Also, just to let everyone know, in about two weeks, I'm going to New York for a few days and will have limited to no internet access during that time.
Draziw tries to help crane, and stabilize his wounds, but after this he has to move backwards and bring himself into safety. He shoots a magic missile from there, but has not enough time for a second.

Move to b8, magic missile on d2 for 6 damage

Kourni attacks the leader of the Kobold pack, still trying to protect crane. She falls back only a few steps, to entice him to follow her out of the cave.

Draziw shoots his magic missiles on one of the bloodied kobolds. It might be not the fastest tactic, but at least every hit weakens them more and the power of his arcane arts does not fail.

Kournis plan to bring the leader of the Kobold pack out of the cave works, and so she falls back some more, casting defensive runes on him that hinder his movements and hurt him if he tries to attack someone.

When the kobold leader attacks the golden rune kourni had used on him begins to glow and inflames, burns into his flesh. Kourni loughs and attacks him again, casting another rune on his skin. But the energy orb had brought herself in danger, and so she moves back to the woods some steps to have some cover.
Spoiler
I gets 4 damage from kournis rune
Kourni attacks again:
Word of shielding: (1d20+7)[21] vs AC of I, (1d10+4)[9] damage and again 4 damage if he attacks someone.
Shift to C12 and hope the trees grant cover

Draziw observes the move of the fierce kobold leader that brings Thyrn down. Maybe he could stabilize or at least save his new found ally, but not without risk.
He shots another magic missile, moves close to Kourni and tries to create an thunderwave between them and their attacker.
Spoiler
minor action magic missile on I, 6 damage
move to c11
standard action thunderwave from b12 to a14 (technically one row above the A row is affected too, but that's out of the map)
(1d20+4)[9] vs will (1d6+4)[10] damage
push to e16

Kourni shoves Irontooth away from her allies who proceed to hurl everything they have at the Goblin. Irontooth's body is racked by the blows but before he can fall to the ground defeated, he brings his axes around one last time to strike Kourni down, as he falls Irontooth cries out Kalarel and Lord Orcus, prepare my way!
With Irontooth out of the way, the heroes make short work of the remaining kobolds. As they survey the scene of the fight they spot Dawn, Kourni, and Thyrn who all died at the ends of the kobolds. Valandil takes his leave of the party as he has seen enough death this day and heads back to town alone.
As Draziw patches up Crane, they begin to search the bodies of the fallen foes as well as the interior of the cave.
Spoiler
You find 12Gp and 48SP
Irontooth bears the following: a pouch containing a small silver key, and a message scroll.
Scroll:
Spoiler
My spy in Winterhaven suggests we keep an eye out for visitors to the area. It probably does not matter; in just a few more days, I’ll completely open the rift. Then Winterhaven’s people will serve as food for all those Lord Orcus sends to do my bidding.
Kalarel
In the very back of the cave they find a chest as well as a number of prisoners.
Spoiler
The new players can jump in now, as the prisoners that are being rescued. I will update the Player Status block with the new PCs at some poine today I hope.
As the sounds of rending flesh and tiny screams ceased, Roderick was elated to see that the one who walked toward his cage were not of the reptile variety.
"Hail, traveler! I see you have managed to prevail against our prison guards and for that, I congratulate you wholeheartedly. You seem to be gravely injured as a result. Let us free and I can help with that."
__________________ Many thanks to Ceika for the sweet avatar.
Sgian-dubh wakes up in a sweat, after the fighting has ceased. The demonic powers in him wanted to taste kobold blood for their locking him up. His father spoke to him in a dream and whispered things in his ear still. He shook his head to get the noises out and spoke to the adventurers who had killed the Kobolds, "Free me as well, and I will help you kill these wretched little things and get out of here." Something told him, perhaps it was a whisper, to go along with these people, at least for now.
Chained and isolated in a deep part of the cavern, Reeve cursed at himself. I was too fast! How could I be so stupid?, he thought. He had apparently beaten the adventurers to the kobold camp and was quickly overwhelmed by their forces. Not only that, they would be on high alert for when the adventurers made it there.
It was a welcome sound to hear the sound of leather shoes against the hard rock floor for once, as opposed to the scratching sound the kobolds made as they walked. Apparently the adventurers had prevailed where he had not.
Reeve staggered to his feet while still chained to the wall and greeted his rescuers. "You honor me with your presence. I hurried here to aid you against the kobold menace but it appears I misjudged how quickly I'd arrive. I managed to slay a few before I was subdued.
However, I must apologize for the forces you encountered. If it wasn't for my haste, they may not have been expecting you and the resistance you faced may have been lessened.
Regardless, I thank you for rescuing me. You have done this land a great service and my temple will be proud to hear of your exploits. If possible, I would like to accompany you back to Winterhaven to report to Lord Padraig.
Wiping the blood from his face, Reeve grabbed his greatspear and followed his new companions out of the cave.

Weeping Crane
The monk enters the back room in his wooden sandals. He unlocks whatever cages and manacles and other devices hold the prisoners with Irontooth's key. This is no cause for celebration. Three honoured friends have died to win you this freedom. They must be buried, and then we can return to Winterhaven, says the monk morosely. Having freed the prisoners, he crouches beside Kourni and speaks softly in giant. He closes the goliath's eyes and then moves on to Thryn. I hope your soul finds peace in spite of your pact, warlock, he says, before closing Thryn's eyes and turning at last to Dawn. May your next rebirth be peaceful, Dawn. You have earned it. He closes the deva's eyes and then drags the bodies to the mouth of the cave. We will require stones to build cairns. This ground is too hard for proper graves. That said, he begins collecting stones to bury their dead.

Spoiler
Sleep well, sister. May the earth embrace you one last time forevermore.

Thanks to Arokh for all the wonderful avatars! May his computer never crash and his mouse arm never cramp!
Verin was grateful for his release from the Kobolds' bindings. He stretched his limbs to help recover from the stiffness which had beset his muscles in captivity. He briefly thanked his rescuers and introduced himself before reaching into his pack to retrieve a heavy cloak, which he fastened around himself.
Upon coming to the conclusion that his rescuers were likely adventurers or mercenaries, he decided to offer them aid in their endeavors, partially out of gratitude, and partially out of need for something to do beyond wandering about the land.
