We’re Going to Fantasy Asia! (Inactive)

Game Master SamuraiNitta

You would be attacking around a corner, there’s a door, so it would give the goblin partial cover.

As Kidlat rushes past Ela’in he attacks the goblin with his katana from around the corner of the wall only to slice through part of the wall, his blade getting caught in the wall. A howl of laughter is heard as the goblin with the firework points at Kidlat falling down on the ground in a fit of hysteria.

This momentary distraction is all Butoka needs to bring both ends of bo staff down on the goblin in quick succession silencing the short burst of laughter.

”It’s alright Kidlat, you’ll get the next one! Erastil, watch over this one.”

As Kidlat gives one final heave to yank his katana from the wall, Ela’in places her hand on Kidlat’s shoulder he feels a warming light enter his body as Ela’in casts Touch of Good on Kidlat,

R2: Goblins, Butoka, Kidlat, Chakki, Sabs, Ela’in

Not sure if Kidlat remembered bless is going or if it would have mattered.

Sabs declares, "I'm not much more help here! Should have listened goblins!" She then jumps down next to Kabayo and takes a fresh date out of one of her rations. She offers it to the horse.

Round left on bless: 9

Chakki casts Ray of Frost at the Goblin standing in the door way.

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

@SamuraiNitta Is my Mage Armor still active?

@Chakki, yes, after this battle it will be done. And the goblin at the door was killed by Butoka. I’ll have you target one of the unconscious Goblins instead. I’m going to move in the place of the goblin that was just killed because Kidlat has taken your place. Remember that you guys should be able to move your pawns as well.

As another firework whizzes past Chakki’s head her finger wavers momentarily enough to pass the unconscious goblin’s head; who contiune to stay on the ground.

R3: Goblins, Butoka, Kidlat, Chakki, Sabs, Ela’in

If the only goblins that are left are unconscious then we should be able to either capture or murder them, full round action to coup de grace. My opinion would be the later because I don't want to lug around goblin prisoners and we gave them a chance to be peaceful.

@SamuraiNitta, that's a good question. Are all the goblins unconscious at this point?

They are still momentarily unconscious, but only momentary so make the decision quickly.

As Kidlat yanks his blade free from the wall, he looks over at one of the unconscious goblins. A slightly worried look washes over his face.

Kidlat slowly makes his way past Butoka, his sword almost limp by his side.

"Goblins can do already do a lot of harm..." he whispers to himself.

Looking at the goblin laying prone before him, Kidlat swiftly raises his katana, slicing the goblin's neck.(Attack)

Coup de Grace is a full round action, so this is what I am left with.

Katana Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 18 (+BAB/str +bless +Touch of Good)
Katana Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 (+str)

If the assumption is that Kidlat will just Coup De Grace them, I’m fine with just moving past this combat. Also in the future since it is a full round action you can’t move either, unless I’m missing something. This time its not a huge deal since the last two creatures of unconscious already

As Kidlat walks up to each unconscious goblin and plunges his sword into their chest only a moment of silence is taken by the party before a scream is heard outside of the building. ”Hey they aren’t skeletons! Get them!”, as more goblins begin pouring out of the various buildings. Six sound like they are coming from a building just to the south while three appear to be coming from the southeast.

All the goblins rush forward, three of them, smeared in red blood, come from the western side. Two of them jump down from the catwalk and get ready to fire their shortbows at Sabs while the other rushes toward Ela’in and swings its shortsword at her.

The goblin at the top pierces Ela’in’s armor with his shortsword

R1: Butoka, Goblins, Sabs, Chakki, Kidlat, Ela’in

Seeing Ela'in stabbed she exclaims,

She steps up to one of goblins with a shortbow and her hand bursts into brilliant fire. She winds up and tries to throw a ball of fire at the other goblin wielding a shortbow, aiming for the face.

Produce flame, ranged touch attack, bless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
Damage, fire: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The fire disappears from her hand and she then slips on her brass knuckles.

5ft step, Standard: Cast produce flame as a spell-like ability, attack with touch spell as a part of casting, Move: Draw weapon

Rounds left on bless: 7

Butōka swings around to face the goblin directly next to him and Ela, (dark red outline?) the fresh blood on his staff sprinkling the walls surrounding them. Butōka then lashes out with a flurry of blows, letting out battle cries as he attempts to silence the horrible creature.

bo staff flurry+bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 201d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15

bo staff damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
bo staff damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

R1: Butoka, Goblins, Sabs, Chakki, Kidlat, Ela’in

The Goblins look confused as Sabs shouts at them in their own language,

one of the goblins shouts as the other turns around just in time to duck under the fireball heading towards it.

