Whoops! My mistake. The map shows you up front and I misread that :)
Speaking of, I think that me and Blekk should be shoulder to shoulder instead of me being way in the back, but eh... ;)
Wait, did I get smashed by Mr. Roboto, or did Rav?
Oh man... all you goblins look the same!!! A Cut and Paste error from the Sorceress' attempt to disarm Ravboom - it was Blekk who got smashed by the Iron-Armed man... Apologies for the confusion.
Blekk, brutally smashed by the man with whirring arms, fights back... a savage tornado of claw and teeth - yet, for all of his ferocity, only one of his blows gets past the man's trained defenses...

Blekk's gleeful smile starts to fade as his assault doesn't seem to make much of a dent at all. It turns into a frown when Claptrap fails to make him kill his friend. "Okay, soooo...this is gonna suck. Maybe we should invest in healing wand if we make it out of here alive."
He sucks in his gut and braces for the impact as he looks at Veelan in front of him. "Well? Come on Sally, don't got all day here."

I think I need to take a step back to channel and not get the bad guy. Someone check my square counting skills! It is 30ft. If I need to move to do this Vael will do so.
Filching when Vael hears the so called forest gnomes being beaten on at the front of the line. Moving so that she hopefully only heals her allies. Please let me position this right!

Well, maybe I missed some damage you took... 7HP... 16HP after Vael's channelling it is!!!
Moving backwards, trying to position herself such that only her strange 'forest gnomes' receive the benefit of her healing, Vael draws upon her powers...
Waiting on actions from Palomia / Relas and Ravboom.
As Relas pushes forward, Palo steps up to fill the space he'd just vacated. "Here, make it count!" she says as she gives Rav an encouraging(?) slap on the back.
______
Palo moves to the spot Relas was in and casts Guidance on Ravboom.
Woohoo! Relas (hopefully) moves to the space between the man and the strange woman. Please adjust him on the map :)
Well Relas doesn't quite get past '5+CMD' however there was a 20 rolled there and I think Rule of Cool applies here.
Once more, Ravboom feels unseen hands trying to wrench the BoomRav from his grip... and, for a second time, the goblin is quick to react - holding tight and then letting loose with a glancing shot.
Whilst, cursing as Relas barges his way through, the multi-armed man is now fighting his war on two fronts... the smell of heated grease filling the passageway as he smashes at Relas and Blekk...

Blekk grins weakly at Relas as he passes by. "Make this one count, not feeling good at all..."
He launches himself back into the fray, biting and scratching as if his life depends on it. Which it kind of does.
Pretty sure this is the first time this whole campaign that I can use the Vivisectionist part of my build, thank you Relas! Let's SNEAK ATTACK!!!! Also, Relas-remember that when you flank and attack with melee you get a +2 to hit.
Blekk, quite badly injured now, draws on an inner strength... or savagery... as he takes advantage of the distraction provided by Relas. Snapping forwards with teeth bared he gets naught but metal... so, surely more by instinct than refined skill, he repositions and swipes twice at the man's midriff. His claws sing deep through flesh and muscle, partially eviscerating the man as he pulls them out... yet, it is not enough to stop his attacker... not yet.

Hey! I can be quiet sometimes. Why I am usually silent for at least a few nanoseconds inbetween my ever-so-witty quips!
SNNERRRRKKK! Ahhhh!!! I love the smell of heated grease in the morning! That said, lets make it burn >:)
Silence...
Claptrap looks around for a moment..
But I have nothing to burn him with... Hmm.
Instead, Claptrap raises his arm, an integrated crossbow springing forth, next moment he unleashes a bolt!
Twaanng!:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Thwock!:1d6 ⇒ 4 If mind effecting does not work then I realize I built myself into a corner ^_^ fallback crossbow it is!
Realizing that she can't do much to affect the battle from her current position, Palo sighs and utters a few arcane words before pointing at the woman at the back.
"That should keep you busy for a little bit," she smiles as a puddle of grease suddenly forms underneath the woman's feet. She then steps to the left, making room for CT or Vael to move up.
______
Palo casts Grease to hopefully affect just the woman, then steps into the room to the left; please adjust her on the map!

Not turning her head but glaring at Knick Knack, "Fine."Delusional pile of rocks. Ignoring the noise around her feeling a heavy weight in her hand. The weight never leaves but there is a pull on it, solidifying the weapon near the woman battling Relas.
The bolt fired from CL4P-TP's appendage is momentarily surprising, and relatively accurate too... but, striking a plate of implanted metal on the four-armed man's chest, it does no damage. It turns out to prove little distraction either, Relas' repeated attacks upon the man being easily deflected... and even Ravboom's shot achieving no more than a glancing blow...

