				The town of Coastedge was a small, yet thriving town. Sailors made frequent stops to the town to stock up on food and supplies, and travelers looking for passage on a ship often took the isolated road to Coastedge. The small town was welcoming, and several farms operated just a few hours walk from the town. All in all, it was the ideal coastal town.<br><br>But even the smallest town can have problems. Four travelers approached the town on this morning, and while the townsfolk were certainly friendly, something didn't seem right. The town seemed to be on edge from...something. Perhaps a stop at the friendly inn could yield some clues?

				The aforementioned friendly in was quite large, considering Coastedge's status as a bustling little port town, and tended to see more than it's fair share of seafaring travelers. Of course, with a name like The Lusty Mermaid, that was pretty much a given. Inside the inn's large common room were all sorts of people, from worried barmaids, to uppity pirates, to old drunks . . . and in the middle of it all was a petite figure sitting on top of a table, pouting.<br><br><strong>"Come on you dumb pricks, there's like . . ten of you guys! We could TOTALLY take down those little green menaces, and split the profit. Sailors can't be afraid of goblins! I don't care if you guys got a deadline to deliver stuff to the next town, stick around and let's get some work done! The ladies love heroic types, not a bunch limp-dicked babies, you know?"</strong><br><br>The winking figure was definately female, and seemed to have absolutely NO sense of danger from poking fun at rough and tumble sailors! Then again, most of the sailors were used to it, as she was one of the more popular locals around. She was clad in simple soft boots and breeches, and comfortable-looking light leather armor, a green cloak around her shoulders. Judging by her meager height of three or so feet, she was a halfling, but her pale skin and firey red hair suggested something else was in her parentage. At the moment she was being rather loud, and getting everything from laughs at her antics to exasperated sighs! Seems the little halfling was interested in collecting that bounty on the goblins.

				The signs were clear. Goblin tracks. Many of them, and they were still headed in the same direction.<br><br>Ugnar had been following the trail for days. It had been slow going as he lost the trail, spent time patiently searching for it, then picked it up again. He concealed his frustration, focusing his thoughts inward with plans of what he would -do- to the goblins once he found them. It fueled him. It drove him on. And it kept him from remembering...<br><br>His fingers traced the out line of the boot print before him in the dirt. One, maybe two days old, perhaps more, perhaps less. He remembered the rains that came three nights ago, so it had to have been since then, or the tracks would not still be here. He raised his head, looking out toward the rising sun with his amber eyes. His flattened nose twitched, eager to smell the goblin stench that would promise him that they were near. Disappointed, he rose up to his feet, pulling the cowl of his cloak back up over his head, and set off in the direction that the toes of those prints pointed.<br><br>------<br><br>Early the next morning, the trail was lost. Rather, he lost the trail the previous evening, and right at sunrise he tried again, without success. He sighed, but remained calm. He had plenty of time, now, with nothing else to do but seek his vengeance. Two years on the road, and countless goblin scalps claimed. He didn't do it for a reward, nor did he do it to save the lives of innocents.<br><br>He did it because he -enjoyed- it.<br><br>Though he had lost the trail, he had come across a dirt-packed road that had obviously seen significant road traffic in its time. Without a trail to follow, he assumed the road would lead to a village or town. Perhaps he could find an inn, clean up, get a warm meal and recuperate for a day or so before continuing his search. He looked both ways along the trail, picked one, and began to walk.<br><br>Within a partial hour, he saw the village in the distance, and now could make out the smell of the sea salt. His eyes saw the ocean spreading to his left and to his right, and a few ships could be seen in the distance, bobbing up and down in the water very slightly from this distance. He was sure the goblins hadn't come through this town and taken to ship, so he knew what he had to do: turn around and begin his search in the opposite direction.<br><br>But first - a rest in this village. Restocking his supplies. Warm food and perhaps a warm bath and a warm bed with a whore, if the place had any that would service his kind. Again his feet set out, and a short time later he found himself approaching the village proper.<br><br>A pair of guards stood watch, but neither challenged him. Cowards they were, or perhaps they were there simply to pull the gates shut in the event of an attack. An attack by whom, he did not know... or, perhaps he did. Without pause, he stalked into the village, his eyes glancing from beneath his hood and eventually he saw what he was looking for: a sign that indicated an inn, the partly faded image of a half human woman/half fish painted upon its surface.<br><br>Silly humans and their fantasies.<br><br>Ugnar headed in that direction, ignoring any looks that might be cast his way. He had no desire to start any trouble, and by now was used to the untrusting glares of humans, elves, halflings and dwarves alike. It mattered not to him and he put such thoughts aside as he pushed through the inn's front doors. His gold and silver spent the same as the next man's. If the innkeep was stupid enough to turn it away, Ugnar would leave and head to the next one.<br><br>Upon entering, he noticed a smattering of patrons gathered in the common room. Much of their attention was focused on a halfling woman standing upon one of the tables. She was shouting something to them, challenging them and their manhood. She had spunk, that was for sure - but then she mentioned -goblins-, and Ugnar's ears perked up. Gone were thoughts of food, provisions, whores, and sleep. She had said the magic word, and slowly he made his way towards the table to get a closer look.<br><br>Most of the others around the table ignored her, sighed at her, or laughed. Clearly they were not taking her seriously, or they were simply cowards - a common trait amongst humanity, Ugnar had learned. As he watched the halfling woman glancing around, Ugnar reached up and pulled the hood of his cloak back, revealing his face to her. That was how one with any sort of balls spoke to another - face to face, without masks or false pretenses.<br><br>"I am not afraid of goblins, little one," he said, his voice deep and only with a hint of a growl. "And the idea of profit only makes your story sound even better." He stood well north of six feet in height, with broad shoulders and dark grayish skin. His eyes were a dull amber in color as they focused on the halfling standing on the table, and his dark brown cloak and scale and leather armor, down to his boots, were covered with the dust of the road.

