[OOC: I've assumer Pieter had already expended his daily cure spell when you rescued him, but now the night has passed he can of course now offer some help to whomever we feel needs it most.]

Curious as to what lies behind the door, Tock takes up a position close to Bartleby.

Tock takes up the rearguard as they backtrack to the locked door, occasionally looking behind for any would-be ambushers.

RECAP (and initiative order for second round): Erevan, in melee with one drake in the marketplace Renestrae, in the marketplace (no longer hidden after her attack) Kobolds, currently trying to set fire to a wagon off to one side of the marketplace - unaware of anything else at present Paine, in...

[Miri loses her action, cultists are up next] Two of the three cultists carrying looted barrels have fallen, and only one remains. He backs away towards the oak tree, trying to put some distance and cover between him and your group. "Crag! Where are those damned drakes of yours?!" he shouts in...

Pieter is heartened to see that some sanity remains within Vindar and gladly shares his rations with him. "We'll get you out my friend. Mighty Typhon has seen fit to send these adventurers to rescue us. I will have you safe in a temple infirmary by this time tomorrow." Remaining close to...

"Well, I mean..." Pieter stammers, thinking of the rich tapestries, gold icons and statues, exquisite sculptures and other such things in the Temple of Typhon. Perhaps coin and faith were more closely related than he had thought. "...I suppose it could be worth something to the right person. But...

"Oh, this?" Pieter replies to Midgrim, holding aloft the ancient fingerbone. "This, my friend, is a holy relic of one of Typhon's faithful. And it became warm just before we were attacked. Perhaps Typhon himself sought to warn us of the dangers we face... I would like very much to hold on to it...

Paine moves forward and hops up on a small wooden bench behind an abandoned stall, but as he gathers his powers it gives way and he loses his footing briefly - breaking his concentration enough that the blast of magic flies wide and misses his foe, Orcassm has better luck from where he is, a...

To avoid confusing myself further I'll default to normal initiative for the current combat but will take your advice on board for future surprise rounds. Thanks for the feedback though, always handy when you're learning a new ruleset.

[OOC: I think I've screwed up the initiative/surprise rounds a bit here so I'll just go with normal initiative order now - sorry all! Thanks for the feedback in the OOC thread, will bear this in mind for future] The female cultist nocks an arrow and draws a bead on Erevan. A wicked smile plays...

[Tock spends a hit dice, 1d10 = 3] http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4816276/ Now on 11 / 17 HP

Hi all. Regarding the combat in the marketplace that's now underway - We have six PCs on one side, two with successful Stealth checks. On the other side, cultists and kobolds. My first assumption was a surprise round for the two stealthy PCs but actually having read the 5ed Basic Rules I don't...

James the Gnome takes heed of Erevan's warning, and hurriedly starts to back up the cart and manoeuvre it behind a nearby wall which might hide them from sight. Meanwhile, you all approach the market square. Erevan closes the distance first, sacrificing stealth for speed. Taking aim, he lands...

"I agree - let's have a break from this horrid place, and return on a new day, fresh and rested. We'll need to get poor Vidnar out of his chains and take him with us - I will see if I can find sanctuary for him at the temple." says Pieter, making no attempt to hide his relief at the suggestion...

A thought stirs in Tock's memory. "That room with the shambling corpses... did we manage to unlock the large door in there? Would it be worth trying this key?" [OOC: Thanks for the recap Li Shenron, not sure about anyone else but I'm definitely guilty of totallylosing track of where we'd been...

[OOC: Just need an initiative and action from Miri. Renestrae has managed to beat the cultist's passive perception so she has a surprise round (and possibly Miri too). I'm happy for people to make and post dice rolls in whichever fashion they find easiest.] INITIATIVE ORDER: Erevan; 20; 15/20...

It will take two move actions to close to melee with either the kobolds or cultists so I'll assume you're taking the chill touch option. It looks like combat is about to commence, so it's time to roll initiative! Also - Paine, and anyone else who wants to sneak in for a potential surprise...

The main road through the centre of the town seems the quickest way to reach the keep. You pass the bloodied corpses of kobolds, cultists... but mostly unarmed men, women and even children. Many of the buildings look to have been have been ransacked, razed to the ground by fire, or both. As you...

Pieter holds back with the Dwarves, trying not to think of what kind of vicious traps a crazed Dwarf-kobold-father might possibly have left behind for unwary trespassers... and waits to hear if it is safe to proceed.
