| Tunder Stonepeak |
Tunder is angry that Barek took down the goblin first. Then he sees Mirela being menaced. Tunder slides over to help her by removing the goblin's head from its shoulders.
Waraxe w/fav enemy, hatred, power attack
To Hit 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 21 To Hurt 1d10 + 3 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 3 = 13
| DM DoctorEvil |
Hurray, 200 posts! Nice work, Tunder! Here is the revised initiative order again for the new page. Noticeably absent are the goblin corpses littering the ground. Will summarize and close round once Thorn and Aziza post.
20 Mirela *
20 Seldon *
17 Barek *
16 Yellow Goblin (hit by Magic Missle) *
13 Thorn
13 Tunder *
11 Red Goblin (torch)
7 Aziza (mage armor activated)
| Aziza Plumbockett |
Watching several of the goblins die under the blades and fists of her friends, but seeing them wounded in return, Aziza feels frustration that her magic can do so little to aid them at her current level of mastery. Moving up to stand between Thorn and Barek, the two tallest warriors present, she stretches out her pointed finger at the goblin still menacing the blood splattered Seldon. "D'ul gaag xuia ftussfta luatha ur hu'ta thus!"
Elemental ray (electricity), ranged touch attack 30': 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 4 = 9
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Unfortunately she has almost certainly missed with that attack roll thanks to the -4 penalty for using a ranged attack into melee. :(
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
Thorn sees that the last goblin nearby will be overcome soon enough, he needs to stop that fire goblin from spreading more fire!
He charges forward, the tent he goes over should be on the ground and in smoldering flames by now. He likely is focusing on the flames and to not get his footing in the burning linen. That his swing goes very wide, but should get the attention of the goblin. "I will get you foul creature, just wait."
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 attack with charge, 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 damage. Ahhhh miss. AC still 16.
| DM DoctorEvil |
Round 2 - continued
Tunder the dwarf ranger's axe sings out and the goblin that struck at Miri feels its head roll to the ground moments before its body realizes. With a sickening crumple the rest of the thing falls dead.
The heroic tattooed elf tries to stop the pyro goblin (aren't they all?) by charging across the open space. Careful to avoid the burning canvas tent, Thorn's elven blade misses the goblin, but does succeed in getting his attention.
Sparks fly from Aziza's fingers as she goes to fry the same target her Magic Missle blasted a few seconds before. Unfortunately, with the twists and turns of melee combat, her arc of electricity passes around Yellow Goblin harmelssly.
End Round 2
Two more goblins bite the dust. Seldon takes another wound and is still threatened. Tunder removes a threat to Miri, and Thorn runs after the flame wielding goblin. All very exciting!. Perhaps Round 3 will end it?
| Mirela Malvo |
Again, apologies for the delay... first chance I've had today.
Gripping her wounded side, Miri quietly curses herself for her lack of grace under pressure. Looking over to Tunder, Mirela gives a smile and a nod as thanks.
Round 3: Move action to behind gold goblin, attack.
Quickly regaining her footing, Mirela moves to aid Seldon.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1
My crappy rolling goes on unabated...
| Seldon Swiftheel |
Seldon presses his palm against his ribs, blood soaking through his cassock. He does not wince, but when he examines the blood there is a distant, cloudy expression on his face. "Tch... You'll pay for that one, creature." he says, adopting a defensive posture and dancing around in the creature's blind spot, waiting for his allies to strike. "End of the road..."
Total Defense: AC 16
I'm planning to save my heals until we're out of combat. Especially seeing I'm relying on Channeling. We want these gobbos to bleed out first. Also I promise to cast bless next combat just for you, Mirela.
| DM DoctorEvil |
Round 3
The Goblin invasion continues. The crazed menaces run hither and thither burning, slicing, and wreaking havoc. Near the church entrance, a small skirmish breaks out between a few town guardsmen, led by Sherriff Hemlock, and more goblin fools. A frightened child runs through the courtyard crying. An elderly man starts peeping his head out from behind a fallen table. The destruction of dozens of crazed goblins suffuses you on all sides. The goblins chanters break out into their last tortured verse:
"Chase the baby, catch the pup.
Bonk the head to shut it up.
Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed,
We be goblins! You be food!"