				The guards give no trouble as Ugnar approaches. When it is clear he will not give any answers for his name or business, they simply allow him through without concern-one half orc would be easy to stop if anything happened. A guard comments as he passes by that if he's looking for travel, a good place to start would be the Lusty Mermaid Inn.<br><br>The sailors in the Lusty Mermaid also give no trouble. Half Orcs were well known on the seas, used for heavy lifting or simply to fill out a crew. Inside the inn, there is a job board off to the side that Ugnar notices as he turns to face the halfling: It features a stereotypical goblin face with the words "Wanted: Dead. Ask Barkeep for more information" written in Common.

				<div class="floatright">(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hmvqx2TQ0ik/TFxqamUmFsI/AAAAAAAABOc/0Y6ET1Q00nc/s1600/anime_boy1.jpg)</div>A quiet figure, face shrouded in a deeply hooded cloak rocked slowly over a cup of water. They had paid their keep for a few days, so the barman didn't kick them out for loitering or for taking a place--and for another reason. Soft sounds came from the figure, at times rising and falling like a restless sea, at others arguing with unheard voices. Some say that madness is contagious, and while no one here wanted to catch it, the crossbow at one side marked them an adventurer,and adventurers can be a tricky bunch who can burn out a town if you look at one the wrong way.<br><br>Mirran had been staying with at the inn now for a couple of days. The voices had told him to be patient to wait. Enough, he would argue, that time had come and passed, and he should be on his way. He didn't want to stay here, people kept giving him strange looks he said, and soon they would turn on him if he stayed too long, just as they had in all the other places he'd passed since he left the orphanage. Almost, almost, almost time, the voices whispered in his ear, and his rocking grew more furious, its motion more violent, though still contained in his fragile form. How much longer would the voices make him, force him, tell him to stay here?<br><br>And suddenly, they stopped. The world was quiet for a few instants as a heavy baritone broke the silence. His eyes widened slowly. Was this what they had told him to wait for? But they were quiet now, quiet for the first time in years. By all the gods, what a release. Mirran sobbed quietly into his cloak, the muffled sounds sounding perhaps more like a cough. He looked up, his eyes tracking the half-orc, his mouth open in a perfect 'O' as he watched him carefully.

