Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Drang is only +8, so I didn't read the DC29 spoiler. But wow this screams trap.
To Melhved, in dwarven, "you speak the tongue? I didn't expect that. This seems really dangerous."
In common, "Without speaking to anyone else? What's that about? The halfling wasn't doing any work anyway, right?" Big smile. Massive diplomacy check.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
The gnome moves forwards to cut you off well before you reach it. "If you let me show you around I'm sure you'll see those clues in the process. Who are you looking for?"
"He's actually doing the most important work of all - looking for distractions both inside and outside of the crater, and ensuring they don't get out of hand. If you stick around too long he might have to demonstrate what that looks like." The gnome's words line up with the halfling's actions, as he's started watching you closely.Link to true signature

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
"Unfortunately, I'm under too much time pressure to give you the luxury of civility."
He hastily tucks the amulet he's wearing into his armor, then replies "Something of no concern to you, that will remain hidden for that exact reason." After turning to the rest of the group, he continues "This is my last warning. Accept a guided tour, leave calmly, or be removed by force."
Spoiler: For ReganAs he tucked the amulet into his armor, you got a better look at it. Douven brought a health-preserving magical amulet with him on his trip to Winterhaven that looks just like the one around the gnome's neck. Despite this, you've never seen the gnome before.

Feigning loss of interest, Melhved shrugs and says, "Whatever needs to be done to satisfy my friends. My concerns are elsewhere." As she turns to walk back a piece, he looks hard at Regan, then glances meaningfully at the top of the crater.

Spoiler: OOCThe cliffs are shallow enough that you could slide down them fairly easily, but steep enough that climbing back up would take effort. Specifically, sliding down requires no extra movement, but climbing back up requires a DC 15 Athletics check and halves your speed.Link to true signature

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
As Regan and Sarathi begin to advance, the gnome attempts to interrupt them, saying "Only one person's supposed to be -".
Before he finishes the sentence, you hear an unintelligible voice from beneath the blanket. The humanoid form beneath it seems to have moved to a more upright stance.
This seems to have completely redirected the gnome's train of thought. "Ah, must have let the gag go slack. There's no way a simple tour's gonna placate you now, though." He pulls out a crossbow and fires it as Regan, but misses. Pointing to Sarathi, he continues "Charge him! We can finish packing up later!"
The guard reptiles are the first to follow his command, landing vicious blows that knock Sarathi unconscious. With nothing to support him, he falls to the floor.
Seeing the closest target go down, the workers begin charging the next closest one - Regan. She deftly evades most of their attacks, but one still manages to get through. On the other side of the crater, the halfling pulls out a sling and moves closer to the ensuing commotion. He launches multiple sling bullets to make up for the distance between him and his target. One of them strikes Regan, while the other two miss.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Hoping to get the minions off of Regan so she can start shooting, Drang launches the firepot at Humans 1, 3 and 4. (I don't think R2 is on roots, but I can roll the dice in case I'm wrong or there is splash.) He will also give Sarathi a healing surge + d6 +3.
Sarathi gets
(1d6+10)[12]
R1
(1d20+1)[21]
R2 if you say to
(1d20+1)[21]
R3
(1d20+1)[5]
R4
(1d20+1)[9]
Drang then drops the sling and draws his axe, angrily. "Clangeddin, I beseech thee to punish them for their wickedness."

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Drang's sling shot ignites a fire beneath one of the humans, leaving him too burnt to continue fighting. The other two react fast enough to edge away from the fire unharmed.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
The guard drakes continue their onslaught. The one Melhved struck turns its attention towards her, while the other lashes out in surprise that their target got back up. Both of them leave bite marks on their chosen target despite their armor.
Feeling particularly vigorous, the halfling continues to approach. He begins launching sling bullets at Sarathi, having gotten close enough to have a significantly easier time hitting him than his previous target. The first two miss, but the third lands true enough to make his return to consciousness fleeting.
Seeing this, the gnome gets confident enough to begin bragging. "We'll have this sorted out soon enough, and probably make a profit off the attack, too. Cleanup may take longer, but my employer doesn't care much about deaths on the job." He attempts to punctuate the remark with a shot at Melhved, but the bolt just barely falls short. A little sheepish from the miss, he walks up the shallow, northern edge of the crater to rendezvous with the halfling.
The fire continues to spread along the roots. Fortunately, it's moving slowly, and showing no signs of spreading to the grass.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Sarathi wasnt herself. As she rose again, a ripping snarl escaped her throat, her eyes almost glowing red, as she turned her blade on the injured beast. The other injured beast, that is, for it was clear that she was litle more than a beast right now herself. Then her eyes tracked up to the slinger and crosbower, full of dark promise.

Feeling re-energized by Drang's success, Melhved swings wide around the remaining drake. giving a kick to the dead one in passing, to take up a position that might help block shots at the gnoll. With Mother's help, she brings her sword down on the offending drake.

Re: Keep on the Shadowfell IC
Surrounded, the drake lashes out. It has enough combat awareness to know it can't ignore Melhved safely, so it bites her. While attack leaves yet another mark, Sarathi takes advantage of the opening to score another hit.
The gnome and halfling continue to proceed east, positioning themselves so the piles of boxes form a barrier between them and you. They also spread further apart to prevent Regan from firing arrows at both of them simultaneously again. The gnome fires an arrow at Melhved, while the halfling continues to rain sling bullets on Sarathi. Most of the shots strike true, injuring Melhved and leaving Sarathi barely conscious.
As the fire continues to spread along the roots to the south, the easternmost part fades away to reveal a pile of ash.
Spoiler: Game ActionsD1's Turn:
Standard: Bite at Melhved.
Attack Roll: (1d20+6)[24] (base) vs AC. Hit.Sarathi's pre-prepared interruption occurs. I've marked the damage of the hit on the battle map already. If this is in error, Rakaydos should undo the damage application

The fire continues to spread. The root tiles inside the reddish gray square are just a pile of ash that's no longer difficult terrain.
Everyone will take a turn, then the enemies will take their turn.If onlie2003 hasn't taken Regan's turn 24 hours after everyone else has taken their PC's turn, then another player may take Regan's turn.In addition, I've PMed them warning about their non-participation (I wanted to send an email, but the option to do so didn't appear).

The halfling lets the opportunity to punish Sarathi's reckless charge pass by. He's clearly considering Drang's offer.