20 Mirela *
20 Seldon *
17 Barek
16 Yellow Goblin (wounded)
13 Thorn
13 Tunder
11 Red Goblin (torch)
7 Aziza (mage armor activated)
Mirela watchs with satisfaction as Tunder decapitates the pestering goblin and circles behind Yellow in order to finish him off also. To her chagrin, her dagger goes stray of the mark again as the slippery creature avoids her sneak attack.
After taking that second wound Seldon turns from an offensive posture to defensive. He parrys a knife thrust with his starknife and attempts to keep his guard up, distracting the goblin, until his nearby companions can offer succor.
His knuckles bloody and bruised already, Barek comes around on wounded Yellow with a a right hook, looking for the killing blow.
Fist of Fury: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Unfortunately, his feet tangle this time, and his blow comes up short of hitting the little bugger.
Yellow seeing the array of enemies aligned against him and no way to escape, screams in frustration and launches a ferocious attack against Tunder, who just decapitated his buddy.
Yellow's flailing attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage to Tunder: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
The unexpected ferocity catches Tunder unprepared a bit, and the first blow gets inside his defence and punctures his shoulder. But the dwarf recovers in time to ward off the killing stoke that came right behind and resumes his attack stance with a minor flesh wound.
Goblins continue to scratch at you guys. Time for Tunder and Thorn to end things.
| Aziza Plumbockett |
Trusting in Tunder to finish off the now surrounded Yellow goblin, Aziza dashes forwards past Barek towards where Thorn menaces the pyromaniac goblin by the burning tent, but she makes sure to stay out of the Yellow goblin's reach. Positioning herself so that she can potentially see either of the two remaining goblins, she's ready to try and finish off either of them should her companion's attacks fail.
Elemental ray (electricity), ranged touch attack 30': 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 4 = 13
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Remind me to pick up Point-blank Shot and Precise Shot sooner than I originally intended: that -4 penalty for ranged attacks into melee is frustrating.
| Tunder Stonepeak |
RD 3
"This one's got spunk. I hate spunk." Tunder chops the goblin down.
Waraxe: hatred, power attack, favored enemy
to hit 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 - 1 + 2 = 22 Damage 1d10 + 3 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 3 + 2 = 10
He then looks for another goblin to kill.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 fav enemy
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
***Round 3***
Thorn frustrated about everything, the goblins, the fire, the omen. Thorne focuses his emotions into his devastating strike to fell the evil creature before him.
Please bot my roll, phone posting is a pain with rolls and this is my third time trying to put this post up!
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
Yay! A computer and internet at the same time!
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 attack, 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage. "Aaaaggrrhhh! Stop moving you pesky little runt!" Thorn says as he misses again.
| DM DoctorEvil |
Sorry for the all day absence, I was in domestic project hell today. Don't ask...
Fresh off his decapitation of one goblin, Tunder looks for another notch in his axe-handle. He swings with abandon, and connects with the wounded Yellow the axe biting deep in the brute's neck and shoulders. With a scream the goblin flails and falls.
Trying to match the dwarf and end the fight, Thorn makes a mighty swing with his elf-blade trying to carve the fire-wielding goblin. But he hits only smoke and air, as the goblin steps away.
I realize now, Red Goblin got skipped last round. We can surmise he was mesmerized by the flames, I suppose.
Red Goblin, still holding the firebrand but now under attack, snaps back to attention, and seeing the tattooed elf, swings his flaming torch at him.
Red Goblin torch: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
Thorn successfully dodges the torch. As he does so, an arc of crackling blue energy shoots around his side and hits Red adding the smell of roasted goblin to the sensory inputs all around you. With a dying chortle, the final goblin attacker, smoking, falls over dead.
End of Combat
Nice work! Everyone is awarded 113 XP's for killing the 5 goblins. You may now post in turns instead.
| DM DoctorEvil |
Dusk, 1 Rova 4707 Absalom Reckoning - First Day of Fall
The Dawn that broke with such promise and expecation has turned to misery as Sarenrae's Gift sinks slowly into the Varisian Gulf. Sandpoint is burning and goblins run amok.
While the immediate threat to your person seems to be ended, the threat to Sandpoint continues unabated. Goblins still scamper through the town chasing citizens. Wounded and dying people litter the ground. Smoke rises from many nearby building. The shouts and clash of a determined defense rises from the just north of the church steps. There Sherriff Hemlock and Father Zantus lead a mix of acolytes and town guard trying to keep the invaders out of the church itself.
The burning tent may still have folks inside, there are wounded people and dead goblins near you. Goblin song continues, a little louder now to the south. Amidst the chaos, you take the measure of yourselves and rise to the occasion.