And here I was going to cast Stabilize on you :) Remember, we do have hero points! STINKY!! Claptrap calls out to the fallen goblin.
He then bullies his way through his allies through the narrow hallway until he is right on top of Blekk (literally on top, I think his wheel is resting on Blekk's hand) Pick on someone your own type, you bucket of rust bolts, or better yet, Pick on someone on your own side!
His voice goes all funny and arcaney as he casts black, murderous magic at the 4-armed lesser construct.
I got ya buddy. I'll protect you!
Mechanically I cast Cast Murderous Command first then move, visually I move to protect Blekk then cast while standing over him, but if its an issue I cast then move. Once again, the stupid thing will EVENTUALLY stick >_>

Sensing that whatever CT did earlier has happened again, Relas obligingly steps out of the way of the four-armed man even though he remains quite wounded himself. Hoping that the lady caster will determine she has bigger fish to fry than himself, he adopts a defensive stance and waits to see what happens.
______
Relas takes a 5 foot step away from the four-armed man and goes Total Defense.
Sensing that both Relas and Blekk are in trouble, Palomia steps back into the hallway to take stock of the situation. A strange look comes over her face for a moment as she lifts a hand and points - not at their foes and not at Relas but at Blekk. Suddenly, a small ray of white light shoots from her fingertip and zaps the goblin...filling him with a small burst of healing energy.
Palomia uses her Heavenly Fire sorcerer power to heal Blekk for a small amount. That should put him back to 0 HP and staggered when combined with Vael's channel!
Vael's weapon, floating in the air smashes into the woman at the rear of the room... sending her reeling mere moments before her 'ally' - CL4P-TP's craziness ringing in his ears - crashes into her twice with his brutal arms. She barely registers her surprise before she crashes to the floor...

And yes Blekk, I AM in your personal space. Isnt it awesome?!?
You could almost swear you heard a quiet giggle...
What else are we going to do? KEEP SMASHING!
Now that Blekk is up and not about to be dead, Claptrap backs out of his "Personal Space" then reloads his crossbow and fires it at the lesser construct once more.
5-ft step backwards, if I can, then move action reload, standard action shoot. If I cannot 5-ft step away then I provoke 2 AoOs Twanng!:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Thwock!:1d6 ⇒ 5

Blekk cocks his head at Rav. "Huh. Thanks for the input. Claptrap, make a mental note for me-'To do: get mechanical arm with gun inside it, turn myself inside out.' Maybe not in that order though. Think metal arm would start itching if it was inside me."

Waiting to see how the others want to finish off their battle with the four-armed man, Relas continues to maintain a defensive position as he takes another step back from their foe.
______
Relas takes a 5 foot step to his current position and maintains Total Defense!
"Well, that was super effective," Palo remarks as the man's female companion drops like a stone under his onslaught. With a shrug, she draws her crossbow and levels it at the injured man. "Guess all that's left is to put this one to bed, right?" she asks as she loads a bolt.
______
Keep forgetting that loading a crossbow is supposed to take a move action! So all Palo can do is draw and load it for the next round.
The man, looking down at the woman on the floor, turns to face CL4P-TP, "You made me do this!!!! This is your fault!!! You will..."
With all four arms raised to crash down against the machine, he charges... and, as a crashing explosion from Ravboom's gun rings around the tight confines of the corridor, he jolts backwards... and collapses.

