[sblock=Rulings]
I figured since I can't make a good post, I would scan for any questionable rulings, and let you guys check my work before I post.
Ryry, I think F0 is not a legal pull, given your position. It seems F0 would be kind of a push. But, I'm not sure. On the one hand, it's still toward you laterally, but on the other hand it's away from you vertically.
Mervin's been a fair judge so far, maybe he can decide.

[sblock=pulling]It's a legal pull if it causes the distance between me and the target to go down.
I think you're right, it wouldn't work from I3. Since I couldn't go to I3 anyway, why not put me at H3. Then I believe it should be legal. The distance drops from 4 to 3, correct? (I'm not actually looking at the map here.)[/sblock]

The blade trap swung again, and this time one of the blade came down in Wil's row. Hearing the sound, the Bard spun in place, the blade nearly cleaving into his head, missing only by inches.
The underboss stood up and backed away from the action, barking orders. "You two, ssstick the big one in the pit! The ressst of you ssstay where are!"
Both slingers moved to the edge of the pit and fired heavy glue shot at kane, But both missed high, plastering the sticky substance on the wall above Kane's head. Each retreated from the edge after their attack, pitiful looks on their lizard faces.
"Can you do nothing right!?" the leader demanded. The slyblade moved in the background, positioning itself; but this movement irritated the underboss. "I told you not to move!" it said, "Or you!" It was not clear which kobold the last comment was directed at.
[sblock=Skill Checks][sblock=Minor Action: Guessing the targets]Once you know what trap it is, you can make a dungeoneering check (minor action) of 22 to identify which rows will attack next.
[/sblock][sblock=Standard Action: Disable Trap Skill Challenge]If you move to I11, you can initiate a skill challenge to turn off the trap. Thievery DC 22, 4 successes before 2 failures. Success disables the trap. Failure causes 1D4 extra blades to attack each round.
If you do this, just do 6 rolls of your theivery skill and post the results in order.[/sblock][/sblock][sblock=Mechanics]

[sblock=How I determined the trap attack]

1: 4G to 4I
2: 5G to 5I
3: 6G to 6I
4: 7G to 7I
5: 8G to 8I

[sblock=ooc]Well, shall we try Plan A again? Hergunna, wanna chill wind the northern guy and the boss and move them into a nice blast area with the southern slinger (maybe just move the northern slinger south 1)? If you do, I'll throw down my daily. (Or do you think it might be better to unload your encounter that does -4 to defenses? Or something else?)
Either way, I think those slingers should be our group's priority at the moment as they can pummel us at range. Otherwise we're actually not in a bad location to defend ourselves (except Will obviously). Hooray for the trap being an off-tank![/sblock]

[sblock=DM]Also, I'm just going to go ahead and ask: Mervin is thinking about moving to I2 and mage handing the staff from the treasure pile into his hand before attacking. I think this should work according to the power description. First: do you think the same, and if so, what is the staff so I can use its stats?[/sblock]
