Lisabett looks ahead of her at her three companions and the one goblin that she can see, then behind her, and when she sees that Raziel is absent.
to speak to the group ahead of her. "Be safe!"
Lisabett steps back to position F10
Lisabett attacks the goblin threatening Raziel using the reach of her spear if it hits, it deals damage.
The goblin avoids the point of Lisabett's spear.
Goblin 1 is dead.
Goblin 2 is dead.
Goblin 3 has fled.
Goblin 4 is dead.
Goblin 5 lights a torch and moves to , holding the flame to the back of the red cylinder. Sparks begin to shoot out the back of it.
Goblin 6 is unconscious but stable.
Back me up Sorin... Alazandaru says quickly as he rounds the corner and moves to F18, hoping to disrupt the strange weaponry the goblin's plan to use. Eyeing the cylinder warily, he stabs at its holder, ramming his as yet unused third dagger into the goblin's chest.
Crit threat
Damage (whetstone)
Crit unconfirmed
"Thanks, Lisabett," Raziel gasps out, finally facing the goblin fully. He slices with his scimitar, trying to bring the fight to an end and catch up with his companions.
Alazandaru's dagger punches through the goblin's ribcage and into the heart. The red cylinder falls, pointing...
Northeast!
Raziel's stroke slices open the goblin's belly, but the creature does not fall.
The right door of the southwestern hut is already open (several goblins poured through it moments ago). Almar moves inside it to , right next to the other door, which is closed.

Stealth:
Chief Gutwad -
Chief Gutwad attempts to move stealthily (). He ends his double move in .
Sorin quickly looks around. He knows there are more goblins but can only see the one by Alazandaru. Slipping by Alazandaru he swings his warhammer at the goblin.
Move to and attack.
You hear the crunch of bone as the goblin falls to Sorin's blow.
Goblin 7 is dead.
Goblin 8 is dead.
Goblin 9 is dead.
Goblin 10 is dead.
Goblin 11 is dead.
Goblin 12 slides his shield off of his arm, then uses that hand to hold his entrails in place. His eyes glow with demonic fervor. Unlike many of his fellows, this one knows no fear. Letting out a furious howl, he attacks Raziel again.
If it hits, it deals points of damage.
Lisabett meets the goblin's fury with a song of her own. and then lays into it with her spear once again, but it dodges her attack.
if it hits, she will deal
Goblin 1 is dead.
Goblin 2 is dead.
Goblin 3 has fled.
Goblin 4 is dead.
Goblin 5 is dead.
Goblin 6 is unconscious but stable.
But...
This turn still matters, because the rocket goes off. Fortunately for Alazandaru and Sorin, it is aimed NE of it's current position in , so it does not get stuck and blow up where it is. The rocket shoots off with a high-pitched scream, slamming into the central, eastern hut. As you look at the singed mark the explosive has left, you notice that smoke has begun to rise from the inside. A firework did go off in there moments ago...
Alazandaru advances round the corner warily, hustling carefully, quietly and poised for trouble.
[ooc]Combining total defence (AC21) with stealth and a single move to C15. Can I see the Chief from there now? Regardless, my turns over.
(Stealth at -5 for full speed)
Round 7
Raziel swings again at the goblin, hoping that no one else is injured while he is occupied here.
"Lisabett, where are the others?" he asks. "We should not get seperated too far, or I might not be able to reach them if they need me."
Chief Gutwad -
Lisabett -
Raziel -
Stealth:
Chief Gutwad -
The focused hatred in the eyes of the howling goblin is evident even as Raziel gracefully separates head from shoulders with a flash of his scimitar.
Alazandaru pads along the walkway, quickly but quietly, to a position of cover. He peers around the corner and sees Chief Gutwad, nocking an arrow to his bowstring. But looking to the left, Alazandaru notices a door swing open.
Almar: Stealth check -
A crack of thunder sounds as Almar fires his pistol. Though there has been some talk of the device, you don't think you've ever seen one fired. The sound rings throughout walls of the tiny village.
Attack -
If it hits, it deals points of damage.
The bullet catches Chief Gutwad in the leg. He shrieks in pain and surprise, revealing his position to Lisabett and Raziel. He was just behind a nearby hut, taking aim...
Round 8:
Gutwad
Sorin
Lisabett
Alazandaru
Raziel
Almar
Gutwad maintains concentration long enough to loose an arrow at Lisabett.
If it hits, it deals points of damage.
He then moves through the door that Alazandaru left open moments ago, hopping gingerly over the goblin lying bandaged on the walkway. He ends his movement in .
Sorin starts at the sound of the pistol being fired but realizes quickly what it must be and dashes off in that direction. Rounding the corner he doesn't any goblins but does see the open door at the end of the walkway.
Double move. First to then to .
Lisabett looks down the length of the walkway, and just catches Sorin moving away and hisses. "I can see no one, Brother," she answers in heavily accented Common, as though her voice is suspended in her song. "I will watch for you while you find them."
Lisabett will take a 5-foot step and end her movement in E10 freeing Brother Holheim to walk down the walkway on his turn, if he chooses.
Lisabett turns and returns fire in the direction that the arrow came at her from, casting centered on A9. It is a Fortitude Saving Throw to resist being dazzled, DC 15.
Gutwad's Fortitude Save -
The chief cries out in surprise, but does not succumb to the spell's effect.
Alazandaru races impetuously into the hut, a little overconfident at his many victories against the Goblins thus far. Stepping over the female Goblin he subdued, he slashes at the Goblin with his dagger, adopting a position in B10 where the Chief will struggle to fire his bow. He stumbles over the arm of the female as he attacks, his dagger meeting nothing but air.
