Game Master Signore di Fortuna

Telsyn moves to E7 and fires into melee, attempting to finish off the goblin Jerrica injured.

rayo de frio! ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

dmg: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Doing anything Abby? I don't really think you need to unless one of us were hurt. Was anyone damaged?

Telsyn dispatches the wounded goblin, leaving only one.

Round 2: Thangrom, Jerrica, Telsyn, Abigail, Vishanti, Goblin, Derika

She shouldn't need to do anything. You got this.

I'm asking her. Since I don't read minds I consider it the polite thing to do. If she doesn't feel the need to do anything she can speak for herself and say so. I was just giving her the option, though I know he's been really busy and may not be able to respond right away.

He said he'd be scarce. Go ahead and play through. He won't mind. We haven't taken any damage. All I can think is that Abigail might want us to interrogate the last one.

We could do that, but I doubt we'd learn anything useful. Then Abby would be all squeamish and we'd have to let it go, back to the other goblins, who would come after us because they're nothing if not overconfident. LOL!

Well, I hate to sound argumenative.....oh hell that's a damn lie....anyways, Vishanti and the goblin both get a turn before I do. I ain't in the habit of taking prisoners and I'm not gonna start now so people will just have to get the hell over it.

Abby barely had rubbed the sleep from her eyes and the fight was pretty much over. there was still one left and she knew Derika would rip it apart before she even could voice any alternative. best just let them do their thing.

Abby's watch was going to be coming up soon anyway so she got out her bedroll and started to take stock of everyone's health.

she advances a bit toward the fight to better see the main warrior's conditions.

move to get up, standard to move to F-6

Abigail sees a minor wound on Thangrom's arm.

Stop your internal whining and talk to the damned thing if that's what you want to do. That's if it can even understand common, but you never know. The goblin gets a full turn before I do and you never know, I might miss and prolong it's death long enough for Thangrom to smash it into a sticky paste. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Whst can I say? Derika hardly feels charitable being woken up in the middle of the night to be told she's gonna get eaten.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Vishanti's eyes flicker with starlight as shimmering stardust materializes on the goblin, further affecting it's focus.

The creature takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls and sight-based Perception checks. -2 total penalty

Derika shakes her head and lets it go "I'm not wasting my time on that pathetic creature. If he's foolish enough to come back, even if he brings friends, we'll wipe them out. Ill not be eaten by the likes of them."

-Posted with Wayfinder

She said she'd let you do your thing. She just got up and moved to see who's hurt. No one is.

Round 3: Thangrom, Jerrica, Telsyn, Abigail, Vishanti, Goblin, Derika

-Posted with Wayfinder

Over.

Except for a minor wound on Thangrom. If he wants to go after the goblin and turn it to goo he can. I'm just not gonna go chasing after it.

Henry's post got eaten somehow. He said the goblin withdrew, he'll have to fix it in a minute.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I saw that post about the withdraw...wonder how it disappeared

"Let him run, he may live to be wiser than his brethren." Vishanti says calmly

Missed it. We are hated by all the gods, including the ones that like us, even a little. That explains the dice..#webecursed

For real....maybe it'll get better?

She nods, "I wasn't planning on going after him." She yawns as she stretches, "Well....is it my turn for watch then? Not really sure how long I was asleep for, but if you're tired Vishanti I can take over."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thangrom shoulders his weapon, laughing all the while. "Stupid gits. Always pullin' stuff like this an' wonderin' why people want t' bash their ugly little faces in."

Assuming that the gonlins "attacked" near the end of her watch.

Yawning herself, Vishanti nods. "Thank you Derika, some rest would definitely be welcome. I hope your watch is uneventul." The Shamaness says moving from the spot near the fire where she sat to her waiting bedroll.

She nods at Vishanti, "I hope it is too, rest well." Rubbing her eyes she looks at Thangrom as she goes to put a couple more pieces of wood on the fire and sit next to it, "Yup, waking me up in the middle of the night to tell me that you're gonna steal our food and eat us.....definitely not gonna improve my attitude towards someone. Annoying little pests." After a couple minutes she gets up and picks up the dead goblin bodies and tosses them away from the camp, out into the woods so they don't attract wolves or anything too close to where her companions are resting.

