Belanor ready to exit the cavern sheaths his sword and turns to depart. He stops suddenly as Kersha begins her speak in another language.
He stops at the arch way leaning against the wall pouting.

Chapter 5 - Wave Echo Cave

"The Black Spider will be happy!" a voice responds.

"You three, help me with this barricade. You! Go tell Nezznar we've cleared the undead!"

Within a few seconds you can hear the sounds of multiple large creatures sliding heavy objects across the floor on the other side of the door.

"What is your name, Sister?" the voice calls out to Kerisha from behind the door.

OOC:

All dialog is in Goblin.

Karma moves off to the side of the door hopefully out of view, his heckles up naturally at the sound of Goblin. He touches Kerisha shoulder before stepping a side bless her with natures power.

"Kerisha" she rasps back in Goblin. "We clear out your problem. We help you. Maybe we can help more?"

She feels slightly disgusted at herself offering to help, but any information she can get will help the group later, and if they can avoid walking into an ambush, that would be ideal.

"Help you?" comes back a slightly confused sounding response.

"We are here to serve Nezznar, the Black Spider, nothing more."

The door opens, revealing a rather large bugbear, with three others moving large crates about the room. His shocked face reveals he was not expecting to see your group on the other side of the door.

"WHO ARE YOU?" he yells loud enough to gain the attention of the other three in the room, who stop what they're doing and watch on.

OOC:

Again, all dialog is in Goblinoidish.

Chapter 5 - Wave Echo Cave

Kerisha's face almost mimics the shocked large bugbear, after all she had just introduced herself. "Kerisha" she says again, before pointing to each of her group in turn; "Karma. Gerbo. Belanor. Macska."

Kerisha peers into the room, leaning to look around the large frame of the bugbear. "Where is Black Spider?" She tires to think on her feet, which although they are rather large, are not used to being thought on. "we um...heard mine is good and um... may have job here." Not a lie as she definitely remembers Gundren offering them a job in the mine, the bugbear just doesn't need to know where the job offer came from. "Wanted to see who was in charge." She adds a toothy grin for good measure.

OOC:

Oh dear...Oh dear oh dear... I'm sorry! Kerisha will just hit stuff from now on...if we survive

With Kerisha doing her best charming job Karma spins from his hiding spot and looks the BugBear in the eyes. A rush of negative mojo flings from the Dwarf hitting the Goblinoid square the the face.

Chapter 5 - Wave Echo Cave

It's obvious from the bugbear's expression when Macska is introduced that he recognizes him.

"Damned cat!" he growls, reaching for the blood covered morningstar that hangs from his belt.

"Kill them! They are friends of the cat!"

He steps forward, but before he can unhook his weapon his matted-fur covered hands reach for his ears and he lets out a painful scream. He spins on his heels and starts to run to the opposite exit. This display is enough to cause the other three bugbears in the room a moment of pause before they gather up their courage and start moving towards Kerisha.

OOC:

Karma has taken his action for the 'surprise' round, so everyone else gets a turn before we head into actual initiative order combat.

Kerisha can use a Reaction to attack the fleeing Bugbear and still take a turn.

BB1 has fled out the far door, but may be back. (Unclear to me if Dissonant Whisper's affect is ongoing or not)

Round 1:
Gerbo, Belanor,
BB1, BB3,
Kerisha,
BB4,
Karma

I read it as just that one turn, because the duration of the spell is instantaneous.

Gerbo steps forward past Karma and pulls something from his component pouch, flinging it quickly at the foes through the doorway, yelling "Pocket sand!" as he retreats back and hides behind the wall.

OOC:

Chapter 5 - Wave Echo Cave

The bugbears do their best to shield their eyes as a blinding array of colors shoot forth from Gerbo's hand. Two of three manage to look away before any harm can be done, but the smallest of the three isn't so lucky, and comes to a complete stop and extends his hands in front of him, trying to feel his way about.

OOC:

Karma and Gerbo have taken their actions for the 'surprise' round.
Belanor and Kerisha can still act before we go to Round 1.

Kerisha can use a Reaction to attack the fleeing Bugbear and still take a turn.

BB1 has fled out the far door, but will probably be back.
BB2 is BLINDED until the end of Gerbo's turn in Round 2.

Belanor unsheaths his weapon wearly of having to use it. He cowers near the arch way hoping that though hes been announced they won't pay him any attention.

Kerisha starts to thump her own head. "Stupid. Stupid" With each thump she curses herself for thinking she could talk her way out of things. The pain intensifies in her head and she screams, angry at herself, and the bugbears. She rakes her sword down the back of the fleeing foe before charging towards the nearest enemy for another wild swipe of her sword.

OOC:

entering rage at herself and taking it out on bugbears

Kerisha's self beating does little to help her attacks, as both swings fail to connect, the second not coming anywhere close to her intended target.

Peeking his head out enough to find a target, aims and fires his crossbow at bugbear 2 before ducking back behind the door and reloading.
