Close!

Round 1 - Heroes act first

At the moment only Domingo is aware of the goblins in the other room.

there are two more goblins in here! Domingo shouts as swiftly he sheathes his sword and pulls out his bow.

I am cut off! I hope Ralph is ok, but I can dfo nothing to help him now, I have my own problems.

Yeah you can.

Ralph attempts to climb out again R12

Hearing Dom's shout of more goblin's Gelbor heads to help him out.

"Davos help Ralph, i'm going for Dom."

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

He moves across to send next to dom. O12

Go on Gelbor, ill try help our friend up out of this mess

Davos places his scroll back in his case

Forget my last post

Gelbor not wanting to risk a swim in the sewage starts to run east around the building, as he starts to leave he shouts to Davos.

"Help Ralph up, i'm going around to find a easier way in"

I move as far around as i can if i find another way in i stop there if not i go all the way around.

The first goblin pokes his head over the barrels, balances the heavy crossbow and lets the bolt loose at Domingo. The recoil almost knocks him off his feet.

Goblin 1: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19
Goblin 1, crit confirm: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19
dmage: 2d10 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

OUCH!

Round 1 summary

Ralph Davos
The wizard and the alchemist scramble among the filth. Ralph manages to haul himself out of the sewage onto the ladder. Davos helps him safely back on to the bank.

Gelbor
Gelbor on the other hand rushes around the side of the building looking for another entrance. Halfway around the West wall, he is yet to find one.

Domingo
Domingo sheathes his sword and draws his bow, realising he is stranded and facing two foes he calls for help.

Goblin 1
The first goblin unleashes a bolt from the oversized crossbow. Through cruel luck, somehow it flies true. The bolt punches easily through Domingo's armor, piercing his chest. He coughs up bubbles of blood as his left lung fills with fluid. He is in serious trouble.

Goblin 2
The second of the monsters struggles with the mechanism but eventually manages to load his crossbow.

Round 2 - Heroes' turn

Davos lies down on his stomach in the filth and help Ralph

"Ralph take my hand!"

Aid Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Domingo cries out as the bolt rips through his chest,
Grimacing in pain he raises his bow and with his last ounce
Of strength draws and let's fly.

bow: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 = 14

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

prepare to die!! he smiles and as blood bubbles from his lips
He collapses to the ground

Some confusion so going to clarify. Gelbor - there is no way East, the building backs right up onto the massive sea wall that splits the city in two. Davos - Ralph wanted to climb the ladder out and managed to so there is no need for you to aid him

Because I'm generous you two can revise your actions for this round if you like.

Gelbor seeing no other way, to get across shakes his head.

"I'm more stupid that i give myself credit for.. Davos get Ralph."

He then steps back from the door runs and jump into the sewerage, moving asfar to Dom as he can.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Then as the stench starts to get to him, he tries to shake off the smell.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
--
When gets to the wall he attempts to climb up to Dom's level.

Very generous!

Jumping in the sewage was round 1 action, climbing is round 2 - I understand

Climb: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 = 26

Awesome, Gelbor climbs out beside Domingo. better still, that roll wasted another potential crit!

Ralph sees that Domingo is in trouble
I am going to regret this later but I can't let him die.
Ralph turns round a jumps back in and struggles through the thick sludge gagging all the way

You don't have enough actions. You can use one hero point to get another standard action and try to climb out and I'm willing for you to use the other to get a +4 on the roll if you like or +8 if I do it?

Roll for me I need to get up there and out of the s@*@ again

Climb, hero point: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 1 = 25

Ralph also scrambles out. I just rolled 19, 19, 20, 18 meaning I also would have confirmed the next crit on Gelbor - likely knocking him into negatives too!

Then I suppose ill try and cross the plank

Davos crawls across the plank to try and give himself more balance, since Davos lacks any physical skills.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The plank is submerged in the sewage Davos, happened when Ralph fell in. That's why they both jumped in instead of crossing the plank.

Round summary at 18:00 if you want to edit your action Davos.

No worries, guess no other planks around

Davos realises he needs to get to the other side of the room, Davos climbs down into the filthy sewage and can barely breath from the stench, he picks up and ladder and places it on the other side of the room P13

The goblin whose bolt so devastatingly laid Domingo low, dances around and laughs maniacally. He composes himself long enough to reload his weapon.

The second goblin, now ready to fire, aims his cross bow at Ralph and pulls the trigger.

Goblin 2 on Ralph: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 4 = 2

The recoil slams the shoulder rest into the goblin's face as the the bolt flies off into the wall.

Round 2 summary

Domingo
The warrior, showing heart even in desperation, fires his arrow. It whizzes past the goblin's head though Domingo is no longer conscious to see it.

Ralph and Gelbor
The alchemist and rogue see their newfound comrade in trouble and, showing that a budding friendship is more important than their own dignity, scramble back through the filth and up the other side.

Davos
Davos on the other hand, demonstrating that brains are just as effective as brawn, calmly takes the ladder that rests against the wall leading to the attic space, and lays it across the gap. Hero point awarded to Davos for logical thinking under pressure!

Goblin 1
Reloads

Goblin 2
Fires wildly at Ralph, missing by several feet.

Map updated

Ralph quickly attends to Domingo's wounds
Heal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Davos climbs the ladder and moves into the room O12 and falls down prone to make him a smaller target for the Goblins to fire at

stabilise: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 1 = 8

The unconscious Domingo groans,the pool of his own blood growing ever wider as the seconds tick by. He still clings to life despite the grievous wound he has suffered.

Hp -2

Forgot to do description of this room by the way.

