[spoiler]There's no roll for Lay on Hands...  You just spend a healing surge, and the target gets its healing surge value back.
You also get to add 3 to that.

I'd like to note that JM's mark will supercede Hughes's mark.[/spoiler]

All of you see Skarrandar move quickly and place his hands on the grievous wounds of the guardsman.  The dragonborn disciple whispers a prayer to Bahamut, and his hands begin to emit a faint, silvery radiance.
Skarrandar pauses for a moment, letting the mystical power work, then rises from his crouched position.
He then invokes Bahamut's power and cries out for Bahamut to help him render justice onto these beasts.

[spoiler]My Turn:
Eric, unless you clarify, I'm going to assume you choose not to use the shift 2 that you could have used.[/spoiler]

After falling under Skarrandar's platinum gaze, the kobold sandwiched between Darius and Telchar decides that tempting Bahamut (as his friend did) isn't a great idea, and spends some time, carefully positioning himself a little further away from the violent dwarf.

The kobold in the narrow alleyway toward the north starts at Skarrandar's cry of justice, but quickly regains his wits and takes advantage of Carric's quick glance backward.  He thrusts his spear forward, as he steps backward, and manages to put a nasty cut on Carric's hip.
[spoiler]Carric takes 7 damage.[/spoiler]

The last kobold, tired of trying to wait around in the shadows hurls himself at Darius, taking advantage of the half-elf's inability to guard himself on both sides.
The rapid attack catches Darius by surprise, and the tip of the kobold's spear buries itself in Darius's leg.
The kobold quickly pulls it out and leaps backward, before Darius has a chance to aim a strike at the runt.
[spoiler]You take 10 damage, and he shifts away.[/spoiler]

"Ungh, pathetic coward!  Try to flee from this!"

Darius chases the retreating Kobold, praying for luck as he swings his mace, ablaze with fire against the reptile.

[spoiler]Free Action - Channel Divinity: Divine Fortune
Move Action - Move as Shown
Minor Action - If hit with Opportunity Attack, Healing Word on myself.  (d6+7)
Standard Action - Use Avenging Flame (d20+5, 2d8+6 damage, +5 ongoing, half damage on a miss, no ongoing)

And no, didn't shift.[/spoiler]

As Darius dashes after the retreating kobold, the one to his back sees an opportunity to strike.  He launches his spear at Darius, but only manages to nick the cleric's upper arm.
As the kobold watches the spear fly, he is blinded by the platinum radiance that surrounds him and a burning force grips his chest.  Even though the radiance disappears, he will never see, or breathe, again.
[spoiler]Darius takes 2 damage, but the kobold dies.[/spoiler]

Darius quickly whispers a prayer to Kord and requests strength, which is granted.
[spoiler]You heal 9 damage.[/spoiler]

Reguvenated, he launches a vicious attack at the kobold, but doesn't get the solid hit that he's looking for, but it's still enough to open a few lacerations on the kobold's chest, where blood now seeps out.
[spoiler]The attack is a "miss" but he deals 8 damage and the kobold is bloodied.[/spoiler]

Carric slides forward, and strikes at the fleeing Kobold nearest him.

"You enjoyed torturing the townsfolk and yet you flee from our blade?"

[spoiler]
Slide 1 (north)
Sly Flourish: +7 to hit (vs AC), 1d4+5
[/spoiler]

Carric takes a step forward, weapon lowered at his side.  He speaks to the kobold, and just as the kobold lets down his defenses, Carric strikes, burying his dagger in the kobold's chest.  The wound is a very bloody one, and none of you are certain that he would survive even if he ran away now.
[spoiler]Critical hit for 9 damage.  The kobold is bloodied.[/spoiler]

Doriavan takes a step to the right, staring straight at the kobold he knocked around just a second ago.  He mumbles to himself, "Alright, time to bring on some more pain."  Afterwards, he slings a spell out behind the kobold, trying to engulf him in the broiling flames.

