I think we lost Jocarra at some point.

Corrin runs forward and sends a bolt of light at the oncoming kobold warrior.

Moving to 11H and using Chaos Bolt on K2. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Just had a quick look back and unless I missed another one, her last post was on july 23 on p8.

I'll DMPC for now. And will faze her out after this adventure. Posts to come later... Live game today

Hey guys, I feel terrible that my posting has been lacking lately. Work has been quite busy for me considering that I'm working for a promotion as well as it being time to prepare for holiday season. My sister has also been sick so I've been taking care of her kids, because I have limited time to work with in a play by post basis currently I feel that it will be best for me to drop out of this game and a couple of my other games to help keep them alive for your sake, in addition to giving me more time to keep my own game alive and kicking. It has been completely wonderful gaming with you and I hope that we can play together in other games once my schedule has opened back up some. Thanks again for having me.

Also, I know some of you are doubled up in my other games so I'm sorry if this note is somewhat cookie cutter I just wanted to make sure I got all the information to everyone involved.

Corrins bolt goes array and plops into the green glowing goop. Jocarra and eclipse move further in the room.

Kronag advances, sling awhirl, then lets fly at his kobold counterpart.

Move to I10. Disheartening Strike on slinger vs AC. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 On hit, target is rattled, -2 to attacks TEOMNT

With a combat yell, Lareth lunges at the nearest Kobold striking him back.

move to G7, and Tide of Iron on K1 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 damage and I'll push him to E6 and follow up into F6 and he will be marked.

Kronag moves up and beans the kobold between the eye!

Adrana moves up near Kronag and whiles for Bruno to follow.

Lareth moves into combat. As he brings his attack against the skrimisher a pot flies from behind a closed portcullis (line dividing g5 and g6).

Glue Shot 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 vs Reflex; Immobilized (save
ends).

The pot shatters covering the warrior in a sticky mess,

Designed to bar large creatures the skirmisher behind it easily passes through and jabs at Lareth.

Spear 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17; Miss

Seeing an opening in his defenses Lareth's target strikes

Spear 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8; Miss

Lareth scimitar strikes true on one of his attackers, and before it can react he slams it with his heavy shield. It flies into the next square, Lareth on it's tail.

Which, sadly, won't take effect for a good, long while.

Brazimal begins weaving a more complicated spell hoping to end this fight faster.

Cast Sleep centered on D9. Should hopefully catch both S and K2. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 vs Will. On a hit target is slowed, save ends. If the target fails its first saving throw against this power, the target becomes unconscious, save ends. On a miss the target is slowed, save ends. Then move back to K9.

Both kobolds yawn as the magical sleep crawls over them, but to the young mages surprise both seem to shake off the effects.

Yawning K2 moves along the side room, weapon at the ready, while the slinger loads another shot.

Sling vs Brazimal 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9, miss

The shot goes low and skips along the floor

"Go" Jocarra motions for Eclipse to strike. The snake appears near Lareth and attacks the new skirmisher

Staler's Strike on K3 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 vs Fort; Damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13, until the end of next turn, Eclipse can be used to flank.

The skirmisher screams as the spectral snake leaps at it's face

Corrin grins from excitement as he sends another bolt of shimmering light at the approaching kobold.

Another Chaos Bolt at K2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Even, so secondary attack against S: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 You're kidding me! Another secondary attack versus K1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

The bolt veers off from the kobold and narrowly misses the slinger before colliding with Lareth's foe. (I assume)

Bump for justice!

Bump for justice!

Waiting on Corrin's results . . .

Corrin's bolt bounces about the room before stiking the skirimisher, sending into a jibbering frenzy.

Corrin the damage for the secondary attack is only 1d6 (no modifiers) not 1d10+8, unless you have an ability or feat that's letting you deal more damage.

Corrin the damage for the secondary attack is only 1d6 (no modifiers) not 1d10+8, unless you have an ability or feat that's letting you deal more damage.

