Xakroo looks at Kwiazy and Morgryn and sighs, Thanks for the element of surprise you two... and fires his bow.
Morgryn and Xakroo take down the closer hobbogobbo before he even knows what is happening. The other hobbogobbo's weapon is stuck in a statue.
The remaining hobbogobbo frees his weapon.
The entire party may act.
Xakroo pulls yet another arrow and fires it at the hobbogobbo.
Kwiazy approaches the remaining hobbogobbo and slices at him...
Jynnjun cracks open the door and seeing the hobbogobbo unlikely to charge her considering his dire straits, she spits out the words for a ray of frost in his direction before ducking out of sight.
Jarvak steps in and fires at the hobgoblin.
Morgryn, if needs be, if his companions haven't already done the remaining hobgoblin in, will swing his hammer around in a wide smashing arc at the hobgoblin, staying out of the creature's reach. But he tries to be careful of incoming arrows, so swings too wide. "Damnation!"
Charzark moves close enough to the hobgoblin and throws his club aiming for his head but it barely misses both the hobgoblin and Kwiazy's head. Damnation! You die already hobbogobbo!
Yewleaf sprints to the other Hobgoblin and attempts to flank him.
The hobbogobbo snarls as he is surrounded by small enemies hacking, poking, and shooting at him. He is clearly badly hurt. He swings his battleaxe at Kwiazy.
His axe passes safely over the goblin's head, however.
Entire party is up!
Kwiazy leaps into the hobbogobbo's space and gets under his feet...
Underfoot Assault (Ex): At 1st level, if a foe whose size is larger than the mouser’s is adjacent to her and misses her with a melee attack, the mouser can as an immediate action spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet into an area of the attacker’s space. This movement does not count against the mouser’s movement the next round, and it doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. While the mouser is within a foe’s space, she is considered to occupy her square within that foe’s space.
While the mouser is within her foe’s space, the foe takes a –4 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks not made against the mouser, and all of the mouser’s allies that are adjacent to both the foe and the mouser are considered to be flanking the foe. The mouser is considered to be flanking the foe whose space she is within if she is adjacent to an ally who is also adjacent to the foe. The mouser can move within her foe’s space and leave the foe’s space unhindered and without provoking attacks of opportunity, but if the foe attempts to move to a position where the mouser is no longer in its space, the movement provokes an attack of opportunity from the mouser. This deed replaces opportune parry and riposte.
Kwiazy then attacks from flank.
Hey Hob. You shed blood in the wrong place. Should have stayed home, chopping wood, butting heads or whatevever hobbos do.. Jarvak says.
He casts daze on the Hobgoblin, as he hums a soothing tune that leaves the hobgoblin slightly sleepy.
(Not sure what his bonus is)
Morgryn pulls the hammer back from his first swing and brings it back around while Kwaizy distracts and attacks right up under the hobgoblin and Yewleaf also jumps in to the fray! Morgryn swings overhead this time to hit the hobgoblin, but his swing goes wide again, having to be careful not to his Kwaizy so close, and he lets out a snarl of frustration.
Yewleaf cheers as Kwiazy ducks underneath the Hobgoblins legs and attempts to gut him while he is distracted.
Jynnjun steps back in to add her own minor contribution of chilly magic.
The hobbogobbo goes down betweek Kwiazy's sword and Jynnjun's magic ray.
You now have the time to look around the building more carefully.
Wooden statues of both Erastil and Desna—both now
chopped and marred by hobgoblin weapons—stand in
their own alcoves in the northwest end of the shrine,
while alcoves on either side serve as general shrines to
the variety of other gods and spirits worshiped by the
locals. A dozen human bodies lie scattered across the
floor and pews, and have been left to rot as invaders go
about tearing apart the building.
gear you find on the hobbogobbos:
potion of cure light wounds (2), alchemist’s fire
(2), padded armor, composite longbow (+2 Str)
with 20 arrows, handaxe, mwk battleaxe, backpack, bedroll,
blanket, mess kit, small tent, Provision Points (3), 3 gp
A sack of loot sits in the middle of the temple
and contains an elm wand of magic missile (12 charges),
a silver cup, a hand-sized darkwood carving of a
butterfly, three bottles of Oldlaw whiskey, 100 gp worth of gold dust, 27 small semiprecious stones, and 76 gp.
The shrine is clearly too damaged to be used in any way.
Kwaizy puts one of the bottles of whiskey inside his,shirt.. "medsin" he says with a toothy grin.
Charzark grabs the alchemist fire flasks and puts them in his bandolier
Morgryn spits on the hobgoblin and shakes his head at the damage done to the shrine. He utters a quick and quiet prayer, to not only Torag but also to the deities wronged there.
He then grabs a bottle of the whiskey (or all three if no one else wants them) and grins at Kwaizy, retorting "Medsin."
He then helps everyone pack up what has been found.
