Nex ducks below the Goblin's spear thrust, dropping a shroud and shifting his grip on his sword and sending a backhanded swing towards the Goblin balanced precariously on the edge of the pit. The hit is good, slashing the Warrior across the face and drawing blood from the wound (30 vs AC Hit, 11 Damage. Snake-eyes for damage, dang...). He then readies himself for the upcoming attack from the Warrior while also shouting challenges and insults down at the nearby Drake, hoping to keep the creature occupied and distracted until Nex's companions finish off the ones menacing them currently.

I have no idea. I clicked the dice on his character sheet and those are the dice and bonuses it spit out. If some part of the calculation is wrong feel free to correct it.
Sorry. This weekend was really busy and I meant to do it on Friday, but I was in a car accident on Wednesday (someone rear ended me really bad). So I've been dealing with the follow up shit that goes with that and haven't had time to really think about this. Usually work is the only time I can make posts, but it's just been crazy.
No problem. I think it goes for everyone that if you feel like you won't be able to post for bit or are just too busy, all anyone needs to do is make any short notice in the thread and we can cover turns for each other to keep the game moving.
As Akarr moves away the drake slashes with it's clashes, raking him along the arm before he can bring his shield up. Aieldar extracts vengeance shortly after as he measures a shot, launching it while the drake is vulnerable, it's growl falling to a gurgle as the elf's arrow embeds itself in the gap between armor plates on it's throat.
Nex continues his duel with the goblin warrior atop the cobbled floor, he is rushed by the goblin as it shoves at him with the haft of it's spear. The assassin is quick to counter and repels the attack before he can be pushed from the edge. The growls of the drake can be heard as it circles the base of the earthen pillar.
Opportunity attack from Guard Drake B against Akarr as he moves away. Attack roll: 1d20+10 = 23.
Damage roll: 1d10+4 = 8.
The goblin now out of flasks leaps for the safety from the flaming orb, misses his mark badly and plummets straight off of the ledge. The goblin to the ground however, throws another smoke pluming flask over the edge of the flooring, exploding on the floor and peppering those near by with fiery drops.
Bombardier B
Start of turn it takes 8 damage from Mindartis' fire orb. Movement action: Move to K4, jumping the gap.
Skill check: 1d20+3 = 9. (Turns out he's trained in acrobatics, not athletics. Otherwise he would have made it.
Fall damage: 1d10 = 7.
Acrobatics check to reduce fall damage: 1d20+11 = 12. Fall damage reduced to 1 and he is prone.
Bombardier A Standard action: Alchemists Fire at E3. Attack roll is 1d20+8 vs Reflex. Half damage on miss.
Attack roll vs Thud = 9. Critical Miss.
Attack roll vs Akarr = 17. Hit.
Attack roll vs Mindartis = 23. Hit.
Damage roll = 1d10+4 = 7. Thud only takes 3 on the miss.
The last remaining drake snaps at it's tormentor, though it's frenzy has noticibly lessened at it's companion's demise.
Drake A Standard action: Bite Samhradh. Attack roll: 1d20+10 vs AC = 12. Miss.
That sucks Ryadic. We've been having really thick fog the last week or so and for some reason people drive more dangerously when the weather is terrible.

