<whispers> "Ooooo, look dark."
"okay....get ready..."
Riese grabs a crossbow bolt from Beldan's supply and casts light on it before handing it back to Beldan.
"Shoot this down where those pathetic imposter's firebolts came from, please."
<Squints his eye and taps his head.>
"Summatimes 'at Rice laddie pure diz shaw some gears."
imposters.... just....the all-encompassing megalomanical hubris of this Riese guy....never ceases to floor me.
Altai winces as the hail of missiles strikes Stig. "Bah! So much for my illusion..."
Sorry; it was kinda ahead of your turn...
Can I charge them?
Can I charge them?
YES.
Sorry; it was kinda ahead of your turn...
Stig charges in the direction the missiles came from and attacks the first moron he sees (not including the morons in our party of course).
(Power attack charge) Axe, damage: (1d20+9=19, 1d10+13=20)
Stiggy and those with darkvision...
He puts a hard blow to that first hobgoblin; the hob doesn't fall but looks pretty bad off...
Everybody who has no darkvision sees Stig madly charge into the darkness; hears a clash of arms; the thump of armor and shield like football players smashing at scrimmage; bellowing and wailing and cursing and wetdeath work at hand in the darkness.
Hey! This isn't supposed to happen! ;)
(sick daughter won't sleep.....)
Beldan nods to Riese. “Good idea.” However, as he loads his crossbow with the now glowing bolt, Stig charges into the room. Beldan squints after him, trying to aim for anything in the room that moves that isn’t the dwarf.
You hit the guy Stiggy hit; you can shoot right as he charges, and a bolt is faster than a fat dwarf...
The hob isn't dead though. He IS a lamp, and everybody can see any and all spoilered information now. There's the one Stigg is meleeing with, and three others behind him in a row.
Looks like Elgan; Riese; Altai's go; Gittik is holding to charge on a foe or foes behind the door in the hallway that Stiggy has even now charged past.
A door,....with a knocker, with a skull motif.
"Ahhh, that's better! WHO FIRED THOSE FIREBOLTS!!! You are nothing but a cut-rate caster! Imebelia furtion de'flar!!!"
"That's a firebolt you pathetic, magic-aping f$%&s!"
Not c5; I assume you mean a4; Stig's at A5. It's a hallway; there's a door at A4; you can maybe go through the door to get to c5(?) it's unknown territory; or you can cast over Stig's shoulder from A4; there's a row of 4 of them at a6,a7,a8, and a9.
Riese's bolt hits, but doesn't seem to do anything but fizzle out on impact, and scorch the hobgoblin a little bit.
Let me know if my description doesn't make sense; c5 may be reachable, but it's beyond the door at a4, and isn't seeable by you right now.

Yeah; it's like 5 feet, and then the southern wall of the room.
“Whoa Riese, what happened to your fire magic? Does that mean the hobgoblin is a better wizard than you?”
Riese's bolt hits, but doesn't seem to do anything but fizzle out on impact, and scorch the hobgoblin a little bit.
Is this a magical effect that is preventing the spell from working? 1d20 6=23 spellcraft roll to ID the effect.

It....seems to have....the same effect as it might when acting on a drow--the hobgoblin seems to be able to resist the spell's power.
Oh; and I did check and apply the 1d6 damage from the spell's description....
right on; just waiting for Elgan; as Gittik is waiting for somebody to come out of the door.
You can move up right behind him; there's a door right next to you, though.
The brave elf-turned Puppy-power yelps and dashes off into the hallway. He runs right up behind Stiggy and slides to a halt, shimmering as he does so. He slides to a halt in Elf form, still on his knees, with with his shield on his left arm. With his free hand he reaches up to tap Stiggy lightly on the back.
"Tag. Yer IT 'chere!" He says gleefully as the green glow spreads from where he touched Stig's back to begin healing his wounds.
;P
The dwarf's wounds start knitting together. The door (surprise that) swings open, and another hobgoblin in chain mail stands there, sword ready.
Their attack coming shortly; then Gittik can't charge, but can move up behind Elgan and smite that hob around the corner...

More setup....
the door in the hall leads to a room encompassing b3-5,c3-5, and d3-5, with a door at c5 south, and a hob at b4 about to attack elgan.
the room to the south of the hall encompasses a6-10, b6-10, c6-10, and d6-10, with the door to the aforementioned room at c5/6, and a hall out at d10 running east, and a hall out at c10 running south.
The very injured hob at a6 full retreats to c10, and....his wounds look to be knitting up...
the hob at a7 steps to b6, hits at Stiggy; misses.
the hob at a8 shoots another firebolt; stig saves, takes 5 h.p.
that one steps to b8.
the hob at a9 shoots another firebolt; stig saves, takes 7 h.p.
that one steps to b9.
a10 is where the scorpion Altai summoned is going.
The hob at b5 hits elgan with a longsword, and takes 9 h.p.
in the main room of the trailer, one of the doors to nowhere opens. Curling greenish grey mist protrudes from the doorway, enveloping Altai; beckoning him into sleepwalking into the door. The door slams shut...
Gittik's held action; then it's round 3!!!
Gittik can't charge, but can move up behind Elgan and smite that hob around the corner...
The hob takes a good scimitar to the thigh; he's still fighting but he's bellowing with rancor.
you're at a3.
oh, and the scorpion appears this round too; I'll take care of that later.
If Altai's not gone yet, it's all good; I'll play that little bit of weirdness by ear.
Oh, and right now, I've got Stiggy down 16 h.p. and Elgan down 9 h.p.
ROUND #3!!!
"Ow! Da furry F@#$ hit me! Not bad chere, but now iz mah turn!"
"More ears....for the elf necklace...." he responds.
Aroooooo!
<Worries about Stig but stays out of combat.>
right on; the hobgoblin laughs at you.
"hope you've got more of those, stumps."
"Aye, anuthar one's aready, warts. Atho Ah doot ye gonna be hittin' me."
"I'm going to shave your beard off and make a hairshirt of it, dwarf!"
"Funay. Th' lest 'obgoblin Ah kilt said 'at afair Ah fed heem tae mah dug, tay."
"Rood? Ruts?"
<Wags his tail.>
"Paugh....any hobgoblin you killed should've been rightly drowned at birth!"
"Drownin', me axe. Wha's the difference? A deid hobbogobbo es a deid hobbogobbo."
"Quit yer witless prattlin' an' barnie up."
