Gelgish lets out a sharp grunt of surprise as he takes in the sheer number of goblins in the room. He immediately begins spinning his strange ball-and-chain weapon, but before he strikes looks over his shoulder at Chavana and says, that last one got The Bear but good. He won't ask for healing just now, but I will for him! With that, the dwarf vaults off of his front foot while springing forward, bringing the heavy ball crashing down on one nearby goblins.

5' step to the west, then use dorn durger's reach to hit what I *think* is Goblin 2 (the number is hidden). I'm pretty sure neither of Darpan or Ulrich hit this guy yet. Afterward, he'll threaten goblins 1, 9 and 2 (if he lives).

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Damage, if hits 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Chavana, not thinking of her own safety runs to Ulrich, dropping her morningstar as she reaches him and grasping at her holy symbol as she blesses Ulrich.

"Hope be with you! She cries as she lays her hand upon Ulrich.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 5) + 4 = 14

Ulrich yes for the shooting into melee, I didn't include it on their rolls because it basically negates with your -4 AC for squeezing. I did forget the partial soft cover though which saved you from one hit.

Darpan lets two arrows fly but neither hit their mark. In Ulrich's rage he slices one of the goblins near in half before dropping his polearm and moving back. Gelgish moves up to assist, smashing another goblin in the head and dropping it to the floor while Chavan closes some of the wounds on Ulrich with her divine powers.

The goblins continue their assualt. The two in melee stepping up and the ones in the rear firing their barrage of arrows.

Attack M1 U: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Attack M2 U: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Attack R1 U: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Attack R2 U: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Attack R3 U: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 2 = 11
Attack R4 U: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 2 = 9
Attack R5 U: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Attack R6 U: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 2 = 15

One of the nearby goblins cuts into Ulrich as a barage of arrows comes in 3 sticking into Ulrich, though not penetrating as far due to his armor.

-9 Ulrich

Round 2
Goblins, >Gelgish, Darpan, Chavana, Ulrich

Gelgish is dropping until after at least Ulrich and Darpan go

Darpan again fires into the press of goblins. (Goblins #3,4)

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Sacrifice Daylight for a Cure Moderate Wounds on Ulrich
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 7) + 4 = 16

"Hope, Ulrich!" She cries as she tends his wounds.

The Bear's mad laughter appears even more maniacal as the grievous wounds he sustained cause him to cough blood and leave him coated in scarlet. The magic that heals him seems as unnoticed as the wounds he sustains, however and he fights on, laying about him with his falchion.

Attack with Rage +4 Str, Power Attack, Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 19
damage: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15

Ulrich is attacking the nearest uninjured goblin, roll20 is down so can't be more specific. Note: If 2 or more goblins are threatening him Crowd Control kicks in for additional +1 hit +1 AC (total 18)

I'm going to assume for Gelgish's posted action below that Darpan's arrow hit/killed Goblin 3 and missed Goblin 4, while Ulrich's attack hit/killed Goblin 10. May have to revise my action if I'm wrong on these assumptions.

Gelgish stalled his movement for the briefest of moments, watching The Bear's falchion rip into the goblin next to him. As the creature crumpled to the ground below the laughing half-orc, the dwarf sprang into action. He spun past the remaining goblin facing Ulrich and Darpan, intent on the goblins raining arrows into party's ranks. Darting forward, Gelgish stopped in front of the archers just as Darpan's arrow ripped through the chest of the nearest creature. The dwarf then swung his ball-and-chain weapon wide, snapping it into place at the last moment to bring it crashing down on a goblin in the middle of the archer's pack.

Move 15' forward to current position, tumbling through the AoO of Goblin 9 en route. Then attack action on Goblin 8 with reach weapon.

AoO Attempt vs. Goblin 9 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Attack vs. Goblin 8 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Damage, if hits 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Darpan hits with his first shot, but the second goes wide. While Chavana continues to infuse Ulrich with her divine powers he slices trough the goblin in front of him with ease. Gelgish moves up avoiding the goblins swing at him and makes his attack, but with the crowd of goblins there it makes it difficult to land the strike and it misses instead.

Two of the goblins drop their bows, pulling out their swords instead and attack Gelgish. The goblin near Ulrich, even with seeing his companion sliced to pieces continues his assualt. The others continue to fire arrows.

Attack-M-U: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Attack-M-G1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Attack-M-G2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Attack-R-U1: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Attack-R-U2: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Attack-R-U3: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

With members of their group dropping the goblins seem a little less enthusiastic in their attacks with only the archers landing their attacks.

