((No weapon bonuses for this fight, as they're not suited to it.))
{4} - Raksharak gives an inspirational speech about clearing out the caves as he slowly moves into them. Quixote seems to need particular inspiration, so he begins calling out uplifting phrases at the swordsbold.
{5} vs {5} - Kishquark carries a few loose sticks into the cave, then hears sounds of conflict from deeper inside. He gives a running leap off the edge, smashing into one of the threats with his axe. It's another badger, which somehow parries the kobold's blow with its teeth. {5} The axe holds together as he hangs in the air for a few tense seconds, his allies giving both as wide a berth as the close space allows ...
{1} {5}-1=4 (Inspired, re-roll) vs {5} - Quixote pauses his hugs to draw his sword from the river and charges towards the sound of conflict from the cave. He pauses on the ledge as he considers the best path down. When his boss tells him he can do anything, he takes a leap of faith onto one of the creatures, sword first. It evades his efforts and leaps up to bite his hand.
-1 HP{5} - Kemla retrieves her javelin from the downed animal, managing not to make its wound worse at the insistence of the other kobolds. Quixote runs into the cave ahead of her, and she misses the chance for more hugs.
Begin whispering corrupting thoughts into the ears of the sleeping hostile pillow-thing.
{1} - Corruptions whispered.
{6} - Ierenys finds a tree that's easy enough to climb, if not near fruit-vines. She thinks she can hear one of Raksharak's loud speeches from a small hill, so she climbs down and heads for it. She finds one day's worth of berries on the way back, which she gathers.
+1 kobold-day's worth of berries{2} - After successfully convincing Kemla not to hurt the badger while retrieving her weapon, and politely waiting for the sulfur person to stop whispering to it in its strange language, Kromewill drags the animal into the cave by its tail.
{5} - Pescal soothes the badger after the kobold's rough treatment. The badger soon awakens, pacified but weak from blood loss.
{5} - Kork hugs the badger to try to repay the nice blue forest-thing. It feels like its having trouble breathing, and he hopes and hopes that it gets better and then the wound closes. Yay!
New skill: Healing Hugs{5} - The unhatched Scionex dreams of assaulting a great fortress, easily avoiding explosive ballista bolts while raining fire from above. His dream ends, and he feels a pressing need for freedom.
Trait: Natural Flier - +1 flight and aerial evasion [Locked: Age]
Trait: Draconic Fire Breath [Locked: Age]{3} - Noot carefully puts the egg down in the most secure spot he can find, then looks over the ledge, preparing to join the fray. He feels a strong twinge of regret at the thought of leaving the kobolds around the egg unsupervised, and can't quite bring himself to leave it. He picks it back up, and now feels that the egg will be hatching soon. He goes back to watching the fight below. He doesn't think he'd be welcome in such a tight fight, anyway.
{3} vs {4}-1(swarm bonus) - Lukeinator prepares to whip one of the beasts, but never gets a clear shot.
