"Damn chainmail is heavier than I thought!"
Chapter 3: Advent of the Avalanche Lords
"Damn chainmail is heavier than I thought!"
The doll rushes at Honey and attacks, scoring a critical hit! The awl digs into Honey's hamstring, causing her to fall!
***
Meanwhile, Evadare and Hyde rush towards the Guntherson Showroom. Yeoman Guntherson is the only other human in Krinnelton. He is old, with streaks of gray in his ample beard, and wears a knit cap. Guntherson stands in the cluttered showroom of his shop, hundreds of tools and supplies and minor trophies cluttering the large space, leaving narrow walkways between themed sections. One wall is lined with fishing gear and laminated fish heads, while a pile across the walkway is stacked with crates filled with heavy nets and steel spikes. A wicked doll climbs atop the crates, backing a defenseless Guntherson toward the mountaineering supplies. "Go to sleep, my sweet dear," the doll sings softly without moving its lips, then brings its awl down into Gunderson's chest! The man groans and falls!
As you prepare to deal with the dolls, an explosion sounds from within Hammlin house! The blast visibly diminishes the strength of the magical shield surrounding Krinnelton...

Meanwhile, in the showroom, Evadare fires a crossbow bolt into the wooden doll. Hyde moves in and slices off the doll's arm, taking half of its body along with it! The doll falls and lies still, save for the faint pulsing of the bomb within its torso...

Hyde readies his shield beside the thief to clamp down on the bomb should he fail...
In the showroom, poor Yeoman Guntherson's body has already begun to cool. There are plenty of tools and supplies here of all sorts if you wish to be unsavory and take them for yourselves.
In the meantime, though, there are still more attacks underway!
Hyde dashes to the door and waits for Evadare to be ready...
Meanwhile, Hyde and Evadare reach Colonel Baxton's headquarters. The colonel, a young elven woman in a fine military uniform, struggles with a wooden doll that has jumped onto her back! A crossbow and a quiver of bolts hangs from the wall, next to a large tapestry depicting the Krinnelton battle flag, a white snowflake in a circle on a blue background.