Map:
Features:
Illumination: Bright light.
Excavated Area: The excavated area is 10 feet below the level of the original floor. Anyone who falls off a plank or off the edge of a raised area into the excavation takes 1d10 damage and becomes prone.
The walls are bare earth, and scaling them in either direction requires a DC 15 Athletics check. However,
on any such attempt to ascend or descend a wall, there is a 50% chance (a roll of 1–10 on 1d20) that the earth crumbles and sends the character sliding down to the floor. A character who falls in this fashion becomes prone in the square where he began his movement but takes no damage.
Impassable Terrain: The area in the northwest corner of this area is where the goblins have piled the dirt they dug out of the room. No character or creature can move into these squares.
Planks: Any Medium creature attempting to move along a plank must make a successful DC 15 Acrobatics check or fall into the pit. If a character wearing heavy armor moves onto a plank, it snaps in half, sending the broken pieces and the character into the excavated area. The planks are not secured to the raised areas that they connect.
Ladders: Anyone climbing up or down a ladder moves at half speed, using 4 squares of movement to travel 10 feet. As a standard action, a character or a goblin can topple a ladder so that it falls into the excavation. A fallen ladder can be picked up and repositioned by a PC or a goblin that takes a standard action and succeeds on a DC 10 Strength check. The guard drakes are not capable of manipulating the ladders.
Ramp: The square along the south wall of this chamber that is adjacent to the raised area has been only partially dug up, so that it serves as a ramp between the original floor and the excavation. The goblins and guard drakes use the ramp to get into and out of the excavation.
Up Next: The Crew. On Deck: Drakes and Goblins and bombs oh my!
Shit. Can the Elf and Not-An-Elf focus on those stupid goblins? And maybe give Nex some support? Poor bastard has been out there all alone this whole combat (though he's still doing better than us) and the three melee types will finish this Drake. Does that sound like a plan?
Scosglen & Residue: I've got one more Healing Word that I can use this combat, and 2 Dwarven Ale based potions of healing. Who needs more help? I'd say Akarr, because I need him alive and pounding on Drakes with Thud.
If I have the sphere move and attack the Bombardier that's prone, do I (or rather the sphere) get combat advantage against him? Or would I rather get -2 for attacking a target that's lieing down?
Declaration of intent: I plan to finish off the prone gnome with the sphere. And then spend an action point to move forward and use an encounter power on the remaining Bombardier. Ryadic to either team up with me depending on how I do or get in a shot at the warrior next to Nex. Hmm. If Ryadic shoots an arrow at the Warrior, and Nex shifts a step to the right, does Nex then get Flanking bonus?

"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
Steel, I have my encounter utility and one more heal left, so I should be able to patch myself up once more for this fight, will do so after I get back from my run
This is going to be really stupid, but at the same time, super classy (Gods I hope this hits...):
Nex keeps his balance atop the stone pillar, but barely, and begins to desperately look for a way to create some distance between himself and the angry Goblin. Then, with the sound of the falling Bombardier, he glances down and sees it. Nex drops a shroud over the Warrior next to him, then leaps forward into his shadow, vanishing and reappearing down below next to the stunned Bombardier [Shadow Step to J6]. Spinning, Nex throws a noose of shadow up towards the Warrior, yanking violently at his throat and pulling him teetering towards the edge of the cliff... [Executioner's Noose with a Shroud, 24 vs Fort, hit! 17 Damage, and the Goblin is pulled 2 squares towards me and (if he fails his save) off the cliff for some delicious falling damage]

@Scosglen: Are you sure? Which of us is the better leader for bashing things? I mean, Thud likes it better, no contest. But is he better at actually doing it? I don't know.
The goblin warrior scrabbles at the floor as Nex's noose wraps drags him towards the edge, managing to grip onto a flagstone on the ground and hold onto it for dear life.
Saving Throw: 1d20 = 19. Saved from falling, the goblin warrior is now prone.
Declaration of intent: I plan to finish off the prone gnome with the sphere. And then spend an action point to move forward and use an encounter power on the remaining Bombardier. Ryadic to either team up with me depending on how I do or get in a shot at the warrior next to Nex. Hmm. If Ryadic shoots an arrow at the Warrior, and Nex shifts a step to the right, does Nex then get Flanking bonus?
The prone goblin is out of flasks, so he can't throw any more of them at you, only spears. The one up the back that is still standing has a couple remaining so he's probably the one you want to go after.
I would say that the prone goblin does confer combat advatage to the sphere though.
Ranged attacks don't receive or offer combat advantage. There's a feat for it though, if you have two people flanking it already.
Dang, that would've been a cool way to kill him. Oh well, he's at 4hp, I'd imagine his chances of seeing the next initiative pass are growing rather slim...

