[sblock=ooc]Yes, thank you for reminding me. Everybody gains an AP from the skill challenge just completed. The club seems devoid of patrons, all present are workers and/or enemies. The "S" is the doorman, he's hefting a spear, not a sling.[/sblock]
Tondrek cringes at the sudden panic, waddling with his cloak up toward the door Talky Gnome pointed to, Doggie loyally following. He tries to duck behind a table, knocking it over in the process.
Took you guys long enough!" Shava yells as she charges forward, her arms slicing through the air, as if she still held her dagger. She suddenly stops short of the dancer, and channels her momentum through her arm into a burst at the dancer. Another loud roll of Thunder shakes the immediate area and she uses it to slide closer to the group. The sorcereress' arcane attack is foiled by the tenacity of the dancer. Apparently these dancers were made of sterner stuff.
Roswyn chuckles quietly as chaos erupts in the front room.
Probably not so bad as our first run-in with these kobold scum where they had a good defensive position, probably not so good as the second time where we got the drop on them. I guess I'll follow Tondrek's advice and try to clear out this back room... hopefully stampeding dancers will at least delay the guards coming in from the back entrance...
Scanning the back room, Roswyn selects a makeup table that isn't too close to any of the confused looking kobold dancers. She gestures, and a faintly shimmering hand appears next to the table and violently yanks open its drawer, emitting small puff of makeup powder. The gnome wizard gestures with her other hand, which holds her new magic orb. Flames erupt in a circle around the table.
"I made BOOM!", she giggles in a passable (though much higher-pitched) imitation of Tondrek, though her amuseing immitation is choked off as the flammable powder ignites. Apparently the drawer did contain a large amount of powder. The powder desk explodes, louder than Shava's thunder spell, and the club's booming music. A hole is ripped in the wall behind the desk, exposing the room's occupants to the gnome.
[sblock=Roswyn]You see several kobolds, coughing and rubbing their ears from the blast. A pair hold steel blades and blackscale shields. Another clutches a javelin. The final is the most interesting though. A purple robed kobold, bedecked in jewelry.[/sblock]
Two of the kobolds move into position behind the tables. They hurl javelins at Brenron, one clatters off the stage, but the second sinks into the dwarf's gut. After hurling their weapons, they flip over the tables gaining cover from incoming attacks. Another pair moves up next the the stage. The kobolds each flip over a table. The kobold doorman, nimbly climbs up the stage, and thrusts it's spear at Brenron's chest. The spear scrapes the dwarf's armor, but causes no harm.
[sblock=ooc]Miss and hit for 5 damage.

Shava sees a kobold wearing purple robes and an impressive amount of jewelry standing behind the table. It's voice, deep and loud booms out,
"Don't you be messin' wi' my girls. You'll pay!" Holding it clawed fingers together, an orb of acid materializes between it's palms. A thought sends it towards the half-elf. Lady d'Lyrandaar has no chance to dodge the arcane missle as it hits her squarely in the chest. Acid seeps beneath her armor, burning her chest. The spellcaster moves to the corner of the room, another kobold nearby, who is watching out for threats.
A heavily armored kobold wielding a blade and blackscale shield emerges to swing it's weapon at Tondrek. Following it is another spear wielding kobold who seems intent on skewering Shava. The first's blade strikes the half-orc, drawing blood along his arm, and gaining his attention. The spear pierces the pretty half-elf in the shoulder, nearly pinning her to the upturned table behind her.
A second
[sblock=ooc]W hits Shava for 9 acid damage.
