GM says, "Okay. Last time, on The Kobold-Bashing Smile-Time Fun Factory:"

GM says, "You guys fought kobolds."

[D&D] GM says, "Then, you fought kobolds."

GM says, "Then, you fought kobolds."

GM says, "Then you... well, you get the idea."

Jourdain exclaims, "then we fought drakes!"

[D&D] Jacqueline says, "I'd like to watch. Is there a command to go straight to the Tavern, and where is the spectator channel (assuming not crows-nest)."

[D&D] Gunther says, "dtt"

GM exclaims, "Anyway, after some supreme variation in, yes, fighting guard drakes, you entered the room, where loud and exciting things started to happen!"

[D&D] Gunther says, "and #crows-nest"

Jacqueline has arrived.

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "Okay, thanks, Gunther."

GM exclaims, "Splinters splintered. Echoes echoed. And something big and heavy started rolling toward you!"

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says (to Jacqueline), "you also want to start maptool and go to the server"

GM says, "And, as soon as it did, Jourdain said..."

GM points to Jourdain.

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "go here - http://rptools.net/doku.php?id=maptool:intro"

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "click "MapTool 1.2.b32""

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "mmkay..."

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "and Java Web Start should fire it up automatically"

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "then file -> connect to server -> 209.6.216.253 port 29134"

Jourdain says, "good golly gumdrops"

GM exclaims, "And then you all rolled initiative!"

[D&D] GM asks (of inky), "Are you playing Karibel this time, too?"

Raderig says, "Ooooch naaaaee"

[D&D] GM asks, "Bah, how do I de-fog?"

[D&D] Jourdain asks, "how do you re-fog, you mean?"

[D&D] Raderig says, "It seems you did it fine just now"

[D&D] GM asks, "Enh, never mind, let's just roll with it. Get it, roll?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "actually, wait, you're not connected"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "or else my connection's died"

[D&D] Raderig asks, "who's not connected?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "the GM"

[D&D] Raderig says, "It looks like everyone's connected to me"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I see Matthew."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hmm, he's not on my list, nor Jota, so lemme disconnect and reconnect"

[D&D] Raderig says, "oops, there he goes."

[D&D] Tharl says, "I no longer see Matthew."

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Netsplit!"

[D&D] Gunther says, "oh wow, major blast from the past"

[D&D] GM says, "Okay, sorry about that."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ok, now I see the whole room"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "including maybe some stuff we shouldn't see, but oh well"

GM says, "So anyway."

GM exclaims, "As soon as the boulder comes rolling at you, you see a trio of kobolds up on a platform at the northern edge of the room!"

GM says, "(You can't see the ones in the middle room yet, so just try to pretend they aren't there, okay?)"

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "that's no boulder, it's a space station"

GM says, "One of the kobolds seems to be in charge--he's wearing what looks like a very elaborate bone mask."

GM says, "As soon as he sees you, he points and babbles something in koboldish. THE FINAL BATTLE... HAS BEGUN."

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline asks, "So, 209.6.216.253 port 29134 - is there a password or do I need an account or something?"

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "spoilers!"

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says (to Jacqueline), "just enter whatever username"

[Crows-Nest] * DavidW has left the channel.

GM exclaims, "The boulder comes careening out of the side chamber and starts rolling about the room!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Er, I thought I moved myself from 23 to 19."

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "if your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can use it to zoom in"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "you can also click and drag with the right mouse button to move the map"

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KOBOLDWYRMPRIEST(24) Tharl(23) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) KoboldDragonshield1(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) Raderig(6)

Tharl removes Tharl from the initiative list.

[D&D] Tharl says, "But I'm not allowed to be at 19."

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "Okay. It seems to be saying 'Loading... 0%' and has said that for some time now, but we'll see."

[D&D] GM asks, "What does something mean if it's ranged 10?"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Which of us wins the tie, me or the kobold?"

GM displays the initiative: Boulder(25) KOBOLDWYRMPRIEST(24) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) KoboldDragonshield1(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Jourdain says, "it can affect someone up to 10 squares away"

dfan has arrived.

Tharl registers himself at init 19.

GM registers KoboldDragonshield1 at init 18.

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "yeah, it's got to download the big map graphic"

GM exclaims, "The tiny kobold with the mask holds aloft what looks like a big staff and suddenly lets forth with a spell aimed directly at... Tharl!"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "though if it really makes no progress forever you can try disconnecting and reconnecting"

GM rolls 1d20+6: 9 | 15

GM exclaims, "And he hits!"

GM rolls 1d20+3: 1 | 4

GM says, "For a whopping four cold damage."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ha ha"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "that could have been a serious one, though"

GM says, "The kobold, obviously upset that he couldn't hurt Tharl more, starts stamping and (you think) swearing in koboldish."

GM says, "But he doesn't seem to do anything else... YET."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) JOURDAIN(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Jourdain says, "cursing is the universal language"

Tharl says, "We could use spells like that during the summer."

[D&D] GM asks, "Seriously, is there no way to defog an area?"

[D&D] GM asks, "Or to make it dark again, rather?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I don't understand what you're asking -- haven't you been defogging areas -- ok"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "try just using the defogging tool again"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "it seems like it might re-fog it"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "(it says expose/hide an area)"

[D&D] Raderig says (to GM), "It looks like if you try the same operation (where you drag a rectangle over an area) it toggles the fogginess"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Yeah, what Jourdain said."

[D&D] GM says, "That doesn't work. Oh well, nevermind."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ok, I guess I will run out into that open area and then throw a dagger at one of the dragonshields"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+8: 19 | 27

[D&D] GM asks (of Jourdain), "Which?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "27 vs AC of #1"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, and he hasn't acted yet this combat, which means I get combat advantage, which means I do a SNEAK ATTACK"

Jourdain rolls 1d4+4: 4 | 8

Jourdain rolls 2d8: 1 6 | 7

GM exclaims, "Jourdain is pretty small and the platform is 10 feet up in the air, but even from here he can hear the dragonshield grunt!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "so 15 damage total"

Jourdain advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) Jourdain(21) KARIBEL(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) Raderig(6)

Jourdain also draws another dagger.

[D&D] Gunther says, "how is "running out in the open" compatible with "sneak attack"? Only Gygax knows."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "it seems foolish to keep running out into the open by this wyrmpriest guy, but oh well"

GM says, "Jourdain can also see fountains of kobold-colored blood spurting up from that one kobold. Not pretty."

[D&D] Tharl says (to Gunther), "It is the 'jump out and yell BOO!' style of sneak attack."

[D&D] Raderig says, "Wow, I didn't know about that rule."

[D&D] Jourdain asks, "about sneak attack?"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Yeah, when the target hasn't acted in combat yet"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "it's only for rogues"

[D&D] Raderig asks, "Right. is it new in 4e?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "because we are so awesome"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "yeah"

[D&D] Raderig exclaims, "that is pretty awesome!"

Jourdain says, "anyway, Karibel will do that scorching burst thing on the wyrmpriest and friends"

Jourdain says, "on wyrmpriest, dragonshield #1, dragonshield #2"

Jourdain says, "vs their reflex"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 16 | 20

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says (to Tharl), "but he ran out and threw a dagger at him, *then* jumped out and yelled BOO!"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 2 | 6

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 19 | 23

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "which makes no sense!"

Jourdain rolls 1d6+4: 6 | 10

[Crows-Nest] Tharl says, "'Boo' is just a euphemism for 'dagger'."

Jourdain says, "anyone that hits takes 10 damage"

Jourdain exclaims, "and Karibel is done with his turn!"

Jourdain advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) THARL(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) Raderig(6)

[Crows-Nest] Tharl says, "And 'jumped' is a euphemism for 'ran out'."

