Liante loads her crossbow and shoots the gnome before it can get close.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Quin charges forward and unleashes the souls of the damned to assault both gnome and lizard alike...

color spray

Argent will strafe close to the corner where the gnome stuck it's head out. If Liante doesn't put it down, he'll attack the gnome if not, he'll wait for something hostile to come around the corner.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Unable to clearly see their adversaries yet, Leiaf shields his eyes from the cacophony of spirits unleased by Quinn and waits for an opening.

Holding action until after the gnomes.

If charged
Braced Spear: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14
Dmg: 2d8 - 2 ⇒ (6, 7) - 2 = 11

If not attacked, Leiaf, will run forward and attack any foes that were muddled by Quinn's spell with frostbite.
Frostbite vs touch ac: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9
Dmg (non-lethal): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3+fatigued

Apologies. Updates didn't want to show :(

Vrek breaks into song, while he'd prefer to hide and then strike, he must confess others will likely find it useful for the edge he brings.

For some reason Voltaire's song 'It's so easy when you're evil' comes to mind

+1 to hit and dmg.

He also readies to strike any foe that comes into range
To hit if that happens, bard song included 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Liante fires a bolt at the gnome but it dodges out of the way. Quin moves up and sprays the gnome with multiple colors; spell resistance:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 however, it doesn't seem to affect the gnome. Argent moves up and swings his sword at the gnome but it dodges out of the way. Vrek starts up a song that empowers his brothers and sisters. Leiaf readies his spear against the gnome coming toward him.

Shelquet is up

Shelquet moves up behind Argent and readies her dagger.

The gnome steps back and waves his hand at Argent. sr check1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 Argent make a DC12 fort save. On failure, you are blind You hear more commotion down the hall.

Round 2. everyone is up

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Argent throws his hands to his face and grunts in frustration.

I'm blind!

Liante silently watches her siblings and her hands move quickly, casting a spell over them all.

Moment of greatness. Everyone gets Double morale bonus (inspire) for 1 roll. I suggest your next attack roll.

Vrek hears Argent cry out, and races towards him. He fires a bow at his foe while he does.

To hit, Liante buffed bonus included with bard: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Dmg if that hits: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Leif grabs one of the stone vials and quaffs it one handed, careful not discharge his touch spell, then ducks behind the crates for cover. Argent! Follow my voice!

Shelquet calmly looks at Argent clutching his face. Oh my, wonderful. Well, time to test out my blood and see how well it works I suppose. Maybe the the little sack of flesh will scream a bit as it burns? I haven't had any entertainment in a while. She takes out a vial of her blood, uncorks it to add a pinch of Demonfire Cap spores, and recorks it. She shakes it for a moment and throws it, arcing it over the Gnome's head so the splash will burn it from behind and not damage her sibling.

Bomb throw against grid space behind the Gnome, DC5: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Using a Bomb on the space behind the Gnome and hitting it with splash damage, totaling 6 fire damage.

As the Gnome begins to burn and screams in pain I would presume?, Shelquet smiles under her veil. Ah, so they do scream? How very amusing. And now more come? They will all burn and then I will see if their internal configurations are congruous with ours. If so, then we shall put them to good use.

Shelquet: Vivisectionist give up the bomb ability of the Alchemist and instead have the sneak attack ability of the rogue. I'll let you ditch the vivisectionist archetype if you wish, otherwise, you need a different action.

Drat, it's been so long I forgot! I move and attack the Gnome.

Shelquet's Attack and Damage Rolls, sneak attack if applicable: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 11d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Argent exclaims, "I'm blind!" to which the gnome smirks. Liante casts a silent spell that boosts everyone with confidence; however briefly. Vrek moves up beside Argent and fires at the gnome but hits the wall behind him. Leiaf downs a dose of the gnome's bane and hides behind the crates before calling to Argent, "Argent! Follow my voice!" Shelquet moves up and tries to stab the gnome but swings wide.

The gnome swings his sword at Shelquet. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6; however, he stumbles and then move back down the tunnel. You hear some commotion from the main tunnel but do not see any reinforcements coming.

Round 3: everyone is up!

Vrek tries once more to hit the nimble gnome To hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Dmg if that hits: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

I wonder if we've somehow displeased our demonic patron? Maybe we should sacrifice this prisoner to make nice? Ah, who can tell.