Butoka’s bo staff connects with the goblin behind him spalltering him with the same dark red blood from the previous goblin and while the goblin is still standing it collapses onto a knee in front of Butoka.

”Excellent hit Butoka!” Ela’in shouts as her hand lights up with a white light, she instantly grows in size as the goblin takes a swing at Ela’in, connecting with her now enlarged form and slicing a large cut into her chest. Stricken by momentary pain, Ela’in lines up a shot at the goblin further away from Sabs. The arrow pierces the forehead of the goblin that dodged the fireball and it falls to ground.

"These goblins really need to chill out."

Chakki says as she casts ray of frost at the same goblin that Butoka just got done thrashing.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Kidlat, seeing the goblins just on the other side of the door, readies himself for an opening for him to move through.

"I'm afraid there's not much I can do right now." he says as he raises his blade.

I had posted moments before this post, but then almost immediately realized that the action which I took wouldn't actually be in line with Kidlat's character. This non-action is a bit more so.

Would I be able to hold for the moment that the goblin on the other side of Butoka falls, rendering that a space through which I can walk?

You could delay which means you're taken out of initiative order until you're ready to act or you can ready an action as a standard action. I recommend that you read up on how exactly they work since there is the potential to loose a turn of action.

@Kidlat Since Delaying would cause you to completely lose a turn this round, I’lol move forward assuming that your intent is to Ready An Action with the trigger being that if the Goblin in front of the door falls you want to move in to his space. But please look up how Delaying and Readying works if you dont know. The beauty of PBP is that you have the time to look up rules on your own, take advantage of that so you don’t slow down the rest of us.

As the blast of cold air leaves Chakki’s fingers, the goblin on his knees momentarily looks up with a look of sadness on his face before the cold energy washes over his body leaving a frozen goblin body to rot on the walkway forever.

Once the goblin is down Kidlat moves out onto the walkway in preparation for further combat.

R2: Butoka, Goblins, Sabs, Chakki, Kidlat, Ela’in

As the goblin in front of Sabs pulls back an arrow from his shortbow, Sabs lunges at him with her fist instead kicking up some mud that momentarily enters her eye causing her to miss. As she wipes the mud from her eye, an arrow strikes her in the leg. Sabs take 1 point of damage. Another arrow whizzes past Sabs’ head and she turns around to see that standing on a ladder above her is a goblin wearing dark blue leather armor with a shortbow trained on her.

A door opens behind Ela’in as a goblin wearing blue leather armor swings his shortsword at her. His sword gets caught in the door frame however and as while hes attempting to pull it out an arrow from the goblin in the back hits the door right next to the sword causing the blue Goblin to fall backwards and stumble in to the one behind it. Both the blue and light blue Goblins are moved back 5 feet and are prone

Another goblin rounds the eastern corner and head straight for Kidlat swinging his sword down as he does. Kidlat parries the blow with his katana and pushes the attack away from his body.

Chakki and Butoka hear a door opening behind them as two more goblins come in, one wielding a sword and the other a bow.

how high up are the rest of the party with respect to Sabs?

Roughly 5-8 feet above you, enough that you need a ladder to climb up to it, but not enough that cant hop down from the walk away.

Sabs takes another swing at the goblin she's next to, but remains wary of further attack.

attack, fighting defensively, bless: 1d20 - 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) - 5 + 1 - 4 = 3
damage: 1d2 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

She then moves next to the ladder near Ela'in.

AC is 21 until start of my next turn, I probably provoke from yellow border, but can't remember what kind of weapon it has.

Bless rounds 6

Butoka steps toward the two goblins to the south 5-foot step and lets out a low intimidating growl. He then propels forward at the goblin close to him brown border with a front kick followed by a quick elbow to the creatures head flurry

bo flurry + bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 61d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

R2: Butoka, Goblins, Sabs, Chakki, Kidlat, Ela’in

As Sabs swings at the goblin with her fist, the goblin dodges out of the way and tries to knock an arrow in his shortbow while Sabs moves away but drops the arrow in the mud.

Meanwhile above Butoka steps forward and looses a flurry of blows at the the Goblin in the dark brown leather. The first swing goes wide over the goblin’s head and the goblin uses the momentum to get into a more advantageous position. Committing to the second attack but now at a difficult angle, Butoka’s second swing forces him off balance and causes him to fall prone in front of the goblin.