GM says, "It looks like you just laid down a whole feast of pain on those three kobolds, AND THEY ATE THEIR FILL."

Jourdain exclaims, "delicious!"

[Crows-Nest] Tharl says, "And '!' is a euphemism for '15 points of damage'."

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "then him doing it twice makes no se... oh, ok"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

GM says, "One of the dragonshields is having a hard time standing up, but he's doing his best to protect the leader."

[Crows-Nest] Tharl asks, "Is it reasonable to slip between the boulder and the corner?"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Is it reasonable to slip between the boulder and the corner?"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Or is there not enough room to do so without being crushed?"

[D&D] GM says, "You're welcome to TRY."

[D&D] Tharl says, "s/being/risking being/"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "So what you're saying is that I'd need to make an athletics roll?"

[Crows-Nest] Gunther says, "tag: itsatrap"

[D&D] GM says, "Sure."

[D&D] Tharl says, "OK. Let's try it."

[D&D] GM says, "Go for it."

[D&D] Tharl says, "(The first part of my move, which isn't finished...)"

Tharl rolls 1d20+8: 3 | 11

GM says, "Ooh."

[D&D] Raderig says, "Um, don't forget you can move diagonally = 1"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, I guess there's a staircase there"

GM says, "Tharl, in a fit of insanity, attempts to play chicken with a rolling boulder bigger than his house."

GM says, "He doesn't win."

[D&D] Tharl asks (of Rad), "Is that true for corners as well?"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Oh, I don't know."

GM says, "Luckily, he only inflicts one damage when the boulder rolls over his foot, but the pain is severe enough that it knocks him prone."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Aw, prone? Drat."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Oh well."

GM says, "Except, wait, there's something else."

GM says, "Tharl's yelp of pain when the boulder transformed his foot into a fin..."

[D&D] Jourdain asks, "is standing up from prone a move action or a minor action?"

GM says, "...attracted the interest of a small creature in the northwest tunnel."

GM exclaims, "It's a spiretop drake!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "...move action, looks like"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Yeah, my bad. Not around corners."

Jourdain says, "uh-oh"

GM exclaims, "It starts chirping, not very happily I might add, at Tharl!"

Jourdain asks, "is that the same as the guys we just fought?"

GM registers SpiretopDrake at init 23.

GM displays the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) THARL(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Tharl asks, "So does moving diagonally when there's a corner nearby still count as one or no?"

[D&D] Raderig says (to Tharl), "No, you can't go diagonally around corners."

[D&D] Raderig says, "according to page 282."

[D&D] Tharl says, "OK. Then that was my seventh square, making it part of my second move action. And if I'm prone, then that leaves me without any useful actions."

Tharl advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KOBOLDDRAGONSHIELD1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hmm"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "actually, I think you can still throw a hammer while prone"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "if that is the kind of thing you wanted to do"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, wait, but I guess you don't have an action to do it in"

[D&D] Tharl says (to Jourdain), "Maybe if I spend an action point."

[D&D] Jourdain exclaims, "I guess we do have an action point to spend!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Two."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "lookin' good"

[D&D] Tharl says, "For now, I'll just hope the boulder goes around the corner and worry about what to do next next round."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "good plan"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hmm, I suppose wyrmpriest -> priest -> good will defense"

[D&D] Jourdain says (to GM), "your dude is up, I think"

[D&D] GM says (to Jourdain), "I know, I'm waiting for them to put out the fires that have sprung up all over their bodies."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "the fires of PAIN"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "and, uh, fire"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says (to Jacqueline), "did the map load yet"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain asks, "?"

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "Nope."

GM says, "Anyway, neither kobold up there with the leader seems to want to do anything. They're doing their best to not burn, which is taking up most of their time anyway."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KOBOLDDRAGONSHIELD2(15) Raderig(6)

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "And it's still just saying 0% for some reason."

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "Sadness."

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "grf, lame"

[D&D] GM says, "Raderig's turn."

[D&D] Raderig says, "Ahem"

Raderig moves in!

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "weather 65 here."

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "oops"

Raderig throws a Lance of Faith at the wyrmpriest

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 14 | 18

Raderig says, "vs ref"

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline asks, "So it should just load automatically, right? There's no way for me to force it somehow?"

GM exclaims (at Raderig), "You hit!"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "yeah, it should be downloading; sorry, I don't know what's wrong"

[Crows-Nest] Raderig asks, "Hmm, maybe it has something to do with the map selector?"

Raderig exclaims, "Och, ye evil draconic fiend! Taste the light of Erathis!"

Raderig rolls 1d8+4: 2 | 6

GM says, "The leader grunts, but he's still upright."

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "people saying 'och' will never not be funny"

GM exclaims, "You can feel his glower even from this many squares away!"

Raderig causes little sparkly lights to pop around Jourdain

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline asks (of Raderig), "Got an idea?"

Jourdain exclaims, "wheee!"

[D&D] Raderig says, "+2 vs that dude"

Raderig advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

GM says, "The kobold leader staggers a bit from the force of the Lance of Faith."

[Crows-Nest] Raderig asks (of Jacqueline), "Do you see a little icon with some text next to it in the top-right corner?"

GM says, "Clearly, it's a lance of someone's faith, but not his."

[Crows-Nest] Raderig asks, "Saying perhaps "Kobold Hall" or "Grasslands" or somesuch?"

GM says, "He shouts something high-pitched, and you hear scrambling from the room at the center of the chamber."

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "Kobold Hall, yeah."

Jourdain says, "we already know he worships whaddyacall"

Jourdain asks, "takhisis?"

GM exclaims, "Suddenly, two kobolds climb atop the room on an unseen ladder!"

GM says, "You may all remember that Tharl was trying to outrun the boulder."

GM says, "You may also all remember that it smashed his foot."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I would just like to say that I was totally not surprised by those guys showing up"

GM exclaims, "You may not have remembered, though, that he was still RIGHT BY IT, and thus ready to be squashed when it rolled past!"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "I thought it was going west!"

GM exclaims, "But luckily, he rolls out of the way JUST in time, as the boulder continues on its path of destruction!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Oh, right, the corner."

GM says, "The boulder rolls around the chamber."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "holy crap, that's a fast boulder"

GM says (to Karibel), "Roll perception, please."

[D&D] Tharl says, "(The corner that I was specifically hoping it would go around, even.)"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+2: 9 | 11

Jourdain says, "Karibel cares not for these mortal matters"

GM asks, "Karibel, not being a complete fool, just barely notices the boulder as it rolls past him. But does he escape in time?"

GM rolls 1d20+7: 9 | 16

GM says, "Not QUITE."

GM rolls 2d6: 1 4 | 5

Jourdain says, "uh-oh"

GM exclaims, "The boulder smashes right into him!"

GM exclaims, "And this time, he hits!"

Jourdain says, "yeep"

GM says, "Just barely, but a hit nonetheless."

GM rolls 1d10+3: 2 | 5

GM exclaims, "For 5 HP cold damage!"

Jourdain says, "brr"

GM says, "The spiretop drake isn't especially happy either."

GM says, "It was perfectly content sleeping until all you nasty adventurers came and woke it up."

GM exclaims, "It dashes out of its alcove and snaps its fearsome jaws at Tharl!"

Tharl says, "Hmm. Perhaps a lullabye..."

GM says, "However, it can't pierce his armor, so Tharl barely even notices."

GM says, "One of the kobolds atop the room in the middle of the chamber starts sniggering, and then aims his sling at Jourdain..."

GM says, "The shot he sent flying that way, though, bounces harmlessly off of Jourdain's armor and rolls into the corner."

