I will return to my quarters to fetch what little supplies I have an the return when it's time to leave. He then snaps to a salute bringing his legs together and putting his fist over his heart. Farewell... He was suddenly aware he didn't know what to call the women. She was obviously in charge or at least know everything but she didn't have rank and he didn't know her at all so first name was out. [color=teal]They'lliar,/color] he says after a moment hesitation.
As the new companions make their final preparations the day moves on towards noon. Shortly after mid-day, they are all gathered at the entrance to Winterhaven and make ready to depart.
Setting out along the road, those from the original group recognize an area after about an hours travel. You see the spot where you were set upon by kobolds on your way to the town.

Garvaugn says, "I don't think it's all that unusual. After all, it serves the interests of those up to no good to avoid calling attention to themselves."
Being in the section of the road brought back memories for Rythia. They were not plesant ones by any stretch of the imagination. The pain, the running around, the sounds of metal cutting through flesh...all of these were as real to her now as if she was still in that initial battle. There was no hesistation on her part when she pulled out her shield and strapped it to her left arm, "I remember this part of the road...doubt I'll forget for awhile. The kobolds ambushed me and my other friends here when I first made the journey to Winterhaven!"
She decided that for the moment, it would be better to equip her javalin instead of the longsword hanging on her waist, "They hid behind the rocks and struck without warning. They weren't many but they were armored and good with group tactics. It took everything I had just to beat them. They might not be here now...but I'm not taking any chances." If nothing else, she wanted to make sure her new allies knew her tale so they would be on their guard.

If you have beaten them they will propably stop hunting travelers for some time. At least if their group is not large enough to react angry about their dead kobold friends.
Anyway we should stay wary. Maybe we should even search for tracks next to the road.
Spoiler
Perception: (1d20+4)[20]
Draziw is holding his stony orb in his right hand, walking off-road and searching both sides of the street for tracks and hidden opponents.
War cries break from the underbrush as several small figures dart from hiding places. They are similar to the creatures you fought earlier, but three of them carry longswords and shields.

Surprised by the appearance of the creatures, Thyrn spoke a warning to his allies, in case any of them had not seen them. He then loosed a bolt of arcane power, which arced towards one of the creatures.

Rythia ran out ahead of her allies and towards the kobolds. Considering her heavy scale armor, it was rather obvious that she couldn't swing at melee range before the scaled lizards had a chance to retaliate. However, she smirked a little as she heaved her javelin in her right hand, "I'm better with a sword but if there is one thing these beasts taught me last time...its the importance of range." Truthfully, she was uncertain how well she could throw the weapon. She was barely familiar with it and hardly had any time to practice at all. Still, the half-elf wasn't going to back out of a battle simply because she wanted to exercise with her throwing stick. Rythia let the javelin fly towards the nearest armored kobold before finally drawing her sword in anticipation.

Coal sees the strange wizard being surrounded by the creatures and, knowing by instinct that Rythia an take care of herself, runs and attacks one the creature and using surprising grace for a man of Coal's size tries to draw the creature away.

Seeing Rythia get hit by an attack, Garvaugn goes to fight beside her. "Come and meet my axe little miscreants!" he shouts as he attacks.
Spoiler
I meant to note that I am always in Measured Cut stance with Defender Aura active unless I say otherwise, since they never turn off unless I go unconscious or I turn them off on purpose. If allowed to have to have them "on" before my turn, then cool, otherwise if not I'll activate Defender Aura this turn.
Move to K24. MBA vs. D2's AC - (1d20+9)[12] Damage - (1d10+4)[14] +2 more is allowed to have Measured Cut active.
Thyrn threw another bolt of arcane energy at the creatures, seeking to aid Draziw, who was facing two creatures alone. He then quickly released another blast at one of the creatures menacing Rythia.

Standard Action - Eldritch Blast on creature D3
Action point for another standard action - Eldritch blast on creature D1
There were certain sensations that the half-elven woman did not want to repeat. Having a sharp blade slip past her armor and into her skin was fairly high on that list. She barely resisted the urge to yell in pain and focused more on her own counterattack. Rythia was happy to see her allies were fairing well against the surprise attack and had already downed one of the beasts. She hoped that the good fortune would hold up.
Rythia raised her sword high as she swung once more at the armored lizard she targeted with her javelin throw, "Hinder...me...all you want! True heroes...stand strong, no matter how the odds are stacked against them!" It seemed the presence of the kobolds around her was having an opposite effect and bolstering her resolve. Despite her battle cry, she wasn't completely foolish. The young warlord raised her shield and attempted to gather her strength. She knew from experience that the kobolds liked to hit hard and squeeze out every advantage.
Spoiler
Round Actions Standard Action: Valiant Strike on D2

When Coal runs to help the wizard but ends exactly where those wanted to place a blast of magic energy, Draziw shouts angry: Block their path or don't stand in the way!
The tactics of those little beasts are really disturbing. Have i fought them before? Draziw thinks back to the times and tries to remember what he had once known about kobolds.
Spoiler
Nature Knowledge(1d20+9)[20]
But it does not matter. Draziw tries to get away from the first kobold and claps his hands, the orb within them. A thunderous wave of magic floats over the two and pushes them away - unfortunally also reaching coal.

As you begin to beat back the kobolds they attack with renewed fury, wounding Rythia, Draziw, and Garvaugn while Valandil manages to escape the blow of the kobold attacking him.

Q1: Move: Shift to G22
Minor: Shift to H22
Standard: attack Valandil at 11 vs AC, MISS
Valandil swings his body backwards, dodging the sharp thrust of the weapon. Before his opponent can recover, he delivers a quick kick to the chest, pushing off from it to flip backwards onto the rock. Taking in the battle he chants a quick prayer too queitly to be heard over the commotion and returns to his arrows, hoping to swing the battle away from the valiantly fighting wizard.
Spoiler
Shift to J23
Healing Word Draziw
You heal (1d6)[5] plus you can spend a surge and you gain a +2 untyped bonus to attack rolls until the end of my next turn.
Coal is careful to stay out the wizard's way. He offers no apologies or excuse, just a grunt. He maneuvers back to the kobold and aims a strike at his head followed by a swing of his shield.

Attempting to take one of the creatures out once and for all, Thyrn spoke several words of power, and flames leaped from his outstretched hand, weaving past several of his allies to reach their intended target, one of the creatures menacing Rythia and Garvaugn.

Rythia couldn't hold back the scream in her throat as the kobold's blade once again found a spot between the plates of her armor. They were too quick for her and that's what made her an easy target. Still, the half-elven woman clenched her sword hand and bellowed out in spite of her pain, "Willpower...perseverance...determination...a broken spirit is the most damaging weapon of all...AND I WILL NOT BREAK!" Rythia found the strength to continue fighting within her own words.
With renewed vigor, she swung her sword once more at her scaled enemy.

Draziw releases another wave of thunder over the small ambusher and turns around to move away from the remaining for on this side of the street. Coal would be surly able to handle this guy.
The deva focuses on the opponent next to the halfelf woman instead.
Spoiler
Standard action: Thunderweave (1d20+4)[9] vs fort, (1d6+4)[8] and push him 4 fields up
if the attack roll is below 15 I use memory of a thousand lifetimes (1d6)[5]
EDIT: So it's 14 vs fort
As the allies manage to push the kobolds back and drop another of their enemies the kobolds again rush forward to injure both Thyrn and Draziw. Meanwhile, the kobold engaged in battle with Garvaugn swings ineffectually at the minotaur.