				Aellon dos Servantos Ramirez de Korvosa, Aellon to his friends. Well if he would have any that was, was riding down the road. People seeing him ride would think him some noble fop, and would wonder why he rode unescorted. His silken cloak waved behind him and his velvet clothing was clearly visible beneath it. Those who thought he was an easy mark would be surprised though.<br><br>he approached a little coastal town, and decided it might be a good place to stop and rest. Perhaps he could pick up some more supplies. he looked at the town, which seemed like every other small harbour town he'd seen, with one subtle difference. People seemed on edge, as if afraid for something or someone. He looked at the peasants walking about and sometimes gawking at him, then rode towards what passed for the drinking establishment here.<br><br>He rode up to the building, and tied his horse to the pole. He walked into the inn and looked around. There seemed to be a bit of a commotion surrounding a little kid. Or, wait. that wasn't a kid. It was a halfling, and she seemed to be riling the locals. This could be interesting. He walked up to the group and looked as she spoke.

				The barkeep of The Lusty Mermaid approached the halfling after the half orc had walked up to her. "Seems like the two of ya are both looking fer a piece of that goblin bounty." He said, offering mugs of ale to the both of them. "On the house, no worries. Lyssa, you know where the mayor's house is." He turned to address the half-orc. "The mayor's offerin' the job. You'll want to talk to him if you want to know any more. Me, I best be seeing to me customers." <br><br>Mirran would be close enough to hear the full conversation, but mostly overlooked by the trio standing there. Aellon would catch scattered glimpses of the conversation-enough to know that the mayor was the one to talk to.

				Aellon looked at the two, then at the barmaid. Goblins huh? Hardly worth his time, really. But then again, these people here seemed generally frightened, and he really wanted to see if that little halfling and that lunkhead would be able to back up that big mouth of theirs. The nob act was serving him well so far so he decided to play that part here as well&nbsp; He walked up to the pair, made a flamboyant bow towards the barkeep as she passed him, then to the small woman in front of him. "Good day, madam. I couldn't help but overhear you planned to rid this town of some vermin. Please allow me to offer my sword arm to your noble cause." He looked at the Orc disdainfully before turning back to the halfling. "Aellon dos Servantos Ramirez de Korvosa, at your service" he said, with another bow.<br><br>

				At the arrival of the half-orc (and his apparent willingness to get his hands dirty with some goblins) the halfling smiled broadly, turning to face him on the table. Even with the height of the table she was still shorter than him, but she was absolutely unintimidated by him, in fact reaching out to give him a smack on the shoulder. <strong>"Good goddess, they make em big where you come from, eh? I bet with those arms it'll just take ya three swings to uproot all of the goblins! Name's Lyssa, and I'm basically the most important person around here."</strong><br><br>As the bartender brought over the ale she accepted it with one hand, and immediately took a swig. <strong>"Ahh . . . best watered down ale on this side of the continent! Dont'cha worry, I'll take you down to see the mayor, and we'll get to adventurin' in no time at all."</strong><br><br>With the appearance of Aellon however, she raised an eyebrow, almost choking on her ale. Velvet? WHO WORE VELVET?! <strong>"Oh? Tired of noble duels and ready to step out into the real world, Aellon dos Servantos Ramirez de Korvosa? Heh, why not? Just be careful, we might get your boots a little dirty!"</strong> Lyssa CLEARLY thought Aellon was some kind of noble out for a bit of sport, playing at being an adventurer.

