James - Quarfein, male (half) Drow Bard (Leader)2. Damian - Morthos of Luskan, male Tiefling Warlock (Striker)3. Al - Tarek Grimm, male Human Swordmage (Defender)4. Catherine - Elixin, female Firesoul Genasi Wizard (Controller)Goblins:2 Warriors2 Skullcleavers1 HexerIt was an epic 2-hour battle; the PCs started strong, took down a goblin warrior, and the Warlock took a female Goblin Skullcleaver from unbloodied to dead with a single blast.  Things started to go bad when the Hexer brought up the Vexing Cloud and I realised it *both* put PCs at -2 to hit AND gave goblins concealment, a net -4.  The remaining Skullcleaver blocked the Swordmage and they duelled on the left, the Wizardess fought a ranged duel with the Hexer, getting the worst of it as he Blinded her.  On the right the Drow Bard & Warlock maneuvered in a running battle, battling the other goblin warrior, but then the Bard fell into a hidden pit and was assailed by starving dogs.The Hexer managed to blind both the Swordmage and the Wizardess, his Skullcleaver buddy then hacked them down.  The Warlock took down the last goblin warrior, and a bloodied drow emerged from the pit of dogs.  The Hexer was advancing to help his Cleaver buddy, the Warlock thought of fleeing, but instead he turned, blasted the Hexer and pushed him into the pit!  There, with only 2hp left, he was attacked by the last dog.  He could maintain his Vexing Haze but was otherwise busy fighting the dog, eventually killing it (the Swordmage expired and we let the player play the dog - but his rolls as dog were as terrible as when he was playing the swordmage).  It was down to just the Bard & Warlock vs the last Goblin Cleaver, but when they bloodied him he went berserk, hacked down the Bard, then chased the fleeing Warlock.  The Warlock made it to the foot of the ladder before a cleaver was planted in his back.  The last goblin standing then took the heads of his defeated foes in tribute to Maglubiyet.Survivors:One Goblin Skullcleaver, hp 12/28.The Goblin Hexer, hp 2/23, down pit.</blockquote>
