Rise of the Runelords

Game Master jimibones83

Eleazar strikes a mighty blow, piercing the menace in his chest and clean out the other side! The goblin coughs blood and falls to the ground.

Man, talk about opportunity lol. If that don't impress her nothing will!

Goblin Ambush!

Kus-Kus blinked as the festivities were suddenly interrupted by an ambush of goblins! How is blazes did these little gits make it into town?! Pfft, and of course Baldy's nowhere to be seen. Typical. I should make myself scarce...

Taking advantage of the confusion from the sudden attack, Kus-Kus took an opportunity to sneak away from the plaza and find himself a decent hiding spot to hunker down. He wasn't afraid of goblins by a long shot, but he'd had enough face-offs for one day. The less trouble he could get into the better...

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 - 2 = 12
Moving 25 ft. to a safe hiding spot about 4 right and 2 up, and taking a stealth check to hide myself from detection, preferably from goblins.

Updated Map

Sheena draws her glaive and prepares to cast.

Goblins attack the crowd, but 2 step to Eleazar, swinging their dog slicer's wildly.

Goblin 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Goblin 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Another charges Zeehna,

Goblin 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

while yet another takes the stage, singing

"Goblins chew and Goblins bite.
Goblins cut and Goblins fight.
Stab the dog and cut the horse,
Goblins eat and take by force!

Goblins race and Goblins jump.
Goblins slash and Goblins bumb.
Burn the skin and mash the head,
Goblins here and you be dead!

Chase the baby, catch the pup.
Bonk the head to shut it up.
Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed,
We be Goblins! You be food!"

Goblin Ambush!

Sheena draws her glaive and prepares to cast.

Please stay in initiative. Ive explained this in detail in the discussion tab. It is now your turn, but at the time of your post it was not, meaning you could speak but not pull your weapon.

Narvolo smirks at the sight of little green things coming out with small knives. "Da doom bringa smash you puny green thing."

Moving forward 10' as if he could care less, he engages the first goblin and swings DOOM BRINGER at the goblin.

Earth Breaker basic swing: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage if hit: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17

Watching the green goblin exploding in front of him and spewing blood all over the woman next to him he says, "You look good in red. Come see me after da battle."

MAP

Lets refrain from declaring the results of your actions guys.

@Narvolo Indeed it does splatter him everywhere though;)

Goblin Ambush!

The sudden outbreak of goblins shocks Nic to action. The sensible part of him thinks to empower his own defenses, but seeing that townsfolk are also threatened he instead moves to act. This will not end well if I survive but do nothing to help the people that would aid my quest for information, yeh. May the gods slighted here today protect me.

As he moves, he pulls a handful of Quicksilver from a bandolier pocket 3 doses and begins to incant the words to his charm. Aiming for an area least risky to the people, he lets fly a handful of sand, rose petals and quicksilver.

Nic moves up 3 squares diagonally to the right, then 2 squares upwards towards Zheena. He calls upon his magic, casting Sleep to target the wagon in the upper right, at the leftmost "handle" corner. The ten foot burst should take the two goblins without affecting the villager. Will DC14 or sleep for 2 rounds

Updated Map

Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13
Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

The two goblins both become overly exhausted and fall asleep in place, plummeting to the ground for a well due slumber.

With a clear shot to the lead goblin singer on the dais (the warchanter) and no one to harm behind it, Blue smiles, licks the sugar from his fingers, draws his bow, nocks an arrow and lets it loose.
ranged in daylight: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 to hit
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7 if he hits

The arrow whistles by the goblin but misses its target.

Goblin Ambush!

Blue looks at the syrup still on his fingers and frowns. He takes turns wiping his hands off on his tunic.
Note that he isn't wearing his armor during the festival, so his AC is 2 lower
Shoot: Of course I forgot Point Blank Shot. No worries, I'll remember it next time if it applies.

its ok, it was a miss either way, and its all the syrups fault;) lol

Vaenia beautiful song just ended, when goblins rushes onto the place and start to wreak havoc..
Worse, another Goblin started a rude and crude song of his own.
Now, all the attention of the crowd was focused on the silly Goblins, instead of being, as rightly deserved, focused on the ravishing half elf.
Such outrage wasn't to be caught lightly.

It is MY scene! How do you dare, you foul smelling beast!Soon you'll be feeling the sting of Calistria's anger!

Vaenia takes her mace and shield in hand, and walks toward the singing goblin

Move 2 square east toward the Warchanter

Edited map

Moved to 1 tile east of blu.

"Huh, goblins, seriously?"
Natalia wasn't in the mood for the festival being spoiled and moved a bit closer.

