DM Mathpro's Jade Regent Campaign-Table 2

Game Master Almagafor

Katana attack: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 3 = 7

Katana damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Ice damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Derric swings his sword at the goblin leader.

The chief lunges at Derric, avoiding both descending blade and blast of earth as he does so. Spitting invectives and hate the goblin thrusts hard with his blade.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

His anger gets the better of him, however, and misses.

Party's up

So it's my turn again?

Still kneeling next to Leo Jayna looks up and glares at the goblin chief. "I hate goblins." She throws up her hand and casts Daze at the little green monster.

Will Save 14 Negates.

So it's my turn again?

Chief is the only bad guy left, it's just easier to let you all go at this point than worry about order.

Save vs Daze: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

The chief's fury is enough that he shrugs of Jayna's spell.

Katana Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24

Katana Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Katana Attack Confirm Critical: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Katana Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Ice Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"I certainly agree Jayna," Derric shouted while swinging his sword at the goblin chieftain's head.

"This is payback for the dog insult and the sword wound! And for your information: I'm a fox! Not a dog!"

"Frankly," Daichi says, taking a deep breath and focusing himself. "I'm rather ambivalent toward goblins. But this one..." He slams a foot down, raising another chunk of stone the size of his head. "This one is responsible for Ameiko's injuries. And that is unacceptable." Yet another stone shoots at the chief's face.

Attack (Point-Blank, Melee): 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12

"I couldn't have said it better myself" Derric said with a grin as he nodded in agreement with Daichi.

Derric then spat at the goblin, "When you meet your damn ancestors in Hell tell them you died because you angered the friends of Ameiko Kajitisu!"

Leo grabs his shield and carefully rises to his feet.

I presume I'm not adjacent to any enemies as it's just the goblin chief left and when he shot me it was at range, so... don't think I'm provoking an AoO from anyone?

No, you're good. Honestly, even if you were threatened he probably wouldn't take the AoO he's so focused on Derric.

Not wanting to crowd the others, Rishana maintains her distance. "Senga, whakaeke!" she calls again as she readies another arrow and fires at the chief.

Attack (Longbow; Bless, PB Shot, Into Melee): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Senga knew that she didn't like the strange noise-makers that the little green things carried, but she also knew that the blood of the little green things...had a pleasing taste. And when Rishana gives the attack call yet again, Senga is only too happy to heed it.

In a bound, she crosses the small room and swings a mighty paw at the lone goblin.

Attack (Claw; Bless): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Bot

Kiko once more fires a sling bullet at the chief.

Attack, into melee: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13

Firing wide.

The combined attacks of Derric and Senga surprise the chief, badly wounding him. But his hate drives him on as he tries desperately to wound and kill Derric.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

This attack is more successful than previous attempts. His blade embeds in Derric's armor, barely scratching flesh but not biting deep enough to cause significant harm. He rips the blade free with a twist of his wrist and curses the "dog-man."

He's alone and desperate, standing in the middle of the room. Anyone closing to melee gets flanking bonus

Daichi growls in frustration and raises a larger burst of stone, thrusting his fist forward a bit roughly. His blast goes wide, slamming the wall with a heavy blast of earth.

Attack (Point-Blank, Melee): 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 10

Leo picks up his sword off the ground, then closes in to hem in the goblin chief alongside Derric.

Used standard action to pick up/ready weapon again, move to get into melee range.

Jayna stands and throws a Magic Missile at the goblin. "Please die."

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Katana attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19

Katana damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Ice Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Despite the goblin's blade penetrating his armor, it doesn't penetrate enough to injure him. Upon being called a dog again, Derric snarls, giving the chieftain a fang filled smile as if to remind the goblin that his attack failed as the kitsune swings his blade down onto the goblin.

"This is for Ameiko!"

Derric you forgot Flanking, with it you hit

Derric's katana falls and strikes the chief solidly in the shoulder. He drops with a spray of arterial blood. He lays still on the ground, short and labored breaths coming with the same tempo as the pulses of his leaking life's blood.

Fight over, chief Gutwad is unconscious and bleeding

"I believe that this deals with the goblin problem then." Daichi walks over to the fallen chief and looks down at his bleeding body. "I believe we needed the head, yes? Derric, if you would be so kind as to claim it, we can wrap this up and move on to dealing with our next problem."

"He fought well for a goblin," Rishana observes as she beckons Senga back to her side. She then turns her attention to Leo. "Are you able to carry on? That was a vicious blow you took, even with Jayna's healing magic."

"He managed to get a shot right in the unprotected area on the side of the shoulder. It happens," says Leo. "I'll be all right. We should still press on, we have much to do." He taps his gloved hand on the side of his helmet ruefully. "I apologize if I gave you reason for concern, and especially to those who were counting on me to hold the front line."

After a momentary pause, he says, "Thank you for the concern, though. I appreciate it." He clears his throat, looking slightly embarrassed.

Rishana gives Leo a rather puzzled look, as if uncertain of why he seems embarrassed. "Of course. We're all of one mind and one purpose and so we look out for each other, yes?"

"You are right though, we still have much to do so we shouldn't tarry long," she adds.

With one clean stroke of his blade, Derric chops off the goblin chieftain's head.

"Don't worry Leo. Things happen. It's just a good thing that Jayna was able to heal you. So don't sweat it," the kitsune said as he wrapped up the goblin head.

He then proceeded to chop the ears of those goblins they had defeated as well. "We will need these ears as well as the sheriff said that we will be rewarded for the return of each goblin ear."

Derric was actually cutting both ears off, and wasn't realizing that he was doing it!

"I'm happy you were between me and the goblins Leo. Thank you. We should try to rest before taking on the bone men. That was the only potion I had someone remind me to pick some up when we are back in town."

