Everyone wakes up immediately at the sound of clanging metal. The prisoners find themselves in some sort of jail cell, and they see some sort of guard whacking each bar of the jail doors with some sort of rod.
"Ah, good to see that you're all finally awake." He says to all of you.
"I just got word from the big man himself, and he is sending down the best meals he has to offer. And once you're done, you'll be escorted to where you'll all be killed off." As the guard says that last part, he lets out a sinister grin, revealing his silver tooth.
He lets out a short chuckle as he leaves you to feel hopeless of your doom to come.

"Hey, tell the chef I like my steak rare!" Keegan shouts at the silver-toothed warden. then he turns to his cellmates. "
"Well, guys,
my name is Keegan and I'm not about to let some prison slop be my last meal. So let's get out of here."
He then turns towards the cell bars and starts looking at how they're fit into the ground and ceiling.

Morlond looks around himself, trying to remember how he got in this situation again.
*sigh* Me name is Morlond, of the Duereft clan. I am going to hit that silver tooth right out o' his ugly face.
He says in a grim tone. While trying to find a week spot in the bars or in the walls.

Upon waking, Birrel begins to look around the cell but he doesn't bother to stand or really even move as his head clears. His body knows this situation all too well and knows even better the price quick movements and over-exertion.
From the nearby cells, Birrel hears a couple of men proclaim their names and address the guard.
They call me Birrel Duskwalker.
Figuring that there is no point in worrying about what is to come or threatening a man on the other side of iron bars, Birrel shouts down to the guard.
I'll take that meal. No point in letting it go to waste.
With that, he closes his eyes and waits for his head to clear completely.

"Ungarat," comes an angry voice from the back of one of the cells. A moment later, the sound of metal being struck rings through the dungeon. Through the bars of Ungarat's cell, shadowy claws can be seen.
Ungarat will enter his beast form and use Grasping Claws on the lock. He will continue to do this until something causes him to stop.
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

"What. The. Hell." John blinks several times to try to get a look of his surroundings. He becomes cognizant of what the guard said, and looks at all the prisoners sharing his cell.
"The name's John. How did I get here?"

As the prisoners introduce themselves to each other, the dwarf druid who briefly introduced himself as Ungarat, with such rage he manages to break the lock of his prison cell. With the lock mechanism broken, the cell door swings open.
"What was that?" A familiar voice said from down the hall.
"I don't know....." Another voice answers from the same direction.
"THEN GO FIND OUT WHAT IS, NOW!!" The silver-toothed guard screamed with fury.
A second later, a pair of goblins rush into the scene, both armed with spears.
Goblins at D7 and D8
@ Birrel Dustwalker: At first glance, you don't seem to see any weak spots that could help you escape.
As the goblins enter, Keegan's eyes seem to light it. A slow smile spreads on his face. Never taking his eyes of the goblins, he says "Now, guys, it seems we're in for either satay, fondue or some rotisserie. Either way, it's going to heat up real fast in here."
Keegan prepares to use chromatic bolt on whichever goblin comes closer first.
Speaking of chromatic bolt, I still need to roll for my current elemental affinity. [roll0]
EDIT: ehm, that's Acid....that's also warm to hot, right? :smallredface:

John looks at the gnome as he threatens the goblins.
"Hey, you give them one for me, too." John then gets into a better position to attack.
Moving to C4.

Hearing the approaching goblins and the sounds of the other men in the cells preparing for battle, Birrel rises from his position on the floor and begins to contemplate the lock on his cell door and what he will do to the goblins if they make it into his range.
If I can attack the lock on my cell with a lance of faith, I would like to do so.
Just in case...
attack: [roll0]
damage: [roll1]
If I can't, I'd like to delay my action until the goblins come into my range.

In an instant, Ungarat reverts to his dwarf form. As the goblins run down the stairs, he bursts out of his cell, and the would-be investigators are buffeted by freezing winds.
Ungarat will take a five-foot step out of the cell; if possible, he'll move diagonally, so as to give Keegan a clear shot. Although, if I am in the way, I think he can just shout at me to duck or something, right?
Ungarat casts Chill Wind on the goblins. If it hits, he'll want to slide a goblin into Keegan's line of fire, and if he gets them both, he'll move the other one backwards.
Attack (vs. Fort): [roll0]
Cold Damage (to both goblins, assuming they're both in the burst): [roll1]
EDIT: ehm, that's Acid....that's also warm to hot, right? :smallredface:
Ceviche!