The rest of the night passes without another goblin incursion. In the morning, you pack up and resume your journey to Loweir. Again, the trip is surprisingly peaceful and, in the afternoon, you come across a woodsman's cottage. The door appears to be ajar, but no sounds come from the building.

Looking around she says, "Hhmmm I don't like the looks of this. We should probably investigate and make sure no one is in need of help." She knocks loudly on the door, "Hello? Is anyone in there?" She pushes the door open as she calls out so they can get a better look inside.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Telsyn tries to see inside. percep: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Telsyn spots a trail of blood inside the cottage, leading to one of the backrooms.

Hey, get away, Derika. Something's fishy here. There's a trail of blood, for gods' sake!

She looks worried at Telsyn's revelation about the blood, "Well then we should definitely investigate. Someone could be hurt in there in need of help, who knows what. I'm sorry, I can't stay out here if someone could be inside injured."

Keeping her guard up for anything dangerous, she kicks the door the rest of the way open and goes inside while maintaining a look out for whatever might have caused the damage in case it's still in the cottage.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Eh...Oh lovely, well...it's hard to notice things when your mind is on helping someone who might be injured. It's that protective/stubborn streak in her. What can I say? Sorry? Lol

Following the trail of blood, she makes her way to the back room.

Vishanti studies the blood, trying to determine the possible severity of the wounds that would generate the amount of blood visible.

Heal: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Vishanti determines that whoever suffered such wounds is unlikely to be alive. Derika makes her way to the back room and finds an old man slumped against a bed. He is not breathing and there is a fireplace poker clutched in his hands. Many bloody small footprints cover the floor.

"No one would survive this much blood loss." Vishanti says quietly, and she follows Derika into the back room.

you guys need my help? it appears you guys pretty much have this under control.

Abigail followed along, at the word of a possible injured person, Abby starts to head in to offer her help.

Vishanti has it covered. Instead Abby checks the cottage perimeter.

find anything?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Derika curses under her breath as she looks at the footprints to try and determine what might have made them and where they went.

Perception : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Survival to track footprints : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

We might want to search the rest of the cottage to make sure no one else is around or hiding anywhere.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Abigail finds bloody footprints on the stoop of the backdoor. There is also a doghouse. She finds the carcass of a poor half-eaten dog, still tied to its post.

---

Derika is pretty sure the footprints don't belong to a human. The trail leads out the backdoor.

Derika follows the footprints outside.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jerrica meets up with Abigail and Derika. "Well, I know this is horrible timing, but we haven't eaten lunch yet."

The bloody footprints continue into the nearby woods.

She sighs, "Well.....we still have rations. We could stop for a couple minutes and eat.....I wanted to follow those footprints and see where they go. We can't allow something to live that would attack and kill a helpless old man."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jerrica nods and looks over the footprints.

Kn(Nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Jerrica instantly recognizes them as goblin footprints.

"More goblins," Jerrica says. "They must have a den or something in the area."

Vishanti looks at Jerrica for a few seconds before shaking her head. "Likely the same little monsters that would try to eat sleeping people."

She nods, "I was kind of thinking along those lines since they couldn't possibly be human footprints. After committing such an awful crime, they have to be made to answer for it. We can't allow them to go on unchecked. I say we follow the footprints back to their den and eliminate them once and for all and rid the area of their threat." She looks around at the others as her eyes settle on Abby, "Unless someone has an objection of course? Though I don't see why anyone would object to the eradication of such obviously hideous and evil creatures." She waits to see what the others have to say, though she can pretty much guess what Thangrom and Telsyn would say.

She looks around, "You guys go ahead and settle somewhere to rest and eat for a little bit. I'm gonna see if I can find a shovel or something. I can't just leave him here like this. This man deserves to be put to rest properly. I'll rest and eat after I get him buried." She looks in and around the cabin for a shovel, figuring that the old man would have one since it was apparent he lived alone and probably had a garden of some kind.
