Ariza stands up and casts spark on whatever is available to start on fire.

Maybe the Gobby won't get an attack of opportunity since she looked away?

Just after she stands up, she sends a message to Rezzin. Come down off that tent roof now my little man. Get in behind this goblin and try to stay hidden..

Rezzin jumps down off the tent and moves toward the Goblin *AFTER* the Goblin turns back toward Ariza.

Monkey Stealth: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Glad to see that his intimidation was effective, Rak returns to his bow-work, continuing to target the same goblin. (Goblin 4)

Longbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 18 (+1 from Judgment)
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

He then moves to get into position for a melee attack next round. (Movement reflected on map; movement started with a SW diagonal move, and ended with a SE diagonal, such that Rak never moved through a threatened square.)

Not that I'm really a movement nazi but just so you know for home games the first diagonal is 5' and the second is considered 10' of movement and then they alternate as such 5', 10' and so on.

And the goblin is down! Sorry to spoil the suspense lol.

Did my arrow fell the goblin? If so, I'd like to do a different movement anyway (full 30' from my original position towards Sorin's goblin (if his goblin is still standing)). But, your comment on the diagonal movement is noted.

Looking at the rolls, how come the AOO against me was a hit?

Happy to see an ally showing up and helping (oooh, that felt good!), Denche frustratingly jabs at the goblin again.
dagger: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 111d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Sorin swipes with an attack.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

And again!

Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage 1: 1d6 ⇒ 5

GAH damn dice roller...sometimes when you preview dice rolls it shows you one thing and then when you post it changes the rolls...I'll obviously go with the roll that is shown which would be a miss...not that it matters anyway since your both healed fully lol.

Round 5 wrap up

Rak your bow zips through the air and into the goblins eye releasing a font of juices as it drops to the ground twitching. Goblin 2 will once again swing at Sorin but the blade goes right between the rogues legs. Denche unfortunately you miss with your dagger again. Sorin your first swing goes wide but your second swing connects and drops Goblin 2. Goblin 1 seeing that he is all alone flees the seen, jumping from the stage and then running off. This will provoke an attack of opportunity from Denche as he runs past. Unfortunately the big mans dagger swings wide.

Well done everyone! That is 7 goblins defeated very well done. We are out of combat so feel free to describe what your characters are doing now.

Sorin examines his now closed wounds. Finding himself back to full health, he examines the dead goblins around him looking for anything of value or clue to where they came from.

After taking what he can, he jogs over to meet his comrades.

"Everyone doing alright?"

He turns to the newcomer.

"You have my thanks, wasn't sure if I'd hold out if you didn't come along."

Feeling the Judgment of Cayden Cailean dissipate from his body, Rak breathes a sigh of relief knowing that the combat is over. He looks around to all of his companions and feels even better to see them all in good shape. "So what was that all about, eh? Ariza, Denche, I think I heard you both speaking to them in their own tongue; were they saying anything?" Rak stays close enough to listen to any answer he receives, but also begins looking for the woman who was injured, to see if she needs more assistance. He will attempt to retrieve any arrows he fired that are in good enough shape to be reused. Finally, he'll search the bard goblin's body if nobody else has done so.

Denche curses as his swing yet again fails to connect. Seeing the goblin suddenly flee, he turns around to see what might have caused that change. For all my shouting, he leaves by his own volition?! Could I be any more useless?

Eyeing the other dead goblins: "Everyone ok? Looks like we're safe for a bit."

He returns to the other side of the stage, picks up his torn bow and inspects it. You fail me not when hunting for food, but when my life is at stake?! Must be this solstice and the poor butterflies.

He then jumps down and inspects the corpses for any symbols, emblems or other identifying objects. And pulls out that one arrow he managed to shoot.
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 I guess?

At the same time he responds to Rak: "They had nothing relevant to say and my shouting was mostly aimed at making them fearful."

"I need to get my weapons fixed... or replaced. Can you point me to a bowyer and a blacksmith, Father? Do you know if the town is now safe?"

Denche says they weren't saying anything in particular; is it normal for such a small group of goblins to attack a gathering in a public square like this?