The floor of this room has fallen away, leaving a narrow, charred ledge along the south and east walls. To the northwest, a ledge heaped with crates and barrels sits, while above the rafters of the attic lay bare to view.

Gelbor pulls out his short sword and heads for the Goblins. k13

"This is the time for ranged take them down before they take us down"

"Is that the closest i can get?

Yep

The first goblin levels his crossbow at Ralph, annoyed he is trying to help the long-shanks he stuck earlier.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 4 = 7

But again his aim is poor and the bolt misses by a good distance.

The second goblin reloads.

Round 2 summary

Ralph
The alchemist bends down to help Domingo but is not able to staunch the bleeding.

Davos
Davos meantime moves across his ladder bridge and takes position beside the fallen warrior.

Gelbor
Dismayed that he cannot get directly to the goblins skirts the pool to get in a better position.

Map updated

Round 3 - Heroes' turn

Ralph attempts again to heal domingos wounds
Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 16
I cheated on my first role forgot about the minuses to wisdom due to mutagen

Gelbor thinking about jumping it, waits to see what the rest of the group does and stands ready for an attack.

I take total defence

Davos realises needs to take some action here amongst all this chaos, he stands up and points his finger at the Goblin K11

Starts to cast ray of frost the moisture in the air starts to form around the tip of his finger into ice then a line darts out into the target

Hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Dmg: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The goblin with the loaded crossbow turns toward the advancing Gelbor and fires.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 = 13

The rogue is too nimble however and sidesteps the shot.

The other goblin reloads.

Round 3 summary

Ralph
The alchemist finally manages to remove the bolt from Domingo and, searching the warrior, finds a clean rag to stuff into the hole. The bleeding has stopped for now.

Gelbor
Gelbor seems in two minds about whether to make the jump. He stands defensively and easily avoids the shot from the second goblin.

Davos
With complex gestures and incantations, Davos points his finger and sends out a ray of frigid air. His aim is poor however and ray splashes harmlessly against a crate.

Goblins
Whilst one reloads, the other fires at Gelbor and curses loudly when the shot misses.

Round 4 - Heroes' turn

"Davos, Ralph! finish this!"

He then crouches down and repairs to dodge the next attack.

right! domingos stable lets finish these two then get him out of here
Ralph pulls a vial from his chest and hurls it nearest goblin K11
Bomb To Hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
5 splash damage DC 15 reflex for half

Damn it should have worked maybe I was pointing with the wrong finger ill try again

Starts to cast ray of frost the moisture in the air starts to form around the tip of his finger into ice then a line darts out into the target

Hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Dmg: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

.....Domingo wakes and smiles as he recognises the familiar surroundings of his fathers workshop. The smell of the place seems so sharp and clear he cannot breathe in enough of it.
His father he can hear working in the next room , the magic room that housed the forge where he crated his wonderful weapons, the ring of his fathers hammer fills the room with sound so clear it is almost painful.
Domingo turns to the doorway of the forge when a woman's voice calls to him , turning toward the Backdoor of the shop he rushes forward passing his old battered practice sword that stood beside the door he reaches out and flings the door wide, outside there is nothing but light, brighter than a summers day , the all too familiar voice calls him and he rushes toward the light but try as he might it seems just out of reach......

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The two goblins are engulfed in flame and die in burning agony.

Combat over.

We need to get domingo out of here, or someone needs to get him healing

We better go out the way we came in, Gelbor give us a hand to get him down the ladder so we can get out of here

Local: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
for nearest temple to get healing

"I'll go buy a potion, but we don't really know what's in the next room do you think you two can keep quiet while i run out i could be over an hour."

Gelbor then kneels over Dom, just double checking he's still alive.

"I shouldn't have taken his last potion..."

Im going to throw you guys a bone here and suggest you search the goblins

Loot

2x small daggers
2x medium heavy crossbows
7x bolts
9gp
1x potion clw in a once ornate perfume bottle.

Behind the goblins there is a small hole in the north wall you could probably just squeeze through and of course thrre is the door.

"Let me search the Goblins first, they might have something."

Geblor jumps over and searches the Goblin's.

"I found a bottle on one of them, it smells and tastes like a cure potion, let's just give it to him."

He then pours the potion down dom's throat.

Cure Light Potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Excellent stuff Gelbor good thinking".

I hope its enough to bring Dom back around

Domingo regains consciousness. The magical concoction goes some way to closing the grievous wound but it still seeps a trickle of blood.

Domingo comes round slowly, his face still drawn with pain as he sits up and grimaces slightly the terrible wound in his chest seeping blood.

you have my thanksmy friends, i thought iwas done for then for sure.that was a bad situation. I see you managed to dispatch those viscious litre s!*&s!
Standing up and retrieving his weapons Domingo feels gingerly around the wound
I think my ribs are broken, but I'm ok to carry on. What's the plan? Do we press on and find Natalya?

Davos looks at the other party members to try and gauge the condition of everyone

Are you sure Dom? Well I can carry on. Gelbor, Ralph how are you guys? Able to carry on or shall we get out of here to rest up?

While the others are gathering their thoughts and discussing the next plan

Davos grabs the ladder and moves over to where the small hole and takes a peek inside

I can carry on, but we are not going to have any more healing if any of us go down

"I'm glad your back with us Dom, how are you feeling? maybe you should hold back a bit i'll take lead on this one, we have to keep going i want to get to the bottom of this."

Geblor thinks for a second then speaks up.

"That must be two ways in, i don't really want to split us up again and that hole could just be a massive trap for whoever is squeezing in it, let's go through the door slowly."

He then moves to the door trying to hear anything through it and also looks to see if there any way to look through it.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