GM says, "That kobold isn't happy about this turn of events, though, let me tell you."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) JOURDAIN(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Jourdain says, "hmm, ok, time to pull out the daily power, I think"

[D&D] schep says, "that'll take care of that boulder"

Jourdain says, "I throw a dagger at the wyrmpriest in a nefarious trick strike"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+10: 7 | 17

Jourdain says, "17 vs AC"

GM exclaims, "The dagger sticks in his shoulder!"

GM asks, "But how much damage did it do?"

Jourdain exclaims, "ha ha!"

Jourdain exclaims, "it does 3d4+4!"

Jourdain rolls 3d4+4: 1 1 3 | 9

Jourdain exclaims, "plus I can slide him one square -- right into the path of the boulder!"

GM says, "What the kobold leader won't tell you is that every time he goes to the Kobold Gym, he never works out his shoulders. NOW HE'S SORRY."

Jourdain asks, "actually, hmm, are they up on a platform?"

[Crows-Nest] Raderig says, "o/` Jourdain, f*** yeah, gonna save the motherf***ing day, yeah o/`"

GM says (to Jourdain), "Yes."

Jourdain says, "I believe he gets a saving throw to fall prone rather than falling off, then"

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "Continues to be sad."

Jourdain says, "assuming he wants to, which I expect he does"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "But if he fails his throw, falling damage?"

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "Pretend there was a : there."

[D&D] GM asks (of Jourdain), "How do I do that again?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "roll 1d20, 10+ is a save, unless he has some bonus"

GM rolls 1d20: 20 | 20

[Crows-Nest] Jacqueline says, "I will have to get that working in the future. Might just be my connection today or something."

Jourdain says, "nooo"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Boo!"

Jourdain says, "well, it's a daily, so I can actually slide him every time I hit"

Jourdain says, "but oh well"

GM says, "The kobold leader doesn't quite fall off the platform, but he's lying flat on his really ugly face. (At least you assume he's ugly. He's a kobold after all, even if he's wearing a mask.)"

Jourdain says, "he still takes the 9 damage"

Jourdain says, "hee hee"

Jourdain says, "I draw another dagger and am done"

Jourdain advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) KARIBEL(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Jourdain asks, "ok, so is Karibel stuck under this boulder? or just knocked over? or what?"

[D&D] GM says, "Oh, by the way, I realize there might be some confusion: Kobold Slinger 3 on the map is 1 in the init tool, and 4 is 2 in the init tool."

GM says (to Jourdain), "Knocked prone."

GM says, "Wait."

GM says, "No."

GM says, "Sorry. He stepped out of the way JUST in time."

GM says, "Wait, sorry again."

Jourdain asks, "so should I move him to another square? or is he in the same square, just out of the way?"

GM says, "I was right the first time. He's knocked prone."

Jourdain says, "you know who's sorry? THE GUY WHO GOT HIT BY THE BOULDER"

Jourdain asks, "right, ok, but now it's his turn -- so can he stand up and run away?"

GM exclaims (at Jourdain), "Well if he's that sorry maybe he should remember he got hit next time!"

GM says (to Jourdain), "Sure."

Jourdain says, "ok, Karibel gets out of what he thinks is the way"

Jourdain says, "and I guess that's his turn, but he'll get you next time"

Jourdain says, "no, I lie, he's going to use an action point"

Jourdain says, "that'll show 'em"

GM says, "I'm shown."

Jourdain says, "he spends an action point to take an extra action and zaps the wyrmpriest with a chill strike"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 1 | 5

Jourdain says, "uh, but not very well"

GM says, "A really sucky chill strike."

Jourdain advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) THARL(19) KoboldDragonshield1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Jourdain says, "well, c'mon, he just got hit by a boulder"

Jourdain says, "it's impressive he can do anything"

GM says, "The kobold leader just laughs as the strike hits the wall behind him. A few tightly fitted stones shiver for about five seconds."

Tharl starts by standing up.

Tharl decides that this is probably not a good place to stand, what with that boulder rolling around, and risks an OA by getting out of the way.

[D&D] GM says, "Uh, I can't remember how attacks of opportunity work."

[D&D] GM says, "(Sorry.)"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "the drake has a basic attack, which is marked with a sword in a circle"

[D&D] Tharl says, "The drake gets a free melee attack against me if he remembers to."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "it gets to make that against Tharl as he runs away"

[D&D] Tharl says, "If he doesn't remember how, then I get away scot free."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

GM says, "The drake tries to bite the departing Tharl, but again only sinks his teeth into Tharl's armor."

Tharl runs up the stairs and blasts the kobolds at the top with electricity!

[D&D] Tharl says, "Clockwise from bottom left:"

Tharl rolls 1d20+6: 19 | 25

Tharl rolls 1d20+6: 6 | 12

Tharl rolls 1d20+6: 15 | 21

[D&D] Tharl says, "Versus reflex."

[D&D] Tharl says, "And damage for anyone hit:"

Tharl rolls 1d6+4: 2 | 6

[D&D] Raderig says, "zapsplat"

GM says, "The kobold warrior closest to Tharl collapses into a heap."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "woot, we got one"

GM says, "The one in the corner grunts, but is still standing. It doesn't look like the leader was hurt at all."

Tharl advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KOBOLDDRAGONSHIELD1(18) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Gunther was awarded the Hemingway Prize for his report of the Holy Hand over the Holy Land.

GM exclaims, "The kobold in the corner runs up to Tharl and hits him with his sword!"

GM exclaims, "The kobold's sword is, shall we say, a bit more precise than the drake's teeth!"

GM exclaims, "Tharl receives 4 HP damage!"

[D&D] GM asks, "What does it mean if someone is 'marked'?"

Tharl exclaims (at Kobold), "Rarr!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "generally it means they have a -2 to hit people other than the person who marked them"

[D&D] Tharl says, "And they smell like urine."

[D&D] GM says, "Then that's Tharl until the end of this guy's next turn."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "sometimes the marker has other powers which work against people they have marked"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Drat."

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "I don't want to smell like kobold wee!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KOBOLDSLINGER2(9) Raderig(6)

GM says, "The second kobold atop the room in the center of the chamber has been watching what Tharl's been doing, and isn't that thrilled with how close he's getting to his leader."

GM says, "So this time he fires his sling at Tharl."

GM says, "Unfortunately, he misses."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) RADERIG(6)

[D&D] Tharl says, "I wonder if someone should try to get through those double-doors to take out the slingers."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Before they actually hit someone."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I am assuming the priest is the nastiest guy, although maybe that isn't true"

Raderig sees a comrade into some deep action, decides to join him

[D&D] Tharl says, "Yeah, I'm just worried that they've got more tanglefootses."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Like the one I think I gave you."

[Crows-Nest] schep asks, "anybody other than Tharl have an area attack?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hmm, true"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "Karibel"

Raderig double-moves just to get onto the base of the steps

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ha ha"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I hope this means the drake is going to get pasted"

[D&D] Raderig says, "sucks being a movement 5"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "because that would be hilarious"

Raderig casts Channel Divinity: Divine Fortune as a free action.

[D&D] Tharl says, "Yeah, I was thinking that as I moved out of the way myself."

Raderig advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

GM advances the initiative: BOULDER(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Tharl says, "'Would the drake be smart enough to figure out where the boulder would be and not stand there? No. No he wouldn't.'"

GM says, "The boulder keeps rolling around the chamber. It's not rolling quite as fast as it was earlier, so it might be running out of... uh... boulder steam."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KOBOLDWYRMPRIEST(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

GM says, "The kobold leader really isn't happy about seeing Tharl coming up on HIS platform."

