Rogue rolled a 20 on his Stealth check, so he was really, really sneaky.He motioned for the party to move forward, then attacked, using his surprise round to critically (yes, another 20) injure one of the guards. The PCs rolled well on init, so the dwarf fighter acted next. He moved into the room, Jumped up on the table (I had him make a skill check, which he made easily), then used an Action Point for another standard action to attack the wounded goblin... which he hit for close to max damage, dropping it.It was just such a sweet visual: the rogue fading out of the shadows, planting a dagger in a goblin -- its mouth opens to scream, but before it can, the dwarf comes barreling into the room, axe held horizontally as he leaps onto the table, using his momentum to bring the axe around -- decapitating the goblin before its vocal cords can complete the scream!= = =Later, the party was in the goblin excavation room. They were bottled up near the entrance by the guard drakes while the goblin archers were sniping. The rogue surveyed the map, then said, "Positioning strike on this guard drake" -- moving it 3 squares so that it fell off the ledge -- the falling damage killed it! (It was already pretty beaten up.)In that same fight, the rogue used Jump + Acrobatics to leap down upon a goblin archer that had descended a ladder. He didn't quite kill it, but the fighter did when he arrived.The rogue and the fighter made a great team in these encounters.</blockquote>