Man I love Rubbin' dirt on stuff, what a useful ability
The Wizard is starting to look as if he could use a nap. Like a week long nap. He grits his teeth and looks through the room. With a whimper he tosses away a magic missile across the room, hitting the goblin warrior square in the back, toppling him over. One down.
Mindartis blinks, almost in surprise and then manipulates the sphere again, making it roll to the left and down, placing it right in front of the Bombardier that's still standing upright. The sphere does nothing more impressive than that, however.
Move: None.
Minor: Maintain sphere.
Standard: MM at warrior. Magic Missile vs Reflex:HIT for 13 - Warrior be dead.
Action point!
Minor: None.
Move: Move sphere to E8, floor level.
Standard: Attack Bombardier with Sphere. Flaming Sphere vs Reflex: MISS. Because that's how I roll.
Effect: You can designate the nearest enemy to you that you can see as your quarry.
Once per round, when you hit your quarry with an attack, the attack deals extra damage based on your level. If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled. If you have dealt Hunter’s Quarry damage since the start of your turn, you cannot deal it again until the start of your next turn.
The hunter’s quarry effect remains active until the end of the encounter, until the quarry is defeated, or until you designate a different target as your quarry.
You can designate one enemy as your quarry at a time.
Level Hunter’s Quarry Extra Damage
1st–10th +1d6
@Ryadic: Hope you're ok after your accident! I think you should pick off any goblins in the pit, especially ones who throw fire gourds at dwarves.
With Akarr besides him, Thud feels invigorated and renewed in his hated for these jerks. The runes of Moradin on his hammer glow as Thud tries to brand the Drake, but it deftly ducks its head, and Thud's blow misses.
"Aw, rocks."

As the drake lunges at Akarr, Samhradh attempts to punish it with a sword in the face. Or even the side. But the blow skitters off the drakes thick scales. With building anger, Samhradh slashes at the drake again, this one piercing the scales. A rolling laugh follows, which hits the drake like a thunderclap, leaving it deafened and dazed.
I'll do Aieldar to keep things moving into the next round.
Aieldar shifts his focus from the Drake to the Goblin that has been drawing his ire with the explosive vials.
Carrying his bow one handed, he leaps across the gap to the platform previously occupied by the now fallen goblin, draws a bead and lets fly with a shaft which sinks into the goblin's leg crippling it. With lightning speed he withdraws another arrow and strikes it's shoulder this time.
Movement action: Jump to opposite platform, then move to F8. Athletic's check is 1d20+7 = 23. Cleared!
Minor action: Hunter's Quarry on Bombardier A.
Standard action: Hunter's Bear Trap on Bombardier A. Attack roll: 1d20+11 vs AC = 17. Hit!
Damage roll: 2d10+5 = 14 +1d8 (Hunter's Quarry) = 16 altogether. The goblin is slowed and ongoing 5 damage. (Save ends)
Action point!
Standard action: Careful Shot on Bombardier A. Attack roll: 1d20+12 vs AC = 25. Hit!
Damage roll: 1d10+5 = 13.
The drake at the back of the hall lets out a roar of triumph as it's elusive meal flashes into sight in front of it and charges forward at Nex. The Changeling attempts to parry the blow but the force of the charge is too much as it finally sinks it's teeth into him.
To his left the groggy goblin stands back up, delighted to be within range of it's foe with no bombs at it's side. Hefting it's pick in one hand it lashes out with it's pick but Nex easily pushes away the clumsy blow.
Drake A Standard action: Charge at Nex. Attack roll: 1d20+11 vs AC = 20. Hit.
Damage roll: 1d10+4 = 12.
Goblin Bombardier B Movement action: Stand Up
Standard action: Attack with the pickaxe. Attack roll: 1d20+9 = 12. Miss.
The goblin engaged by Aieldar puts it's weight on it's other leg, trying to alleviate the pain of the arrow shaft sunk deep into it's leg. Stumbling back to the rocks at the edge of the room, it readies it's final flask to throw at the elf before attempting to stem the flow. Aieldar is ready for this however and as it fumbles with the stopper looses another arrow directly into it's head, causing the flask to drop to the floor and explode upon the goblin's corpse.
Goblin Bombardier A Start of it's turn it takes 5 ongoing damage from Hunter's Bear Trap.
Movement action: Move to F11. (Slowed)
Standard action: Alchemist's Fire at F8. Attack roll: 1d20+8 vs AC = 16.
Immediate interrupt from Aieldar:
Disrupting Strike: When you or an ally is attacked by a creature make a Dex vs AC attack. On hit 1[W]+Dex damage and target takes a penalty to it's attack roll equal to 3+Wis modifier (-6) Attack roll: 1d20+10 vs AC = 22. Hit.
Damage roll: 1d10+5 = 13.
Goblin Bombardier A dies.
The drake reels from Samhradh's thunderous blow, streams of thick dark blood run down it's sides from the many cuts it has received but rallies and bites down hard on his arm with the crunch of yielding metal.
Guard Drake C Standard action: Bite Samhradh. Attack roll: 1d20+10 = 30. Crit!
Damage roll: 1d10+4 = 14.
Ignore the top Bombardier on the map, he's dead but I'd already saved the map.

