"I smash him with my spiked balls and then kick him."





The lizard had a listen at a door and could hear someone mumbling/chanting in the next room - a hobgoblin wizard alerted by the goblin massacre, frantically prepping spells to face the invaders. So the party huddled, and the Echidna sepped up to the plate.

"I smash the door off its hinges with my spikey ball."

The wizard was inside, behind a metal curtain.

"I tear down the curtain and throw it on the Wizard."

So he negotiated the tables in the Wizards lab, tore down the curtain and dropped it over the Wizard, who sprayed a wierd rainbow of colours at the Echidna and the Lizard, who was coming in behind him (looking a bit to me like he was actually taking cover behind the Echidna to me.) They both made their saves, the Wizard lunched his initiative roll (which kind of fits because he was trapped under a metal curtain) and the Echidna smashed him into a paste with a crit. Killed in 2 rounds.

It was a good session, especially with the little guy making a lot of calls on what he wants to do. He shot at a shrieker mushroom with his crossbow, missing but setting the mushroom alarm off in a piercing whistling shriek. The 13yo said "I told you to leave it alone" and the little guy started crying. I gave him a cuddle, explained what would have happened anyway if he had left it alone, which involved the lizard sneaking past it, making successful move quietly rolls, and the shrieker taking a deep breath and screaming its guts out anyway, and he cheered up and got back to lootin', shootin' and bootin'. Oh yeah, and he kicked the wizard after he dropped it, and was satisfied when it crumbled and wafted away as a green whisp of smoke. Which he insisted was its ghost.

They are finally starting to get some loot, and there is a fair bit of magical swag for a 1st lvl dungeon, but that's cool. If it keeps them going, fine. It's not like I'm going to run out of monsters.
