Assuming I can "delay" while bleeding out, go for it. And don't apologise, I'm not dead yet hahaha. Thats half the fun of 4E, the rebound!

[EvolutionKB]

"Well, I suppose it's up to me to save these guys" Tamarand says to his lizard, patting it and then disappearing.

He reappears standing on the ground just inside the building in front of the window standing with his legs wide in a defensive stance. The drow twirls his daggers in a complex pattern and points them both straight ahead. The sky opens up and thiny meteors rain down upon the kobolds threatening Cleaver. The meteors slam home. The slinger and the dragonshield are pummeled by the meteors, leaving a bloody pulp on the floor of the shop.

Jolted back to consciousness by the threats around him, Cleaver awakes suddenly. His fist curls around a clay pot, marked with the arcane runes of fire. His breath spent, the warforged is ready to bring further destruction to his foes.

Just a slinger and a minion left!

[ryryguy]

ooc

Nice recovery Cleaver!!!

Ok, it seems like Rohna can get to the minion, but maybe not the slinger. So Roswyn will attack the slinger.

Roswyn peers through the dust cloud and spot the kobold slinger who had been pelting Cleaver. "Your turn," she mutters and points her orb, conjuring an illusion of the wall toppling down on top of the kobold...

Then she steps out of the ruins and moves down behind one of the rolling staircase. Noting the kobold looking to leave from the corner of the shop, she gestures, and a loud, threatening growl echoes from the street outside the door. She barks something in draconic at the kobold.

Draconic

I wouldn't try to go out there...

Actions

Standard: Phantom Bolt, 11 vs Will... no doubt a miss. It was minimum damage anyway.
Move: Walk to K14
Minor: Ghost Sound (racial version), to make a growling sound behind M5, maybe give him a moment's pause before escaping...

[EvolutionKB]

OOC: Will give SG until Sat Morn to post.(I'll be on nights so my posts will be in the morn)

Rohna steps out of the rubble into Mitra's space as she moves north, and then charges the minion by the door. Her strike, even limited by the counter, strikes true, cleaving the kobold's arm from it's body and spraying her with blood. The creature falls to the ground bleeding from it's stump.

Tondrek takes aim at the last kobold, hoping his magic will help Talky Gnome.

OOC: Magic Weapon @ S1: AC 27, 9hp and R gets a +1 to hit and +3 to damage.

OOC

Ok, so Roswyn's attack was 12 vs will (and 11 damage)? Probably still a miss. (I did add the -2 for attacking through the debris zone, if that was a mistake, it'd be a 14...)

[EvolutionKB]

Tondrek takes aim with his crossbow. Drawing a bead through the debris field, and wiggling his fingers a bit, the artificer pulls the trigger. The bolt strikes the slinger in the throat and it falls over gurgling.

Harkin enters the shop. "PA! PA! Where is he?" The halfling walks into the debris field, peering among the rubble. Then the question is answered. There is a loud creak and the snap of a whip. A wagon led by a pair of horses, trots out into the street from the other side of the shop. A kobold is at the helm, and more can be seen at the rear. They grin yellowed teeth, and they stand over an aging halfling male. With another crack of the whip, the wagon begins to move away.

Minor Quest: Rescue Ronald

[ryryguy]

ooc

So are we still in combat? Do we have a chance to stop the wagon, or is it beyond our reach already?

[EvolutionKB]

ooc

Out of combat. You can *try* and chase it. Several do have mounts though. I don't want to push things to hard to force people to do something I they don't want to do.

Harkin, seeing his father, bloodied and unconscious in the back of wagon begins running after the wagon. "Somebody stop them!" The kobolds laugh and several slingstones skitter off the ground in front of the teen. The wagon is gaining speed, though not too far away.

ooc

Edit: It is a holiday weekend though, so I can understand not posting.

[Vertexx69]

Rohna hears the boy shout. "Isn't he the one that was going to pay us?" She steps over the kobold corpse in the side door way and break into a run to get back to Natasha at the storefront. She spurs the warhorse to a gallop, making throwing shield attacks on the rear wheels of the wagon as she closes.

[renau1g]

Seeing their enemies leave with his payment spurs the drow into a normally uncharacteristic action. He turns towards the open window and jumps through the portal, landing in a roll as he swings up onto his mount, turning the creature towards the rapidly escaping foes. With his daggers back in his hand, the reins in his teeth the drow kicks the creatures flanks and a predatory hiss emanates from his mouth. Acid drips from his daggers as he prepares to strike.

OOC

Roswyn gestures, and the dust and flour coating her person begins to drop off. In moments she is clean again, her robes shimmering brightly. OOC: Prestidigitation!

As the wagon carrying Harkin's father starts to pull away, and her companions mount up, Roswyn hurries outside into the street. "Don't get too far ahead - or at least try to leave signs as to which way you've gone!" she calls to her companions. "Some of us will be hard pressed to keep up!" She turns to the halfling boy. "Harkin, stay close to me now. You'll not help your father by getting yourself hurt!"


She follows as quickly as her short legs will carry her, trying to keep the quarry and its pursuers in sight as best she can.

That is good enough for me. Skill Challenge Time:

We'll go in init order, one at time from now on to make life easier and my posts hopefully mistake free. Edit: If you don't post within 48 hours, I'll NPC you

Goal: Catch the wagon/get paid/rescue Ronald <--(Hey look there's that minor quest!)

6 Successes before 3 failures

Primary Skills: Athletics, Acrobatics, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Streetwise
Other skills may be used, but perhaps at a higher DC

Initiative:

Encounter 2 Init: Cleaver; Roswyn; Rohna; Tamarand; Tondrek (1d20+2=8, 1d20+2=15, 1d20+2=15, 1d20+6=8, 1d20+7=8)

The heroes treasure-hungry adventurers chase after the unconscious halfling elder to save him make sure they get paid.

[renau1g]

OOC

Tamarand never pretended to be no hero. Although apparently IC doesn't like Tamarand going anywhere but last.

[ryryguy]

No rest for the weary?

I take it we have no opportunity for a short rest, then? If this ends in combat it could get really ugly...

(Also, how did I manage to forget to buy any potions of healing with my starting equipment? )

[Vertexx69]

As Rohna vaults up into her saddle, her armor fades away into wisps of smoke (negating part of the athletics check penalty). Athletics=17

OOC - Even a short rest takes 5 minutes. The wagon would be long gone by the time we got under way.

[ryryguy]

Roswyn watches the wagon receding into the distance faster than she can possibly run. But that wide wagon will have to stick to the wider boulevards... and with wheels they'll have to stick to ramps... "Harkin, come on, this way!" She grabs the halfling by the arm and pulls him into a narrow alley, trying to find a shortcut so they can catch up with the fleeing vehicle. Ahead is a staircase leading to another level of the city.

Streetwise (1d20+11=22)
