Red Hand of Doom [E6] (Inactive)

Game Master Aldizog

The Glitter dust lasts 5 rounds. I went back and counted 5 total saves now for it I think. So they should be able to see again when they start their next turn.

Lavinia takes a 5 foot step to the north to take a swipe at one of the hobgoblins.

"So be it. To the last."

Iris steps past the body of the hobgoblin she just slaughtered and delivers a coup de grace to the sergeant.

Seeing the halfling woman slay the downed hobgoblin sergeant, Dai attempts to draw the other guards attention to himself while allowing the halfling the opportunity to strike unhindered.

Hey! Over here! That's right try and hit me...not so good without your bows and me in a cage huh!"

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Fighting defensively -4 to hit, +2 on AC

Dai has already acted. Page breaks can be confusing; You rolled a 1 on your to hit, and the round hasn't progressed since then.

Zelligar makes it to the base of the stairs. He can get to the top of the stairs with another double move.

The archers drop their swords, step back to create a little bit of room before shooting at the party.

With Bran lying flat on the rooftop, the archer still on the north-western tower decides to shoot at Lavinia instead.

Crit Confirm vs Iris: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 Damn.

Zelligar climbs the stairs to the top of the tower.

Oops..sorry..well I guess just use that one for this turn, if that is ok?

Conditions

Can you crit on a Grapple check?

No. Yes. You autosucceed on maneuvers when you roll a 20. You don't however get to roll to confirm for more damage.

Iris drinks another potion, then moves in for the attack.

When she notices one of the escaped prisoners trying to taunt the hobgoblins into attacking him, she shouts at them, "Kill me if you can, you sons of motherless goats. I am the traitor who got all of your comrades killed."

I appreciate the effort, but try to live through this, Dai.

Lavinia will move up next to Dai and us her healing hex upon him, wanting to make sure that her fellow escaped prisoner stays up to fight.

stupid dice

Unable to back up further, two of the hobgoblins snarl and go for their backup daggers to stab at Iris.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18, 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Meanwhile, Zelligar presents a new target for the archer on the northeastern tower, while the last hobgoblin tries to escape Bran's grasp.

Crit confirm vs Iris: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

"You there, escaped prisoner! Help me send this hobgoblin to his grave!" Iris waits for Dai (or Lavinia) to move into position before using the distraction to gut their opponent.

Dai, please 5-foot step into flanking position.

Zelligar uses his staff to hopefully finish off Bran's opponent - who had the temerity to break the wrestler's grip - then drops prone next to Tal'ariel.
Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

The hobgoblin had actually managed to get Bran into a headlock, as much to his own surprise as anything, but collapses unconscious to Zelligar's magic missiles.

"I know you had him Bran! Just speeding things along!"

Dai moves into position with the halfling to flank the hobgoblin and tries to strike the beast.

Frack! The dice reset while waiting for Dai. That had been a critical.

"No time for displays of prowess anyway, people are dying!"
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
He tries to kip up but he has to shove the hobgoblin off, and instead gets up normally; the adrenaline taking its toll on his system. When Bran spots the final archer taking potshots at the people below he immediately sets his sights on him.

Move to stand up, standard to move toward the final archer

Savage Grapple: 1d6 + 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + (1, 6) + 7 = 20

Iris strikes once more at the hobgoblin who stands between her and Dai, hitting him in such a way that he becomes disoriented.

Aww... Sorry.

Haha, don't worry about it. Feel free to blast the hobgoblins from range.

If Iris and Dai are able to fell their opponent, please have her tumble to the other side of the hobgoblin to her right. +4 AC vs AoO thanks to Mobility.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 Avoid AoO.

HAve I slumbered the opportunist earlier?

You've slumbered two of the archers, and the leader. I can't quite recall which archers in particular though, so through the infinite wisdom of rolling dice to decide, I've determined that that one has not yet been exposed to the slumber curse, and so is an eligible target.

In that case, I will attempt to slumber him then for my action.

Willpower: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16

Just need an action from Dai.

Well lets see what happens this time..lol

Still trying to distract the hobgoblin, Dai again strikes at the creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Dai finally manages to land a solid blow, striking the hobgoblin's nose with the heel of his hand, driving a shard of bone up into the hobgoblin's brain.

Lavinia puts her target to sleep, leaving only one hobgoblin standing. He growls, sending another arrow at the witch. It might well turn out to be his last.

Arrow vs Lavinia: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25, 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Meanwhile, on top of the tower, an archer tries to wriggle its way out of Bran's grip.

CMB: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

End of the round.

Iris winks at Lavinia, then delivers a coup de grace to the next sleeping hobgoblin. She then steps diagonally toward her final victim.

Zelligar fires another volley into the downed hobgoblin near Tal'ariel, to make sure he won't revive when Zelligar channels.

Bran moves a single monstrous leg behind the hobgoblin and pushes him down to the floor, his lengthy arm pulling the hobgoblins up from the floor.

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Whoops..sorry yesterday got away from me!

Our archer has arrows! Huzzah!

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25, 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I'm pretty sure Zelligar can't see what's going on, but even if he could he's too far away to help.
Channel to heal himself and Tal'ariel.
Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3) = 10

Iris charges toward the last, sole survivor.

"Hurry up and die so I can loot your corpse!"

Lavinia will move to attack the same foe that Iris is with her purloined dagger.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Bran releases the hobgoblin and lets go of his combat stance, his body heaving and starting to slow down. With that he begins to casually come down toward the rest of them, thinking the rest of the combat is cleared.

He takes a look around for any hiding allies or prisoners and calls out, "The dragon is dead." Hoping to ease some of their fear.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Double move, dropping Rage

Conditions

"Zelligar!" Tal'ariel wakes up to see the now familiar halfling. She quickly stands up and picks up her sword, looking around to see quite a few dead hobgoblins. "Did we win?"

"Almost, Tal'ariel. One archer left, with Iris in his face and Bran closing in. Two of the prisoners seem to be helping but they have taken many arrows.
The dragon is dead. Bran's plummet hurt them both, and seemed to break his grip, but he re-established it. I kept him conscious, though it was a near thing.
Iris was apparently inspired by Bran and jumped off a tower in a free-fall of her own. She seems okay."

Dai takes aim and fires at the last foe.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Dai's arrow takes the last hobgoblin in the eye, and he falls dead on the ground.

No reason to drag this on.

You're left standing in relative silence, the battle over.