GM says, "He steps toward Tharl and raises his staff, which... glows."

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Isn't he on the ground?"

[D&D] Jourdain exclaims, "you went up stairs to get to him!"

[D&D] GM says, "Uh, yes, sorry."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, right, but he's prone"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims (at Jourdain), "But knocked him over!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "+you"

[D&D] GM asks, "These freaking books really need better indices. What's the procedure when getting out of prone?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "it costs a move action"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I think he can also crawl one space as a move action without standing up"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Hee."

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "If you want to crawl on the ground like a kobold!"

GM says, "Let's try this again."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, crawl half your speed as a move action"

[D&D] Tharl says, "(And take whatever penalties to attack and defense are associated with being prone.)"

GM says, "The kobold leader really isn't happy about seeing Tharl coming up on HIS platform."

GM says, "He CRAWLS toward Tharl and riases his staff, which... glows."

GM says, "Then, he does something really unthinkable."

GM says, "He..."

GM says, "...breathes on Tharl."

Tharl exclaims, "Ewwwyuch!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ha ha ha"

Tharl asks, "What have you been *eating*?"

GM asks, "However, it just smells like... garlic?"

GM says, "So nothing else happens."

GM says, "The kobold is so unhappy about this, it almost looks like he's starting to cry. Man, what a wimp."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SPIRETOPDRAKE(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

GM says, "The drake, however, isn't quite as babyish."

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "Tharl's breathing was more impressive"

GM asks, "In fact, did you know that it's adult enough to... fly?"

Jourdain says, "hoo boy"

GM exclaims, "The drake flies up to the platform, and while it soars over Tharl's head, it reaches down and bites him!"

GM says, "Gods, even biting Tharl's HEAD, the drake can't do any damage. He starts sobbing along with the kobold leader."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KOBOLDSLINGER(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Jourdain says, "aww"

GM exclaims, "The first kobold atop the room in the center of the chamber thinks he can do better, and aims right at Tharl!"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "well, he's bigger than the kobold"

GM says, "Ooh, and he DOES."

Tharl exclaims, "This is what you get for being evil!"

GM says, "A small pellet sails through the air and hits Tharl in the leg."

GM says, "Interestingly, it doesn't do any damage, but it explodes and sends glue spraying all over him. Tharl can't move!@"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "ha ha ha"

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) JOURDAIN(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Tharl exclaims, "If I weren't already planning to kill you, oooh, how I'd be planning to kill you now!"

Jourdain exclaims, "Jourdain will hurl another dagger at the wyrmpriest!"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+8: 9 | 17

Jourdain says, "17 vs AC -- if that hits, the priest has to make another saving throw to avoid falling off"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Hmm, when did the priest actually make it over to the square next to mine?"

Jourdain rolls 1d4+4: 3 | 7

Jourdain says, "also, if it hits, 7 damage"

[D&D] Raderig says (to Tharl), "he crawled"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Also, it might be useful to be within 5 squares of me at some point in the near future."

[D&D] Tharl says (to Raderig), "Aha."

[D&D] Raderig says, "same thing for me about 5 squares, since I have some heals to give out when necessary. Of course, the boulder makes that difficult."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Also, I'm just glad that boulders don't provide flanking."

GM exclaims, "The dagger hits!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I guess it would be safe for me to run nearer the boulder, since it's not going to back up"

GM rolls 1d20: 6 | 6

Jourdain exclaims, "hooray!"

GM says, "Right... ew... between his eyes."

GM says, "Of course, he has that mask on, so it doesn't do much."

GM exclaims, "But it stuns him just enough that he topples off the platform!"

Tharl says, "Hey! Get back up... here..."

GM says, "As he falls, you hear him scream--not in koboldish, oddly: 'Protect the...'"

(From GM) SPLAT!

Jourdain says, "JUST AS I PLANNED"

Tharl exclaims, "I'm not done killing you yet!"

GM says, "The leader lies motionless. But as he hit the ground, his masked dislodged from his face and rolls a couple of feet away."

[D&D] Tharl asks, "If you wear it, do you get to be the new wyrmpriest?"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "And then you can tell all the kobolds what to do?"

Jourdain runs over to the priest, and that is the end of his turn.

Jourdain advances the initiative: Boulder(25) KoboldWyrmpriest(24) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) KARIBEL(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "And then you can organize them to take over the city!"

[D&D] GM says (to Tharl), "Not even kobolds are that stupid."

[D&D] Jourdain asks, "hmm, should Karibel attack the slingers or the drake or the other guy? I assume you two have the guys on the platform in hand?"

GM removes KoboldWyrmpriest from the initiative list.

[Crows-Nest] schep says (to Tharl), "that would be a bit tricky, since there aren't any kobolds"

[D&D] Tharl says, "The slingers, I'd say."

[D&D] Raderig says, "Yeah, go after the middle guys."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "alrighty"

[Crows-Nest] Tharl exclaims, "Oh, right. My mistake!"

Jourdain says, "hmm, they're up on ladders, I guess"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Does he have firey fire?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "he has THUNDERWAVE"

GM says (to Jourdain), "No."

GM says, "They're standing atop the ceiling of that room."

Jourdain says, "oh, ok"

GM says, "There's a hole in the middle they climbed up through."

Jourdain says, "well, same diff, they're on top"

GM says, "Yeah."

Jourdain raises HIS staff and unleashes a WAVE OF THUNDER

Jourdain says, "against #1 and then #2"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 8 | 12

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 2 | 6

[D&D] GM asks (of Jourdain), "Versus what?"

Jourdain says, "vs fortitude, but, uh, not a very good wave"

GM says, "You hit the first, but not the second."

Jourdain says, "hey hey"

Jourdain rolls 1d6+4: 5 | 9

Jourdain says, "9 damage, plus I get to push him two spaces"

Jourdain says, "which I guess means he has to save or fall off the roof"

GM rolls 1d20: 15 | 15

Jourdain says, "although I guess falling off only means 1d10 damage, so"

Jourdain says, "pshaw"

GM says, "He doesn't quite fall off, but almost."

Jourdain says, "at least he's prone"

Jourdain advances the initiative: Boulder(25) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) THARL(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Now then!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I am going to guess that the drake is the most dangerous thing we are facing right now."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "yeah"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "And my clock says DAILY POWER with a big alarm bell going brrrring BRRRRING!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Unfortunately, I used mine in the last encounter."

Tharl exclaims, "My sundial says -- or would, if there were any light down here -- that it's KLOBBERIN' TIME!"

[D&D] Raderig says, "woo, clobbering"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I shall now use Bastian of Defense."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Which starts with a melee attack versus AC on the drake."

Tharl rolls 1d20+7: 9 | 16

[D&D] Raderig says, "Don't forget you're marked on the kobold"

GM says (to Tharl), "You hit him."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Did forget, don't care, hope it works anyway."

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Yay!"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Second: damage!"

Tharl rolls 3d10+4: 8 7 2 | 21

schep disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.

[D&D] Jourdain says, "suhweet"

GM says (to Tharl), "He's not dead, but he's really not in good shape."

Tharl spins his greatsword like a giant blade form some sort of demented mechanical chef machine making really tiny pieces of vegetables or, in this case, drake.

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Finally: everyone on my team within 5 squares get 8 temporary HP!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "awesome"

[D&D] Raderig says, "woot"

[D&D] Tharl says, "(These are not technically real HP, but if anyone hits you, you lose your temp HP before your real ones.)"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Now, I think I'll play an action point as well, since I've got two."

[D&D] Tharl says, "And I will smakc the kobold who peed on me."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

Tharl rolls 1d20+7: 5 | 12

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Or fail trying!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "(Versus AC.)"

