First Post
The room has emptied out somewhat, but there are still a couple hobgoblins on duty. One of them doesn't even look up at you as he says, "Shadow seeks sha-"
"You fools, do you think a follower of Palladys serves the Shadow?" A large hobgoblin wearing bladed armor and carrying a wickedly barbed spear enters from the eastern passage. He levels his spear at the group and howls, "Kill them!"
Not content to lead by words alone, he charges into Brenwar and skewers the paladin. It is not particularly damaging, but it is debilitatingly painful.
The other hobgoblins are quick to follow their leader's example. In an instant they are ready for battle, and more enter the room. They all rush the group, except for one who opens the door to the cage. Firete and Brenwar are wounded, but it could have been worse.
The group must now contest with a trained phalanx of goblinoid warriors.

Yishim (21/22)

Firete (22/28)
Brenwar (19/35)
They go first.
The Warchief moves into the room and charges Brenwar. Tell me, does a 30 hit your AC? Brenwar takes 6-1=5 damage. In addition, the Warchief has an ability called Lead from the Front. Whenever he hits with a melee attack, all of his allies gain +2 to attack and damage rolls against his target for a turn.
Grunt 16 opens the western door and enters the room. Sadly, he doesn't have enough move left to make an attack.
Grunt 49 charges Brenwar, and misses for a ton of damage.
The Bombardier Beetle is trapped in a cage.
Conscript 33 moves into the room and charges Firete, hitting AC 24 for 6 damage.
Conscript 38 moves to the beetle's cage and opens the door.
Conscript 42 charges Miranna, and misses.
Conscript 85 charges Brenwar, hitting AC 27 for 5 damage.[/sblock]

Yishim, as planned, attempts to put the phalanx of creatures to sleep. Unexpectedly, they only become somewhat lethargic. Not good. Not good at all.

Firete quickly draws her sword and s;ashes at the hobgoblin next to her, yet despite her success she is a little worried.
WE may want to consider a retreat, she whispers, just in case.

Brenwar grimaces as the blows land. "You're right friend I serve serve no shadows." Brenwar unleashes a fury of blows on the armored figure. As he does so a halo of holy light forms around Brenwar's head. "Firete we shall keep that in mind but for now we fight."
[sblock=Plans]
Go ahead and use those action points fellows. Yishim can you clear some minions here I expect they are going to start hurting in a moment. Everyone else how about we start blasting the big spear wielding maniac?

Miranna stepped forward to stand beside Brenwar, and a dancing arc of lightning formed along the edge of her sword as she swung at one of the hobgoblins. She could see _something_ in that cage up ahead, but there was no time to worry about it now, with so many foes close at hand. Her blade cut the hobgoblin only lightly, but as it hit the lightning arced wildly across the battlefield, touching nearly all the enemies...

As the redskins charge at the adventurers, Cheysuli flinches for a moment as her memory once more takes her back to that tragic night; not so long ago. All around her she sees their horrid grinning faces in flashes of lightning and hears their snarling laughs between the rolls of thunder...
The tiefling suddenly screams to the surprise and bewilderment of her companions, her eyes shed their normal silvery glean and begin to turn a disturbing blood red. Chey's earrings change colour to a deep red also, their light pulsing steadily as it increases in intensity casting eerie shadows about the chamber. She levels her rod at the warchief and bares her teeth at the enemy commander, her face contorted with an animal rage.
"You dare to destroy my home and take my father from me?! You will suffer the eternal torment of the Titans and beg for mercy that will never come!"
In the creatures mind, Cheysuli grows to immense size to tower above him as she steps into the room. Red hot chains fly from the shadows and wrap around his wrists and ankles, dragging him backward kicking and screaming as the floor behind him collapses into the fiery pits of Thatharus.

The chieftain looks very confused at Chey's outburst. He attempts to press the attack, but neither he nor his fellow hobgoblins are able to accomplish much, only dealing a moderate wound to Brenwar.
The beetle scuttles part of the way into the room. Its abdomen vibrates heavily, and then it spits a massive glob of acidic mucus at Brenwar. The paladin attempts to block it with his shield, but at the last second the chieftain reaches out and jerks the shield away. The acid hits Brenwar in the face, causing incredible searing pain. Brenwar collapses.
[sblock=Status]Initiative:
Warchief (16/64, bloodied)
Grunt 16 (42/47, Aegised)
Grunt 49 (35/47)

Miranna (35/35)
Firete (22/28)
Brenwar (-2/35, dying, +1 to all defenses, +2 to saves, Slowed, Marked by Grunt 49)
So, hobgoblins have an encounter power which allows them to immediately make a saving throw against one effect on them. The Warchief fails his save, but the grunts pass theirs (rolls).
As a minor, the Warchief uses Tactical Deployment, which allows each ally within 5 to shift 3 squares. Grunt 16 moves around to P12, and Grunt 49 moves to flank Brenwar. The Warchief attacks Brenwar, but misses, and then shifts. He saves against both slowing and Dreaming.
Grunt 16 shifts into a flank and attacks Miranna, missing, naturally.
Grunt 49 attacks Brenwar, hitting AC 25 for9 8 damage. Brenwar is marked and slowed until the end of the Grunt's next turn. He then shifts to adjacent to the Warchief.
The Bombardier Beetle scuttles forward and spits at Brenwar. It crits for14 13 acid damage, which drops Brenwar, causing his marks to drop off.
