage, Sidion not to be outdone runs across himself, weapons drawn though and takes on half the Goblins.

A human figure from another distant platform, cast a spell of magical darkness around the other party members.

Na'zel within the darkness converses with this hooded figure, a magic user of some sort, but certainly undead, who has been controlling these Goblins to do his bidding, but to Na'zels credit he rebukes the figure and manages to cast Command Undead against him, sending him packing, for now.

Gith'Orl and Moreta managed to move up within this darkness along the bridge and out to be able to draw fire and sword on the Goblins rounding on Sidion and Tay Vorn.

Talum retches a “vomit of spiders” into the melee, thousands of the tiny things eager to bite anyone not distinguishing between friend or foe head towards the melee.

Sidion learns the fiery hand ability producing a bright flame and takes one gobbo out with it, just as the spiders attack causing lots of damage on both sides, but certainly aiding the party more than hindering.

We think the spiders have been summoned by the cloaked person, as they cause lots of damage.

The fight ends with Tay Vorn playing with one remaining goblin as the rest flee and our party unable to hit.

We see and hear sounds of a creature, appears to be as still, asleep perhaps in a dark alcove which is producing lots of heat, Tay Vorn notches an arrow but someone else realises its just a copper still and is about to blow up, saving it Tay Vorn rescues some of the potent alcohol.

Beyond the still there is a tunnel leading up and Moreta heads up, but sets off a fire trap taking quite some damage, Tay Vorn now leads, but he too almost suffers, he spots a trap on some metal barred grate that would have sliced down taking anything with them including his arms.

Through the grate, opened by Sidion using Gith'Orl's trusty crowbar, are some barely conscious villages, kidnapped from the surrounding areas, something mentioned to us when we first arrived in this region.

This is the vampires feeding area, they villagers are alive but very weak we heel 6 or 12 of the poor wretches and eventually decide to leave the Vampire for now and escort these people back to Wildgate.