-6 Ulrich

Round 3
Goblins, >Gelgish, Darpan, Chavana, Ulrich

Again Darpan swiftly nocks two arrows and sends them winging into two goblins.

Attack-ranged (goblin#6): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Attack-ranged (goblin #7): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Ulrich slices through the goblin remaining beside him, then his garish laughter resembles a roar as he charges ahead to continue the fight.

Attack with Rage +4 Str, Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 4 = 17
damage: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14

Combat Expertise and Crowd Control should give AC 18 if both those goblins are alive.

More importantly, we've been forgetting Ulrich's damage resistance. He has DR 1. By my count he gets 10 hp back.

Gelgish whipped his dorn durger around following a narrow miss of the goblin and again spun around the goblin next to him. Confident that the creature would be most concerned with the large, angry half-orc baring down on him, the dwarf ended his dance directly opposite of the hapless goblin. He then swung his weapon again in a wide arching strike at the creatures's head.

Move action to current square, again using Acrobatics to avoid AoO from Goblin 3. Then flanking sneak attack on Goblin 3 using reach weapon. Gelgish will also then threaten Goblin 6 if he tries to use a missile weapon again

AoO Attempt vs. Goblin 3 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Attack vs. Goblin 3 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Damage+Sneak Attack, if hits 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Chavana picks up her morningstar and moves to a defensible position where the party remains in sight and can hold any goblins who attempt to attack from the rear.

Darpan picks off another goblin with a shot from his bow. Ulrich cut down the goblin in front of him before moving forward to the others. Gelgish deftly maneuvers around the battlefield avoiding attacks from the goblins as he takes out another goblin with his odd weapon. All while Chavana covers the rear from any surpise attacks.

The goblins, even though showing signs of fear continue their assualt. Now all with blades in hand.

Attack-U1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Attack-U2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Attack-G: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

None are very effective though as the battle has obviously taken a tone on their moral.

Round 4
Goblins, >Gelgish, Darpan, Chavana, Ulrich

Darpan continues to fire.
(Goblins #8 & #6)

Attack-Ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Attack-Ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Chavana, seeing the boys having control of most of the goblins quickly, focuses her attention on the possibility of being attacked from behind.

"This isn't right... All in one spot isn't right." She frowns as she looks at the situation around her.

The wild laughter comes to a crescendo, feeding on the fear of his foes as he strikes at the goblin in front of him.

Attack with Rage +4 Str, Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 4 = 16
Damage: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14

Dropping the vermin, and treading over its corpse, the laughing bear steps to flank with the one in front of Gelgish.

Gelgish swung his dorn durger defensively, eyeing The Bear's movement behind the goblin the dwarf was facing. This held the goblin at bay for a moment, just long enough for the half-orc to finish his foe and slide behind the creature. Gelgish smiled slyly and pulled in the slack on his weapon as the goblin fearfully glanced over it's shoulder at Ulrich's approach. Suddenly he whipped the shortened chain and heavy iron ball around to smash into the foe and hopefully finish the fight.

Attack with flank 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Damage and Sneak Attack if hits 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Darpan drops another goblin with his first shot, the second one going wide while Chavan continues to defend the rear. Ulrich slices through the goblin in front oh him, moving ahead to support Gelgish who swiftly modifies his use of his weapon and smashes the remaining goblin in the head, dropping it do the ground, putting an end to the goblin threat in this section of the tunnels.

Out of combat

Calming down the Bear groans and pants after the exertion and injuries. "That was a lot of vermin to cut through. Thanks for the aid, there were just too many of them." Looking around he adds, "We should move quickly in case the ruckass we just made causes others to come looking..."

Re-arming with his glaive and sheathing his falchion, the Bear then leads the group towards one of the unexplored areas.

Darpan does a quick search of this area and the dead goblins before moving on.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Ulrich heads back off to the east where three thistle tunnels open into a large cavelike chamber. Above, the thorny canopy grows thin enough that tiny slivers of the sky above can be seen, while below, the ground consists of trampled dirt. In the southern portion of this area is a large hole that you can hear the distant sound of sloshing waves echoing up from.

This *room* you are not considered squeezing while inside.
Map updated

Seeing the last of the goblin's slain, Gelgish assists Darpan in looting the corpses before following Ulrich forward.

Chavana steps forward still holding a rear position, and waits for Darpan to arrive.