As soon as he sees the dwarven magic-wielder break the bars, Morlond begins to work on his own bars, muttering under his breath:
If he can do this, me should as well.
Attack the bars:

Round 1
The elven cleric fires as much divine power as he can gather at the lock of his door, only to create a small dent in the back of the lock, which doesn't seem to have any effect on the mechanisms.
One of the goblins manage to reach the middle cell, only to have the human warlord bark a command at the gnome, which startles the little guy to punch the goblin.
Attack:
Damage: [roll1]
In response, the slightly goblin pokes the spearhead at the gnome.
"Ha! You missed!" It taunts.
Attack:[roll2]
Damage: [roll3]
After coming to his senses, the gnome responds by launching a chromatic bolt at the goblin that poked its spear at him.
Attack: [roll4]
Damage: [roll]1d8+4 And the other goblin loses 1 hit point.
The other goblin switches its spear with one of its javelins, and stands ready for any prisoners that come out of their cells.
"Don't get any funny ideas you prison filth!" It yells at all the prisoners.
Goblin 1 readying an action to throw a javelin at anybody who comes into column D
The other dwarf bangs against the bars, only to make a a dent on one of the bars.
The dwarf druid runs past the gnome and the goblin with the spear, only to have the other goblin with the javelin throw it at him.
Attack: [roll5]
Damage: [roll6]
The druid thanks the goblin for the javelin with chill wind, only to miss.

Upon seeing that the lock remains intact, Birrel grows annoyed with the possibility that the Raven Queen would give him the power to wipe the walking dead from the earth but not the power to remove simple locks.
With this frustration in mind, he lashes out at the lock with another lance of fate.
attack: [roll0]
damage: [roll1]

John notices the discrepancy in the gnomes punch compared to his spell, and glances down at himself, then back at the goblin.
John mutters to himself, "This is a bad idea", before lashing out at the goblin, attempting to draw its attention to him.
"When he takes the bait, blast him!" shouts John to the gnome.
Standard Action to use Brash Assault. [roll0] vs. AC for [roll1] damage. In addition, the goblin gets a free action MBA against me, with Combat Advantage. If the goblin chooses to make the attack, Pepz gets a basic attack(melee or ranged), against the goblin, also with CA.

Round 2 (Part 1)
With one more attempt, the elven cleric finally manages to make a hole in the lock, causing the mechanism to unlock and the door slowly swings open.
"The prisoners are breaking out!" The goblin calls out to the end of the hallway as he pokes the human with its spear.
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
Inspired by the human's brazen attack on the goblin, Keegan calls his pact-masters to really incur some damage on the wretched creature
Ranged Basic Attack (Eldritch Blast) : vs Ref
Damage [roll1]
"You're right we're breaking out. And if you don't get out of our way, we'll just go through you!" he screams.
"Now. Let. Us. Out!"
Keegan uses places his Warlock's Curse on the nearest goblin, then blasts him with a Dreadful Word. [roll2] vs Will.
Damage [roll3] and -1 will until the end of his next turn.
Oh, and [roll]1d6 from that Warlock's Curse.

As Morlond sees the fight take place, he is more than eager to join, but he is still blocked behind the bars. Frustrated even more than before by this, he makes a new attempt at breaking them.
Breaking stuff: [roll0]
Drakeburn
2013-10-22, 02:39 PM
Round 2 (Part 2)
The goblin at the 2nd cell was too late to realize the price of underestimating the unarmed prisoners, and fell unconscious.
With one mighty attempt, the other dwarf, Morlond manages to make the hinges of the prison door break, having the door collapse onto the prison floor.
The remaining goblin draws back its spear, and steps back 15 ft (3 spaces).
"S..St.... Stand back...." The goblin stutters.
"I'm wa.... warning you..."
Goblin Warrior readies an action to attack at the nearest prisoner that approaches him.

Ungarat laughs and steps forward. "Ye're warning me? The dwarf tha' just freed himself with naught but claws?" The druid lets out a guttural cry, and crystals of ice form around the goblin's feet as the heat is drained out of him.
Rolls, OOC:Sorry for the delay. Ungarat gets within 10 feet of the goblin then uses Frost Flash on the remaining goblin.
Attack (Wis vs. Fort): [roll0]
Damage (Cold): [roll1]
If this hits but doesn't kill, our friend with the spear is immobilized until the end of Ungarat's next turn.

2013-10-23, 07:51 PM
Round 3
The goblin lets out a shriek as its feet become frozen solid to the floor.
"Will you two go check on the others?" The human guard groaned.
"If you say so..." Another voice replied.
Shortly after, another goblin runs into the scene, armed with a short sword.
"What is going on here?!" It shouts as it runs past the goblin with the spear and swings its sword against the dwarven druid.
Attack: [roll0] Vs. AC
Damage: [roll1]

Realizing that he is both free and not doing anything, Birrel decides that now is as good as anytime to spring into action.
Lacking anything more witty to say in the circumstance, Birrel shouts, Here goes nothin!
With that, he barrels out of the cell into range of the unfortunate goblins.
Birrel will move from B2 out to D2 (or whatever space puts him in range) and attempt to send a lance of faith at the nearest goblin.
Attack: [roll0] vs. Reflex
Damage: [roll1]

