Pedro climbs up into j12. Then draws his Urgosh and stands ready.
"Good doggies...Good doggies". "It's OK...calm down and nobody will hurt you".

"Good doggies...Good doggies". "It's OK...calm down and nobody will hurt you".
1d20+1 Wild Empathy
Intimidate (would not spend even a move action on this, just want to roll some dice)
Drakr is lucky to still have both his eyes, and cuts the old kobold in half who wielded that spear against him.
Jobo climbs up quickly and starts to hack into the dogs.
He cleaves open the skull of one dog, and slashes through the chest of another. [d1 and d2 slaughtered]
Demoralising an opponent is a standard action.
Pedro considers his Wild Empathy, and realises that he will not be able to calm these dogs today. Instead, he moves in to hammer one of the dogs into unconsciousness.
Attack:
Damage:
He hits it with a solid blow to the top of the head, hard enough that it’s lower jaw bangs the ground. It looks like it could drop at any moment.
Grobnar taunts his team-mates as he climbs the rope, before casting Grease.
Reflex saves vs DC 15:
Lorelei clambers up clumsily, though there is nothing clumsy about her aim with her Acid Dart. The acid hits a dog firmly in the eyes and mouth, and soon the canine brain and lungs are dissolving. The dog howls in immense pain for a short moment before stumbling over and twitching on its side. [d3 is killed]
Conner readies his Happy Stick to heal anyone bitten by the dogs.
The dogs seem wild now, relishing the scents of blood and fear in the small room. They move in to attack whoever they can. They seem to have been bred and trained for this purpose.
Dogs 5 and 7 attempt to stand…
…though only d5 is able to do so.
.d4 retaliates against Pedro, though its teeth are already sore in its head.
Attack:
Damage:
Trip attempt:
The other 7 dogs attempt to move through the Grease…
.Only d11 is unable to move through the Grease.
.d7 attempts to stand.
…and slips again.
The dogs slink past Pedro along the far wall, more interested in tastier, softer meats further on, or maybe it is their training.
DC = opponent’s CMD
In addition, you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics. When moving in this way, you move at half speed. You can move at full speed by increasing the DC of the check by 10. You cannot use Acrobatics to move past foes if your speed is reduced due to carrying a medium or heavy load or wearing medium or heavy armor. If an ability allows you to move at full speed under such conditions, you can use Acrobatics to move past foes. You can use Acrobatics in this way while prone, but doing so requires a full-round action to move 5 feet, and the DC is increased by 5. If you attempt to move through an enemy’s space and fail the check, you lose the move action and provoke an attack of opportunity. If you attempt to move through an enemy’s space and fail the check, you lose the move action and provoke an attack of opportunity.

Drakr is hit by d6 for 7 (IF it survives the AoO – d6 has 13 hp), and may have tripped Drakr (I assume 18 against your CMD is enough, but I have this feeling Drakr has something else that makes Tripping him difficult.)
Jobo is missed twice.

Sorry DM was in a bit of a rush and didn't want to hold up combat.
Come my round Grobnar will sit back and let the muscle take out the feral dogs as well as play a little tune for his fellows to bolster their strength.
Five foot back to H11 and begins performance he will lay back until a dire situation calls for him.
Grendls are a shade of brown,
with pretty little wings.
They flit around like hummingbirds,
investigating things.
Grendls are a friendly sort,
and like to gossip, too.
But don't make fun of Grendls, or
they won't be nice to you.
Grendls are voracious tykes,
and eat an awful lot.
Although they like most anything,
their favorite foods are hot.
Grendls are inquisitive;
a quite precocious breed,
with burning curiosity
matched only by their greed.
Grendls are so sensitive,
and cuddly and cute,
you really shouldn't yell at them
for pilfering your loot.
Grendls often lust for gems,
and jewelry and such.
They really can't control themselves,
so don't blame them too much.
Grendls are remarkable;
they simply are the best.
So if you have one as a friend,
then count yourself as blessed.
Assuming Grobnar is inspiring with song for +1
AoO #1 vs d6
Damage
AoO #2 vs d7
Damage
Drakr just needed the mwork ranseur to stop the trip :-)
Typo on first attack should have been +11
Dog 6 and & 7 are dead from AoO's - no need for Drakr to worry about being tripped.
"Drakr, you take the forward dog (d8), I'll take the two lined up. If you clear out that dog, Pedro can step back."
Jobo moves one square forward and cleaves starting with the dog straight ahead (d10) then (d4)
First attack no PA
Damage
Second attack w/ PA

Drakr steps up to the dog beside Jobo and swings his axe with two hands.

