Yanda mutters under her breath, "We only need 4, we only need 4," though she knows perfectly well that if that messenger bird made it they will be expecting 6. A severe case of wishful thinking.
Braxen is woken by Erlathan's loud yelling.
"By Torag's beard, elf, i'm not deaf you know."
He stands up, and draws his weapon.
====================
Wolves, round 2
"What a predicament. Lying on the ground in front of two hungry wolves with some disgusting goblins to boot! Joyous day!" He lobs some acid at the blue one, but tries to protect himself while doing so.
MoMS Monk 1 | HP 11/11 | AC: 17; Touch: 17; Flatfooted: 14; Linnorm Style -2 vs. melee | F +4, R+6, W +5 | Init +4, Perception +7
Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Finally startled awake by the looming wolf right next to him, Inu quickly shifts his body into a stance as he stands up, allowing the wolf to take a shot at him before swinging back.
Entering Linnorm Style and provoking an attack of opportunity by standing, then swinging. In the event the wolf does not AoO me this will deal 5 less damage.
Oh it would, as you're its potential chewy toy. :)
The wolf sees a new snack standing up.
Bite, vs prone:1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 = 10Gnaw:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
The wolf narrowly misses Inu, who misses his swing in return.
Erlathan swings his legs from right to left, giving him some time to cast his acid spell.
As it goes off, it flies past the wolf.
Wartnose cries out: "You no hurt wolves! They great animals, long shanks cruel!"
---------------
Blue Bite vs prone:1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 4 = 191d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Its jaws lock into Erlathan's ankle, and it bites into his flesh.
Green Bite vs prone:1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 = 81d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Green's bite misses its mark, potentially due to blue being busy with Erlathan's leg.
Red attacks Galtorr.
Bite:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 81d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
But like red, it fails short of being an effective wolf.

Boldren pulls his wand of magic missiles and activates the device. The magical wand sends a bolt of energy straight towards the blue wolf, which crashes into its face.
(Move action) retrieve wand of magic missile, (Standard action) fire a missile at the blue wolf.
With the sounds of combat, all gobbos wake up, even Pinkey and Big-eyes, though the latter two are disabled.
Marked with blue and pink border.
Goblin:
"Wolves!!" "Great animals, we take, yes yes!"
The goblins quickly start surrounding the wolves.
Goblin:
"Me ride, ride good!"
"No, you stupid, me good ride, you not!"
Scar-lip tries to mount the blue wolf.
AoO:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 201d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 Trip?:1d20 ⇒ 18, and is tripped for trying to do so.
As does Wartnose with green.
AoO:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 71d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Despite their attempts, both goblins fail.