GM says (to Tharl), "You'll have to smack harder next time."

Tharl advances the initiative: Boulder(25) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KOBOLDDRAGONSHIELD2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

GM says, "Only Tharl is in reach of the last kobold on the platform... BUT IT'S ENOUGH."

GM says, "His sword training, however, was not enough, and he misses by a considerable margin."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KOBOLDSLINGER2(9) Raderig(6)

Tharl exclaims, "Finally! I thought that smell would never go away!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee more"

GM exclaims, "This kobold slinger, despite all outward appearances, isn't completely stupid, so he's not attacking Tharl this time. He goes after Karibel instead!"

Jourdain says, "hey, wait, I'm the wizard, says Karibel"

GM exclaims, "And the gambit worked, because he hits!"

Jourdain says, "go pick on a melee guy"

Jourdain says, "nuts"

GM says, "Only for 4 HP, but still."

GM advances the initiative: Boulder(25) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) RADERIG(6)

Jourdain says, "Karibel gives a thumbs-up for the temp hp"

Raderig exclaims, "Erathis, empower my hammer of smackin' with your holy light!"

Raderig swings at the drake.

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 18 | 22

GM says, "You hit."

Raderig rolls 1d10+2: 3 | 5

Raderig exclaims, "doubled!"

GM says, "The drake lets out a shriek and... falls dead."

Raderig says, "10 damage"

Raderig says, "ok, and everyone within five can take a healing surge if they want"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "A++++ would smack again"

Raderig says, "adding 4HP for my skillz."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hey, I do want"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Me too!"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Oh, wait, sorry, only one person."

[D&D] Raderig says, "Who wants it more? :)"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, I'm only down 5"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I've got 16+8 out of 25 eight now."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "go for it, then"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "OK. Thanks!"

Raderig points his photons at Tharl.

GM displays the initiative: Boulder(25) SpiretopDrake(23) KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) RADERIG(6)

GM says, "The boulder is definitely winding itself down now."

[D&D] Tharl says, "We've gotta finish the boulder after we take care of these guys."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

GM says, "It rolls around the corner one last time, then smashes into the wall... and stops."

[D&D] Jourdain asks, "how many hit points does a boulder have?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "...oh"

GM removes Boulder from the initiative list.

GM displays the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Raderig says, "maybe it's carrying some glod."

[D&D] Tharl asks (of Jourdain), "How many hit points does a wall have?"

GM says, "The kobold slinger gets up from his prone position, and takes aim at Jourdain."

GM exclaims, "And hits!"

GM says, "For a measly 4 HP damage. This kind needs to go back to sling school."

GM advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) JOURDAIN(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Jourdain says, "hmm"

Jourdain asks, "if I want to climb onto the roof, would it be helpful to climb onto the boulder first?"

[D&D] Tharl wonders if a boulder has more or fewer HP than a wheely mammoth.

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ha ha"

GM says (to Jourdain), "The shape of the boulder (round) would make that very difficult and more than a little dangerous."

GM says (to Jourdain), "But you're welcome to try."

Jourdain asks, "ok, so scrap that -- how hard would it be just to climb up the wall?"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Tharl could scamper right up a 10ft wall, and he's not even a rogue"

[D&D] Raderig says, "I guess it depends how high it is and what kind of surface it has"

[D&D] Tharl says, "That's because climbing is about strength, not dexterity."

GM says (to Jourdain), "You're pretty small, so it would be harder for you than for the larger guys. But you think you could probably find hand- and toeholds wihtout too much trouble."

[D&D] Raderig says, "ah."

Jourdain asks, "ok, I'll give it a shot -- what do I roll, athletics?"

GM says, "Yes."

Jourdain rolls 1d20+0: 4 | 4

Jourdain says, "whoops"

[D&D] Raderig says, "oof"

GM says, "You get a few feet up and then slide right back down."

Jourdain says, "ok, so much for that clamber"

Jourdain says, "I will run around to the doors and that'll be it for now"

Jourdain says, "maybe I will unlock them next turn"

Jourdain says, "maybe there are more drakes inside"

Jourdain advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) KARIBEL(20) Tharl(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Jourdain says, "and I guess Karibel will blast the two guys on the roof with fire this time"

Jourdain says, "vs #1 and #2's reflex"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 2 | 6

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 14 | 18

Jourdain rolls 1d6+4: 1 | 5

GM says, "You hit the second, but not the first."

Jourdain says, "5 damage, if it hits"

Jourdain says, "that'll teach you to fire sling stones at me! Karibel says"

Jourdain advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) THARL(19) KoboldDragonshield2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

GM says, "He does what kobolds do best: grunt with pain."

Tharl turns to the kobold who might now be 'marking' his boots.

Tharl grins as he hefts his greatsword.

[D&D] Tharl says, "While I attack, I'll use Wolf Pack Tactics to shift one square."

[D&D] Tharl says, "In case I miss and Rad needs to get through."

Tharl rolls 1d20+7: 19 | 26

[D&D] Tharl says, "That was versus AC."

[D&D] GM says, "That's a hit."

Tharl rolls 1d10+4: 8 | 12

GM says, "The kobold is doing what kobolds are second best at: bleeding profusely."

GM says, "He's still alive, though."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Hmm. Oh, what the heck, let's burn the other action point."

Tharl, just when the kobold thinks Tharl's done, whips his sword back and swings again!

Tharl rolls 1d20+7: 13 | 20

Tharl rolls 1d10+4: 3 | 7

GM says, "Yeah, he's pretty dead."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "aw yeah"

[D&D] Tharl says, "And for my move action..."

Tharl runs back down the stairs past Raderig to help the others.

Tharl advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KOBOLDDRAGONSHIELD2(15) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

GM removes KoboldDragonshield2 from the initiative list.

GM advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KOBOLDSLINGER2(9) Raderig(6)

GM says, "The kobold on the room thinks he knows what's coming, but it doesn't stop him from trying to shoot Tharl anyway."

GM says, "Nor, oddly, does it stop him from hitting--for 9 HP damage."

Jourdain says, "that's some serious slingin'"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Little does he know, I have TEMPORARY HITPOINTS."

GM says (to Jourdain), "Kobolds have to be good at something."

Jourdain exclaims, "grunting in pain!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

GM exclaims (at Jourdain), "I said good, not best!"

GM advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) RADERIG(6)

Jourdain says, "ok, point"

Raderig moves over to take a shot at the kobold on the edge.

Raderig calls forth a lance of faith at Slinger #1

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 7 | 11

Raderig says, "vs ref"

GM says, "Not a hit."

Raderig sulks a bit.

GM says, "The lance sails past him."

Raderig advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

GM advances the initiative: KOBOLDSLINGER(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

GM exclaims, "That was, however, enough to anger him into going after YOU now!"

GM says, "And HE hits..."

[D&D] Jourdain exclaims, "this time it's personal!"

Raderig exclaims, "I didn't mean nothin' by it, really!"

GM says, "...ALSO for 9 HP damage. Wow."

GM says, "These guys really aren't nice when they're angry."

GM advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) JOURDAIN(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Jourdain says, "Jourdain inspects the doors to determine if they are locked"

GM asks, "They are... not. Dude, what's wrong with these kobolds?"

Jourdain says, "ha ha"

Jourdain says, "ok, assuming they're not barred or anything, I will open the door and look inside"

GM says, "You do that."

GM says, "The room is totally empty, except for a ladder leading up through a hole in the ceiling."

Jourdain says, "I guess I will run in and climb up that ladder then"

GM says, "Okay."

