Norton slashes into a mite, which yelps in pain but does not fall...
Green charges up beside Norton and buries his axe in the dirt next to the mite...
Furiel's fire engulfs the mite leader's tick mount which screeches horribly in pain and rage..
Mikmek moves around Ta'de-win and swings the bone at a mite on the wall..
Attack roll:
Damage roll:
Ta'de-win moves for a better view to strike another of the mites. "It would seem there are many of the creatures in this hive."
The leader's mount gets knocked back by Ta'de-win's blast ..the leader growls out something to the others... the mites on the wall by Norton and Mikmek leap into action .. two go for Norton's legs, while one leaps at his head and brings him to the ground .. the fourth scampers away from Mikmek and fires a sling bullet at him, knocking him staggered... it then turns its attention toward Norton and his light source/shield as well.
The mite by Rogar's feet tries to bite him, but fails to get through his armor.. The one on the wall next to him leaps on Rogar, trying to bring him down as well, but fails to do so.
The leader hurls his little trident at Green .. it breaks the skin but does little damage..
One of the mites dashes for the magick'd bullet shielding its eyes from the glow as he goes, and then drops on top of it. Turning the far end of the room dark again.. The last of the mites surrounding the leader scamper along the walls toward Norton as he falls ...
Norton will start speaking to have the others fight more unite
"Norton, stay as flat to the ground as you can, I am going to hose your side down and try to miss you."
Furiel steps up (K8) and launches a color spray (DC15 Will) over the left side of the room. Knowing mites are small, he aims it just above the prone Norton affecting K9-11;J10-11;L10-11.
Under normal circumstances, The Green Man might have shaken of his rage now to see to the wounded, but the inefectual yet infuriating attack on his person eggs him on further and he directs another attack at the nearest mite.
You hear Norton's words and somehow feel more confident in your abilities as a fighting force..
Green's axe destroys the mite.. it falls broken into the chasm..
Furiel cone of brilliant colors makes the mites surrounding Norton screech.. two of them drop.
Mikmek stumbles away to the south wall and collapses.
Rogar fights on, resolute to see these horrible little monsters break before the might of a swordmaster.

Damage roll:
"Ta-De Win, help get the ones on Norton so he can stand up."
Ta'de-win spares a glance back at the kobold Green had freed. "It's up to his will to survive until we drive these creatures back." She then turns and contines summoning the storm against the creatures at Furiel's direction.
A mite falls from Rogar's blow.. another get smacked against the wall from Ta'de-win's blast..
The leader looks like he is having a tantrum - shrieking at his flock, and pointing toward Norton. Two of the conscious mites near Norton try futilely to pry the glowing shield from him.. while the one closest to Furiel turns to him and whips a sling bullet toward the gnome.. hissing as it misses its target.
"Norton, wait a bit and you can probably stand up. We can down some more around you."
Norton attacks the not stunned mite in front of him
Furiel tosses his last alchemist fire at the tick.
His anger temporarily sated, and feeling that he may in fact be in the way, The Green Mans' shoulder slumps as he falls back to tend to the kobolds wounds.
Norton's sword goes wide of the mite..
The mite leader's mount screeches again from Furiel's vial of alchemist's fire. The tick looks to be in bad shape, but still stands..
Mikmek's start eyes come back into focus again after Green's healing. "I will return to battle in a moment, green shaman. My wounds will heal .. will complete quest. Must complete quest..."
"The storm will not listen to me much longer. I'll try summoning an ally to aid us." Ta'de-win starts a summoning.
Acrobatics check:

Damage roll:
As soon as your feet leave the air you know you are not going to make it across.. although there is a chance you will be able to grab the other side.
"Quit being so stubborn, let us deal with this! If you die then the quest will remain unfinished. WE do not even know what it is."
Dexterity check:
Falling dooooown:+=3
Edit: this is pretty incredible... good the dice roller hates me so much in this case...
You fall with a squish. Luckily, since you slid down the far wall, you landed about as well as you could. The stench is overwhelming .. the crevasse filled with rotting reds and broken bone... miniscule black dots swarm away from the light, and tiny centipedes wriggle into the carrion... you see the bulging eyes of the mites in the dark - the edge of your vision. You turn and look with the light from your blade and they are not there .. you need to get out ..
You see Rogar leap. He reaches for the far edge but cannot grab hold. He slides down out of sight, but after a moment, you can see the light from his sword move.
The two mites on Norton continue to harass him, and try working together to take his shield from him..
The mite leader sees Rogar fall and urges his mount in after him...
The leader and his tick-like mount drop in beside you .. the mount's leg's buckle a bit from the landing, but it lurches forward and bites into your shoulder.. and does not let go.. you feel your blood being sucked from the wound.
The mite across the chasm who had been covering the glowing sling bullet, has now gotten hold of it. He sits up with dim blue-tinged light seeping out his closed fist.
The Green Man decides he must aid Norton, unsure if the battle might have taken a decided turn for the worse or not.
Again, from his prone position, Norton tries to strike the knocked out mite in front of him
"C'mon guys, we are on the verge, push a little harder and, like a tide, we will wash them away"
Furiel takes a crossbow shot at the leader's mount.
Norton and Green both miss their targets...
Furiel's bolt skips ineffectively off of the tick mount...
Mikmek follows Green's command, and stays seated.
The leader is in the chasm with Rogar, in order to get the shot you would have to have moved to the edge. (M N or O,11)
Ta'de-win completes her summoning and summons an animal to assist Norton. With this completed, she turns her attention to the mite that is currently holding her sling bullet, and blasts him with another Storm Burst.
Rogar fails to get an effective blow against the leader's tick mount ..
The summoned dog bites one of the conscious mites in the neck, doesn't break the skin, but crushes it's throat with a sad squeak..
The far mite holding the sling bullet looks around deciding what to do when he gets knocked out by Ta'de-win's blast.
The mite leader grins evilly at Rogar, waves bye bye, then hops into the carrion, worming his way in...
The tick quivers, and rocks gently as it continues to drink Rogar dry.
The mite hanging on the wall near the chasm sees its leader flee. He yips something to the others, then tries to climb away. The other conscious mite follows his lead..
Damn...again? Well, at least Ser Ambrosi can get up now.
"Oh no, I'm trying to shoot the tick."
Seems like it could work this time...
"D'You see? The tide is moving" Norton stands up at last.
The tide has indeed turned again.. Norton stands. Just a couple knocked out mites at his feet.
Furiel's bolt pierces the already crispy brainpan of the tick feeding on Rogar, and pinning him to the wall.. it slowly slides to the 'ground', spraying an arc of Rogar's unconsumed blood on the wall of the chasm.
Now free of the tick, you see the leader - who had burrowed into the carrion - has emerged, and is climbing up the north side of the chasm..
While more than a little shaken by the thick onslought, Rogar keeps going, fuelled by an almost insane rage. Seeing the mite chief, who derisively saluted him mere seconds before run away, he jumps on his feet and charges after him.
