Move me to F3

Signy rushes into the room and straight toward the closest foe. As she comes up to him she calls out "you pack of weasels have run out of luck! It's time for your reckoning!"

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24

Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Just waiting on Pyros.

Signy rushes in and pierces the heart of one of the thugs in a single thrust.

Pyros charges in, heedless of his own safety, and hacks at the first enemy he sees.

Full-Round Action to charge to A7, attacking the enemy at A8.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

I assume you actually mean B, not A

Pyros drops another assassin before they can even react.

"Do not let them get to the mages!" The leader shouts as he moves to attack.

att v Signy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
att v Halden: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
att v Teryll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
att v Pyros: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage v Signy: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Halden, Teryll, and Pyros evade their attacks, but Signy gets hit.

Harrim and Kern are up.

Noting the leader's shout, Kern steps into the room, (I presume that is A3) and notes the mages feeding the dome.

I can't think why they need to keep that fignt contained, but I don't think it's a bluff, so the mages it is.

From where he is, Kern immediately sends a bolt of force to the center mage.(in F10)

Movement: 5' Step
Swift: Arcane Strike
Standard: Cast Toppling Magic Missile at mage in F10
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Trip (Toppling Spell): 1d1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 vs CMD

That's a cool trick :)

where do I start from? Is there a bad guy at G4? can I attack him?

if I can attack

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

You start at the door at A3. Please roll your damage as well. Remember, you are +1 to hit and damage because Linzi is using her Inspire Courage ability.

Thanks. So that's a 16

damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Harrim bashes the foe in the head with his flail.

End of Round

Leader -16hp
center mage -4 hp
assassin @ E4 -6hp
Signy -6hp

Everyone except Harrim and Kern are up.

Teryll steps away from man that attacked him, and fires another arrow at the leader since he can't get a clear shot at the mages.
I believe that's the leader in D-6?

Standard Action to attack
HP 12/12, AC 18 (T 14, FF 14)

The pain of the cut from the assassin causes Signy to draw in her breath quickly, making a hissing sound. She repositions herself to face him, then thrusts at him with her rapier.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22

Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Pyros and Signy combine to cut down the leader. Linzi moves and shoots at the center mage.

att: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Linzi's crossbow bolts sinks into the back of the center mage and he drops.

The other assassins redouble their efforts despite their leader being knocked out.

att v Pyros: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
att v Harrim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
att v Halden: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

However, all three miss their targets.

Harrim and Kern can go.

So, I expect all three will need to be downed before the field drops

Kern Shrugs, and once again sends fires a bolt of force.

"Damm...orcs! They want nothing but the gold in our halls!"

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

damage: 1d1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

As Faerin completes her spell, a swirl of wind manifests as a dog races out if it, rushing to attack Halden's opponent.

Summoned Dog Appearing in opposite Haldern
Inspire Courage/Flank: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9
1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Moving forward, staff in hand, she scans the impromptu battlefield, taking in the condition of her allies.

Heal: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Faerin, the only injury you see is to Signy who is bleeding from a deep gash to her side.

Pyros, Halden, Signy, and Teryll can go now.

Taking advantage of the distraction provided by Faerin's dog, Halden readies his shield and attacks the man in front of him.

As the assassin facing Halden attempts to look both ways, Haden slips past his guard and cuts him down. Teryll s#!*s to get a clear shot at the mage and plants an arrow in his back, dropping him as well.

Pyros moves past the remaining fighter to attack the last enemy mage.

Moving to B 10. I still don't seem to be able to move my character.

Signy moves forward to engage the assassin as Pyros passes him by on the way to the mage.

She calls out "Boogah boogah!" to him trying to keep his attention focused on her rather than the half-elf.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17

Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

As Pyros moves away, the assassin takes a swipe at him.

AoO v Pyros: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Pyros easily evades the attack, then cuts down the last mage maintaining the ritual.

Signy steps up and wounds the assassin. With the last mage down, the glowing barrier fades away. Jamandi finally cuts down the frost giant as well. The two remaining assassins drop their weapons.

Signy grins broadly as her opponent drops his weapon. She extends her arm fully, aiming the point of her rapier at the man's throat.

"That's better. I've been wondering how long it was going to take for you all to realize how doomed this sleazy little escapade of yours was. I mean I've made some bad decisions here and there in the past, but compared to this?" Signy lets go a whistle of awe.

She uses the tip of her weapon as a pointer, gesturing in the direction of Jamandi. "Alright, let's go. Time face the consequences for what you lot have been getting up to this evening."

