Dragonborn lances, I knew it! Either that or Spheres of Annihilation bowling balls!

| GM: | @Luinnar : Close, but no cigar! Try Elemental Accelerant and Alchemical Fire. I had to keep it level-appropriate .
BTW: I might have missed something, but by my count, Attack 2 on Rain of Blows reduces Blademaster 1 to 5hp, Attack 3 kills him
Subsequently, Human Ruffian 3 at U6 takes no damage from Rain of Blows and only needs to make 1 athletics check. |

Mab scrables to the corner of the bar unnoticed, but popping up just long enough to send a dagger flying across the common room. The nimble blade sinks into the shoulder of one of the thugs. Before the brute can see the origin of the attack, Mab ducks out of sight and back to the bar gate.
Draglin's blow sends another of the ruffians tumbling behind the bar, where
he catches a glimpse of Mab. Smiling at her vilely, he rises and turns on her allies. From within his tunic, he produces a small pouch and pours its contents into his hand. With a flourish, he scatters what looks like scintillating dust across the floor on the other side of the bar. The dust falls on Virgil, Draglin, Dante, and Max and coats the floor around them as well.
The heros are mystified. What is this stuff? Then, as if in answer to their question, the trap is sprung. The thug with the knife reaches down to his belt, to which is tied something that looks like a gourd. Opening the top of the gourd, he flings the liquid contents into the dusted area.
Fire erupts in a huge flash, singing Max and Draglin, though, by a stroke of luck, Virgil and Dante escape unharmed. The dust, however, is not consumed in the attack, and the thug begins to eye one of the torches on the wall.
Taking advantage of the distraction, the rest of the neer-do-wells move in on Draglin. The dragonborn, again, crumples to the floor in a heap,
"And stay down!" shouts the man with the whip as he pounds the scaled fighter to the ground with his mace.
Some how they all manage to clear the dusted area before the adventurers have time to react.

[/sblock][sblock=Terrain: Please Read][sblock=Furniture]
- This will be treated as difficult terrain, but Creatures that are hit while standing in a square that is more than 1/4 occupied by a piece of furniture are subject to a DC 18 athletics check. Failure means that the creature falls prone in a random square adjacent to the piece of furniture and takes 1d6 points of damage.
- Dropping (or falling) prone behind furniture gives you total concealment and superior cover against any creature on the opposite side of the furniture. From any angle, it provides normal cover, but no concealment. From the same side, you are simply prone.
- Chairs and stools can be moved 1 square as a minor action, but tables and benches require a standard action. Moving anything further than one square expends a standard action and a move action. (I'm going to assume that everyone here is strong enough to move a table so no strength check ).
- Chairs, stools, food, plates, cutlery, and mugs can be used as improvised weapons requiring a minor action to pick them up.
[/sblock][sblock=The Bar]More accurately, squares -v,-10 through -V,-6 and -W,-6 through -Z,-6.
- Hurdling the bar takes a 2 square jump check (Athletics DC 20), but, if successful, it allows a creature to continue its move without counting the square hurdled.
- Failure means that you fall prone on top of the bar taking 1d6 points of damage (see Furniture).
- Creatures can climb over the bar in 2 squares of movement (4 if you count the bar stools. Remember that bar stools are difficult terrain and are not included in this cost).
[/sblock][sblock=Wall Torches]
- These can be used as improvised weapons.
- To remove a torch requires a minor action.
- Hitting with a torch does 1d4 fire damage.
- If a torch is used as a ranged weapon, it can possibly set fire to something. On a roll of 1 with a d6, the target square becomes a zone in which any creature passing through the zone takes 1d4 fire damage. Every round thereafter, a 1d4 is rolled. On a roll of 1, the zone grows to an adjacent square.
[/sblock][sblock=Bystanders]
- Bystanders are the ones without illuminated bases.
- Bystanders are unarmed, and were either curious as to the outcome of the fight, but unwilling to engage, or they were trapped in the bar before they could get out,...or they are asleep in a drunken stupor, unaware of what is happening.
- For every bystander hit (whether you do it or not), the party loses 100XP (after doubling) from the encounter total.
- For every bystander killed (whether you do it or not), the party loses an additional 400XP(after doubling) from the encounter total.
[/sblock][sblock=Kitchen]
- The kitchen is behind a bar with a stove/oven visible and stairway leading up (Remember you're looking for a cellar). The oven is hot. Being pushed or slid into it deals you 1d6 damage.
- The rest of the kitchen is not yet viewable from your vantagepoint.
[/sblock][sblock=Door to the Northwest]
- You are, as of yet, uncertain where this door leads.
- Breakdown requires a DC 20 strength check.
- Picking requires a DC 20 Thievery check.
- Opening (or trying it) requires a minor action.
[/sblock][sblock=Stairway to the Southwest]This stairway leads
up. (Remember you're looking for a cellar).[/sblock][sblock=Elemental Accelerant]
