The group positioned themselves to strike from the north.  Their goal was to use the cavern's natural passage ways and walls to bottleneck the kobolds, not allowing them to use their numbers to their advantage.  Then when the clustered up, the Dragonborn and the Invoker, could user their breath weapons and area attacks to decimate their numbers.

With the beserker charging ahead, the elder Dragonborn warrior followed suit, but not with the same cheetah like speed.  He sent his flail crashing down on the first kobold he could reach.

OOC: Surprise round action, charge from G3 to K4, kill the minion there.

13:35, Today: Malphurious rolled 25 using 1d20+9.  charge L4.

Better late than never, Kbenjar moves up and prepares to engage the enemy.

Move: as shown

The coin is dropped and as many times before, the surging barbarian leaps forward, quickly carving down a minion before anyone notices what happens. Turning, he blasts through them and strikes a bow wielding foe, who is struck heavily. It spits on the ground in anger.
Malph manages to advance and strikes down a smaller kobold and suddenly an unrest spreads.
The red light eminiates curiously but nothing happens...yet.

Kbenjar moves into the caves and begins sending out his deadly tendrils towards the weaker tunnelers.

Move: to I7
Standard: Hand Of radiance on L9, K11 and M11 (killing L9 and M11)

09:29, Today: Kbenjar rolled 25 using 1d20+5.  Hand of Radiance on M11 -v- ref.

09:27, Today: Kbenjar rolled 17 using 1d20+1.  init.
 

Malphuriuos, emboldened by his successful strike, continued his onslaught only to stumble over the corpse of the fallen kobold before him.  He regained his composure, and set about

OOC: Move 3 of 5 to engage N3.  One hit for 11 (or 15 if I got the Commander's Strike benefit).  He is also marked.

17:45, Today: Malphurious rolled 11 using 1d8+4.  damage!
14:02, Today: Malphurious rolled 18 using 1d20+8.  action from saskan vs slinger N3 (AC13).
13:59, Today: Malphurious rolled 9 using 1d20+8.  footwork lure vs slinger N3 (AC13).

Saskan steps up and slashes the foul kobold in front of him with his longsword gashing him and leaving a broader opening for his allies.

OOC: Until the start of my next turn anyone who attacks L5 gets a +3 bonus from Combat Advantage instead of a +2.
20:27, Today: Saskan rolled 5 using 1d8. Damage.
20:26, Today: Saskan rolled 18 using 1d20+7. Intuitive strke vs Will L5.

Chaos ensues.
Kobolds scatter, and strike at their foes, but many fall during the ambush.
A few strike weakly at you and inflict minor wounds. Kbenjar narrowly avoids a Javelin, while Ignatz notices he is surrounded.
Two archers single him out, and one aims for Saskan. Only one arrow finds a home and Ignatz notices that it is lit aflame as it leaves the bowstring!
It strikes him and aches to the touch against his skin!

They scatter and one can only wonder if those adjacent will notice assuming they are there!

Using the power granted him by his mentor, Warryn felt her energy move him across the cavern.  Quickly he cursed the nearest enemy, the one about to be assailed by Malphurious, and then turned his attention to a missile armed enemy across the cavern.


Free Action:  Misty Step when curse victim dies.  Move as map
Minor:  Curse kobold at L4
Action:  Eyebite at O3

19:50, Today: Warfryn rolled 17 using 1d20+6.  Eyebite vs L3
19:51, Today: Warfryn rolled 9 using 1d6+4.  Eyebite damage.
Warfryn is invisible to L3 kobold Tsomnt

Kbenjar sends out another wave of divine energy tendrils, thinning out the enemy's front line so that his companions can get to the nasty archers at the back.

Standard: Hand of Radiance on L5, K8 and K13 (hitting L5 and K8, killing them)

09:04, Today: Kbenjar rolled 8 using 1d20+5.  Hand of Radiance on K13 -v- ref.
09:04, Today: Kbenjar rolled 24 using 1d20+5.  Hand of Radiance on K8 -v- ref.
09:04, Today: Kbenjar rolled 24 using 1d20+5.  Hand of Radiance on L5 -v- ref.
 

