Updated to add Zaram, who was a bit further back and thus missed the initial action.
[sblock=OOC]I will try desperately to keep my post lengths under control for this game.
We're starting in media res I'll fill in more of the back story in future posts.[/sblock]
Among the bustle of metropolises like Sharn it's easy to forget just how uninhabited most of Khorvaire is. The Orien trade road to the small town that is your destination is well kept, but after almost four days of walking without seeing another soul you're reminded that no matter where men draw lines on maps most of the continent is a vast untamed wilderness.
As the road takes a bend you see fresh footprints made by small clawed feet. A band of small rust-colored reptilian creatures boils out from either side of the road with a chorus of high pitched shrieks and charges you. One particularly enthusiastic one charges Adain, seeing him an easy target, but Brock cuts it down with a practiced chop of his warhammer.
That one blow brings the front rank reptilian charge up short as nervous chattering starts up among the would be-ambushers.
Snarling a pair of tough looking Kobolds push through their ranks and advance on the party.
The "front" rank hang back and throw javelins ineffectually.
The tough-looking Kobolds, each carrying a shield made from a single dragon scale, prove more effective, slashing Brock with quick blows.
Brock narrowly ducks as a clay pot almost hits his face, shattering at Torn's feat to disgorge some sort of caustic flaming goo. In the back rank a kobold hisses and begins reload its sling.
[sblock=Combat]
Brocks attack was an AoO triggered by it moving past him to attack Adain (I think you get get those even when you have combat advantage from not having gone yet?)
Fight 1|Round 1 Initiative:
20 Kobolds - throw javelins -- the rolls on Brock and Adain should have been at +2 since they had combat advantage; (torn too but Brock gives him cover)
19 Kobold Dragonshields -- Hit Brock for 9 damage
19 Kobold Slinger -- Missed Brock with it's firepot by 1. AC 18
14 Zaram Init roll.
13 Torn
02 Brock hp 24/33
01 Adain