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 = 9 (+3 Monster Lore)

Looks at Sorin and smiles "Desna smiles on those how protect her followers. Thank you for acting so quickly. Many in my parish would have died if it weren't for you." he just shakes his head at Denche "I'm not sure what a...bowyer...is but our blacksmith shop is located on the outskirts of town by the beach. He is a bit of an odd fellow...and likes his privacy. Shops closed now due to the holiday though."

Note all weapons and armor found are sized for small creatures.

Rak takes a look at the cart that the 2nd group of goblins burst out of, hoping to find a clue as to their origin or purpose. So odd for them to attack Sandpoint like this.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Rak helps gather the loot found on the goblin corpses, really wishing the arrows were large enough for his bow. "We should see if we can find a buyer for these items; someone might find them useful." He separates out a potion and suggests that Sorin carry it. "I think you might want this; you seemed to have gotten the most attention in that battle. It could be useful."

How do we want to handle distributing loot amongst the party?

"Hmpff, thanks. We need to inform the guard. I guess everyone is in a drunken stupor somewhere? How else could they have gotten in in such a number, without anyone noticing?"
Isn't it a bit too smart for them to think of seizing such an opportunity?

"Let's find the sheriff and then trade some of their gear. If nothing, perhaps the small bow strings could be used to repair mine."

Ariza picks up Rezzin and gives him a hug, then perches the monkey up on her shoulder again.

"What were they doing here? And where is the lady with the ankle issue? Maybe she can help us shed some light on this strange event?"

She walks over to the others and turns and vomits when she sees the various body parts in the collection of things that they found.

"I don't want to touch anything that was near that," she says hoarsely.

"Too bad we couldn't intervene earlier. Sad to see someone lose a foot at such a lively event."

He takes the potion from Rak with a smile.

"I'll try not to leave myself expose next time."

Sorin moves to Father Zantas and shakes his hand.

"Are there injured among you? I wouldn't mind parting with this bottle if there's someone at death's door."

He looks back to the others.

"I hope you all don't mind."

As for keeping track of loot, a google excel doc might come in handy. That or we designate the Party treasurer.

I like the idea of a Google Sheet. I can start one up later this weekend if I have time, but if someone else beats me to it, I won't be offended.

Ariza I can start a sheet if you don't have one done already.

The priest smiles at Sorin and takes the potion from him. "There are a few that are injured yes. Thank you for your sacrifice it will not be for..." Just then another shrill scream rips through the air. You all hear it and its coming from the north!

I have not yet started a sheet ... :)

Ariza looks around at the sound of the scream. "Should we go see what's happening? I am getting low on my ability to send blazes of fire into a fight, but my crossbow still works!"

Ariza sends Rezzin scurrying toward the sound, telling him to stay to the high places as much as possible, and out of sight in any case; and report back to her whatever he sees

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

"Bah!" Denche turns toward the shriek, trying to recognise it.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 I guess?

I hope I won't need my bow.

Its to far away for the two of you to make out but Rezzin comes back a few seconds after leaving and lets Ariza know that the man from the bar last night is being attacked by goblins.

Rak responds to Ariza, "Yup, let's go check it out." He looks from Ariza to Denche and Sorin. "I bet it's more goblins. Something strange is going on here; if we see an opportunity to take one alive, we should. We have questions that need answers."

Unless anyone indicates otherwise, Rak starts moving towards the new sounds.

"Goblins are silly little idiots, so I doubt we could pry much from them." Pauses, "But a good thought nonetheless, perhaps we could set one free outside town and secretly follow it."

He then marches north, unsheathing his dagger again.

Sorin follows, a star knife in each hand, but moves quietly with the rest, sticking to cover when he can.

sneak: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

As you travel to the north you come upon a horrifc scene. The man from last night, Aldern, stands a few feet behind his dog screaming for help. The dog is fighting another large goblin that weilds a very large sword. The goblin is mounted on a rat like creature that some of you might recognize as a goblin dog. Behind the large goblin are three more goblins that are watching their leader fight.