Sorry, forgot that. Deals 1d6 ⇒ 2, or 6 damage if the +Dex damage applies.

Seeing Lareth flanked, Kronag runs to (what he thinks of as) the rescue, slamming his mace into the kobold.

Minor, stow sling. Minor, draw mace. Standard: Charge K1, moving to F7. Athletics check if needed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27. Basic w/2H mace: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Extra damage from furious assault on hit 1d8 ⇒ 8. Total 22 vs AC for 18hp to K1.

Kronag agility leaps over the edge of the pit, and brains the skirmisher. After being struck from Lareth, it's mind tormented by Corrin's energy blast, and now this. It's barely standing.

Not to be left out Adran and Bruno begin to encircle the skirmisher on the opposite side of the pool.

Adrana strikes out with her rapier hoping to distract the kobold from Bruno's side approach

Circling Strike 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27; Damage 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

the kobold screeches as the dog bites down on his leg.

"Killssss them!" The first slinger hisses

A shot from behind the portcullis aimed at the spectral serpent

Sling 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21; Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The shot pegs the snake in the certer of it's head. To the kobolds horror though it pass right through and plops into the glowing green gunk.

K3 strikes at Lareth hoping to bring down the warrior before the snake or the kobold turn their attention to him

Spear 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18; Damage 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (4) = 8

It then shifts behind the portcullis.

K1, panicked, swings at the half-orc before moving a safe distance

Spear 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 2 = 9; Damage 1d8 ⇒ 5

It's attack not only misses Kronag, but draws an attack from Lareth

Combat Challenge 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27; Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

His attack is more than enough to finish off the skirmisher.

Lareths blade swings through the Kobold before him and completes the circle of death, the momentum propelling him toward the slinger. You can joing ya mates in death too He says to him as he tries to strike home.

move to C9 (hoping theres no OA as he has a sling out) and strength of stone on the slinger while marking him. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 damage and I gain 2 temporary HP if hit.

Brazimal moves forward and flings a spell at two of the kobolds. Praying that her inexperience doesn't flub this spell too.

Move to G9. Scorching Burst on G4, since its a burst 1 it should hopefully hit both S2 and K3. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 vs Reflex on S2. 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 fire damage on hit (nothing on miss). 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 vs Reflex on K3. 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 fire damage on hit (nothing on miss).

Lareth pushes past the slinger. Leaving a large cut down it's torso.

A flast of light and the smell of something buring comes from behind the portcullis.

The skirimisher slashes at Adrana, and backs itself into the corner.

Spear 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17; Damage 1d8 ⇒ 5

Save vs Slow 1d20 ⇒ 11

Seeing the others in control of the situation, Jocarra turns her attention to the kobolds hiding behind the portcullis.

Haunting Spirit on K3 1d20 + 4 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 5 = 13; Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 psychic, and Kronag gains CA against K3 until the end of next turn.

Corrin fires another bolt at the remaining kobold he can actually see

Chaos Bolt vs K2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The skirmisher seems almost stunned from Corrins psychic assult. Still it seems capable of giving a fight.

Kronag steps up, taking cover by the wall, and attempts to swing his mace down when the kobold reaches any body part outside the portcullis.

Move to F6. Disheartening Strike vs K3, with CA, against superior cover, vs. AC 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 - 5 = 15 Sneak attack damage 1d8 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + (2, 1) + 8 = 15 and rattled on hit (-2 to attacks TEOMNT)

Kronag's attack is less than successful. The skirmisher snickers at the half-orc's attempt.

Adrana and Bruno both move in, hoping to finish off their kobold.

Synchronized Strike 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14; Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6; 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 vs Reflex; Damage 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Unfortunatly the cornered lizrd proves to agile for the duo.

Still recovering from the fact that it's attack had no effect on the snake, S2 launches another shot. This time at Jocarra.

Shot 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20; Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The shot nails the poor girl right between the eyes. She crumples over momentarily from the pain.

