Hey, that was fun watching you guys fight the horrible dwarves. It was excruciating watching them claw me and not be able to do anything about it. Watching them tear my flesh...
Thanks for the heal Valriel!
Unfortunate you don't have the true blood of the elves your veins friend Azzakan. Then you would be immune to the biting and clawing of these foul ghouls. You are welcome for the healing; thus the investment in the wand. He smiles at you.
To the East, lets find the other kids and get out of this place!
There are still three children unaccounted for: Mikra, Jurin, and Hollin. You know from the halfling that Mikra and Jurin made it to this level but Hollin was felled by the kobold's paralytic poison and is most likely still held captive on the second level.
You open the double doors to the East: A ten-foot-diameter pit occupies the center of this chamber. Directly over the pit a long chain feeds through a complex pulley system before disappearing into the depths.
As you survey the room each of you notices the scaly forms of kobolds attempting to skulk about in the darkness. Noticing your notice they scream out in frustration and attack! Savram screams out in horror, Don't let them take me back! and runs out of the room through the doors to the South.
Moving forward I will use the first initiative roll for the entire combat sequence so you don't need to roll each round.
To everyone: Apparently we lost initiative. Might want to go first sometimes. Would like to roll iniiatve individually. I realize it takes time and slows game but might be very important in melee. I might need to bomb first or second. Chris I agree with your thinking but may affect play. I understand the wish to move the game forward. If no player rolls for iniative in 24 hours they are last to act?
.Savram is my buddy, just because I was useless and paralyzed does not mean he should run. If he runs he still has the dagger I gave him.
12 hours is better
here I go...
woohoo, I attack
doh!!
Well, at least I recover well.

Your action?
woohoo, I attack

New and improved critical fail chart:
1-AOO from all melee foes
2-Lose next round’s action
3-Weapon gains “broken” condition; -2 hit/damage
4-Weapon slips from grasp and out of reach
5-Deals 1d6 damage to self
6-minus 4 to AC next round
7-act last next round
8-minus 4 to any roll next round
Wow..never want to roll a one. Many things happen now and nothing is good. I assume a 20 is the same with positive results.
I make sure Savram is safe and ready my crossbow.
Jalriel gets a jump on the fierce looking kobolds but promptly spoils his attack by slipping on some discarded kobold trash. He ends so out of position that he won't get to attack till the end of next round!
The kobolds attack the party, trying to flank at every opportunity. Jalriel is hit once for 6 points and must save vs DC 16 poison or take an additional points of damage and points of Dex damage from the bitter burn of poison!
Azzakan, caught flat footed, is hit twice for a total of 9 points and must make TWO DC 16 poison saves or take worth of additional damage and of Dex damage.
Daedeloth and Variel combine their attacks and are able to drop one of the killer kobolds!
Azzakan readies his crossbow.
Savram continues to flee for his life.
Next round...
To Group: Azzakhan stinks as usual. But Azz will always Have a smile on his face.
Sucks being a flat footed Rogue. I hope I can flank next time. I defend the flank...
As long as Saveram gets out...

Everyone was caught flat footed except for Jalriel: Flat-Footed
A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, unable to react normally to the situation. A flat-footed character loses his Dexterity bonus to AC and Combat Maneuver Defense (CMD) (if any) and cannot make attacks of opportunity, unless he has the Combat Reflexes feat or Uncanny Dodge class ability.
Characters with Uncanny Dodge retain their Dexterity bonus to their AC and can make attacks of opportunity before they have acted in the first round of combat.

Any action this round?
Also need Jalriel's action so I can post the round.
Lost a point of dex...hope for the best.
Would like to protect the child but I cannot. Swing away
Who knew a kobolds were so tough to kill. I am down 12 and hoping to live at this point. Damn. What happens when we meet goblins...hopefully never an Owlbear....RUN
here goes
man, Kobolds are going to be my next favorite enemy!!!
...if I live...
here goes

You had better not double class as you now have a LONG list of future favorite enemies...
:)
Azzakan drops his crossbow and quickly pulling his short sword out stabs a kobold in the leg; he maneuvers into a position that foils the kobold's attempts at flanking the party members. Daedeloth and Variel both score cuts on their foes, but the scaled creatures remain standing.
Jalriel is hit twice for 7 points of damage and must make 2 saves against DC16 poison or take points of damage and points of Dex damage.
Azzakan is hit once for 1 point of damage and must make a DC16 save vs poison or take point of damage and point of Dex damage.
Next round...
...if I live...
You fail those poison saves and you will be a lot easier to hit!
To Kobolds: in draconian...lay down your weapons or feel your master's wrath!!!!!
I plunge my sword in to the one who did not comply with my wishes.
:)
alright
Jalriel resists the bitter sting of the poison, but loses focus on the fight and misses on his blade's stroke. Daedeloth is able to connect on another small blow but is unable to fell his foe.
The killer kobolds swarm savage strikes stabbing the stalwart!
Jalriel is hit twice for 9 points and must make 2 DC16 saves or take of poison damage and of Dex damage.
Azzakan is struck for 3 points and must make a DC 16 save or take of poison damage and of Dex damage.
Daedeloth is cut for 2 points of damage and must make a DC 16 save or take of poision damage and of Dex damage.
Next round...
No intimidation, tried something new. These killer kobolds have Thundar and Uklah's strength. Demon dogs!!!!!!!
[save]1d20 + 2[/dice]
1 point of damage and 3 more of dex
Hopefully this time
Since my intimidation did not work I drink an elixir before I die.

Intimidating is a standard action so you could do that or attack; not both.
It would have caused the second attack on Jalriel that round to miss. I'll let that action (and roll) stand for your action this round if you like; or it can stand for last round and your miss for this round. In which case Jalriel take off the 2nd attack from last round.
I prepare a bomb.

Throwing in melee gets you an AOO from the engaged kobolds.
AOO=ACRONYM I UNDERSTAND????

Attack Of Opportunity
Without my so called Mage armor and minus 1 because of dex loss, I still prepare a bomb. Nothing else I do works anyways. I shall meet my demise doing what makes me the happiest...building a bomb.

I think that's a single round action (bomb) so you can roll for it this round. Make sure to adjust for you decreased DEX and tell me who you are throwing it at as all the kobolds are in melee and the splash will probably catch some PCs.
I can't afford to take any splash damage ...
Calistria, guide my blade
wow, 4, or is that 5, misses in a row, don't think I'm surviving this one...
Still need clarification if Azzakan decided to intimidate the previous round or not. That would put him melee missing this round with a potential bomb to throw next round. Also, what's everyone's current AC with the DEX damage?
The bloody melee continues and Daedeloth is hit for 6 points and must make a DC 16 save or take points of poison damage and of DEX damage.
The tide begins to turn as Daedeloth and Variel both accurately strike killer kobolds dropping two of them; three remain!

That sir is some crap rolling indeed. Come on big blade!
Here comes some healing for all.
Exclude 4 of the dead/most injured kobolds.
Believe my AC=18 with dex damage.