Argent does his best to make it to Leiaf.

Vrek fires at the gnome but misses. Argent stumbles back into the storage room and falls to the ground after getting behind one of the walls.

Shelquet, Leiaf, Liante, Quin are up!

That swing was quite inefficient in hindsight. Now that there are a group of the Gnomes closing in, perhaps it is time to test out that concoction... Shelquet retrieves a syringe from her pack, filled with glowing red blood. She sticks it in her neck and injects the fluid. She drops the syringe and convulses for a moment, her blood glowing in her veins like molten lava and her dead white eyes cloud over with a fiery glow. Her midnight skin takes on a glossy sheen like blue-tinted obsidian and appears to thicken slightly. Her muscles grow taut, ready to respond at a moment's notice. Yes, it works perfectly! I feel a bit cloudy, as if I had drunk too much sporewine, but feelings and emotions are weak. The truest test of efficacy is in physical reactions and the changes in biology and morphology and those are most definitely present. Now, I can knife that Gnome, feel his blood pouring over my fingers like red hot ambrosia... no, no, focus Shelquet! Emotions are beneath you.

Choosing the +DEX, -WIS version of the Mutagen!

Liante loads and fires her crossbow, using the power of her spell she cast to improve her accuracy. It proves fruitless.

Inspired Moment Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

As Argent reaches him, Leiaf pulls him down behind the cover of the crates and hands him another stone vial. Drink this, it might help. And stay here until you can see. You're more likely to cut one of us than a gnome swinging that sword of yours around blind.

If there is still a gnome visible(GM's last post made it sound like it had ducked back into the corridor):
Leiaf pops up from behind the crates and fires a dart of acid at the ridiculously lucky luck gnome.

Acid dart vs touch AC: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

If no gnomes are visible:
Leiaf grabs a couple more vials then hops over the crates and runs over to Shelquet. He tries to hand her one, You should really drink this, sister, but is unsure if she understands in her current state of mind, then prepares to guard her flank if more gnomes come around the corner.

Shelquet injects herself with some concoction and begins moving quickly. Liante fires another shot but it bounces off the wall. Leiaf hands a vial to Argent before grabbing a few more vials and heading toward his sister.

Quin is up

Quin moves to Argent's side and warily prepares himself for the next attack of the gnomes...move action and holding standard

Argent will assume total defense until his sight returns.

Quin moves to beside Argent and readies to strike anyone that comes within range. Argent tries to ready himself but being blind doesn't quite have the effect he intends. total defense gives a dodge bonus to ac and being blind you lose your dex and dodge bonuses to ac

The gnome moves up and attacks Shelquet but she ducks to the side in her enhanced speed. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Round 4 everyone is up! And apparently, the dice roller hates the gnomes too.

discharge frostbite on the gnome attacking Shelquet
touch attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

"Anyone else feeling a mite foolish?" He strikes again.

To hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Edit: Possible crit? Wow!To confirm
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
If confirmed, extra dmg 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Leiaf charges forward and slaps the gnome across the face SR check:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 but the magic washes over the gnome without any effect. Liante fires a bolt that bounces off the shield of the gnome. Vrek fires a bolt and hits the gnome under the arm. no crit. 2 damage Shelquet moves up and attacks with his dagger slashing it across the face. 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2possible crit:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4nope Quin fires a ray of frost at the gnome striking it but the magic washes over the gnome Attack, SR, dam:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 81d3 ⇒ 3. Argent bunkers down and is trying to blink away the blindness. spellcraft:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The gnome stabs Shelquet in the thigh and backs away. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

round 5. Everyone is up! 48 hour rule is in effect

Since the gnome is backing away, Vrek risks casting a grease spell on the gnome's weapon. Ref DC 16

sorry for not posting earlier, I was waiting for Shel to go first (isn't Shel higher in the init order?)

Quin: everyone acts in the order they post with all pcs acting before the npcs. initiative order pretty much only matters for surprise rounds and round 1.

Seeing the gnome soak up magical attack after magical attack, Leiaf stabs at the little creature in frustration...

spear+ moment of greatness: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 2 = 5
dmg: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

...with equally fruitless results.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Liante chases after the gnome and fires another bolt at it.