K3 slowly backs up the hall, "We holdsss them. They can cannot pass."

I'll help you Adrana Lareth says as he launches himself at the cornered Kobold.

move to E12 and standard for Strength of stone on K2. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 and I gain 2 temporary hit points

oh well that was a waste of an encounter power, think I like invisible castle better.

Brazimal scans the room and the area beyond the portcullis for a lever or switch with which to raise the portcullis. Not seeing anything immediately she moves to take cover from those behind the portcullis.

Perception 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1. Move to J8.

The skirmisher gurgles as Lareth puts the finishes touches to it. Brazimal, not seeing a way to lift the metal lattice, moves to safety.

Jocarra aatempts tp peer past the portcullis...

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

"There is a lever on the other side. We either need to send Corrin through the metal bars, as he'll fit, or we must bend them to get through."

Corrin walks over to the portcullis. "I'll get the lever. Now, will you two just get out of my way!" With that, an unseen force lashes out at the kobolds, hopefully pushing them away from the lever.

Moving to G6 and using Bedeviling Burst, pushing/sliding them as far away from the lever as I can.(vs Will, push 4, slide on odd attack roll) 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

1d10 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Corrin violently shoves the skirmisher into the wall. The slinger somehow manages to hold it's ground and dodge his flying friends body.

Kronag moved to F6 last turn.

Kronag switches weapons back to his sling, and prepares to attack as soon as he can get a good angle.

Two minors to switch weapons, Ready Deft Strike as soon as the situation is such that moving two squares will get him a good line on a target.

Kronag readies a shot. Adrana and Bruno head toward the left side of the pool ready to delve deeper.

The slinger panics. It looses a shot against the halfling and begins to run down the northern hall.

Sling 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16; Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7\

K3 rubs it's aching head and hisses at it's fleeing comrade. It grips it's spear tight, takes a step forward, and readies for whatever comes.

"Ow!"

I just realized, anything keeping Brazimal from just using Mage Hand on the lever?

"Ow!"

I just realized, anything keeping Brazimal from just using Mage Hand on the lever?

I think the fact that she didn't notice the lever is holding her back... Not the most perceptive tiefling out there.

Lareth moves forward sheathing his scimitar and drawing a javelin

move to E7, minors to sheath and draw weapons.

Heh, but of course now that she knows about them a simple perception check can allow her to use Mage Hand on the lever

Brazimal moves up and looks for the lever Jocarra saw in the hopes she can use her magic to open the portcullis.

Move to F7 and Perception 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0. If she finally sees the lever, then I use Mage Hand on the lever. "Kronk pull the lever! Wrong lever!!!"

Corrin shrugs and steps through the portcullis and attempts to fry the kobold with a gout of flame.

Shifting to G5 and using Burning Spray on him. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Move to F7 and Perception 1d20-1. If she finally sees the lever, then I use Mage Hand on the lever. "Kronk pull the lever! Wrong lever!!!"

Again she proves she's not the eyes of the group

Jocarra waits impatient for Corrin to raise the portcullis.

Corrin easily steps between the metal gate and fries the last skirmisher.

Delay. Not much to do until either the portcullis comes up or an enemy steps into LOS.

Corrin lifts the lever and with it the portcullis. The slinger apparently dashing down the hallway.

Out of combat

Lareth will change weapons to his scimitar again and move down the new passage to the corner and peek around it to look for the kobold.

Peeking around the corner Lareth notices stair heading down into to the darkness. In the dark you hear the light clacking of what must be the kobolds claws against the cold ground. The sound soon ends and the room becomes errily quiet.

Lareth then moves quickly to the top of the stairs, eagerly peering down hoping to find the escaped reptile.

Kronag follows Lareth. "C'mon, gang," he whispers loudly to the rest.

Brazimal stalls for a moment looking at the portcullis lever wondering how she could have missed it, before heading after the others.