Malphurious pauses and waits for his allies to mow down the kobold scum so he can engage the slinger that was peppering them with shots.  His flail sweeps it's legs out from underneath it and he smiles, bearing his dagger-like fangs.

OOC: Move 4 of 5 from K4 to N3 to engage slinger on O3.  Dropping initiative to 19 to let Kben clear the lane for me.  Target is hit, is prone, is marked, and takes 8 damage.

16:31, Today: Malphurious rolled 8 using 1d8+4.  damage!
16:31, Today: Malphurious rolled 13 using 1d20+8.  footwork lure vs slinger O3 (AC13).

Ignatz barely notices the blows he receives from the kobolds who move in to surround him- indeed, he doesn't seem to even notice their presence. His gaze remains locked on the archer he injured, and his wild grin doesn't even flicker as the arrow in his bare chest bursts into flame.

In the split second in which Ignatz is obscured by the blaze, he rolls between the two kobolds surrounding him. Before they even realize he's moved, the smoldering half-orc has torn apart the archer they were protecting.

OOC:
Saskan, do not bother healing me yet. I get 5 free THP the first time I'm bloodied.

Standard: Pressing Strike (Shift->O9) HIT Slinger O9 AC 26 for 18 damage, killing it

Saved against ongoing damage, gained 2 THP

Resources: THP 2 HP 15/29, HS 9/10, 0/1 AP

19:37, Today: Ignatz rolled 20 using 1d20.  Save vs ongoing damage.
19:37, Today: Ignatz rolled 18 using 4d6+4, rerolling ones.  Pressing Strike damage.
19:37, Today: Ignatz rolled 26 using 1d20+7.  Pressing Strike vs Slinger P8 AC 13.

Saskan shook off the arrow and stepped forward wanting to get Ignatz a better angle of attack on the enemy next to him. "Surely you can do better than that wild one!" He encourages the Barbarian hoping to set-off a chain reaction of fun.

OOC: Move - taken care of on the map.
Standard - Commander's Strike for Ignatz. Good luck!

Ignatz is startled by Saskan's voice and he jerks around toward its source, just in time to see the draconic warrior moving in to flank the kobold behind him. Saskan's presence draws the kobold's attention for a split second, and Ignatz's pupils dilate as his feral instincts recognize the opening- however, he lacked experience fighting as a unit, and he's slow to capitalize on the opening his tactician had created. The kobold sees the blow coming just in time to deflect it, though doing so leaves its entire side numb.

OOC:
22:54, Today: Ignatz rolled 12 using 1d20+7.  Commander's Strike MBA vs Tunneler N8 AC 15.

A small bell rings. The gem which appear attached to the top of an empty bronzed throne, emanates strongly, pulsating.
An alarm. Somehow you have been found out and you notices more movements; suddenly two kobolds ascend upon Ignatz. He fells one, only to see more appear!
One of the quickly, as in very quickly, moving kobolds slither in and pierces below his armor, causing him a piercing wound in the side that almost takes the life out of him, as it laughs insanely at it's success.
Two more engage Kbenjar and Saskan is shot at, with a curious tip on the arrow. As he is hit by the feet a sticky and smell liquid spreads on his feet and he is stuck!

You hear a snarl or rather a roar in the distance.
"You should not have mettled in the Shar's business, KILL THEM!"
The tone is rough and obvious, spoken in a broken common tongue, in laced with what is likely goblin. They remain at the back, not engaging you just yet and appear out of sight. Be it arrogance or similar is hard to say, but the sheer amount of kobolds leaves little time to contemplate anyways.

Malphuriuos lashes out at the kobold slinger who tried to spring away clipping it with his flail.

OOC:  Interrupt attack because he shifted away from me.  Slinger who's in P4 took an extra 6 damage on it's turn.
07:57, Today: Malphurious rolled 6 using 1d8+4.  damage.
07:57, Today: Malphurious rolled 27 using 1d20+9.  OA on shift from combat advantage (AC13).

OOC: Posting assuming that Ignatz is up on his initiative, will update hp if he is healed.

Ignatz's eyes widen as the unseen blade plunges into his side. He turns, wide eyes and ghastly smile luminous against his ashen face, and his bloody hand flashes out and clamps down on the assassin's thin wrist. He laughs uproariously along with the kobold, and then lashes savagely out with his poleaxe, his laughter spiraling into hysterics. The slink twists around what would have been a lethal blow, and Ignatz is left holding the severed forearm of his still-living assailant.