				Aellon looked at the little woman. "Thank you, madam." Turning towards the crowd he smiled. "The duelling fields do indeed become dull after a while. Shall we go and see this mayor person then? If we are lucky we can get a good distance towards these cretins before nightfall"<br><br>Aellon wondered how long he'd be able to keep up the foppish noble routine. "So, which of you brave men will join us on this noble quest?"

				Most of the sailors in the bar had already forgotten about the three now gathered near the center of the room. Obviously, they had the people they needed to fight the goblins-well, except for maybe a mage, but none of them were trained in arcane arts. They kept to their drinks, and ignored Aellon's call.

				Ugnar remained unmoved when the halfling slapped his shoulder - which would likely have felt like smacking a hand against granite.<br><br>"Lyssa. Well-met, Lyssa. And your... importance... is not lost upon me," he said, glancing around to still see people laughing, shaking their heads, and pretty much not taking her very seriously. So far, the only people to have taken her seriously was the barkeep, himself, and... some foppish looking dandy who stepped up and introduced himself with a very long name.<br><br>Ugnar turned his head to regard the newcomer, and listened as Lyssa addressed him and then he replied.<br><br>"Aellon dos Servantos Ramirez de Korvosa? Such a big name, for such a little man," Ugnar said, scrutinizing him closely. "But I don't rightly care about the 'size' of my companions anyway," he said, ironically turning his gaze back to Lyssa. "As long as there are goblins to kill - you can count me in, and for certain I shall attend this meeting with the mayor."

				<strong>"Well, good thing you're smart enough not to care about size, big guy. Great things come in small packages, dontcha' know? Anyways, let's get our butts in gear! The mayor waits for no man! . . . Well, he waits for basically any man that has business with him, but it sounds more dramatic my way."</strong><br><br>With a quick hop the lightfooted halfling jumped off of the table and rushed right out of the tavern, intent on leading the group to the mayor's residence, her cloak trailing along behind her.

				Aellon smiled as the orc called him small. Standing nearly shoulder to shoulder with the hulk he was only half as wide. He looked as Lyssa left the inn, and quickly strode after her, catching up with her, he looked her up and down for a second "So demoiselle Lyssa, you seem very eager, enthusiastic even to take on such a dangerous mission."

				Ugnar refused to smile, but the well-dressed man refused to back down, and instead chased after Lyssa. That was a good sign. Perhaps he wouldn't flee in terror at the first sign of a goblin horde intent on his blood.<br><br>Ugnar walked after the other two, ignoring the other patrons in the inn. If only three of them had the nerve to step forward, he was fine with that. He was actually fine with going it alone if he had to, but having two companions with the same goal -could- be handy.<br><br>The half-orc followed behind the other two quietly, eager to meet this mayor and get on with the hunt. If he could earn some coin in the process, all the better, but 'profit', as Lyssa had put it, was not the first priority on the half-orc's mind.

He had paid no attention to the words spoken by the trio, keeping his entire attention on the half-orc. It was wonderful--for once the voices had stopped whispering to him! And now they were coming back at the edge of his consciousness like the susurrous of a angry sea kept at bay for a time, ready to come back and sweep him away back towards madness. "Wait," the word left his mouth in a murmur, drowned out by the rampant noise filling the bar. Mirran quickly rose from his seat, and went after the others.<br><br>Keeping thirty feet or so back from them, he squinted in the bright sunlight and tugged his hood down to shield his eyes before making his way towards them. He made no real effort to hide himself, but his small figure and his dark colors might make others ignore him, as was often the case, especially when he fell into one of his fits where all he could hear, think, feel, was the voices, and the multitude of hands with which they caressed, poked, and jabbed him. Still, even at this distance, the strange man kept the voices at bay, and Mirran felt compelled to follow him, if only to save what was left of his fragile sanity.