Jolt the kobold west of blu: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Zap: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Map update

@Vanea You used the wrong map. Please use the most recently posted version. In this case it was in my post 3 above yours. Please take your turn over again with this map.

@Natalia I know you were just going off the map Vanea posted, but she used the wrong one. Please take your turn over again using this map.

This map is the same as Natalias below

Then the same action minus the move, except the jolt is aimed at the goblin above Zheena. So it'll be the same map as yours after that.

Map

@Natalia A spark flickers from your finger, reaching out to grab the goblin. He jumps a bit as he's shocked, but otherwise continues his course of action.

so i'll move 1 case NW and one case N, to place myself just below the stairs from the wooden scene, and will draw my weapon

new map

Eleazar stabs at the goblin with his rapier and follows with a quick slash with his dagger
Rapier Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21Dagger Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6Dagger Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Confirm Critical: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Are you hurt, my lady?"

Map

Kus-Kus waits, listening as the sounds of battle seem to be moving past his hiding spot. Good. Now might be the time to skee-daddle out of this uprising.

Rounding the corner, the kobold starts to move up and past the wagon, but notices a villager just standing there, frightened by... s..sleeping goblins? Kus-Kus knew they had the attention span of a bowl of bean soup, but... wow. Still, they probably wouldn't stay asleep... and everybody else was somewhere else. Eh, so what?

But... if I beat these little guys off, and make a show of it... maybe, for once, the town might starting showing me a little respect and attention! No, no, that's stupid... they would never...

He had a viable escape route, and nothing standing in his way. Jumping into this fray, outnumbered, for people who he not only didn't particularly like, but hated him in return, was a dumb idea. Starting up past the wagon, he stopped again, looking back. His escape. The villager. Escape. Hero.

"...grrrrRRRRRRRRR! Bleeding hearts of the gods unite!" he snarled, turning back and moving for the goblins. "Hey, genius! Move it if you value your ankles!" he ordered the villager, before grabbing one of the spears off his back and chucking it in one swift motion at the closest target.

Moving 20 ft. going 3 squares up and 2 left. Quick Drawing a shortspear and lobbing it at the bottom goblin.
Shortspear attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Kus-Kus to the rescue!

Eleazar makes easy work of yet another Goblin. The woman displays a look of shock and excitement. [b]"Oh Mr. Beauregard, I do declare!"

Kus-Kus's brave decision turns out unfruitful, if only for the moment.

The goblin targeted by Kus-Kus's spear steps to him to attack.
Dog Slicer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

One goblin to Nic,
Dog Slicer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

And another charges Natalia as Zeehna flees.
Dog Slicer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The remaining goblins continue attacking townsfolk as they flee.

Goblin Ambush!

Narvalo moves 25' (1 NE, 1 N, 3E) to another little green thing, ready to crush another skull. He swings DOOM BRINGER in an upward swing.

Earth Breaker Normal Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage if hit: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13

UPDATED MAP

"The song is remarkably creative for a goblin." Blue thinks but "I cannot bear to hear that chant for another moment! he cries. He nocks another arrow and lets it fly at the singer on the podium.
longbow in daylight with PBR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
After firing, Blue moves 15 feet (3 squares) due north to give himself a clearer view of the other pests.
map

Nic barely steps back from the goblin's swing, cursing himself for not acting in his own defense first. "How can I help others if I have fallen victim to these creatures first, neh."

Stepping back diagonally 5', Nic grabs a pinch of brimstone 2 doses from his bandolier as he calls for the fires of his own passions, mixing with his magical energies to cast a fan of fierce red flames outwards in an arc striking towards the two goblins nearest him. Burning Hands 15' cone Reflex DC15 for half damage 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 The reagent combined with his Intense spells adds +2 damage to the goblin that swung at him, +1 damage to the other.

It is only after he releases the energy does Nic realize he nearly caught an unsuspecting woman in the conflagration. My apologies my lady, I fear the danger overwhelm my senses.

Updated map

It appears Blue's map link was based upon the GM's map, and not my map. As a result, Nic doesn't have my move on his map, which is sad because he's going to burn me with his spell. The GM is going to have to decide if I'm burned by the spell. I'll make a reflex save just in case.

Reflex save DC 15 on Burning Hands spell: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10 OUCH!

COMBINED MAPS

"Why you little rat...and i'm insulting rats saying so.."
No time to stand about here, i'm not the toughest of girls when it comes to physique.

Withdraw action, doublespeed movement, no AoO at leaving my original threatened square.
Move 2 left, 7 down, 1 right, ending behind the wagon out of sight. (Hopefully)

Map

Actually with a 15' cone started from the same corner as I intended, I could have instead of the 5' step moved back 10' take the AoO which hopefully misses, and cast the spell without catching Narvolo in the blast. Up to the GM here.