"Rrrraaaaah, I've had enough o' these beasties!" Thud growls, a dangerous look in eyes. Whispering a faint prayer or Moradin, Thud brings his hammer back over his head and brings it crashing straight down onto the Drake's head. The thunderous blow is made even more punishing by the fact that the Drake's entire noggin bursts into flames! "Take that, you foul smelling, dull toothed, poor excuse fer a dragon!"
Minor Action: -
Move Action: Shift to G3 for some flanking...
Standard Action: Avenging Flame = CRIT!!!!! for 27 + 6 = 33 pts of Damage
The drake takes ongoing 5 points of fire damage, and if the drake attacks on its turn, it cannot save against the ongoing damage. Fucker.
Akarr takes advantage of the Drake's momentary distraction as it sinks its teeth into Samhradh to cautiously back up a few steps, wheel about and run to create some distance. Turning back to the Drake, Akarr lowers his head and leans forward, bursting into a flat out charge, sword readied to lash and shield held forward to bludgeon.
Move Action: Move to C2
Standard Action: Flattening Charge on Drake C (charge to F2) Attack vs Fort:: 1d20+7+3+126, HIT! Damage Roll:: 1d8+34 Damage Effect: Creature is knocked prone
The blade connects only with mild satisfaction along the scaly flank, but Akarr swings his shield and smashes one of the beast's legs, mangling it with the sound of shattering bones as the Drake collapses with a howling roar.
Nex needs to get out, and he knows it. Nex spins to face the Bombardier, contorting his features and limbs in an effort to confuse the goblin [Changeling Trick] and then lashing out with a sword thrust empowered by a shroud [Shroud + Leaping Shade]. While his trick does confuse the Goblin, his sword still can't find its mark as he nearly loses his grip on the blood-slick hilt URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2554965/"]Success on the Changeling Trick (I have CA on the Bombardier until the end of my next turn), Fumble on the Attack (naturally)[/URL. Nex then steps through the overlapping shadows of the Drake and the Goblin, reappearing safely up on the ledge near where his companions are finishing off the other demon lizard [Shadow Step to H4].

Mindartis rushes up to the edge next to Nex and gives him a quick wink. "Where've you been? There's a fight going on right here?" Apparently the healing he got from Thud also restored his wonderful sense of camradiere. He flicks out his wand and draws a circle in the air with it. The circle takes on color, then shape, and suddenly a glowing orb of force is zapping down into the put, hitting, albeit merely glancing it seems like, the Bombardier, but the orb cracks and the shards dig into the drake behind him.
"I was expecting a lot more from that." mutters the Eladrin, looking a bit perplexed.
Minor: maintain sphere
Move action: Move to G4.
Standard: Force Orb at Bombardier
Nex turns and smirks at Mindartis, "Oh you know, such interesting architecture down here, must have gotten distracted and missed all the fun." He wipes a forearm across his sweaty brow, leaving a streak of blood, and shrugs. "Well, maybe not all of it."
Turning down to the last enemy Goblin, Nex shouts, "Hey Goblin! Not sure you realized this, but you are out of bombs, and we are not!" He then makes an obscene gesture made possible only through the shifting anatomy of the Changeling race.