I guess you get the idea. Tell me what you do next?
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
With my blade still clean, I don't need to clean it. I will go to a nearby burning tent and rescue those within by telling them to get out, if a goblin pops up Thorn will attempt to kill it, but he will protect and follow his new friends.
| Seldon Swiftheel |
Seldon takes a despairing look at the smouldering festival grounds, flames reflecting in his eyes as he sees the vanquished goblins to their final slumber and beckons the others toward him, clutching his holy symbol and closing his eyes. "Desna, tel'andelu naa anedraith enni." he says, as bright blue starlight glows between his fingers and the pain of his wounds leaves his expression. "Go! I will see to the wounded!" he says, hurriedly trying to save as many souls as he can, rushing to the side of the nearest of the wounded.
Channel Energy - 30ft.: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Next Round:
Standard Action: Heal
First Aid (DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Move Action: Move to the next of the wounded.
| Aziza Plumbockett |
Aziza pauses a moment amid the chaos of the disrupted festival and tries to determine where the nearest yelling in Goblin and sounds of fighting are coming from.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
"This way! The next nearest group of Goblin voices is coming from over this way!" She yells to the others, starting to scamper off in that direction, hoping that some of the biggun fighters will follow her.
Aziza doesn't know how to heal, she has no useful magic for rescuing folks from burning tents, and she's angry at the goblins. She's just going to look for more of the little buggers to try and kill.
| Barek Hisdren |
Barek looks at the bodies of the goblins as well as the remnants of the fun festival happening only moments ago. "Nasty things." He spits on the one of the goblins. He turns toward the direction Aziza indicates, but then the blaze of the fire catches his eye.
"We have to put out the fire! And the church us being overrun too! Help us here first, Aziza. Then we'll go hunt them down!"
Barek runs over to help Thorn put out the fire or rescue those inside.
| Aziza Plumbockett |
Pulled up short by Barek's sensible words, Aziza stops her headlong plunge towards the other goblins she can hear nearby, and turns back to the rest of the group. All that she can think to do is use Mage hand to start plucking burning bits of debris off other tents and the thatching of nearby buildings before they catch fire too.
Now that Barek has interjected and halted Aziza's rush to find more goblins to kill, she'll try and help with stopping fires and saving townsfolk, but her small stature and limited spell selection mean that she won't be all that useful in these circumstances, unfortunately.
| DM DoctorEvil |
As Priest of Desna, Seldon calls on the Dreamer to heal and help him and all around. As the blue light suffuses the area, a swirl of the Swallowtails forms and lands atop the elven wanderer. Perching on his arms, head, shoulders, they also are covered in the healing magic and take a small amount to all within the 30' circle. As the little glowing butterfly lands on each of you, you feel the pain of your wounds eased and the strength flowing back into your limbs.
All PC's are back to full HP, except Seldon. Even a few wounded townsfolk are helped by the channeling. I've been waiting to spring that butterfly image...too cool to leave alone.
Thorn and Barek, with a "hand" from Aziza, rescue the folks trapped inside the burning tent. Seldon moves to nearby injured people, binding wounds and salving hurts.
There continues to be a clash of some kind around the northside of the church steps. The dim light and the smoke makes it hard to see exactly who or what is over there, but you hear the clash of weapons, the maniacal giggling of goblins, and the shouts of men.
To the south beyond where you sat at feast, you hear a shout (was that Ameiko's voice) and the goblin chant beginning again. The flash of light and the scream of a goblin follows.
On occasion, a random goblin sprints through the churchyard, off to some unknown mayhem but none stop to threaten you directly.
| Barek Hisdren |
"Thorn, Aziza, check on the Sheriff! He may need help at the church. I'll follow Tunder to see what's happening to the south."
Barek barely gives them time to answer before running after the dwarf.
| Seldon Swiftheel |
Seldon looks up from his work, as Thorn comes into his view. Fixing the bandage tight he stands up, abandons his work, clasps his kinsmans face in both hands and peers at him through narrowed eyes, which widen with delight. "Hadrim! Nae saian luume'! Cormamin lindua ele lle!" he says, pulling him to a rough embrace. "How do you fare, brother? How many seasons has it been? What in the Dreamer's name are you wearing?"
