EDIT: I forgot / missed that Brigitte killed the grounded goblin (and also forgot to move Brigitte). Ignore the strikethrough text.

EDIT: Brigitte's spear impales the grounded goblin. Meanwhile...

A door bursts open at the other end of the village (R19), and three goblins spill out: two with bows drawn, blades and shields on their backs - one with yet another firework tube in his hands. After throwing the door open, the pyrotechnic-wielding goblin hustles into the guard tower (P19), followed by the bowmen (P18 and Q18; all move actions).

The archers fire on Mirasha from the arrow slits (standard actions).

goblin's shortbow attack vs. Mirasha: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

goblin's shortbow attack vs. Mirasha: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

The small arrows rain down on the gate. Meanwhile, Ansirus' bolt strikes only the rooftop at the end of the walkway. At the same time, the grounded goblin (at F25) slashes at Thurgood's ankles (standard action) before stepping away from the platform (5-foot step to E25).

goblin's dogslicer attack vs. Thurgood: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
goblin's dogslicer damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Thurgood takes another 3 points of damage.

Giggling evilly, the goblin dances just out of reach (5-foot step to E25), throwing his bloodied dogslicer to the ground (free action) before drawing a goblin-made shortbow (move action).

Atop the walkway, the goblin takes a swipe (standard action) at Thurgood...

goblin's dogslicer attack vs. Thurgood: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
goblin's critical threat confirmation vs. Thurgood: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
goblin's dogslicer damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

...nicking the fighter's deltoid...

Thurgood takes 2 more points of damage. He should have 5 damage now.

...before stepping into the hall (5-foot step to H26), dropping his sword, then scooping up the unlit firework (at G26).

if you speak Goblin:
"OoooO! Fiiire is for Gtat now. Fiiiiiire."

Hooting and grumbling to himself, the goblin hugs the paper tube gently.

Picking an item up provokes from Thurgood, though the goblin has cover.

Thurgood's katana attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Thurgood's katana splinters a piece of the doorframe, but leaves the goblin untouched.

Ricardo, meanwhile, stamps urgently. He follows his orders, guarding the area, almost corralling Sarn's mule against the fence.

EDIT: Map re-updated.

Mirasha Sarn, and Thurgood are next, then it's a new round.


Male Human Fighter 1

Thurgood steps forward and slices at the goblin.

Damn goblins! How many of these things are hiding around here??

Five-foot step to 26G next to the goblin and attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Thurgood steps forward and slices at the goblin.

The goblin looks up at the shadow in the doorway just in time to catch Thurgood's blade between the eyes, cracking its skull. For the second time in under a minute, the still-unlit firework falls from a dying goblin's arms.

Mirasha and Sarn are next, then it's a new round. Map updated.

@ Thurgood: Remember to update your character sheet as you take damage.


Mirasha moves to the bottom of the ladder move action to 018 and attacks the goblin at the top of the ladder

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8


Male Human Investigator (Empiricist) 1

Sarn moves to I,26 if no goblins are visible in the open room then he will open the door at H,26

If goblins are visible he retreats to where he began and tells Thurgood and Brigitte their numbers.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Mirasha's attack only strikes the ladder. The goblin, a nasty-looking female with a web of scars on one-half of her face, squints down at her.

Map updated. Room is clear, Sarn.

Ansirus and Brigitte are next.


Brigitte moves up (H27) and opens the door.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

The door opens onto what appears to be a storage room of some kind. Sacks and boxes and mounds of junk, garbage, and dirt are piled against the walls with no suggestion of organization. Shelves, troughs, broken furniture, obscure tools, saws, pegs and boards, broken blades, hilts, knives, unfinished armors, wood piles, snapped bows, arrows, and fire-starting supplies litter the room.


Could use some help over here please


Male Ifrit Sorcerer (wishcrafter) 1

Ansirus moves to aid Mirasha Move action to L,19, firing an elemental ray at the goblin closest to him. p,19
Elemental ray vs touch: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 2 - 4 = 15
Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Ansirus' ray scorches the goblin with the firework. It staggers back with a blackened face and chest.

(The goblin at P19 is disabled at 0 hp.)

Reeling, the goblin drops his firework, drawing a dogslicer and brandishing it defensively as he staggers back and lurches around the corner (a move action takes the goblin around the corner and out of sight at R20).

Moving provokes from Mirasha, though the goblin has cover from her.

Mirasha's longsword attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Mirasha thrusts her blade at the retreating goblin, but can't get a clear shot. As she does, the goblin at the top of the ladder draws her bow and fires down at Mirasha (standard).

goblin's shortbow attack vs. Mirasha: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The arrow only sinks into the soggy ground. The ugly, scarred goblin hisses down at the aasimar, like a cat.

Meanwhile, the goblin in the corner - another grim-looking female with a shortbow - steps to the opposite wall (5-foot step to Q19) and takes a shot at Ansirus (standard).

goblin's shortbow attack vs. Ansirus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

The arrow careens off of the invisible mage armor surrounding Ansirus. The goblin stomps her foot, and throws her bow to the ground (free action), then scoops up the unlit firework (move action to pick up the firework at P19).

Map updated.

Mirasha, Sarn, and Thurgood are next, then its a new round.

A second thrust from Mirasha's longsword pierces the goblin archer through the chest. The goblin slumps backward, dying.

goblin's firework ranged touch attack vs. Mirasha (two range increments out): 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 4 - 2 = 6

The purple, chemical flames bounce harmlessly off of a hay bale, but the goblin grins evilly, seeming inspired now that the device is lit.

Outside, Ricardo listens eagerly to the sounds of the commotion within the village.

Map updated. Mirasha, Sarn, and Thurgood are up next.


Male Human Investigator (Empiricist) 1

Sarn moves to K,28 and opens the door for Brigitte and Thurgood.

The door opens onto another goblin dwelling. A small keg sits on a makeshift table. No goblins, though.

Across the village, the last standing goblin directs the firework at Mirasha (no action) and draws her dogslicer (move action) as she steps toward her "longshank" opponent (5-foot step to P19).

goblin's ranged touch firework attack vs. Mirasha: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 4 = 4

The purple flames whiz and sparkle past Mirasha, and the goblin jabs her sword at the aasimar's midsection (standard action).

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Ansirus' bolt hits the goblin just below the throat. She keels forward, dying. Her firework uselessly spouts alchemical fire into the air for a while longer, whistling and crackling whimsically.

The party is awarded 675 xp; or 135 xp each.


Mirasha moves towards Ansarius with a nod (move action to N19)

Thank you for the help

Then opens the door (move action to open door)

Of course. What are friends for?

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Sarn:
You can't hear anything. (Except for the last goblin's firework, whistling and sparking at the north end of the village.)


Male Ifrit Sorcerer (wishcrafter) 1

Ansirus makes his way over to the last doors T,24and waits for the melee fighters to open it.
Nice to see you guys made it through the long way.


Mirasha follows Ansirus then passes him to approach the doors V,24, waiting with sword drawn for Thurgood to take Sarn's place.


Brigitte moves next to Sarn and opens the door at U24.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Brigitte finds the door locked or barred; it doesn't give.


Male Human Investigator (Empiricist) 1

I'll handle the door.

Sarn takes out his thieves tools and sets to work

You roll this correct oh great one? Mod is +4

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Sarn's Disable Device check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Sarn uses his tools to lift some sort of bar up and out of alignment on the other side of the door, working a thieves' tool between the doors to manipulate whatever bars it.

You can hear the bar clatter loudly to the ground on the other side of the door. Several small voices scream.

According to Disable Device, checks are meant in secret only if disarming a trap or something similar.
