The crazy lady glares at Kara and returns the favor with an arcane bolt of her own.

The Norgorberite draws a dagger and begins slashing at the sticky goop gluing her to the floor.

Unsurprised at the Wayang's nearly suicidal charge, Lizbeth darts forwards herself after taking a moment to rung her long, forked tongue across the bared blade of her Rapier, causing it to drip a slight green poison.
Lunging around the corner of the building, the Vishkanya attacks the man that chose to hide.
Veilblade charges in, dodging the rogues strike and grievously wounding the halflig. Shadowfang follows its master but misses the rogue by a hair's width.
Lizbeth follows the grey gnome's steps and lands a hit on the rogue.
Fort:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12, but he seems to withstand her poison.
The halfling boils over with rage and steps toward Veilblade axe first.

"Perhaps if you could wait until you opponent is on the cusp of completing her evocation! Little Grey fellow was it? Have you never hear of the Battle of Thermopylae? Pyrgo must you play that thing here? Well hit Lizbeth! Honestly, if only more party members followed your example."

With the right closed, the short wrinkled thing drops his naginata and draws his katana as he steps closer to the caster. He tries to cut the halfling down, directing Shadowfang to follow up his attack if the halfling still stands.
Crunch:
Notes: I only took 5 damage from the halfling last round thanks to Samurai Challenge DR
Seeing that the strange gray-skinned madman has rushed into the alley, Lizbeth takes advantage of the opening and rolls forwards, under the Rogue's blades to land facing the crazed halfling and to the side of the fierce wolf.
Lizbeth continues to attack the man attempting to hide, lunging with her Rapier.

The glued lady turns her attention to Veilblade and attacks him with her shortsword,

On his turn, Archimeles moves 5 feet to the east and attempts to stun the man 'round the corner.
"Young man, have you ever heard the sound of one hand clapping?" Archimeles says just as his palm comets its way toward the man's chest.

Her last strike an effortless lunge to take down the angry Halfling, Lizbeth spins on her heel and once again runs her tongue down the blade of her rapier, causing it to glisten with her venom.
Then she lunges out at the Rogue to strike him down.

Pyrgo looks at his bow, I must me sincere to myself and stop trying to shot them. Then he picks his rapier and makes a step foward to stab one of the remaining ambushers[/i]
Fall over them, as the last defenders of villagetown fall over its asailants. Spreading the confusion and wounds as the east wind spread the autumn leaves.

Lizbeth shrugs and wipes the residue of poison and blood off of her Rapier on the Mugger's cloaks, before sheathing it at her hip. Seeing Lebraerio begin to examine the bodies for clues of their business with the untested Pathfinders, the Vishkanya steps further into the alley to make sure there are no other surprises.
"It could be something malicious, we had best report it to Dear Ambrus, though it could also have been an opportune mugging gone horribly wrong - for them."

Is there anything you want to do before you report back to Ambrus Valsin?
Question any awake survivors. Are any of them famous enough locally to know? Failing that, he notifies the town guard and fills out a no-doubt tedious report.
Yous search the bodies but find no clues hinting to the attackers motives. A group of town guards can easily be tracked down, and one of them immediately recognizes the halfling as Ledford, a semi notorious figure in the underground brawling scene. They take away the defeated muggers and commend you on your ability to protect yourselves in a such an effective manner.

"Tut tut, good fellows. Philosophizing is a strenuous art. One must always be ready to grapple with the biggest and toughest philosophical questions as they arise."
Lizbeth gives the town guards a wink and thanks them for taking such filthy beasts into their custody. Once the guards have left Lizbeth gives a playful laugh and turns to her companions.
"So! What a fine day we have had, I daresay Ambrus is getting anxious, shall we press on back to him my sweets?"
Once everyone is ready to proceed, Lizbeth spins on her heel and exits the alley, sauntering towards the Grand Lodge.

We have completed them, Venture-Captain. We were beset by a team of muggers led by a local ruffian named Ledford as we returned here. We do not know if they were after our artifacts or if it was a simple attempted robbery, but they are in the loving arms of the City Guard now.
Ambrus frowns at Kara's account of the attempted mugging, but shrugs it off seeing as you came back in one piece.
"Well, you seem to have handled yourselves quite well, so all's well that ends well. Right! I promise you that your next mission will be more than just errands; perhaps even taking you outside this grand city's walls."
That's all folks! Your chronicle sheets can be found here
Since this was my first PbP game as a GM, I'd love to hear any feed-back you may have.
Anyways, thanks for playing!

I had no idea you were brand new to PbP GMing! I thought you did great.
I agree that that kind of combat post is really useful. I also like to see status effects (Bless, Bane, Haste) listed as well, but I don't think that came up this session at all.
You want to run another evergreen for us? The Confirmation? Master of the Fallen Fortress? Consortium Compact?
