The group explodes into action, nearly killing the rider on the wolf before he has a chance to act and bloodying two other dwarves. The storm swirls to an end, finishing off the dwarven rider and dropping him dead to the ground.

The wolf bites Kauldron for 9 damage, knocking the goblin off its feet with the force of the blow.

The dwarven hammerer next to Kauldron swings its warhammer down and slams the goblin's chest for 7 damage. Kauldron tastes blood in his mouth as he groans in pain.

The other Hammerer shifts to put Hrav between it an the wolf before slamming its warhammer into Hrav's back for 12 damage.

Each of the dwarf bolters shift to get away from the melee. One launches a bolt at Girth, but misses. The other one shoots at Hrav, but it misses as well.

Hrav viciously stabs the dire wolf with Black Death, then vaults away before the dwarf can even attempt to swing his hammer. The wolf is very, very close to joining its rider in Hadeys' company.

"Someone nick this little puppy and put it out of its misery!" Hrav jokes.

Dang't pokes out his head and giggles when he sees the Big Guy go to work on the wolf. No worries, Boss! Dang't's magic mean it dead! Grinning wildly, he raises the hand with Storm Talon and pushes the storm back, surrounding the bolter once again. Seeing the goblin knight down, Dang't coils and arc of lightning around his blade before shooting it over the wolf's shoulder at Kauldron's attacker. His aim is perfect, knocking the hammerer back, and bringing him to the brink of death before arcing to its companion while the winds life Dang't once again and placing him behind Girth. He chuckles again. Dang't make that one dead too![sblock=Actions]Wolf's dead (4 thunder damage at start of its turn as its in the storm will kill it).

Beyrk continues to follow as fast as his large frame will carry him. He spots the little Kauldron standing fast but starting to show wear. "Keep the kettle boiling little guy!" he shouts in encouragement. Then laughs at one of the bolters, "Looks like you've run into a little goblin trouble."

*Kauldron coughs as his world spins and the winds of a thundering boom passes over him. Blinking a moment in time, He rolls to his front and lifts his mask slighty to spew out a spray of crimson blood into a small pool. He wipes his move then slides his mask back into place.*

Oi, damn. Two fights and both times I be on me back for them. What the hell be wrong with me day. Urghh!!

*He groans and looks up just in time to hear the words of encouragement from Beyrk.*

Yeah, yeah. Do not worry dis punching bag be getting back up.

*He then rolls off to his other side and somersaults back to his knees, before standing back up. He smirks looking to Bolter. Twirling his blade in his hand. Then lunges forwards at her, with a quick strike to the abdomen the bolter keels over in pain. Both Kauldron and the Dwarf seem to be talking though the area is blanketed in a booming noise.*

[sblock=Actions]Move: Stand from Prone (In F17)
Minor: Divine Strength

• Effect: +3 damage on next attack.

Standard: Enfeebling Strike on B1

• Attack: 1d20+7 → [11,7] = (18)

• Damage: 1d6+7 → [1,7] = (8)
• Effect: B1 takes a -3 penalty to attack. This is on top of the -2 penalty to attack from Kauldron marking her. So, -3 to attack Kauldron, -5 to attack anyone else.

End of Turn Status: Deafened so long as Kauldron stays within the Howling Tempest. [/sblock]

[The Digger]

“YEE HAAA!” Girth screamed with joy as the wolf and another dwarf fell to the ground with multiple wounds. “For you my Lady.” His voice rose almost to fever pitch.

Then, turning his attention to the remaining dwarves, he caressed his magical rod. “Now, my Lady” he whispered “I offer to you all these others as a tribute to thy magnificence.”

As he spoke, a kind of shimmer flashed through the air grazing each of the remaining dwarves, and casting Girth’s curse upon each of them.

His eyes gleamed as he thrust forth his hand causing a ferocious ball of flame to erupt next to the two southern dwarves. Unfortunately, although the hammerer was well caught in the flames the bolter managed to avoid the explosion.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2359432/
Curse: 4 damage - a total of 9 damage on the hammerer.[/sblock]

Just as he was about to vault away from the newly enraged hammerer Girth hesitated and looked skyward, his eyes blank. “As you command, my Lady.”

Then, with a rushed gesture, he attempted yet another attack on the hammerer. Unfortunately his attack was a little too rushedand it swept well wide.

“Oh sh…!” exclaimed Girth who immediately usede his powers to blink out of existence, appearing a second later close behind Beryk, covered with shadow and almost indistinguishable.

[sblock=OOC]Ethereal Stride: teleport to I23; gain concealment and +2 to all defences[/sblock]

 

[covaithe]

Quagmire scans the dying enemies with an amused grin. He turns and locks eyes with the last hammerer. "Guess that means you're next," he rumbles. He carefully backs away from the wolf, giving its massive jaws a wide berth, then charges the dwarf with a wild yell. His blade cuts deeply, and the dwarf reels. Suddenly, while its defenses are down, Quagmire strikes again, blade neatly cutting one of its armor straps on its way through to delivering another blood-fountaining wound.

[sblock=actions]Shift to G20
Charge to J19 and attack D3, hits AC 26 for 13 damage.
AP: Warlord's strike, CRIT for 20+2=22, and until the end of my next turn, allies gain a +5 bonus to damage rolls against D3.

[Phoenix8008]

[sblock=OOC]Stonegod, Dang't did 21 damage to D2, but it had 28 hps, leaving it with 7. Which means the 4 damage from the storm at the start of its turn wouldn't kill it. Unless I'm missing something here? Which is entirely possible of course. Also, since Kauldron got shifted into the tempest, he takes 4 damage at the start of his turn as well. Unless Dang't posts first and ends or moves the zone so that his turn ends before Kauldron starts his I suppose. I also question whether Kauldron would be deafened by entering the howling tempest when it is just being sustained. The deafness is only listed in the 'Hit' section which wouldn't apply to Kauldron because he wasn't targeted when it was cast. There is no deafness listed in the 'Effect' section where the persisting zone effects are spelled out.[/sblock]
[sblock=Map]

[/sblock]
The party continues their hyper-destructive rampage as the dire wolf and the northern bolter fall to the power of Dang'ts storm after being weakened by the attacks of the group. The northern hammerer barely hangs on to its life, though it is bleeding severely. The hammerer next to Quagmire is bleeding also, though the bolter behind him is untouched so far.

The remaining hammerer dwarves look at each other with a grim sense of finality in their eyes. The dwarf near Hrav and Quagmire looks back at the female dwarf behind him and says a gruff "Go!" to her with a choked up voice. He shifts to the right and smashes his shield at Quagmire, but misses. The other hammerer tries the same tactic against Kauldron and hits the goblin for 13 damage, knocking him prone again. The famale dwarf moves to the doors east of her and opens them up before sprinting down the hallway as fast as her short legs can carry her. (Move to L20, Minor to open doors, Standard to use another move action to run 7 squares to L27. (D2 made save to end deafness.)
