Puffing after catching up, Tondrek waggles his intricate staff and yells BOOM! at the prone kobold before him. His enthusiasm does not translate to effectiveness. Sparks fall over the kobold's prone form, but it pulls it's cloak around it, shielding it from harm.
Tamarand pulls up on the reins, twisting his neck back and away to stop the charging lizard. He quickly points his daggers at the prone kobolds, but after the exertion of the chase his aim is not what it usually is. One of the kobolds take a sparkling meteor to the ribcage, but the others creatures are missed by the projectiles.
Rohna charges the staff wielding caster in an effort to end its controlling antics before they can even start. The hammer falls with a bone crunching thwump into the skull of the caster. And it seems like a portion of its life force flows up over her shining plate armor and into its joints as well as soaking directly into the skin of her face in a series of tiny red wisps of smoke. The effect makes the crystaline deposits on her skin and her eyes flare bright red for a moment before they fade back to normal.

As the battle begins, Roswyn gives Harkin a gentle rap on the head. "Remember, let us handle this... getting yourself hurt or killed will NOT help your father!"
The gnome notes the pair of kobolds to either side of the horses, and watches Cleaver charge the pair to her right, leaving the others a clear path to her and the halfling boy. She sighs. Can't be helped... my fault anyway... what was I thinking, trying to surround these scum?
She spins the crystal orb in her palm and holds it aloft. Flames erupt around the kobolds near Cleaver.

Cleaver moves out of the aircoach. The warforged adjusts to the change in altitude, momentarily dizzy. Shaking himself from whatever momentary stupor overcame him Cleaver rushes forward, hoping to end this battle sooner rather then later. The warforged strikes at the kobold, but his stupor combined with the agile reptilians makes the him miss.

Stepping forward, Doggie beside him, Tondrek traces an arc of power on hits staff and then brings it down on the prone wizard. It his with a sickening thud and a flash of power, empowering Rohna own weapon.
Action
Move to O20, moving Doggie to P19 as a minor. Magic Weapon with Battlestaff +1: Crit! (Battlestaff crits on a 19-20 on Weapon attacks), 20hp and Rohna gains +1 to hit, +3 to attack until TENT (Tondrek).
Stepping forward, Doggie beside him, Tondrek traces an arc of power on hits staff and then brings it down on the prone wizard. It hits with a sickening thud and a flash of power, empowering Rohna's own weapon. The kobold's arm hangs limp at it's side, but then it stands, barely. The other kobolds, their heads still spinning from their fall, take inspiration from their leader and stand as well.
ooc
So close! All the kobolds do is stand. They are no longer dazed/prone.
"Pa! Pa!" Harkin says, as he rushes toward his father, ignoring Roswyn's pleas.

Tamarand quickly fires another volley of flaming meteorites at the kobolds in front of him, but his mount begins moving an instant before he was ready and the drow nearly falls out of the saddle. The attack is ruined.

The meteorites crash to the ground around them, sending chips of rock through the air. The kobolds grin at the drow.
Seeing that he still has a chance to make a decisive turn in this battle, Cleaver readies himself and then draws energy from the flagstones of Sharn itself, dropping his weapon like the millions of bricks beneath their feet. Cleaver's axe slams into the slinger's chest, rending flesh and cracking bone. The kobold falls limp on the blade of the weapon, and the warforged looks for another victim.

Cleaver gains 9 temp hp and kills the slinger. Want to use swift charge?

Evo, what's the situation with the kobold's wagon, is it blocking terrain or what? I was considering putting Hypnotic Pattern on it, to try to clear Harkin's path, at least.
Alternatively, could I use Hypnotic Pattern against Harkin to pull him back into the alley? Technically he's not an enemy...
Okay, let me see if I can say this right...You can see through the wagon in the North/South direction. Imagine it like a covered wagon, I guess. You can't see through from the East/West side though. I think the best you could do is put the pattern in O12. That will clear the way so he doesn't take OA.
Ok, I think I understand... so he could actually go THROUGH the wagon from the north to the south, right? Then I will just try to slide K2 out of the way or maybe put the pattern around Q16 to pull K2 out of the way, so he can go through Q13 safely. (Assuming he will listen to Roswyn and go through the wagon... well, there's only so much I can do if he absolutely insists on getting himself killed...)
Although, if he gets in the wagon, could a kobold in theory get in and drive away? The wagon is overturned or wrecked or something, right?
Rohna's armor flows over her body like lava down a mountainside as she swings her hammer around her head and brings it down on the caster again. And now Mitra moves over the fallen storekeeper.

Did you remember the +1 to hit (and +3 damage) from Tondrek's magic weapon? It might make a difference here!
Also, looks like you forgot to summon your armor this time - enough showing off how tough you are! Cover yourself!
Roswyn rolls her eyes as Harkin bursts out of the skycoach. The hardest part of this job isn't the opposition... it's getting your damn fool client to listen to your advice...
She steps out of the coach and holds her orb aloft to catch the sunlight. The crystal briefly gleams with white light, then a prism of colors leaps out towards the side of the wagon. It expands and pools around the feet of the remaining kobold slinger, where it scintillates enticingly.
OOC: Still slightly unsure about the wagon situation, if it's obvious that the wagon is immediately and easily drivable by a kobold, she will not give this advice to Harkin.
"HARKIN!" she screams. "GO AROUND THE LIGHTS, GO THROUGH THE WAGON! THEN GRAB YOUR PA AND PULL HIM INTO THE WAGON!"
Actions
Move action: Move to N7
Standard action: Hypnotic Pattern on Q17.
(Immediate action: Roswyn will use Fade Away if she is hit by an attack.)
I'm pretty sure that will hit K2 and S1 but not W. Hopefully W will be dead, anyway.
Pull K2: P14->Q15->Q16
Pull S1: P16->Q17
And both are slowed until end of Roswyn's next turn.

I'll update tomorrow, I'm getting tired. It will give Vertexx time to edit and summon armor. Also, the wagon could be again boarded by the kobolds, but they have more important things to worry about. Like the warforged that just cut one of their friends in half.
