Not wanting a repeat of Rythia's final battle, Thyrn directed his nxt arcane assault at one of the creatures menacing Crane. A burst of eldritch energy sprung forth from his hand and flew at the creature.

Acting fast the Deva shifts back and attacks the Kobold with a wave of thunder, pushing him back and into the crowd again.
With a word of power Draziw inflames his stony orb and let an explosion hunt the pushed kobold and two of his comrades that set the area in fire.
Spoiler
Move Action: Shift to D3 Standard Action: Thunderwave against Kobold Q1, 18 vs Fort, (1d6+4)[6] thunder damage and push to I7 Action Point: Orbmaster's Incendiary Detonation on J7

against Q1 (1d20+4)[15] vs Reflex
against D1 (1d20+4)[13] vs Reflex (+2 from memories of a thousand lifetimes) (1d6+4)[10] fire damage and prone. 2 fire damage against everyone within the area at the start of his turn.
Draziw steps back before using a powerful display of arcane might to slay two of the kobolds. In retaliation, the remaining kobolds again swarm forward but their attacks miss all but Crane and Thyrn. Thyrn is protected by divine power but Crane is not so lucky and the kobolds lay him out.
Crunch:
Spoiler
Draziw hits and kills Q1
Draziw action points and kills D1 (T5 was already dead as I stated in the last IC post
Q1 and D1 are still on the map and Draziw is in the wrong location, will fix this tonight. Crane is also Bloodied, Prone, Unconcious, Immobilized. Also, Dawn is still on delay until she acts, this can be as soon as she can get the post up.

Even with all their precaution, Kourni was shocked that she couldn't prevent one of her new allies from being knocked out by the kobolds. The goliath woman immediately began another healing chant like before while simultaneously feeding energy to the consecrated ground around them. She had no intentions of letting either defensive measure fade. The energy was enough to stop Crane from bleeding to death but by now, she was clearly worried about his safety.
She swung her hammer wildly at a nearby kobold while announcing, "This is all I can do. We need to cover Crane now."
Spoiler
Round Actions
+1 from the first rune of healing fades
Minor Action: Sustain the Zone
Move Action: Convert to Minor: Rune of Healing on Crane. His hp is set to 0 and he can spend a healing surge. Everyone gains a +1 to all defenses. Rune of Protection still in effect (resist 2 when adjacent).
Standard Action: Word of Shielding on T1
Attack Roll: (1d20+7)[22]
Damage: (1d10+4)[7] and if the target hits or misses Kourni or an adjacent ally before the end of the next turn, the target of that attack gains 4 temp hp.

Valandil continues onwards, determined to remove the ranged threat. His chant never wavering, he nimbly dashes to the treeline. Admist the foliage, he rains death.

((Sorry for the delay guys, it have been a tough week...))
[Dawn Sunstorm]
Seeing the battlefield unfold before her, the Deva feels stricken with indecision, there were memories not her own pulling her in different directions.
Heal him...
Support your casters.
Charge!
People might die unless she made the right choice.
The right choice.
The right choice.
The ri-
Shut up! The paralyze finally let go and the voices were gone once more which meant she had to meet the battlefield alone without their experience.
But she knew what she must do, "I'll cover him." She finally tells the goliath, having wasted precious seconds on memories that weren't hers, the voices of the dead. But she had no time for guilt now, action was needed.
The deva moves through the ticket and notices the monk laying prone on the ground next to the vicious creature trying to kill him. Taking a deep breath she calls upon the light of Pelor before bringing the longsword against it's little body, praying that she wouldn't falter.
Dawn then quickly reaches down to touch Crane for but a brief moment before turning back her attention to the attackers, ready to face them once again. She had atonement to do.

Weeping Crane
Crane staggers to his feet, resuming his defensive stance. I... shall... not... break... he mutters, steeling himself with new resolve. His tattoo continues to pulse lightly as his tears are absorbed by the minor charm. He looks to his companions. Thank you... Sisters... I am honoured... by your valour... he manages to wheeze though the blood in his mouth, giving a nod of thanks to Kourni and Dawn.

