((OoC: Those letters are kind of difficult for me to follow. Is there some way you could differentiate the party from the enemies better, like using numbers instead of letters, or using a different color or font?))

I just went and made the map the maximum possible size on imageshack, I hope you can see it well now.

((It's not so much the size as it is the sameness of the characters used to represent the PCs and enemies. Perhaps the PCs could be blue and the kobolds red? Something like that?))

I've tried converting them to red/blue but they don't blend very well with the background. Tomorrow morning I'll modify it and see what colors fit in well.

I updated the map in Post 28 again, giving the enemies a red/arial font while you guys are dark blue/times new roman. I would make a political joke here but it'd probably get deleted.

(( Hopefully, you're not waiting on me... if you are, then here's Kineath's actions, otherwise, this will be his actions on his turn unless the situation radically changes ))

Kineath attempts to deal with the marked minion to his western side, and then summons additional strength from his reserves.

I am actually waiting for Rahmos, and then Agammemnon. Your turn will be taken into consideration for when it's time though, thanks for making it early.

Rahmos

Rahmos frowns when he sees the cheap shot they took at his dragonborn friend. He tries to encourage him and fights with even more ferocity to give example. Get them, Kin! we'll make them pay for that! Seeing how easily the first kobold fell, and now that the minions have dispersed, Rahmos focuses his attacks on the Kobold Dragonshield. I warned you he says, as he attacks mercilessly.

Sorry, went away on a trip for a couple of days and since then the forums have been simply stupid and not letting me post ("server too busy")

I'm still unsure of how 4e rules work, but I guess it's legal if I make a minor action to use the inspiring word ability on Kineath:

Minor Action Close burst 5
Target: You or one ally in burst
Effect: The target can spend a healing surge and regain an additional 1d6 hit points.

Could that save him the action point? I'm so eager to get the 4e books that I may even buy the english version to avoid waiting for the translation...

As a standard action, Rahmos uses his leaf on the wind encounter power on the dragonshield:
Attack:(1d20+6)[24] vs AC
Damage:(2d8+3)[14] and Rahmos switches places with the dragonshield.

Ok, now that I know I can, I'll use the minor action to heal Kineath. I'm editing the post to add some flavour to that.

[Iron Mongler]

You catch the dragonshield under his guard and stab into his arm quickly. He lets out a loud yelp of pain, stumbling towards you. You use the opportunity to slip past him quicker than a panther, not even giving the kobolds a chance to strike back.

Yes, you can heal Kineath with your ability. You get a minor, standard, and move action each turn (and you can give up standard actions for a minor/move or a move for a minor) so you're fine. Kineath, if you wish to edit your actions when your turn rolls up again feel free to. Just as another note to Kineath, ongoing damage only happens at the start of your turn, so failing the save has no ill effects until your next turn.

Agammemnon.

(( Post above edited, and will edit again with (1d6)[2] extra healing from Rahmos ))

My, it's been awhile. Should I continue waiting?

[UserClone]

Oo's next?

Agammemnon.

On another note, are the maps displaying well for you now?

good to know you're still around, Iron Mongler. I suppose it was partly my fault for taking so long to reply last time. I had to go on a trip, but since I last posted I've been checking this thread almost daily to see if it had moved forward.
