Gah! Totally missed that. Yeah - may need to blow the encounter then, if nothing else just to lower the enemies' amazing damage output. The skyblade in particular is destroying us with that 5 ongoing stuff. Sorry I couldn't get 'em with winged horde.

[sblock=ooc]Bah, I'm wracked with indecision... tempted to just use call of the beast to try to deny the skyblade combat advantage, which would allow Hergunna to also drink a healing potion this round. But if call of the beast misses, that will be really bad news. So probably better to try to hit both with the encounter, even if one misses, the other should die and the skyblade might not be able to get CA anyway.
On the downside, this means Hergunna will probably not be attacking next round (taking second wind).[/sblock]
Hergunna reels under the kobold's fierce attacks. Kane and Mervin come to her relief, knocking both foes to the ground. She clutches the wound in her belly, trying to hold it closed. Ignoring the dragon for the moment, she tries to press the advantage against the downed opponents, shifting into wolf form and lashing out in a whirlwind of teeth. She rips out the dragonshield's throat before it can interpose its shield, then races around and clamps down on the skyblade's face. Its horrified shrieks end abruptly as the wolf tosses her head and snaps its neck.
"Thanks Kane... I'll be right back after I catch my breath," the wolf pants as she lopes back around the corner of the wall, leaving a smear of blood from her still open wound.

Take 5 ongoing.
Minor: shift to wolf.
Standard: Predator's Flurry vs. Dragonshield, Slyblade (1d20+6=23, 1d6+5=10, 1d20+6=21, 1d20+5=21) Two hits, yeah! Oops, screwed up the second damage roll... if bob counted their hp right, it doesn't matter, but just in case: damage reroll (1d6+5=8)
Move: to -K2
End of Turn: save vs ongoing (1d20=5) Oh well.[/sblock]

"Impressive." The dragon said, not yet concerned for its own safety, or at least now showing it outwardly. "Will you let them just kill your companions like that, Kobold?"
"Great Lord, you mussst help me!" The dragonshield pleaded.
"Hmph," snorted the dragon, frost billowing from its nostrils, "Show me you are worthy."
The remaining kobold readied and charged, rushing forward toward Hergunna. With a thud it slammed its shield into Hergunna and then slipped the short sword in through her guard. Retracting the blade, the kobold stepped back, the druid's blood covering the shield face. With a grin, is retreated back toward the dragon. "Sssseee, my lord! I offer you more human blood!"
"Very well; I am hungry." The dragon flapped its wings furiously and flew up toward the group of humans. As it landed, it leaned forward, opening its massive jaws, and bellowing a huge roar. However, the Bard's Jinx caused the sound to have a high pitch at the end, almost like the dragon was asking a very loud question. As a result, it did not have the desired effect, and the creature fell flat on its face.
[sblock=Ice Hazard]
OKay... so since the OA once per turn seems to make this thing no longer impossible, going back to the original trap. I'd say the fire spell would melt the ice in that area +1, but with my DM insight, I would save the encounter power for the battle ahead.
Treacherous Ice Sheet Level 5 Obstacle
A slick sheet of ice creates a hazardous obstacle.
Hazard: This sheet of ice fills 10 contiguous squares, turning them into difficult terrain.
Perception
No check is necessary to notice the ice.
Additional Skill: Nature DC 22: The character identifies the squares of treacherous ice.
Trigger
The ice attacks when a creature enters or begins its turn in a square of treacherous ice. It also attacks when a creature stands up from prone in a square of treacherous ice.
Attack
Opportunity Action Melee
Target: Creature on the ice
Attack: +8 vs. Reflex
Hit: 1d6+2 damage and fall prone. If the creature is already prone, no damage but its turn ends immediately.
Countermeasures
With a DC 27 Acrobatic check and a move action, a character can move into a square of treacherous ice without risk of falling. If the check fails or the character move more than 1 square, the ice attacks.

I can't see an updated map tenchuu.
Also, why wasn't the push legal? Each square was further away from Kane.
started at -G1 pushed 2 so to -F0 then to -F-1

[sblock=ooc]Well that enemy round was fortuitous, ongoing 5 damage notwithstanding. Mervin has crap for crap re: healing, but I'm happy to try a heal check on Hergunna as other PCs are far more effective. What do folks think? What's the DC on that - 10? I gotta 2, but my at-wills aren't going to do much useful. The best I can do is slide one of those enemies closer to the other so that someone else can AoE them, but I'm sure Kane just breathing can do more damage than my level 2 dude.

[sblock=OOC]Can you see the map now? My usually habit is post without the map, edit to revise any mistakes, and add the map link with that edit. So for the first 4-5 minutes after I make the post, the map tends to be missing.
re: push - You're right. I take it back. I think when I moving the pieces around the map, I moved Kane to -G1 instead of -G2. Sorry about that.

Wil's grin slips for a minute as the dragon roars, but he regains his composure. Hold on, Hergunna! He calls over his shoulder before facing the wyrm. So, you are not just a beast, but the mastermind too? I will still hunt you down. He draws his bow and focuses, two shots go out towards the creature. They strike with deadly efficiency. Wil shouts something in Draconic.
[sblock=Draconic] Face me wyrm! [/sblock]
As Kane charges the dragon, Wil fires his bow as a distraction. The arrow makes a sound almost like a scream as it strikes the dragon and opens it up to Kane's attack. An aura of arcane energy surrounds the bard and the dragon can't seem to see him.
