"Kobolds are coming! Kobolds are coming! Gemble repeats over and over as he finally drops from the branches to the woodland floor. He then starts running in a large circle as if he's trying to run over to the rest of the group to tell them
"Kobolds are coming! Kobolds are coming! but can't get all the way over there and loops back around to run away... but can't quite run away either and runs back toward the rest of you muttering
"Kobolds are coming! Kobolds are coming!"
You've seen Gemble scared (quite often, in fact) but never quite so panic stricken as he currently is. Genbke doesn't seem to respond at all to He'Rak's question, unless you count his repeated
"Kobolds are coming! Kobolds are coming!"
"Despite our distrust, we would have left peacefully. Your insistance on hostility has led to further unnecessary bloodshed." Sel'Tarien says as Erlik, rage and adrenaline pumping through is veins charges the kobold captain and skewers him upon his halberd. The captain barely makes a "yelp" as the bladed head of the weapon punctures his back and explodes through his chest. It's body hangs limply from the end of the weapon, obviously very, very dead.
Liam
[sblock]You hear a snap from behind you as if someone stomped on a twig but some 80 or 100 feet away. You turn to look but don't see anything through the treeline and shrubs but you listen carefully and you can distinctly make out several more such snaps and crunches coming from the east (right side of the map... the direction of the kobold camp and the direction Skeether was running when Skatha said he was going for reinforcements. By your best judgement, the sounds are no closer than 75 feet away. ((Rolled a natural 20 on the listen check... thought you might want to know that.
XP: 500 from previous battles with kobolds and defending Tev'El Rhoe
250 for the kobold battle
400 for your excellent roleplaying of liam and frequent posting (I'm giving an XP bonus of 0% to 3% of the needed xp to level (In this case, 0-3% of 1,000) per post based on RP content... and you got the most! I'm really getting a feel for who Liam is and what he believes.) As well, a little bonus for using color in speech... I like that for some reason, it gives flair to a character, showing something about them, imho.
100 bonus xp for a clean, easy to read character sheet with a well thought out and entertaining history)

Sonrik
[sblock]You catch something out of the corner of your eye. You turn to look... you don't see anything... or do you? Something is moving in the distance, more than 50 feet away, maybe 100 but you just can't quite tell what it is. What ever it is, it is in the direction that Skeether ran off, the direction of the kobold camp.

400 for excellent RP! I really believe Sonrik is a paladin and you're RPing his alignment well. You've had very impacting posts and Sonrik has become a hero in my mind, a hero that I want to cheer for and, if I were a character in the game, a hero that I would want to follow. (I'm giving an XP bonus of 0% to 3% of the needed xp to level (In this case, 0-3% of 1,000) per post based on RP content and many of your posts earned the 3% max)
50 XP bonus for a clean character sheet and strong history.

400 for consistant and excellent RP. I appreciate your efforts to get dialogue going between characters ("Did you see that grab Gemble got on that girl?" "Nice weapon, Sonrik..." etc) Thank you. (I'm giving an XP bonus of 0% to 3% of the needed xp to level (In this case, 0-3% of 1,000) per post based on RP content and you were a posting machine.)

Erlik
[sblock]XP: 500 from previous battles with kobolds and defending Tev'El Rhoe
250 for the kobold battle
400 for great roleplay with outstanding flair. I love the "sayings" from his tribe and how he is constantly thinking about and comparing things to the way things were back home. It gives Erlik depth. As well, when Erlik picked up the lieutenant's body and showed it to the kobolds... man, I was like "YEAH!" cheering for a touchdown my team scored in the superbowl. Fantastic intimidation attempt. That lieutenant was a powerful critter and the kobolds knew it. (I'm giving an XP bonus of 0% to 3% of the needed xp to level (In this case, 0-3% of 1,000) per post based on RP content)
On your character sheet, I take it that the italisized skills are your free permanent class skills gained from character creation? You have a space labled "background skills" but nothing listed after it.

Korbin
[sblock]XP: 500 from previous battles with kobolds and defending Tev'El Rhoe
250 for the kobold battle
300 for excellent RP. His willingness to do things he doesn't necessarily want to do, but does them because they are the right thing to do shows through. As well, I appreciate and just like for some reason, colors used for character speech. it just gives a sense of who the character is. (I'm giving an XP bonus of 0% to 3% of the needed xp to level (In this case, 0-3% of 1,000) per post based on RP content. You may be at a disadvantage because your posting habits are not a frequent as hafrogman or Tor L'Tha but you can earn the larger bonus by consistantly RPing your alignment, delving into your character's thoughts and so on, which you are doing a good job of.)

[sblock]XP: 500 from previous battles with kobolds and defending Tev'El Rhoe

380 for your excellent roleplay. Sel'Tarien has motivation that the others dont. He has also made some fantastic statements in character as well as played up to his alignment (Like that last post of yours where he told the captain, basically, that they all died because of his own actions. I can see a lawful character doing that. Its almost like they are "teaching" the error of peoples' ways. (I'm giving an XP bonus of 0% to 3% of the needed xp to level (In this case, 0-3% of 1,000) per post based on RP content.) I also like his bold speech. Gives me the sense that when he talks, he does so in a clear, strong voice, as if he is used to people paying attention to him and, more so, that what he has to say is important and thus, they should pay attention to him.
70 bonus xp for a very clean, easy to read character sheet and good history, including special motivation to avenge the deaths of Tandra'var and Kendian as well as the destruction of the great city, Thel'Lorean. thank you.

Ala
[sblock]XP: 500 from previous battles with kobolds and defending Tev'El Rhoe
250 for the kobold battle
400 xp for excellent roleplay. Ala is really a girl who will make a stand in what she believes even if it means she'll risk her life, her friends, anything. She's not afraid to take chances and throw the proverbial "monkey in the wrench". She has the potential to completely derail a situation, for good or ill. I have to admit, I was a bit surprized when she lost her cool and looked like a crazed wildwoman

(I'm giving an XP bonus of 0% to 3% of the needed xp to level (In this case, 0-3% of 1,000) per post based on RP content and you earned a heck of a lot of xp this way with the 3% bonuses through your often lengthy and insightful (into Ala's thoughts and beliefs) posts.)
Good personality and description... would love to see a history though... email me at
rahjr2k@hotmail.com if you want to get some info on Thel'Luthia and possible stuff that could work into her history.
