"No... No!" The forman yelled as the opening attacks drew blood on the man. As if deluded by his injuries, the near-dead man stumbled toward the adventurers, stopping in the middle of the room, surrounded by enemies.
"You cannot beat us!" he shouted, sending a psychic blast radiating out which hit Wil, Carolina, and Kane.
"Bastard! Get in here!" he called toward the new tunnel.
The Ambusher got to his feet and attacked Kruk, but the dwarf easily deflected the blow.
The two digger zombies repositioned themselves around kane, using their shovels to kick up dirt at the barbarian. Kane easily turned away from the first cheap shot, but unfortunately, he turned into the second one. Debris from the floor blinded Kane, and he felt it bite at his face.
More enemies approached from the west tunnel, lead by a screaming human. The Berserker's hair and bread were long and unkempt; he carried himself like he was drunk. With an angry war cry, he lunged at Kane with his great axe, and the followed up with a second great blow. The attacks were vicious, cutting a huge gash in the bugbear's shoulder, pouring buckets of blood.
"Aaarrrrrhhhhhh! Death to intruders!!!"
The other miners and guards remained in the newly carved tunnel, approaching with caution.

Motives

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship
Wind's Will captained by
Captain Levenbrech, and mated by
Porse and
Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (
link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest,
Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about
Hellview (
background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says
Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "
will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of
Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers.
[/sblock][sblock=John]Does Fox's Cunning trigger before or after the enemies's attack is resolved?
Also, for your interrupts, can you include in your action block a section for when you want me to use them? Since they are encounter/daily, I don't want to assume when you would choose to use them, but at the same time retconning makes things tricky as well. Something like:
Fox's Cunning Trigger: the first enemy that attacks me with melee
VS
Fox's Cunning Trigger: the first enemy that attacks me while bloodied
Something like that, I think would be the fairest way to do it PBP. The other sensible option would be they always trigger when first able to trigger no matter what, but then I'd need to remember how they work, which if I'm being honest, I think I would forget.
[/sblock][sblock=Jinx Shot]Question... so he used a burst power. Some hit, some missed. I'm not sure if Jinx triggers or not. He missed some of the attack rolls, but technically the power hit (partially). [/sblock]