2013-10-24, 03:24 PM
John grits his teeth from the wounds, but says to himself "Hey, at least it worked."
He then pushes out into the open hallway, briefly stopping to pick up the fallen goblin's spear, which he then holds out in front of him and rushes down the hallway, ducking into a sideroom to avoid cramped conditions.
"You just left yourself wide open, greenskin! And now, I'm armed!"
Move to C7
Minor to pick up spear.
Drakeburn
2013-10-25, 05:51 PM
Round 3 (Part 2)
As the elven cleric hits the goblin with the sword with a lance of faith, another goblin with a short sword comes into the scene, only to be cramped in the hall behind the other goblins.
"What are you waiting for? KILL THEM!" The goblin yells at the other goblins.
2nd goblin blackblade at D12
Keegan looks down at the unconscious goblin. "I told you to get out of the way."
He steps over the prone body and looks at the row of goblins in the entrance of the room. "Stay still, little gobbos, it'll make this that much easier!" he shouts and throws another bolt of acid.
Minor action: Warlock's Curse on closest goblin. (Possibly the one frozen near D12?)
Standard Action: Chromatic Bolt on the same goblin:
[roll0] Cha vs Ref
[roll1] plus 1d6 from the Curse [roll2]
Move action: Move to be one square away from the nearest goblin. Assuming this is D12, it would be D10.

2013-11-01, 04:45 PM
Round 3 (Part 3)
The goblin with the spear swaps it for one of it's javelins, and throws it at the dwarven druid. "Help me!" It screams as it tries to free itself from the ice.
Attack: [roll0] Vs. AC
Damage: [roll1]

Morlond walks towards the goblin in the ice:
Me be happy to help!
he shouts as he hits at the goblin.

Ungarat's eyes narrow. "Ye'll regret tha'," he mutters as he pulls the javelin from his flesh and looses another blast of freezing wind at the goblins.
Ungarat takes a 5-foot step backwards to avoid AoOs. I believe that's a move action; if so, he spends a healing surge as a minor action (go dwarves!) and uses chill wind again.
There are three conscious goblins, right? I believe that if I want to push any of them, it will be the two in the back who are in the burst. Whichever way, Ungarat is sure to not hit Morlond, though I unfortunately have no idea where he's standing.
Chill Wind (Wis vs. Fort): [roll0]
Damage (cold): [roll1]
EDIT: Eh, I suppose it doesn't matter too much since the attack whiffs.
Drakeburn
2013-11-12, 01:14 PM
Round 4
The Goblin Blackblade, struggling to remain conscious, decides to run for it.
"You're on your own!" It tells the others as it switches places with the goblin warrior and runs past the other goblin blackblade.
Goblin Blackblade and Goblin Warrior shift places with each other, then runs past the other Goblin Blackblade.

From his place towards the back of the fight, Birrel sees one of the goblin run away from the fight.
Looks like we've got them on the run, he say to no one in particular.
With that he sends another lance of faith towards the nearest goblin.
attack: [roll0] vs reflex
damage: [roll1]
aimed at whatever goblin happens to be in range...

2013-11-23, 04:32 PM
John watches as the goblin retreats, opening up more room for the battle. He dashes in behind the spear wielding goblin, and motions from behind it for one of the other prisoners to come in close. He then aims a strike for its back, hoping to at least distract it...
Move to D8
Intuitive Strike: [roll0] vs. Will
Damage: [roll1]
If it hits, until the start of my next turn, any ally with Combat Advantage against the goblin gets a +3 to the attack roll, instead of +2.

2013-12-05, 11:36 AM
Round 4 (Part 2)
With so much pain delivered from so many prisoners, the goblin with the spear falls to the floor, dead as a goblin can get.
The goblin with the sword is looking around for options, when suddenly he hears a loud snap from the other room, and footsteps.
"MOVE!" The silver-toothed guard barks at the goblin, making it immediately obey.
"I was going to give you your last meals. But now you'll have to settle with your last words!" He says as he points his rod at the human warlord.
Moves up to D9 and attacks the human warlord.
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]
"Silvertooth" enters D12, places a Warlock's Curse on John, and hits him with a Hellish Rebuke.
Attack: [roll2]
Damage: [roll3]
Warlock's Curse: [roll4]
The first time "Silvertooth" takes damage before his next turn, the target takes 1d6+4 fire damage.
Not even five minutes ago, Keegan was still sound asleep. Now, in the chaos of battle, with goblins falling around him and the other prisoners fighting for their lives, he focuses on the silver toothed bandit.
"Last words? I'll do you even better, old man, I'm going to make we'll have the last... laugh!"
Keegan places his Warlock's Curse on Silvertooth, then blasts him with his chromatic bolt.
[roll0]
This does [roll1] plus [roll2] damage
