Owww...that was not nice :-)

Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

The wizard breaks from cover to try and help his team mates and is peppered with arrows for his trouble. One nasty bolt was dipped in something he would rather not think about, but his training and toughness serve him well as he pulls the dart before it can infect him with whatever the little monsters have coated it with!

Round 3

In Hand: Composite Short Bow

Now able to see the assailant in the light of the enchanted crossbow bolt, Morgan moves forward and attempts to pick-off the goblin sniper.

Unless DU108 is dead ... then ... were IS the archer? LilGoblin? If it's LilGoblin then Mit'l will move to DO105 and stab him. If he's elsewhere I'd like to see where before specifying.

I don't think it's lilgob. He's somewhere beyond our source of light. Maybe the dwarves can tell us with their darkvision.

Missed Mit'l in the list :-(
Mit'l finishes off the last goblin warrior. Ozzy fires his lit bolt down the hall, and there is a lone archer in the door firing from improved cover sheltered by the door dotted lines

He fires a shot at Horster and Morgan.
Horster: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Morgan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Both arrow hit and inflict minimal wounds, but the arrows are coated in a nasty poison.
Same stuff--DC11 fort or 1d2 CON damage Chief added to the map.
"Leave me alone, or I set of the cave in trap!!"

ENTIRE PARTY TO GO

Not to be masochistic, but the chief rolled a Nat 20...

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Con Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Morgan's skin begins to burn at the site of the arrow-wound. She begins to feel woozy as the poison seeps into her bloodstream.

"The little bastards are poisoning their arrows! I should've known it wouldn't be this easy..." she grumbles through gritted teeth.

Ozmund, now able to see the goblin who had shot him, returned the favour with a magical bolt. Once cast he limps off to the south, out of line of sight for the bowman.

Magic Missile Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Once cast, Ozmund moves to DV 110

Standard action: Shoot at Chief (DF 107)

Attack Chief: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Horster somehow makes it to the wall, gaining cover from the chief. He loosens an arrow, but awash with fever, misses completely.

The poison continues to burn in some as the group rushes the goblin chief. Two beady eyes and a composite shortbow are all Kelgan sees as the goblin unloads two arrows.
hit1/damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Then a curse as the poison seems to come to an end.
hit2/damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

RECAP
The goblin chief fires two arrows at the armored dwarf not even hitting his armor or shield, the others dodge into the side passage, but cannot him. Only the wizards bolts with uncanny accuracy hit him without a problem.

First save stops the poison (CON damage remains and heals normally) 1pt/day?

Morgan makes an incredible shot, hitting the chief as he is well covered behind the door. He exclaims in pain.
"FLARGH foul FILTH"

"Bah!"

Theorn, still being roughed up and seeing Ozmund's condition fires off a channel energy and then moves up towards the others along the left wall, staying out of line of sight of the chief.

Accept some of the Sunlords healing Ozmund. I unfortunately don't have a miracle to stop the effects of the poison.

Full round action: Move to DL 109

Fortitude save round 2/6 DC11: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Horster uses M'til's distraction to move closer to Morgan. His body somehow fights to get the poison out of his system. He knows it'll still be a while before he's back to full strength.

He thinks, I'm not doing that well from range. I'll wait for the dwarves to catch up and then see if it's worth doing some REAL damage while the chief's busy...

Round 6 Initiative 5

In hand: axe and shield
Effects: Con -1
Actions: Double move to DE 108.

Kelgan continues to barrell down the hallway, hobnailed boots thuding on the stone floor. He dashes past Mit'L, weaves left, and rushes past the bow-armed Goblin Chief, hoping to take advantage of the humanoids distraction if it should draw the bow again.

Round 6

HP: 7/11 (after potion)
In hand: crossbow
Effects:
Move Action: Get potion from backpack
Standard Action: Drink Potion

Moving quickly out of the line of fire from the goblin, Ozmund reaches into his backpack to retrieve one of his healing potions. Seeing the others succumb to the poisoned arrows, he quaffs the magical elixir and feels some vitality return to his limbs.

Potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Recap

Hit by the ranger and wizard, the goblin chief dodges further blows. Protected by the sturdy door, he unloads two shots at the spear wielding attacker.
point blank: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Mit'l takes an arrow to the thigh.
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Round 7
Party up

The chief firing would provoke AoOs from Kelgram and Mit'L, would it not?

Apologies. Would Kelgan have been able to move to where he did last round, through the doors? And if so, would the chief have cover from him?

Not with improved cover. Oh, you moved past the closed doors. Just checked the map.

The king is behind a slightly ajar door. The other double door is barred. It would take Acrobatics to move through him.

Retroactive Acrobatics:

1d20 - 6 ⇒ (1) - 6 = -5

SLIGHT REVISION OF HISTORY

Barelling down the hall, Kelgan puts his shoulder into his shield and aims for the closed door.

And finds out, the hard way, that it is barred.

With a loud "Oof! and an extended groan, Kelgan comes to an abrupt stop in front of the doors.

What's the Acrobatics check? I could attempt it and stab him in the back with a sneak attack...

Round 7

In Hand: Composite Short Bow
Standard Action: hold

Unable to get a clear shot with Kelgan in her line of fire, Morgan waits for an opening before taking a shot.

It is a major acrobatics check=move at half speed and CMB+5 to move through a square. The bull rush to dislodge him may be easier. Or simply hacking at the door or bursting it open with a STR check.

Round 5

HP: 13/17