Claptrap sees the 4-armed Lesser Construct charge at him and a little bit of oil leaks out before Claptrap goes full lockdown mode (basically total-defense combined with dropping prone-ish for story purposes) and braces for impact...
...But it never comes. Looking outward and seeing the fallen man, Claptrap jumps up with sudden animation Ahaa! I knew we would easily emerge victorious! Go Team! Go CL4-TP! Go Team!
He then sees Blekk attend to the people he just helped put in the dirt, so he goes over to help him.
Good idea, why I have an excelent idea I want to try on one of these hapless falf-wits Aid-Another Heal Check:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 I... I actually failed an Aid-Another check :,(
But apparently Claptrap is a little too forceful and vindictive with his "help" to actually achieve anything...
Thankfully you got this buddy! Now watch this...
[Ooc]Claptrap casts Brain Drain on the unconscious female (DC 16 Will negates)[/dice]. Failing the save inflicts 4d4 damage and I Eatz your Knowledge >:)
Brain Drain:
Brain Drain (Su): You can take a standard action to violently probe the mind of a single intelligent enemy within 100 feet. The target receives a Will save to negate the effect and immediately knows the source of this harmful mental prying. Those who fail this save are wracked with pain, taking 1d4 points of damage per oracle level. After successfully attacking with this ability, you may use a fullround action to sort through the jumble of stolen thoughts and memories to make a single Knowledge check using the victim’s skill bonus. The randomly stolen thoughts remain in your mind for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier. Treat the knowledge gained as if you used detect thoughts. This is a mind-affecting effect. You can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels beyond 5th.
Working quickly, Blekk stems the blood flowing from the sorceress' wounds... her breathing, shallow and rapid, slows and becomes more regular...
...a cue then for CL4P-TP to trundle over and attempt to gather knowledge from a helpless 'informant'.
Laystra, Will Save vs Brain Drain: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13, Save Failed - 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4) = 10 damage
Images of street scenes from Zel-Argose fill CL4P-TP's sensors, of cloaked figures moving in the shadows, of a gate opening and a man stepping through... and then, moments later, the cloaked figure (revealed to be the four-armed man as the cloak slips free) attacking him... a final image, fading into darkness, appears - the four-armed man handing a parcel to a figure that CL4P-TP registers as a 'jagladine'.
...and then, choking and coughing on the blood that trickles from her mouth, the woman becomes still.
The sorceress has gone below negative CON and is dead

I melted someones brain XD
Also, OOC I could use a little help sorting that out
Claptrap calls out for the benefit of the party, and any 'onlookers' who might be listening in...
MUHAHAHAHA! I have siphoned off her thoughts and memories. Sadly, her brain did not survive the trama and has turned to mush... Unfortunate!
But alas! Her final memories! A street in Zel-Argose... Cloaked figures, its a conspiracy! A crime! The cloaked figures, including these two, attack a man! Then, a parcel, exchanged hands from Mr. Four-Arm and, GASP! A Jagladine!...
Claptrap intimidates a swoon for (more) dramatic effect.
What could it all mean?
Did I learn their names by chance? It would be helpful in describing them :P
"Wh...good job Twinkle Toes, she's dead," Palomia scowls as whatever CT just did forces the sorceress to give up the ghost. "I know we were given a little more free reign on how to put these guys in their place but I'd rather we not get a reputation for leaving a pile of bodies and a s***-ton of property damage in our wake every time we're hired to do a job!"

Blekk stares at Palomia like she'd just said something incredibly stupid. "Wha-Palo, do you hear yourself? That's EXACTLY the reputation we want! And think about it this way-most of that "pile of bodies" wasn't even left by us! We're so good, we get the bad guys to kill each other! Or at least do most of the heavy lifting."
He nudges Four-Arms with his foot, trying to see if he's still alive. "Clap, if this guy's still kicking, wanna melt his brain too? I wonder if we could get it to leak out of his ears."
The crazy vivisectionist part of Blekk is absolutely adoring Claptrap's brain-melting, foe-turning murderhobo ways.
Rav slams the butt of his gun into the back of Claptrap's frame, where he usually just back hands the machine. "Do that again I disassemble you with prejudice, use parts to line pig sty. That evil, killing helpless person."
Not trying to go PVP, just that from Rav's perspective, he made Claptrap, and he's gone and done something evil. Rav may be a 'means justify ends' but he's still CG, and that crossed a major line with him.
Sense Motive, DC 10:
Rav is absolutely furious and seems ready to disassemble the robot right now. Mainly only held back by it being a PC, if it was an NPC, he'd be blowing big holes in him right now
Holy hell, I don't think I've ever seen Rav this p*****.
"NO, we're not doing that again!" Palo exclaims at Blekk. "We've already left enough of a mess here as it is since we didn't even have to kill anyone, just slap them around a little and take those papers."
She turns to the errant robot. "CT, you've got about as much impulse control as most of the goblins I've met besides Rav but you're useful to have around and I've actually gotten halfway used to your nonstop chatter," she begins, her expression deadly serious. "So listen to Rav on this - because he absolutely means what he says."

"Yeah...I'm all for defending ourselves but there's no call to be cruel," Relas agrees, looking troubled. "Maybe CT didn't really mean to kill her though?"
