Session 1: Ascent through First Find

Some part of Tezoc's memory flares at the pillars, but nothing concrete (heh). Some vague recollections, half remembered memories and details. Some of the pillars look like they may have at one point been fashioned as statues or with the images of faces upon them, but time and erosion have removed anything recongisable or that would trigger a fresh inspiration.

Florian, Xadra and Beast take the right, Max and Lucas take the left. Something just doesn't feel right though as you progress through the room. The air feels dangerous and the broken pillars and shifted rubble make even navigating the floor tricky, much less seeing the entire room at one go.

Florian can't help the feeling of being watched as he examines the room

Florian lifts the torch high, trying to illuminate the room. It makes him a target. There's a heavy grinding stone on metal noise, and there's a THWIP noise as something launches out of the darkness towards him; a metal tip glints in the light, and everyone can see in the corner of their eye it's a spear. There's maybe enough time for someone to do something before it hits Florian.

Thtunk, kasnap clatter
The ancient spear slams into Florians shoulder and instantly snaps, leaving a shattered speartip in his shoulder poking through his jacket. A small sliver of blood is trickling through. Xadras attempt at knocking the spear clear wildly misses. But lands somewhere deep in the darkness. There's a yelp sound, followed by more yelping, this time angrier.

Maximilien immediately recognises the yelping noises, or one like it. Nasally, high pitched, and above all else, about six of them all muttering and barking and hissing. Kobolds hiding behind one of the collapsed pillars in the distance, arguing amongst themselves about what just happened.Now that he knows what he's dealing with, Maximilien looks for the telltale signs of traps; nothing stands out, but he can see rope on the floor that wasn't there a moment ago that seems to be attached to the back of the now snapped spear that hit Florian.

There's another grinding noise in the darkness from where the kobolds are hidden. One of the dragonkin pokes it's head out with something on it's shoulder, and there's just enough light to spot the shimmer of metal poking out from the end of it. It's pointed in Tezoc's direction, as a result of his challenge. Another one is doing the same; with a similar kind of tube shaped object.

What now?