[spoiler]
Alright, so Scorching Burst centered behind the kobold.
Int vs Reflex.  1d6+4 dmg.
[/spoiler]

The ground behind the southern kobold erupts into flame as Doriavan finishes his short incantation.
The kobold, already weakened by the battle, simply cannot take the punishment, and collapses to the ground.

[spoiler]Chris hits for 10 damage.  The kobold dies.[/spoiler]

Telchar pauses for a second as he pulls one of his javelins out from behind his shield.
"'Ey, Carric, watch your head!"
[spoiler]I'ma chuck a javelin at the last kobold. +6 vs. AC for 1d6+3 damage.[/spoiler]

Carric turns just in time to watch the javelin whiz by his head.
The kobold looks shocked at the javelin flying right toward him, and he just barely manages to muster a jump over the hurtling death.
[spoiler]You missed, but only by a little.[/spoiler]

Checking to make sure the guard won't die if moved, Skarrandar picks him up and takes him into the bar.  As he turns around, he sees that his companions are doing fine, so instead of merely moving the guard inside, he asks the barkeep for a place to lay him.

[spoiler]Yeah, so no distance weapons- I can't hit that kobold.[/spoiler]

Willy pops up from behind the bar, and says, Just lay him on a table.  So, are all of the kobolds gone?

Meanwhile:
The last kobold, terrified and alone, lets loose a shaky attack that manages to nick Carric.  Then he drops the spear and starts to run away, turning his very vulnerable back on Carric.
[spoiler]Carric takes 1 damage, and can make an opportunity attack.
You have combat advantage.[/spoiler]

Shrugging off the attack of the lizard-man, Carric lunges forward, seizing the moment and plunging his dagger home.

1d20+6=17, 1d4=3, 2d8=11

[spoiler]End Initiative[/spoiler]

It was just the opportunity Carric was looking for...
He sinks his dagger into the kobold's shoulder, halting the creature's hasty retreat, then, as the kobold is jerked around to face him, Carric draws his dagger across the green, scaly neck, very clearly, very bloodily, ending the panicked life.

"Alright... I've got two very burning questions:
Is everyone alright, and why would three kobolds attack into a town?"
As far as clerics go... he's gonna be the very best, like no one ever was

[spoiler]There were four, for the record.[/spoiler]

Now that the noise and commotion of the battle has ceased, you begin to see the townsfolk coming out of barricaded stores and houses to look around.
You hear a cry of anger and despair as the owner of the shop that the kobolds destroyed finds the ruins that used to be his place of business.

Inside the bar, Willy is looking over the wounded guard.
He looks at Skarrandar and says, I'll take care of him here, you go make sure that there's nothing else out there.
Also, go find Jaedrus.  He's just down the street.

Catching his breath, Carric returns from the alley, brushing away any remnants of the Kobold which might remain on his person.

"I think I'm okay, nothing serious, just a few nicks and whatnot. What of the guard? Were any others hurt?"

[spoiler]
Carric was down by 9 hp, he's using a surge now to go up by 7.

8 surges remaining. Currently at 26 / 28 hp.

Telchar looks around at his new group of impromptu companions and notices that neither the dragonborn or the guard are outside.
"I'm alright, but Skarrandar's not here. I'd bet he took the guard somewhere and fixed him up."

Doriavan twirls his staff around driving it home into the ground.  "And that's why you don't mess with the mage." 

He looks at the other guys standing nearby.  "So, uh, guessing you have no idea why they did that either?"

"Hunger, desparation, bloodlust?  Who knows?  Maybe Jaedrus.  Seems to have a pretty good head. 
He and I are pretty good friends... hey Skaar, you alright in there?!"


Darius peeks inside the bar.

Some of the townsfolk come over and start to gather up what they can from the kobolds.
The tanner, you notice, is the only one who messes with the tattered hide armor, but others take the spears and the teeth.

A kid in his early teens brings Telchar's spear up to him and says, This is yours isn't it, sir?

If you look inside the bar, you can see Skarrandar and Willy looking after the wounded guard.
The guard is now bandaged up a little bit, and Willy is telling Skarrandar, We've done what we can for him now, but we should still get Jaedrus.  He's the expert in these matters.