Raziel turns to see Lisabett fire into the hut behind them, and then Alazandaru run in and attack someone.
Guessing that is where the fighting is now, Raziel runs into the hut also.
Spotting the goblin Chief in the corner, he slashes with his scimitar.
Chief Gutwad does not expect Raziel's entrance, and but he takes notice of the scimitar that bites into his arm.
"Gergh! Humans dead soon!"
Almar rushes out of the southwestern hut and up the walkway, leaping down into the mud and continuing underneath. He ends his movement in .
Round 9:
Gutwad
Sorin
Lisabett
Alazandaru
Raziel
Almar
Gutwad secures his bow on his shoulder and pulls out his spear, taking a 5-Foot Step (to ) in the process.
Seeing the crowded hut, Sorin dashes the other way. Double move to sheathing first his warhammer and then his shield along the way. His eyes are fixed on where he jabbed his glaive into the ground.
Recognizing that she is particularly ineffective in combat, Lisabett will spend the three squares to climb down the ladder adjacent to her, and end her movement in C8. She will ready an action to attack Chief Gutwad if he tries to escape from the hut.
The young rake eyes the spear warily and attempts to dive past the Chief (moving to C9 then B8), making a risky leap in return for a possible flank...
Acrobatics VS Chief's CMD
Alazandaru readies an action to plunge his dagger into the Chief's back the moment Raziel is in a flanking position.
Raziel moves over to attack the goblin chief directly.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Gutwad is a ferocious blur, and Alazandaru's blade scrapes chain links rather than flesh. Raziel's scimitar has different luck. It is as if the Dawnflower herself guides its strokes, for it cuts deeply into the goblin once again.
With a practiced hand, Almar places a pinch of black powder into his pistol, along with a bullet. He snaps the device shut, and hustles to the nearby ladder, pulling himself up onto the walkway. He ends his movement in .
Round 10:
Gutwad
Sorin
Lisabett
Alazandaru
Raziel
Almar
Chief Gutwad takes a careful step to . He pulls a potion from his bag, and drinks it.
Taking in the situation, Sorin abandons his first thought and redraws his warhammer as he moves. Move to and attack.
Lisabett will continue to ready an action for if the chief retreats through her threatened square.
"Has he fallen?" Lisabett inquires. "We must attend to this burning hut. I don't wish its smoke to become a signal to call more enemies to us."
Sorin's hammer crashes solidly into Chief Gutwad. He lets out a muffled grunt as he spits out a stream of blood, but he does not fall.
Alazandaru attacks with both daggers, but neither one lands a hit on the agile Goblin.
Raziel again strikes out at the goblin chief.
'He's a tough one,' he thinks, 'Sarenrae guide my blade.'
Almar steps forward (to ) and opens the door, jamming his pistol around the corner and firing at the chief.
If it hits (Touch AC), it deals points of damage.
The thunderous crack of gunpowder seems to stop reality for a moment, so jarring is the noise. The bullet misses its mark, but leaves a gaping hole in the wall of the hut. Chief Gutwad screams.
Round 11:
Gutwad
Sorin
Lisabett
Alazandaru
Raziel
Almar
Gutwad eyes take on a desperate look. He clearly fears Almar's strange weapon. He turns his attention to the nearby door, and Sorin, who stands in his path. He attacks with his spear.
If it hits, it deals points of damage.
Fearing that the cornered goblin may become even more dangerous Sorin, as a Move action Readies his shield , and takes another swing.
"Surrender!" Sorin shouts as he swings, "and you may be shown mercy!"
Gutwad drops his spear and backs into the corner. "Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! Dead men leave! You leave too!"
Lisabett looks to her companions, and swings her spear back onto her back. "If any of you are of the same concern as I, we should work together to extinguish the fire," she states, and moves towards the burning hut.
If needed
Lisabett will organize an effort to staunch the flames. She will look through adjacent huts for any manner of container to fill with water to collect from the pool to splash on the fire, and will welcome any assistance in her endeavor. On the grounds, she ask direct whomever assists her not to step through the greatest concentration of tracks, so that she might follow them later, when their task has been completed.
There are some rusty, iron pots near the pit where the goblin bodies were burned. It looks as these and other cooking implements they were set aside to accommodate the pyre.
Lisabett grabs as many pots as are available and fills them with water from the pond. If there are handles on them (as you said they were used for cooking on a pyre I will assume so) she will run her spear through the handles, and then kneel and lift her simple apparatus up behind her neck, balancing the weight of the pots on her broad shoulders as she approaches the walkway. Lisabett sets then kit down on the walkway, then climb up using the ladder, and invites any who wish to assist her to take a bucket, or even two to staunch the flames. When moving, she will avoid the heaviest concentration of tracks, as mentioned above, and she will continue this method of bringing water from the swamp, even if it is time consuming, unless someone else comes up with a viable alternative.
Alazandaru acts as guard for the Chief, keeping his daggers close at hand and warning the Goblin if he moves, he dies.
He also makes Raziel aware of the stabilised Goblin he took down in the north-west hut.
While Lisabett makes some progress against the growing fire, it becomes clear that she will not be able to stop the fire alone.
Chief Gutwad sits down in the corner, watching Almar fearfully.
Lisabett barely seems to break a sweat as she struggles to douse the flames. She pauses for a moment at the ladder before making a subsequent climb to address the group.
"I do not intend to rush you, but if there are any additional foes in this swamp, I should not like to meet them in a breached compound, in unfamiliar territory, in the dark after these fireworks and this fire's smoke have lent themselves to such a fine signal of our position."
Raziel looks at his wounded companions, and again releases the healing powewr of Sarenrae.
He then checks on the downed goblin that Alazandaru had mentioned.
