[Melblen_Cairn]

Gamesh falls deeper into unconsciousness. He will need help soon if he hopes to survive long.

Theo's blast of lightning blasts away the remaining drakes on the left side of the room, scattering some the skitter for hiding among the alcoves in the darkness along the walls.

Søffå regains his footing and moves to confront the remaining swarm.

(click to show/hide)

Move to stand, move to front swarm.  Minor to use my aegis against this enemy if he is not already tagged.  Don't think there is more I can do except try to keep him off of the wounded. 

[Melblen_Cairn]

The swarm hisses and snap at the runes that leap around them as the tall human aggressively approaches. They leap at the swordmage, trying to bare Søffå to the ground as they bite at his legs and ankles while leaping onto his upper body. With so many swarming him Søffå he eventually stumbles and lands hard on his knees. More pile on once he falls but again most of their bites are hindered by his protective magics and his sturdy leathers.

Minor Action = Pull down on Søffå [vs. FORT] (1d20+7=14)

{Move} Move to E8.
{Standard} Attack with Weight of Earth.
Attack: 1d20(12)+6=18
Damage: 1d10(5)+4=9 damage, target is slowed until end of my next turn and takes 3 bonus damage for a total of 12 damage.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Several drakes fall under the assault the rest are hindered further by tendrils of earth that spring forth from the cracks between the stones.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Round 4 Results!

Atanos rushes in, careful to avoid the drakes hopping around sparks still going off in their midst. Grabbing the dragonborn by the arm the cleric drags the heavy warrior out of the runes and away from the drakes kicking a few out of the way that come too close to his fallen charge.

The area around him finally safe for a moment, Dalanath takes a quick breather to center himself as he readies to face the drakes once again.

Gamesh falls deeper into unconsciousness. He will need help soon if he hopes to survive long.

Advancing so that he can see his opponents, Thespias electrical attack this time hits home. Theo's blast of lightning blasts away the remaining drakes on the left side of the room, scattering some the skitter for hiding among the alcoves in the darkness along the walls.

Søffå regains his footing and moves to confront the remaining swarm.

Atanos begins working over Gamesh's wounds using salves from his pouch rather than calling upon his god granted powers. Then waving a small sachet under the dragonborn's snout for a moment awakens him with a start.

Standard Action = Heal Check (1d20+9=17)
This restores Gamesh to consciousness at 0 hitpoints and the hitpoints from the second wind restore 12 for Gamesh.

Move to E8.

Acrobatic Strike

Attack vs AC 1d20+9 : 3 + 9, total 12

Damage 1d4+5 : 4 + 5, total 9

As part of Acrobatic Strike, shift to F8 after attack is finished.

[Melblen_Cairn]

The cutting blade scatters the remaining drakes briefly but the skitter forwards again in a surge. Dalanath steps into a dark corner of the room.

15 to hit the Drake Swarms Ref, 9 damage if it hits.
I doubt I can arc the residual 4 damage since I can't see the two hidden attackers.

[Melblen_Cairn]

The remaining drakes that do not take the brunt of Theo's electrical attacks scatters and hide amongst the darker recesses of the room or race down the stairs into the darkness behind the group. There has been no further sign of the additional attackers that were striking from hiding beyond the doors.

If you want to go this round you may. Will just have Thespias' attack kill off the drakes. You can pursue the hidden attackers or take your short rest.

[Melblen_Cairn]

With the hoard of drakes broken and after a moment, realizing that those that struck from hiding may have moved on, you find you have a few minutes to breathe while minding the doors. Now that the fighting it over you now take in more of the room. The retrieved torch reveals more. Oddly the alcoves within chambers walls are all empty, with the exception of debris and detritus making up numerous nests. In some of which hide the few drakes that ran from you.

Atanos works on each of you, calling on his god's divinity to heal the deep puncture wounds, lashing cuts, and burn injuries.

(click to show/hide)

Not long after Atanos finished his work, you hear sounds from beyond the closed doors, naturally muffled by the barrier.
"Ye son o' a gobbo whore's shite hole! Be takin' more than knockin' me out ta be shuttin me mouth.". a gravelly but clearly dwarven voice shouts.

Xer, cut his tongue out, those invaders will hears us! a goblin voice threatens and several dull thump can heard each followed by a groan.

(click to show/hide)

That constitutes a short rest. I put almost everyone back to full. Soff'a I left 1 HP down since that is a little much to spend a heal surge on just 1 hit point. Everyone gains back encounter powers. Plus this is a milestone so everyone gains an AP as wel as an additional use of a daily magic item power (though no one has any just yet)

[VennDygrem]

As the group finishes resting and the cleric puts his healing kit away, Dunor holds his hand up to the group, then gestures toward the door. He had picked up a few minor habits from the Elf during their journey, despite how brief their travels have been, and he had learned how better to perceive his surroundings. His mind momentarily clear, he could hear something just beyond the door. He checks to make sure his group is ready and armed, then launches toward the door, hoping to catch the creatures by surprise. Or, at the very least, give them quite a nasty shock...

(click to show/hide)

My passive perception is normally only 16, but with Atanos in the group, the elf's Group Awareness buffs that up to the necessary 17. Whoo!

Dunor, however, isn't remotely stealthy, so he's going to launch into action and get as close to the goblins as he can. Hopefully he can save the Dwarf.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Slamming through the door, you see the briefest of torchlight in a dark space get suddenly put out with a hiss, plunging the room beyond into darkness, leaving the light from Søffå's torch illuminating some of the hall beyond the door. You can hear the tinkling of water splashing into a pool or fountain.

"Ah, yer done for now, ye little shites!" which is answered with another thud.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Søffå and Atanos follow to keep up with the group. The darkness slowly bleeds away from the torch carried by the tall swordmage. The very edge of the flickering light reveals a low fountain in the room.

[Melblen_Cairn]

As the rest of the group files through the door and Dunor begins to round the corner a Goblin voice comes from the darkness deeper in the room, "Stop right there or we shoots the Dorf."

Another voices whispers loudly from over near the fountain area still masked in dark, "Rhor A dakuul tuur mel khruul."

"Khruun, daan khraal mel duun her okhuul maagaan." the first voice whispers back.

I am making the assumption that Theo and Dalanath have moved with the group and are at the back of the party. Will update the map with their new positions.