Map:
Features:
Excavated Area: The excavated area is 10 feet below the level of the original floor. Anyone who falls off a plank or off the edge of a raised area into the excavation takes 1d10 damage and becomes prone.
The walls are bare earth, and scaling them in either direction requires a DC 15 Athletics check. However,
on any such attempt to ascend or descend a wall, there is a 50% chance (a roll of 1–10 on 1d20) that the earth crumbles and sends the character sliding down to the floor. A character who falls in this fashion becomes prone in the square where he began his movement but takes no damage.
Impassable Terrain: The area in the northwest corner of this area is where the goblins have piled the dirt they dug out of the room. No character or creature can move into these squares.
Planks: Any Medium creature attempting to move along a plank must make a successful DC 15 Acrobatics check or fall into the pit. If a character wearing heavy armor moves onto a plank, it snaps in half, sending the broken pieces and the character into the excavated area. The planks are not secured to the raised areas that they connect.
Ladders: Anyone climbing up or down a ladder moves at half speed, using 4 squares of movement to travel 10 feet. As a standard action, a character or a goblin can topple a ladder so that it falls into the excavation. A fallen ladder can be picked up and repositioned by a PC or a goblin that takes a standard action and succeeds on a DC 10 Strength check. The guard drakes are not capable of manipulating the ladders.
Ramp: The square along the south wall of this chamber that is adjacent to the raised area has been only partially dug up, so that it serves as a ramp between the original floor and the excavation. The goblins and guard drakes use the ramp to get into and out of the excavation.
Up Next: The Crew.
On Deck: Drakes and Goblins and bombs oh my!
Scosglen & Residue: I've got one more Healing Word that I can use this combat, and 2 Dwarven Ale based potions of healing. Who needs more help? I'd say Akarr, because I need him alive and pounding on Drakes with Thud.
Shit Ryadic. Hope it works out.
Declaration of intent: I plan to finish off the prone gnome with the sphere. And then spend an action point to move forward and use an encounter power on the remaining Bombardier. Ryadic to either team up with me depending on how I do or get in a shot at the warrior next to Nex. Hmm. If Ryadic shoots an arrow at the Warrior, and Nex shifts a step to the right, does Nex then get Flanking bonus?

Nex keeps his balance atop the stone pillar, but barely, and begins to desperately look for a way to create some distance between himself and the angry Goblin. Then, with the sound of the falling Bombardier, he glances down and sees it. Nex drops a shroud over the Warrior next to him, then leaps forward into his shadow, vanishing and reappearing down below next to the stunned Bombardier [Shadow Step to J6]. Spinning, Nex throws a noose of shadow up towards the Warrior, yanking violently at his throat and pulling him teetering towards the edge of the cliff... [Executioner's Noose with a Shroud, 24 vs Fort, hit! 17 Damage, and the Goblin is pulled 2 squares towards me and (if he fails his save) off the cliff for some delicious falling damage]

@Scosglen: Are you sure? Which of us is the better leader for bashing things? I mean, Thud likes it better, no contest. But is he better at actually doing it? I don't know.
Your mark enforcement does work on OAs, yes.
The prone goblin is out of flasks, so he can't throw any more of them at you, only spears. The one up the back that is still standing has a couple remaining so he's probably the one you want to go after.
I would say that the prone goblin does confer combat advatage to the sphere though.
Ranged attacks don't receive or offer combat advantage. There's a feat for it though, if you have two people flanking it already.

Man I love Rubbin' dirt on stuff, what a useful ability
Mindartis blinks, almost in surprise and then manipulates the sphere again, making it roll to the left and down, placing it right in front of the Bombardier that's still standing upright. The sphere does nothing more impressive than that, however.

Action point!

Also, which monster do you guys think is best for me to attack? I still have my daily (Hunter's Bear Trap) in case you think I should use that.
Minor Action
Effect: You can designate the nearest enemy to you that you can see as your quarry.
Once per round, when you hit your quarry with an attack, the attack deals extra damage based on your level. If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled. If you have dealt Hunter’s Quarry damage since the start of your turn, you cannot deal it again until the start of your next turn.
The hunter’s quarry effect remains active until the end of the encounter, until the quarry is defeated, or until you designate a different target as your quarry.
You can designate one enemy as your quarry at a time.
Level Hunter’s Quarry Extra Damage
1st–10th +1d6
With Akarr besides him, Thud feels invigorated and renewed in his hated for these jerks. The runes of Moradin on his hammer glow as Thud tries to brand the Drake, but it deftly ducks its head, and Thud's blow misses.
"Aw, rocks."
Minor Action: Healing Word on Mindartis Residue can spend a healing surge and get an extra 4 + 1d6 HP
Move Action: -
Standard Action: Righteous Brand on Drake C = 10 MISS!!!

