[sblock=OOC: Delay to monday]Really sorry. Can't post today. I have work and family in town and now more homework.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Monday became tuesday. Sorry. Fixing my priorities now.[/sblock]

Cloaked by the sound of the waterfall the group comes face to face with a surprised kobold in the chamber beyond the waterfall. More kobolds are visible further back in the cave apparently waiting for you to enter through the northern entrance so they can pounce.

You have the drop on them, for now.

[sblock=Initiative and my prior mistakes]
You can only take a single standard action in a surprise round.
I was wrong before (to the detriment of kinem/brock) but I see no reason to continue to perpetuate my crimes.

So the PCs get one surprise action, then the NPCs will roll init and join for round one.

OOC: Little time to post, just details. Zaram will throw the javelin he had pulled out earlier. If kobolds are out of range/sight then he will move as close as he can to them.

Tyron attacks the nearest scirmisher's mind with his dread powers.

Iridian launches two arrows at the nearby kobold minions but misses with both. He then shifts south in front of Adain aiming to stay back with Tyron.

Brock moves up and tries to knock out the nearest kobold with his warhammer, but misses.

[sblock=ooc]13 vs AC, 7 dam

If Brock strikes down any kobolds he will choose to do nonlethal damage. This will be his policy from now on unless stated otherwise.[/sblock]

ooc:short post better than no post, right?

Zaram hits with his javelin killing the minion.

Tyron pummels the skirmisher mentally, it's primitive brain erase the warlocks existence from his mind in a desperate attempt to ease the agony.

Iridian hits and kills two of the startled minions (ooc:you have combat advantage against them in the surprise round... I think)

Brock charges the nearest kobold KA3, seeking to disable it, and connects solidly bloodying it. (ooc:you have combat advantage against them in the surprise round... I think and, to move and attack you have to be charging so that's another +1)

Adain hammers the nearly dead KA3 and fortifies himself.
