Andraste smacks the goblin near her but it continues fighting.

Will Save: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Al briefly sees a box appear around the goblin chief and his lizard and then he attacks the lizard with his glaive.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 for damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Aelfward you must interact with the image to get a chance to disbelieve it. It is not automatic. Usually that means attacking it or trying to open it etc. .

Well I'm not going to attack the box or try to touch it with goblins outside the box attacking the party. So I guess I'll spend all 30 of move to position myself between the goblin and Rauol so I can flank it while avoiding AoO , and while moving switch to my flail. attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (5) = 12

I just wanted to try this trick - I saw another caster do it before. If it's causing problems I can dismiss it on my next round.

17-Aelfward
11-Chief+Lizard
10-Others
5-Kyra

Aelfward moves up to swing at a goblin but misses with his flail.

Something happens inside the metal box...you still hear the chanting.

The four visible goblins attack the party with vigor.

Andrazi
chopper: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13 damage : 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Andraste
chopper: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25 damage : 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
confirm: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16 damage : 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Kyra
chopper: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10 damage : 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9
chopper: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22 damage : 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

A couple of the horse choppers hit their marks.

the goblin on Kyra shifts south of her so the other can step up and attack .

Kyra is up ...

Kyra takes a 5 foot step to the northeast to gain the corner against one of the goblins facing her and attacks the other with her scimitar.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Kyra slashes one of the southern goblins across the chest, but it continues to pair up with his buddy to attack her.

=== round 3 ===

21++Raoul

17-Aelfward
11-Chief+Lizard
10-Others
5-Kyra

Chanting continues inside the box.

All but Kyra are up...you cannot see the chief nor lizard.

Andrazi will frown and slash one of the other goblins next to him.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

1d4 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Raoul breaks his concentration, allowing the illusory box to disappear, revealing the chief, his lizard and another goblin.

He reaches down into his spell component pouch and draws a bit of butter, rubbing it between his thumb and forefinger.

"With my arcane grease, I shall bring you to your knees!"

Casting grease. It's the green square. DC 15 Reflex save or fall prone.

Jory steps forward again continuing to target the closer goblins.
He fires three shots from near to farther out. He does not move to his next target until it drops.
arrow1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 281d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
arrow2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 181d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
arrow3: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 251d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
One perfect shot left and one ki point left.

Hit points are now 31, already adjusted.

Andraste attacks the goblin that hit her.

Scimitar;Non-lethal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10 But misses completely.

As the metal box disappears, you see the chief atop the lizard and they are sticking to the wall. The chanting goblin is still behind the throne.

Raoul casts grease on the floor around the throne. The chanting goblin is standing in the goo and tries to keep its footing. The chief had apparently mounted the lizard and it is 5' high climbing on the eastern wall.

1d20 ⇒ 20

The chanter easily avoids the slippery effect.

Andrazi slashes the goblin standing next to him and severs its head completely from its small body.

Jory starts his hail of arrows, hitting the goblin next to Andraste first, and drops it.

The next closest goblins are in combat with Kyra. The second arrow misses, sticking in a doorframe, but the third one hits. The goblin is severely wounded, but does not go down.

Since Andraste's goblin was dropped by Jory, will assume she moved up to swing on the chief or lizard on the wall. Either way her blade misses its target.

Aelfward...

I'm on the wrong spot on the map. I moved to be between the wizard and the goblin when the box went up.

Seeing his opponent killed by an arrow, Al rushes to the cleric's aid and attacks the goblin to her east 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 for damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Thanks, got it Aelfward. I knew there was something I was missing. Please validate.

Aelfward rushes south through the double doors to aid Kyra. He brutally cleaves a goblin and it drops bleeding to the ground.

The chief has the lizard attack Andraste after he slices at Andrazi from their perch on the side wall.

"You longshanks not know your place. Chief Ripnugget make you pay!"

Chief sword, chant, higher: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 20 for dmg: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

"Hssssssssss"

Lizard bite, chant, higher: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9 for dmg: 2d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 + 1 = 8

Other noises...to the south1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The last goblin in the south hall attacks Kyra

Goblin chopper, chant: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17 for dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8 just hitting the cleric.

Kyra and Aelfward hear more goblin shouts from down the east hall as a half dozen more pour out of a room and a couple shoot arrows wildly at Kyra.

"Banzai!"

