GM Ragged's Keep on the Borderlands - B

Game Master waynemarkstubbs

One of the kobolds (4) pulls out a pair of heavy sticks, and begins to drum on the treetrunk, sending loud, deep booms echoing down the gorge. Meanwhile, its companions draw short javelins and hurling them at the nearest target.

Javelin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Javelin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Javelin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Javelin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The missiles mostly fall ineffectually, one being diverted by Henris's mystical armour.

Anyone - go!

Having switched back to her bow, right after the discussion about needing someone to handle the front line, Orono is very annoyed as she takes a shot at one of the kobold javelin-flingers.

Longbow attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

"Pretty sure they just called for reinforcement. This ends fast or we die"

Sling: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Crit Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

"Agreed, Roscoe."

Henris again makes a punching motion, this time at the one signaling for reinforcements.

Telekinetic Fist: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Houk pics one of the javelin throwers and hurls a starknife at him

Starknife throw+pbs: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Starknife throw+pbs: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

He then draws a cold iron star knife

PC dead. Typing on ipad, so will have to be brief. Can't updare map

A stellar round of shooting drops one of the kobolds dead, its skull crushed by a slingstone from Roscoe, its corpse plummeting from the tree, while another is pinned against the trunk by Orono's shaft.
The drummer, seeing its comrades fall, ceases its signal and barks a sharp order to the others before hurling a final javelin itself.

Javelins rain down amoung the group

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

but have little effect, other than to make their targets dodge and weave.

Anyone go - new PC imminent

"They're trying to lead us north, and there are others coming!" Henris draws out his crossbow and shoots at one of the kobolds.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Roscoe readies another stone.

Attack Slingstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

I assume Houk dropped his target?

New PC! I have been through the simple 126-step process to set up my Microsoft account, and managed to convince Google that it really is me, and to give me my life back. Going to eat dinner then post updates.

Orono continues to rain arrows at the foes, picking the next closest target.

Longbow attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Auto-wiff!
