Achievement unlocked!

Jinx slices the rat apart It should be staggered, but it's our first crit... we'll give it a lil something extra, ending her completely surrounded state!

Red rat is down!

I believe you missed my crit in my action before last Dave

Nori reverses her swing and aims to cut the rat in 'twain.

Atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

And so I did; still against a rat, but Nori beat you Jinx! But that's two; updating the achievement!

Nori swings and misses once more, the rat being an agile foe. It tries to counter attack the ninja! Likewise, more spears are aimed at the little goblin!

Rat Gray bite @ Nori: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Damage on hit: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

And the wounded rat goes down!

No more rat brown!

Let's see if Darb can hold out much longer!

Darb makes a stabby.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Move up as well!

@Wakiyan: No move up if you 5' step to avoid rat AoO

Darb makes a minor stabby, further injuring the kobold he was chasing. The humans in the back sigh, seeing the lone goblin outnumbered, and currently outstabbed.

Darb's steel holds back the crude, yet effective spears of the kobolds! The rat next to Jinx fails to even reach her, the catwoman too fast for the mangy critter.

Meanwhile, as Nori dances with her rat, she sees more kobolds coming around; the same ones that ambushed her as she ran by! One of them slings a stone at her, konking her shin.

5ft step up one sq

And Jinx nearly fells another rat!

Rat blue is now staggered!

@Darb: You're flanking Green now!

atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 Nori attempts to finish off the rat in a hurry as she hears the kobolds scurrying down the tunnel. As she impales it on her weapon, she rips it out and takes off to help darb.

Huzzah!

The kobolds continue to try and wear down Darb!

Kobold Orange spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Kobold Gray spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 = 18
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Again, Darb continues to block and dodge the attacks at him.

Wakiyan releases a blast towards the last rat!

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Not sure if that's a hit or a miss. If a miss I am going to move around to try to provide flanking for Jix. If dead moving down the tunnel.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

All rats are slain!

Wakiyan then moves up to try and aid Darb.

Bah, highlighted the wrong people. Darb, you're up! And you have a flank with Nori against Kobold Green!

Darb attacks in the flank.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
sneak: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Darb hits, but does not finish off the target. More later, lots of attacks!

-Posted with Wayfinder

With Nori in position, Darb manages to shank a kobold, but not enough to fell it!

Once again the kobolds begin their attack, focusing on the annoying little goblin!

Kobold Black spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 2 = 23
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Crit Confirm @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 2 = 17
Extra damage on crit: 2d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 5) - 2 = 5
Kobold Yellow spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 2 = 15
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Kobold Green spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 = 18
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

One kobold aims for Darb's eye, but luckily the goblin turns his head, the speartip scraping along the skull instead, leaving a trail of blood dripping down the goblin's face. The other kobolds nearly strike him, too, only subtle turns of the body avoiding the strikes.

Now Wakiyan and Jinx see another trio of kobolds appear between then and the tunnel where Nori went.

Moving up to get the kobold attention
Wakiyan get to Darb. He probably needs you more right now. I'll keep these guys busy.

Attack the first one, assuming I'm still cramped

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 2 = 9
Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Jinx gets into position safely, but fails to land a blow.

Nori sprints up behind the green kobold. She grips her sword in both hands, bringing it down across the distracted minion's back. atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 snk atk: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Nori effectively dispatches her foe really, that kobold is D-E-D dead!, the other kobolds now looking onto the taller threat with worry.

A kobold steps into place from around the corner and stabs at the vishkanyan!

Kobold Orange stab @ Nori: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

The higher ground means the attack is horribly off.

Meanwhile, the wounded kobold Darb hunted squeaks in Draconic, "I shall keeeeeel you!", and stabs again at him!

Kobold Gray spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

His anger leads to an easy to duck attack!

In draconic, <b> I shall show you the meaning of death, by making your watch all your friends die, then I'll spend some time with you, slowly, afterwards. </b>

Darb attacks the kobold in the flank.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
damage: 1d3 - 1d6 ⇒ (2) - (1) = 11d1d8 ⇒ 3

"Looks like they are trying to close off the way."

Blasts the red Kobold, then moves up.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Stop dealing 5 damage to kobolds! either not kill them, or kill them, don't go straight in the middle :P

While Darb, in his rage, also misses horribly, Wakiyan sends another kobold to near lethal shivvers.

More kobold spears come out to the party as multiple melees ensue!

Kobold Black spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Kobold Yellow spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Kobold Blue spear @ Jinx: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Darb's agility is still saving his life, while both Wakiyan and Jinx take minor scratches to their sides.

The kobold Wakiyan injured runs back single action withdraw, due to staggered, yipping in Draconic.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 2 = 9
Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 2 = 5
Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

There you happy? I didn't kill them

Wakiyan, shouts out "Nori, Darb you guys alive and up there?!?"

Best use of lethal damage in a non-lethal way ;P

Well, even if you did hit both times, it wouldn't have been 5 damage, so yes :)

"I think we've got this!" She looked back to find another kobold between herself and drab. She gave a shrug and drew back to cut him down as well. atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 snk atk : 1d6 ⇒ 2

Kill streak forming!

Nori slices another kobold down, the pair of unmoving bodies getting to the others in the cave.

The kobold on Darb continues to try and stab him!

Kobold Gray @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Without the distraction on the other side, Darb grins menacingly as he avoids yet another strike aimed at him!

Wakiyan hearing things are OK, steps back and blasts the Kobold in front of .

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Wakiyan's has the kobold chill out and nearly does so!

Daaaarb!

Darb attack again in the flank

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
sneak: 1d8 ⇒ 2

@Darb: No one to flank with! Nori already slew the target you could flank. Which one do you want to attack, black, yellow or gray (who is wounded)?

Darb attacks the "black" kobold. racist

Darb stabs another kobold, wounding it slightly. Once again, the kobold counter attack ensues.

Kobold Black spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 2 = 21
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Kobold Purple spear @ Jinx: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Apparently I can only hit Darb and deal 5 damage to him. Doesn't work otherwise

Darb is speared again, the goblin now severely injured from the three stab wounds. The kobolds attacking Jinx and Wakiyan fail to hit their mark.

The other injured kobold continues to run away.

C'mon Nori! Go for the kill streak!

Nori steps up to finish the black kobold

crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

New Achievement: Killstreak!

Nori fells the kobold that has stabbed Darb repeatedly, greatly reducing the kobold assault on the little goblin!

The kobold Darb hunted once again tries to stab at him.
Kobold Gray spear @ Darb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

He curses in anger, the humans in the back of the cave now showing glimmers of hope in their once dead eyes.

Step back and blast again!

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

And Wakiyan makes sure that kobold is blue as it keels over, seriously chilled.

Darb tank!

Darb steps back, drawing a vial out of his bag that's labeled "poison" in undercommon.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 4) + 3 = 14

Darb is recovered to near full health, his puncture wounds barely visible now.

The two kobolds look at each other worriedly.

Outside of the cave of slaves and soon to be slain kobolds

The kobold engaged in melee with Jinx tries to stab her!

Kobold purple stab @ Jinx: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Damage on hit: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Luckily Jinx's armor is just thick enough to stop the spear from piercing through this time!

More sounds echo from the tunnel where the wounded red kobold fled.

If the first attack ends it, then I move to Nori's position. Otherwise just 5 ft up.

With a hiss before she strikes, she claw-slaps the kobold into unconsciousness before moving to follow Nori.

Nori! 4 in a row?

Nori flips the weapon to an underhand grip and stabs it back toward the yellow kobold.
atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