COMBINED MAPS

Actually lol, you forgot to move your piece. Heres the correct map :)

@Nicolae you couldnt target all three so here is what I went with. From where your standing, targeting the square to your right would have looked like this, so I applied the one that didnt hit an ally and hit the one that already hit you.

In that case Narvolo is outside the 15' cone, which starts at the bottom right corner of my square, running up three and right three squares. Nic though has to apologize to both Narvolo and Natalia.

My apologies. I blame my wife for distracting me. :P

Narvolo takes a big swing that fails to connect while Blue's arrow finds it's mark. Nic sidesteps as he conjures fire from his hands, Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 scorching his attacker while Natalia takes cover behind a wagon Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8.

Goblin Ambush!<----- BTW, to clarify, I update this every time I post it. This is just the label of the map

I'd actually get a +1 bonus on that for Dex.

whoops, my bad. Fixed

Lol, a lesser stealth result, that's a 1st

Lol, a lesser stealth result, that's a 1st

Yeah that was a 9 wasn't it? That's what I thought too. I don't understand the criteria that causes the dice to stay the same or re roll. I can often edit a post without them re rolling but something I'm doing causes them to re roll from time to time. That's what happened with yesterdays initiative as well but I figured my head was playing tricks on me. We will count you stealth as a 10.

Eleazar sheathes his dagger keeping his rapier out, and hands the lady a handkerchief to wipe off the blood. "This is no place for a lady, lets get you back to safety. Perhaps the Rusty Dragon ?" Eleazar escorts her South East.
Eleazar moves 4 right, 1 diagonal right and down, 1 square down

Eleazar asks the gentleman " Are you all right sir?"

Thats the wrong map. Please use the most recently posted map, thanx

I think i copied the wrong url into link.

The woman can only muster a single word. "Yes." She says, still in a bit of a state of shock.

The man, already hobbling to safety, is more than happy for you escort him.

"Oh you little--!" Kus-Kus starts to swear, before the goblin retaliates by swinging it's crude weapon straight for his head. Kus-Kus bends backwards as the blade flies right over him: if he had hair, he was certain it would be partly shaved right now.

Using his tail to prop himself back up straight, Kus-Kus immediately snaps his hand to his little blade, drawing it and swinging at the goblin on his way up in one graceful motion. "Like this, you little bugger!"

Longsword Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Updated Map!

Swear to god... this had better not be a recurring thing.

Oh yeah, I thought Kus-Kuss took damage but I forgot his AC is 20. My bad.

Kus-Kus misses and the goblin swings back while another runs around the wagon to do the same.
Dog Slicer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Dog Slicer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Nicolae Leaves one goblin a scorched corpse while another charges straight at him,

While the singing goblin looks around him and sees the goblin numbers dropping and decides to jump down to help, attacking Narvolo.
This goblin hit for 6 damage

Goblin Ambush! <----- To clarify again, I update this every time I post it

Natalia comes out from behind the cart, moving to end up behind the blushing blond.

MOve as per above
Standard: total defense. +4 AC till next turn (AC 15)

Map

Nic's panic level rises as the goblins close on him once more. While he is impressed with the size and strength of the man fighting at his side, these goblins seem tougher than any he encountered on the roads along the coast. But could I live with myself if I ran and let another fight my battle, yeh.

Nic takes a 5' step, casting defensively as he thumbs the family crest on his ring. He summons up the energies of his studies, feeling tired as he brings forth another fiery fan of flame. Arcane Bond to cast another Burning Hands Concentration check 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 vs DC17 15' cone Reflex DC15 for half damage 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 The closest goblin takes an additional point of damage from the Intense Spells Bonus The cone should stretch up three squares and out three squares to the right.

Updated Map

Man, below average on that roll, this may be the end. I added flames to show the area covered. They are instantaneous and should not limit anyone. Please remove for next post.

@Nic Whoops, I made a mistake. It did kill one. Take your turn over using this map or one following it.

thinking that goblin is getting to close and wanting to give the wizard some breathing Room. Eleazar draws one his daggers and throws at the goblin next to Nic.
Dagger attack thrown: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Dagger Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Confirm Critical: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Remembering that puny comment earlier
"You got a mean swing there Narvolo I will give you that. But sometimes precision works better than strength."

Eleazar moves down 5 feet

To Natalia "You look injured, You should come with us. We are heading towards the Rusty Dragon."

Map
Can I keep her from now for the rest of the adventure

@Eleazar Your dagger sinks deep into the goblin. He looks at you for a moment and falls to the ground.

Goblin Ambush!

Blue shakes his head at the persistence of these green-skins. In goblin, he shouts out,

Too late, Blue recalls that Goblins can't actually count to ten and thus his threat is rather hollow.
