Beachhead spends time during the descent trying to think of a pun that merges "hobgoblin" and "kabob." He doesn't think of any that suit him, however, which leaves him frustrated. He takes out that frustration on the hobgabobs.
Ziphora attacks the same target as Beachhead, since hydra heads ought to stick together.
GRAWWAAAAARR!!!!
Grash roars at the hobgoblins, then beats out a very erratic drum sequence loaded with confusion magic.
Grash then votes to gain altitude again, then BODY SLAM!
Mazzoss uses major healing on Ziphora.
Mazzoss will cast flaming sphere when we reach the ground towards the nearest group of hobgoblins.
reflex save DC 15 negates.
A number of hobgoblins turn on each other and start fighting with one another as Grash's spell washes over them, then you plow into the mass of warriors. Your dumb heads joyously start snapping and biting everything around you.
Beachhead, Ziphora, and Mazzoss's flaming sphere each kill some of the foes. You now have the attention of everyone in the canyon. The hobgoblins all around you attack with blades, javelins, and bows.
Your archers, meanwhile, are taking advantage of the distraction you're providing to pick off hobgoblins without return fire.
"Thanks."Ziphora thanks Mazzoss.
Ziphora is not quite quick enough to avoid the wave of javelins.
She then stabs the troop of hobgoblins with a watery horn.
Beachhead auto-saves because his Reflex saving throw is so high, smirks about it, and then slashes his teeth across as many hobgoblins as possible.
Grash dodges some of the javelins and arrows while frantically drumming. Then Grash takes a deep breath, aims for as many hobgoblins as he possibly can, and lets out an incredible
Several nearby hobgoblins are literally blown off their feet by Grash's roar. They don't get back up afterward. Ziphora and Beachhead kill several more.
Mazzoss continues rolling his flaming sphere around while summoning another.
The hobgoblins manage to avoid both, though.
Your extra heads keep snapping about.
The confused hobgoblins stand around and babble.
You've cleared out all the enemies nearby you, and for some reason the others seem to be trying to keep back. Your body instinctually starts lumbering towards another group of hobgoblins, keeping you in reach of more foes.
You're now definitely the center of attention, proven when every hobgoblin that can throws or shoots things at you.
"We've sufficiently cowed them, and probably weakened them enough for Sir Tolgrith's troops to handle. Let's go get some healing and then go find bigger game."
Mazzoss looks at the fellow heads and sees which is the most damaged.
"Yeah, I agree with the healing bit."Ziphora concurs.
Spears and arrows rattle against Grash's scales and armor, doing some damage but not too much.
"RAAHH! We should press 'em a bit more! Show these hobgoblins we mean business! RAMPAGEEE!!!! GRAAAOOAAARR!!"
Grash votes to trample/body slam some hobgoblins. He also tries slam any nearby with his drum.
Stay and attack - Grash
Strategically run away - Beachhead, Ziphora,
Just wants to help - Mazzoss
Mazzoss looks at the fellow heads and sees which is the most damaged.
HP Update!
Beachhead - 38/63
Grash - 36(56)/85
Mazzoss - 83/83
Zip - 38/93
Ziphora stabs the fleeing hobgoblins with a water spout.
Mazzoss uses major healing on Ziphora.
Mazzoss will then use major healing on Beachhead with next available action.
When he's no longer about to take a violence nap, Beachhead changes his mind and wants to continue fighting for Hydratopia.
As Mazzoss heals you, you charge back into the fray. Seeing what wounds they've inflicted being undone seems to be the final straw for the hobgoblins, and they start to break and flee.
Once you've thoroughly put them to flight, you zoom back to the back lines and get healed up. You don't have many powerful healers on your side, but since they haven't had to do much yet they can heal you up.
As soon as they're done, you hear shouts of alarm from the other side of Mazzoss's wall.
"Let's just stay here and ignore that!" Beachhead suggests, knowing full well that nobody, not even himself, is going to vote to do anything except checking out the shouts of alarm from the other side of Mazzos' wall.
Ziphora perks her ears and tries to determine what they're shouting about on the other side of the wall.
Mazzoss votes to get closer to the wall and see what is happening.
Grash votes to fly over the wall and body slam whatever is happening.
Ziphora thinks she hears "Minotaurs!" in one of the loudest shouts.
"I think they're minotaurs. Wanna go look?" Ziphora asks her brother heads.
Beachhead hides.
"Let's go!"
"You're not very sneaky when you shout like that," Ziphora quips at Beachhead.
You zoom back over the wall and see a half-dozen armored minotaurs charging through the pass towards the swampy area.
Mazzoss casts fireball at the center of the group of minotaurs through Tortuga.
Reflex save of 16 for half damage.
"You're not very sneaky when you shout like that," Ziphora quips at Beachhead.
"...
"lets go."
Half of the minotaurs avoid the worst of the fireball. They get out great bows and return fire.
One of your dumb heads get a big arrow through it, but the rest fail to penetrate.
Ziphora returns gathers electrical energy from the air and returns fire, a nice flashy bolt of lightning, out of the clear blue sky.
*1.5
Grash beats upon his drums, starting a frenzied song, and then hurls one of the drums at the closest minotaur
"GRAAAAPPHHHMRMRRRR!!"
Grash votes to BODY SLAM! one of the minotaurs.
With that hit Mazzoss slumps forward and the life drains from her eyes. Tortuga slowly falls from her mouth and plummets to the ground to be crushed under foot.
"Nooooo Mazzoss!" Ziphora screams out in grief as Mazzoss falls. 'Now the only thing left is to make them pay' she thinks, her thoughts firmly on nasty, bloody revenge.
You dive at the minotaurs, who have only enough time to switch to their axes and scatter before you plow into them.
In spite of their efforts your body actually veers towards one and crashes into it, knocking it to the ground and then standing on it.
You can hear bones breaking beneath your bulk.
The remaining minotaurs attack with their axes.
But their attack are rather ineffectual.
"You killed Mazzoss!" Ziphora snarls angrily. "Prepare to die!" She then manifests a water horn and stabs them with it.
