The living Slyblade and Minion saw their brethren die, and feared they could be next. "You go that way, and I'll go this way," the Slyblade ordered, taking command to retreat from the bugbear. The two ran on either side of the stone wall, running into the rest of the adventurers. Faced with the prospect of returning to fight the barbarian or fighting their way through some humans, they picked the latter.
The minion moved first, rounding the corner, rushing their position, and attacking with its javelin. The attack was easily deflected by the wizard. However, while distracted, the sly blade moved up behind Mervin, attacking with both blades. Each blow landed, cutting him deeply, and the attacks were so deep they threatened to worsen with time (ongoing damage).
The two Kobold Dragonshields that remained sized up Kane cautiously. The one to the south carried a large Waraxe that Kane spied greedily. Each in turn, the two dragonshields attacked Kane, but the barbarian deflected their attacks with little effort, forcing the creatures to retreat.
The dragon flaps its huge wings, lifting itself forward in an unnecessary display of grandeur. The wind from its wing beats whipped past Kane, almost knocking him over. Even the others, behind the wall, felt a draft.
"You dare taunt a god?"
The dragon reached forward with both claws. The barbarian blocked one attack, but the other landed, carving a deep gouge in the bugbear's leg.
[sblock=Ice Hazard]
OKay... so since the OA once per turn seems to make this thing no longer impossible, going back to the original trap. I'd say the fire spell would melt the ice in that area +1, but with my DM insight, I would save the encounter power for the battle ahead.
Treacherous Ice Sheet Level 5 Obstacle
A slick sheet of ice creates a hazardous obstacle.
Hazard: This sheet of ice fills 10 contiguous squares, turning them into difficult terrain.
Perception
No check is necessary to notice the ice.
Additional Skill: Nature DC 22: The character identifies the squares of treacherous ice.
Trigger
The ice attacks when a creature enters or begins its turn in a square of treacherous ice. It also attacks when a creature stands up from prone in a square of treacherous ice.
Attack
Opportunity Action Melee
Target: Creature on the ice
Attack: +8 vs. Reflex
Hit: 1d6+2 damage and fall prone. If the creature is already prone, no damage but its turn ends immediately.
Countermeasures
With a DC 27 Acrobatic check and a move action, a character can move into a square of treacherous ice without risk of falling. If the check fails or the character move more than 1 square, the ice attacks.

Mervin, Hergunna, give me some cover I need to get to Kane.
[sblock=OOC] Can one of you guys go first? I could drop my only close blast here, Shout of Triumph, but it might be better to push a kobold dragonshield on to the threatening ice. I can also Majestic Word Mervin after his turn to be more effective.

[sblock=ooc]Yeah I'm happy to go first, guys - assuming that everyone is standing where they seem to be (except Hergunna) I will shift 1 and then winged horde the 2 enemies. That should kill the minion and let Wil run past the other guy unfettered.
I'm going to assume the skyblade would take Hergunna's OA to get to me due to it loving CA; I'll wait to see what Tenchuu says before posting, tho. Also, since the temp HP happened last turn, I'm assuming Mervin has 19 HP and 0 temps, instead of 15 HP and 4 temps? (It doesn't really matter that much.)
Lastly, all the wiki is borked right now, so that will make things tricky. I have Mervin saved to CB so I can keep going easily; does anyone have a big problem with continuing?[/sblock]

I'm fine with continuing as well, but that's up to Tenchuu. I have Kane backed up, but not his treasure/xp logs. I'm more worried about Murphy though as he's level 6 there's a ton of linking to be done. Lets all cross our fingers that we can get it back [/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]As far as the slyblade goes, Tenchuu had it moving through the spot where Hergunna was, so he kind of has to change something. So I'm thinking to wait until he posts what he wants to do before continuing.
And yeah, it's a pain with the wiki down. I have my characters in CB but only at home so I may not realistically be able to post from work.[/sblock]
