Well, it seems my work here is done... I think? PM me if you need anything. Thanks KD! [/sblock]

Nyar clenches his eyes as the gargantuan stone being rushes out of his cage... then right past the band of battered adventurers. He stands jaw agape as it takes an amazing leap up the wall toward the arena tormentors.

"Am I imagining this, or is the stone guy on our side?"

He looks back across the arena at the hobgoblins and the lizardman, now eyeing the man... elemental... thing, climbing the walls of the arena.

"I think we need to slow these guys down so they don't get the big guy from behind." Nyar shouts out again, "WE HAVE NO FIGHT WITH YOU GLADIATORS! WALK AWAY AND WE BOTH WIN. IF YOU COME FORWARD, YOU FIND IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!"

With a wave of his wand, a column of lightning bursts into creation in front of the hobgoblins.

Baern's eyes open wide at Cairn's display of athletics. The dwarf stows the two handaxes that Nyar tossed his way. He reaches behind his shoulder and pulls out the ominous looking Claw, a giant waraxe with barbs and spikes. He looks at the far opponents, taking their measure and then mutters Let them come to us if they dare.

[sblock=OOC] 3 minor actions this turn, stow 2 handaxes and draw other waraxe. Next turn I will be ready with an attack, but if Nyar or I are attacked I will use Disruptive Strike. Dalvach, come over here next to me

I think I figured out the milestone, it means I can use my other magic item daily now. Correct me if I am wrong...

Sorry, Neurotic, but no powers from this ranger...

"You don't understand how this works mage." the Hobgoblin with the Halberd yells out. He then says to his companion "Concentrate on one at a time. Kill him and then move on to the next one." By the way he handles himself and his weapon, he appears to be a very capable combatant.

Both Hobgoblins reach Dalvach and stab him quickly.

Stats


White boxes are doors or portcullises. Wavy lines are curtains. The walls are 35 ft and lined with spikes, except on the platform. That's 40 ft and lined with spikes.

Climb DC for Walls is 16. Or 10 with a rope. 22 to get over the spikes safely.


Note: Cairn could see the Changling on top of the platform, but the Changling moved out of view. Cairn now cannot see anyone on top of the platform, but they cannot see him either. Veruza saw the Changling move into the crowd, but quickly loses sight of him. Nobody else saw where the Changling moved to.


Note: I fixed the map due to Nyar's actions.

It's the PCs' turns.

Veruza makes her way up the stadium seating, rudely shoving people to move quickly. Scanning the crowd for the changeling the entire way, she was trying to formulate a plan, but was too far away to help her sister or her friends.

Move N1

Minor Perception 25 Insight 29 Find the Changeling

Standard action depends on if changeling was found

Nyar put a storm pillar at G14 I believe, before the move.

Thanks for taking over KD!

Unfortunately for Veruza, the Changeling was out of sight when it attempted to change shape and hide in the crowd. By the time Veruza gets to the top of the stairs, all she sees is a sea of people at the far side.

Veruza steadies herself for the inevitable attack.