Just before you can intervene the sword comes down and cleaves the dogs head from its body, releasing a deluge of warm blood and viscera as the dogs body collapses in a lifeless, bloody, heap on the ground. The goblin laughs with joy as as his sword separates the dogs head from its body but then notices the party. "Attack the humans" he cries out in common and starts charging towards the party. Sorin you go undetected by all except one goblin who will start moving toward you.

Need actions for the first round of combat everyone and I have rolled inits for everyone. New battle map has also been thrown up.

Rak mutters a short prayer to Cayden Cailean. He keeps his eyes on the charging goblin rider, asking Cayden for help against this goblin.

Casting Wrath for +1 morale bonus to attack/damage vs. that goblin

If DM allows me to learn a different spell

Ariza moves 20 feet; then casts color spray in a 15 foot cone hitting Goblin 2 and 4.

If DM does not allow me to learn a different spell

Ariza moves 20 feet; then casts burning hands in a 15 foot cone hitting Goblin 2 and 4.

Damage to Goblin 2: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Damage to Goblin 4: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Seeing as Sorin goes last, and that goblin who saw him is coming for him, Sorin is going to just attack twice. If that goblin doesn't get to him, he'll move to the nearest one and attack twice.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Damage 1: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Damage 2: 1d6 ⇒ 1

sigh...

Watching the other goblins get blasted by arcane energy, Denche steps in front of their leader and tries to stab his mount in the snout.

dagger: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

@DM - due to the rebuild of my character, my Init bonus is now just +2, so I should act on 19 for this combat instead of 20

Round 1 Wrap up

Goblin 4 will close the distance between him and Sorin and will lash out with his dogslicer. His blade digs into the mans flesh, dealing 3 points of damage to Sorin. Ariza motes of color spray from your fingers at Goblin 1, goblin 1's mount, and Goblin 2(since goblin 4 moved before you were able to cast). Goblin 1 falls from his mount as he falls unconcious from the blinding colors shot at him from Ariza. He is unconscious for 2 rounds, blinded for 5 rounds, and stunned for 4 rounds. But the goblins Mount and Goblin 2 are unaffected. Denche you try to stab the goblins mount in the snout but your dagger misses. Rak you are able to cast your spell. Goblin 2 will move up and attack Ariza with his dogslicer. "This will teach you to attack master" he says as he swings wildly with his sword, missing the mage. The goblins mount will attack Denche, lashing out to bite the half orc but he fails to pierce the big mans armor. Goblin 3 will also move up at attack Ariza. This time the sword strikes true and connects with Ariza, drawing a little blood. She takes 1 point of damage. Sorin both of your attacks miss.

CRAP!!! I wasted two 20's on resisting Ariza's spell...not that I wanted to roll those as attacks but still...just an fyi Ariza seeing how your being surrounded unless you cast defensivly your next spell(assuming you want to cast next round) casting will provoke attacks of opportunity from both goblins.

I only see 1 roll of 20 ... the other two rolled 10 and 2. So I think Goblin 2 should be down as well, and the mount up. Or am I misreading something?

Denche shrugs off the dog's bite and decides to finish the leader, hoping to demoralise the rest. "I'll take their master out, hang in there Ariza!"

Starting the attack, he shouts "You, Foxglove! Don't just stand there — fight or get the guard!"

CDG is an autohit crit — finally my weapons can't fail me :D
dagger: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 *2 = 6 (DC16 for death)

Damn dice roller strickes again...it changed its rolls when the post posted. You are correct Ariza Goblin 1 and 2 failed their saves.

I swear I need to format all my dice rolls and post them before finishing the rest of the posts in edit mode instead of preview mode...well Let me just repost the wrap up with the right rolls then...

