"AAAIIEEEE!!!" One goblin loses its balance and splashes to the floor; the others keep their feet--though not for long, as Thadd kills the one injured by Cadmuk. The monks two latest arrows skid off the rock, flying past the goblin in the back, who suddenly stops casting.

Is that all ya got?

She takes a 5 foot step back, and takes aim at the goblin in back standing up.

targeting goblin right behind grease

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d8 ⇒ 1

Seeing no way to get way to get at the goblins, Luc opens the door to the west, searching for a way behind the nasty little creatures.

If no way through is easily seen when opening the western door, Luc opens the south door.

Finding only a small office full of trash behind the west door, Luc opens the south door--coming face to face with a rapier-armed man who looks very very angry.

Cott!

After Luc opens the door revealing a new foe, Cott decides this is his moment.

He hisses the order to attack at Jenny, and they both move into the room around the desk to attack him.

I'm going to assume that Jenny is smart enough to avoid simple obstacles and go around the desk, instead of trying to go straight through it.

Cott: S S S S S W W S SE
Jenny: S S S S S E S S W

They both attack with razor sharp talons

Jenny Talon: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15

Talons can't find purchase on the man's armor, but his rapier can find purchase on Cott.

Cadmuk let loose another flury of shots at the goblin in front of Jasmine.

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Damage: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5

However, his arms grow tired pulling back on the bow and he cannot hold the shot long enough to aim well.

I was using a crossbow so no AOO for me :(

Jasmine, curses as the goblin simply walks by her, as she is holding her bow. Se drops her crossbow, causes a dagger to spring from her wrist and takes a jab at the goblin in front of her.

dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

dam: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Thadd swipes twice at the female goblin.

Power Attack AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29, Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15, Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Cott and Jasmine take down the goblin caster, but Thadd misses his second target. Cadmuk doesn't fare any better. Cott and Jenny get in a few scratches, but not enough to take down the fighter. Crit not confirmed.

Khakil and Luc!

Khakil can't stifle the giddy giggle that arises when his plan works and the ugly creature jumps to lock lips with Thadd. He cuts himself off just as quick as the goblin is cut down. "Aww. That didn't last nearly as long as I had hoped."

He begins a performance to Inspire Courage in his allies with haiku...

"Strong, handsome fighter,
But don't expect a romance,
He's too shy to love."

...while also still having fun with the situation.

He throws down his shield and dashes past Jasmine, taking Thaddaeus' side while pulling out his longspear.

Luc leaps easily up on to the table next to the rapier wielding man, and disarms him. He smirks at the man and says, "I think you should surrender, sir."

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Disarm: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Luc's jump is more than enough to make the desk, scattering papers left and right, but the man's tight grip keeps the rapier fast in his hand. "Uh huh," is all he grunts in reply before methodically stabbing the druid again.

Rapier @ Cott: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 HIT Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The goblin in the back tries to stand, and succeeds! Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 SUCCESS Full round to stand.

The other two attack. Two shortswords come for Thaddaeus!

Shortsword @ Thadd: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 MISS
Shortsword @ Thadd: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 MISS

The weasel tries to scamper across the slippery floor and attach itself to Thaddeus. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 SUCCESS Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 MISS

The movement prompts AoOs from Thadd and Khakil.

All PCs are up!

That's just barely enough to kill him. Only the goblins remain!

Round III

Cadmuk takes a five foot step closer and lets loose another flury of shots at the closest goblin.

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Damage: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 6

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

"A weasel? Seriously?" Thadd stabs at the vermin before turning his attention back to the goblins.

AoO, Inspire Courage, Flank: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20, Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Attack, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16, Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I have a reach weapon-do I get an AoO against the goblin that stabs up? If so use this roll on him and not the weasel, please.

The bard sees an opportunity to strike when the creature moves and takes it!

Longspear AoO: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

He ends his performance and tries to stab at the goblin just in front of him, but isn't able to change targets quickly enough to land an accurate hit.