Goblin bow, chant: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12 for dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Goblin bow, chant: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7 for dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Kyra is up and sees a few other goblins with bows head into the east tower.

Kyra then...

=== round 4 ===
24-Goblin Chanter

21+Andrazi

11-Chief+Lizard
10-Goblin Commando
9-Goblin Archers
5-Kyra

Andrazi slashes the goblin standing next to him and severs its head completely from its small body.

Due to Andraste's curse and her promise earlier, I need to verify that there was nothing Andraste could have done to prevent this death, if there was something she could have done she is now sickened for the next 24 hours.

That was mostly color commentary. I checked its constitution...but it basically went from 0 -staggered to -12 in one chop and would bleed -1 before Andraste's turn. The other fallen goblins are all bleeding except for yours, which had 7 NL damage.

I'm in the right spot now thanks

stabilizers: 3d20 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) = 4

Andrazi's goblin is still twitching and bleeding, but only barely.
Andraste's goblin is knocked out.
Raouls' goblin is bleeding.
Aelfward's goblin is bleeding.

Andraste, you have a slim chance, but you would have to do something very soon, or you think the bugger is gonna bite the dust.

And a few have you have noticed that the chief does not seem to be as injured as he was before the metal box went up and down.

Regardless of if the goblin died or not, in fact even more so if it did and Andraste has become sickened, I have decided on the following course of action for this round, I apologize if this inconveniences the group, but its just plainly what she would do.

Channel: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 2) = 12 Selective Channel - Exclude chief, chanter, lizard, and the goblin that I dealt nonlethal to, as the one I dealt non-lethal to would definitely stand up from this amount of healing.

Bright light bursts from Andraste as she holds her Scimitar up speaking to the Goblins. "Lay down your arms while you still have them, I do not wish to fight you, and I wish even less to see senseless violence and needless bloodshed. Please, surrender while you have the chance." She pleads with the Chief and the other standing goblin, as well as any who may become conscious once more from her healing burst.

She drops her sword after the burst of holy energy dissipates, adding "You have been bathed in the love of the Dawnflower, please do not turn away from it."

Ok Andraste, got it. You are not sickened and I will apply the above to your round 4 action. I could try to retcon all of the actions in round 3 but there would be a lot of changes since you would have healed 2 goblins in the room (but not the ones out in the hallway unless you move). Does that work for you?

Fine with me.

(recap)

Kyra then...

=== round 4 ===
25-Andraste (will channel)
24-Goblin Chanter (chanting, greasy)
21++Raoul
21+Andrazi
21-Jory
17-Aelfward
11-Chief+Lizard (on wall)
10-Goblin Commandos (3 bleeding, 1 uncon, 1 standing)
9-Goblin Archers (in hallway)
5-Kyra

Kyra will attack the goblin to her south with her scimitar and then take a five foot step north.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Kyra swings at the goblin south of her but the blade goes over the goblin's head.

Top of the round.

Andraste, seeing Andrazi severely slash the goblin by him, calls down the divine power of Sarenrae, channeling healing to all in the room except the chief, lizard and chanter. She implores a peaceful solution and drops her weapon. Two of the goblins on the floor appear to be healed of their injuries, although one is still not conscious.

Her channel heals all in the room with 12pts, but Kyra, Aelfward and the goblins in the hall are not affected due to range.

The chanting goblin laughs at the priestess as she continues chanting and reaches up to cure the chief of more of his wounds.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

21++Raoul
21+Andrazi
21-Jory
17-Aelfward

Andrazi steps forward and tries to cut one of the goblins.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

CE, PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

1d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Jory moves to pin the goblin chanter against the wall.
He fires at a range of nearly touch at the chanter.
Deadly aim/damage/bleed: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 211d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 131d6 ⇒ 1
His thistle arrow opens a bleeding wound which quickly stops.
Move 30' std=shoot Jory moves to make sure the chanter has no way to cast or retreat without allowing him to hit him.

Raoul switches his wand of magic missile back to his main hand and takes a few steps forward into the room. Raoul flourishes the wand and sends a magic missile to the chanting goblin.

MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Raoul moves forward and shoots another of the magical bolts directly into the chanting goblin. She lets out a howl at the pain.

Andrazi steps carefully into the grease beneath the chief and the lizard. His blade cuts into the throne and misses the goblin.

