[sblock=OOC]
I don't know why but it seems that lately I am having a hard time updating more than once a week. This is NOT something I like, and hopefully as my workload gets back down closer to normal I will be able to update at lease a couple of times a week if not more.
Secondly, I lost the Maptools that contained the campaign. Well I didn't phisically loose it, but it somehow became corrupted and I was unable to open it. I have been fighting with it since Friday and finally decided to just forget it and make a new map. That is part of the reason it took so long for this update. Also, please excuse the shoddy map - I threw it together last night to just get something for an update.
Anyway, here is the update for Round 9, and let me say, wow this is a tight battle.

Round 9
Feeling his instinct of survival coming back to him, he is enraged by all the pain he gets.
"You'll go down first! And you'll meet Lauto!" replies Gloom who follow up H'raken and pierce him with his sword. He feels the warm blood of his enemy flowing from the wound to his pommel.
"Thorn, time to finish him!"
Gellan turns, his eyes flaring in the darkness, and spots the robe-wearing goblin.
"Hah, someone more my own size!" he snarls, and moves to intercept this new foe. His first swing is blocked by the goblin's staff, though, and Gellan lets out a howl of fury.
Zharne noticed Gellan's new prey and rushes to join him to overwhelm the goblin
Thorn dances behind H'raken, hoping to grab his attention. Unfortunatley, the inky cloud causes his spear-tip to miss, with only a weak spear-butt making contact.
Minharath quietly goes about his healing business…
As Gellans blade misses the robed Goblin it quickly steps back into the path of the oncoming Zharne. As the elf-tuned-wolf snaps its jaws down missing the goblin it takes another step backward. He moves further away, up towards where the stairs leading out are. He points his staff at Zharne and chants some arcane verse. Zharne feels a slight tingle in his legs, a sensation he has the feeling that could get much worse if he tries to move.
H’raken steps to the side and jabs his longsword into Thorn. This gives Karl the opportunity to step up and slam his axe into Gloom.
Karl then follows up with another devastating chop, dropping Gloom to the floor once more, and he steps up toward Thorn with a victorious grin upon his face.
M’Orin appears around the corner by the robed Goblin and holds his bow at the ready.
[sblock=Mechanics]
GLOOM -
Start: Regenerate 2 hp Now at 6/38
Move: Shift to J24
Minor: Ardent Vow on H'raken (3rd use today, 1 left)
Standard: Holy Strike vs AC On H'Raken (1d20+9=25, 1d8+20=28) Forgot -2 from concealment and -2 from Hexing Cloud. Still hit for 28 damage! H'raken is under my divine sanction UEoNT
GELLAN -
Minor: Sheath off-hand weapon
Move: Walk to O-16 (straight west to M-16, then N-16, then O-16)

Pressing Strike.
Miss with a 14. I have been rolling lousy this encounter. Status note: Gellan used Swift Panther Rage earlier and is still under its effects
ZHARNE - Move Action:shift to M24
Standard Action:Charge Shar-Doo(move to N18,
Misses)
Minor Action:N/A
THORN -
Move: walk to J22, gaining Combat Advantage on H'raken by flanking him with Gloom.
As stated in the posts above, this walk could trigger an Opportunity attack from H'raken, but he'll trigger a Divine Sanction - and being so low on HPs it would seem silly to do so, since he's nearly impossible to hit in the Vexing Cloud (AC24).
Standard:
Reaping Strike on H'raken. Added bonus for CA, and penalties for concealment and Vexing Cloud.
1d20+5 (vs. AC)=19 Just misses H'raken's AC of 20, causing 4 damage (bringing H'raken from 10 to 6 hps).
MINHARATH - Minor: Healing Word on Gloom for surge +
2d6+8=18
Move: Shift to K19
Standard: Astral Seal on Shar-Doo, (Reflex 15)
1d20+7=12 ow.

Standard – Stinging Hex vs Zharne; 18 vs Will, hitting for 0 damage. IF Zharne moves during his turn he will take 3d6+1 damage (player can roll if he chooses to move). Save ends.
H’raken – Shift to I23, Triggering slash recharges, Triggering slash against Thorn, 19 vs AC, hitting for 9 damage & triggers Karl to shift & make a basic melee attack against Gloom.
Karl – Free – shift to K25 & basic melee attack against Gloom, 29 vs AC (including flank), hitting for 13 damage & dropping gloom to -7 hit points. Standad – use Evasive Chop; shift to K24, attack vs Gloom, 26 vs AC, hitting for 12 damage & drops Gloom to -1 hit points, & shift to K23.
