Adventure: Poisoned to the Core DM: FourMonos Judge: KarinsDad

River can clearly hear a low mumble behind him, though it sounds rather unpleasant. Like a thousand gnome sailors singing a dirge, or maybe demons making sweet promises to innocent victims. The sound continues to get louder until suddenly it silences in the immediate area and the creatures around Muzdum go rigid.

If River were to look back toward Pok, he would see the gnome holding a hand over his mouth, with a nasty scowl on his face and pointing a wand a Grizzo.

Rumbum grins, lifting his ax, "Oh! Oh! I get that one!" With a charge, he rushes down the goon.

The orc is all laughs as his ax impacts sickeningly into the human.

The dwarf jumps forward, taunting and swinging. Grizzo and two humans fall for the trick, taking blows to the face and body. Pok lands his whisper enchantment on two of the targets. Rumbum and Tondrek both land heavy blows. Grizzo responds by slaming Muzdum hard, but Pok's enchantments knock him to the floor before he shakes off the spell. The goon leader also lands a blow against Muzdum. Both archers land perfect shots against River and Tondrek, leaving each of them realing from the blows.

Muzdum's armour glows as he is hit, magically closing some of the dwarf's wounds. He steels himself, resorting to the boundless endurance his kin is well known for. As if nothing has just happened, Muzdum gives a bluffed axe swing, impacting the leader in the face, before grabbing his weapon arm. The jumpy dwarf seems more dangerous than ever, ready to counter any incoming attack with a fist in the face.

Using Dwarven scale armour power to regain 16 hp
Also use a minor action to spend the second wind, gaining additional 16 hp and +2 to all defences.
Also use another minor action to activate Bare-knuckled rebuke stance: When an enemy adjacent to Muzdum misses Muzdum with a melee attack, Muzdum Attacks: +14 vs AC (unarmed), (HIT) 1d6+8 damage, and the target grants combat advantage to Muzdum until the end of his next turn.
Grappling strike: 25 vs AC for 13 dmg and the goon leader is marked and grabbed.
