Within the jungle of Avelon sits Stormwreck Keep, the training center for the Knights of the Golden Cross. This elite group of soldiers were recently formed to combat the evil that has recently corrupted the land. It all began when the Gul'Den Quintuplets mysteriously surfaced south of the midland mountains. "The 5", as they liked to be called, scoured the southern part of the world building an army of monstrous evil to help in their pursuit of global genocide. The rumor from southern spies tell that "The 5" have located an ultimate artifact that will help in their quest, but they are missing one piece that will control the artifact. It was then that they dispersed the evil into the world to find the mystical amulet. After hearing the plans of "The 5", the 6 kingdoms of Avelon sent recruits from all over to Stormwreck Keep to train, locate, and dismantle the evil in the world, and to recover the amulet to stop "The 5's" plans from coming to fruition. It is here where the newest set of graduates are receiving their first mission. Baron Tormin, Leader of the Knights of the Golden Cross stands across the seven graduates in the main hall and asks them to raise their right wrists. He begins to recite the right of graduation. "Please repeat after me. I hereby dedicate myself to the order to cleanse the world from evil. I will uphold the honors and tradition to my race, and I swear to protect the innocent from all types of harm. I will put my life on the line daily to keep law and order, and to punish those trying to kill off the beautiful lands we live on." With that the recruits follow suit, and the moment they utter the last words, a magical sigil brands itself on the inner forearm of each one.  "My friends, do not fear about the mark. It will help you when you need it most. The magic will take over when it needs to be used. Now all I ask you all to introduce yourselves to each other and share all you specialize in. Brother Solvis, would you please begin?" He points to the first of the group. "Greetingssss my friendsss. My name isss Sssolvisss Sssitherscale." You all look to him and notice he has a forked tongue and lidless eyes. He appears to be human like, but does show small green scales across the exposed skin on his body underneath vials lined across his chest. "Pleassse to not fear my comradesss, I am a Cleric to my deity, The Vigilant One, the Great Guard, and The Watcher, Helm. I am here to lend you all my healing from The Watcher, asss well asss my ssscimitar." Solvis draws his scimitar and places it on the ground in front of his as he kneels. Baron Tormin turns to the next person and says, "Please, go ahead and introduce yourself..." ((Please go ahead and introduce yourselves quickly. Feel free to share what you would like about your characters.)) |

You see a tall figure stride forward and stand proudly. He throws back his cloak's hood and you see that he is a half-Orc with an exceptionally heavy brow and large tusks. His face is weathered and worn, and you can see hints of long-healed scars. He is lean, but muscular. He is wearing scuffed and dented armor over dark leathers. He has a large sword strapped to his back and another at his hip.
When he speaks, you are surprised to hear intelligence and refined language.
"Greetings, friends. May Helm's blessings lend you protection. I am Muraabar, a paladin of Helm, sworn to protect my allies and all in need. The path before us will be dangerous, but I shall never falter in my efforts to stand between you and the scourge of evil that we face.

"Greetings. I am Lobelia Merilwen. High Princess to the Elven Kingdom of Idhrenniel. Do not let my royalty nor this dress confuse anyone. I have slain many foe who underestimated me."
The tall and slender princess walks forward and gives a royal bow to everyone. As she bows, you notice her dress has been reinforced with armor and has been mended for quick movements. On her way back up she snaps her finger. From the corner of the room appears a medium sized terrier. He trots across the room and sits next to the princess. You all notice he brandishes a solid gold collar with the Elven crest engraved on it.
"This my friends is Elendil. He is my faithful companion, and will always be there for us if we need him."
She leans down and whispers something in to his ear. He gives a quick smile to everyone, barks once, and magically vanishes. You can all hear his claws move on the stone as he trots back to the corner of the room.
"I am happy to have been chosen for this group and will be more than happy to offer my bow and my partner to the cause."
With that said, she descends back in to the line.