Jourdain says, "then I will stab this guy next to me with a positioning strike"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+8: 3 | 11

Jourdain says, "11 vs will"

GM says, "Not willful enough, I'm afraid."

Jourdain says, "curses"

Jourdain says, "I'll get you next time, buddy"

Jourdain advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) KARIBEL(20) Tharl(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Jourdain says, "Karibel decides Jourdain would not appreciate a big pillar of flame on top of him, so he summons up his famous cloud of daggers instead"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 15 | 19

Jourdain says, "19 vs reflex for kobold #2 there"

GM says, "You hit. Obviously."

Jourdain rolls 1d6+4: 4 | 8

Jourdain says, "8 damage"

Jourdain says, "plus there are knives on top of him that'll do another 2 damage later"

GM says, "He stumbles a bit, but is still standing."

Jourdain says, "(but I can't find the icon, so we will have to pretend)"

Jourdain advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) THARL(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

Tharl does not know what Jourdain sees in this absurd 'door' concept he is trying to pionerr. Up the wall!

Tharl rolls 1d20+8: 2 | 10

dfan was up to his irresistably broad shoulders in trouble.

[D&D] Tharl asks, "...oh. So is that what you see in it?"

GM says, "Tharl gets all the way up. Barely."

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "pionerr indeed"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Wow! It's like it was built with handholds."

Tharl, since he is here, may as well chop up a kobold.

Tharl rolls 1d20+7: 13 | 20

Tharl rolls 1d10+4: 2 | 6

GM says, "'Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.'"

GM says, "Alive, but hurting."

GM says, "The title of most kobolds' autobiographies."

Jourdain says, "hee hee"

GM asks (of Tharl), "Are you done?"

Tharl advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KOBOLDSLINGER2(9) Raderig(6)

GM says, "The kobold, thinking he might have a better chance of taking down Jourdain, goes after the halfling with his dagger."

GM says, "The kobold was so very, very wrong."

GM advances the initiative: KoboldSlinger(22) Jourdain(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) RADERIG(6)

Raderig says, "LoF, take two:"

Raderig says, "(against slinger1)"

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 15 | 19

GM exclaims, "The lance hits him square in the chest!"

Raderig rolls 1d8+4: 5 | 9

GM rolls 1d20: 19 | 19

GM says, "The kobold clutches his chest."

GM says, "But in doing so, he loses his balance."

GM says, "'NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo...'"

Jourdain says, "ha ha"

(From GM) SPLAT!

GM removes KoboldSlinger from the initiative list.

Raderig exclaims, "Erathis ownz your soul!"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Oh, hey, we can flank!"

Raderig advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

[D&D] Jourdain says, "next up, the tea-bagging"

[D&D] GM says, "TS so very D."

[D&D] Tharl says, "I shoulda thought of that before I climbed up and come up a square further east."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "yes"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, well, I'll just move on my turn"

Jourdain advances the initiative: JOURDAIN(21) Karibel(20) Tharl(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

[D&D] Jourdain exclaims, "which is now!"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Good tming!"

Jourdain stabs at this guy.

Jourdain rolls 1d20+10: 17 | 27

GM says, "Yes he does."

[D&D] Tharl says, "(There is no 'I' in tming.)"

Jourdain says, "I suppose that hits"

Jourdain rolls 1d4+4: 2 | 6

Jourdain rolls 2d8: 1 5 | 6

Jourdain exclaims, "12 damage!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "(Except for the other one.)"

Jourdain advances the initiative: Jourdain(21) KARIBEL(20) Tharl(19) KoboldSlinger2(9) Raderig(6)

GM exclaims, "The kobold shrieks in rage, pain, and lots of other things as he collapses in a bloody heap!"

Jourdain says, "woot"

GM clears the initiative.

Tharl exclaims, "Whoof!"

Tharl says, "That was a pretty good workout."

GM says, "It's now very, very quiet in the chamber."

Raderig whistles the "battle won" music and jumps up and down

GM says, "The air is still."

GM says, "It's also stale, but that's cause it's underground."

Jourdain says, "it's all over but the looting"

Jourdain says, "and the protect the mysterious something he was telling us about"

Jourdain says, "and the looking at the mask thingy"

Tharl says, "Let's take five! Then we can find out how many monsters there are down there are up that other staircase."

Jourdain goes and looks at the guy's mask while he takes a break

GM says (to Jourdain), "It's a really ugly mask, made of bone."

[Crows-Nest] (from Tharl) GM says (to Jourdain), "Roll initiative."

Raderig goes to look at the hole the drake came out of.

GM says, "It looks like it was made especially for this kobold's face."

Jourdain says, "hunh"

GM says (to Raderig), "As you get closer, you see that it's a tunnel that dead ends about 15 feet in."

Jourdain says, "hand-crafted and snazzy"

Tharl decides that their adventure is probably nearly complete, so he starts collecting kobold biys as proof that they're dead.

Jourdain helps

GM asks, "Kobold biys?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ok, I have about 45 minutes left here, so probably not enough for another combat, but enough to do some wrap-up, at least"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Sorry, 'bits'."

[D&D] Tharl says, "As in noses or left feet or something."

[D&D] Tharl says (to Jourdain), "I think that was probably the last combat."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "some especially ugly kobolds have noses on their left feet"

Jourdain asks, "I guess I check out this place the boulder came from - is that a dead-end too?"

GM says, "It's a big empty room, also about 10 feet above where you are now."

Jourdain says, "so just some setup to give the boulder momentum, I guess"

GM says, "Basically, yeah."

Tharl asks, "What are they trying to protect?"

Tharl asks, "Is there soemthing at the end of the drake tunnel?"

Jourdain asks, "I'm not sure -- is there anything leading off that other platform?"

Raderig says (to Tharl), "it looked like a dead-end."

Raderig says, "but I didn't go in."

GM says, "It looks like a dead end."

Tharl says, "No, you're right."

Tharl exclaims, "Right then!"

Tharl asks (of Jourdain), "Is anyone here carrying any treasure?"

Raderig asks, "Hmm. Is the priest carrying anything?"

GM asks, "Does someone want to look?"

Raderig asks, "Or does he have, errr, pockets?"

Raderig looks.

GM says, "Well, hmm."

GM says, "First of all, there's his staff."

Tharl says, "Hey, that looks like treasure."

GM says, "It's nothing more than a long, gnarled piece of wood with an elaborately carved headpiece, but it seems to be glowing slightly."

GM says, "Let's see here, what else, what else."

GM says, "Well, this can't possibly mean anything."

Tharl asks (of Raderig), "Is that a priesty kind of staff thing?"

GM says, "But you find a tiny silver key wrapped in a piece of paper."

Raderig says, "Ah."

Raderig wonders if the staff is religious, and so performs a religion check:

Raderig rolls 1d20+5: 15 | 20

GM says, "Nope, not in any way religious."

Jourdain says, "Karibel will perform an arcana check, then"

Raderig says, "Nope, not in any way religious."

Jourdain rolls 1d20+9: 6 | 15

GM says, "Hmm, odd. It certainly seems to contain significant power, but you can't quite discern what."

Tharl says, "Strange."

Jourdain says, "hmm, it's got some crazy kobold thing"

Raderig examines the paper, expecting stuff written in a language he doesn't understand.

Tharl says, "I was under the impression that these sorts of things generally could be worked out with a bit of wiggling of eyebrows and the like."

Jourdain says, "I guess we can take it back to the city and identify it there"

GM says (to Raderig), "There's a bunch of stuff written in a language you... wait."

GM says, "You actually can kind of make out some of this."

GM says, "It looks like a message written in a couple of different languages, one of which is very rough Common."

Tharl looks over Raderig's shoulder, since he speaks draconic.