Braxen
"Hey guys. The wolves are not attacking the goblins and the goblins are trying to mount the wolves. I'd like to stand back and see what happens. Worst thing, considering how feeble their bites are, is that we end up having to heal a few of them or they become baggage like the two over there. We can always jump in if things get too messy."
Erlathan considers Firewarden's words. "Did you not see that one wolf chomp at Scar face and Wart head, or whatever they're called, as they tried to mount them?"
He then tries to stand up, placing one foot firmly into the snow and pushing up from his knee. Cmon GM, be nice with that AoO ;)
Erlathan considers Firewarden's words. "Did you not see that one wolf chomp at Scar face and Wart head, or whatever they're called, as they tried to mount them?"
"Yea, but they did very little damage which is my point. If they want to risk it let them. If they are successful they get wolf mounts. I have a feeling that could end up being a good thing if this is all about supporting one side of a goblin challenge."
Is it possible to aid a goblin attempting to mount?
"And suppose they should mount one of the wolves and ride off into the snowy night like the tricksters they are. What then, Ms. Firewarden? Hmm?" Erlathan grins sarcastically.
You can aid. Let's say:
1) Handle animal, per diplomacy rules, to distract a wolf, so a gobbo can make a check. Handle animal is a trained skill though, and it seems aid other will require such too.
2) Intimidate, for the same distraction.
"I know it is a risk, and not inconsiderable, but I have this feeling. Besides, do you REALLY think they could not escape whenever they want to? The little buggers are resourceful. The manacles didn't even slow them down."
I have no idea if I'm right or not. I have not played or read or seen anything about this scenario. and I'll admit my player 'feelings' (which is what the character feelings are based off of) have been 100% wrong as often as not.
MoMS Monk 1 | HP 11/11 | AC: 17; Touch: 17; Flatfooted: 14; Linnorm Style -2 vs. melee | F +4, R+6, W +5 | Init +4, Perception +7
Inu cocks his head and thinks for a moment. "Very well Yanda. If you believe there is no risk I will cede to your judgment. However, I will not assist myself. I am... not the greatest with animals."
. Male Human(Varisian)Wizard 2 / HP 14/14 / AC 12 / T 12 / FF 10 / F +1 / R +2 / W +3 / Init +4 / Perc +8 / CMB +1 / CMD 13 Dagger +1/+3 (1d4/19-20) Light crossbow +3 (1d8/19-20) Magic Missile 2d4+2
"Unless there is some affinity that I am unaware of, the retarded goblins are going to get eaten if they don't befriend the wolf before attempting to ride it. Even if they did befriend it, it has no training in mounted combat. That being said, I'm tempted to use the wand of infernal healing on one of them and watch as the wolf tries to chew the ever healing goblin. That would be a very painful learning lesson."
I'll take Inu's delay to the next PC turn.
Boldren's talking is enough to fill a turn. :)
-------------------------
Wolves:
Between the adventurers and the eager goblins encircling them, the wolves are forced to choose, two weaker targets have presented themselves.
1d2 ⇒ 1Ah.
With his meager condition, Pinkey looks tasty...
Bite:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 131d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 1d20 ⇒ 3
Despite it being a meager hit, the goblin falls over.
"Not good...wolf too playful."
GM roll:
1d20 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (7) + 1 - 8 = 0
Red is also facing a weakened prey.
Bite:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Big-eyes' eyes grow a bit bigger even..."Big-eyes like playful....sleepy..."
---------------
Boldren's doing some long tactical analysis.
Yanda seems keen on 'watch the goblin'.
Galtorr & Inu
----------------
Goblins
----------------
Braxen
Galtorr's strike is firm, but the sands of sleep in his eyes are playing with him.
Inu lets the goblins try, as per Yanda's request.
---------------
The goblins seem little afraid of the wolves, still, more like unhealthily excited.
Goblin:
"Big-eyes be taking hurt."
"He be fine, they both warriors."
"Yes, they fine, they fine."
Scar-lip moves towards green...the wolf growls, and snaps at him when Scar-lip tries to grab its fur.
AoO:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 171d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 Trip?:1d20 ⇒ 20
Scar-lip is bit in the ankle, and is yanked prone too.
Wartnose tries it again on the wolf, but the animal won't budge.
Rude tries to climb onto the red wolf.
AoO:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 71d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
The goblin lifts his small leg in time to avoid the wolf's jaws, but fails to climb it, like the others.
-----------------
Braxen
"Yeah, that plan of letting them mount the wolves just isn't happening," Erlathan moves back five feet I stood up last round, but I know it's rough terrain so I'll probably eat an AoO and lobs some more acid at green.
"Well, I had hoped we could help the gobs, perhaps heal them and distract the wolves!"
Did you skip my round? I was hoping to do an aid another to reduce a wolves AC for a gob. But I just looked at the map and it looks like there were no openings for her anyway.
Anyway, perhaps an unconscious wolf would do the trick. If we revived it a gob could try a little wolf riding human style - all tied up.
Male Dwarf| HP 27/27 | Init+3; Per+10 | AC 16, T 13, FF 13 | F +2, R +7, W +1| Unchained Rogue 4 (Scout)
Since it is difficult terrain, Brax will attempt a Reposition maneuver and try to the move the goblin to his southeast back and out of the way. If successful, he will move into that square in preparation to attack next round.
Braxen tries grabbing a goblin, but the pest ducks.

I noticed that the northeast gob was down. I moved Yanda into its place. She whould have done an aid to lower greens AC against the next mount attempt.
You eat no aoo, as that was served to a goblin.
Imagine that, you get less attention than a goblin....what's the world coming to :P.
Wolves, round 4
Braxen tries grabbing a goblin, but the pest ducks.
Erlathan moves back and lobs a missing acid splash.
------------
Wolves
Green (-2) 1d4 ⇒ 3 Bite:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 171d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 Trip?:1d20 ⇒ 2
Green bites at Yanda's legs, but fails to yank her prone.
Red (-2) 1d3 ⇒ 2 Bite:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 121d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Red bites back at Galtorr, but fails to land a hit.

Once again, try to aid the next gobbo to try to mount green...
aid:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
Hah! In spite of her pathetic melee abilities, she manages the aid. -2 AC for green when the next mount attempt is done. If one is done and the gobs are not all passed out.
"This should be interesting, if they ever get their act together."
Boldren sends a magic missile into the wolf's flank, causing it to cry a short yelp. But that is nothing to the bloody dismemberment Galtorr performs, as he separates torso from the lower body.
Yanda distracts the wolf, potentially giving a goblin just the bitty edge he needs.
Inu

Inu leaves Yanda to her plan, observing..
---------------
Scar-lip tries to get onto the wolf.
He barely manages to grab some fur.
AoO:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 211d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 Trip?:1d20 ⇒ 10 But he isn't yanked prone.
Gm roll, no peeking.:
You peeked, Freddy Krueger's going to come haunt you tonight. :D
I peeked... Looks like I'm sleeping with one eye open...
"It's like my palm is a musket. A musket... Of acid!" He glowers at the wolf as he slings more acid its way.
Acid:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Erlathan's aim is improving, but he's not hitting the wolf, as both Yanda and goblins are messing with it.
