Will and his loyal mount both attack the lizard-man in front of them.
Will's club misses, but James sinks his teeth in to their foe. Rehil finishes the lizardman off with a slash from his curveblade.
Cole’s head whips around at Vaard’s shouted warning, and he lets out a rumble of frustration.
… which he promptly vents by throwing every ounce of his anger into a powerful blow on the lizard-man next to him. Then he trumpets a quick response in draconic before lumbering back towards and off the edge of the cliff. He slams down hard, but continues rushing towards the canoes.
Cole hits the lizard-warrior hard and sends it reeling. Assuming that the job is done he steps back to aid Portforged and Vaard. But this lizardman is certainly tough. He gets off his knees and swipes at the warforged, helping propel Cole off the cliff.
The lizard-warrior then aims to push Nalverren off the cliff to follow Cole.
The other warrior desperately strikes out at Rehil.
Well, looks like i am going off of a cliff...
Nalverren's foot slips as he is pushed back, and the camera pans to his heel as a few pebbles are pushed off the edge and fall down near the warforged below. Sensing his disadvantage, he slides to the left and counterattacks the lizardfolk with his swordcane.
Free: 5ft step to E13
Standard: Attack L1
Portforged attempts to immobilize the shaman by sapping its personality.
The poisondusk shaman quickly shakes off Poertforged's psychic incursion.
The shaman snarls as Wultram's necromantic pulse hits it, and the crocodile hisses. It then yells an instruction, pointing at Wultram, before urging its reptilian mount on.
Arrows begin to arcing in towards Wultram.
The poisondusk shaman reaches the bank. It reaches out with its still-burning hand to touch the skeleton whil the crocodile lurches at Vaard. The skeleton swipes at the poisondusk but misses.
The skeleton promptly falls to bits but despite having his legs chewed up by the crocodile, Vaard somehow remains conscious.
Vaard hisses with pain. It overwhelms his sensibilities as he tries to pull free. Failing and panicking, he forgets his morning star and bites and gouges at the lizard holding him.

Vaard: 2 Claws / +4 to hit / damage 1d4+3 each and Bite / +2 to hit / damage 1d4+1
Grappled: A grappled creature is restrained by a creature, trap, or effect. Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler's CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.
Edit: With those rolls it didn't matter what I chose.
Vaard flails at the crocodile but it holds him fast.
"Nalverren!
Darkness Below! I thought Cole would finish the lizard.
... 18–20/×2 (Two Handed)
Edit: Unbelievable!
Will and his faithful mount dart in and lash out at the looming lizard-man with club and tooth.
Cole’s long legs eat up the ground as he bears down on the crocodile and its rider, another wordless battle cry ripping the air as the war maul whistles towards the crocodile’s maw.
If only I hadn't rolled a 2 to hit.
Will and James bring the big lizard-warrior low.
Will and James bring the big lizard-warrior low.
Rehil parries the lizardfolk's club in turn. Then he has to jerk back from the Saurian jaws.
"Where are the others?"
We have just one more to go on this side I'll try and save Ashstar's life in a few seconds says william after the lizard falls to the combined attack of the hafling and his animal compagnion
Nalverren moves to C11 to flank the remaining enemy in his area, and attacks.
crit confirm!?
"No way is this ending in the death of one of ours!"
In spite of its wounds and depleting mental energy, Portforged attempts once more to roast the shaman:
Nalverren crashes through the bushes to catch the lizardman unawares.
would i be able to expend inspiration points to confirm the crit?
if not, no biggie.
Inspiration (Ex): An investigator is beyond skilled and knowledgeable—he also possesses keen powers of observation and deduction above and beyond the abilities of others. An investigator typically uses these powers to aid in their investigations, but can use these flashes of inspiration for other situations.
An investigator has the ability to augment skill checks and ability checks through his brilliant inspiration. The investigator has an inspiration pool equal to 1/2 his investigator level + his Intelligence bonus, minimum 1.
As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check (including any he takes 10 or 20 on). This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed. An investigator can only use inspiration once per check or roll. The investigator can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without spending a use of inspiration, provided he’s trained in that skill.
Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, though at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration from the investigator’s pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action.
The last lizardman slumps down.
Portforged hits the shaman square in the chest, but he fails to maintain the intensity of heat he managed with the blackscale.
The shaman shrieks and yells another order to the archers.
The archers rain arrows on the two arcanists.
As Wultram falls, the shaman chirrups with triumph. The shaman casts a spell, a sword made of fire erupting in its hand. The crocodile squeezes Vaard in its jaws before dropping his bloodied body and surging at Portforged.
William will cast a on Ashatar
James will double move move with william on his back right next to E22
Cole closes the distance, trying to find some cover from the archer in the melee as he swings the war maul in a vicious overhanded chop down onto the crocodile's maw.
When Nalverren finishes the last lizardman, Rehil wheels and briefly engages in a losing race with Will and James. The elf pulls up at the cliff's edge to look over the situation. His eyes brighten at the sight of the shaman. He drops his sword. Forgive me, noble blade, but we are not fleet enough for this foe.
His bow slides over his head and off his shoulder. His fingers feel for the metal fletching of the rune-marked steel arrows.
....
Edit:Holy snake scales, Batman! Stay calm, Robin.
....
Ashshar sits up groggily as Will heads down the slope and Rehil to the cliff edge. Rehil grabs one of the magic arrows they found and unleashes, the arrow thudding into the shaman's chest. The little creature is saved only by its armour.
Cole charges up and hits the crocodile a mighty blow on the snout, making it roar.
to go at 1/2 speed
James has a 50ft move (so a double move is exactly 50ft for him) ending up exactly where i wanted him :)