Aieldar shifts his focus from the Drake to the Goblin that has been drawing his ire with the explosive vials.
Carrying his bow one handed, he leaps across the gap to the platform previously occupied by the now fallen goblin, draws a bead and lets fly with a shaft which sinks into the goblin's leg crippling it. With lightning speed he withdraws another arrow and strikes it's shoulder this time.
Minor action: Hunter's Quarry on Bombardier A.
Standard action: Hunter's Bear Trap on Bombardier A.
Attack roll: 1d20+11 vs AC = 17. Hit!
Damage roll: 2d10+5 = 14 +1d8 (Hunter's Quarry) = 16 altogether. The goblin is slowed and ongoing 5 damage. (Save ends)
Action point!
Standard action: Careful Shot on Bombardier A.
Attack roll: 1d20+12 vs AC = 25. Hit!
Damage roll: 1d10+5 = 13.
To his left the groggy goblin stands back up, delighted to be within range of it's foe with no bombs at it's side. Hefting it's pick in one hand it lashes out with it's pick but Nex easily pushes away the clumsy blow.
Standard action: Charge at Nex.
Attack roll: 1d20+11 vs AC = 20. Hit.
Damage roll: 1d10+4 = 12.
Goblin Bombardier B
Movement action: Stand Up
Standard action: Attack with the pickaxe.
Attack roll: 1d20+9 = 12. Miss.
The goblin engaged by Aieldar puts it's weight on it's other leg, trying to alleviate the pain of the arrow shaft sunk deep into it's leg. Stumbling back to the rocks at the edge of the room, it readies it's final flask to throw at the elf before attempting to stem the flow. Aieldar is ready for this however and as it fumbles with the stopper looses another arrow directly into it's head, causing the flask to drop to the floor and explode upon the goblin's corpse.
Start of it's turn it takes 5 ongoing damage from Hunter's Bear Trap.
Movement action: Move to F11. (Slowed)
Standard action: Alchemist's Fire at F8.
Attack roll: 1d20+8 vs AC = 16.
Immediate interrupt from Aieldar:
Disrupting Strike: When you or an ally is attacked by a creature make a Dex vs AC attack. On hit 1[W]+Dex damage and target takes a penalty to it's attack roll equal to 3+Wis modifier (-6)
Attack roll: 1d20+10 vs AC = 22. Hit.
Damage roll: 1d10+5 = 13.
Goblin Bombardier A dies.
The drake reels from Samhradh's thunderous blow, streams of thick dark blood run down it's sides from the many cuts it has received but rallies and bites down hard on his arm with the crunch of yielding metal.
Standard action: Bite Samhradh.
Attack roll: 1d20+10 = 30. Crit!
Damage roll: 1d10+4 = 14.
Ignore the top Bombardier on the map, he's dead but I'd already saved the map.

Minor Action: -
Move Action: Shift to G3 for some flanking...
Standard Action: Avenging Flame = CRIT!!!!! for 27 + 6 = 33 pts of Damage
The drake takes ongoing 5 points of fire damage, and if the drake attacks on its turn, it cannot save against the ongoing damage. Fucker.
Critting on my daily is soooooo satisfying.

The blade connects only with mild satisfaction along the scaly flank, but Akarr swings his shield and smashes one of the beast's legs, mangling it with the sound of shattering bones as the Drake collapses with a howling roar.

"I was expecting a lot more from that." mutters the Eladrin, looking a bit perplexed.
Move action: Move to G4.
Standard: Force Orb at Bombardier
Force Orb vs Reflex /w wand: HIT! with a dieroll of 19 I feel I deserved a crit on that since 2d8+5 gives 8 force fucking damage. Bloody hell. Rolling secondary attack on drake.
Force Orb vs Reflex, secondary attack: Hit for 11 force damage.
Turning down to the last enemy Goblin, Nex shouts, "Hey Goblin! Not sure you realized this, but you are out of bombs, and we are not!" He then makes an obscene gesture made possible only through the shifting anatomy of the Changeling race.