As quickly as the barrage of questions comes, his expression turns grave. "There's time for reunions later." he says, chidingly. "There is a battle to be fought. Go!"
| Aziza Plumbockett |
"Sa' rloaiy yrch, sa' roll rloagha rlassaros..." Aziza mutters under her breath, before turning to Thorn. "So let's go find the Sheriff and his men and see if they need help. I haven't got any better ideas. After you, I'll keep up as best as I can!"
| Mirela Malvo |
Feeling the healing powers of Desna wash over her, Mirela stops gripping her side with a hint of wonder in her eyes. Glancing over at Seldon, the Varisian girl nods appreciatively before looking towards the others.
Running up alongside Thorn and Aziza, Miri nods quickly and exclaims "C'mon then!" Without awaiting an answer, Mirela bounds off quickly towards the church.
| DM DoctorEvil |
Seldon continues his work of caring for the wounded (several) and dying (of which there are thankfully few). Hearing the sound of goblins increase from the south you look up from tending a small gash on a child's forehead, only to see...
Tunder and Barek move south towards the sound of a fight. There they see in the flickering firelight, a group of townsfolk, led by the Lady Amieko, Lars, and the grizzled man from the Goblin Toss game, holding off a small group of goblins. It appears they are turning the tide, and giving it to the whelps pretty good. Just as you are close enough to consider real aid, you see...
Thorn, Mirela, and Aziza run towards the shouts and clashes around the church. Getting close enough to see by firelight, they find the Town Guard chasing back a group of goblins. Sherriff Hemlock turns to them to speak, but his eyes widen in horror, his finger raises pointing. Turning aburptly, fearing the worst, you see...
Ok, enough already, get to the next post and find out.
| DM DoctorEvil |
A large fireball erupts to a point just south of the Cathedral's western entrance. Near you, someone (Amieko, or Hemlock, or a wounded soldier) says: "Dear Gods, no! That's the fuel for tonight's bonfire. With that they can burn the whole town! You must stop them!"
Need DC 17 Perception checks from all, may not take 10 this time. Anyone with Darkvision may take +4 bonus, low-light vision +2, Tunder gets additional +2.

Explosions in Sandpoint! Goblins on the loose! Cathedral in danger, once again. Time to get kick more goblin butt.

3 Tunder
After igniting a cask of oil and causing the explosion, all the base goblins grab staves of wood, igniting them in the oily flames. The singing Goblin starts up her song from the beginning again, stirring the other into a frothing-at-the-mouth frenzy (not that they needed much help.)
Sorry, gang, combat is never over at a Desna Fest. Looks like it's Miri and Seldon again to start for the Good Guys, IF they made Perception checks.
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
Thorn embraces his kinsman, to see him once again makes his spirit soar, though once again no time for reunions. "Come with us it looks like you have stabalized them and we will be needing a healer, plus I don't want to lose you now that we have found each other again." Thorn won't force Seldon to come but hopes his words will impact him. Thorn pulls a dagger on the way to the Sheriff.
| Seldon Swiftheel |
Perception (low-light): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
"Tanya awra!" the elf exclaims, shielding his eyes from the blinding light. Ears ringing, he picks himself up, eyes darting around wildly with starknife at the ready.
| Aziza Plumbockett |
Perception: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6
Perhaps because she was already turning to see what the sheriff was pointing towards, the sudden glare of the fireball erupting from the ignited fuel catches Aziza unprepared, and she has to spend precious seconds blinking away the afterimage...
"Gisruh cersu aull yrch aunk shuor lizu if foru!"
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Through luck alone, Thorn was not looking when the blast went off, though he looks to see the many figures around him. Thorn... quickly moves in the ambush round, to get between Miri and the goblins. "There is a whole slew of the filthy beasts over next to the fire!" Thorn points with the dagger in that direction.
| DM DoctorEvil |
Going to roll Mirela's perception and/or give her surprise round action, so we can keep moving.
Mirela's Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
She is unable to see anything but the blast of the exploding fuel.

Round 1 In which the goblins burn many things, and the heroes come running.
I'm not sure any of are closing into melee range this time, so I'll post for all goblins below. Will rewind if someone surprises me.

3 Tunder
The Goblins (Blue, Red and Yellow) separate and fan out using their burning staves to spread fire to any nearby flammable material. White Goblin scares a small cat out from under the porch of nearby building. Moving with startling speed the nasty beast immolates the poor cat who is engulfed in a writhing mass of flames. A small child wails in terror.
