Jerome joins the others as they eat, quite pleased at the taste of Ameiko's dishes as he samples the ale. Very noce. Quite a treat after a long travel.
Excellent now we can continue on with one of the most famous encounters from this adventure path!
Finally, as the sun begins to set, everyone is gathered around the central podium. As the crowd grows ever larger and the last few stragglers make it to the group father Zantus takes the central podium. He uses a thunderstone to attract everyone's attention, and clears his throat as he prepares to recite the Prayer of First Dreaming. A sharp retort to the thunderstone, like the crack of distant thunder, slices through the excited crowd as the sun's setting rays paint the western sky. A stray dog that has crawled under a nearby wagon to sleep starts awake, and the buzz of two dozen conversations quickly hushes as all heads turn toward the central podium, where a beaming Father Zantus has taken the stage. He clears his throat, takes a breath to speak, and suddenly a woman's scream slices through the air. A few moments later, another scream raises, then another. Beyond them, a sudden surge of strange new voices rises. High-pitched, tittering shrieks that sound not quite human fill the air. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. As blood pools around its head, the raucous sound of a strange song begins, chanted from shrill, scratchy voices.
Everyone please roll me initiatives and then please roll me perception checks
Perception check DC 12:
The shape that raced by and killed the dog now hides at the wagon's edge-a single goblin, licking the blood from its dogslicer as it looks excitedly at the crowd, seeking out a new target.
------
The song that the goblins are singing can be found here...sorry for very poor sound quality.
Damn, here in town? Noro stands puts her and on Jerome's shoulder. looksh like we have shome uninvited guestsh. her muscles tense up as she gets ready to smash some goblin heads.
As some of you are about to rush forward to engage the goblin two more show up at your flank. The crowd scatters and chaos ensues as the goblins start making there way towards some of the townsfolk. One of the goblins climbs up on a table and raises his dogslicer high over his head ready to draw it down on a poor young woman but Zelladania thinks fast and lets loose an arrow that pierces right through the creatures throat. Blood spirts out of the creature as he first falls to his knees and then off the table. The woman screams in horror and faints but she is safe. Another goblin starts making its way towards the crowd. It tries to draw its dogslicer but drops it. The third goblin draws his dogslicer and starts advancing on Zelladania, saying something in a strange tongue.
Zella will aim and fire at the goblin advancing upon her. If someone manages to drop him before he gets to her she shoots at the nearest other goblin. If he stays up but gets too close, Zella will back up as necessary before firing upon him.
What is going on here? Doesn't seem normal for cowardly, rotten little gobs to be attacking such a large festival?"
I do apologize I forgot my flash drive today so I won't be able to update the combat until Monday as I probably won't have time to get online until then...my apologizes.
Zella will aim and fire at the goblin advancing upon her. The arrow shots true and hits the goblin in the shoulder. The creature lets out a howl but continues to come at the young archer. Before Jerome can get there to intervene he draws his dogslicer and tries to strike at the young beautiful archer. The wicked blade connects with her leg and she takes 2 points of damage. Viviana you jab at one of the goblins but your strike misses. Xogar you strike at the goblin that Viviana tries to attack and miss. Noro you head towards Zelladania and try to strike at the goblin but your punch misses. Jerome you move to set up a flank with Zelladania and swing your greatsword at the goblin that attacked her. It explodes in a pool of blood as your sword cleaves it in two. Such a mighty show of strength for someone who just hours before hurt himself. The goblin that Xogar and Viviana tried attacking will try to go after the large half orc with its dogslicer but it misses wildly.
Not a bad round...oh the joys of level one lol. Post your next actions plese. Noro i changed your actions because your not at the wagon quite yet...thats the next battle scene.
Zella give a small cry of pain as the goblin's weapon cuts into her thigh. Worried about how to fend off the goblin at close range, she is relieved to see both Noro and Jerome come to her aid. With a nod of thanks to both, Zella looks about for a new target.
Spotting a goblin attacking a half-orc, Zella grimaces as she takes a step towards them and them fires her bow.
5ft step and fire
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage 1d6 ⇒ 1

The arrow sticks squarely in the goblins shoulder but it seems unphased by it. Seeing that the creature's attention is occupied,Viviana tries to move behind him and strikes again but she gets tangled in her dress and almost falls. Xogar swings again well yelling "Hold still!". His mighty sword slices into the creature and it drops.
You hear the screams of more terror filled citizens of sandpoint as more goblins flood into the city. You take a second to gather your wits about you but that minor pause proves costly as a loud explosion is heard from up the street from where you are. As you rush to see what happened you see 3 more goblins wielding torches and another goblin standing behind them singing. The ones holding torches rush towards the party, evil intent glimmering in their eyes.

looksh like your not such a bad warrior after all Noro comments to Jerome after the turnaround from the weight lifting competition.[/b]
but the converation is cut short with the newest batch of goblins entering the fray.
after a quick scan of her comapnions Jerome, protect the archers, I'm going after that one in the back, he might be a leader
Noro moves toward the drummer rage building up inside.
if within a charge range then Noro will charge the drummer and make a diving grapple attack to bring him to the ground. Grapple attempt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 diveing attack is really a cinimatic maneuver
Zelladania will fire an arrow at one of the torch wielding goblins rushing them. The arrow flies true and strikes the goblin right in the chest. The goblin that was struck with the arrow will rush up to Viviana and swing his torch at the young woman. He begins his swing but something interferes with it and he drops his torch and looks down at it rather confused. Viviana hits the goblin that is defenseless standing in front of her. Another goblin steps up and tries to attack Xogar with his torch, but his swing goes wide. Noro charges the singing goblin and makes a diving attempt to pin the goblin down.will charge the drummer and make a diving grapple attack to bring him to the ground. The goblin and Noro collide and for the moment Noro has the goblin pinned but he is continuing to sing. Jerome strikes the goblin standing in front of Xogar with his great sword. The sword catches the poor creature in the arm opening up a very large gash. The last torch weilding goblin moves in towards Noro and tries to burn him but misses with the torch. The Singing goblin will try to take control of the grapple but he is easily no match for the strong barbarian.
Shut up you little bugger Noro yells at the goblin she is grappling getting madder by the second. As she tightens her grip on the goblin's throat and pounds him in the face.
enter rage and maintain grapple to inflict damage with her brass knuckles.
