    As the macetail locked in combat with his companions was pushed away by the force of Arnu's attack, Bobo roars and lashes out and strikes at the beast.

    (Spirit's Shield, triggered by the Macetail leaving the square adjacent to Bobo without shifting.)
    attack roll: 1d20+12 → [18,12] = (30) vs reflex, 8 damage, and one ally within 5 squares (Brunei) regains 6 hit points.
    Further spurned by the macetail's onslaught against Brunei, Bruin leaps into action. Pushing past his allies, Bobo moves into combat between the two monsters (to V-15, moving through allies to not provoke opportunity attacks) and then lets loose a primal, ancient roar, shimmering and appearing to channel the force of a great ancestral force of nature. Unleashing this force upon the northernmost macetail (unless, of course, the attack before killed it, in which case it would attack the southern one), Bobo drives his vicious claws deep into its flesh in an attack so savage it bolsters the mettle of the allies nearest him.
    Call to the Ancestral Warrior encounter power
    Attack roll: 1d20+12; → [11,12] = (23) vs reflex
    Damage Roll: 1d10+8 → [8,8] = (16)


    If hit, allies adjacent to Bobo get +2 power bonus to all defenses.

    Proud of his handiwork, Bruin calls upon one last spirit, seemingly as an afterthought. With a word, Brunei's wounds seem to mend themselves by a miracle, and Diggin is refreshed as well.
    Minor action - Healing Spirit encounter power, Brunei gets to spend a healing surge, and Diggin, adjacent to Bobo, is healed for 2d6 (2d6 → [6,3] = (9)) hp

    "Not bad for a day's work, eh lads? That's how you keep these twats from pinching our liquor!"

    edit: oh crap, didn't see that push in time. Uh... well, I'll let you figure out how to rule on that, Quetzi.

    Unfortunately, Rank. I don't think being pushed or pulled gives opportunity attacks.

    From what i remember forced movements of any kind don't cause Attacks of opportunity unless noted otherwise.

    It's not an opportunity attack per se

    it's an at will interrupt that specifically is triggered by "An enemy leaves a square adjacent to your
    spirit companion without shifting"

    Bobo's surprise assault catches the macetail right at its weakpoint, unleashing a torrent of fresh blood and a savage howl from the beast, which slumps to the floor, dead. His second attack slams in to the second macetail, opening it up at the side as the allies near him are bolstered and healed.

    All of a sudden, everyone hears a loud thumping sound coming from the corner of the room. The sound appears to be coming out of a barrel of ale, which suddenly bursts open, unleashing a small flood of ale and a rather soggy dwarf, armed with a large crossbow which he apparently had been slamming against the sides of the barrel to extricate himself.

    Fuck that guy. Back to the dwarves.



    Darkrock looks moist and upset, glaring at the party of dwarves and hobgoblins. He deftly slides along the wall (to Y-20, avoiding provoking) and seems to, as if by magic, load and fire his cross bow.

    Cloud of Steel
    Burst 5, capturing both hobgoblins and the macetail. Roll to-hit on each. [dice+modifier+combat advantage] 16+9+2=27 13+9+2=24 18+9+2=29

    damage roll 1d8 + 8 + 1d6 = 6+8+6 = 20 points to each target [dice+modifier+combat advantage]

    The explosive blast of the crossbow from the surprise dwarf catches all three of the enemy combatants off guard. They turn to face him just in time to get a face full of fine dwarven steel, ripping great big holes in each of them. The center hobgoblin, while injured, appears fairly unphased by this assault, but the macetail and the other hobgoblin are both looking rather ragged and bloodied.

    Graniton looks around the room quickly muttering himself "The hell do these things keep coming from?"

    Then he dashes a bit towards the lone hobgoblin (to x13 avoiding difficult terrain) then uses his curses the goblinoid, then uses Eldritch blast.

    17+11=28 vs reflex
    unless there is some outside bonus I'm not remembering.

    If that hits he takes 8+7 from the attack then 1 from curse.

    Graniton's blast of arcane power goes straight through the goblin, leaving a gaping burning hole in him as he crumples to the ground, another body to add to the pile.

    Brunei quickly maneuvers himself to behind the three remaining combatants, swinging at the macetail and catching one of the hobgoblins with the follow through before the third can put up a block. The central hobgoblin, shocked and bloodied by the force of the blow, reacts immediately, retreating from Brunei and unleashing a poisoned dart at him, which flies past his face and clatters to the ground harmlessly behind him. Just then, a pair of sword wielding hobgoblins come down the hall you entered by, marching up to the door, one of them swinging his sword into Bruin, but missing by a head, chipping into the doorframe instead. The glaive wielding goblin standing next to Brunei then swings his weapon, supported by the one behind him, but lands a blow against the stony floor, while the other hobgoblin shifts towards his macetail servant, swinging his glaive wildly at Brunei and Darkrock both, and landing a quick hit upon Brunei with his glaive, knocking him off balance and pushing him back towards his allies, although his dwarven surefootedness manages to prevent him from crashing into them.

    Notes: 9 damage to Brunei.

    Arnu bellowed low like thunder, and the pipes and shattered remains of distilling equipment in the brewery began to spark furiously.

    "Take Courage, and show 'em what your right arm is for, lads!"

    Lightning poured forth from the spigot of a cracked tank, bathing the macetail and nearby hobgoblin in the cold-filtered fury of Nifbludheim.
    Time for some Divine Bolts on them Hobgoblins

    vs. Macetail 16 + 10 + 1 (resonating covenant = 27 vs reflex
    vs. nearest Hobgoblin 8 + 10 = 18 vs reflex

    Damage = 1d6 + 6 + 2 (two targets, covenant of wrath), 6+8=14 lightning damage

    i should know better than to use real dice... somebody better make good use of arse's sunder armor on that macetail!

    also Courage may have the best beer slogan in history. Unless you count Colt 45 as beer.

    Diggin leaps into action, driving his weapon into the tough armor plating of the macetail. He hits, sinking in, and then pulls a great section of the armor off, hard bony plating revealing bloody flesh underneath. This all seems to be rather too much for the macetail, who roars in anguish and tries to move to continue to fight before slumping to the ground, defeated.

    Notes: it had exactly 11 hp left. And Arnu, if you want to redo your turn, feel free to do so, because, well, this changes things.

    Arnu focuses his energy on the two remaining hobgoblins in the room, sending a pair of divine bolts hurtling their way. The first bolt hits its mark with ease, the goblinoid recoiling in pain, while the second hobgoblin quickly ducks out of the way, a frosty brew bolt shattering against the wall of the storage room.

    Bruin shifts out of the doorway to V15, and Bobo dashes over to confront the hobgoblins, moving to T15.

    With that, Bobo lashes out and attacjs the hobgoblin immediately in front of him, biting and clawing furiously.

    As Bruin steps aside, the charging bear spirit manages to get the drop on the hobgoblin, proceeding shortly to rend him limb from limb, leaving a sticky hobgoblin mess to occupy to the doorway.