Jobo is missed twice.
Since Jobo killed d6, only Pedro took any damage.
Drakr moves forward 5' and swings his axe though the spine of a dog (8).
Jobo uses his new ranseur to good effect, disarming two of them if their heads. (10 & 4).
.
Pedro panics, and is unable to land a hit. He tries to take a step back, though he seems disoriented...
Grobnar sings a mighty song to bolster his allies.
Lorelei Holds back, wary of her small frame and lack of armour. She wisely conserves her spells.
Conner holds back a moments confident that the Tin Cans can handle the dogs.

"The Map"
Three dogs fall to the blades of Jobo and Drakr, though the smell of fresh blood fires them up more. One of them takes a bite at Jobo.
Attack:
Damage
Trip vs CMD:
They sense the fear in Pedro and converge on him.
Move through Grease, d5, 11, 12
They all converge on Pedro, and swamp him, jumping up at him and barking and biting.
Bull Rush:

Bull Rush:
Pedro stumbles back under the weight of the dogs and falls off the ledge. There is a moment of eerie silence as he plummets under the influence of gravity.
Thwack.
The dwarf ranger lies perfectly still on the lower level as black fluids dribbles from his helmet.

Acrobatics vs Jobo CMD 18

Jobo has an AoO against d5 and d11.
AoO/PA d5/d12

I think it was d12
Jobo feels a pang of loss as yet another of his companions loses his resolve and experiences an untimely death.
If d5 is dead--Jobo will take his square drawing his greatsword.
He will cleave into the rear dog first.
Front dog wasn't hit so hard.
The shock of watching Pedro fall to his death causes Lorelei to miss as she fires a crossbow at one of the dogs.
Drakr stands there with his jaw agape as Pedro falls.
Jobo manages to kill four dogs rapidly.
Grobnar, seeing as all the dogs are now dead, you will probably choose to save your round of singing.
Lorelei - same goes for your crossbow bolt.
Conner - you too. There is no immediate threat.
From around the corner, now that the dogs have been quieted, you can hear the sounds of panic from around the corner. It seems that kobolds are panicking. You can running, yelling, sobbing, furniture being thrown about, doors being slammed and locked.
In front if you are two open doors. The stench of wet fur, faeces, and rotting meat suggest these were the dog kennels.
Initiative:
"You are a whirlwind of devestation!" Drakr says gruffly to Jobo. A grudging complement. Then he motions around the corner and says "From the sounds of that ruckus, all that's left to do is a bit of cleaning up." He then straps on his shield again.
Lorelei will keep her crossbow out and loaded as she begins to move forward a bit, making sure Jobo is still between her and whatever might be coming down the hall next.
Jobo is still feeling the rage. Jobo feels he can't immediately start smashing kobolds so he starts calming down.
"I will need to recover from my raging fury a while if you can wait with me. I don't think the kobolds will be preparing significant fortifications during a small rest break. Maybe someone can recover our Pedro's effects from the ground below."
Jobo drop to a knee and looks somewhat tired.
INIT
Conner goes down to see if anything can be done for Pedro, even if it's just a finally blessing. Once that if done, he'll heal anyone who is injured.

