After we give any bouncers and such a chance to go after Brenron, the rest can go out from back stage towards the back room. Roswyn can go last, possibly igniting the makeup on her way out (after clued in by Tondrek).
Also I'm out of town this weekend, not sure how much I can post. (guess I've been posting pretty light on weekends recently anyway.)
''Thief! You damn scummy thief! Drain on the economy! Skewer of the free market! Give back that dagger, you damn thief!''
Brenron jumps atop the stage, chasing the dagger-thief, as she heads around the stage towards the door at the back of the room. The kobold doorman pulls a javelin out and begins toward that side of the room. Many other of the patrons stand in alarm.
ooc
koblold dagger thief moves toward FGH room. It's the +2 dagger as well.
Perception 20, for backstage, Shava hears automatically
Shava quickly stops dancing and instinctively her hand goes down for her belt, and she knows its gone. That slimy little whelp, I'll fry her! No this is an excuse to go backstage! Wait, I have no idea what's back there, and I don't have my dagger!
Shave raises her arms up, a glint of blue flashes through her eyes and she focuses on the girl.
"That dagger was a gift!" And suddenly theres a boom of Thunder from within the room.
actions
Well there goes all that planning!
Initiative (1d20+5=15)
Just cause I'm attacking, if you need to reroll with the group out of fairness no worries.
Standard: Storm Walk. I shift one space towards my target. Storm Walk Attack (1d20+6=11)
And on a hit I do 1d8+7=13 subdual thunder damage and slide the target one square closer to me and Brenron.
I did substract the bonus from the dagger. I did not add in Combat opportunity for surprise.
If possible, I'd like to move forward as well, but I imagine that is not possible.

Tondrek points out the make-up to Talky Gnome, when he cocks his ear to the side. New dwarf guy yelling lots out there. Sounds like other girl making noise too. Distract much?
OOC: Tonrek's ready to stealth over there in the confusion. Tondrek & Doggie: 11, 5

Rohna just follows the group as they move out of cover, apparently missing the reason they are all ducking from shadow to shadow. Stealth?=4 She thinks its quite amusing. She taps the party member in front of her on the shoulder. "Hey whatcha doin?"

Shava raises her arms up, a glint of blue flashes through her eyes and she focuses on the girl.
"That dagger was a gift!" And suddenly theres a boom of Thunder from within the room.
The music stops with a screech and the boom of thunder further panics the crowd and they rush out of the building. Shava's attack, bolstered by her anger, misses the nimble dancer. The kobold makes it to the door nearby, standing beside it. Several kobolds remain, a hostile look in their eyes.
Tamarand, Tondrek, Doggy, and Rohna move out into the main room, in the shadow of the heavy purple curtain. Rohna misses the open end of the curtain and the goliath flails around in it's bulk momentarily. Once out, she taps Tondrek on the shoulder. "Hey whatcha doin?". The kobold doorman glances up to the stage, he meets the eyes of the goliath, the half-orc, and his creation. Tamarand's dark skin and training in the darkened jungles of Xen'drik give him the advantage, as he remains unseen.
OOC: Map was added. Dancer is at I9. I figured you would head towards the dancer the quickest way possible, that would be directly. You are currently off the stage. Let me know if that works.
The tables(the solid black squares, can be upturned for cover with a minor action. Otherwise, the tables and the stages can be entered with an extra square of movement(that is count it as difficult terrain to go from non-stage to stage terrain)
Tondrek cringes at the sudden panic, waddling with his cloak up toward the door Talky Gnome pointed to, Doggie loyally following. He tries to duck behind a table, knocking it over in the process.
Action
Move to L9; minor to shove over table, minor to have Doggie follow to L10 (the table square).
"Took you guys long enough!" Shava yells as she charges forward, her arms slicing through the air, as if she still held her dagger. She suddenly stops short of the dancer, and channels her momentum through her arm into a burst at the dancer. Another loud roll of Thunder shakes the immediate area and she uses it to slide closer to the group.
Actions
Move to I12
Storm Walk: Shift to J11, 11 vs. Fort. 13 Subdual Thunder Damage and I Slide the Dancer to J10
If she falls I'll pick up the weapon, otherwise I'll turn over the table in K10
ooc
That placement is fine. I originally wanted to be on the stage to have height advantage, but considering the current placement of everyone this will be good.

Rohna looks around seeing that the kobolds seem very angry that she standing behind their pretty curtain. Her armor flows back over her body as she draws her hammer and shield. Between the kobold dancer and the door at the back of the club, Mitra fades into existence again and rears up onto her back legs to tower over the little thief. The bear's lips peel back to show her massive yellow teeth.
Actions
Minor: Summon Armor.
Move: Draw Weapon/Shield.
Standard: Summon Mitra to (H,9) any square within 20 of Rohna.
ooc - Posting out of order since Rohna is not taking any combat actions. Enemies cannot move through Mitra's space, and any dmg less than 12 from a single source is ignored by Mitra.

