Melee attack with spear is d20 +6 vs Kathra’s AC. Roll 8+6=14, not good enough for our poor Kobold. Reverting back to his shifty nature, he uses a minor action to shift 5 feet (Kobold racial ability), this however triggers Kathra’s ability Combat Challenge, that whenever an adjacent enemy shifts you may take an immediate action to make a basic attack against the foe. Kathra can only have one immediate action per round, so if this were to happen again, she would be unable to activate this ability a second time this round. This kobold is going to learn the hard way not to stand next to a 4E fighter. Kathra rolls a basic attack vs the Kobolds AC, d20+6. Roll 12+6=18 that’s good enough to hit the dragon scum. Kathra now rolls 1d10+5 for damage. Roll 8+5=13. The kobold skirmisher takes 13 points of damage and is now bloodied. Which means it’s at least through half its hit points. The kobolds minor action takes place and it is now 1 square away from Kathra. Using its move action it moves back 6 spaces to it’s original spot near the other opening in the cavern.</p><p></p><p><strong>Erias</strong>: Being too far out of range to do anything effective, he decides to move up behind the meat shield and hope that people will target her instead. He spends a move and a standard action to move up to Kathra. He still has a minor action, but Tira is too far out of range of his healing power so if she wants some healing she’ll have to get closer.</p><p></p><p><strong>Enter the reinforcements</strong>:</p><p></p><p>4 kobolds armed with spears, and 1 wearing scale and holding a shield enter from the passage way the skirmisher backed up towards.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kobold Wyrmpriest</strong>: The priest dusts off his robes, reaches his claws into the air and begins to mumble something in draconic. A ball of flame appears in his hand and he hurls it at Tira. This uses his standard action, d20+6 vs Tira’s reflex. Roll 19+6=25, even though Tira is still concealed, she also ran last turn so she grants combat advantage to her enemies, which negates the concealment. it’s a hit. The ball of flame strikes Tira in the chest for 1d10+3 damage, 5 points of fire damage. Tira is now down 14 hit points total and is still on fire, she is also bloodied, if she or her enemies have any abilities that trigger off of this condition they can take effect now. The Priest uses his move action to move 6 squares closer to Tira, and spends a minor action to shift one square (Kobold Racial ability, shifting normally takes a move action). He is now 3 squares away from Tira. At the end of the wyrmpriests turn he needs to make a save against Tira’s slide effect, if not Tira can spend a minor action to continue to slide the wyrmpriest on her turn. Roll 12, the priest saves.</p><p></p><p><strong>Tira</strong>: Tira is hurting, as soon as her turn begins she takes 2 fire damage from burning. She’s now at 12 hit points left. She decides to use her at will <strong>Eyebite</strong> power which is d20+5 (+1 extra for having no allies closer to the target) vs the Priests Will Defense. Roll 11+5=16. The priest reels and clutches his head, 1d6+4 psychic damage and an additional 1d6. Roll 1+1+4=6 psychic damage. The priest is down a total of 20 hitpoints and is now bloodied. The secondary effect of <strong>eyebite</strong> is that she is now invisible to the priest for one round. With her move action she moves 6 squares closer to Erias hoping that he will be able to drop some healing love on her. With a minor action she curses the armored kobold because he’s now her closest enemy. At the end of Tira’s turn she needs to roll a saving throw to try and put out the fire. On a roll of 10 or higher on a d20 she is no longer on fire, 9 or lower and she’s still burning. Roll 1. Tira is still on fire.</p><p></p><p><strong>Skamos</strong>: “Time for me to melt some faces.” Skamos’ uses his daily power <strong>Acid Arrow </strong> and targets the armored kobold, and uses a minor action to trigger his encounter power Infernal Wrath to add +1 to his next attack roll. It’s a d20+6 now vs the armored kobolds Reflex defense. Roll 12+6=18 it’s better than the dragonshields Reflex so it does 2d8+5 acid damage and an ongoing 5 acid damage until the dragonshield makes a saving throw. Roll 7+5=12 damage to the Dragonshield. The secondary effect of the spell is that it can now target the adjacent creatures, again its d20+5 vs the reflex of the 3 minions it can hit. Roll 11+5=16, 12+5=17, and 14+5=19. All three minions are hit and melt from the splash damage from the arrow.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kobold Slinger</strong>: The kobold slinger stays behind the altar and slings more shot at Tira.

Roll 6+6=12, not enough to hit the Dragonshield. However, whenever a fighter misses with his daily power it’s not expended so she will be able to use it again.
