Seeing an opportunity to further shift the tide of battle in their favor, Aimhirghin focuses his will and strikes his drum sharply with a fingernail. The sound of that tap builds to a tangible force as it moves toward Basher7; when it reaches him the wave of sound slides the construct to a position just north of his opponent, setting him up to complete the shift and flank the Dragonshield before attacking again. Following up quickly, the Bard again taps a quick beat on his drum in an attempt - this time ineffective - to further damage and distract Tarrk's opponent.

Free: Virtue of Cunning on Basher7 (Slide one ally who was missed by an attack 1 square as a Free Action)
Khellek nods to Aimhirghin and turns his attention to the enemy threatening their arcane ally. He charges across the battlefield intent on a heroic rescue, but trips on a rock and nearly impales himself with the longsword.
Basher7 rides the wave of sound and then steps behind the Kobold Dragonshield (to L17) and then swings (1d20+10=27) the Craghammer down on the little bugger's head as if trying to pound him into the ground like a spike (damage (1d10.minroll(3)+6=11)).

Aimhirghin slides Basher7 one square to M17, setting him up to flank the kobold Dragonshield that he is fighting and then used his power Misdirected Mark on the Dragonshield facing Tarrk, but fails to have any effect upon it. (Tarrk’s foe is still -11hp.) Khellek races northward to assist Ellerosse against the kobold he is fighting. He arrives on the scene, but muffs his attack. Tarrk’s bad luck continues for another round, and he is unable to connect as he attempts to attack the Dragonshield that he faces. Basher7 hits his foe again, for another 11 hp of damage (-24). His foe is definitely bloodied now.
Frustrated at his previous failure, Elerosse again calls forth his arcane power...as he realizes that Khellek is standing there, Elerosse ends the spell without effect and draws his long sword.

Realizing that he's lost sight of part of the battlefield, Aimhirghin moves from behind his sheltering rock. He quickly scans the field and recognizes that while his friend Khellek could set himself up to flank his opponent Aimhirghin needs take no action there. Turning his attention back to the Dragonshield beleaguering his Minotaur comrade, the bard focuses the considerable might of his personality. His face twists with hatred and he utters a word, "Mioscais!", filled with such spite that the force of the emotion should have stricken the Dragonshield like a physical blow. Unfortunately, the Kobold pays no attention to the malice directed his way.
Humph. Probably gets worse from his mother just for getting up in the morning.

Seeing the ineffectiveness of his last strike, Khellek takes a step back and fires a beam of silver light from his holy symbol at the kobold, but the reptilian creature is easily able to dodge the attack.

Fortune does not smile on the adventurers this round -- every single one of them misses. The two Kobold Dragonshields again attack Basher7 and Tarrk with their short swords.
The successful attack by the Kobold only seems to increase the Warforged's body's efforts. Redundant systems kick in and he continues fighting with no indication of damage.
Aimhirghin sees the brash Minotaur struck again by his opponent and worries for his friend's health. Focusing his will, he slides fingers across his drumskin and speaks. "Deabhail!" The word rolls forth from his mouth and carries clearly to Tarrk's bovine ears, filling the Barbarian with a sense of well being and confidence.

OOC: If Tarrk wants to take advantage of the power just used by Aimhirghin, he will need to spend his next Standard Action by using his Second Wind to spend a healing surge (that will restore the usual number of hp, +4 extra from Aimhirghin's spell). That means no attack from Tarrk next round, if he does this.
This was dealt with in the OOC thread, and Tarrk does not have to spend his Standard Action to use the surge, so he is free to continue the fight.

DM's IMMEDIATE INTERRUPT for critical hit. (By a wizard with a longsword, no less!)
OOC: Elerosse/Lou, on a crit. you automatically deal maximum damage, see PH p. 278. You need to refigure damage, don't you? Oh, wait, Str bonus no longer applies to damage, does it? So your max is eight, then? Duhh. Nevermind.
IC: Elerosse draws his longsword and promptly disembowels the kobold minion before him.
OOC: And then there were NONE (remaining kobold minions, that is). Sorry, renau1g, the WIZARD stole your thunder. (Man, the guys will never let you live this one down! )
OOC: As you were... pray, continue the round

Leaving the eladrin to look after himself, Khellek begins moving towards the dragonshields. "Moonmaiden, guide my blade" the shifter calls out as he reaches his target. A divine radiance gleams from the weapon and when Khellek strikes the creature a illusory silver brand again appears over the creature, guiding the warforged, Basher7, in its attacks.

A couple things:
1) You're right, Khellk will be the laughing stock of the group now as he his 'heroics' put Elerose in danger, well unless Lou listened to my advice and target ony the kobold with the 'wave
2) Man alive... waking up in the middle of the night feedings sucks

Elerosse's Eladrin blood takes control over his wizard training and he draws his longsword and slashes open the belly of the kobold minion facing him. The minion is instantly completely disabled, but dies slowly, falling first to his knees, and then into a pool of entrails, whimpering softly.
Khellek, seeing that Elerosse has the situation well in-hand, moves back to the south to assist Basher7 with the Kobold Dragonshield that he is battling. Both Basher7 and Khellek attack the same Dragonshield. Khellek, indeed, connects with his attack (-10hp), but Basher7 goes beyond just "connecting" and tries to drive the scaly bugger into the ground with his mighty Craghammer! (Oddly though Basher7 only does 9hp of damage. Who knew?)
Tarrk again has trouble connecting with the Dragonshield that he faces, but Aimhirghin is at least able to grant the minotaur some healing (Healing Surge +4)
OOC: Isn't it great to have 2 party members who are healers??!! (But, Mowgli, there may well be times when you'll want to think at least twice before healing Tarrk, because sometimes Barbarians are far more scary foes when they're bloodied!)
