Nicholae moves to L15 - attacking once any of the goblins come within arms reach and getting close to the oracle to lend support.
Jubrayl moves warily in front of Ned and the wounded Mervyn.
Mervyn slings his shield on his back once again, and retrieves his switchscythe.
I think you meant either R17 or Q18, but the one at Q18 is dying. But since a couple of goblins got to act first this round, it made sense for Ned to go after the closest enemy.
Goblin Attack Regular Combat, Round 3– results [NOTE – I removed the dying goblins from the earlier engagement, in order to clarify this battle]
Goblin5 shrieks in delight and charges straight for Selia, slashing the air with a sputtering torch as he crosses the square. Laughing madly, he lunges forward, but the lithe warrior easily dodges his flaming brand (K16)
At the same time, Goblin8 tosses a torch into the narthex of the new chapel and scampers after his companion with an evil giggle. (M16)
Ned charges the closest goblin, which happens to be the one attacking Selia, but his greatsword slices only flame, as his quarry proves just a bit faster.
Hakak also charges the closest opponent, but the dexterous goblin proves too fast to be easily hit.
The goblins’ singer (M15) continues to scream out a rallying cry as he advances on you all. He rushes forward, whip in hand, gesturing wildly and pulling a tiny cake and a raven’s feather from a ratty leather pouch. Hakak, give me a Will save, please.
Goblin7 scampers upon the podium, throwing a fiery torch on the steps, laughing maniacally at the chaos in front of him.
Goblin17 charges Nicholae, waving torches in each hand wildly, but his undisciplined attack comes to naught (L10).
Mervyn slings his shield on his back once again, and retrieves his switchscythe.
Selia falls back five feet away from the goblins and reloads her crossbow.
Nicholae slashes at his assailant, who crumples to the ground, and then the cleric rushes close to Selia (I couldn’t get you to the exact square, since Hakak got there first).
Father Zantus’ hands give off a golden glow upon his muttered prayer, and Mervyn is restored instantly to full health.
Jubrayl moves warily in front of Ned and the wounded Mervyn.
Note that the goblins in L10 and Q18 are dying, prone & unconscious. I need a Will save for Hakak, as well as actions & rolls for the next round from everyone.
Nicholae tries to cut down the goblin at J16, knowing that this should free up his friend to use his bow if he can drop it.
Jubrayl continues with his previous tactic, and charges the goblin singer.
Ugh. Sounds like that time when Ned got Nicholae drunk and he wouldn't stop singing sailor tunes.
Hmm.. well, i hope we haven't lost Mervyn or Ned. I'll get results posted shortly.
Goblin Attack Regular Combat, Round 4– results
Goblin5 (K16) flings his torch aside and draws a wicked looking knife before growling, “I’ll feast on your guts, longshanks.” He stabs Nicholae (4 hp dmg), and licks his blade clean with a revolting fat purple tongue spilling over rotten yellow teeth.
Goblin7 (I19) cavorts carelessly atop the podium, laughing all the while, and dances right into some wooden chairs. He crashes into the ground, his arms tangled in a chair lying on top of his contorted form.
Selia takes advantage of the goblin’s momentary helplessness, launching a quarrel at her incredibly stupid foe, which smacks the fellow in the chest.
(since I don’t see a posted action for Ned, I’ll assume a basic melee attack for him). Ned strikes a blow at Nicholae’s antagonist, but the deft creature proves too fast.
(same for Mervyn) Mervyn rushes over, switchscythe in hand, and puts an end to the foul beast’s pointless destruction forever.
Father Zantus rushes up behind Nicholae, whispering gentle words of his faith, and miraculously, the damage from the goblin’s blade disappears.
The warchanter (N15) keeps up her dreadful tune. “You be few, you be stew”, which causes her companions to laugh all the more. With a snap, her whip snakes out towards the lumbering half-orc, and wraps around his right ankle. But, her pull is so feeble compared to her opponent’s strength, she escapes falling forward by dropping her whip, which unspools round Hakak’s leg.
Goblin8 (M16) turns his fury on Hakak, but his small blade proves too easy for Hakak to parry.
The warchanter hisses in dismay, but proves fast enough to avoid Jubrayl’s charge.
Nicholae also has difficulty getting a good swing at his dancing, chortling target. “Longshanks too slow for us, hey!”
But Hakak proves the boast to be without merit, as he strikes his foe hard in the chest. The goblin looks amazed, then cross-eyed as he wobbles on his feet.
From streets all around you, you still hear the cries of dismay along with disturbing laughter from goblins causing havoc. Smoke from fires is becoming more prevalent.
Ned will move to K7 (provoking an attack of opportunity but gaining flank) and attack the goblin at K6
Jubrayl's face darkens, his former levity gone. He swings his axe at the chanter once again.
Ned , Nicholae, those goblins are dying/prone/unconscious. Can you give me a different action? Those critters have little symbols on their tokens, which indicate these states. The symbols are probably hard to make out, but if you zoom in on the image, it should be a little clearer.