Before anyone else could get a chance to introduce themselves, the doors of the hall burst open. Staggering in is the squire who helped all of you during training. He was an innocent boy of 11 years old, and looked up to all of you due to your kindness. He came limping in and covered in blood. As he reaches all of you, he falls to the floor and on his last breath he says, "They are here...." You all watch as Timmy the squire boy you all knew and cared for dies at your feet.  Before you have a chance to do anything, spears come flying in your direction from the door way as a small hoard of kobolds come rushing in. They rush to all of you and form a semi circle around the party. You see there are 10 kobolds dressed in a nice small black chest piece and are brandishing a quiver of short spears. They all draw a spear as you all begin to hear the sound of metal footsteps heading in to the door. You see a man walk in wearing a black and blue full plate. He too is brandishing a spear of some kind. He walks up right up to you all and stands right next to a cowering Baron Torbin. In a deep voice he says boldy, "Ah Ha Ha HA...I see, Torbin, that the new recruits are graduating today. I guess I picked the perfect day to ransack your keep in the search for our amulet. It is my turn to test them. I am curious as how you all are going to stop us from destroying the world and I do like to play with my prey before I kill them. I will let you fight my pets here. If you some how succeed in defeating them, This globe will show you the city I am going to be heading to next. Win, you get a chance at me...Lose, and well you die here....Look at me really good recruits, This will be the only time I walk away from you. The next time we meet, I will eat you all for dinner." The knight stops speaking and places an orb on the table beside Torbin. In one fluid motion, The knight spins with longspear in hand and decapitates Torbin and he vanishes in a puff of blue smoke. The last thing you see is the emblem on his cape. It shows the following:  ((Everybody its combat time! Time to roll that good 'ole Initiative.)) |

Upon witnessing the senseless violence, a guttural growl erupts from Muraabar's throat. He shifts forward to be between the party and the kobolds. As he does so, he swings his massive greatsword free. You can see that the blade is etched with images of chains and religious symbols. Even as the armored man vanishes, Muraabar is bellowing a battle challenge. "Face me coward! This blood is on your hands and shall be paid for thrice over!" As he prepares himself for victorious combat, he racks his brain as to where he's seen that strange symbol before.

Muraabar: You recognize exactly what that is. Its the symbol of Tiamat The Mother of the Chromatic Dragons. The only reason you know what and who that symbol belongs to, runs fresh in to your mind. You will never forget that symbol while you live. You saw it every day on the banners of your slave owners. Every day when you were getting whipped by chains, that emblem sat upon the taskmaster's breast plate. When you were rescued by Helm's order, they helped you research who it belonged to. You have forgotten the man who helped you until you look to your right. In that moment, you realize that it was infact the same scaled man standing right next to you with a Scimitar in his right hand and his left applying a salve to his scales. He looks over to you and smiles.
"You saw it too...huh? The dragon mother's henchmen have arrived. Time to fulfill your destiny Muraabar. Let Helm's guidance help all in this room, and across Avelon!"
((I will give everyone tonight to post up Initative and will begin combat tomorrow when i get home.))

A small figure appears from behind Muraabar. She has on dark blue tunic with a hood pulled over her head. Senka raises her head slowly, you can see her green eyes flare with anger. She raises her bow, prepared to fight.

Hands raised, the tall slender cloaked man begins moving them in a deliberate manner while chanting something softly.

Here is the current initiative order:
Tressa - 21
King - 20
Shannon - 18
Caleb - 15
Josh - 11
Kobolds - 8
Matt - 6
Rachel - 3 (Crit Failure - Penalty: 4 kobolds are targeting you)
Everyone has 1 kobold currently targeting them except for Aluna who has four kobolds pointing spears her way. They currently think she is the weakest. I will allow everyone to post what they want to do and then i will compile and archive each post to form it into just 1 outcome post, then round 2 will begin and so forth.

Upon completion of his hand motions a small glowing stone(Magic Missle) appears between Andrew's hands and immediately flys forth, striking one of the Kobalds targeting Aluna.

Senka quickly releases an arrow when she notices the kobold heading towards her.

A fierce smile slowly spreads across Muraabar's face as he recognizes Solvis. "Yes, friend, let us stand together and defy the forces of evil. For Helm!" Muraabar leaps forward with a roar and heaves his sword up and over his head into a massive overhand swing aimed directly at the nearest kobold's head.
As that's probably a miss, I will just roll boring standard damage.
If that kills the kobold (and god, I hope it does), Muraabar will use his move action to dash over towards Aluna and take a stance between her and the approaching kobolds. As he moves, he glances back over his shoulder and gives a practiced nod to Senka, indicating that she should cover him as he plunges into the thick of battle
