"It doesn't look as though your companions are that willing to me."
Gabrielle stows her sweet bag and strolls casually towards Mallora, spinning at the last second and sending an experimental dagger twirling through the air.
Move to F9
Probing Strike. Effect: +1 to attack rolls against target to end next turn.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5 - Gets to use Sneak Attack as going before an enemy has acted.
Down to 7 daggers
Oooh. Crit. 8 plus 18. 26 damage to Mallora

Eccentric DM |

I'm back, thanks for notifying everybody, Davi.
No problem.
The woman curses as the knife embeds itself in her shoulder and raises her staff, and a burst of telekinetic force rips through the entrance to the tower. As she advances, holding her staff menacingly, her two guards launch forward and smash into the two members of Cannith, knocking Amyrielle back while the other occupies Boxer.
Lost the edit to describe the effects of the attacks, 10 force damage to Gabrielle, 8 damage to Boxer, and her burst attack strengthened the peasants in the area.

Khashana |

Khashana rounds the corner to confront a foe she already knows in her heart was here. She narrows her gleaming eyes and thinks to the enemy leader, You shall not prevail here, perverted one.
She concentrates her will and attempts to send a confusing melange of images into the enemy female's mind.
Can I tell if she is an Inspired?
Minor - Distract on Mallora - grants CA to next creature to attack. Which would be me... Mind Thrust (Augment 1) vs her Will.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
If that hits, she takes a -2 penalty to Will until the end of my next turn.

Eccentric DM |

Can I tell if she is an Inspired?
Inspired, but not possessed by a quori. She's no better than a similarly-skilled human, really.
The woman narrows her eyes at the psion, and she seems ready to fall.
Where are you moving to to actually have line of sight?
Lodr ir'Gadden runs to the side entrance to intercept the men coming from that side.

The peasants advance on the tower.

Amyrielle d'Cannith |

"I said I wasn't involved." Amyrielle says, angrilly. "I didn't care if you took the Brel. But, if you don't want to listen, fine. Die. Boxer, kill them all." She steps back and black darts fire from her wand.
Shift to F10. Life Tapping Darts, targeting Reflex, vs Mallora. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16. On hit: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (6, 8) + 4 = 18 and Boxer gains 10 temp hp. On miss: Half damage and Boxer gains 5 temp hp. Also, I plan to Action Point, but what I do depends on how this resolves, so I want to hold that to see.

Amyrielle d'Cannith |

The woman falls to the ground.
Dead or unconscious?
Dead. Amyrielle wasn't joking when she said 'die'. AP.
Amyrielle's wand touches Boxer's back and she empowers the warforged with protection. Some of the magic leaps from him into an enemy with with a blast of thunder.
Thundering Armor. Boxer has +1 AC until EOMNT. I also make a secondary attack vs a foe adjacent to him. I pick the P at E12. Targets Fort. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13. On hit: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 thunder damage and push him to D13.
HP: 28/28

Move to G11
Acrobatic Strike (AC) on S1. Effect, can shift 1 square before or after attack.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 - no CA, so no sneak attack damage, alas.
Shift back to G10.
Bloodied. 12/24hp
Darting in and out of the fray, Gabrielle attempts to finish the first sergeant.

Eccentric DM |

Enraged, the guards lash out at Boxer and Amyrielle.
Both miss in their rage. Meanwhile, the eastern skies seem to catch alight, bathing all beneath it in a sickly orange light.

Ravening Thought vs S1's Will.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
CRIT!
Damage to S1 is thus 16 and ongoing 5 psychic damage (se)
Effect - make secondary attack against each enemy adjacent to the primary target so.. in order these will be P (E12), P(F13), P (G13), and S1's Will
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 121d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Any hits have ongoing 5 psychic damage (se)
Khashana sends her alien thoughts spiralling into her foes minds.

The first sergeant yells in fury and swings at Boxer one last time before falling to the ground. Still, only two remain at the entrance.
Meanwhile, Lord ir'Gadden swings at the peasants trying to abduct him.
Both blows land, and the peasant is knocked unconscious.
7 damage to Boxer.

Gurdang |

First off, I should be starting in F8, not E8.
Gurdang traces a rune of blue fire in the air and an identical rune appears on Amyrielle. Minor action - Rune of Mending (protection) - Amyrielle can spend a surge and myself and each ally in burst 5 (that's all of us) gains a +1 to all defenses until the end of my next turn.
That done, he turns and pulls his hammer and smashes the ground sending white flames through the gap in the wall. Minor action - draw hammer. Flames of Purity (protection) vs. the P in C8's AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Flames of Purity (protection) vs. the P in D8's AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 fire damage, and B heals 3.
Allies adjacent to me gain resist 2 to all damage.

While the sergeant is hit, the peasants still advance on the party.
OA for Boxer on P*
The blows hit Gabrielle and Lord ir'Gadden. 5 damage to Gabrielle, 3 to Bren.
Meanwhile, large bolts of lightning rain down on the Cyran countryside, illuminating the ever-thickening fog. A few of the distant specks you presume are Brelish turn to flee, but the Cyrans fight on. After all, where could they run to?

I'm not hurt, give the healing to Gabby :)

Amyrielle d'Cannith |

"I don't like the looks of this. We need to end this fast and find cover!" As she shouts, Amyrielle fires lightning at the sergeant.
Shift to E9. Static Shock, targeting reflex, vs S2. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5. On hit 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 lightning damage and his next attack gets -3 on the damage roll.

Move to D8, then shift to C7 as part of Acrobatic Strike to flank with Boxer.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5 - sneak attack damage
Gabrielle nods her thanks at the runepriest before ducking under Boxer's arm, circling, and sinking her dagger into the oncoming man.
"Doing my best..." she murmurs to Amyrielle as she passes.
I've never rolled two crits in an encounter before. Controlled Peasant gets 24hp full in the back.

Another peasant falls and the sergeant takes another futile swing at the warforged holding him in a headlock.

The last man seems to just barely be holding onto consciousness. Lord ir'Gadden fires a bolt of magic at one of the peasants.
Magic Missile: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 142d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 1 = 5
Another peasant falls to the ground.