OOC:
SASKAN I WAS WRONG LMAO

Standard: Thunderhooves Rage MISS Slink O9 AC 13 for 13 damage

THUNDERHOOF RAGE: Until the rage ends, you may move through up to 2 enemies' spaces per turn. If you do, your next attack against that enemy on the same turn deals +2d6b1 (+1[W]).

Saskan sees the vicious blows Ignatz has taken and encourages him saying, "Take heart, we will prevail!"

OOC: Minor action - Inspiring Word - Surge +1d6 HP

Ignatz drops the kobold's arm and looks up at Saskan, still laughing hysterically. He can see that the warrior is shouting to him, but between the blood loss and the adrenaline he only registers a few words. "...heart, we..." That's right, there were others here fighting with him. He'd forgotten. His head clears a little. He couldn't afford to lose face in front of his new traveling companions, this was the first serious fight they'd seen him in. His laughter sputters into a chuckle and then a far saner-sounding belly laugh.

Kbenjar takes a step back from the pressing minions and releases another wave of divine tendrils to clear a path to his companions.

Move: shift to H7
Standard: Hand of Radiance on J7, J8 and P4 (hitting J7 and J8 killng both)

08:19, Today: Kbenjar rolled 9 using 1d20+5.  Hand of Radiance on P4 -v- ref.
08:18, Today: Kbenjar rolled 17 using 1d20+5.  Hand of Radiance on J8 -v- ref.
08:18, Today: Kbenjar rolled 22 using 1d20+5.  Hand of Radiance on J7 -v- ref.
 

Malphurious hears the howls of the barbarian and surges past the slinger to come to his aid.  "Finish that one," he said to Warfyrn as he set off.  Seeing the barbarian entering a rage, he tried to match the half-orc's ferocity, slamming his flail into the creature, knocking it flat.  It didn't move after that.

OOC:  Hit for 11 damage (thanks to CA) which should be just the last bit to finish him off since Ignatz did 13 and he has 24.  But should he be alive, he's also prone and marked.

Move: 4 of 5 from N3 to O7.
Std: Footwork Lure
Minor: unused

17:38, Today: Malphurious rolled 11 using 1d8+4.  damage!
17:38, Today: Malphurious rolled 16 using 1d20+10.  footwork lure vs slink O9 (AC15).

"Wha...?"

For a moment Warfryn was confused but soon realised what Malphurious meant.

"Sure thing, Malph" he replied before zapping the kobold with a warlock's curse and follwing that up with a blast of Eldritch Power.


01:20, Today: Warfryn rolled 9 using 1d10+4.  Damage on P4.
01:19, Today: Warfryn rolled 19 using 1d20+5.  Eldritch Blast on P4.

Shifting movements are heard in the distances, and a deep laughter.
Coming ever so close to claiming a body, the group recovers and fights back.
With a few more falling, one of the slingers drop back and unleashes at the dwarf, who has taken so many of their own.
You hear barking further in, and the tongue is deep and gutteral, as if orders are being spoken.
Malph is stabbed once through a slick move and while many of them fall, a lone slinger takes a shot and hits Kbenjar, with a fiery shot, laughing.

NEW ROUND!

NOTE:
I would like most of you to adopt two things.
Stating AP amount, and current hp in all posts please!
It aids the leader and the GM tremendously, and my experience as a Warlord was based on overview - so please, go forward and include this in every post!
To aid, here is my current tally:
- Kbenjar: 14 damage
- Saskan: 11 damage
- Malph: 14 damage
- Warfryn: Zero!
- Ignatz: His tally is on point so, no need to reflect it here.

"Hahaaa, dot's de spirit!" Ignatz growls as Malphurious delivers a crushing finishing blow. He looks like he's about to give the dragonborn a companionable slap on the back when the slinger behind him moves. Ignatz reacts instantly and thoughtlessly, darting toward the kobold with claws and fangs bared. Just as it gets its shot off on Kbenjar, Ignatz slams into him and circles behind him in a flash, shoving the kobold back into a crippling blow that lays its spine bare and leaves Ignatz even more drenched in blood.
