Week 9 - RUN!

So there we were, staring down the meanies. Ponderosa had a snarly look towards Mordoc. The big stupid ones ready to take out Pip, Pátrin, and myself, and Korasche overseeing the whole operation.  Everyone looked tired, it could go either way.

I stepped up to the the first stupid meanie and with two well placed strikes, I was able to knock him down. The other big stupid meanie took one look at Pip and knocked Pip out. Mordoc took the skies and flew up to get out of the reach of Ponderosa. I was focused on the other big stupid that had just taken out Pip, but I heard Pátrin, Mordoc, and Korasche join forces and body dropped. Ponderosa went down. With one last good attack, I ran up and kicked the big stupid in the head, knocking it unconscious.

We did it! We were able to save ourselves from sure defeat. We tied up the two meanies, maybe they'll be useful when they wake up. We dragged Pip and the gang up to the Kobold den and thankfully, we were able to get some rest. Felt a little like home.

We woke up the next day and paid a visit to the stupid meanies we tied up. Pip had some questions and took out his gun for added persuasion. The first meanie was very mean and didn't live long. The other had a change of heart and helped us get to the next part of the cave.

We entered a room and Korasche was having "fun" picking on the tied up and otherwise helpless meanie. He was doing all sorts of things, made me feel uncomfortable: pushed the meanie down the stairs, kind of pick on the meanie, bullied the meanie into opening the gate. Upon pushing the meanie down the stairs, we startled a group of Kobolds.

Pip and Korasche made quick work of the Kobolds (makes me nervous every time I say that). But then we heard a rumble from the corner. 

Korasche didn't hesitate and fired off a Witch Bolt to the rock looking thing. The witch bolt connected and it howled, unleashing these giant tentacles and showing its gross mouth.

It. Was. Terrifying.

Knowing the only way I could attack would be up close, I didn't hesitate. I took off running, yelling to the party "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!"

At first I could hear some footsteps following me, but then it got quiet the further I ran.

Was I just too fast? Did they stay? Did they choose to fight?
