I'll take up position to defend our side of the door, attacking anyone who comes through while trying to stay out of a clear line of sight to the archers and casters.

Do we want to try to close the door? Probably not, but this looks like it could be a tough fight.

Does leveling up improve our spells at any point? Or do we just have to wait and find out?

WhatRULookingAt grabs the empty treasure chest and wedges it behind the door to narrow the opening (This only works if the door opened towards us) then he takes a position to the side of the door opening, attacking anything that comes through. "Fights, Risks help me hold the door. Until those archers can be taken out, we have the best armor."

Leveling up will NOT earn new spells. Those you have to find via spellbooks (Arcane spells) or Priest Chambers (Divine). Granted, there's the Spellweaver here and this looks like a lair, so if there aren't any books nearby...

If you stay in the current room, the ranged kobolds have no shot. They're on a ledge (readied action and elevation bonus). It'll take a turn to hide away from the door to get out of line of sight of the casters, but if they get close, only Leaps and Knives will be able to avoid them (unless they take an action and target them specifically; then they can still be hit).

ironically enough I forgot shamans get healing bonuses and I never applied them. oops. derp. will do in the future

Knives will stealth and attack the first kobold caster that comes into range.

I was wondering about the healing bonus. Almost asked. But figured that (a) it was probably already factored in and (b) 25% of 2-3 is less than 1 hp anyway.

Risks Will charge the first kobold he sees.

Teller decides that now would be a good time to level up. So he does so.

Leaps will stay hidden ready to shank the first kobold that runs past him.

TURN 20: War I of ??

Combat Begins; list randomized, order of events is:

Sword Kobold 3 advances through the doorway and can melee next turn

Sword Kobold 1 advances to the doorway
What wedges the chest to make it a narrow field of attack (Energy Cost 6) [1+4+3 = 8 vs Piety 9: Effective!] The kobolds who have not come through can only melee one at a time after this point assuming you hold position. The archers can shoot over it if they get off their ledge.

Leaps and Knives get a Fate Point on Turn 24
Other Heroes get a Fate Point on turn 21
Leaps' Danger Sense has expired at the end of this turn. Can be reactivated on Turn 22.

I keep hitting things until they fall down.

Crushes shoot darts at sword kobold #3 or #2 (whichever is alive)

Leaps will focus his attacks on kobold #3 in the hopes that he can take him down.

Risks will keep on attacking the one nearest him.

Fights blocks the doorway so the melee kobolds cannot get through while fighting the first one. He tries to position himself sideways so the others still can shoot and cast at it. Or backstab it.

OOC: In case of missed turn please let me auto-follow the group and if 2/3 fight, then let me join the fight.

WhatRULookingAt joins the fray, attacking which ever kobold is closest. "Crushes, can you keep wearing down that Spellweaver? At this range, you're the only one who can."

Teller uses Group heal on whomever is injured by the kobolds.

Knives will stab the more injured sword kobold.

TURN 21: Kobold War II

D'Vixx the Kobold Spellweaver: 10 Attack, 4 Armor, 8 Piety, 55 HP, 38 MP [Magic Defense Up] [2 Free Rerolls]

Judging from the way the Grey Casters are defending themselves, you guess their Magic Power to be about 8 and D'Vixx's to be about 14. Won't be truly known until they start slinging spells.
Knives got a kill, one more kill and he gets a Fate Point
Leaps and Knives get a Fate Point on Turn 24
Other Heroes get a Fate Point this turn (next on Turn 28)
Leaps' Danger Sense can be reactivated on Turn 22.

Knives will attack Fang.

Risks will attack sword Kobold #2

Leaps will join the attack on #2

For future reference I'll try to update twice a day during big battles like this one. (I've already rolled up order of movement for the next turn...)

"We need to close the door until we kill the melee fighters"

Crushes will cast deathshield on What.

For the second turn (if you update before I post):
Shoot darts at Fang or at one of the sword kobolds (on the off chance Fang is dead)

Going to go out to get groceries; if Nerre and and What don't post their actions, I'll assume they're defending/fighting back but I won't autopilot things forever...
