When Kobolds Fly -- 004

[TheZebraShakes™]

Opting to play it safe, rather than roll dice like a real man, Sar moves in ahead of his companions in search of any ninja defenses.

Pandoro finally gets that pesky torch to light and moves in after him to shed some light on the matter as Strom's eyes are forced to adjust to the fact that he travels with humans and elves.

About thirty feet into the cave, Sar nearly trips over the inconspicuous tripwire as he is fumbling over the use of so many skills at once.

The wire is about four inches off of the ground and practically impossible to see with the eyes of mere mortals.

But Sar points it out to the group, knowing that it would be likely to trigger an alarm of some sort which would alert every kobold in the place to the unwanted company.

Everyone manages to avoid it with some degree of care and help from the ever vigilant scout.

The group of unfortunately named adventurers presses onward, deeper into the cave.

The cavern widens significantly and the ceiling vaults.

The cave is dark and misty as water drips from the ceiling in several places.

Air moves past in an underground breeze, seeming to come from some place up ahead.

-Marching formation/order through the room
-Any actions here?
-Is everyone wearing shoes?
-No map today

The shoe-wearing Strom, noticing the water, is very sure to take a good look around for magenta mold. Magenta molds were known to grow in damp caves and outhouses and inhaling them could damage vocal cords, raising the pitch of one's vocal range an octave and a half.

Otherwise, Strom will stay at the front of the group (sans any scouts), carefully guarding his lungs from any threats.

Pandoro awkwardly tries to cover his mouth and nose with his left arm. It's hard to do while wielding a torch but he remembers Strom telling him about cave growing purple mushrooms which could make even the toughest of men talk like a sissy. A fate worse than death.

After Pandoro checks the bottom of his flip-flops to make sure he didn't step in anything purple, he follows next after Strom.

And, poof, there we were...

Ok, Balen the human barb has his axe out, his shoes on, and no torch, because he's not all that bright, no pun intended.

Anyway, I'll take the front with Strom and Pandoro and keep my eyes and ears open.

Sar wonders what it means that he can feel a breeze now that he's further into the tunnels, but not when he got to the entrance- and, finally overwhelmed by all his Spotting, Listening, Searching, Hiding, Moving Silently, and Knowledging, steps in a patch of guano, nearly ruining his Converse Dungeon-Stars.
As stated earlier, he's about ten feet in front of the front-liners, for trap-checking goodness.
