"I'm not so tough as Crag here," he says. "But I do have some talents.""Would you care for a demonstration?" he quips in his best shop-keeper voice. He raises his left hand, and an enormous wave of flame reaches out from inside the darkness of his shroud. Seeing his foes shift their focus over towards Jax, Crag swung his blade around him in a threatening manner, hoping to keep the guards distracted enough for Jax to get out of reach.  Although the ice that Dorn threw out at him and the guards gunked up some of his joints, when a couple of the guards took a threatening step towards the kobold, Crag stepped in between two of them and stabbed southward, piercing the guards armor and inflicting a minor wound.  The metal chassis protecting Crag's organic innards became infused with the strength of the ground beneath his feet and he silently thanked the spirits of the earth for their assistance."Jax, you can't just stand there and get pounded on, like me!  Thank you for helping, but I can handle it from here!"[sblock=Meepo]You see that the dwarf is actually strapped onto the wall with some leather straps! [/sblock]Meepo didn't take hanging from the wall lying down, whatever that would mean. When neither his own weight nor Ingot pulling at him worked, he concocted a new plan. He began to pull himself up the whip when the dwarf fired a shot that made him lose his grip. He caught himself by the loop of the handle and and gave his best draconic roar. With the fury of his ancestor he scaled the wall, landing on all fours in front of the dwarf, his dagger clutched in his teeth."You're mine, stupid stoneface."Jax's crossbow bolt wounds begin to mend with the help of Ingot's deity. Now feeling almost a second wind of bravery, Jax stabs wildly at Crag's human target until he hits something soft. Then, he bravely runs away into the treeline. His blade drops the injured guard.The thick bushes give way under Jax's weight surprisingly easily, leaving an obvious trail as to where he went.The dwarf presses a latch on his straps and then rappels down the far side of the wall, "I'll be gettin' ya later kobold!" as he drops to the ground, running towards the entrance of the cavern.The gnomes focus on Ingot, drawing heavy picks and one of them slams the weapon into the warforged, the other slips on the rubble and nearly falls. The guard in the shroud stumbles through the darkness and sees the cleric's exposed back. His weapon glances off the armored plating though.The warrior facing Crag tries his luck, but the blow is easily deflected by the heavy shield. The man's face blanches at the ineffectiveness of his swing as he steps away from Crag.[sblock=Actions]Dwarf - unstraps (minor), grabs them and swings down <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2514117/" target="_blank">1d20+4=23</a> (Acrobatic stunt) moving to L12 (draws OA from Meepo with -2 to hit from prone), then runs to I19 Gnome 11 stows weapon (move), draws pick (minor), attacks Ingot - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2514120/" target="_blank">vs ac; dmg (1d20+7=25, 1d8+3=8)</a> hits for 8Gnome 87 moves up and attacks Ingot with a pick - <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2514119/" target="_blank">vs ac; dmg (1d20+7=8, 1d8+3=5)</a> nice .
