Round 9, Init 10 {AL41 > AK42}

I believe this is the last round of Shield, if the last one wasn't. I cast just before entering the room and shooting the poor defenseless orphan. Caster Level 1.

Dr. Toffitt steps into a flanking position against the idiotic hobgoblin who dared to harm his friend Atol, and lunges with his rapier.

Rapier + 10 (+1 bab + 5 dex + 1 mstrwk + 1 bless + 2 flank)
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (2) = 4

If the hob falls, Dr. Toffitt picks up the CLW wand.

Round 9, Initiative 14, Location AL 43

"Jenya is that you? It's OK. It's just a flesh wound. I just need to get my wand and I'll be fine. I can't cast just now, and for some reason I just can't seem to reach the wand."

Atol writhes a little in his blood.

Round 9, Init 11

Looks like I missed a hit for 7 damage...

Glimmil continues the strategic retreat, waiting for Finneas to step away and taking his position while fending off additional hobgoblin attempts to pursue.

Defer to Finn then 5ft step to his such that only 1 hobgob continues to attack him versus the prospective five...

Attack (hammer, power, bless): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage (hammer, power): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Probably worth mentioning... Status: 2HP/23HP

Round 9
Atol = 14 - unconscious
Silfir = 12 - miss
Toffitt = 10 - Hits HOB13 for 4
Dyrant - 9+ - Wards Finn
Finneas = 9 - 5' step and kills Hob 2
Glimmil = 8 - Delays for Finneas, 5' step and miss

Round 10

Fellian steps behind Glimmil and lays a hand on him. "Be strong and keep them out of here." (Heal for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7)

Fario stabs at HOB13, but misses. The Hobgoblin steps behind Silfir and stabs at him. The other hobgoblins shift in and out trying to stab Silfir or Glimmil, but have no luck.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 - Fario at HOB13
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11 - Hob10 5' step up to Hob 19's spot and at Silfir
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 - Hob13 5' step and then at Silfir
1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 16 - Hob14 at Glimmil around corner
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 - Hob15 steps up and at Glimmil
1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 4 = 17 - Hob18 at Silfir around corner
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17 - Hob19 at Silfir and then 5' step

Party is up.

Lost my damage count in the editing. HOB 13 (6+4=10 dmg). HOB18 (8 dmg).

Round 10, Init 10

Dr. Toffitt has one of those moments in battle where everything goes quiet around you, and an eternity passes as the reality of death surrounds you. Then he flashes back into time passing, steps forward and lunges at the retreating (from him) hobgoblin, keeping it between him and the other wandering half-elf.

Rapier + 10
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (5) = 10

"Listen to me, gobs. I've got your fellow's wanker on a spit now. See it? Surrender and we'll let you keep yours in one piece.

Intimidate + 1
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

He then picks up the wand and prepares to use it on Atol.

Hob13 is down. No more flanks for the Doctor.

Round 10, Init 10

He then picks up the wand and prepares to use it on Atol.

Post Monster hiding edits again.

Round 10 (round 10?! TEN!?! Really!! Epic!), Init: Whatever

Dyrant will 5' step to AL 44 and as a move action, load his crossbow

As a standard, he will lay his hand upon Atol, healing him.

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 healing

"Atol, I told you before that we're not done yet. We need to save the children...NOW ON YOUR FEET!"

Round 10, Init 8

Status: 9/23HP

Glimmil nods a cheerful thanks to his new elven friend.

This one and I will be good pals, for sure! His elvish healing is so strong, I've never seen restorative magic so strong!

As Glimmil fancies himself being nothing more than a shorter elf, he swings his hammer at one of the gobhoblins trying to get into their room.

Attack (hammer, defensively, bless): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage (hammer): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Will attack defensively now, trusting Finneas to get solid attacks past doorway cover while Glimmil acts the role of speedbump. Now AC25, which should put Glimmil at needing natural 20 from these buggers.

Party up.

Round Infinity, Init Dyrant

"Thank you, Doctor. Atol! Get up! We have work to do!"

Dyrant will take the offered wand from the Doctor and move to AO42 and use it to heal Glim

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Healing on Glim

"There, there, brave Glim! Take heart in that St. Cuthbert has your back. Fight on! When this is over, we shall sing your exploits to beautiful Skie."

Round 11, init 12

Silfr will try to finish the accessible hobgolbin, hob19: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 262d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

Boom!

Crit confirm? 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 92d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 = 13

"This hob-goblin is palpable!"

Round 11, Init 10 {AL42}

Dr. Toffitt hands the wand off to Dyrant, then takes out and drinks his Elixir of the Titans, and gets rather large.

Round 11, Init 8

Status: 18/23HP

With Dyrant's touch, Glimmil's wounds mend greater than they ever have before.

Remarkable! I thought the elf's healing was stronger than Cuthbert's but now this! Or was it his mention of Skie?

Glimmil concentrates, hoping to make the gnome pawn-broker and magic shop proprietor proud of his deeds.

"Eee-AH!"

Time to resume power attacking! A wounded hobgoblin first, otherwise one in front of him will do.

Attack (hammer, power, bless): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage (hammer): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Round 11 Init 9

Finneas scans the battlefield before quaffing his Elixir of Titans.

How quickly it has turned.

Party up. Atol twice.

No narrative sorry. Running out the door.

Round 11, Initiative 14, Location AL 43

"Huh? what? Oh, right!"

Atol struggles to his feet and seeing the Doctor hovering over him with Dyrant, gives the Doctor a Guidance.

"There good Doctor, the blessings of St. Cuthbert be upon you. Thank you both for my recovery."

Round 12, Initiative 14, Location AL 43 ->AL 42

Seeing Silfr get hit, Atol picks up his cudgel (move), steps up to Silfr (5'step) and converts a Remove Fear to a Cure Light Wounds for 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5.