				The four travelers entered the mayor's house. A young maid greeted them and escorted the four upstairs, to where Mayor Cheton was waiting. "Greetings. I trust you're here about the goblin problem?" Cheton said, rising from his desk. "I'll be brief. A few months ago, a tribe of goblins showed up and took residence in a nearby mountain. The City Watch advised that their numbers were small, and if they attempted an attack, they would be quickly destroyed. They attempted to rob caravans on their way to Coastedge, but failed to get away with much of anything." He paused for a moment, then smiled. <br><br>"In what seemed like desperation, they attempted an attack on Coastedge. The City Guard's assessment proved correct, not only did the guard take care of the problem, but a visiting privateer crew assisted in the fight, sending the goblins back to their cave with no problems. Now, they've left us alone for a few weeks, we assumed they had fled to other places. However, two days ago, a goblin carrying a religious symbol and a carved stick arrived at the gate. He ordered us to give his tribe a chest of 300 gold pieces, or he would destroy the city. To hammer his point home, he used the stick-a wand, I'm told-to attack one of our guards, knocking him out with a ray of black light." (OOC: Anyone with the skill can make Spellcraft checks to get a rough idea of what spell it might have been) The mayor sighed. "It wasn't enough to kill the poor fellow, but he's still in the temple, as far as I know." By this point, he had walked around and stood in front of his desk, a few feet from the adventurers.<br><br>"We were given a week to respond to the threat. However, I'd rather pay a few adventurers to dispose of the threat. I'm certain my guards could handle a full attack, considering the tribe's reduced size, but I'd rather see this incident handled without anyone in my town dying." The mayor crossed his arms. "Any group who can handle this will be rewarded the 300 gold piece tribute the goblins ask for. Also, anything found in the caves-likely stolen from other travelers-is yours to keep. Keep the wand that goblin bastard has too, for all I care." Cheton relaxed his pose. "Any questions? I'd be happy to answer with the best of my knowledge."

				On their little trek to the mayor's home she glanced over her shoulder a few times, taking note of the newcomer that had seemed to tag along a bit of a ways behind them . . . but in the end she just shrugged and continued on. Maybe he was shy? Either way, she lead the others to the mayor's home where they got the whole story from the man.<br><br><strong>"Hrm, a black ray? Could be a lot of spells I guess . . . . nothing I can really nail down though. I'm still learning about that sort of hoo-doo, but it's not so easy without any proper wizarding sorts in the town. Can't remember the last time a mage came by on a ship . . . still, 300 gold is pretty solid adventure-bait! When can we leave?" </strong>The halfling was a little bundle of energy. She had ignored Aellon's question about her motivations earlier with a grin and a wave of her hand, but it was obvious now: She was in it for the thrill! . . . and the gold.

"Though usually you need to touch the person to affect them... Oh," he starts after a moment. "Goblin problem? Goblins? Here? Where?" he looks around frantically for a few moments before quieting down, his voice a soft alto. His face and voice are androgynous enough that he might be mistaken for a girl easily enough, and he blushes when realizing that he needs to get up to speed.<br><br>"You're going? All of you?" he looks at the others again, pausing for a few moments when his gaze turns to the half-orc. "Well... if it wouldn't be too much trouble," he looks down, his face reddening once more, "I'd like to join you. To... ummm... kill goblins?" There doesn't seem to be much convinction in his voice, and he looks already shaken at the thought of a horde of goblins descending upon them.<br><br>At the question of whether they needed more time to prepare, he should his head. "No... I've got everything I need with me," he motions to the pack on his back, before muttering to himself, "Everything..." as his gaze fell once more on the half-orc, before realizing his actions and quickly looking away.

