"I assume they are going to follow..."

Zoltan casts bless.

Any actions to take before team kobold takes its next turn? Feel free to move yourself on the map of the room you are currently in, slide 2, or move into another room.

I am not even sure where we are positioned lol.

I moved up the second slide so you can position yourselves there.

Will wait until Mira positions her token before I position Lenna. Lenna will be in a position at least 30 ft from her and that allows her to message everyone.

And also move her this turn.

It'll be this evening gmt before I get to edit slides. Feel free to suggest a position for Sunreturn.

Mira is very busy IRL right now so any ally should feel free to position her. She's certainly willing to help with whatever fight or flight occurs but probably won't be able to post much.

So far only Zoltan has taken his action. I'm going to take team kobold's team on Monday so if you want to take an action this round, declare it now. Anyone may bot Mira.

I'm not certain which doorway in the second slide we entered the HQ from. I would like to place both Sunreturn and Mira next to it. I've currently guessed.

I moved everyone except Sunreturn who is still by the door. If you are not satisfied by the position, feel free to change it.

I moved Mira back to the centre. She can move in to assist as needed.

Isn't there a statue?

Ah yes. I had forgotten that. I've moved it in front of the door so that Sunreturn can stab.

Is Sunreturn and Zoltan going to move or something?

The south wall/door of slide 1 (HQ) forms the north wall/door of slide 2 (the statue room).

Sunreturn waits near the door. At least, that's my intention.

Wait, I thought the door is 25 ft

Where exactly is the door? The left or the centre?

The north wall of the statue room opens up to a 25 ft wide doorway in the middle of the wall, revealing the boss room on slide 1.

Cheers. I've moved statue, Sunreturn, and Mira near the doorway. Depending on how large the statue is, Sunreturn has cover or concealment.

Btw, can we position statue? And is it high enough to block the doorway?

You can drag the statue. It's heavy but Sunny and Mira can handle it. It's not wide enough to block a 25 ft opening when they open their side of the wall. But you can make it a little harder by blocking the middle.

How high is the doorway?

Statue in middle now?

What I mean is the statue good enough to block the entrance height-wise? Sorry for being vague.

Statue is 8 ft tall entrance is 10 ft so yeah pretty good.

If Mira still have time...

Mira will cast longarm on herself.

That is assuming that she still have time after moving the statue.

5 ft stepping, Lenna readied to cast boosted accelerate on Mira if she sees an enemy this turn.

Yes that'll be fine. I'll take team kobold's action later today. Busyish morning.

If Lenna have time, she will also use a scroll of invisible on herself before readying her action to cast boosted acceleration on Mira when she sees an enemy.

Sorry you only have 1 round here. Mira's was fine since she could help Sunny move the statue as a move action. Enemy actions coming in a couple hours.

Then, she will take out a scroll of remove fear with her move action, 5 ft step and readied action to cast boosted accelerate on Mira.

The door opens and the great white creature comes zooming through it as if it had built up quite a bit of momentum, waiting for the exact moment! But it didn't count on the statue. It tries to swerve aside and fails. In rage, it opens its great max and unleashes a blast of ice on Mira (30 cold damage)! The kobolds on their towers unleash small bolts of force striking Zoltan (13) and Lenna (12) with surprising power! The ancient kobold raises her staff and calls forth a ball of lighting that flies into Lenna, requiring a her to dodge out of the way! Three kobold warriors step up. One of them trips sunreturn while the other two stab him! 23 piercing damage.

DC 15 reflex save or 9 damage Lenna. Everyone, GO!

Sunreturn touches his fingers together, stabs at a kobold, and steps to his left.

LoH, stab left-most kobold, move 5ft west

LoH: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18

Longspear, PA: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 2 = 20

Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 6 = 14

Sunny, remember that you are prone. You can't 5 ft step. You can take that attack with a -4 penalty for being prone and stand as a move action, accepting AoOs, then 5 ft step. What would you like to do?

Damn, I missed that Sunreturn got tripped. I'll attack from prone, get up and move.

Zoltan casts Bull's strength on Sunreturn.

Zoltan, that's a touch spell. You'll have to move close to Sunreturn if you want to cast it. Watch out! Those kobolds have longspears and their limbs seem abnormally lanky!!

You begin to feel something strange and unpleasant as you see the Crucible in the distance begin to glow with power. The life force begins draining out of you and into your scaly opponents! This must be the same powerful magical snare that trapped the life from the surrounding countryside and funneled it into fuel this reptilian horde. The dwarves made a grave mistake when they accepted Kurtulmak's designs. Driven by desperation, you surge forward to take the fight back to your enemies!

Boosted by Lenna, Mira turns into a monstrosity of scale and claw herself! She surges forward and tears the dragon to pieces, moving too fast to see.

Sunny proves indomitable as he heals himself again and again to withstand the blows of the kobold spearmen and strike them down one by one.

Lenna dances around the battlefield, moving her allies about and turning them invisible, leaving the kobolds never certain of where danger will come from next.

Zoltan's powers imbue his allies with might beyond their wildest wishes as his ability to bend the laws of physics tears the enemy spellcasters apart in flame.

Finally, only the ancient kobold remains. Seeing you standing triumphant over the bodies of her followers, she chuckles slightly and speaks in broken common. "Fools. You think you win? You maybe stop us but you never leave Darkstone alive!!!" She pulls out her own ceremonial dagger and plunges it into her breastbone as she falls back upon the artifact.

A flash of green light blinds you and the ground shakes. You hear stones crumble all around. But when your vision clears, you see debris pelting off a wall of force in front of you. Your old friend "Granny" stands in front of you chuckling with her hand outstretched to create the wall. "Well dearies... it seems you did good after all... very good... who wants to go back to my cottage for some cookies?"

Sunreturn looks upon the scene, still surprised at surviving the battle.

"That was the Crucible exploding? Thank you for the wall. And I would love some cookies."

"Cookies? Why yes, that is exactly what I need right now!"

Granny snaps her fingers and you disappear from Darkstone, reappearing in her kitchen. She curses at some utensils and pans which immediately begin flying about while she goes to a back room. A few minutes later, she comes back and checks the oven. Then she walks to you carrying a platter heaped with chocolate cookies in one hand a platter heaped with platinum in the other.

Sunreturn, feeling quite peckish, goes for the cookies first. After chomping on a fistful, he clears his mouth, and says:

"These are tasty. The damaged Blackwood near Darkstone needs healing. I will go there soon."
