Erine points at the female grimlock, growling a spell under her breath. A beam of mist shoots out of her palm towards the leader.
Ray of Enfeeblement Touch (shooting into melee):1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7 If that hits, she must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or take a penalty to Strength equal to 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4. If she makes the save, the penalty is halved. This penalty goes away in five rounds.

Edrukk wants to channel without healing anymore grimlocks than he must. Based on relative positions, can he shift away from his current melee in such a way that only one grimlock would be affected (he can select one out)?
Female Gnome Witch 6 (Ward currently on Nobody, Hero Points: 1, Hit Points: 50/54)
Erine sees Canvy take a nasty blow and says something in the foul tongue of the devils that sounds like a swear.
She grabs the rod of quickening from her belt and gives it a flick, pointing towards the grimlocks' leader. Two magic bolts appear out of nowhere and zoom unerringly towards her.
Not waiting for the missiles to connect, she runs up behind Canvy and prepares another spell.

"D'ye 'ave th' lad's 'ealin' covered, lassie?"Not sure if I should back off to channel or hit this eyeless wonder first.
Canvy goes down in a heap and before the female grimlock can finish him off.....
Erine! runs to his rescue putting magic missles into the female, who goes down!
Broccan finishs off his opponent as well, Edrukk backs up letting Broccan take over his foe!
Note: generally for NPCs a natural 20 does double damage, since I do not have NPCs roll to confirm, the damage is just double even if the weapon is normally a *3. It is ease of book keeping for pbp...
Edrukk can exclude enemies, and channel only one grimlock remains and it is facing Broccan.

Last round Seeing the two grimlocks fall, Edrukk channels to heal after stepping back from his foe, excluding that one. He will move around to the female that dropped Canvy, ready to coup d'grace if the healing wakes her back up.
Healing:3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) = 6
This round Frowning at the poor showing but knowing that Canvy will at least stabilize with that little bit of healing, he finishes off the female grimlock.

"Come'n, Canvy, ye cannae be lyin' 'round wit' treasure t' be stealin1!" The dwarf chuckles and proceeds to cast several spells on the fallen cleric. It's a more efficient use of his points.
Ignoring his own minor wound that the channeling largely repaired, he looks around at each of his allies, "'o else 's needin' th' blessin' o' Gorum?" Then, "Wha's 'n th' box?"
Female Gnome Witch 6 (Ward currently on Nobody, Hero Points: 1, Hit Points: 50/54)
Bah! For the record, I was going to heal him and then quicken-summon an earth elemental to finish off the leader. Wasn't gonna just let you bleed out, Canvy. ;D

No traps....Got it opened. Now, lets see...Erine I think you are going to want to see this, lots of scrolls and a bunch of stuff that may be magical.
Female Gnome Witch 6 (Ward currently on Nobody, Hero Points: 1, Hit Points: 50/54)
Erine sighs and starts gathering the items together.
A few minutes later, she has assembled a pile of magic items around herself. "Alright," she mutters, "we've got a scroll of lowest-tier summoning, a scroll for size increase, a scroll to..."
Okay, here's her list:
Scroll 1 Summon monster 1 & enlarge
Scroll 2 shield & tongues;
Scroll 3 hold person & summon nature’s ally II ;
Scroll 4 Summon Monster II & Mount
I'm not sure what it means that each scroll contains two spells, but shrug. Detect Magic and Spellcraft on the black pearl, just in case: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
"Other than that, we've got a ring that protects from magic missiles, a ring that helps block attacks, a low-level enchanted axe and..." She holds up a small knot of mistletoe. "Given a host, this will grow longer, circling around and fastening itself to your finger. It's...well, it's for Sanstree."
She is already tucking the attack-blocking ring (ring of protection +2) onto her own finger.
While Erine is picking the ring, she probably doesn't deserve it. It'd be better suited for Broccan, Canvy or Edrukk, and someone can feel free to protest--given that it's probably the most valuable item here, they'd be quite justified in doing so.

Edrukk or Canvy would be better off to use the ring of force shield, actually. I believe the AC does not stack with Broccan's shield and it still requires a shield proficiency to use without penalty. And we can use it with our preferred two-handed weapons. What do you say, Canvy? I agree that we should assign the rings to whoever gains the most from the AC boost.
If anyone is lacking a magical weapon, they could take the battleaxe, but otherewise, let's sell it.

Thinking about it, Edrukk kept the magical breastplate, so I'm cool with Canvy taking the ring of force shield. I won't begrudge the little witch the ring of protection.

The ring of protection is a deflection bonus, so it stacks with armor. Broccan wouldn't care if Erine took it. He pretty much never takes anything unless it is offered to him.

Was someone arguing about the bonus type for the ring of protection? I was not talking about that ring at all. I was thinking the other ring was a +4 bonus (it's really a +2, I just checked), which would be better than the +2, and it which would not stack with Broccan's existing equipment. In addition to providing the only means by which our two-handers would receive a shield bonus that I can think of.
Regardless, Edrukk won't make a claim on either ring.

Ok. So Erine gets the ring of protection, Canvy is free to have the ring of force shield, it seems. The druidy ring seems useful ony to Sanstree. We can give it to him (or sell it to him, if he's willing to buy it). We can sell the battle axe if no one wants it.

The AC of Edrukk and that of Canvy are pretty close, so it's a tossup. You get hit more often, you take the AC boost. I'm good with that.
Having cleared out the Grimlocks and searching the area, it seems likely the Grimlocks came here some weeks ago and it is difficult for you to determine what they were up to.....
