The Morphling's Rise of the Runelords Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master The Morphling

Lacuna has mentioned she'd strongly prefer to handle initiative in order, and act only when your turn comes up. I am still figuring out what is best for PbP, so we will switch to that for now. You can pre-post your actions if you like, but you will need to revise them if you get ninja'd - and do not move your tokens (I'll handle that from now on). Just call out what square you're moving to.

Init: Goblins > Lacuna > Zoruk > Valeria > Corrin > Goldenguard

Lacuna darts through the crowd, and her lash slices across the goblin's torso, knocking the wind from it. As she raises the whip for another blow, arcane words accompany a splash of corrosive acid which splatters across the horrid little beast's face as it gargles and screams before toppling over and falling unconscious. Glancing over her shoulder, she sees Zoruk draw his crossbow and prepare to engage another one of the goblins.

The surging crowd jostles Corrin as he nocks an arrow to his bow, and an errant elbow catches his arm just as he shoots, causing the arrow to fly wide.

The crowd of panicked citizens flees the chaos. This adjusts where difficult terrain may be found.

The goblin who fell before picks himself up off the ground, scoops up his rusty sword and surges forward toward Lacuna with a wicked grin, ready to swing. The one nearest Valeria charges at her, swinging low with its blade, provoking an attack of opportunity from her glaive.
Goblin's Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Goblin's Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Lacuna grinned at the stranger who had assisted her with the goblin. 'So many charmers in this crowd today,' she thought to herself. Her musings were soon interrupted by the realization that she had less prospective company. Seeing the clumsy goblin rush toward her, she quickly stepped back (5 foot step to G15) and lashed out at this one as well.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage Roll: 1d6 ⇒ 1 nonlethal

Lacuna's blow lands true, but the goblin does not fall.

After the first goblin fell he rethought his means. Most of his spells had limited range, in turn the more powerful ones a limited resource. While his crossbow took care of that, he was a mage first and a marksman very far second. While the archery champion had recently shown a shaky hand. He could not blame him if he was uninformed of the little blights and more so if he was. It would be better to empower his aim rather then his own. Moving towards the man he summons his magical energy, focusing on the magic of transformation that he specialized in, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Steady your aim, your the champion after all."

Move Action: Move to H20
Standard Action: Augment on Corrin (+2 Dex for 1 round)
Hopefully with bless on top Corrin can snipe a goblin silly. ;)

Donyou want to handle AoO's, or us? For the record if something provokes one from me I am fine with you rolling it. I'm at work...will post when things chill out, but here is my AoO roll.

AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Sounds good to me. I'll do that when there's no reason you might want to not take an AoO.

The goblin barely ducks under Valeria's swing. Luckily its clumsy dodge doesn't do much for its aim, and its strike falls short of its target as well.

Valeria takes a step away from the goblin, swinging her glaive Amin a powerful arc as she does so.
__________
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Move: Can't tell if you already moved the citizen squares, but I'll 5' step to N11.
Standard: Attack

Question: any chance you could post some relevant enemy information, such as AC, CMD, and Saves, so we can tell when we hit or succeed on a spell for our descriptive text? You may not want to, but I've seen it in other campaigns and was just curious.

Edit: Adding an AoO counter, yay Combat Reflexes!
AoO's Remaining: 2/3

He moved forward darting from the running crowd as best he could drawing out another arrow as he did so. He fired as he moved at the goblin directly in front of the Calistrian maiden who had been teasing him all day trying to get closer miss Valeria as well.

arrow2: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

thanks for all the bonuses everyone...a durn shame my damage is crud >.<

Sure, that's fine. AC 16, touch 13, flat-footed 14, Fort +3, Ref +2, Will –1, CMD 12

Valeria's glaive strikes true, finding the goblin's throat. The foul little creature gurgles in pain before slumping to the ground, unmoving.

Corrin's aim is almost on the mark, but his arrow lodges in the goblin's leather armor, not wounding the creature.

He continued to rush towards the sounds of battle!

Double move to R13.

The only standing goblin gleefully steps in and swipes at Lacuna, unaware or uncaring of how outnumbered it has become in its eagerness to draw blood. The sword slips past Lacuna's defenses, tearing open a gash on her side. No citizen movement since I'm at work.

Goblins > Lacuna > Zoruk > Valeria > Corrin > Goldenguard

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Pre-posting, as I will be at work most likely when my turn comes up. Either way, I would at the very least move to this location, just depends on whether or not my target still stands if I attack.

Valeria had never taken a life before. Most of her combat experience had been sparring with champions of Shelyn, and they had always taken it relatively easy on the young girl. Now, however, she stood over the bleeding form of a goblin. While it was a vile creature, intent on murder and bloodshed, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as she looked into the terrified eyes of the diminutive creature as it died. The young girl couldn't help but feel the tears begin to well up in her eyes.

She shook her head in an attempt to regain her focus. "This isn't over yet, Valeria! If you don't focus more people could be hurt or killed!" She pushes out of the line of fleeing people, and makes her way through an opening in the crowd of panicked citizens, hoping to reach her new friends in time. She could see Lacuna get stabbed by the cruel blade of one of these things, as well as Corrin running to her aid. An apparent mage was also taking part in the battle, which was a relief to the young priestess.

As she sprints over to get an opportune angle on the greenskinned menace, she is bumped by a man fleeing the scene, causing her attack to miss the goblin by a decent margin.
__________
Move: From N11 to M12 to I12.
Standard: Attack Goblin in G13.

Attack against Goblin in G13: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

His magic seemed to be failing him or the goblins were cursed with some exceptional luck. All that he knew of goblins made them out to be fearsome in numbers and against the weak. Yet these were breaking the norm with every moment. In response it made him more cautious and a little curious. Again he would change his approach. Chanting while going through the motions of the simple spell he felt a slight tingling in his spell pouch as the magical focus of his spell reacted to the casting.

Move Action: Move to F17
Standard Action: Cast Message

Zoruk's Intimidate (+2 Circumstance Bonus): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Once Zoruk's turn comes up, if the goblin is still standing after Lacuna's blow...

The goblin screeches in confusion. "AAH! LONGSHANKS NO! Out of my head! You not take words!" He looks like he will be shaken for about two rounds.

Trying to fight through the crowd and still keep his footing the half-elf didn't realize how close he was to the goblins till he realized he was literally right beside it. He stepped back quickly before the thing noticed him and drew and fired quickly too quickly. If his trainers were here they would hide their heads in shame... he too wanted to hide. He was worse than horrible at the moment. that shot had been to far to the left he didn't even think the goblin noticed he had fired at it.

arrow3: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14

five foot step back to f16 I think fire and miss

Lacuna leapt back in pain from the gash and gritted her teeth. She wasn't about to take this lying down. In her fury, however, she was unable to connect a blow with her attacker.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage Roll: 1d6 ⇒ 2

I'm going to assume that if you had been able to move the crowd, G16 would be free to 5-foot-step into, and I'd do that.

Goldenguard finally spotted one of the creatures, and, swerving around the woman who seemed to be engaged with it already, made it there just in time to see the fight.

I can't quite make it in one move, so double move to O9! Sorry I kept you all waiting for so long, I had a con to go to as well.