Raderig exclaims, "Ah, the Rosetta Koboldstone!"

Raderig says, "I mean, paper."

GM says, "The message says something like... I don't know, it's hard to say for sure since it's spattered in blood: "...key... northwest... door... unlock... ... ...rrax.""

GM says, "That's the most you can make out."

Raderig says, "Time to search the northwest corner."

Tharl exclaims, "We'd best all look!"

Tharl rolls 1d20: 8 | 8

GM says, "Tharl sees a rough rock wall, but nothing else of note."

[D&D] Raderig asks, "this is perception, right?"

Jourdain says, "Jourdain will look as well"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I assume."

Jourdain rolls 1d20+6: 8 | 14

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 11 | 15

[D&D] Tharl says, "(Karibel?)"

GM says, "Huh."

GM says, "How odd."

Jourdain says, "oh yeah, Karibel"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+1: 6 | 7

GM says, "Raderig discovers a tiny keyhold at about chest level."

Tharl exclaims, "There is nothing here, so it must be in another room!"

Jourdain says, "he continues to learn no lesson about perception from the boulder"

Tharl exclaims (at Raderig), "Come on, let's go see!"

GM says, "Most kobolds would have to stand on their tiptoes to reach it, but it's definitely there."

Raderig exclaims, "Ah ha!"

Raderig inserts the key, boldly.

GM exclaims, "A secret door opens, equally boldly!"

Raderig exclaims, "Ah ha!"

GM exclaims, "Revealing a staircase beyond!"

Jourdain says, "hey hey"

Raderig enters it, baldly.

GM says, "You all clamber down the staircase."

Tharl follows, trying not to trip over Raderig's heels.

Jourdain says, "hunh, so that's why you wear that helmet"

GM says, "You enter into a long corridor that doesn't look quite like the other corridors you've found int he hall."

GM says, "It's rougher, more natural looking, not a constructed place."

GM says, "You all approach the corner."

GM says, "The hall continues to stretch, turning to the right."

Jourdain says, "we've entered what seems to be an older, more primitive world"

Tharl asks (of Jourdain), "Is this your world?"

GM says, "You also notice, as you traverse the tunnel, that you're moving farther and farther down into the earth."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "yay"

Raderig says, "Och, mine ears"

GM says, "You're not sure how much deeper you are now than when you started, but it's quite a bit."

Tharl says (to Raderig), "Mine? Could be."

GM says, "Finally, you come to a large cavern."

[Crows-Nest] Tharl says, "Ah, good, I've been needing a drink."

[Crows-Nest] Tharl says, "...oh. 'Cavern'."

GM says, "Except..."

GM says, "Hrm."

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "ha ha"

GM says, "This cavern is different even from the hallway you just came through."

GM says, "First of all, it seems quite a bit colder."

Tharl looks around.

GM says, "And, second of all..."

GM says, "Well, this is really weird."

GM says, "There's an enormous plate of glass in the middle of the room."

Tharl asks, "Glass? Who could forge so much glass in a single plate, especially down here?"

GM says, "It's very, very quiet in here."

Raderig examines the glass closely for markings

GM says (to Raderig), "Huh."

GM says, "As you get closer, it seems like it's not even glass at all."

GM asks, "It looks like... ice?"

GM asks, "Why would there be ice down here?"

Raderig whispers "Cold..."

Tharl says, "Perhaps thiis is the lair of an ice dragon."

Jourdain says, "brr"

Jourdain says (to Tharl), "in that case, I'm using a healing surge"

GM says, "Everyone roll perception, please. This is just too weird, I have to figure out what's going on."

Tharl rolls 1d20: 18 | 18

Jourdain rolls 1d20+6: 10 | 16

Jourdain rolls 1d20+1: 9 | 10

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 8 | 12

[D&D] Tharl says, "Woah. That is the first decent perception check I have rolled."

[D&D] GM asks (of Jourdain), "Which is for you and which is for Karibel?"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "the 16 is for me and the 10 for him"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "the 16 is for me and the 10 for him"

GM says, "You hear a sound piercing the silence of the chamber."

GM says, "It's an odd... beating sound... almost like..."

GM asks, "...wings?"

Tharl says, "See? Told you."

GM says, "A young white dragon emerges from the shadows and lands on the ice plate."

Jourdain does some hasty math to work out how nasty a dragon N times as big as the drake would be

Raderig exclaims, "Erathis have mercy!"

GM says, "Surprising Karibel and Raderig but not Tharl and Jourdain, who've seen these kinds of beasts before."

GM says, "He says nothing."

Jourdain says, "whoah"

GM says, "He doesn't move."

GM says, "He makes no sound."

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Are dragons still color-coded for alignment?"

GM says, "He stares quietly at the party, his gaze moving from one member to another."

GM says, "Very slowly."

Jourdain asks, "uh .. hello?"

Raderig stands very still...

GM says, "He opens his mouth, as if to speak."

Tharl says (in draconic), "Greetings."

GM exclaims, "But he doesn't speak!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hmm, I'm not sure"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I think they're a little more flexible, at least"

GM exclaims, "Instead, a vast cloud of bitter cold comes sweeping out!"

Jourdain says, "I guess he isn't pleased to meet us"

GM exclaims, "Everyone is hit... for 12 HP damage!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Uh-oh."

GM says, "He rears back his really, really ugly head."

GM says, "And, while this is really, really ugly, it's not quite as terrifying as the dragon probably hoped."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

GM says, "Nonetheless, he's ready to bring down the cold... ON ALL OF YOU."

GM exclaims, "Roll initiative!"

Tharl rolls 1d20+3: 1 | 4

GM registers Dragon at init 14.

Jourdain rolls 1d20+6: 10 | 16

Raderig rolls 1d20+1: 20 | 21

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Catch you all at the end of the round!"

Tharl registers himself at init 4.

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, man, out of all the times to roll a 1"

Jourdain registers Jourdain at init 16.

GM displays the initiative: Jourdain(16) Dragon(14) Tharl(4)

Jourdain rolls 1d20+1: 13 | 14

Raderig registers himself at init 21.

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Karibel?"

Jourdain registers Karibel at init 13.

GM displays the initiative: Raderig(21) Jourdain(16) Dragon(14) Karibel(13) Tharl(4)

[D&D] Tharl says, "Timing."

GM advances the initiative: RADERIG(21) Jourdain(16) Dragon(14) Karibel(13) Tharl(4)

[D&D] Jourdain asks, "are we running away here?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "because that seems like the sensible thing to do"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I don't know how terrible a young white dragon is."

Raderig wonders if he knows anything about how tough this kind of dragon is

[D&D] Jourdain says, "well, I'm down to half hit points here"

Raderig checks his knowledge of Dungeons

Raderig rolls 1d20+6: 13 | 19

[D&D] Jourdain says, "so if he can do that again this combat then I am probably in trouble"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Also, most of you provoke an OA if you run."

GM says (to Raderig), "You're pretty sure that white dragons are the wimipiest of the chromatic dragons, though even a young one such as this one would likely be pretty tough."

Raderig says, "Actually, I have no idea if that's the rigth knowledge"

Raderig says, "ilac"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "yeah, but we're going to get hit in a round or two anyway if we stick around"

[Crows-Nest] Tharl says (to Raderig), "Yeah, you wanted the *other* of the two."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "also, we've all used our daily powers"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Yeah, I only have 11 left"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "I guess Karibel hasn't, but the rest of us have"

[D&D] Tharl says, "True. I guess Rad can't heal us all at once."

[D&D] Raderig says, "Not today, anyway"

[D&D] Raderig says, "I used that daily two encounters ago"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I can heal one person."