Lime Goblin also begins the fire spreading while the Purple chants sing-song lyrics stoking the lesser goblins to a fury.
Tunder has prior round action, and Mirela starts us off. Go ahead and post yours out of sequence, especially if it's move only.
| Seldon Swiftheel |
"Stay here, boy. Out of sight." the elf says gently, shielding the small child until he's well and sure the inferno has died down. He stands up, dusts himself off and hustles into the middle of the square, saying a short, elven prayer to Desna as his holy symbol glows blue.
Casting bless. Everyone within 50ft (should be everyone) has a +1 to their attack rolls. I tried to experiment with the shape tools to show the spell area but... things got messy. I'm sure the goblins have nicer bonuses right now, but at least you won't have to endure Seldon singing?
| Aziza Plumbockett |
I'm reading what Doc just posted as saying we should go ahead and post intended actions for Round 1 of the next fight?
Once she has blinked away the afterimage of the blazing wagon, Aziza sees Thorn dashing forwards, and moves to follow him before realizing that the stairs to the speakers platform are nearby. She heads for the platform, intending to use it to gain a height advantage and to make it more difficult for any goblins to assault her.
Once atop the platform, if she can see the singing goblin, Aziza will use another Magic missile to try and shut her up. Otherwise she will move forward another 20' atop the platform to get close enough to use her remaining Elemental rays
Magic missile damage to Purple Goblin if in LOS: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
If the Purple Goblin really is doing a Mariah Carey impersonation SHE MUST DIE! Also I'm really beginning to wish Aziza hadn't left her light crossbow at The Rusty Dragon...
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
*Round 1*
Thorn takes a quick move forward continuing towards the goblins, he uses his momentum to throw his dagger at the yellow goblin. Then puts both hands on his Elven Court Blade and does a simple spin with it and his body. 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17 dagger throw with bless, 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 damage. The dagger slices into the goblin but does it drop?
| Barek Hisdren |
Round 1
Barek blinks as the night blindness fades. He sees the goblins lighting fires and he knows the whole town could go up in flames if they weren't stopped. He rushes around the tent and closes on one of the beasts trying to set thins ablaze.
Double Move up to Red Goblin
| DM DoctorEvil |
Surprise Round
Tunder is startled by the explosion and the fireball, but he learned long ago to never underestimate goblins. "If there's trouble they'll find it. Who's the damn fool that put that wagon load of tinder next to the new church? Oh well, up to the Sons of Stone to save these longshanks again."
Squaring his shoulders and hefting his axe, he headed toward the fray as fast as his stout legs would carry him.
Move Action 20' toward the fire

3 Tunder
As the goblins start small blazes near the major conflagration, the heroes mobilize to stop them.
Seldon calls on Desna to aid the rest of his allies, and the swirl of butterflies swarms around him, all feel her power course through their sinews, strengthening resolve. All heroes get +1 on attack and saves vs fear for 1 mintue (10 rounds).
Charging hard into the fray, Thorn throws his dagger at Yellow Goblin striking the creature hard in the side. Emitting a low growl, the goblin turns to face the brave elf, who draws his blade as he nears.
The gnome sorceress mounts the stage to offset her diminutive size and begins muttering incantations. A few moments later, a blue electric foce bolt erupts from her fingers and arcs through the flaming bonfire and into the chanting gobliness. A slight hiccup in the keening is the reward, but the tune is picked up again thereafter.
Barek finally sees the threat near the base of the fire, and launches himself at the nearest goblin, hustling until he's right next to Red Goblin. He yells encouragement at Tunder as he passes the dwarf who had a head start.
Because you guys started it, I'm going to retcon the last 2 goblins actions. If Miri gets in the middle of this, I may have to do one over again...
The Lime Goblin also with torch in hand, sees the force bolt come from the stage and charges that way, only to run into Thorn in the process. He waves the burning wood at the elf trying to light him up also.
Torch attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
Torch damage: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 bludgeoning, plus 1 fire damage = 4 HP total.
The flaming stave strikes Thorn in the arm, as he draws his own weapon. The fire burns him scorching his clothing and flesh, and the wood bruises his right arm.
Purple Goblin, the songstress, continues humming the tune but busies herself with a variety of hand motions and a cool green glow begins on her hands, touching the place where the force missle struck her.
