ooDM:I'll be gone from tommorow till saturday touring colleges for my brother (such a great way to use up my spring break) so you can post your actions, but I don't think I"ll have internet access.

And yes, I am using the nat 1, nat 20 -10/30 thing, because I don't like automatic hits and misses...but I don't like 1s and 20s not being special.

Now combat begins:
The four shadows fly at rover, trying to suck out some of his tasty life force. Two of them fly through Rover and he shivers as his strength is sucked away.
Jemal Runs up to the rapier wielding dog and reaches forth to suck his strength, but the dog dodges out of the way with ease.
Iq'il attacks Keitara with his short sword, but even with his expert strikes, the black full plate deflects them.
Squill'Mar slashes out with his bladed gauntlet and hits his brother with it.
The dwarf with two axes that look like they could barely be weilded by a human in two hands leaps the pit.
Rover, not about to be killed by this weakling necromancer stabs at Jemal with his rapier (16 damage).
The man who just appeared waves his hands and mumbles a few words and dissapears from sight.
Keitara attacks the dagger wielding rat that attacked her, and slashes him in the arm.
The great minitaur raises his giant great sword and tries to kill Iq'il. His sword Digs out a deep gash in Iq'ils stomach.

Next Round
 





magnus hides (Hide: +8) in the shadows, cause he doesn't know what to make of this. he readies an attack agaist the first one within reach

okay, combat for this round:
Jemal and his shadows continue to assault the humanoid german sheperd. One shadow and Jemal both make contact with Rover and he howls as the last of his strength is sucked away and he falls to the ground...dead.
Iq'il stabs his short sword at Squill'Mar, but Squill'Mar dodges aside.
Squill'Mar lashes out twice with his bladed gauntlet, slashing Iq'il's shoulder a bit, but it doesn't seem to do much compared to the chaos caused by Cloude.
Magnus tries to hide in the shadows (if anyone wants to see him, just tell me)
Rover just squirms on the ground as he goes through his death throes.
Mirrek is just being invisible.
Keitara slashes at Iq'il with her bastard sword, and Iq'il staggers at the blow, but he isn't completely dead.
Cloude attacks...two hits, one a crit, I'm not even gonna calculate damage, Iq'il dies.

So, What do you guys do now?
