Hekk, the unstoppable machine of death, steps closer to green and stabs it with his spear.

Hekk starts putting the gobs down, still leaving the orange one alive.

Aryas tries not to show but it bothers him to kill in cold blood... even if they are goblins.

He returns to the bound goblin with his oratory book of masterpieces.

”I would very much appreciate it if you would tell us more about this leader of yours and his plans for the town. We ... we really need to show the others that you can and want to change... please ... “

Diplomacy : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Tareal whips out her curative wand and looks at his companions.
"Does anyone need some healing!"

”I am fine! Thanks a lot!“ Aryas smiles at Tareal.

"Oh my, yes. I could use a patch-up!"

Nanny thanks Tareal as she pulls the arrow from her arm.

CLW Wand 1: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

1 Charge will do it.

Hekk checks himself and to his surprise has not sustained even a scratch.

Stupid pathetic goblins.

As a player I found it uncomfortable to RP Hekk as so callous. Funny how sometimes your own characters can do that to you.

ha ha! Hekk is awesome! I enjoy all your characters... ;-)

As the battle fades, a slight burning, stinging sensation on his arm draws his attention and Tathane twists to look. A ragged, red slice cuts through is shirt near the top of his left arm. "Ah. Looks like one of them got me. But just barely." When Nanny offers healing he waves her away. "Nah. Don't worry about this. It will be fine by tomorrow. Save your magic for more serious wounds."

He joins Aryas and the goblin.

Aid Another (Diplomacy): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Looking at the goblin Tareal speaks up.
"Listen, gobbo, there are two ways. Either you tell us what you know or .... the other option will most likely not nice. So how about way one. You can return later and tell them how you escaped us, and be a hero."
Diplo: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Hekk makes sure the dead or dying goblins are dead.

Aryas flinches as Hekk put his spear through the helpless goblins, he turns to go talk to the captive goblin.

The captive goblin babbles in goblin language, looking pale as he watches Hekk kill his fellow goblins.

Tarael offers to heal anyone.

Nanny accepts a touch of the healing wand after removing the arrow from her arm. With a glow of divine magic, the wound quickly heals and is gone.

Hekk checks himself over and scoffs at the pathetic goblins warriors.

Tathane joins Aryas in talking to the goblin, translating the goblin’s words.

Tarael joins the group around the goblin.

The goblin gulps as he speaks in goblin ” Our leader Scary big-chief. He kills old chief and makes us roll in purple mud and come here. He big and strong and have lots of sharp teeth and sometimes he eats us when we do bad. He has us goblins watch town and attack when townsfolk seem weakest! Don’t kill Sharp tooth! I am a good goblin!”

As your group is questioning the goblin captive suddenly, the sound of a trumpet rings out over the field, becoming louder as its player approaches. The goblin scout party leader followed by three goblins and another goblin dog enter the field ready to attack.

Tathane, Hekk, Aryas, Nanny can Act

How many of the goblins have missile weapons? And is the river/creek fordable at a particular location or is it all just a foot or two deep?

Hekk yells out, "Stupid goblins. Come here!"

Then he wisely jogs over to the tree and hides behind the trunk.

Aryas drops his Scimitar as he knows that it is attached with a weapon cord.

He walks behind the tree to have cover and during the move draws his crossbow.

He shoots his crossbow at the black goblin.

Tathane looks up. "More? There are more goblins?" He looks back to the captured goblin. "Sorry. Looks like more of your friends are going to be killed."

He moves towards the goblins, pulling an arrow on his shortbow and fires at the closest goblin.

shortbow@black: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Hekk looks at the river creek although Clover Stream is normally little more than a trickle in most places, it’s engorged from recent rains, and anyone who wishes to cross the stream must succeed at swimming to cross it. Hekk wisely calls out to the goblins and then takes cover behind a tree.

DC 10 Swim check

Aryas drops his scimitar, then draws and fires his hitting the lead goblin. She snarls at him ignoring the wound.

Nanny takes a shot with her bow missing the black goblin.

Tathane looks at the third wave of goblins firing his short bow at the first one hitting her causing her to snarl with hatred at him.

The black goblin grows the attack command as she moves up to the stream and in her rage throws a javelin at Tathane and misses.

The goblin dog runs up to the stream and easily leaps across the flooded creek before closing with Aryas, but can’t attack yet.

The three other goblins move up to the creek and fire their bows at Tathane. The first arrow bounces off his armor, the second missed him, but the third hit Tathane directly wounding the half-elf.

"Bad doggie."

Staying behind his friend the tree, Hekk lashes out at the only thing stupid enough to charge.

To Hit longspear: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Unfortunately his luck runs out and he misses badly.

Seeing Tathane rush out into the open, presenting himself as an ideal target, Hekk yells

"Aw, heck Tathane. Find cover and they'll come to you."

Aryas steps back, drop his crossbow and readies to attack with his scimitar.

Tathane drops to one knee and fires again at the lead goblin, hitting her again.

Nanny moves up and fires again with her longbow at the black gobblin hitting her. The goblin rages on.

Bot: Tareal continues to delay.

The black goblin takes out a potion and swallows its contents causing several of its wounds to heal.

Longbow, bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 for Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 2.

shortbow@black,PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
damage,PBS: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

After watching the arrow skewer the nasty creature he grunts. "Hah. See how you like that?" Only then does he notice the half a dozen arrows on the ground near him. He realizes that maybe it would be safer back in the trees. He stands and sprints back to the rest of the group.

Tathane look over his left shoulder to find that all of his allies are hiding back in the trees and bushes. "Hey! You guys! Why am I the only up here doing the fighting?"

"Because you're an idiot!"

And they say barbarians always charge into trouble.

Then Talthane scurries back.

"That's more like it."

Aryas picks up and loads his crossbow.

Hekk swaps to his bow while using a tree for cover.

Tareal asks the spirits to guide Hekk.

Tathane mocks a frown at Hekk then breaks into a sharp laugh. "You say I'm an idiot? I say I'm the only brave one, you lug." He points at the goblin crossing. "Watch this." He runs across the open space away from the group forcing the goblin to choose a side. Whichever side the goblin chooses, someone will be able to flank it.

"Gotcha, ya bugger."

Tathane glances off to his left and sees the entire group huddled in the cover of the tree. He laughs to himself. "Ha. I never thought I'd see the day when I was braver than a half-orc," he shouts back to Hekk. Then he hops over the short fence to his right and stays crouched as he runs along it. He pops up enough to fire an arrow at another goblin then drops behind it.

"Goblins swarm. Like ants. There's more."

Hekk joins the looting while performing his duty by executing the survivors. He leaves the one that looks like a leader though.