Halden stares at the fallen frost giant. Maybe these 'Swordlords' are better than I'm giving them credit for. He puts away his sword and picks his bow up from the floor. He then starts searching the corpses for valuables.

Kern's fingers twitch, but he subsides and settles for keeping an eye on the two assassins

Not my home. Let the Lady decide their fate. Besides, I'm curious if anyone decides they need to be shut up before they say something damaging.

Kern is waiting and watching, preparing to interrupt anyone other than the swordlord's staff who decides to attack the surrendering assassins.

Moments later Kesten Garess bursts in with several guards. Seeing everything has ended he stops and looks to Jamandi.

"It looks like I made the right choice in sending these people ahead."

"Yes, Kesten. it also appears that we have placed our trust in the right people for our little endeavor." Jamandi responds.
However, it seems our plans are not as secret as I would desire. This is problematic."

"Someone already knows of our plans and is acting against us. This means your expedition will begin immediately."

Lady Aldori! Please, I know who arranged this attack. The vile king of Pitax, Irovetti! What's more, I know who among us works for him..." After a dramatic pause, Tartuccio points at Halden. "You! Show everyone the ring you are wearing! You think I wouldn't recognize the seal of Irovetti? That's why he wasn't killed -- the bandits recognized him as one of their own by his signet ring!"

"You mean this ring? The one that you gave to me just before we entered the room? The one you admitted you tried to give to Pyros before giving to me? I'm not sure what sort of trick you're trying to pull here, but it's not going to work. If I was a spy working for Irovetti, why would I be wearing his mark? Nobody here is dumb enough to believe that."

Jamandi looks back and forth between Tartuccio and Halden.
"Yes, such a gambit would be typical of Irovetti and his henchmen... And yet, it still seems suspicious."

She sighs in exasperation. "There's definitely a spy among us, but who? Tartuccio or Halden? All I have is one word against another. I'm afraid you're both under suspicion."

Signy looks at the gnome like he's just sprouted a second head.

"Seriously? Yeah, that's really stupid. Not ten minutes ago you had to try twice to give that ring away. What are you thinking?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Immediately, squabbling breaks out with Amiri (who showed up with Kesten) vociferously denouncing Tartuccio. However, Jaethal seems more inclined to support Tartuccio.

"That one," Tartuccio says, pointing at Pyros, "He is in cahoots with the other."

"Well I don't know who Ivory-etty or whatever is, but the gnome gave the ring away. I saw him do it."

Faerin was definitely inclined to believe those she'd just fought alongside, rather than the self-serving gnome. As the summoned dog vanishes, she makes her way over to Signy, the only notably injured member of their group.

"Here." she says handing her a potion. "You're going to keep me busy keeping you alive aren't you?" she mutters in a slightly amused tone.

As the fight ends, Teryll moves up to join the others, but keeps his bow ready at hand. When the argument ensues, he steps up to the front.
The Gnome is an arrogant ass, but is he telling the truth? and quickly considers the events of the day.

"I am fortunate to have been blessed by Erastil with a good sense of people. I spent a good bit of time in conversation with Halden earlier, and along with his actions tonight, I feel that accusing him of being a traitor and saboteur is an unjustified. He's had ample chance to turn on us, and appear the lone surviving hero if he'd wished."

"Erastil?!"

Harrim turns his head to the side and whispers to himself.

"Old Deadeye..what does he know about anything?"

He waves his hand in front of his face.

"Damm flies"

Seeing someone is wounded he moves over and calls out.

"The Harbinger of Last Days can heal!" He looks up at the sky.

Signy is delighted to see Amiri has survived the evening. She flashes the woman a quick smile and gives her a little wave as she argues against the gnome's accusations.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Signy takes the potion Faerin gives her, but tucks it away for later instead of drinking it. Nah, that's the Accidental God's job, not yours. Don't worry, I'm crazy lucky" she whispers back. Then she places her hands on her wound and heals it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Enough!" Jamandi's shout silences the squabble. "I'm still not sure which of you I can trust. The risk of entrusting the whole affair to aspy is too great. Here's what we'll do -- two teams will head out. One will be with Tartuccio, the other with Halden. That way I'll know at least one group can be counted on to serve my interests in the Stolen Lands."

"I'll go with Tartuccio." Amiri says to everyone's surprise.
"Don't get the wrong idea you purple toad. I'm going to keep watch on you, and if you turn out to be the traitor, I'll hang your rotten spy guts from the trees." Amiri snarls.

"I too will go with Tartuccio, he appears to have the right mentality as regards getting the job done and he won't waste time with spiritual agonizing over what's "right". He is definitely more pragmatic."