There we go proper round 1 wrap up. I know it will get confusing to have rolls in one place and this in another but I can't copy and past rolls...sorry

Round 1 Wrap up

Goblin 4 will close the distance between him and Sorin and will lash out with his dogslicer. His blade digs into the mans flesh, dealing 3 points of damage to Sorin. Ariza motes of color spray from your fingers at Goblin 1, goblin 1's mount, and Goblin 2(since goblin 4 moved before you were able to cast). Goblin 1 falls from his mount as he and goblin 2 fall unconscious from the blinding colors shot at them from Ariza. Goblin 1 and Goblin 2 are unconscious for 2 rounds, blinded for 5 rounds, and stunned for 4 rounds. But the goblins Mount is unaffected. Denche you try to stab the goblins mount in the snout but your dagger misses. Rak you are able to cast your spell. The goblins mount will attack Denche, lashing out to bite the half orc but he fails to pierce the big mans armor. Goblin 3 will also move up at attack Ariza. This time the sword strikes true and connects with Ariza, drawing a little blood. She takes 1 point of damage. Sorin both of your attacks miss.

Can Rak change the target of the bonus from his Wrath spell? Since Ariza dropped Goblin 1 (the rider), that goblin doesn't make sense anymore. I will choose the dog instead, if you allow. (Ariza acted before Rak in Init order, so it makes sense that he would know the result of her spell before casting his own.)

Rak steps up to assist Denche with the goblin dog. He strikes at the ugly beast with his warhammer.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9 (+1 from Wrath)
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10 (+1 from Wrath)

Yes thats fine Rak. Waiting on actions from Ariza and Sorin

Sorin will take attacks on the goblin attacking him.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Ariza swings her quarterstaff directly at Goblin 3's head!

Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Wow nice dice rolls!!

GAH!!!!! I was just about done with the round wrap up and I closed my window...

Round 2 Wrap up

Goblin 4 lashes out with his dogslicer at Sorin but his swing goes wide. Ariza your words fail to impress and you drop your quarterstaff on your foot as you try to swing it. Denche you try to end the life of goblin 1 with your dagger. It enters the goblins head effortlessly and you are able to brain him. Rak you warhammer misses the goblin dog. The goblins mount will attack Denche, lashing out to bite the half orc but yet again he fails to pierce the big mans armor. Goblin 3 goes attack Ariza with his dogslicer but ends up stabbing himself instead, dealing 1 point of damage. Sorin your first attack misses but your second attack digs deep into the goblins thigh.

Feeling a rush of adrenaline, as the half-orc finally manages to stab something, he gets lost in the victorious moment. Alas, his revery is interrupted and his attention to the present swiftly returns as the dog tries to bite him again.

Now for you. he sneers subconsciously.
I need a rule clarification — does moving without leaving the same threat also provoke an AAO? If so, he does a 5-foot step north, otherwise circles tightly around the dog to be opposite of Rak for flanking purposes.

Denche looks at the ugly creature in front of him, searching for weak spots and then deftly slashes at its head.
dagger: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Noting Denche's position, Rak takes a short 5' step so that he is flanking the goblin dog, then swings in for another attack. This all assumes that Denche doesn't move from his current position. Denche acts before Rak, so if Denche does move, and Rak can still flank with a 5' step, he does. Rak will not move more than 5' to flank, however, as he doesn't want to draw an AoO himself!

Warhammer: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 22 (+1 Wrath, +2 flanking)
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9 (+1 Wrath)

Moving into a threatened space does not provoke moving THROUGH a threatened space does, if that helps to clerify

A 5' step never draws an AoO: Link "You can move 5 feet in any round when you don't perform any other kind of movement. Taking this 5-foot step never provokes an attack of opportunity. You can't take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can't take a 5-foot step in the same round that you move any distance."

Well yeah, but I wanted to make 10-foot move to also get a flanking bonus myself. I was still within the same threat-er's reach and only his. But to me it was not clear if moving within reach farther than a square would provoke an AAO or not. So I take it (let's say) that longer movement requires too much focus to not become exposed and provoke.

Yes that would provoke an attack of opportunity

"Evocii Sparkossi Jumblani"

Ariza takes a 5' step back from the Goblin and casts spark on it's loincloth.

Another two attacks, if one attack does the trick, move up to flank and strike for the 2nd.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

damage 1: 1d6 ⇒ 6 multiplied by 2 = 12

@Sorin, how do you know that you need to confirm a crit? Do you add one roll at a time and then edit the post to add the other rolls?