"There you go sir! Keep up the good work!"

Round 12, Init 10

Titanic Toffitt strikes out at whichever hobgoblin looks hurtest.

Rapier +7 -4 cover +1 guidance
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Or not.

Round 12 Init 9

Finneas lashes out at one of the hobgoblins.

Greatsword -4 for cover
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 43d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 3, 4) + 7 = 20

How silly of me to forget.

Among the numerous sleeping and dying hobgoblins and their body parts, Toffitt and Silfir notice that Kazmojen stirs.

Kazmojen is in AM39.

Round 12

Dyrant will walk to AK42 and use the Wand of Cure Light Wounds on Atol.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Healing

He will then offer the wand back to Atol if he wants it.

"Welcome back, Atol. We have work to do!"

EDIT: P.S. Finn? I think you're still warded, right? AC 16?

Though you switched that to Glimm? I couldn't find the post to double check.

Round 12, Init 10 {AK41:AL42}

I believe Atol tried to occupy a filled square. Perhaps one of the half-elves climbed on a table to give him room?

Dr. Toffitt once again strikes out, this time at Kazmojen in AM49 (reach)

Rapier +7 - 4 cover +4 prone
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 + sneak? 1d6 ⇒ 6

Round 12, Init 10 {AK41:AL42}Dr. Toffitt once again strikes out, this time at Kazmojen in AM49 (reach)

I'll take that as a replacement action to your hobgoblin miss, but you miss this too. He has a thick hide.

Round 12, Init 8

Status: 18/23HP

Not sure where folks are, but if Glimmil sees Kazmojen stirring, he'll try to move to prevent that if there's not too much hobgoblin AoO action to deal with (let's call that 3+ AoOs).

Attack (hammer, power, bless, smite, prone): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Damage (hammer): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

*Otherwise, if the way is blocked, he'll use that attack on the offending hobgoblin, just -3 less to hit and -2 less damage.

Prone +4 = 22. I included in a revision.

Thanks for letting me replace though!

Round 12, Init 8

That will take out HOB18 and open a hole.

@ Toffitt - Your edited 22 showed up and that misses. AC 23.

@ Toffitt - Your edited 22 showed up and that misses. AC 23.

Argh. Am I considered to be adjacent to two enemies right now? If so that would give me +1 to hit, but I realize I'm being a pain in the a** and you're already being so kind as to let me change my action.

Round 12 so far
Round 11 recap
Atol = 14 - CLW to Silfir
Silfir = 12 - Still to go
Toffitt = 10 - misses Kazmojen
Dyrant - 9+ - Wand on Atol
Finneas = 9 - misses
Glimmil = 8 - Kills HOB18

Damage count
HOB14 (0 dmg)

Wand usage count anyone?

@ Toffitt. Nice try. But Silfir could still essentialy end this.

New Map

Wand usage count anyone?

Atol has the running count on his sheet. 42 charges currently available.

Atol has the running count on his sheet. 42 charges currently available.

I need to get one of those wands. It gains charges when used.

It started with 25.

DOH! I thought it had 50. I'll correct it. We've used 8 so far...

Silfr will try to essentially end this fight:

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 202d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4) + 4 = 13

Btw shield is gone after round 11, AC 19 until mage armor goes away.

SIlfr can 5-foot left to start making a path for the big fellows as well. AM40.

Round 13

The half-elves plunk two arrows into the last hobgoblin as Kazmojen stands up and takes moves toward the child. He gets to the child, but suddenly he is not alone. A one-eyed floating head with numerous eye stalks floats above the child and addresses Kazmojen.

"What have you done? You were told not to harm the children!"

Kazmojen quickly turns quickly and points a long arm at the doctor.

"It was him. Look at the arrow and the wound. I'd never use an arrow."

Several of the eye stalks turn towards the doctor.

The hobgoblin flees up the northern hallway. (withdraws)

1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 = 20
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Floating head

Did Silfr miss that last hobgoblin on round 12, AC 20?

Probably trumped for story purposes but Toffitt and I should get AoOs when he stands right?

Did Silfr miss that last hobgoblin on round 12, AC 20?

Thought you were going for Kazmojen, but now I see. You hit and drop him. No hobgoblins get away.

Probably trumped for story purposes but Toffitt and I should get AoOs when he stands right?

Nope due to corners. Feel free to use it against me later when I have large and larger creatures. But, yes, they would've been trumped anyway.

In case it was unclear. Party is up in Round 13.
Atol = 14 -
Silfir = 12 -
Toffitt = 10 -
Dyrant - 9+ -
Finneas = 9 -
Glimmil = 8 -

Dr. Toffitt does take his attack of opportunity on the Kazmojen as he attempts to rise.

Rapier + 7 - 4 + 4 Does prone bonus still apply as he's standing up?
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

He blanches a bit as the floating head turns to him. He does not, however, stammer. As usual, though, he is long-winded. "Please accept my apologies for bruising the child. Kazmojen was using the child as hostage, and I was attempting to divert his attention from the child when I fired my bow. I had no intention to wound the child, and I think you'll find that his bruises are superficial. I hope a fair exchange for saving his life, given the dwarf's treachery."

Diplomacy + 6
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Round 13 Init 9

"Besides, does he look like he has a bow?"

Male voice: Uh...
Female voice: He just said he shot the child
Maybe that thing didn't hear him?

MegaFinn stays behind the cover of the wall but prepares to give chase to Kazmojen as soon as it's clear (if ever) the floating ball of hurt won't blast him for doing so.

Edit: Delay.

Please include diplomacy rolls if you are going to add to conversation. If you are passing your turn/delaying. Please advise. Thanks.
