"Ahah! Now you shall face the chill of my sword to match the chill of your undead state."

Frigid Blade (AC) v W1 (1d20+9=18, 1d8+5=8)

... possibly anyway. If that hits, W1 takes a -3 penalty to speed to the end of Elmo's next turn.

Lightning Lure (Fort) (1d20+4=20, 1d6+4=6)

Elmo bounces as the gravehound falls prone and sends a noose of white fire from his longsword to yank the stinking beast between himself and an ally.

Elmo will move to within three of the gravehound and pull it to the nearest square to him which will allow him to set up a flank with an ally. If he can't do that, can you tell me so he can just wade into battle by some other means.

I've got a horrible feeling I just used about three months of good rolls with Elmo's last effort.

Elmo looks smiles as he advances toothily upon his foes. "Behold the fire of righteous outrage!"

Drawing a circle of fire with the tip of his longsword, he hurls it at the oncoming undead.

Flame Cyclone (Ref) v W1, G1, Z3, Z1, Z2 (1d20+4=19, 1d20+4=16, 1d20+4=23, 1d20+4=23, 1d20+4=22).
Flame Cyclone fire damage (1d8+6=13)

There has to be at least a reasonable chance of all those hitting, amazingly. If so, anything hit takes 13hp fire damage.

The move would be one square south and then one more south east to set him up for a close blast 3.

Elmo will wait for the map in case he can set up a flank.

"Pickled cherries are repugnant. They are the undead of the fruit world," agrees Elmo, turning his attention back to the oncoming foes.

"Not fresh enough. The pickled kind do not work."

Ah. Apologies. Not sure quite what I'm trying to hit here.

Elmo closes his eyes and swings wildly at his nearest foe.

"This is how the great ones fight. They say a force will guide your hands."

He misses.

"They are wrong," he adds disgustedly.

Frigid Blade v ? (AC) (1d20 7=12, 1d8 5=10)

"Undead. I hate undead.", mumbles Jack as he raises his staff at the zombies.

Initiative: 7 Also adding some initiative rolls to my sheet.

"You and Jake can exchange notes. He has many harsh and interesting things to say about them."

9 squares in and two full squares down from the left.

"Jake! More undead for you!"

One hand on his sword, Elmo bounds towards the door.

"Let us be impulsively heroic again!"

Elmo bounces ineptly, displaying absolutely no sense of rhythm. He keeps away from Jake to avoid trampling on his friend's toes.

"Fruit is very important for scale maintenance. Few know this."

"Water, please. With a cherry on a stick." Elmo looks hopefully at Jake. "Kobolds do not metabolise alcohol well."

"Many innkeepers are averse to kobold custom," remarks Elmo. "This is why Jake buys the drinks."

"Aha! Journey's end. Let us find a tavern and exchange tales of courage and comradeship. I am sure Jake will buy the drinks."

"Trolls are displeasing. I shall protect you all. With your assistance, of course. Where are we going again?"

"What, the scar? Simple story, really. There was a mutiny, got stabbed and tossed into the ocean. A few days later, I washed up near a druid sect, and the rest is history. Now, if you would excuse me, I'm going to sit down." Jack then leans against a tree and lowers his hat, but he still seems to be awake.

So, do you want me to roll or use my passive score of 21?

"Yours is a mighty tale of mythic proportions. In return, I shall relate the tale of my meeting with Jake and the discovery of my true vocation as a hero."

"You can explain your scar and I can offer you more sandwiches and tell you about my book."

Elmo and someone else with better perception.

"Wait, you're fighting the cult of Orcus? Eh, not like I have anything better to do. Sure, I'll help out."

"Excellent! Like Jake and I, you are heroically impulsive. Ham or cheese?"

Elmo bows again.

"It is most irritating when one's proper place in the world is unappreciated. If I have offended you, I am apologetic. I myself am the proud bearer of a draconic heritage. Have a sandwich."

"Aha! We are travelling to ..."

Elmo taps Jake on the arm and hisses "Where are we going again?"

"... travelling to quell the cult of Orcus! Will you join us?"