Jayla turns away when the goblin's head is chopped off.

"And that deals with that," Daichi says, unphased by the decapitation. He glances back outside and frowns. "Though I don't suppose that tracking down a group of skeletons in the rain is a particularly wise idea. Perhaps we should try to wait out the storm before we make our next move."

"Sounds wise to me," Rishana nods in agreement. "And with the chieftain dead, the rest here should know that we will keep the rest of our agreement as well and so will not bother us."

Leo says, "I'll reimburse you for the potion, Jayna. Thank you again." He scans the room and says, "We might be able to barricade ourselves in here, or somewhere in this ramshackle complex... assuming the goblins don't decide to just burn it down around us. They are notoriously fond of fire."

"I agree with Leo. I suggest we take turns standing guard, just in case the goblins decide to doublecross us," Derric said to the others.

I forgot to mention that Derric also went and got the ears off of the goblins they had defeated outside earlier too. My bad. :P

"Ah, maybe we should go tell Runt and the other goblins that the chieftain is dead before we dig ourselves in to rest?" Rishana suggests. "It might not stop them from deciding to double-cross us and burn the building down but it might at least stop them from growing bored or confused and burning the building down."

Leo snaps his fingers (as much as one can while wearing swordsman's gloves) and says, "That's a good idea, Rishana."

Jayna shudders, "Bored and confused goblins are the bane of civilized people everywhere. Especially bored goblins with fireworks."

"We really should confiscate those fireworks from the goblins. Before they decide to hurt Sandpoint in the future. They're like a hydra: cut off one head, another takes its place," Derric added.

Whoever happens to poke their head out first is greeted with...

As you look out into the rain you see Redeye and another goblin trying to futilely light a torch. As the second goblin continues to try to spark the flint, Redeye notices you, "Oh, hey there. It got kinda quiet and none of you came out to say hi and the Runt said maybe you died and Wormkiller said maybe you and Chief killed each other and maybe I said we shouldn't take chances Chief be mad and maybe it be best if we make sure he dead 'fore he try to kill us back and then Fluffy said that sound like good idea and then Purvis say we burn it down and get show and Chief be dead and we get warm and Purvis is strange name for goblin but he come with hobbie who sell him to us and he ok now and make good goblin and like fire but no like swamp and we say 'why you live in swamp' and he say 'because you bought me' and then we laugh and laugh and we say'silly Purv, you came free with the cow' but cow ran off and Purvie stay..."

he'll keep rambling unless you stop him :)

Leo interrupts after about a minute and says, "Chief dead. Don't come in right now. Kinda messy. If you decide to celebrate by shooting fireworks, point them away from the houses so they don't burn down."

"We also want to rest for a time before we take care of the bony men," Rishana adds, peering over Leo's shoulder. "Will this be a problem?"

"Please don't burn down the hut. We need to rest up there. Derric show them the head."

"Really Leo!? Why did you tell them to celebrate with the fireworks?"

The kitsune rolled his eyes a bit, shaking his head.

He quickly stuck the dead chieftain's head out showing the goblins that their was now dead. The furry samurai now hopes that the imbecilic goblins don't riot or double cross them all.

"Because they would do it anyway. At least now they've been told not to burn down the village. Not that they'll remember, but better to have tried than not at all."

"And every firework they use celebrating is one they won't accidentally hurt themselves or someone else with later."

Redeye keeps rambling for a few moments as you speak before the other goblin sharply elbows him. Redeye smiles, "Yeah, too rainy for fireworks, we do on new moon. Thanks for killing Old Chief, you can stay in his hut for the night or in one of the those huts over there," he indicates a few buildings with a sweep of his arm, "We keep watch for bony men, New Chief said that if you kill Old Chief you can pick guide to take you to bony men's place."

"Yes, a good idea," Rishana nods, looking completely serious. "Thank you for letting us stay here. We'll decide who we would take on as a guide and then depart in the morning...?" she continues, looking to the others for agreement or objection.

"That seems to be the best idea. We still have a few injuries to let heal and we could use the rest. And with luck, the storm will pass by morning and we'll have a clearer day to track these skeleton creatures in. And one of the goblins will likely know the marsh well enough to lead us there without much difficulty."

Perhaps we should choose a different hut. There's blood all over the floor of this one. I agree let's rest and then decide in the morning who should guide us." "Hopefully we choose a quiet one."[/b] she mutters to herself.

"We can always wipe the blood up," Rishana points out with some amusement. "But another hut would work just as well. As long as we're able to get our rest."

Kiko had to almost forcibly keep herself from vomiting as Derric cuts off the chief's head and the ears.

She takes some time to recover and is still paler than normal when she speaks up, "Leo, if you need more healing I can patch you up before we rest."

At the mention of the blood she looks at the bloody floor, "Perhaps I can wash it away with water but then the floor would be drenched."

Noticing Kiko's being sickened by what he's doing he quickly apologizes.

"Sorry about that. The sheriff said there was a bounty on the head of the goblin chieftain and any goblin ears we bring in. Besides, if I didn't cut off his head the other goblins might. And we could use the gold I suppose. Anyhow, I choose a drenched floor over a bloodstained floor any day actually."

"Kiko, if you will wet the floor then I will clean it," Rishana offers. "Less likely for the smell to attract other predators that way as well," she continues, ripping some strips off of the dead goblins' clothing to use as rags.

"Allow me," Daichi says. "Cleaning is sort of a specialty of mine."

"Go ahead Daichi. Cleaning isn't a specialty of mine. I became and adventure to avoid a life of cooking and cleaning." Jayna steps back out of the way.
