OOC: I'll post in this spot later tonight. Sorry for the delay. I'm adjusting to all of the "Spring" activities available to me since the return of that big yellow thing hanging in the sky, uh...what's it called...? Oh yeah... The Sun!!!!

GM: [MENTION=85539]Tenchuu[/MENTION]: Not sure what you're doing here. Technically, a readied action isn't resolved until it triggers, so spending an AP to cover a missed readied action doesn't seem possible (APs can only be spent on your turn, and the readied action would resolve on the kobold's turn, if it triggers at all). Theoretically, you could have spent the AP before you rolled the readied action, but if this were the case, you would be targeting squares with nothing in them (the kobolds have moved back into the antechamber). I'm missing something here. Help me out .

The beleaguered thri-kreen stands up and lashes out at the kobolds surrounding him with his only weapon, his claws. One of his attacks catches a kobold in the face, but there are just so many of them.

Tikchik's mandibles click together quickly, his nerves are on edge.

OOC: Edited. Sorry about that. AP was a left over from my haste to post. I used it last round. So, no AP, just a missed readied.

Things are looking better, and I should be back to normal posting. If you are interested, details are: here.

A lone kobold steps out into view, but before he can get too far, Fenwick and Rujah are upon him. Rujah swings his hammer wide, but Fenwick catches the hapless reptile slashing deep into its shoulder.

"Ssssssss! Sari wer pit mrith wux!" The kobold hisses a hateful curse at the duo.[sblock=Rujah]The kobold is hissing,"Into the pit with you!"[/sblock]Before either Rujah or Fenwick can react, the kobold steps to the side, stomping its clawed foot on the intersection between two floor tiles. The action causes the floor to shudder and give way sweeping all three of them into a pit twenty feet below.

The pit seems to be divided. Fenwick and the kobold fall down one shaft, while Rujah falls down another into an unknown darkness.

Two other kobolds come forward carrying a make-shift bridge and lay it across the pit.

As they do this Mervin springs into action, "You won't get away with that!" Tiny furies fly from the wizard's fingertips and pick away at the the kobolds' faces, "Aaaaah! Make it ssssstop!"

The Rat Master, however, has ideas of unleashing pestilence of its own. Crossing the plank bridge, both the kobold and its infectious entourage move right into the midst of the remaining adventurers. Rats scurry everywhere biting at Riardon and Gensai.

The kobold sorcerer emerges from the stinking cloud, walks out onto the bridge, and sends howling winds down the corridor that grab Gensai and smash him against the wall. The blademaster stumbles and falls into the pit, disappearing into the darkness.

Riardon and Mervin look at each other, suddenly realizing that they are alone.

Just so you know:

[/sblock][sblock=Cells]Fenwick and the kobold fall down the shaft, separated, perhaps forever, from Rujah. Fenwick lands hard, crumpling to the floor, for that is what it is, on top of what appears to be a chamber pot, and from the smell, it has not been cleaned out since its last use. A quick glance around reveals that he and his kobold assailant have ended up in some kind of prison cell, a little less than a dozen feet across. A small pallet lies in the corner of the room, and through the barred cell door, Fenwick can see a couple more kobold guards who look like they have their hands full dealing with an unruly prisoner in a cell down the way to his left.

The kobold in the cell with Fenwick stirs, but Fenwick is ready for him. While the orc contemplates his next move he hears a howling cry coming from the shaft above.

"Aaaaaaaah!" Gensai tumbles down the shaft in the ceiling and lands in a heap on the pallet next to Fenwick, "Ooooh my head."

The first of the kobolds in Sheng' s cloud is clueless as to its enemy's whereabouts, and seeks advice from its comrade "Svaklar re astahii?"

"Svanoa jalla vucoti?" replies the other as it lashes out in all directions, seriously clipping Tikchik, bringing the thri-kreen to the floor again, "Itheik! Jahus batobot wux??"

"Thric." comes a fork-tongued reply from somewhere in the mist

"Bensvelk. Hak si siofme si itrewica ir." the second hisses again.

"Ssssssssaaaah" The first kobold then lunges forward in the direction of Tikchik's moans cutting deeply into the insectoid's carapace.

The scouts outside the cloud, send electric attacks ad-hoc into the swirling mist, hoping to do some damage, and they do. Sheng howls in pain despite his arcane protections.

[/sblock]

GM: I neglected to notice in previous rounds that Sheng's shroud is actually a close burst 1, granting total concealment to anything inside. Since I've been neglecting the expanded range of concealment bonus on both sides, I'm hoping everyone will forgive me for the oversight. From now on, I will apply the bonus properly to adjacent squares.

GM: @renau1g : I NPC'd Voda Vosa's move, and updated this post to reflect the kbolds' moves as well. Now all good guys have their turn.

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: In that case, I'll NPC his move and do the bad guys in the prison before Fenwick and Gensai drop in with their kobold cellmate. Might be tonight before I get to it though. I'll do this by editing "Cells" in the post above.

 

[Walking Dad]

OOC: What about Riardon's readied readied ranged basic attack (+13/1d6+9)? Are the trapdoors still hidden? I cannot see them on the map.

 

[Tenchuu]

OOC: DM: Can you update my HP in the status block? I'm not sure if I am bloodied or not.

"Didn't I say we should take the stairs?" Gensai asked rhetorically.

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: What about Riardon's readied readied ranged basic attack (+13/1d6+9)?

GM: Dang! Forgot about that! 1d20+13=32 vs. AC for 1d6+9=13 dmage. Thus the fall into the pit kills Kobold Pikeman 1.

OOC: Are the trapdoors still hidden? I cannot see them on the map.

GM: There is only one pit trap that you can see, and it is on the map (K46-L47). It is spanned by the make-shift bridge (K47-L47).

OOC: DM: Can you update my HP in the status block? I'm not sure if I am bloodied or not.

GM: Done. He's bloodied, and getting bloodier (OG 5).
