"I hate being a pawn, but it seems we have to play this game to further ourselves."

Nyar points 'Tinder' to the southern kobolds.

"I might suggest that we stay back from the podium in case our 'benefactors' wanted to contribute their trouble to this mix."

With a flick of the wand, fire explodes near the southern kobolds.

[sblock=actions] Scorching burst +8. #3 1d20+8 → [7,8] = (15), #4
1d20+8 → [15,8] = (23) Roll Lookup

Damage 1d6+6, 1d6 → ([4, 6], [6]) Roll Lookup So 10 damage, and if I hit the first one 15 vs. reflex he takes 16.

**Hit both**

Shift to square I 14

**I14 is two squares away and occupied by Baern. I've placed you in H14.**[/sblock]

The flame clears and the kobolds charge through the smoke angry and charred. One of the northern group shouts "Wizard!" and the duo veers their course slightly to slice into the wizard twice over.

The other two come up at Dalvach. He deflects one blow but the other cuts him well.

[sblock=OOC] Ok this is probably my fault (it is) and I'm totally cool if you don't let it go off but I'd like to use my Immediate Interrupt of Endure Pain Utility to resist 8 of that damage. Again, if it's not okay then that's that. That being said, Nyar I said move south! grrr...[/sblock]

Baern moves slowly to react to the sudden charge of the kobolds. His small axe swings out trying to keep the kobolds from charging Nyar but it comes up short.

The hand over his shounder draws out a wicked looking waraxe. It has multiple serrated edges and spines all over it Claw whispers the dwarf. He looks to the kobold right next to him and brings the large axe down on its head. He follows up with a chopping swing with his smaller handaxe. His face is set grim as he puts up his guard against the attackers. Stay close, wizard, claw will keep them away.

[sblock=ooc]Sorry for the delay, busy couple of days. Once the kobolds go, Nyar, you can post at any time. No need to wait for the others PCs allies to be resolved.

+2 damage to kobolds recognized. This bloodies one of the kobolds.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC] I just edited my above post for my turn instead of making a new one. Nyar's up then right?[/sblock]

"Ugh! Ouch" Nyar grunts with the kobold's attacks.

Almost as quickly as he feels the damage, Nyar feels enlightened and energized by Dalvach's presence and mental encouragements.

With an apologetic look to Baern, Nyar steps back from the two charging kobolds and levels his wand at the one still realing from Baern's blow. With power behind the movement, an arcane bolt flies straight and true into the kobold's chest.

With an apologetic look to Baern, Nyar steps back from the two charging kobolds and levels his wand at the one still realing from Baern's blow. The follow in his wake as if drawn in by his motions. With power behind the movement, an arcane bolt flies straight and true into the kobold's chest and collapses in a heap, two swords swingy through the air in response.

The kobolds quickly slide into a new formation their anger clearly aimed at the powerful wizard. Two more swords dig into his side.

As the kobold next to Baern strikes out at Nyar, the dwarf swings his large axe to intercept it. He lops off the creature's head and turns to face the remaining two.

[sblock=OOC] Kobold 4 triggers Battle Awareness, Baern gets a MBA as an immediate interrupt 1d20+9=24 (vs AC) for 1d12+7=16 damage. Dead![/sblock]

I told you wizard, Claw likes blood but I can control him. He glances at the remaining two and focuses on the injured creature. Faster than the eye can follow, Baern throws his small handaxe at the kobold. The axe flies high over the creature's head, but it was just a distraction as Baern charges in with his giant waraxe held in both hands. Another head is lopped off by the now blood-stained Claw.

[sblock=ooc] Scorpius, nice new pic! Can you check my math? I think I had 6 THP from Dalvach and 31 HP after heal, so I think I have 27HP now. Also, this is a newbie question, can you have more than one mark on you? I thought one mark would overwrite the other? Thanks
