Will save:
Gornak shivers in fright, but manages to keep his bowels in check. He moves past the grappled goblin (to J8) and attacks one of the goblin archers with his hook.
Growing weary of the goblin's assualt on himself and the town, Albrecht turns to his new target and proceeds to smack it around with his now-bloody foot.
I will handle the chanter, concentrate on the fire. Targeting the chanter again, Quar begins his mental assault.
Aylmora moves closer to gain a better view of the goblin chanter. Once she is close enough she raises her hand to point at the screeching goblin. The young woman focuses her will to fire a ray of freezing energy at the goblin; at the same time she allows her passion and emotion to rise to the fore, augmenting the power of her ray with a wild surge of psychic energy.
Hearing Hector's growl of pain, Lejes follows the sound to him, reaching lightly out to touch him.
"Lord of Winds, be a soothing balm to Hector's wounds."
"Hector, who else is wounded? I won't allow anyone else to fall to filthy goblin blades." Lejes says to Hector in a low voice.
Quar will have to move to around F9 or G10 to affect the warchanter. vs DC15. Aylmora also moves in and as the warchanter shakes off the metal assault her energy ray strikes him squarely and he tumbles to the ground, silent.
With one crushing blow Albrecht strikes down the remaining goblin he faces, and moves to attack the archer who dodges back.
Lejes casts cure light wounds on Hector.
Thanadros feathers his target with a second arrow, and this time the goblin falls. Gornak targets the goblin archer at I9 – the goblin leaps aside as the mighty blow splits the table in half. Hector squeezes remorselessly and the goblin struggles frantically to escape.
CMB: ... and fails to do so.
The remaining two goblin archers scream in fear as soon as the warchanter falls and run. The one that was in I9 makes a full withdrawel action, running down the road to the south. The one facing Albrecht is more tricky – dodging away (Albrecht gets AoO) he whips out his dog-slicer and running to O12 he slashes the remaining tether.
“Burn, big-folk babies, burn!” he giggles shrilly. “Cooked baby human – yum-yum!”
Horses’ Initiative:
On their action they will bolt, taking the burning cart with them to do untold damage if it isn’t stopped …
Gornak moves next to the horses (M10), drops his bloody hook, and tries to grab onto one of the horses for dear life.
grapple:
"Whoa there, horsies! We'll have that fire put out real quick now. Don't fret."
Thanadros Lets loose another arrow, this time at one of the fleeing goblins. He is not going to let one of these things get away.
Ranged Longbow /Damage
Not sure if it is within 30 or not.
Not wanting to hurt the animals, Quar moves within 25' of the cart and aims a crystal shard the the cart's wheel.
The crystal sinks into the wagon between two spokes, it doesn't disable the wheel but will make the wagon harder to move for this round until the crystal evaporates.
Albrecht joins Gornak in his attempts to retrain the horses by grabbing on to any available hand hold (reins and the like) and firmly holding on to try and prevent the horses from bolting
That does indeed take down the goblin before he can cut the tethers, and Thanadros' shot takes down the last as he flees. With the tethers in place and the wheel spiked, Gornak and Albrecht have the strength to hold the horses while something is done about the fire on the cart this round.
Hector's goblin goes limp in his crushing grip.
What are the others going to do about the cart? Douse it or pull the wood off it?
Lejes hurries closer to the cart and casts Create Water on the flames.
"Lord of Waves, lend again the Undine's strength!"
"Attend to that fire, quickly least you burn down the whole village! I will keep watch for mor eof these goblin scum." Quar shouts to the group.
Thanadros runs up to the cart, if there is still a fire he attempts to pull off anything with fire on it. if the cart itself is aflame he grabs a goblin and used its body to smother it.
Waiting for Aylmora to post actions for the last round. Can I have perception checks off Quar and Aylmora (if she decides to help keep watch) and also Handle Animal checks off Gornak and Albrecht.
Aylmora joins Quar in keeping watch for more goblin activity while the others see to the horses.
Handle animal:
Gornak clumsily tries to soothe the horses.
Gornak and Albrecht manage to hold the horses and calm them enough while the flames are both extinguished and pulled from the cart.
Aylmora and Quar can see and hear more commotion to the north of the square, where some of the goblins have retreated. You can see guardsmen to the south and east, and armed citizenry to the west of the square, but none to the north.
Lejes takes a few slow calming breaths after the last of the fires are extinguished and the burning cart no longer a danger to the town. Steadying himself, he listens around the area and says...
"Who else is hurt?"
Cure Light Wounds on Albrecht.
"Everyone gather close."
Once it's safe, Gornak drops the horse's harness and wipes his brow with the back of his hand.
"I'm okay, Father Lejes," Gornak replies as he picks up his hook. "That force thing that Mister Quar showed me worked pretty good, I reckon. Uh oh...it sounds like there are still some goblins about, though."