				Ugnar has heard enough. The reward as offered, and for now, the half-orc would trust this 'mayor' to hold up his end of the bargain, assuming they succeeded.<br><br>"How do we prove to you that this 'issue' has been dealt with?" he asked. "Do you want the head of the shaman? That can be arranged," he said. It only made sense, otherwise, the group could depart, kill a goblin or to, return and -claim- the trouble was resolved, take the money and depart. Surely the mayor would demand some sort of proof, Ugnar assumed.<br><br>When the man behind them spoke, Ugnar turned to look at him. He looked... well. like a she, or a he, depending on the light, but the voice made him think more of a man, or young boy at the least. He seemed almost terrified, or quite unsure if he would be tagging along or not. Ugnar, of course, simply regarded the young boy as another -target- for goblin arrows, which meant fewer coming his own way.<br><br>"These are goblins we hunt, not full-blooded orcs, boy," Ugnar said, "There is no reason to fear, unless they have aid that we are unaware of," he added.

				Cheton nodded at Ugnar's words. "The head would be welcome. If for any reason that cannot be arranged, the wand or the religious symbol will serve in place-you'd likely only get it by killing the bastard anyway. I'm certain he's a leader of some kind, so kill him and the rest will flee-if you haven't already cut them down."

				<strong>"Mhmm, this is a suitably grand quest.

Of course, to anyone with a trained eye, Lyssa was clearly NOT ready. Sure, she had a sling on her belt and some armor, but she had no backpack or bedroll, or any sort of survivalist gear at all. Everything about her practically screamed first-time adventurer.

				The half-orc chuckled.<br><br>"It doesn't look like you are truly ready for the road, little one. In fact, none of you look ready," he said. "This trip might take a day, perhaps... but what happens if it takes a week? Or a month? Most goblin caves to -not- have inns in which you can stop, order a bath and food. Do you have the basics? Do you have any dried meat? Waterskin? Do you even carry flint and steel?" he asked, though his voice was surprisingly not harsh, but curious.<br><br>"Do you even have a blanket?" he asked. "Cold nights deep underground will set the shivers upon you, and with few trees underground, there may not be the luxury of a fire," he said.<br><br>"I recommend that you make yourselves -truly- ready, instead of rushing off so hastily.

				Okay, that one put Lyssa back a step, as her grin slowly turned into a frown as she pieced together what the half-orc said. He was absolutely right of course, and here Lyssa was acting like a rank amateur.

				Lyssa was actually pretty quick on her feet, and it would be a bit of work to keep up with her. Pretty unusual that someone so short could run so fast! As she headed out she turned to the fop and grinned. <strong>"Sorry, I'm not into guys who use more perfume and silky bedsheets than I do! I'll get my own stuff! Ha ha!"</strong><br><br>And she did.

				The half-orc waited patiently outside the general store where Lyssa, and possibly others, were purchasing their goods. He kept thinking about the well-dressed man and his intention to bring his horse. Of course, if the goblins were really in a 'cave' as the mayor had hinted, a horse wasn't going to be doing them much good there. They'd likely just have to hope that they could find someplace outside the cave to conceal it.<br><br>Ugnar didn't like horses much - except that a bit of horseflesh roasted over an open fire was pretty fair.

				(Executive time skip time!)<br><br>The four headed out towards the caves. The guards pointed them in the appropriate direction, straight towards the nearby mountains. The 4 hour journey was rather uneventful-no ambushs and no other travelers anywhere nearby.<br><br>The passage up to the goblin cave was simple-made sense that goblins would choose an easy path. However, inside the caves it was pitch black. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of goblins would know that goblins possessed darkvision, making pitch black caves an easy home for them. This also meant that any use of light sources would tip the goblins off-stealth would be a difficult option.

"W--what should we do...?" he asks, his soft, high voice quavering at the thought of being ambushed and brought down by an avalanche of small creatures. He looked to the others; at least the voices were gone for now. For now.

