[sblock=ooc]I've been incredibly slow as a player too so it fits well with me. I've had a great time playing under you so I'd vote for you to stay on. However, I've been in the same position before and if you are feeling that it is a chore for you to make it on and that you are obligated to post rather than having fun with it then don't worry. As Gary says we all understand if you need to step away from DMing for awhile (I have this past year too)[/sblock]

Dang't sneaks up to the side of the doorframe, hoping Beryk's larger frame and the sound of combat would keep him hidden. But he trips on his way in, making it impossible not have been heard. Peaking his head around, he stabs at the air and sends a bolt of lightning at the serpentine construct, but it slithers out of the way at the last moment. The flash, however, dazzles him, making it impossible to see if the turrets have a control panel.

Beyrk moves a bit closer to the action laughing at the silly toys arrayed against them. "Come on guys we can do this! Pick yourself up Kauldron." His shout forces the cobra back and over the edge of the floor. Kauldron is brought back from the edge, moving behind Beyrk.

Quagmire's armor flares with a soft white glow as he reaches out and touches Kauldron's shoulder. A sickly green miasma seems to flow away from Kauldron and into Quagmire, causing the hobgoblin to shudder briefly. "Not bad, snake. When you're dead, I'll be sure to get a flask of that stuff to put in my drinks. Interesting flavor. Hey Hrav; you gonna let these overgrown pocketwatches do that to ya? You've chased a dragon off; pull yerself together and do what ye do best! Haaaaurgh!" He yells, brandishing his sword and charging recklessly forward, looking for a wounded target to finish off. He hits one of the clay scouts, which starts leaking a gooey fluid.

Hrav is cheered by Quag's reminiscing over good times, and is able to focus enough to use Mutt's presence as a distraction to the mechanical canine to hit it solidly. He can't seem to totally get back into the action, however.

“Attack again I must. Friends have need of Girth.”

The warlock looked and sounded shocked at the way the fight was going but needs must! Picking up the hem of his robe he skipped nimbly through the doorway and over towards the bed, almost disappearing into the shadows as he did so. Then with a casual wave of his hand he started to draw upon his Mistresses power.

“Strange beings these, my Lady but hopes this one that they will be to your satisfaction".

A bolt of eldritch light shot from his rod to strike one of the clay beasts which itself seemed to react strangely although still it took damage and dropped motionless to the ground.

Then with a deep breath Girth delved within himself once more and once more drew upon the darkness of his Mistress. A dark shadow shot out to envelop the iron dog, limning it in a dark nimbus and rendering it inert as it drops to the floor.

The remaining 3 clay figures fly forward to attack. Two of them try to bite at Hrav while he is unable to see them, but even with that advantage they are unable to sink their fangs into him. The third flings a mental bolt at Quagmire, hoping to daze the hobgoblin, but it fails to connect as well.

The iron cobra slithers back up the steps to the top floor and launches a bolt of mental venom at Quagmire, striking true and poisoning the hobgoblins mind with confusion.

The remaining turret reloads and fires its bolt at Quagmire, making it past his defenses but barely scratching him.

Your turn...

Peeking around the corner, Dang't takes stock of the room. Seeing Big Harv in trouble, the goblin gestures excidedly with his dagger, lighting crackling around it. But as he releases it, it bounces off a stray bit of Kauldron's armor at smashes harmlessly into the ceiling. He then looks quickly for the control panel again before ducking behind the doorframe to hide.[sblock=Actions]Pinning Bolt vs CS: Crit fail. Look for turret control panel: 14. Hide: 1d20+7=23.

Even Quagmire's hobgoblin constitution can't save him from the cobra's venom this time. Staggered and dizzy, he charges the cobra, but his legs won't move quite right, and he stumbles to a halt just out of range. He settles for a swipe at the other crossbow turret, splintering wood and metal with a crunching sound. The impact seems to settle him; his eyes clear and his color darkens to a healthy brownish green.

[sblock=actions]Immediate: hobgoblin resilience to make an immediate save vs. dazed and slowed, fails.
start of turn: 5 poison damage
Standard: charge the other crossbow turret, provoking from one of they clay scouts. 24 vs AC for 11 damage on the charge.

end of turn: saves against the poison and against dazed and slowed: both succeed.

"Is time for finish snake thing, yes?" yelped Girth as he fired off another power at the Iron Cobra. This time he tried to ensure that it stayed where it was and mentally crossed his fingers that his concealment would help protect him from the adjacent clay scout thing.

[sblock=OOC]Dire Radiance at Iron Cobra 24 vs Fort; 6 damage. If Cobra moves towards Girth on its turn it takes another 11 damage!
Probably OA on Girth from C1 but I'll leave that to PH.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC2]I'm off to Scotland for a funeral and then a couple of days holiday. Internet access is likely to be nearly non-existant so can you please NPC me as necesary.
Back by Friday[/sblock]

OOC: Hey Beyrk mind editing your post to move into square AA34 instead of shifting into square Z34. That way I can move in and attack with Valorous Strike and mark every creature cause I'm still slowed. If not no worries. I'll come up with something else.

Yeah there we be. Feeling much better now. Still a little stiff though.

*Kauldron moved up and with a quick prayer light gathered upon his blade as he slams it down hard upon the clumsy clay scout. As the blade connects a massive pulse of divine energy flashes outwards driving the automatons to attack Kauldron.*

That's it. I'm still around. Need more then what happened in round one to finish this old bucket of bolts off.

Move: Move to Z34
Standard: Valorous Smite vs. C2
-Attack: +8 vs. AC (22; Hit)
-Damage: 12
