"Yeah, but we ain't outta the woods yet... nor into 'em, I s'pose. Gotta get these folk over the bridge, and make sure them gobbos can't follow close behind. Seems our friends have got that part covered, so let's help beat back them hobgobs 'n make a bit more time." Using the trees near the bridge for cover, the dwarf readies his gun for the approaching hobgoblins. Action 1: Exploit Vulnerability on approaching hobgoblin; Likely one of the rangers, unless they won't be in range of an attack due to being too far back. Action 2 & 3: Ready - Attack target of exploit vulnerability with clan pistol.

Potentially advantageous, or potentially deadly for the team. Not one to shy away from the excitement, he dashes up between the orc and the cave wall with the charau-ka leader barely in sight. "Dahak's wrath, you say? If you represent 'Dahak's wrath' then I dare say they must be a push-over! My childhood kitten was more ferocious than you! Of course, in Cheliax, the kittens carry the taint of the infernal realms upon them, but that's beside the point. Er.. what was my point again?" Along with his atrocious quip, Baldric looses a single arrow. The shot is tight, but worth showing that they're not afraid of the crazed cultist. Action 1: Move NE->NE->E->E (25 ft.) - 1 square due south of Vharag Action 2: Bon Mot vs. Malarunk (Diplomacy vs. Will DC) - Critical Failure, meaning I take a -2 status penalty on Perception and Will saves until I issue a successful bon mot or 1 minute, whichever is sooner. Action 3: Ranged attack (I'm guessing he has cover, though)

"Let us consider the facts. The statue is clearly a guardian. It did not begin moving until... until Iodás opened the far door. That may be a trigger... And consider the statue's outstretched hand. It had relatively fresh blood upon it when we arrived, no older than a few days. If indeed the statue calls for a blood offering, then... Forgive my brashness, Luciana, and prepare for the worst."

I think we need to verify the state of the room, and approaching the same way isn't a bad idea, per se. We can always retreat.

Her whole body crackles with electricity as her hair darkens, as if it were itself a storm cloud, and she pulls the same energy she used to drop Grakk into her open hand and sends the electrified bolt of energy flying at Tarth. "You chose the wrong line of work, big guy." OOC & Actions Action 1: Stride SE>E>NE>NE (25 ft.) Action 2 & 3: Elemental Blast vs. Tarth - 1d6+4 electricity damage on hit.

Loreli was watching Danior safely in the carriage by this point, and unless this was a decoy, Tallon had to be inside. The question remains: in what condition would they find him? Their resources had run dry, and the vampire is stronger than any of them despite his weakened state. All they can do now is try their damnedest to end this once and for all. They had been given a shot at redemption, and whether they were ready for that or not, running away isn't what 'good' people do. Is it? Krott buries that thought and realigns his grip on the crowbar, ready to lever open the sarcophagus as another member of the group is ready with a stake. Meanwhile, Krott mentally commands Slag to pass him elixirs as necessary once the lid is open. OOC & Actions Prior to opening the lid, Krott will take another . Cyntheria will take the Drakeheart Mutagen and Bravo's Brew ("These taste yucky, Mr. Mud!" "They're good for you, girl! Like medicine." "I hate medicine!" etc. etc.) Slag is commanded to pass items into my hand via the Valet ability. Krott will open the sarcophagus. Someone in the party, either Sal or Demtrius I'm guessing (but not certain), should be ready to stake Tallon if he's still unconscious, or as soon as he is. Maybe even Cyntheria. Mr. Mud will stand back, away from the party members who are grouped up near the sarcophagus (whoever that may be). Mr. Mud will cast Boost Eidolon on Cyntheria on the first round, to improve her damage.

Steeling himself for the unknown, Baldric takes a position toward the back of the cavern, with a view to the passage the ugly little monstrosity flew down, with his bow at the ready. "Much appreciated. Now, we prepare for the unexpected! We already know the little one can become invisible and has a nasty bite. We know not what his 'boss' can do." Resolute to face this threat with is new allies, Baldric pulls out an elixir and quickly downs it, dropping the vial in which is was contained and readying himself to strike with his bow yet again.

She grins, though she definitely appears a little "green around the gills" as it were. "Anyway, I know how much Namira wanted to see the turtles. It's your call, Nami. I picked the last one, now's your choice! I'm happy to go for either contest." OOC/Actions N/A