				"W-well then, here I go..." the boy moved closer to the half-ogre. "Ummm... excuse me," the words exit his mouth as a small squeak, clearly intimidated by the brutish figure hulking head and shoulders above him. He rummages through his pack before pulling out a strange-looking symbol (http://hydra-images.cursecdn.com/lol.gamepedia.com/a/ae/NiP_Logo.png) which he holds fast in one hand before closing his eyes for a moment and beginning to speak; "By ancient power of stars and sunlight, by the grand wonders of the of the dawn and dusk, by every figure that stands in the heavens above us and calls down to us from their zeniths of glory, let us share of a fraction of that power which they wield with their sacred grace." A pale hand extends out, and brushes the side of the half-orc's axe for a moment.<br><br>Mirran could see it in his mind's eye, the strange lines of power coursing through the universe, each ley line with its own radiance, its own color, each one unique and different. His mind reached out, and gathered the lines which came together through his voice. He let the words flow through him, about him, and into the lines, and with each word their colors and brightness pulsed for a moment, the power coming through hard and fast. He could feel it shooting through his body, up through his feet, trying to find something to shape it rather than fizzling out in an explosion that might tear it apart. He slowly raised the symbol above his head, and the energy coalesced there for a moment before finding its focus and form, changing into the shape he wanted. It then rushed down his other arm, having found its purpose, and into the half-orc's axe.<br><br>The weapon softly glows for a moment with a dim light before bursting into its full radiance, almost as though the half-orc were wielding a torch. Lines can be seen still softly moving through it, the power still coursing through the axe, sending a soft sensation down the wielder's arm almost like a kind of warm buzzing. A sheen of sweat covered Mirran's forehead from the exertion, which he quickly wiped away with an errant hand.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cast Light (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/l/light) upon Ugnar's axe which now glows like a torch (20' illumination, +20' shadowy illumination).</div></div>

"I heard a priest once tell me that he did it by writing stuff down about how the universe works, and pressing down <em>here</em> to make something happen <em>there</em>, while another said that he borrowed the power of something that he served, but I never understood what they meant..." he trails off, looking at his feet and turning red from rambling on for so long. He hadn't meant to bore them or even to speak that much, but the statement had caught him off guard and he was unsure what she had even meant.<br><br>As he saw her go for her sling, he fumbled out his own weapon and cocked a quarrel into the groove of a plainly-made crossbow, pulling back the drawstring with some difficulty before settling it against the edge of his cloak at his thigh. <em>Scary,</em> he thought to himself, fear beginning to crop up as he fell into place behind the others.

He swallowed heavily and tried to concentrate, closing his eyes for a moment as he gathered up the lines of energy. With one hand he held the focus which kept the energies from bursting within his body, with the other he turned swiftly around in a circle, a brilliant line of yellow energy forming where his hand pointed around just an inch above the ground. Still keeping his concentration, he began to intone words of power that ring throughout the cave entrance, sending shivers through the backs of the uninitiated.<br><br>"The stars and light are formed from the infinite cosmos.

The words come naturally, with no real intent or meaning behind them, strange things whispered into his ear and coming out his mouth with almost no volition of his own as he works more off of instinct than intent. A bright symbol, a circle encircled with words and within with runes springs up before him before a jet of light springs forth from the middle of the circle before splitting into four different parts, each of moving quickly to the top their heads; Ugnar, Lyssa, Aellon, and lastly Mirran's head, and a soft rain of golden light scatters onto them. Each feels a sense of renewed hope and purpose, ready to defeat any that would stand in their way.<br><br>The lights fade about him, both the runed circle before and the glowing line about him, and suddenly he pants, almost falling against the rock face beside him, face pasty white and chest heaving at the exertion.

				As Ugnar enters the left passageway, he notices two things. One, the two passages actually lead to the same place, with a 'pillar' of rock separating the two. Second, the left passage had a side passage to it. From the side passage came the unmistakable scent of goblin waste. And oh boy is it strong.

