forgot the +1 for the charge attack but would make little difference.

[Shadowhunter]

Seeing Dunor getting charged by a trio of nasty critters, Thespias quickly advance and let loose a bolt of lightning to aid his comrade.

5 diagonal moves and 1 moves up should put me in the same column as the Kruthiks with exactly enough range to reach the closest one.
Lightning Strike towards the nearest Kruthik Young, misserable miss at a total of 6 vs Reflex. Damage doesn't matter.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Fzzzzzzzttt!
Lightning erupts from Theo but the magic is difficult to control and the blast sizzles wide slamming into the hillside and rebounds into the air. Ozone is thick in the air.

Seeing Dunor having everything in hand for now Atanos moves to AE 18 and cast devine fortune +1 on my next attack and raises is scythe in the air

[Melblen_Cairn]

Søffå closes the distance quickly but as he nears the focus of his charge, the ground begins to crack and give way under his footfalls and suddenly crumbles out from beneath him.

Need a Saving through for Søffå to keep from falling into a pit. This is simply a d20. 10 or more and you keep from falling in and are at X15. 9 or under and you fall in taking Damage from fall (1d10=8) and you will be prone at W15

Patches of ground are weaker in this area. To identify the patches roll a Perception (minor action) or Dungeoneering (minor action) to attempt to spot the cracks or identify where the ground is weakest and could give way respectively.

Entering a squared of Weakened Ground may cause you to fall in. Roll a Save. 9 or less and you fall 10 feet for 1d10 damage. To climb out again it takes a Athletics check DC =15.

[Melblen_Cairn]

"Søffå!" Everyn shouts seeing his friend pitching forward with the ground giving way under him. Conjuring a silvery missile that streaks off with a whistling sound toward the nearby Kruthik as he runs to his friends aid. The bolt slams into the ground well before his target.

Everyn doesn't make it very far, when the ground under his own feet gives way and he disappears, swallowed up by the ground. "WohAahH!" Thud!

(click to show/hide)

Standard Action = Magic Missile on Kruthik Adult's [Int vs. Ref] (1d20+5=7, 2d4+5=10)
Move toward Søffå but when he gets to AA9 a falls through the weakened ground. Falling Damage (1d10=8)

[Melblen_Cairn]

The first Kruthik adult moves toward where Everyn fell into the ground. Peerign over the side it angles its legs and body slightly toward the prone wizard and several bony spikes on it's chitinous armor spew forth and imbed into the Eladrin's flesh. Poison begins pumping through Everyn's veins. He cries out at the burning pain.

(click to show/hide)

Move Action = move to Y9
Standard Action = Toxic Spikes on Everyn [vs. AC] (1d20+7=18, 1d8+4=7)
Everyn also has an ongoing 5 poison damage and is slowed (save ends both)

The other larger Kruthik moves around the back of it younger kin. Angling it's bony plates the toxic spikes shoot from it's body toward Dalanath and Dunor.

Move Action = Y21
Standard Action = Toxic Spikes on Dalanath (1st rolls) and Dunor (2nd rolls) [vs. AC] (1d20+7=27, 1d8+4=11, 1d20+7=9, 1d8+4=7). Natural 20 on Dalanath so it is 12 damage instead of 11.
On a hit character also has 5 ongoing damage and is slowed.

[VennDygrem]

Dunor swings his hammer at the younger creatures, trying to smash through them on his way to the bigger threat.

Free action: mark all adjacent enemies w/ Nature's Wrath

Standard: Attack Y19 with Tempest Assault
1d20(13)+6=19 (accidentally added an extra +1 in the roll, reduced here as appropriate)
1d10(2)+4=6 damage and deal 3 thunder damage to creature in X19

If they're minions and I kill them, I'll shift into Y19. If not, I'll stay where I am.

Your eyes adjust to the dimmer light of a small cave carved underground with two tunnels leading off of it. One is dark the other is brightened and shows a similar cave when you see Everyn collapse through and fall to the ground. You hear his cry when he is pierced by a volley of bony spikes from above.

In seconds the tunnels rebound with the sound of clicking and hisses, chitinous clacking on the stone.

The climb does not look too difficult if you were to attempt it.

[Melblen_Cairn]

The Kruthiks are a frenzy of bony claws and spikes its difficult to stay in their general vicinity without getting injured

You take 2 damage for ending your turn in their Gnashing Horde Aura

The first of the Kruthik young injured by Dunor retaliates with bony claws.

Meanwhile under the ground...

Everyn collapsed through the ground and lands in a cave among several smaller Kuthiks. With several hisses and clicks they leap on the wizard. A few others appear in the tunnel and make their way toward Søffå's prone form.

5 Kruthik Hatchling Attacks on Everyn [vs. AC] (1d20+5=18, 1d20+5=24, 1d20+5=10, 1d20+5=6, 1d20+5=24) 3 hit for 4 damage each.

Three of the hatchlings when they get close to Søffå they leap to the attack.

3 Kruthik Hatchling Attacks on Søffå [vs. AC] (1d20+5=10, 1d20+5=20, 1d20+5=21) 2 hit for 4 damage each. I forgot to add the +2 to hit in for their combat advantage while your prone when I set the rolls up so that second roll is a 22 and the third is 23.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Everyn thrashes under the onslaught but soon lays motionless as the Hatchlings continue tearing at him.

-6 HP's for Everyn.
He is now Slowed, Prone, Unconcious, Dying, and taking an ongoing 5 poison damage.
Next round will begin hisdeath saves though with the ongoing damage and the kruthiks he won't last very long.
Moment of silence for the Eladrin Wizard.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Dunor's hammer lands a solid blow on one of the young and the resounding thunder rattles the Kruthik next to it.
