OOC- OK, gotcha. I am having trouble with the map, it is very tough to read. The lettering is not large and does not show well against the background. Could we do white or yellow lettering next time? It also helped me when I put the effect of the mist on the map, makes it easier to envision.
The move you suggested sounds fine, make a double move to L8, leaving Harlan and Jackson to cover the northern door. Hopefully Alanna can take care of her opponent, and I want to get into combat.
Edit: I changed my first post to reflect the move.

Map issues
OOC: Are we all looking at the same map, here? I'm looking at
THIS MAP
It is the same one I posted in the last combat round description.
The area of effect of the Obscuring Mist spell seems pretty clear on this map. I will try to use lighter colors for your letters. If the map is too small it's probably because your browser is making it that way so that it can display it all on one page. The image itself it actually quite large.
If you're using Internet Explorer, mouse-over the lower-right hand corner of the image. An icon will appear that will let you see the image at its full size. Alternately, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options/Advanced/Multimedia and un-select "Automatically resize images".
If you're using a different browser let me know and I'll try to help you.

Thanks, Blue. I hadn't noticed you had updated the "End of round 3" post with the map, and I forgot I had resized the image to make a smaller file on the previous map. My fault, your map is fine. I was going off the older map when planning my actions. Instead of running towards the western wall, Alain will move to F14, hoping to help Alanna finish off the Khadoran (K4). I changed my first post once again to reflect this.
I would recommend doing a border in black with the reference points within, so they can be more easily read. As it is E, F, I, J, and T all look like I's. Avoid red for any lettering, it looks distorted against the stone background. White or the light green you used for the party works well. This map will work fine, but just some tips for the next one
. I hope I don't sound like I'm whining...

Combat Round 4
Harlan keeps his eyes and his gun trained on the northern, curtained entrance.
The Iosan woman Edrea, pistol in one hand and dagger in the other darts off into the mist, quietly passing by Martasha and Alaois. As she passes out of sight, Alaois hears her say, “The fog is appreciated, warlock, they’ll never see me coming,” and with a swirling of mist she is gone.
Jackson continues watching the mist for signs of any intruders.
Alaois slips through his fog and the curtain and keeping his hand on the Bet’n’Bar wall, makes his way along it. When he comes to the end of the fog, he finds that he is at the corner of the structure. Looking around, he notices that Cormyck seems to be in mortal combat with a tall Khadoran hefting a battleaxe. Looking north, he peeks around the corner and sees two other Khadorans, about 50 feet away. Thanks to his military training, he recognizes that they seem to be setting the timers on grenades. Having scouted around, he steps back into the mist, and vanishes from sight.
Alain storms through the obscuring mist, emerging next to a Khadoran with a dazed, far-away expression on his face, who is holding a heavy Khadoran shortbow.
Cormyck steps to his side as he holsters his pistol in the blink of an eye with one hand and draws his collapsing baton with the other. As it snaps into place, he lunges at his opponent, connecting with the side of his head, and making a dull “thunk” sound. The Khadoran eyes grow large and he stumbles momentarily from the force of the blow. Nevertheless, he brings up his axe from below, attempting to disembowel Cormyck. Luckily, his vision is still off from the force of the previous blow and the rogue easily deflects it with his baton.
Martasha does not move, and holds her position.
Alanna sights her opponent through a gap in the fence and sees that the Paladin has appeared through the mist behind him. Thanks to her training she is used to firing into a melee combat, but this certainly does not make it any easier. She squeezes the trigger of her magelock and with a satisfying “BOOM!” the left side of the Khadoran’s greatcoat explodes in a shower of red. His expression turns from dull indifference to a rictus of pain.

Alain finally bursts out of the mist to find himself standing directly behind one of the assailants. He barely stops in time to avoid running into the Khadoran, who stares dully off into space. Raising his pistol, he sees Alanna with magelock pistol raised over the Khadoran's shoulder. Her pistol goes off, belching a cloud of smoke into the room. The bowman twists to the side, the bullet tearing into his skin. A fine mist of blood sprays onto the floor at Alain's feet.
I really should be more careful, Alain thinks, preparing to fire. Good thing Alanna knows her way around a pistol.
OOC: I will fire my pistol at the Khadoran for a standard action. If the opponent falls, I will use my move action to get as close to Cormyck's combat as possible. I should be able to reach F8, I think.
If he does not go down, Alain prepares his sword for combat, dropping the pistol to the floor.

OOC: Bobitron, just a little heads up. Firing a pistol provokes an attack of opportunity, just like any other ranged weapon. Although Khadoran (K4) currently is holding a bow, and therefore does not threaten the squares around him, he will act first next round and might draw a melee weapon then. If he does, he will threaten and you will provoke an AoO.Bobitron said:
If you did not realize this, and since this is our first combat, I would be willing to let you change your previous post, to reflect that you did not move to the neighboring square, but instead are 10' or more away.

Alanna Morwyn
The figure of Alain bolted out of the mist, sending tenrils of the greasy smoke spinning in every direction. Shifting her aim lower to minimize the chance of hitting the paladin, Alanna gently squeezes the trigger.
BOOM!
Center mass
The bullet impacts the Khadorean in the side spraying the floor and wall with a crimson mist. Not a killing wound, but still severe.
Alanna ducks behind the pen wall shifting the magelock to her left hand and pulls a reload from its compartment on her holster. After reloading she pulls the Clockwerk Arms Pepperbox from its holster with her right hand.
I don't want to have to reload again.
