No, it's prismatic colours as in a cone of colours blind and disorient the enemy, works just the same though.

I fire a fireball wand at the undamaged balista, then I drop down to the gate to help in the fight.

As good as his intentions are, tsaroth revels in the chaos of battle, despite his usual non-aggression and friendly demeanor. The feel of the combatspells invigorating him.

After firing the fireballs on the ram-carrying kobolds, Keenan casts False Life again (how many added HPs I have bow?), Shield, takes out his Greatsword (2d6+5 normal damage, 1d6 fire damage) and goes down to meet the kobolds.
(Using Power Attack to take +2 from attack to damage -> 2d6+7 + fire damage)

I continue firing arrows on the kobolds. I use point blank shot
and precise shot feats. I also try to sneak attack kobolds if
possible e.g. ram carrying kobolds.

I'm using Power Attack to take 3 off of my attack roles and put them onto damage roles (So damage will be d10+3+3) and is also using Great Cleave whenever possible.

Tsaroth readies an action to cast Wall of Fire in front of the gate if it collapses.

And he lobs a few more acid arrows into the Kobald army

Sorry. I've been gone all day.

Tsaroth uses the fireball wand to fire 2 fireballs on the ram carrying kobolds.

Keenan uses the Prismatic Color Wall wand (it is a prismatic wall, right?) and casts it in front of the kobolds.

(no, it's not wall). The kobolds go splat.

I fire a fireball wand at the undamaged balista, then I drop down to the gate to help in the fight.

It's toothpicks.

--

The damaged balista fires, the gates creat and twist on their hinges.

Dozens of grappling hooks and laddars are shoved up against the wall.[/quote]

(change previous post. Don'T go down, wait on wall for kobolds climbing up, rest stays the same...)

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-04 07:18pm

I lob a fireball at the last ballista

Then take out my rapier and start cutting ropes

"Cut the ropes!"

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-04 07:19pm

I help Tsaroth cutting ropes.

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-01-04 07:23pm

EDIT: no ladder. the trench dug around the wall prevents that.

-- You walk along the wall calmply cutting ropes. On the other side, kobolds swarm in.

--

The last balista explodes, and with it goes the kobolds last chance of breaching the gates.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-04 07:25pm

How far way are the kobolds swarming in? Are they on the wall?

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-01-04 07:27pm

They are coming from all directions, and yes, in some places, they are on the walls.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-04 07:36pm

Then I keep cutting ropes, watching the kobolds on the wall. WHen they'Re coming nearer, I turn towards them

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-04 08:02pm

I cast a hail of magic missiles(3 times) on the kobalds on the walls, each one having 2 misiles target it.

I then use standoff tactics with Acid arrow(it does additional damage per round, so all I need do is hit them with one, and they will be dead in a few rounds)

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-04 09:34pm

After the Last balista goes Boomy I go up on the walls, taking the men who were guarding the gate with me. When up there I cast magic missle having two missles target a kobold, and I whack any kobolds who have scalled the walls with my staff untill they fall off.

A Big Flying Fish · Post by **A Big Flying Fish** » 2004-01-05 08:54am

I'm running up to the nearest wall where the kobold's are, and start attacking, same Power Attack and Great cleave as before.

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-01-05 01:23pm

Your doing quite well, the kobolds are tough, but not THAT tough. And a great many of them fall as you cut the ropes.

--

As the kobolds see the defends abondoing the gate, the command motions with his hand.

A fifth balista, previously hidden, is rolled out it fires. And the gates creak and twist off their hinges.

The kobolds, seeing a open gate with no defenders, charge in.

A Big Flying Fish · Post by **A Big Flying Fish** » 2004-01-05 02:03pm

"ARGH. Why won't these blasted rats give up and die like good rodents." mutters Grozny, as he runs back to the gate, grabbing as many free defenders as possible to counter-attack.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-05 02:10pm

I stay up on the walls to take care of any kobolds coming over the wall that way.

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-05 04:36pm

I fireball the remaining Balista.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-05 06:18pm

Depending on what sort of things are around the gate, I cast wall of fire right behind where the door used to be(adjacent, but not touching on our happy grid system)

And, because they are going to pack into a group when they rush the gate... FIREBALL

...................damn intelleget players.

BOOM! Body parts eveywhere!

You firewall seals the gate, and the defenders kill the remaining kobolds. The battle is starting to turn against them........

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-01-05 06:50pm

Any kobolds left on the wall itself, or climbing up?