Thyrn was somewhat torn between dispatching the creature that was immediately next to him, and aiding his comrades. Hoping to dispatch with the nearest creature quickly, he laid a curse upon it, which would intensify the power of Thyrn's arcane spells, and then cast a spell upon it, which had repercussions for those who chose to attack him for a few moments. He then moved a few feet away, as even if his spell would harm his foe further if it harmed him, it would still be far better to avoid harm entirely.
Spoiler
Minor Action- Warlock's Curse on T9
Standard Action - Hellish Rebuke on T9
Move Action - Shift to B1
Attack roll - (1d20+4)[24] vs. Reflex
Damage - (1d6+4)[5] plus (1d6)[2] from warlock's curse if it hits. If i take damage before the end of my next turn, T9 takes an extra (1d6+4)[9] damage, assuming I hit.
The stone in Draziw's hand is burning, and with his words of magic the deva let the fire continue and expand, catching 3 more kobolds and start to burn them. The spell and its flames seems to be harmless to those who the wizard does not want to harm.
With another movement of his hand Draziw sends a magic missile to the kobold in the back, hunting him.
You can not hide little one.
Spoiler
Orb of imposition, extend and expand the effect from my last spell to an area 3 burst at j7, causing every kobold who starts its turn there 2 fire damage.
Thyrn and Draziw both strike down a kobold with their arcane power while Draziw also calls more energy into his flames which causes three more of the kobolds to burst into flame and die.
One of the kobolds shrieks Irontooth must be warned! before fleeing from site.
The last two remaining kobolds advance and one manages to further injure crane.
Crunch:

Thyrn kills T9

The goliath woman frowned a bit as one of the kobolds made a beeline towards the waterfall. Any doubt that there were more of the scaled beasts in the area was quickly dissolved by its worried cry and quick departure. Although she had no idea who or what this Irontooth was, the runepriest figured it would spell bad news for herself and her allies. Regardless, she was in no position to stop the runner, so she focused on other matters.
Kourni once more maintained her protection field while taking a step forward. She idly traced a new rune on the side of her hammer before she swung it with annoyance at a nearby kobold. She couldn't shake the feeling that the worst was likely yet to come.
Unfortunately, her fears easily broke her focus and her hammer crashed harmlessly to the ground a full ten inches away from her target.

Dawn breath's out in relief as it appears Crane is going to be okay. "Don't worry, you're going to make it."
When the Koboldt's flee, she does not chase, just glad that there are less enemies to take care of.
But as the remaining koboldts keep attacking the wounded monk, her defender instincts comes to life again.
She quickly reaches out her hand towards the koboldt in front of her but then moves besides Crane and mercilessly attack the kobolt trying to kill him.
Spoiler
Minor Action: Mark kobolt T3 with Divine Challenge Move Action: Move to I4 Standard Action: Attack kobolt T8 with Ardent Strike (vs AC) (1d20+8)[22] Damage: (1d8+4)[6]
Valandil gasps, realizing how truly big this lair was and how many allies these kobolds could have lurking here.
"Only in death does duty end." he whispers to himself. Emboldened by his words and his faith, the elf takes up his bow. As the arrows fly, his thoughts wander back to the kobold's words...Who is Irontooth?
Spoiler
Twin Striking T11 and the closest of the two kobolds below him.
T11 (1d20+3)[19] Damage: (1d12+1)[6]
Other (1d120+3)[108]14 Damage: (1d12+1)[8]

No longer directly menaced by the scaly aggressors, Thyrn could once again turn his attention to those aggrieving his allies. He laid a curse upon the creature, then launched a bolt of arcane energy at it.
Spoiler
Minor action - Warlock's Curse on what I think is T2 (the number is obscured somewhat. It's the one to Crane's left)
Standard action - Eldritch blast on that same enemy
Attack roll - (1d20+4)[12]
Damage roll - (1d10+6)[7] plus (1d6)[5] from Warlock's Curse
It is easy to shoot this remaining kobolds if you hold power over the arcane secrets. Another magic missile is cast, and Draziw moves on to follow Valendil.
Don't waste time with them. Valendil is entering the cave! We need to help him.
Spoiler
Standard action: Magic missile on T3, 6 damage
Move action to c9
As Draziw strikes down the last of the kobolds outside the cave, those inside swarm towards Valandil in an effort to bring him down before his allies can get to him.

Valandil rolls to avoid the kobold's blade. His retreat brings him beside another and he takes a grazing blow before he dances away, his opponents forcing him to retreat. Deciding it better to use this to his advantage instead of fight it, he obliges and pushes himself into a backwards dive.
Valandil lands nimbly to his feet and takes the moment of respite to push back on the offense. His chant never wavering. He lets off two quick shots in succession in hopes to dissuade them.

Dawn takes a good look at Crane who still seems to be in a poor condition. "Do you need more healing? Your wounds look grave." She asks in a slightly stressed tone. She still needed to aid the others, she could only delay this for a moment.
She'll then run towards the cave opening.
Spoiler
Minor Action: Depending on how Crane answers, Dawn will use her other lay of hands to heal him or not.