He focuses his attention on his garbage hook for a few moments (expend focus to manifest Metaphysical Weapon -- 2 minute duration -- then refocus) and then trots off towards the sound of the disturbance.
THANK YOU! Thanadros says far to loud to Lejes, obvious not used to blind people. He then readies and arrow in his bow and takes off after Gornak.

Hector winces slightly as the bleeding from his arm slows, but doesn't stop completely.
"Thank you. We shouldn't linger: there's more to the north," he says to the near blind priest. He goes to one of the fallen goblins and picks up a bow and a quiver of arrows. He then sets off towards the north at a run.
As, the part moves towards the rest of the goblins, Quar takes a quick moment to search the warchanter before heading off after the group "let us see if you have any clue as to why your here or where you came from. "
You find the goblin has an ordinary (human-sized) short sword, and a small phial of a clear pinkish liquid.
Pulling out the arrow and watching the wound close with Lejes's touch, Albrecht quickly nods his thanks to him before sprinting off to the north, following the others.
Ignoring the sword, Quar snatches the phial and tucks it away for later inspection. Now where did Gornack get too, Likely he's into all kinds of trouble without my supervision!" He then races off after the others.
Lejes follows the others, moving quickly to keep up with the rest of the group.
Aylmora follows after the others with Lejes, offering guidance to the near-blind oracle if needed.
Heading toward the north wall, you can see a savage fight taking place outside The White Deer: a goblin mounted on a goblin-dog (a large creature more closely related to a rat than a canine) is duelling with a hunting dog. Two other dead dogs and several goblin corpses are scattered nearby, and a small group of goblins are clustered under an abandoned wagon nearby, cheering on their champion. Cowering behind a water-barrel is a very well-dressed but unarmed man, clearly a minor noble and probably the owner of the dogs.
Even as you approach the dog falls to a blow from the mounted goblin's horse-chopper ...
(Map to follow later. Same initiatives as last time, Gornak will be at the head of the advance, Aylmora, Lejes and Quar will be bringing up the rear).
Filthy little beast men! Thanadros frowns when he sees the last poor dog fall. He then shoots the arrow he had redied at the gobilin riding the rat-dog-thing.
Ranged Longbow /Damage }Precise Shot
Gornak renews his force shield and advances towards the group of goblins.
"Damn! Is there no end to them? Where did they all come from?"
Lejes moves up and positions himself so he can try and heal as many members of the party at once without including any goblins in his Channel Energy radius.
Channel Energy
Seeing an unarmed civilian caught in the middle of the conflict, Albrecht quickly dashes into a position between the goblins and the unarmed man in an attempt to act as a guard.
"A goblin raid, how pathetic. Apparently they ahd no idea I was in town. Gornack, let's shows these cretins the power of the mind"
Ignoring the rider, Quar focuses on the slightly weaker minded mount. A wave of mental energy lashes out towards the riding dog.
Here is The Map.
There are ordinary goblins in E6-E9 just coming out from under the wagon, cheering their leader. The goblin in C7 is wearing superior armour. Assume the party enter in columns A, B and C. Aylmora, Quar and Lejes start on row 16, the rest of the party can count their movement from row 15.
Reminder of initiatives:
Goblins – 25 (gone)
Quar – 17
Aylmora – 11
Albrecht – 10
Lejes – 8
Thanadros – 7
Gornak – 6
Hector – 4
Quar advances to B13 to make his attack, goblin dog Will save . The dog screams and staggers drunkenly to it's knees.
Ride check: The rider kicks free of his stirrups and the dog, staying on his feet, the long horse-chopper weaving dangerously.
Albrecht moves to place himself between the goblin and his victim (B7), provoking an attack of opportunity:
Attack: Damage:
Albrecht can launch an attack or a charge if he wishes.
Thanadros’ arrow glances off the heavier armour this goblin wears.
Gornak ends his move at D10 after manifesting Force Screen.
Interposing himself between the unarmed man and the goblin, Albrecht proceeds to launch a quick strike at his foe, attempting to quickly disable him.
Aylmora moves to stand protectively in front of Father Lejes. Enraged by the goblins' slaughter of the dogs and threatening of the unarmed man, she focuses her anger on one of the goblins clustered under the wagon. With a scream of fury she fires a ray of freezing energy at the goblin; at the same time she allows her passion and emotion to augment the power of her ray with a wild surge of psychic energy.
Thanadros continues his rain of arrows at the "leader"
Close Ranged Longbow /Damage }Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot
Aylmora's eyes blaze frost-blue as a bolt of bitter energy narrowly misses the goblin-rider and sheaths the water-barrel in glittering frost.
Albrech rushes in and delivers a smashing blow that would have felled a lesser foe, but the goblin shrugs it off. Lejes healing burst revitalises everyone in the party - and this goblin in range, helping him recover from the blow.
Gornak lumbers in, and the goblin in E9 spins and lashes out with his dog-slicer: Damage:
Waiting for Hector.
OK, the forum ate my previous post it seems ...