Longspear: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Lingering Performance persists for 2 more rounds.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thadd easily kills the weasel but has a little trouble getting through the goblin's armor. Cadmuk lands one shot, but has difficulty shooting around his friends. Khakil likewise has difficulty hitting one goblin through the flailings of the others. (A longspear is a reach weapon; you can't hit things that are adjacent to you, only things that are 10 feet away.)

Luc and Jasmine!

Yep, but it has a lot of armor and has a friend in the way. My comment on reach was regarding your non-AoO attack.

Dagnabit-if that's the case:

Failing to connect his attacks, Khakil drops his longspear and pulls out his rapier.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I missed the inspire courage. If possible, kindly add +1 to my two attack rolls. I'm not sure if it would make a difference on that first shot.

With a slight adjustment to the way she is holding the dagger, and a flick of the wrist, she flings the dagger the the goblin in the rear not in melee, hoping to catch him off-guard.

ranged dagger: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 21

Rapier it is. Cadmuk's first shot hits now, although it doesn't kill the goblin; Jasmine's shot has the same problem (bodies in the way) and misses.

Luc!

Luc is unable to reach the goblins, so he readies himself to attack any enemy that comes within reach.

Shortsword @ Thadd: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 MISS
Shortsword @ Khakil: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 MISS

The goblin in the back in impatient and tries to run around everybody, but falls flat on his face almost instantly. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Meanwhile, the troll set to guarding the front entrance just can't stand the waiting anymore, and decides to follow the scent of blood. The huge creatures smashes through the door and squeezes into the hallway, club in hand.

Cadmuk fires off another flury of shots at closest goblin.

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1

Sadly, with no strength, Cadmuk is becoming practically useless. :-(

Did you forget the bonus for inspire courage again, Cad?

Thadd swings at the nearest goblin.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21, Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

The bard's eyes practically pop out of his head when he sees the troll lumber in.

"Oh! I should not have dropped my shield!"

He flicks his wrist and manages to connect with the goblin just in front of him. It seems to hit the perfect mark at first, but the cut doesn't go too deep.

Rapier: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Critical Confirm: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

He then eyes his shield just behind Jasmine, and tries to roll to it without giving an opening to the goblin. Move east twice if successful.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Lingering performance still in affect until the ends of next round.

Did you forget the bonus for inspire courage again, Cad?

I remembered the Inspire Courage this time, but the strength penalty for the bow did not exceed the damage roll. So I hit both shots but did practically no damage.

Cad's arrows do a minimum of damage to the already-bleeding goblin, right before Thadd cuts it down for good. Khakil does a bit of damage before moving back to his shield, taking a blow from the goblin in front of him.

Shortsword (AoO) @ Khakil: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 CRIT THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 CONFIRMED Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

OMG! I totally forgot that Inspire Courage was also damage. Yes, I still need to add that. Now Cadmuk has done a few more points of damage. Thanks!

Jasmine, will step up, drawing a dagger from her belt as she goes. She takes a stab at the goblin, hoping to draw blood.

dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Jasmine draws some blood!

Will Cott be able to open the door as a dino with human intelligence, or would it only be a possibility with a strength check?

-Posted with Wayfinder

None of them are locked, so just barreling through should be fine. No check needed.

Luc!

No Luc in over a day (pun definitely intended), so...

The downed goblin keeps trying to get up Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 and takes his sweet time doing so. Full round because grease. The other stabs at Jasmine! Shortsword @ Jasmine: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 MISS Or tries, rather.

The troll lumbers down the hallway and tries to chomp on the first creature it sees--Jenny, in this case. Bite @ Jenny: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 2 = 18 HIT Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Its long tusks puncture deep into the wounded raptor, drawing forth a thick flow of bloody and a meaty laugh from the troll himself.

Cadmuk fires a flury of shots and the same goblin he's been attacking.

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 = 12

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 = 29

Khakil grabs his shield off of the ground and begins a new performance to once again Inspire Courage.
