"So there are. Should we say hello to them, do you think? Or... how did it go... ah yes, 'cry havoc and let slip the hogs of war!'"

To answer your question, roll initiative please.

An unearthly howl comes from the room. The Forsaken are waiting.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12, the great rolling continues :)

Initiative 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Edit: Well, better to get that out of my system now than to have rolled that when disarming those traps. You all could have been scraping assassin puree off the floor...

Initiative 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Edit: I just don't seem able to roll low at the moment. It's a problem when I'm playing Heroquest, I can tell you.

It really is just as well. Those walls would have been unpleasant if they'd fallen on you.

Just need Isari and Rusty.

I'll swap. It'll give them a chance to cluster up for some of my bursts.

Excellent, I can enter a stance in that case to allow people to gain temp hp when I hit in melee. Also everyone please note: Stalwart Defender (11th level): Whenever you are adjacent to at least one ally, you and adjacent allies gain a +1 bonus to AC, and all adjacent allies can reduce the distance they are moved by any pull, push, or slide by 1 square.

Rusty is eager to spill derro blood.

The bombardiers are a bit complex to run, so I'll be updating later UK time as I have classes all day and live gamers early evening. You are not forgotten.

The crazed howls of the Forsaken focus as the companions come into view and the lunatic mutants emerge from the murk pumping the bizarre yet lethal contraptions that deliver their bombards.

B1 emerges from the hallway and takes cover behind an ancient mine cart. B2's eyes gleam as he unleashes a gout of poisonous acid over the comrades. Only Rusty is swift enough to avoid the vile concoction, with Nayce and Isari suffering particularly badly.

Sloughide Bombard (Ref). Area wall 8 within 8. On hit target is immobilised to end B2's next turn.

Rusty drinks a potion of poison resistance; keeping the antique bottle safe for Caradlather.

Minor Action and Rusty gains resist 10 poison until the end of the encounter.

Raising his shield the fighter leads the push against the derro.

Move 5 squares to Aa11.

Shield Feint @B2 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 vs AC; 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 damage and Rusty gets a +3 power bonus to his next attack roll against B2 before EONT.

Action Point
Rusty hears an imaginary dwarven voice say, turn the flank, ye eejit!

Move Action granted by Dorvin's Bravura Presence: Use Pass Forward to move 3 squares to Cc10 without provoking OAs from B2.

Crazy like a fox, the dragonborn goads the nearest derro(s?) into the main chamber.

AP Standard Action: Come and Get It – Each enemy in a close burst 3 is pulled 2 squares to a space adjacent to Rusty.
@B2 1d20 + 17 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 3 = 33 vs AC
@Fs 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 vs AC
@R1 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22 vs AC
@S2 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 vs AC
1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 damage each.
And Rusty marks 'em all (EONT).

Rusty surges into the room and demonstrates the merits of keeping his enemies close. The Forsaken are pulled inexorably towards him as his blade cuts deep into their mutated bodies.

While the bombardiers are familiar, if unwelcome and the raiders are merely deranged guisarme wielding warriors, the savants and the the tiny caged foetus S2 clutches are another thing entirely. They gibber in some incomprehensible version of dark speech and the madness of the bottomless mines has entirely overtaken them.

Combined damage types (poison AND acid) make me sad... I only have resistance against poison. On the upshot, I now get +3 to damage rolls against B2 until the end of the encounter.

Minor: Nayce - have an Inspiring Word - spend a surge and gain its value plus:
2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9
Minor - Encouraging Stance Effect: Until the stance ends, when you hit with a melee attack, choose a bloodied ally within 5 squares of you. That ally gains temporary hit points equal to 5 + your Charisma modifier.
Bravura Presence: You can choose to grant the temporary hit points when you miss with a melee attack, but that grants the target of the attack combat advantage against you until the end of your next turn.

Dorvin growls and shouts at Nayce, "Keep goin' lad, we're only just startin'!"

Dorvin mutters a set of complex, yet restorative, dwarven oaths.

Raider 1 has no hesitation in shifting back and targeting the reckless dragonborn warrior and is followed in short order by his comrade, who emerges from the mists and charges Dorvin. Rusty spots the incoming attack in time and dodges, but Dorvin is not as fortunate.

Guisarme Hook (Ref). On hit, target is knocked prone.

Guisarme (AC)

Clutching the vile mutant in its cage, S2 shifts behind the bombardier and raises the bloodstained symbol of whatever hideous deity these derro worship.

S1 hovers in the far doorway, mad eyes agleam as it waits for more prey to move towards it.

Brainbleeder Rebuke (Will).
1d20+15=32 - S2 v Rusty. Hits. 2d6+5=13 psychic damage
13 psychic damage to Rusty.

The hunched foetus screams, sending a blistering pain through Rusty.

