Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC)

[Yttermayn]

The Kobold is nearly quick enough to pull it's leg out of the loop of chain before it is yanked tight, but an elongated claw snags in a link at the last possible moment and the creature's feet are whipped out from under it.
(Dex based resist trip roll:1d20+2=21 Please check Tuk's position. L12 is next to Thrindar, not a kobold.))

 

[Voda Vosa]

L 2 sorry.

 

[Scott DeWar]

John tannerson ac 12, location H,9 hit points 2/4

John is hit most severly by the bolt. He knows he needs to help as much as possible as fast as possible. the ambush line is well placed and well organized. Not a good sign for the party of green heros. He knows he has been easily hit once and that his last spell was quickly disrupted during the chaos. he makes a split second decision. He moves to I 9 and draws his cross bow and a bolt. (move action)

Awaiting next turn to do any thing else.

 

[Yttermayn]

Next action: Thrindar

[Guest 11456]

Thrindar, Evoker1, AC14, HP10/10, F+3,R+0,W+4

Thrindar intones a spell and a shimmering field of force surrounds him while a tiny version surrounds Toby. Then the dwarf and cat moves east.

OOC: Casting mage armor on himself and Toby (standard action). Then moving to O-13 (move action).

 

[Voadam]

If it is not too late Jakobee will use his unused move action to step behind Scrag/Grok for cover after blasting at the kobolds.

 

[maddmic]

Grok realizes that not engaging the enemy will quickly drain Pelors favor for the day. He cannot hop to keep up with the damage being dealt by the multitude of kobolds that managed to surprise them.

Gripping his mace tightly, Grok rushes off into combat, charging the little beasties.

OOC:
Grok will move to H5 which should be 40' movement for him which is double. If I'm incorrect and he can actually make it to the kobold at I3, he'll charge the bugger and swing.

 

[Yttermayn]

If it is not too late Jakobee will use his unused move action to step behind Scrag/Grok for cover after blasting at the kobolds.

Ok, but let's limit retro-actions.

Grok realizes that not engaging the enemy will quickly drain Pelors favor for the day. He cannot hop to keep up with the damage being dealt by the multitude of kobolds that managed to surprise them.

Gripping his mace tightly...
...he'll charge the bugger and swing.

Please post combat actions in order of initiative. It makes it easier for me to keep track of things.
Hopefully future combats will flow smoother as I get a system going.

Battle Map updated for Thrindar and Jakobee.
Next Action: Scrag

[crazy_monkey1956]

OOC: If possible (I think it is, looking at the map), Scrag is going to charge one of the kobolds.

Scrag howls like an enraged, wounded animal and charges at the kobolds.

Charge attack with greataxe; damage (1d20+7=26, 1d12+7=14)

OOC: Splat!

 

[Yttermayn]

Scrag's axe connects with the kobold with shocking speed. The slash blasts its way through the kobold's ribs and up through it's body to exit the shoulder, sending the two pieces of kobold flying with the momentum of the charge. Nearby enemies are treated to chunky and stringy bits of their brother landing on them.

Next up: Tuk
Updated the battlemap, now showing cover and improved colors to make them more easily distinguished. Guessing at where Rosalia went, so please let me know if it needs changed. I can't quite get her to cover with one action unless she runs. Can she run in a straight line and then attack? I think so, will have to check to be sure. If she does get to cover, it will be adjacent to a kobold. I'll leave her at 30' from the trail till we get it figured out.