What kind of lighting is in this inner section?

It is shaddy but the whole thing has been lit well enough to see.

Okay. If a section becomes darker, she will use Dancing Lantern before proceeding into darkness.

"Gelgy, Mr. Bear, please let me know if there are any parts getting too dark for the likes of us who can't see in the dark. I have prepared something to allow for Darpan and myself to see."

Ulrich advances further into the room, polearm at ready.

Continuing into the area you see the path splits north and south, south heading back from where you originally started into the tunnels.

"Hrm... Lets make sure we're not leaving any foes behind us." With that, Ulrich leads the group back towards the entry way, where the party could have gone west and north.

Heading back toward the entrance you take the tunnel to the northwest. It goes on for a ways before ending in a makeshift stand in the thistles looking out over the coast.

Northeast it is, then, with no foes behind us.

Agreed, onto the Northeast

After conferring with his companions, Ulrich leads the way with pole arm out - headed back to the north east.

His rumbling Varasian accent cautions, They have shown they can ambush, keep watch behind as well - though it is good that we seem to have not left any behind us.

As best she can, Chavana listens to Ulrich.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

???: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Heading back to the other unexplored tunnels Ulrich rounds the corner and sees a pack of goblin dogs. The floor and walls of this musty-smelling chamber are covered with matted, wiry fur. Well-gnawed bones lie scattered about the floor, and a dozen wooden stakes have been driven into the ground near the walls. The beasts start barking and run toward you.

Round 1
>Darpan, Goblin Dogs, Chavan, Gelgish, Ulrich

Darpan quickly fires on the lead dog.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

If the first arrow kills the dog, then he will target the next one in line

You can't see them from where you are so I'll just assume you delay until after they move?

Yes, sorry, that will work

Iolana is waiting for sight of whatever they face.

Iolana?

Sorry, had cut and pasted from a PbP I'm running, foolish me. I meant Chavana. Similar names in my head... :/

The goblin dogs rush forward to attack, barking and growling at the group. With the tight corridor though only one can actually reach Ulrich as it tries to bite him.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

The dog bites in but Ulrich's armor stops any real injury. The other dogs bark and look ready to attack.

???: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Darpan seeing the dogs now takes a couple shots at them. Both arrows fly true, striking the dogs down.

Round 1
Goblin Dogs, Darpan, >Chavan, Gelgish, Ulrich

Roll 20 is having issues, she'll move closer to Ulrich, but otherwise try to stay out of Darpan's way.

"Careful Ulrich!"

Darting north past The Bear, Gelgish spun away from the goblin dogs to build momentum for his weapon. Following a full 360 degree pivot, he attempted to bring the ball of his weapon crashing down on the furthest beast.

Move to current square, using acrobatics to avoid AoO from dog 4. Then attempt to hit dog 5 with reach

Acrobatics 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Damage, if hits 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The Bear sets a grim look on his face, as if concentrating. He stands firm, swinging his guisarm at the dog-creature threatening Gelgish.

guisarm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

His polearm swings wide, so he drops it and steps forward drawing his falchion to face the remaining two dogs, providing Gelgish with a flanking opportunity.

power attack & combat expertise - no rage. Standing where two creatures threaten him activates crowd control - AC 18

Chavana moves uo closer to Ulrich but out of Darpans line of sight to the dogs. Gelgish works his way around the dogs easily avoiding any attack from them but unable to connect with the dogs as the move about getting ready to attack. Ulrich moves up as well but has similar luck, not able to connect. The remaining goblin dogs attempt to bite Ulrich.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

With the two of them working together one manages to take a bite out of Ulrich.

Need a DC12 Fort Save

???: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
???: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Round 2
Goblin Dogs, >Darpan, Chavan, Gelgish, X, X, Ulrich

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Darpan again fires at the ragged beasts, placing two arrows into the creature attacking Ulrich.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Confirm Crit. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Keeping the length of chain in his odd weapon slack, Gelgish spun backwards a few feet before attempting to bring the business end of the dorn durger into the back of the goblin dog distracted by The Bear's looming presence.

5 foot step to current square, then sneak attack with flank the Goblin Dog directly north of Ulrich (can't see the number)

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

[ooc]Damage + Sneak Attack, if hits[/dice] 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

Between Darpan and Gelgish's combined efforts they drop the two remaing dogs, but you hear rustling coming from the south east.

???: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Perception-G: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Chavana any action before those next in Init?