"Yes indeed! Another victory and another chapter in my book. We are both awesome and attractive."

Elmo bows flamboyantly to the newcomers. "Greetings dog-pirate, halfling and human being. Jake is also a halfling and Logan is another human," he adds informatively if unnecessarily.

OA on Troll 2 (1d20 7=8, 1d8 5=6)

Elmo misses in great style.

Advance warning of impending absence.

I'm away from Friday morning (June 5) to Sunday evening (June 7) UK time. Directing a show and then going to Birmingham for some gaming goodness in the form of the UK Games Con.

Dave - if you need to do something destructive with Elmo, go right ahead. He's stupidly heroic, particularly where his friends are concerned and will try to set up flanks using lightning lure before cutting loose with frigid blade.

"Jake is a mighty healer and an excellent maker of sandwiches."

DM Dave

Bouncing energetically, Elmo calls on his proud draconic heritage and flame spills from the tip of his sword, lighting the trolls up prettily.

Dave - any chance of an updated map before Elmo gets funky?

"Oh - just a step back," calls Elmo cheerfully, nose to nose with a troll.

Flame cyclone is the power in question. Close blast 3, all creatures in area. It's v Ref, and Elmo's attack bonus is only +4, but it's worth a shot.

"Flame is in my armory. However, you will all need to stand back. The storm is most impressive. So is the dog."

"What have you got a phobia about fire?" Keir asks as he desperately tries to keep out of the trolls' grasp.

"Welcome to the party, don't be shy!" Keir greets the newcomers.

"I am a kobold," explains Elmo unnecessarily. "We don't have phobias, although we do have startling and interesting personalities."

"Let us see if cold will curb your enthusiasm! Greetings fellow adventurers!"

Elmo darts into the fray and triumphantly jabs his longsword into T2.
moving one square north west of Milo.

Frigid Blade (AC) - on hit, if target starts turn adjacent, it takes a -3 penalty to speed to end of its next turn. Cold damage (1d20 7=26, 1d8 5=11)

"You sir, are mine for the slaughter!"
Aegis of assault on T2. If it attacks without including Elmo as a target, he can teleport alongside it and make a basic melee attack as an immediate interrupt.

Elmo can use Flame Cyclone on them, but it's a close blast 3 and smacks everyone in range v ref.

"Did you hear that Jake? Logan? Fire and acid."

Elmo appears to be thinking hard as he runs towards the fray.

Elmo pounds after his friend. "You will pay for your misdemeanours in blood! Whoever you are."

The incongruous figure of an armoured kolold with an air of fashion about him appears beside the symbol wielding halfling.

Elmo picks up speed, drawing his sword and urging Jake and Logan onwards.

How far away are we and can we hear the voices?

Elmo prances enthusiastically at his side.

"Aha! More foes and another chapter for my book."

Elmo sets off in the direction of the noise.

"That's ok my little friend. Did I ever tell you about the time that a giant frog tried to swallow me?"

"Amazing! I must make a note of this. Kobolds do not often meet frogs."

Perception (1d20=6)

"Amazing how nothing happens at night, isn't it?"

Elmo needs to share a watch with someone as he can't perceive his own feet. Sharing first with Logan.

Me too.

"Jake has many interesting and nourishing food supplies. We should eat something or his forethought and planning will be wasted."

If I don't have a horse, can I hitch a ride with someone? Got room in that saddle, Elmo?

"I shall be happy to navigate Miss Yrenn. Particularly if she knows how to ride."

Elmo offers his best bow and a beguiling flash of teeth.

Can a kobold handle a horse? :)

Most unlikely, but you won't get Elmo to admit that.

Elmo looks from Jake to Ba'az and back again as they burble at cross purposes.

"I am mighty and extremely attractive, but I have no time for romance when there is evil to smite. I am sorry to disappoint you both, but it is best to be open. Jake always says this."

Elmo considers the prospect of walking 100 miles. "I am compact and hardy. So I will ride a horse."

"I hope you packed fresh fruit. We kobolds need to keep our scales in good condition."