"We have no time to spare I won't let those bastards get away after what they have done to us and..." Grobnar stops to look back down to his fallen companion and says nothing more. He takes a moment to catch his breath and silently makes his way to the open doors looking for the next trap the pests have placed but this time he will be prepared.
Init:
Steath attempt:
Perception:
Whilst Drakr is keen to move on, preparing his shield in readiness, and Lorelei also feels some urgency, though she stays behind Jobo for safety, the great barbarian needs a moment to catch his breath.
Conner descends a rope to check on Pedro – Jobo suggests that he recovers some of Pedro’s gear as well. He closes the dwarf's eyes, straightens his beard a little and offers a short prayer for Pedro’s soul. Pedro is dead - his head lies at an odd angle, and his helmet has cut deeply into the back of his neck.
- Normal -, Masterwork Studded Leather, Urgrosh, Dwarven; Other Gear Alchemist's Fire Flask, Backpack (3 @ 6 lbs), Bedroll, Climber's kit, Potion of Cure Light Wounds (3), Potion of Shield of Faith +2 (2), Pouch, belt (9 @ 7 lbs), Sack (empty), Sack (empty), Tanglefoot bag, Thunderstone (2)
Grobnar moves to check the first doorway. He carefully runs his eyes and his fingers over the doorframe, the door, its handle and the hinges. He determines that it is not trapped. Inside the room he can see that this is indeed a dog’s kennel, though he is almost sickened too, not so much by the putrid smells directly, but from the sight of the source of those smells – there are two bodies of what he now recognises as soldiers of Vigil. They have been dragged into this room as food for the dogs. The dogs have eaten most of the rotting bodies
Through the torn clothing Grobnar can see that the body on the right has a leather satchel still held tight against chest with (mostly) skeletal arms. It was hidden beneath his clothing that has now been torn away. The body on the left was a dwarf (the dogs wouldn’t touch his beard), and wears breastplate, a large shield and still clutches his waraxe.
The sounds of panic continue from around the corner - a lot of kobolds are evacuating the area as quickly as possible.
"Please tie the breastplate to a bottom of one of the ropes if you think it will fit. Bring up those javelins please."

Jobo has a brief memory of how much shorter Pedro was...
.
Good, mwhahahahahaha.
Drakr looks down at Conner while he's tending Pedro's body. " So much death, Damned kobolds! " He let's out a deep sigh and says under his breath, " Meet you in the halls Pedro... "
Perception
Drakr turns around " How long till your ready Jobo? I'm not relishing the thought of chasing these kobolds all over the pass, they might have a back door. "
Grobnar grimaces at the sight of more dead and calls back to the rest before rushing in to examine the pouch pulling it from the dead mans hands and examines it's contents. "Hurry up you blokes times a wasting and these fiends are on the run."
"About (exactly actually) a minute. So I'll probably be ready soon after Drakr returns. Bring up that breastplate and studded leather anyway, I'll hump it back."
Jobo ditches the chain shirt to carry the breastplate.

Grobnar makes note of not telling the others of his find until pocketing a few of the items (1 Potion of Comprehend Languages, 1 Scroll of Glibness (Bard 3), 1 Potion of Cat's Grace and the note.) After taking his spoil he exits the rooms to report to the rest. "Looks like the kobolds have been hoarding their share of treasure." He says with a wry grin on his face witch soon disappears when he remembers the letter witch he displays to the others. "Oh and I found this, not sure quite what it means though but it sends a shivers down me spine." He lets the others investigate the note further and is satisfied with his share not that the others need know of it.
Now as I finish my first cup of tea for the day I realise I am still tired and not thinking straight, and that you are just trying to add some flavour to you character, to keep your post interesting. I stand by my sentiments, but realise it probably doesn't need to brought up as I first thought.
Drakr hefts the heavy shield. "What a way to go... Dog food ugh!" He says looking into the rooms.
Perception
He looks around at the stonework noticing the small marks that a kobolds occupation leaves. Feeling a slight movement of air that tells him that the caves go further in.
"Looks like these Kobolds have been here for quite some time. This is just the entrance, by the feel of that breeze the caves go much deeper. Could I have two of those magic weapon oils? I'll carry anything that nobody needs right now to."
Conner enters the room, carrying some of their fallen ally's gear.
"Let's divide these items up as well."
While everyone paws through the satchel, the druid examines the walls with Drakr.
"You're right, this has been here a while. So why are they only attacking the pass now? There must be some reason."
The following scrolls will require a Caster Check DC 6 (1d20 + caster level) to avoid a Scroll Mishap.
1 Scroll of Water Breathing (Druid 3)
The following scrolls will require a Caster Check DC 8 (1d20 + caster level) to avoid a Scroll Mishap.

After all the gear has been split up Drakr looks at Jobo " You rested enough yet? Let's get going these caves arent gonna clear themselves out! " Then with his axe at the ready he moves around the corner.
