[sblock=John]Sorry I didn't realize this earlier, by N17 doesn't make any sense for your move, because that puts you behind the wall/door, with no LOS, so I moved you to N21 which has line of sight, and incidentally is a shift.

"Get them!" Strongheart ordered. Kane charged Kruk, slicing through the Dwarf's defenses. Kruk, ignoring this, charged Carolina, leaving a deep gash in her.
While strongheart laughed, Alaria bent space, causing Kane and Carolina to swap places. The barbarian was barely alive after the relentless temporal attacks; his face and chest were covered with his own blood.
Alaria moved south towards the wall, while Strongheart stepped back. Firing bolts at Kruk and Carolina, he was only partially successful: The attack on his temporary ward missed, but the one against Carolina hit, painfully pulling her even closer to the mage.
"You've been hiding for too long, little one. Now, Tell your friends I will spare your life if they flea. Or else, I'll make you my next puppet."
As he said this, he pulled the two crossbow bolts from his chest. Winching, he added,
"even your best isn't good enough."

So, roll a save now. If you make the save, this turn is yours. If not, you're still dominated for this turn.
[sblock=Dominated Rules from Compendium]
While a creature is dominated, it can’t take actions. Instead, the dominator chooses a single action for the creature to take on the creature’s turn: a standard, a move, a minor, or a free action. The only powers and other game features that the dominator can make the creature use are ones that can be used at will, such as at-will powers. The creature also grants combat advantage and can’t flank.
[/sblock]Kruk and Kane are dominated. If you have any powers/abilities which let you take a save before the end of your turn (or if anyone has an interrupt to stop the attack, or a power to let you save before the end of your turn), do those now to override the dominated power. Otherwise, the only thing you can do for your current turn is roll to save (which affects next round).
After the other players take their turns, I will post the dominated character actions and the next enemy actions.

[/sblock][sblock=Terrain Notes]
1. Difficult Terrain:
Snow Drifts: M9:O10 and M26:N28 and O27:O28
Snow-covered Rocks: R15, W21, X21:X22, H14
Treeline
2. The wall and gate are made of wood, 12' tall.
If standing on the wall, there is no cover bonus granted.
If prone atop the wall, the target has superior cover (-5) vs opponents on the ground.
3. The cliffs on the east and west side of the map are too steep to climb, so basically impassible, creating a bottleneck in the road.

Charina: Use the group to collect more bounties (ears)
Everyone Else: Locating the missing Silver shipment for Lord Byron
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. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.
9. After a long battle, they slew all of the demons who had come through the hell gate, and they found
Sir Alistair Glasston's lost battleaxe. But Greggor was still missing, and there is the question of why the demons were digging.
10. Hergunna departed the group to alert the local militia, while the others pressed ahead North, trying to find the source of the demon-aligned miners, as well as the lost silver.
11. They came upon a wall blocking the road to the mine. Mounted knight
Brother Arleas leads a band of outlaws and zombies to defend the mine entrance. After slaying the Knight and half his men, the remaining wizards and archers closed the gate.
