In a low voice, in elven in case the Kobolds are close
I should be able to move through these trees easier than they. I say we try to bring them to the trail and into the open for Gilgar to deal with them. Perrin and I can try to get a flank drawing this in the dirt as he talks to allow gilgar and the others to have an understanding of his idea.
Nox La'Athvanna |
How strategic of you, that's not a bad idea. I will leave Perrin with her. I say we move to the trail, draw them to you and Graymoon and I fall in while they are focused on their prey and the huge axe that just decapitated their neighbor. Whatever we do, we should do it before they realize that we are here
Pixie Rogue |
Jeva grins and claps her hand at the thought. She nods eagerly, looking back and forth between Nox and Gilgar.
Laucian says, "I'll keep her safe, never fear." He's not terribly convincing, but his eyes are steady and the grip on his quarterstaff is firm.
Meanwhile, Graymoon shrugs and whispers, "I'll be close by. Don't worry about saving some for me."
He stalks into the trees.
I need to work on some setup. More later.
Nox La'Athvanna |
Nox will lean down to Perrin and point to the girl Defend which will result in Perrin moving to the girls side and sitting in a alert fashion sniffing the air.
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 perception (scent)
Nox will then turn and dissapear into the trees just wide of where Graymoon indicated the Kobolds' flank to be.
Pixie Rogue |
So this is what I think you indicated: Laucian, Perrin, and Jeva will remain in the camp with Gilgar. Gilgar, I imagine you will take no special actions other than to possibly spit on both hands and tighten your grip on the axe. Let me know if there's more I need to take into account.
Nox disappears into the trees - facing the direction you expect the kobolds to come from, are you moving to your left or to your right? How far are you going or what signal would cause you to stop?
Graymoon is already out of sight in the trees, he disappeared to the right.
Spoilers since everyone's separated!
Pixie Rogue |
Perception check, please.
Graymoon whispers, "You can handle these, yes? There are three more on the other side. I will take care of those."
He waits for your response.
Pixie Rogue |

Reflex save negates. To determine the DC of the save for your spells, it is 10 + your Wisdom modifier (3) + the spell's level (2), so it's Reflex DC 15 for the kobold to avoid 9 points of fire damage.
As Nox completes his spell, a miniature sun appears about four feet off the ground - about right for Nox's feet, actually - between the second and third kobold. It drops into between them and they barely have time to flinch before it literally rolls up and onto the far kobold, his bloodcurdling shriek cut off suddenly and his struggles quickly cease. You cruel, cruel druid!
Suddenly, to your right, where both elves disappeared, you see light and hear a blood-curdling shriek. You may not be a scholar, but you were around the forges enough to hear about every word there is for fire and you know what it sounds like when someone gets burned bad. The shriek is barely identifiable as Draconic for 'fire' and the scream is cut off as suddenly as it started. Sounds like someone got a kobold a little toasty.
Apparently, your prey can't stand the waiting. Two kobolds stand up from where they were hiding, slings already spinning, and they release a pair of stone at you. One flies over your shoulder and hits behind you with a loud *CRACK* as the second strikes you right in the chest with the same sharp report. You have just enough time to register no real pain from the strike before it engulfs you in smoke. Fortitude DC 12 or nauseated Behind you, you hear Laucian exclaim and begin coughing.
Gilgar's action, if he makes the save. If he fails the save, he's limited to move actions until the nausea wears off.
Gilgar |
Gilgar moves as quickly as he can up to the two kobold stone-slingers, and howls with glee as he swings with the intent of killing the kobold on his left in such a fashion as to cause sudden, unexpected death to all its kin as well.

Spear 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 111d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
The arrow is a little high and misses its target.
You hear Perrin's growls becoming more insistent, but you know from the tone that he's hunting - he feels he will take what he's stalking, but he hasn't found it yet. Both of your foes move toward you; the first straight down the trench, the second attempting to climb the side to your level and failing. They are now 5' away (but below you) and 10' away.
You hear the sound of two arrows taking flight to your left again. One sounds like it disappeared into the underbrush, but one was accompanied by a sudden intake of breath and the clatter of something falling.
The kobold you hit has reconsidered his role in this combat and tries to exit stage rear. Withdraw action, no AoO His friend tries to get you with his spear, missing, before retreating. He provokes an AoO for his departure.
Gilgar's AoO and regular attack against #2 unless he prefers to run down #1, of course.

Nox will quickly twitch his fingers causing the ball to roll up the trench down the edge and drop down between them. The sphere is 5 foot in diamete, so with them being 5 feet apart, the fire damage should affect them both, I think
He will then draw back and let fly once more at the front kobold if he remains standing, the rear if not.

It's with little ceremony that the last kobold slides back to the center of the trench and flees, trying to climb up the side just as it turns from sight. Call it 40'
To your left, you hear the crash of someone trying to rush through the underbrush. Once more, arrows fly to your left, ending the crashing through the vegetation.
The badly-wounded kobold manages about three more steps before looking over his shoulder at you. As he does, his eyes roll up into his head and he slumps to the ground, breathing raggedly.
As each of you face your respective opponents, you hear Perrin's growl turn into a snarling bark and Laucian cries out in pain. A moment later, he mutters some arcane syllables and the cry you hear is reply is one of frustration - the voice seems familiar, but you're not sure who it might be.
Gilgar's turn!
Pixie Rogue |
Nox is up!

The fleeing kobold finally makes it up the slope and disappears into the brush with nary a backward glance.
Perrin's covered. I'll have you play him when you can see what he's up against.

Perrin scores a vicious bite on the little warrior, but fails to pull him off his feet.
Graymoon comes quietly into view behind the kobold, sword in hand, and delivers a nasty cut. As the kobold raises his greatclub to swing down at the wolf's head, the elf's curved blade comes in under the kobold's right arm and passes cleanly between two ribs and cuts very deeply. The creature's forgotten club falls behind him, narrowly missing the elf, as he falls, eyes already rolling back in his head. He's not quite dead, but he's not far from it.
Laucian's assailant stands there blinking as her eyes clear themselves of the effect of the ray he hit her with. Seeing you come into view, she snarls and leaps toward Laucian. Positioning him between the two of you, she attacks him, but the fates intervene - the only time she gets close, his quarterstaff is all she makes contact with.
Then another snarl, some other animal, followed by a panicked yell from the mage Laucian. But his is not a cry of pain yet.
Gilgar's go. Nox has a move action to rejoin the group, then we are out of spoilers.
Gilgar |
Gilgar takes the shortest path available to get within striking distance of the snarling wolf-girl. Gritting his teeth, he lets go of all restraint (RAGE!!!), wildly attacking the creature as a primal scream lunges forth from him.