				As the bolt flies off into the distance, and before Ugnar gets a chance to strike, the shaman uses the wand yet again, blasting Ugnar with the same Negative Energy as before. While the spell does hurt, it doesn't stop Ugnar's attack. His axe smashes the goblin's frail body, and it becomes clear that the cleric is hanging on by a mere thread.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Lyssa is next!</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Goblin Cleric uses Inflict Light Wounds, dealing 5 damage to Ugnar (2 with a Will Save of 14)<br>(http://i.imgur.com/y8q3aDD.jpg?1)</div></div><br>

				Both the bolt and Ugnar's axe strike true, and the last goblin of this tribe falls. All that is left is the altar to Lamashtu...and the large amount of treasure that the goblins have accumulated from raids on unsuspecting merchants.<br><br>Aside from the wand the Cleric used, likely the only item used by the goblins that was worth more then scrap value, there is a large pile of coins. While it is difficult to count them, there is no copper anywhere in the coin pile. Also, there is 10 gems-most are cheap and worth little, but two, an Amethyst and Chrysoberal, are worth significantly more. There is also a light flail, and while it has suffered in the goblins' care, it is obviously a masterpiece of blacksmithing. Finally, there is an unmarked vial containing a Florescent Orange liquid-obviously a potion, but one that is difficult to identify.<br><br>And while the adventurers tally up their loot, they catch sight of each other, and begin to realize they have formed a bond with each other.

Detect Magic (because I KNOW one of you is gonna cast it!) reveals it to be mundane.<br>1 Wand of Inflict Light Wounds.

				<strong>"Well . . . that was pretty swell, wasn't it? We sure showed these guys who's boss . . . good GOD where did they get all this money from?! And this is a heck of a nice flail . . . seriously, what the heck!"</strong><br><br>Lyssa had started to congratulate the others, only to be neatly distracted by the large amount of treasure. She could live off this amount of loot for a LONG time, if she wanted to! The happy halfling casually cast her eyes over the stuff, detecting to see if any of it was magical . . . and eventually locking onto that orange potion.<br><br><strong>"Ooh, mystery drink!"</strong>

				Ugnar glances at the coins, gems, and small pile of items the goblins had collected. Probably stolen from passersby, merchants and the like that they had ambushed. Now, these goblins would trouble no one.<br><br>The half-orc shouldered his shield and put his axe at his hip, then pulled a dagger from his boot and began the grim task of collecting the 'proof' they would need to show the mayor that the deed was done. Ugnar was only too happy to begin the shaman's scalp.<br><br>"Who amongst us is best with numbers?" he asked as he cut and hacked. "Whoever that is should divide those coins and gems as best they can so that we can pack up and head back to town."

"It places a mark on whoever drinks it. Or whatever it's splashed on." His head had begun to hurt again, and the voices were growing louder, despite the proximity of the half-orc.<br><br>He looks around, and once more sees the bodies on the floor. If he had still had anything in his stomach, this would be the time once more that it could be found on his feet. "The smell," he mutters, the metallic tang of blood filling his nose. "Need... air," he wheezes, dashing out of the room and back towards where the cave originally opened for a breath of air.

				Aellon looked at the heap of 'treasure' Well money was always useful, but other than that it seemed to be mostly trash really. The gems might be useful, though Aellon doubted they were worth much. He looked at Arkhos. Lets just pack up this stuff, and sort it when we're somewhere safe and warm.

				((Invoking a little bit of DM Power to sort this out a little easier))<br><br>The party starts stuffing the treasure into various sacks, but Lyssa places the potion into a small pouch on her backpack. The rest is carried easily by the strongest guy in the group-Ugnar. <br><br>The party returns to Coastedge after sundown. The guards recognize the adventurers, and the two at their posts give a smile, knowing that the goblins have been dealt with.

				As the party returns to the small town, Ugnar actually seems to be in a rather 'cheery' mood. He walks with a bit lighter step, and even... -hums- to himself? (gasp!).<br><br>With the village gates coming into sight, he glances at each member of the group. "I'd be happy to buy the first round at the inn," he offered. "You all did well today - better than I expected, to be truthful. This little journey was profitable in more ways than one."<br>
