Watching as Joseph is staggered by the arrow, Viridian, with his glowing spear in one hand, taps the warrior again with his wand.
Wow! This stick is going to run out at this rate.

Blitz! Attack!
He points into the darkness.
Moved the wolf into the room, but not sure what it can see (or scent) in the dark...it should know the scent of goblin by now, but maybe not anything else.

Corbrae's lights illuminate the room, allowing everyone near the door to see a humanoid with a bow. The creature is taller and broader than a normal human, with goblinoid features. While Viridian heals Joseph, Blitz rushes in and bites at it, but slips on the approach and can't manage a hit.
Tibearius can act! Note that like the areas below the room is Difficult terrain.

Arrow and spell do modest damage to the apparent chief. It takes a quick step back and looses another arrow at Joseph, narrowly missing the agile fighter.
Everyone else can act!

Blitz attempts another bite.
Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 for dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 trip?
Good, Blitz! Take them down!
Viridian moves into the room to support with his lighted spear.

with difficult terrain...may not be able to reach the guy, though?
Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire
I doubt Viridian can make it there in a single move; the stairs are also difficult terrain, so a single move for anyone except Tibearius is only three squares. IIRC, Viridian started out one square down from the door.

ok thanks. Yes. Can move back. Was not sure if lights canceled the difficult but guess not.
Viridian stops short, considering chucking his spear but decides not, with Blitz in the way.

IIRC, Viridian started out one square down from the door. In that case ignore Mrs. Book's magic missile as I treated the stairs as normal terrain. It would take her two move actions to get where she is.

She had two move actions from the first round, so one more and the spell was reasonable for the second round.

Not that it mattered from his missed attack, but Blitz has 50' movement and both were closer when he tried to bite the bugbear. I have moved Viridian back on the map.
Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire
I thought Viridian was back by Joseph, so as to be able to heal him after he took the arrow on the first round.

Correct. Map updated to account for Viridian after the healing on the first round. But feel free to place him if I have it misplace. :)

No problem; I missed that you were using a reach weapon.

Tibearius provides more good fortune from his patron, while Blitz and Viridian can't seem to hit the enemy chief.
Corbrae?

Mrs. Book seizes the opportunity to get a clear shot and moves to the side. She wiggles her fingers and tosses some colored sand which transforms into a code of vivid and clashing colors.
"I hope this works."

Despite the divine luck pervading his hands, Joseph's arrow flies nowhere near the goblin chief. The party's ill fortune continues as the creature manages to close its eyes in time to avoid the clashing colors of Mrs. Book's spell. Then it steps back and looses another arrow at the fighter. This one is accurate, and Joseph goes down. Take 10 HP, Joseph.
Corbrae, Viridian, Blitz, and Tibearius to go!

@Joe: I believe you have your weapon in hand if prone and getting up, so you could shoot, but I'll leave the final decision to the GM
Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire
There's nothing in RAW that I can find about dropping items when a character becomes unconscious (unlike the stun effect from Mrs. Book's color spray, which makes it explicit. With the caveat that this isn't a precedent, Joseph, you can take a shot this round. Note that the enemy has cover from you, though.