If the blindness hasn't gone away, Argent continues as he is.

Vrek utters a eirie note and the gnome's weapon becomes covered in yellow slick 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 but the gnome keeps his grip. Leiaf moves up and attacks the gnome but his stab is easily swatted aside. Liante fires another bolt but the gnome raises his shield deflecting the bolt. Argent remains crouched behind the casks waiting for the blindness to wear off.

still waiting on Quin and Shelquet. round 5 continues

Quin unleashes another spell, a bolt of webbing designed to hopefully ensnare the gnome...

web bolt

Quin shoots a ball of web at the gnome1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 sticking it in place. Shelquet moves around the gnome to flank it with Leiaf AoO1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 61d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 41d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 but the gnome catches her in the side as she passes. staggered at -1 hp Shelquet is bleeding badly and takes her last breath to drink an infusion use cure light wounds infusion1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 which stops the bleeding.

Seeing the danger, the gnome tries to break free from the webbing 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 and is able to cut his way out and tries to run back toward its allies. AoO from Leiaf and Shelquet1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 171d8 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 21d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (2) + 1 = 4 As the gnome tries to run Shelquet and Leiaf skewer the gnome and it falls dead at their feet. With the gnome's death, Argent's sight returns.

Just as it seems the tides have turned, two more gnomes come around the corner with swords and shields drawn. Both look odd like you are looking at them through a thick syrup.

Round 6. Everyone is up!

Leiaf is spooked by the appearance of two more gnomes. He throws an acid dart at the closest one and falls back towards his siblings, urging Shelquet to follow

Standard action: Acid Dart(ranged touch): 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8
Move action: 20' move back towards Quinn (25' from Quin, 40' to gnomes)

Argent stands up, furious, not thinking straight about the potential consequences he charges the new gnomes.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Liante focuses on them. Detect Magic

Vrek notices the thick syrup look, "Ewww, I bet they're disgusting to touch." He says in exaggerated disgust and fires a short bow at which ever his sib isn't closing on first.

to hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Good thing he does a minimum of 1 point dmg there. Sheesh

Leiaf moves back and throws a blob of acid at the gnomes but misses his shot.
Argent, newly embolden, moves up and brandishes his blade there isn't a clear path to the gnomes and they are beyond a double move
Liante focuses her energy to determine if there is magic at work they are 65' away so I assume you move up 10'. 1st round of concentration: there are magical auras within the cone effect
Vrek fires a bolt but it bounces off the creatures shield.
Quin moves up and fires a ray of frost at the first gnome1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 171d3 ⇒ 11d100 ⇒ 50
Shelquet 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 downs another formula and lets her wounds heal. use cure light wounds formula

The gnomes level their swords at Shelquet and Argent 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 61d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 but their magic fails to penetrate your resistance.

Round 7. Everyone is UP!

Liante focuses on the Gnomes further.

Leiaf stands his ground and throws another acid dart as the gnomes pause in their advance.

Acid Dart at gnome 2: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Quin fires another ray at the blasted gnomes...

Argent takes another swing at the gnomes.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Liante continues to focus on the auras. Quin, Shelquet & Argent have two magical auras; Leiaf has one aura; the two gnomes each have an aura on them that is more powerful
Leiaf sends an acid dart at the gnome but hits the wall.
Quin sends a ray of frost at the gnome but it dodges out of the way.
Argent moves up and swings at the first gnome but the sword bounces off of its shield. attack on gnome 2
Vrek fires his bow at the other gnome attack on gnome 31d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 241d6 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 41d100 ⇒ 59 and the arrow slams into its shoulder.
Shelquet moves up and attacks the wounded gnome 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d100 ⇒ 98 but her dagger bounces off its shield.

The gnomes attack Argent and Shelquet 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 41d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 61d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 61d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 and Argent is slashed across his arm while Shelquet is able to dodge the attack.

Round 8. Everyone is up!

Apologies for missing that round above.
Round 8

Vrek fires again, trying to peg the wounded one

To hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
% if needed 1d100 ⇒ 99

Leiaf continues throwing acid darts over Argent and Shelquet's heads, trying to land one of the caustic missiles on the magically shifting gnomes attacking them.