Xakroo growls at the hobgoblin corpses, completely enraged that they had killed all of these innocent people in the church. he'll carry the composite longbow (despite knowing he may not be able to use it now), and one of the potions of cure light wounds (or all if no one else wants them) before addressing Alright, time to look in the shack.
Jarvak helps take some of the items. If Jynnjun doesn't want it, he'll take the wand of magic missiles.
Nasty work been done here... Jarvak says. He approaches the shack, perking up his ears.
(additional +2 for noise)
As you approach the shack, a young woman comes charging towards you, swinging a sword that she clearly doesn't know how to use. When she sees who you are, she lowers her weapon and sighs in relief. "I thought you were another group of hobgoblins and had found us. I couldn't do much, but I had to try to save these people."
She is followed out by several timid looking villagers. They see Aubrin and the rest of your following. They go back into the shack, pick up all the supplies they can find, and also follow you.
Morgryn feels the gratitude of one of the deities of the shrine. You all are being watched over for the next hour.
"These people use a lot of wands," remarks Jynjunn, "it must be a tradition out this way. I wonder if any of the ones we collected can make use of these wands?" She studies this latest to determine its properties and command word.
Morgryn hefted his hammer defensively when the woman came charging at them, but then quickly lowered it seeing that she wasn't a hobgoblin and that she stopped herself. He gave a nod to her.
"We're tryin' t'get s'many villagers an' supplies s'we can outta here an' safe from the hobgobs."
He then sets to organizing the villagers again and explaining the buddy system to the newcomers, as well as their 'standard operating procedure' thus far.
Yeah, those nasty hobgobbos. We need to visit Oreld's and then we'll be off. We be lucky so far, but not sure if our luck will hold, Jarvak says.
He does a quick search around the shrine, gives a quick prayer and then is ready to head to Oreld's, afraid of what he'll see there.
You move on to the trading company. There are three hobgoblins in the yard, and the building is on fire. the red diamond on the map shows the area where the roof has caught fire. The doors are all tightly shut, perhaps barricaded by people taking refuge. There is no sign they are aware of the fire.
Charzak, Jarvik, Xakroo, Yewleaf, and Morgryn may all act.
We need to take them down quickly! Jarvak says. He draws his bow and shoots at the closest hobgoblin.
Charzark moves closer to the hobgoblin and throws one of his bombs at the one separated from the rest.
Burn you hobgoblastard!
Xakroo fires his bow at the nearest hobgoblin. Die you bastards!
Morgryn grips his weapon's haft when he sees the hobgoblins, but he pauses a moment to let his allies loose their ranged attacks. Then he charges in to one of the hobgoblins, leveling the spiked point of his Lucerne Hammer in front of him like a spear. He lets out a muted roar as he strikes.
Set for AoOs with Combat Reflexes if the other two move within my extended reach.
Charzak and Jarvak take down the first hobbogobbo, and Xakroo gets a solid shot on the second. Morgryn charges the second hobbogobbo, also injuring it.
Yewleaf also charges the hobbogobbo.
However, his weapon passes beside the hobgoblin.
The lower hobgoblin swings his sword at Morgryn.
But his sword passes over the dark dwarf's head.
The other shoots an arrow at Kwiazy.
His arrow hits Kwiazy hard, doing 10 points of damage.
Entire party is now up.
Morgryn takes a step back and swings his polearm at the hobgoblin. He puts a lot of force behind the swing, possibly more than was needed, which does affect his accuracy some.
Yewleaf slices at the Hobgoblin closest to him, he puts all his strength in the blow hoping to cut deep.
Morgryn's swipe goes between the hobbogobbo's body and arm. Yewleaf's slice brings down the hobbogobbo.
Jarvak eyes the least wounded hobgoblin and says to it "Hey! Look behind you! And above! And to your left!"
Too bad the hobgoblin isn't falling for the bard's tricks...
Jynnjunn decides to field-test the wand of magic missiles which she did successfully identify on the last hobbogobbo.
"Ehh... needs more oomph."
Now waiting for Kwiazy, Xakroo, and Charzark. There is one hobbogobbo left, and he is slightly injured.
Kwiazy charges up to the hobbogobbo and attacks him
To his companions, he tosses back a comment in common, "Arrow hurtz us it does... fix me pleeze?"
Xakroo hands him one of the potions of cure light wounds. "Here, drink this.
Charzark?
Charzark sees his mates in melee with the hobgoblin Me has to find a way to use booooooms when they near, burning friends is no good so grabs his club and throws it straight at the hobgoblin's head.
Kwiazy's blade slashes at the last hobbogobbo. Charzark's club hits him, hard, and he turns and runs away.
[ooc]Kwiazy, Yewleaf, and Morgryn get attacks of opportunity when he's on his way past. Kwiazy and Yewleaf are flanking for their AoOs.