Despairing Prison of Flesh (Will). On hit target is dazed (se). If already dazed, dominated instead. First failed save, target is dominated (se). Reliable.
1d20+14=26. Foetal Savant v Rusty. Hits.
4d10+5=20 psychic damage
20 damage to Rusty and he is dazed (se). Dominated on first failed save.

Never one to by bound in one spot, Nayce steps into the shadows and emerges from the nearby warlord's. He sends his shadowy noose after the filthy derro who attacked him.

Shadow step to X10. Executioner's noose on B2 (who has cover against the attack) 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 vs Fortitude. 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 force damage on a hit and it is pulled to AA10 and slowed to EOMNT.

Shroud on S2.

Nayce bloodies the nearest bombardier, but leaves himself open to a flurry of crossbow bolts that fly towards him and Rusty. Crazed as they are, all the derro miss catastrophically.

F1, F2, F3 and F4 all attack Nayce. F5, F8, F9 and F10 attack Rusty. Cross v AC. On hit does 5 untyped and 5 poison damage.

Amenephus fires a blast of radiant light wide of the target, but illuminates the nearby Reaver. He then raises his holy symbol again and takes aim at the Bombardier and tries to send it to its dark doom.

R2 flinches as Amenephus pours divine light into it and B2 staggers under the follow up attack.

"Well. That stuff really isn't very nice. Reminds me of some of my aunt's cooking." Guldarin peers towards the duergar. "Short and crazy. A bit of storm should clean them up." Humming, he points his rod and the past howls into the present once more.

Ozone battles the smell of poisonous gas and temporarily wins as two of the Forsaken reavers fall. B2 looks barely upright, but its dire peril doesn't seem to make any difference to the mutant. S2 seems even less concerned, gibbering frantically to the creature in the cage.

Rumbling from the wall heralds the arrival of a large blind creature, vaguely mole-like but distorted and raging. Baring vicious teeth, it charges Rusty, hurling him to the ground and driving savage claws into his body.

Ferocious Charge (Ref). On hit target is pushed two squares and knocked prone.

Isari slices a chunk out of the Dogmole, defying it to move away from him.

Yes, that's right. I am attacking S2. Luring Focus then allows me on a hit to pull another enemy, which was to be B2. It shall now be B1.

Joining Rusty in the chamber, Dorvin has never looked more determined as he heals the doughty dragonborn and yanks B1 closer for a little personal malleting.

The raiders are unimpressed. R1 drives his guisarme towards Rusty's legs, knocking the warrior prone. R2 follows suit with Dorvin.

F2 and F8 are wiped out.

When the sound dies away, the Savants attempt to add to the havoc. S1 raises his vile symbol in Dorvin's direction and chants something appalling. Dorvin's glaring eyes and fervent faith in the Forgefathers gives him the strength to resist.

Wrath of Chaos (Will). On hit target is dazed. First failed save, target is stunned.
1d20+15=20. Miss.

Dragging the cage with him, S1 shifts and strikes viciously at Rusty. With every advantage, he somehow manages to miss.

Notes about Dorvin:
1. Whenever Dorvin is adjacent to at least one ally, he and adjacent allies gain a +1 bonus to AC, and all adjacent allies can reduce the distance they are moved by any pull, push, or slide by 1 square.

2. Until the stance ends, when Dorvin hits with a melee attack, a bloodied ally within 5 squares of him gains 9 temporary hit points .
Bravura Presence: He can choose to grant the temporary hit points when he misses with a melee attack, but that grants the target of the attack combat advantage against Dorvin until the end of his next turn.

Nightmare Shades vs. R2. 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 vs Will. 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (2, 6) + 13 = 21 psychic damage on a hit, and to EOMNT I get combat advantage against him and a +5 bonus to damage rolls.

Save vs dazed 1d20 ⇒ 7

Shroud on S2. He's up to 2 shrouds now.

Nayce takes the opportunity to warn S2 that a world of shadowy pain awaits him and wraps shadow into a form that bites at R2. The derro claws at something only he can see, but the expression on his face suggests this is just as well.

The reavers open fire again, hoping for better luck this time. Arrows fly towards Isari as the only upright and readily available target. Unaware of the swordmage's potent armour, two bolts nonetheless manage to hit him. And were lucky to do that. The derro have no idea of tactics, they just gun for the nearest thing they can see. AC29 is insane.

v AC. On hit Reavers do 5 untyped and 5 poison damage:
1d20+11=20. F1 v Isari. Miss.

R2 screams with outrage as Amenephus lances its lunacy with divine light.

Guldarin, eyes glazed and mind not his own, raises an admonitory hand at his companions...

Thanks to those bolts, I'm now bloodied.

Guldarin's fingers move with a life of their own and send a merry shard blasting into his fellow dwarf. Nayce ducks in time.

11 damage to Dorvin.

The Dogmole chumps viciously at Isari, displaying outsize incisors but making no headway on the swordmage.
