[sblock=OOC]Sorry for the confusion, but Skalisss can't go yet, he scored less than the badguys on initiative so he has to wait. But once the bad guys have been once, then you can all post in any order.
So if Andrec is delaying, we're waiting for Growl.[/sblock]

Growl shifts to his bear form, then moves forward and roars at his foes, leaving them unsettled in his presence.

[sblock=Mechanics]Minor action - Shift to bear form.

Move action - Move to I5.

Standard action - Swarming Locusts, blast 3 targeting squares FGH/456.

Swarming Locusts Kyvan and Dire Rat 24 (1d20+5=19, 1d20+5=20, 1d8+5=6)

Hits Reflex 19 for 6 damage against Kyvan, and hits Reflex 20 for 6 damage against Dire Rat 24. I'll let Fragsie roll if anyone else turns out to be in the blast.

The blast creates a zone of swarming locusts that lasts until the end of your next turn. While within the zone, enemies grant combat advantage.[/sblock]

//You can leave the talking, just move your actions down to a new post once the Badguys have been.
Tomalak, are you delaying until after the badguys turn?//

I don't know why Andrec was placed in back, but yes I am delaying until after the bad guys. In the future though, I'd like to start up with the front line, please.
 

//Andrec has the second highest hp and defences, i thought you said that the 2nd should go in back, I'll rectify that for you, sorry.
I'll post in about an hour from now.//
 

When Growl spews a torrent of locusts at Kyvan, he lets out a frustrated roar "ATTACK!" he cries and charges straight for the warforged bear.
Even as Mikara's shadow powers tear at his skin and painful ice crystals form all over the human's exposed skin, he slams into Growl,
"You're Mine!" his greatsword swings in an immensely powerful upward swing that throws the druid-beast clean into the air only to come crashing back down ten feet from Kyvan.
No sooner than he hits the floor, Growl is set upon by not one, but two dire rats, while one doesn't manage to bite through the strange mixture of metal plating and bear flesh, then second sinks it's rotted yellow teeth into Growl's forepaw.

At the same time the outline of an archer casts a long shadow across the street as he stands up from his hiding place on the roof of a nearby house, his steady aim and strong arm punches and arrow through Andrec's armour into the warlord's shoulder.

Another archer steps out from an alleyway behind the adventurers, this one's arrow finds purchase in Skalisss' scaly back.

Yet more dire rats scurry out of the alley and dive into the midst of the group, the first runs straight past Brother Shane, and receives a solid strike from the cleric's mace before it starts clawing at the dragonborn's plate armour. It's partner has second thoughts about running past the mace wielding priest and instead snaps at his robes ankles, managing to draw blood.

Brother Shane jumps back from the combat and whispers a quick prayer to Apoli and a glowing mark of the sun begins to hover above one of the dire rats, making it's movements slow and sluggish.

Skalisss draws his sunblade and attacks the nearest rat.

"With Netari asss witnesss we will reclaim the prowress your massster ssstole, fool" he tells Kyvan.

"Form up here my friendsss, we need to find sssome cover."

[SBLOCK=Actions]
Minor Action: Draw sunblade, it sheds dim light to 10 squares as willed by Skalisss
Move Action: Divine Challenge on Dire Rat 48
Standard Action: Righteous Smite on Dire Rat 48 (1d20+10=29, 2d8+6=22)
Hits AC29 for 22 damage, this rat was -2 to all defenses. Is Skalisss the first to hit him and gain the 4 hit points granted by Shanes power?
Skalisss and all allies within 5 squares (that is everyone) gain 7 temp hit points!

Hah! Got me there I guess. I hadn't done the math. Andrec should never not be next to high-damage melee character, though. His reduced speed encourages him to move at the front, despite the math. Sorry for the confusion, my fault.[/sblock]

[sblock=Actions]Move to M9 (by way of L8).
Brash Assault Dire Rat 48 (7 damage vs. AC 21), Rat returns the attack 7 damage vs. AC 6), miss! Skalisss' attack (12 damage vs. AC 19)[/sblock]