Jory moves north into the room but still does not have a clear shot at the chanter. He pulls back and with careful aim, drills an arrow into the throne.

check the map...if Jory wanted to get closer he needs to save vs grease.

Aelfward...

Stopping at the grease! From the last description, didn't figure on cover.

Ok, the chanting goblin is hiding behind the throne (cover). You figure that is what saved her from the last shot.

Al says to Kyra "Time to go join the others" he hurls a smoke pellet between the goblin archers and Kyra and himself right in front of himself.

"I'll shoot at the boss"

Aelfward pulls out a smoke pellet and fills the south hallway with smoke before the advancing archers.

The chief laughs at Andraste's gesture and healing.

"Hah! You weak! Chief Ripnugget goblins strong. No surrender...destroy you!"

With that the chief urges the lizard to bite at Andrazi followed by him slashing down with his short sword.

Lizard bite, chant, higher: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13 for dmg: 2d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 1 + 1 = 10

Chief sword, chant, higher: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 26 for dmg: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

The lizard misses with his chomp, but the chief scores a hit on the warrior. (9pts).

South goblin stabilize: 1d20 ⇒ 1

The one goblin commando that was on the ground but healed by Andraste, stands and 5' steps to attack Raoul.

Goblin chopper, chant: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 for dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10
Pathetically missing in his zeal to protect his chief.

Meanwhile, the other goblin swings at Kyra in the south hallway.

Goblin chopper, chant: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24 for dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8
slashing her across the torso with his rusty blade.

The yellow cloud of smoke halts a few of the archers, while another band bursts through the eastern door and fire arrows wildly.

"Banzai!"

Goblin @ Jory bow, chant,cover: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 15 for dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Goblin @ Andraste bow, chant,melee: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 20 for dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Goblin @ Raoul bow, chant,cover: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 15 for dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

One of the arrows pierces Andraste (4pts)

Kyra then...

17-Aelfward
11-Chief+Lizard (on wall)
10-Goblin Commandos (1 bleeding, 2 uncon, 2 standing)
9-Goblin Archers
5-Kyra

Kyra takes a step behind Aelfward and casts Bull's Strength on him (+4 Str for 4 min).

Andraste will take a step back, point at the chief and ask, "If you will not surrender, at least tell me where the 'longshanks' you are working with are." while she casts confess.

If the chief does not answer truthfully, in common, he takes 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 damage and is sickened for 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 rounds. Will DC 16 for half damage and to avoid the sickened condition.

Kyra calls forth divine strength onto Aelfward.

Andraste steps back and casts a spell on the chief. It is uncertain what his response will be as he appears to consider what to say (on his turn).

The chanter shouts to the chief...

"Do not answer her mighty chief, the she-witch tries to trick you!"

The chanter points a stick at the ceiling and speaks an arcane word. A black curtain falls from the ceiling, separating the room (see line).

21++Raoul
21+Andrazi
21-Jory
17-Aelfward

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Raoul tries to identify the nature of the curtain, thinking it is likely a spell. He takes a step backwards and launches another magic missile, this time at the goblin that attacked, but missed, him.

MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Raoul shoots another bolt of force at his assailant. The goblin grunts at the obvious pain, but glares at the elf wizard with renewed vigor.

Andrazi swings at the chief who hit him.

Payback, CE, PA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

1d4 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Al locks the double doors in front of him, takes a 5 foot step back then takes 2 sets of caltrops from his Handy Haversack and places them in the two five squares directly north of the doors he just locked.

He says to Kyra "Really, I think it times to go."

Andrazi swings at the defiant chief up on the wall, and misses.

Aelfward watches as his cloud of yellow smoke dissipates...revealing 3 goblin archers had moved up in the hall.

The mighty fighter pulls both of the double doors shut and locks the doors (2 moves) and steps back. He thinks about dropping caltrops but runs out of time.

I could not find official ruling on locking a door. I found something saying it was probably a move action. Closing 2 doors and locking would not leave time to pull out caltrops. You could leave doors unlocked and drop caltrops though...let me know.

I didn't know how long locking a door would take either, I think it' unlikely that an ordinary goblin is going to have a key to those doors so I'll lock them. Next round if I still think it's a good idea I will put the caltrops down.

Jory fires twice at the chief.
hit/damage/bleed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d6 ⇒ 6
hit/damage/bleed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 141d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d6 ⇒ 1