I take it the "S" and "M's" on the map are our old friends a slinger and minions? (Or is it *that* kind of club? )
I don't see any civvies on the map, do we not have to worry about hitting them? I'm going to go ahead and assume that Roswyn can find a makeup drawer to target that is far enough from any dancers so that they don't get hurt. If that is not the case, let me know and I'll change her actions.
Oh one other thing - I don't remember a milestone being officially announced, but obviously we had one, right? I'm adding an action point to Roswyn's stat block.
Roswyn chuckles quietly as chaos erupts in the front room. Probably not so bad as our first run-in with these kobold scum where they had a good defensive position, probably not so good as the second time where we got the drop on them. I guess I'll follow Tondrek's advice and try to clear out this back room... hopefully stampeding dancers will at least delay the guards coming in from the back entrance...
Scanning the back room, Roswyn selects a makeup table that isn't too close to any of the confused looking kobold dancers. She gestures, and a faintly shimmering hand appears next to the table and violently yanks open its drawer, emitting small puff of makeup powder. The gnome wizard gestures with her other hand, which holds her new magic orb. Flames erupt in a circle around the table.
"I made BOOM!", she giggles in a passable (though much higher-pitched) imitation of Tondrek.
Actions
Minor: Mage hand.
Move: Draw orb.
Standard: Scorching burst. Don't know if this needs an attack roll or not, if so: Scorching Burst against makeup table(!) (1d20+8=27, 1d6+6=10) Unless the table is secretly an artifact with godlike reflex defense, I think it's a hit.

Yes, thank you for reminding me. Everybody gains an AP from the skill challenge just completed. The club seems devoid of patrons, all present are workers and/or enemies. The "S" is the doorman, he's hefting a spear, not a sling.
Tondrek cringes at the sudden panic, waddling with his cloak up toward the door Talky Gnome pointed to, Doggie loyally following. He tries to duck behind a table, knocking it over in the process.
Took you guys long enough!" Shava yells as she charges forward, her arms slicing through the air, as if she still held her dagger. She suddenly stops short of the dancer, and channels her momentum through her arm into a burst at the dancer. Another loud roll of Thunder shakes the immediate area and she uses it to slide closer to the group. The sorcereress' arcane attack is foiled by the tenacity of the dancer. Apparently these dancers were made of sterner stuff.

"I made BOOM!", she giggles in a passable (though much higher-pitched) imitation of Tondrek, though her amuseing immitation is choked off as the flammable powder ignites. Apparently the drawer did contain a large amount of powder. The powder desk explodes, louder than Shava's thunder spell, and the club's booming music. A hole is ripped in the wall behind the desk, exposing the room's occupants to the gnome.
Roswyn
You see several kobolds, coughing and rubbing their ears from the blast. A pair hold steel blades and blackscale shields. Another clutches a javelin. The final is the most interesting though. A purple robed kobold, bedecked in jewelry.
Two of the kobolds move into position behind the tables. They hurl javelins at Brenron, one clatters off the stage, but the second sinks into the dwarf's gut. After hurling their weapons, they flip over the tables gaining cover from incoming attacks. Another pair moves up next the the stage. The kobolds each flip over a table. The kobold doorman, nimbly climbs up the stage, and thrusts it's spear at Brenron's chest. The spear scrapes the dwarf's armor, but causes no harm.
Shava sees a kobold wearing purple robes and an impressive amount of jewelry standing behind the table. It's voice, deep and loud booms out, "Don't you be messin' wi' my girls. You'll pay!" Holding it clawed fingers together, an orb of acid materializes between it's palms. A thought sends it towards the half-elf. Lady d'Lyrandaar has no chance to dodge the arcane missle as it hits her squarely in the chest. Acid seeps beneath her armor, burning her chest. The spellcaster moves to the corner of the room, another kobold nearby, who is watching out for threats.
A heavily armored kobold wielding a blade and blackscale shield emerges to swing it's weapon at Tondrek. Following it is another spear wielding kobold who seems intent on skewering Shava. The first's blade strikes the half-orc, drawing blood along his arm, and gaining his attention. The spear pierces the pretty half-elf in the shoulder, nearly pinning her to the upturned table behind her.
OOC - I'll let my actions stand as they all need to happen for Rohna to be effective in combat. She'll add however as a free action as she indicates the door by the dancer. "Everyone get through that door so I can hold em back!"

Tamarand shakes his head from the shadows, thinking "Well, we've stirred up the hornets nest, this can't be good" as he prepares for a moment and then levels his daggers, bursting from the cover of darkness and unleashing icy death on the kobolds threatening his allies. His blasts contain a cold that chills to the bone those who dare oppose him. The drow runs forward, jumps off the stage to get closer to the kobolds, then focuses his formidable powers in an effort to blow their minds. With a roar, a psychic wave blasts into the kobolds, sending them reeling to get away from the terror that is Tamarand. He then calls on his innate gifts and encircles himself with a protective sphere of darkness.
OOC
*Ok Big Turn!
*Evo - if Tamarand is targetted by an attack he'll use an immediate interrupt (Storm Soul) to end his thunder/lightning resistance and gain +4 bonus to all defenses TENT.
I will need to wait for the outcome of Tamarand's actions before posting. I just don't want to use a burst/blast, if only one or no people are still standing.