Okay, waiting on Miri and Tunder to close Round 1. Mirela should probably post a Round 2 action also.
| Aziza Plumbockett |
Pre-empting Round 2 actions, as I may not be able to post again until tomorrow
Spellcraft to recognize what the singing she-goblin is doing: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Realizing what the female goblin is doing, Aziza yells as loudly as she can to the rest of the party, "Get the singing one, before she heals them! She's a spellcaster of some kind, probably a bard." She runs forward to try and get the goblin singer in range of her Elemental ray, but the yrch is faster and is still out of reach.
With only enough inner power left to cast one more spell, Aziza snarls with frustration, realizing that her last Magic missile probably wouldn't be enough to break to the singer's concentration. But if the goblin was a bard then she was the biggest threat present...
Magic missile damage to the goblin singer: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
I'm assuming that the singing, spell-casting female goblin is a bard of some kind. It seems a reasonable guess for Aziza to make given the spellcraft roll.
| Mirela Malvo |
Sorry for the delay. Getting near to the end of the term with my students, so the work is piling up.
Round 1
Shielding her eyes from blinding light of the explosion, Mirela only moves again once she can see properly.
Grabbing her knife, she curses quietly being so far from the action.
Just doing a move action this round. Since my Round 2 takes place early, I'll just do it now.
Bounding out from behind Thorn, Mirela readies her dagger and attacks at the goblin threatening him.
Attack Roll on Lime Goblin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Confirm Critical: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8
| DM DoctorEvil |
Goblin Pyros - Round 1 continuted
Mirela moves forward, around the stage. Seeing the goblins she readies her knife for another fight.
Tunder trundles forward and hollers at Barek "Bet I can fell more than you, Man. As of now they each had ended 2 goblins, but the contest was on...
End of Round 1
Sorry Tunder if you want to retcon , lmk, but not much else for you to do and we can move forward this way. On to Rnd 2!

Both Blue and Red swing their flaming brands at Barek who has appeared to mess with their fun. Blue's Torch: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6
Red's Torch: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14Red's damage: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 +1 fire damage = 4 HP damage. Barek easily avoids the first swing, but with no weapon to parry or shield to block the second attack, it gets inside his guard resulting in a bludgeoning blow to the chest and a small burn.
Yellow Goblin who was wounded by Thorn's knife throw, staggers forward and attempts to pay him back. Dropping his torch and attacking with his hunk of metal. He slashes at the elf warrior. Yellow slice: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 The nimble elf easily sidesteps the clumsy blow from the wounded goblin and readies his curved blade to retaliate.
Miri sprints alongside Thorn just as it looks like odds are turning against him. She drives her dagger deep into the vital organs of Lime Goblin and twists, causing him great bodily harm. His guts spilling on the ground, Lime Goblin goes down in a heap.
White Goblin turns from his work burning the building as the dwarf huffs and puffs his way. Cackling with frenzied glee, the goblin takes a poke at Tunder with his flaming stick. White Torch: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 But the ill-aimed blow misses completely.
Ok, Seldon, Thorn, (i have Aziza unless she changes it) and Barek. Don't forget your Bless buffs. Let's make them pay!
| Seldon Swiftheel |
Heeding Aziza's advice and seeing her blast of magic fly, Seldon will attempt to follow up with a decisive blow, kissing his holy symbol for luck before dashing forward and sending his starknife whistling toward purple goblin's throat.
Starknife Toss + Point Blank Shot + Bless: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
She shouldn't have cover from the market stall, but if it blocks my LoS I'll revise my action to a charge on the Red Gubbin.
| Barek Hisdren |
Barek shouts as the goblins attack him with torches. He get burned by one of them and tries to land a solid blow in return, but the distraction of the fire in his face makes the punch sail over the goblin's head.
Attack Red
Attack (PA, Bless): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage (PA): 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
| Seldon Swiftheel |
Got it. Amend that to a charge attack for 16, dealing 5 points of damage.
| Thorn, Omen bringer |
**Round 2**
Thorn seeing only one threat imminent to him now, slices downwards at the goblin, 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Elven Court Blade attack, 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 damage. Thorn misses again and is confused why he just continues to miss, perhaps this is not his fight. He will be adapting to a defensive style of fighting from this point out.

Troops, I will be busy a significant portion of the day today as I am in the field and away from the office. I will summarize the round tonight when I get settled, and we can move from there. Mirela - if you get a chance you might want to send me your round 3 action because we'll get to quickly once I start posting the summaries. Tunder - based on your discussion thread note, I'll run you until we see your smiling face again.