Sorry about the past couple of days, BTW. Work yesterday was especially brutal.
Also, we're definitely getting a new player, probably this weekend. I'll have more details in a day or so.
There's one right beside you both in K16. CAn i assume you're both attacking him?
Ned will move to K7 (provoking an attack of opportunity but gaining flank) and attack the goblin at K6greatsword: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9
Sorry about the lack of Initiative info. Yes, I'm re-rolling initiative each round, and so far, I like how this is working. It's nicely mirrors the chaos of combat. I didn't post the order because I didn't want to clutter up the results with a list of numbers.
But, to be fair to you, I think that after I post results, I should post the apparent intentions of any visible combatants.
I'll go ahead and assume Nicholae is hitting Ned's target as well. That way we can finally move forward.
Goblin Attack Regular Combat, Round 5– results
The warchanter cautiously steps back from your combined onslaught, utters a loud prayer in her baleful language, and an evil glow surrounds her comrade, restoring his vigor.
Goblin8 (M16), his stupor removed, is able to nimbly dodge Hakak’s vicsious blows. “The ugly longshanks taste better, right?” he asks his partner.
Selia’s alert rings in your ears. The loudest cries are just to the north of the market now.
Goblin5 (K16) dances about, laughing at the chaos around all of you. His crude dogslicer blade bites deep, hurting Ned (3 hp).
Jubrayl steps up to the small warchanter (I’m assuming you’d follow her move). But his axe is too slow for the nimble warrior.
As Ned jumps forward to the podium, his gleeful opponent lashes again, dealing another 4 hp damage, but his laughter trails off fast upon realizing that he’s trapped between two much larger enemies. Ned delivers a killing blow, and the goblin flops to the ground.
Goblin8(M16) leaps up to attack Hakak once more, snarling at the sight of his fallen brother. But his skill doesn’t match up to his ferocity, and his blows are easily parried by the half-orc.
Mervyn steps backwards (B20) and calls out, “Hey fellas, there’s some folks that need help up this way.”
Father Zantus rushes to Ned’s side. “Once again you’ll suffer my ministrations, lamb.” Ned regains 7 hp.
Nicholae steps forward (I’m assuming you’d do a 5’ step to L16 and help Hakak), but once again, the lithe goblin avoids the cleric’s blade.
Almost surrounded, your opponents gaze about the newly deserted square. With so many of their goblin-kin lying dead or dying in the street, you see their confidence start to sag.
Do goblins have a weakness? Ned will make a knowledge check
*edit*
before taking a 5' step to L17 and take a swing at the goblin
You can't recall anything at the moment about a weakness.
Yes, little beasts. This was a tremendously bad idea.
[ooc] I'm going to keep pressing the war hanger, moving as necessary.[ooc]
Yes, little beasts. This was a tremendously bad idea.
Attacking the one the dwarf is fighting, Nicholae swings hard... For Iomadae!

Goblin Attack Regular Combat, Round 6– results
Dodging Nicholae’s thrust did the fearsome goblin little good, as he stepped right into the swing of Ned’s greatsword, and he is immediately cut down.
The warchanter draws a long dogslicer and makes an amateur-like stab at Jubrayl, missing completely.
Jurbrayl returns the gesture, but the goblin is able to parry the blow.
“Ho! Trouble ahead up this way, fellas.” Mervyn calls out, and runs north into a side street. “This way!”
Hakak steps up (I’m changing targets for you, since it’s only a 5’ step), but the sword swipe is too wild, and the warchanter dodges the blow.
Selia sees the gnome disappear. There is definitely chaos engulfing streets to the north. The fight here in the square has largely cleared. But, from the northern streets, you hear more shouts from the guard, the echo of singing goblins, and clanging swords.
Nicholae steps forward, coming to Hakak’s side, crashing his sword down at the goblin singer, but he also misses.
Facing with such fearsome opponents all alone, you see a look of sheer terror on the warchanter’s face. From the way she shoulders her weapon, you can tell she’s thinking hard about her chances, and that maybe surrender is her only way out.
No, I just wasn't very clear. Ned definitely killed that little bugger. Here's the first line again:
Dodging Nicholae’s thrust did the fearsome goblin little good, as he stepped right into the swing of Ned’s greatsword, and he is immediately cut down.
The goblin was attacked by Nicholae at the very end of Round 5, and then your action was the first in Round 6.
Jubrayl briefly looks up to see where Mervyn has run off to, quickly assesses the town square, and makes a decision.
Ned, Selia! Go help Mervyn! It's under control here, and we need to make sure they aren't doing more damage elsewhere!
No, I just wasn't very clear. Ned definitely killed that little bugger.
At Jubrayl's words Ned looks around and nod in agreement. "Finish that one and catch up as soon as you can!"
Ned will sheath his greatsword while running over to where he had dropped his bow and stoops to recover it.
Nicholae charges after Hahak.