[D&D] Raderig says, "me too"

[D&D] Tharl says, "But I go last."

[D&D] Tharl says, "I guess people can shift and then move six spaces."

[D&D] Tharl says, "If they're really trying to get away."

Raderig shifts back

[D&D] Jourdain says, "true"

[D&D] GM asks, "Do attacks of opportunity apply to shifts?"

[D&D] GM asks, "I guess probably not?"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "I'd be willing to fight, since what have we got to lose but a handful of level one characters?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "no"

[D&D] Tharl says (to GM), "No, that's what shifts are for."

[D&D] GM says, "Yeah, that's what I thought."

Raderig heals the little dragon (Tharl)

[D&D] Tharl says (to GM), "You use your full move action just moving one space."

Raderig rolls 1d6+4: 6 | 10

Tharl exclaims, "Thanks!"

[D&D] Raderig says (to Tharl), "you can use a surge plus 10."

Raderig advances the initiative: Raderig(21) JOURDAIN(16) Dragon(14) Karibel(13) Tharl(4)

[D&D] Tharl says, "That easily heals me completely."

[D&D] Jourdain asks (of Raderig), "wait, you're not running away?"

[D&D] Raderig says, "I'll see what happens for another round :)"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "grf"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Afraid of a little TPK?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "ok, fine, I guess we can attack this guy"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "but I'm going to have to leave mid-combat anyway"

[D&D] Raderig exclaims, "maybe that thing he just did was an encounter or daily. Maybe!"

Jourdain shouts a halfling warcry and stabs the dragon

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "If we go quickly, maybe we can die before inky has to leave!"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+8: 11 | 19

Jourdain says, "19 vs reflex"

[D&D] GM exclaims (at Tharl), "That's the spirit!"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hmm, good point"

GM exclaims, "The dagger sinks deep into the dragon's hide! Deep enough to do damage!"

Jourdain rolls 1d4+4: 1 | 5

Jourdain rolls 2d8: 1 8 | 9

Jourdain exclaims, "14 damage since it hasn't acted yet!"

Jourdain says, "hmm, wait, actually, it had surprise"

Jourdain says, "so I guess it did act, so only 5 damage"

Jourdain says, "then I shift back"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Is that ice flat on the floor, or is it raised up?"

Jourdain advances the initiative: Raderig(21) Jourdain(16) DRAGON(14) Karibel(13) Tharl(4)

[D&D] GM says (to Tharl), "Flat."

GM exclaims, "The dragon whirls around to see what sharp pain it just felt in its side, and it spies Karibel!"

[D&D] GM asks (of Jourdain), "Ack, I closed the window, what's Karibel's AC?"

[D&D] Jourdain says, "17"

GM exclaims, "The dragon bites at Karibel!"

GM exclaims, "But... just misses!"

GM advances the initiative: Raderig(21) Jourdain(16) Dragon(14) KARIBEL(13) Tharl(4)

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Who here is in mortalest danger and most in need of HP when my turn comes around?"

[D&D] Raderig says, "I am just barely bloodied"

Jourdain says, "Karibel summons a flaming sphere, the icon of which I will get up in a sec"

Jourdain exclaims, "but in the meantime it attacks the dragon!"

Jourdain rolls 1d20+4: 14 | 18

Jourdain says, "18 vs reflex"

GM exclaims, "It hits him square in the stomach!"

Jourdain says, "and if it hits, 2d6+4 damage"

Jourdain rolls 2d6+4: 6 3 | 13

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Is a white dragon weak against fire?"

Jourdain says, "then Karibel shifts away and is done"

Jourdain advances the initiative: Raderig(21) Jourdain(16) Dragon(14) Karibel(13) THARL(4)

[D&D] GM says, "Not that I see."

GM says, "The dragon noticed the fireball, but seems hardly fazed by it."

Tharl exclaims, "Victory shall be ours!"

[D&D] Tharl says, "Inspiring word, healing for one ally: you guys pick."

[D&D] Tharl says, "Surge + 1d6."

[D&D] Tharl says, "While you're arguing over who just got healed:"

Tharl moves around behind the dragon, then charges it!

GM says, "Wait."

GM says, "The ice is difficult terrain for you."

[D&D] Tharl says, "That's OK, I've got plenty of move."

GM says, "(For all of you, for the record.)"

GM says, "Okay, that's fine."

[D&D] Raderig says (to Jourdain), "I'm at 11, fwiw"

[D&D] Tharl says, "I'm only charging two squares, and I've got six squares available."

Tharl rolls 1d20+8: 1 | 9

[D&D] Tharl says, "Versus AC."

GM says, "Tharl's weapon bounces off the dragon's thick, thick hide."

Tharl advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

[D&D] Jourdain says, "Karibel is at 11 and Jourdain at 12"

GM advances the initiative: RADERIG(21) Jourdain(16) Dragon(14) Karibel(13) Tharl(4)

[D&D] Jourdain says (to Raderig), "so go for it"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Alright"

[D&D] Raderig asks (of Jota), "did you roll that 1d6?"

Tharl rolls 1d6: 3 | 3

[D&D] Raderig says, "Alright, up to 20"

[D&D] Tharl says, "If Raderig moves in front of Jourdain, Jourdain can move in front of Karibel."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "oh, I thought you were taking the healing"

[D&D] Tharl says, "And you'd both get flanking."

[D&D] Tharl says (to Jourdain), "I think he did."

[D&D] Jourdain exclaims, "ok then!"

[D&D] Raderig says, "yeah."

Raderig moves up!

[D&D] Tharl says, "(AFK briefly.)"

Raderig swings his Erathis-empowered hammer!

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 4 | 8

GM says, "Erathis needs better blacksmits."

GM says, "Er, smiths."

Raderig uses an action point!

Raderig swings his hammer again!

Raderig rolls 1d20+4: 2 | 6

[D&D] Raderig says, "UENTHOSUHEO"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Woot!"

[D&D] Raderig says, "Thank you for making up for my very poor rolling"

GM asks (of Jourdain), "How much damage is that?"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "Was that sneaky attacking?"

Jourdain says, "for, uh, 8+16 = 24"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "With the flank?"

Jourdain says, "since, yeah, it's a sneak attack"

[D&D] Tharl exclaims, "Woot!"

GM says, "The dragon definitely felt that."

GM says, "He narrows his eyes and starts swinging his head in Jourdain's general direction."

Jourdain says, "uh-oh"

Jourdain says, "I guess given that, I hastily spend an action point and a second wind"

Jourdain says, "curses"

[D&D] Tharl asks, "By which I mean, should I spend my other Inspiring word to give you surge+1d6 on my next turn or save it?"

[D&D] Raderig exclaims, "crap!"

[D&D] GM says, "It's not enough."

[D&D] Tharl says, "So you got a 16 total."

GM says, "Then lets out the most blood-curdling scream you've ever heard, sounding something like a cross between a bat and a Forbidden Realms princess who found a zit on her nose on Ball Night."

[D&D] Jourdain says, "hee hee"

[D&D] Raderig says, "haha"

GM says, "The place where Jourdain stabbed the dragon gushes with blood, which is now staining the floor of the cavern beyond recognition."

Raderig exclaims, "DRAGOOOOOOOOOON!"

Tharl exclaims, "Dragon steaks for everyone!"

GM says, "The cavern goes even quieter than it was before."

GM says, "You no longer hear a single unnatural sound in the room."

[Crows-Nest] Raderig says, "AND THEN ITS MOTHER COMES OUT"

Tharl exclaims, "Quick, let's fan out and search the rest of the cavern in a quick montage scene summarized by the GM!"

[Crows-Nest] Jourdain says, "ha ha"
