OOC: I had to look this one up; charging in a surprise round can be done when the only action you can take
is a standard action. A charge is normally a full action.
OOC: And 100xp to Roderic for acting like a paladin and blowing any stealthy approach to the sitch all to hell!
Before anyone is expecting it, Roderic darts into the room and whips his blade in a wicked backhand. An arm and head, still attached to each other, goes flying into one of the creatures. The thing's face still expresses wordless surprise as it's jaw makes gawping motions: screams with no lungs to power them.
John pats the Troll and gets him moving toward the enemies. He unconsciously wipes his hand on his robe, and notes that the part of his elbow that has the black scab on it is now numb when it brushes the inside of his robe.
Grok and Scrag head in side by side, forming nearly ten feet of ugly. With a few steps, they could both be in melee range of several opponents. A quick glance reveals eight similarly-garbed kobolds in various states of shock. One of them is actually in two pieces, with Roderic standing over it. Scrag's only choice to save face now is to kill
more of them than Roderic.
A hitherto unheard roar bellows from Scrag, and he takes two massive steps. The greataxe passes straight through another terribly unlucky kobold and lops the upper two feet of a stalagmite off, leaving a bloody, six inch diameter stone stump.
Rosalia doesn't see anything that would single out an individual as a magic user, but her keen eyes
do spot what must be a side room with a piece of sack cloth hanging over it. Anyone or thing in that room would almost certainly be aware of the attack very quickly.
OOC: Everyone roll init. Tuk, what is your surprise round action? Amaury, no kobolds are trying to leave yet, they are still surprised, but you may retain your attack and damage roll for your next attack if you wish.
Init:
Grok

Scrag 11
