Now, wasn't that worth waiting for?

"I hear footsteps moving away from us down the hallway ahead. I think you are right A'loran, we need to split up and hunt them down."

Canas steps through the doorway and begins running after the fleeing foes.

Moving to H6, if one of them is within range use Eyes of The Vestige, if not continue moving to N4. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

1d6 ⇒ 1

A right yer be A'loran, I'm with yer, Rulf says as he stands and heads down the right passage while getting a firmer grip on his axe, hoping to sink it into that last gobos neck.

move action to stand then move action to run to K17

Rulf- I don't know why you thought you were prone, but I ran you double.

Kava hustles throught the doors, pausing briefly to see where Canas has gone before chasing after him, silver head tendrils trailing after her double move to J4; minor action active perception +2

Rulf - We'll say it's a minor action to stand from kneeling.
Kava - It's a standard action to look for something (PHB p.186), so let me know if you'd rather stop short to look.

Kava -

No further info for Canas or Kava after Perception checks.

Double move to K4. Action Point to use Deft Strike to move to M4 and throw shuriken at G1.

Deft Strike
+8 vs. AC; d6+4 damage
Move 2 sq before attack

Latro moves around the corner, pulls a shuriken, and throws it at the goblin archer.

"Now where did you get to Gobo? Ah....there you are. How's about a little bit of this!"

Latro comes barreling around the corner and, with a final lunge, whips a throwing star into the goblin. Latro hit G1 (21 vs. AC after -2 range) for 9 damage.

The goblin continues his retreat, launching an arrow at Canas before rounding the corner. G1 vs Canas' AC with -2 for concealment 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

1d6 ⇒ 4

double run to W16

Huffing and puffing Rulf sprints as fast as he can trying to get to the sounds of battle in the distance. I won't live it down if young Latro and Cannas kill more gobos than me he thinks to himself.

Without pulling out my battlemat, it looks like the earliest square characters in the top hall could get line of effect on G1 from is W3.

Rulf (30/36 hp; presents CA; -5 attacks) - 12

Canas runs down the hall and with a quick motion ethereal ropes wrap around the fleeing goblin, binding his spirit more than his body.

Double move to Z3 and spending an AP to use Fortune Binding on G(vs Fort). 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

2d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5) + 7 = 13

Canas quickly approaches the corner, and the goblin's screams echo through the monastary. Canas hit G1 for 14 (1 point curse damage), and G1 is bloodied.

Kava doesn't see any hidden foes.

Run to Z4.

"Good idea Kava! Let's not let the treacherous birdie get behind us."

"If he is a smart assassin we have just left him behind and taken his gobin bait. Stay alert to all sides"

The goblin flees to the south only to find a red-faced wheezing dwarf blocking his escape. The goblin reflexively lets loose an arrow at Rulf. G1 vs. Rulf's AC + CA - 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

1d6 ⇒ 4

G1 hit Rulf for 8 damage.

I'm getting married in less than 12 hours and then I'm heading out to Vegas! Don't expect a post for about a week.

Congratulations Ghetto, and all the best for your honeymoon.

I'll be patiently waiting for your next post.

Congratulations! Have fun, and good luck.

move to W17

Reckon you can critical hit throwing the bouquet? Or is catching it an opposed role? It's definatley a melee

As A'loran takes his place beside the wheezing dwarf, from behind the corner ahead appears the bird-man. He casually walks up to the dwarf and tries to jam his knife in Rulf's belly.

Bird-man vs. Rulf's AC 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Rulf's magic armor deflects the blade, and he straightens his bent back, a wicked gleam in the dwarf's eye.

Hi guys, I'm back. The honeymoon was spectacular, but I returned to work yesterday and was fired, so things are craptacular right now.

So, ye decided to show yer ugly beak again, when we let yer go earlier ah knew ye had some bird brained scheme in mind but ah had no idea we was facin a chicken till now. Rulf says with a glint of victory in his eye as he steps to the left.

Revenge is sweet for this dwarf as he looks to the heavens in a silent benediction and attempts to strike the Bird down. Be no never mind, I'm sure the pillow will feel just the same when yer feathers are in it no matter their colour.

move action shift to X15, free action for Divine Fortune, standard for Healing strike against B; Attack: +6 vs AC, +1 for divine fortune: total +7
Hit: 2d12 + 5 radiant damage, brutal 2, high crit, and the target is marked until the end of your next turn. In addition, I spend a healing surge.

PS glad to see your wedding and honeymoon were a great success and bummer about the job, hopefully something betters just around the corner.

Rulf swings big, but the divine energy simply dissipates as the crow sidesteps the blow. Rulf missed (2+7=9 vs. AC).

Canas rounds the corner and tosses a ball of fire at the goblin.

Moving to AD7 and using Hellish Rebuke on G1. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Following Canas' fiery bolt, Kava hustles around the corner towards to Goblin, shielding her comrades as she moves (moves to AD10)

Arcane flames briefly illuminate the goblin, doing no damage, but signaling Canas' location to Rulf and A'loran. Canas missed (12 vs. Reflex).

Latro moves to AC8, then uses Deft Strike to move to AC10 and looses a shuriken at G1.

DEFT STRIKE: move two squares before attacking; +8 vs. AC, d6+4 damage

Latro joins his companions in their assault on the goblin. He moves around the corner and looses a throwing star at the goblin.

"If I'm not mistaken gobby, you're escape has been cut off. Your treachery will be repaid with your death."

The goblin laughs as Latro's shuriken goes wide. Latro missed (12 vs. AC).

"Keep practicing, we'll come back when you're ready." the goblin chuckles before leaving Latro's sight. The goblin moves right up to A'loran and looses an arrow point blank. G1 vs. A'loran's AC 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 3 = 9
