John's Fault

Kiwk sticks John again with his spear, bolstered by his leader's successful attack. He all but ignores everyone else.

As John wipes the blood off his bottom lip he glances at Vicky as she walks past him. John hisses as a healing calmness rushes thru his body. John turns to the kobolds "Fine! I'm thru with you! If you do come to find us I'll be waiting for you! And with that John turns around and heads for the door.

ZhuGuan picks up the rest of John's things doing his best to sling one arm of his pack on his pack to make it less cumbersome to carry. "I think that went well," he said to himself sarcastically.

"Hey, don't forget Jack and his things," he calls to the others.

"I got him. John hisses at Guan "someone just needs to grab his things.

Jared Lees, Halfling, Gloom Pact Binder

Jared looks over at Guan quickly as the half elf rattles off orders. The halfling shakes his head, takes a deep breath and holds out both arms to his side. The shadows gather about him forming long cables of darkness. He snaps his arms down towards the kobolds and the shadows stream out erupting into a web like areas of gloom about them.

"That will slow them down. Now everyone stop playing heros and just get out." Jared follows his own advice, turns on his heal and leaves the room.

Now that everyone has cleared the kobolds use

2d6 + Charisma modifier necrotic damage, and the target is immobilized (save ends). Miss: Half damage, and the target is slowed (save ends).

Kiwk stabs at John as he tries to move away, but misses the revenant. Jared's strands of shadows strike both the kobolds. It is a direct hit on Kiwk, stringing the kobold up, though Boyikt is only barely caught in the webbing. The strange shadow webs begin to drain both of it's caught prey of their lifeforce. Though Boyikt is barely hurt, he watches as the strands sap the injured kobold slink of the last of its life force.

"NO!" screams out Boyikt as he watches his companion die.

He falls to his knees as he realizes that now he is truly alone in this dungeon. Kiwk's words echo in his mind over and over again. He said not to trust them. He said that they would die if they did try to negotiate. Kiwk was right. Boyikt has made a terrible mistake. He can't take his wide eyes off the last of his friends. He doesn't even seem to notice the others any further.

Allyria moves over and quickly begins to pick up the things that Guan had been laying out. She scoops them up as quickly as she can and she begins to head out the door. She half expects the little wizard to continue the fight, but it appears that all of the fight has left him. She is reminded of the sullen orcs that they first met, and she can't help but wonder if the same fate awaits their group in this dismal place...

Unless someone plans on continuing the fight, I am closing this combat thread. If someone does decide that they want to keep fighting, then let me know in the Region A thread, and I'll set up a round 5.
