*Don't forget +1 to hit from bless*

Round 3

Vatilda scans the area holding her palm out like it is a loaded weapon, and speaks with a taunting tone. "Nyidii mog losch vada gorcha..."

perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

>Current view repost<

Good point on the +1, Argrim your attack would have still missed at 17, partial cover is +2

Vatilda is so focused in her taunting tone, she does not see the goblins.

Nibb - moves back behind the dwarves

GM: I'm just gonna keep waiting for gobbos to shoot. If you want additional perception/stealth checks, let me know.

"Argrim's plan seems to be working. Keep steady now, lads."

RD 3:
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 perception
1d20 - 5 ⇒ (20) - 5 = 15 stealth

Careful lads, they are trying to move around us. Rammellorn watch your side Varl gruffly yells in dwarven while moving up to hopefully draw the fire of any goblin arrows.

Double Move to F15

karnog I already had your Rd 3 perception and stealth check, roger that with the waiting till you can see them. I'll use your latest rolls for the next round if need be. I suspect that is what others are waiting on to since most the group can't see them yet. I'll post their actions shortly, if nobody has posted an action.

Rd 3: G4 goblins

As Varl moves up, he sees lots of the little boogers pop up and start shooting.

sh bow,J14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10;1d1d4 ⇒ 2
sh bow,J15: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5;1d1d4 ⇒ 3

The arrows whiz by harmlessly.

There are 4 goblins that have not gone group G3

ENCOUNTER MAP

GM, can I sneak around the tree and approach the goblins from the rear flank?

You can try to sneak around the tree and approach from the rear flank.

Also, I got lost in the thread, but I think that the rat swarm did me some damage. How many hit points am I at. I think 20/24.

Rammellorn stows the bow to ready the long axe and sneak around towards the rear flank of the goblin. Move to D20 if possible. If I need to make a stealth check, I will, but it is not a class skill.

You did take damage from the rat...4 Hp I believe but I need to go back and check.

You need to make stealth if you are trying to sneak, you only get 10 feet of movement with stealth.

Stealth 1d20 ⇒ 11

Move to E21, undetected if possible.

Rammellorn attempts to sneak up on the goblin's rear flank.

Rammellorn it was 5 HP of damage from the rats. I'll let you use your self healing during that journey to the goblins if you want.

perception, goblin to see Rammellorn: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

He see you Rammellorn and starts to squeal in his foul tongue.

Everyone is so cautious, surely you can't think some small goblins are that dangerous to you at this point in the the campaign.

Just trying to stick to the plan ...but ...

Kalim goes towards where he hears the squeal.

Rd 3: mid-round recap

G1 - dead
Argrim - see's a nearby goblin but misses
Rammellorn - moved to E21, trying to sneak - unsuccessfully
Varl - moved up to F15, double move

*holding waiting for the goblins to get within range.

Healing boon 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

On my his next turn, Rammellorn will charge goblin at C16 and use power attack with long axe.

Attack 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 1 = 25

Damage 1d12 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16

Confirm that mutha!

Kalim you are able to go straight to I 16, cutting under the trees. the trees act more as a canopy, and not so difficult to get around. You see a goblin in your range at J15 and there is a second goblin at J14.

You have a standard action.

Healing boon 1d4+1

On my his next turn, Rammellorn will charge goblin at C16 and use power attack with long axe.

Attack 1d20+6-1

Damage 1d12+4+2

I'll note this for your Rd 4 action. the goblin will be down.

Rd 3: Last grouping of goblins

Three of the goblins move closer. Two shot at Varl and one uses a dog slicer on Varl.

G4: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12;dam: 1d4 ⇒ 2
G5: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14;dam: 1d4 ⇒ 3
G6, dog slicer: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12;dam: 1d4 ⇒ 3

They all miss the dwarf.

UPDATED BATTLE MAP

Confirm Crit 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 1 = 9

Would I be jumping the gun to post my round 5 action, since I am usually working during the gist of the action?

Confirm Crit 1d20+6-1

You have effectively separated him from his head, next round.

For the 4th round, Nibb is going to shoot the goblin at F9, and then uses his move action to reload.

Would I be jumping the gun to post my round 5 action, since I am usually working during the gist of the action?

That would fine. Put it under a spoiler for me. I may adjust it slightly, if necessary, to make it work based on what, if any, creatures are alive.

@Baldwin, does Argrim have enough cover to attempt stealth for the D16 gobbo, so he can get sneak?

Thanks for the tactical help.
Round 4

Argrim looks at the goblin that he traded arrows and puts two fingers to his eyes and extends them to the goblin. He then ducks behind cover and stealths along the trail. stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

He moves near the brush F17 trying to get the drop on the goblin J14. He then shoots him. shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 +1 vs. goblin and bless added. If hit, damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 +sneak: 1d6 ⇒ 1 if he can sneak.

Round 4

Raising his axe, Varl brings it swinging down with a snarl towards the goblin who just attacked him with the dogslicer.

Attack Roll 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12

I need to see the map again to know if another is within cleave range, but I doubt he is.

>Current map repost<

Round 4

Vatilda moves forward looking for a goblin to kill. The moment she sees movement in the thicket, she fires a ray from her palm which looks like a focused beam of black lightning. It blows apart a few dry branches of the thicket near the goblin.

Move to (G,17), eldritch bolt to visible goblin. (not sure which I can see, but one of the J row by Kalim would be my preference)

eldritch bolt: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 ranged touch attack
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Rd 4:

Karnog by the time you move up in Rd 4, Rammellorn has already killed the goblin in D16 (it's not C16), but you can shoot at the one in F9. You hit the goblin but it is still up.

Battle Map

Oh sorry! If you saw the post time, it was past 10 pm in my time zone...

Anyway, here is the
Attack:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Now its time to show em who's boss!"

Karnog drops his crossbow, stepping 5' towards Kalim and draws both hammer and shield, snarling at the gobbos and cursing in dwarven.

Dwarven:

Karnog you are 20 feet from the nearest goblin. Note H15 is a thicket and is difficult terrain (2 hex movement). You can move to I15 and get next to Kalim there.

RD4: Kalim steps back five feet and stabs at the goblin in 10 feet from him with the longspear. attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

RD5: Annoyed with his poor showing, Kalin grunts. Then his eyes roll back into his head and his body seems to move strangely. A strange ray bursts forth from his hand. ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17acid damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Baldwin, are there any gobbo's who don't see/notice Argrim?

Argrim is in F17 with this stealth roll

Argrim would not know what another creature can perceive, or not.

Nibb your Rd 4 attack misses.

Kalim - your Rd 4 attack misses. I did not move your character since there was already 10ft of distance and you did not tell me which square you were stepping into.

Kalim- Your RD 5 attack hits wither of the two goblins.

OK you mentioned it before. I misunderstood.

Round 5

Agrim continues to stealth along the trail from F17 to F15. stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Hopefully, Varl attracts all of the goblins' attention.

He takes a shot at goblin in G11. shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 +1 vs. goblin and bless added. If hit, damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 + sneak: 1d6 ⇒ 5 if he can sneak.

THREAT CONFIRMATION
shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Argrim confirm your crit

Sorry, J15

After Argrim's attack the goblin in G11 slumps down on the ground, his short bow next to him.