The goblin takes a swing at the large Tiefling’s form but its sword only splinters the wood boards next to Butoka’s head.

As Ela’in begins shrinking she whispers, ”Not yet Old Deadeye, give me one more moment.” as her body glows with light again she begins to increase in size as she aims her bow at the goblin in the red armor that Sabs attacked.

The arrow connects and snaps the head of the goblin back in an instant as she reduces back to her normal size.

As he pushes the goblin's attack off with his katana, Kidlat follows through with a quick successive swipe at the goblin's chest. (standard - attack)

Katana: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23 (+Bab/str +bless]

damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 (+str)

After dealing what he believes to be a debilitating blow to the goblin, he turns around and rushes (move) in front of Ela'in.

This should provoke an attack of opportunity if the goblin does not fall. I am presently on my way to work and posting from my phone. I will update the map later from my computer if need be

Got you moved, whats with it everyone rushing into buildings I'm about to burn down? At least I'll be able to avoid getting Kidlat in the AoE

Probably would also be best to clarify that my attack was against Yellow border.

Chakki steps towards the goblins that came into the room behind her and casts Color Spray.

I think I'm in a position where I can get both goblins without hitting Butoka.

That's my last 1st level spell slot for the day.

R3: Butoka, Goblins, Sabs, Chakki, Kidlat, Ela’in

As both the goblins that Chakki targets with Color Spray get covered in a sea of rainbow, the one right in front of Chakki gets a chance to swipe at her with his short sword. It barely sails past her head as the arm holding the sword lets go of it, the goblin holding it now unconscious.

The one in the light yellow armor, wipes some color from his eyes and knock and arrow, firing it at the one who just cast a spell on them. The arrow connects with her shoulder. Chakki take 3 points of damage.

The goblins in front of Kidlat, both prone, beginning bickering on the ground and shoving each other on the ground. As the katana wielding samurai bursts through the door they scream momentarily and both stand up. Kidlat, you can take an AOO on the blue goblin if you want to.

The one in the back fires an arrow at Kidlat and it goes wide, lodging itself in the frame of the door, the twang echoing through the room.

The goblin at the top of the ladder fires another arrow at Sabs in a desperate attempt to prevent her from coming up the stairs; the arrow just whizzing past her face leaving her unaccosted and wound free. Kidlat could take either an AOO on Blue or Dark Blue

Sabs drops her shield, brass knuckles, and her gloves, anyone who is looking can see that her hands are badly and freshly burned. She climbs the ladder and when she is at the top rung she holds onto the ladder with one hand and casts burning hands with the other. The fire at first is a red-orange color but grows in intensity taking on a blue color finally. Drew my intended AoE on the map

Reflex DC 16, half
Burning hands, volatile conduit: 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + (2) = 6

Kidlat jumps back in surprise as the arrow reverberates in the doorframe as he looks at it for a single moment before he notices the goblin beginning to stand up in front of him. Seeing the opportunity to strike while the goblin is vulnerable, Kidlat swings his katana at his target. (Attack of Opportunity - blue goblin)

Katana Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8 (+str/BAB +bless)
Katana Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 (+str)

The goblin should have a -4 to AC as he hasn't resolved the standing up movement yet. I only say this because I personally just found out, not because I thought that anyone was unaware.

Forgot to count down bless, 5 rds left.

Butōka stands up (move action, no aoo from goblin cause I believe he’s unconscious?) and holds up his staff, preparing to strike the goblin if it comes near him. readied attack: standard action. If yellow goblin comes within reachable distance

R3: Butoka, Goblins, Sabs, Kidlat, Chakki, Ela’in

As Kidlat swings his sword at the goblin on his way standing up, the blade goes wide and Kidlat is able to pull it out of the way just in time before a torrent of flame engulfs the room. Both the goblins in front of Kidlat immediately burn to a crisp but the one in front of Sabs ducks under the flame. As he stands up the top of his hair is singed; the smell of burnt goblin hair and skin wafts through the room.

Ela’in moves in front of the door behind Butoka and fires an arrow at the goblin in the back. The arrow sticks into the ground just in front of the goblin, missing it entirely, ”Sorry I missed!” Ela’in shouts, ” I didn’t want to hit you Butoka!”

Kidlat is taken aback momentarily as he watches the goblin pair incinerated before his eyes before he realizes that he has an opportunity. Stepping behind the (dark blue) goblin so as to have a more advantageous position (5 ft step), he raises his katana for a strike against this for (standard - attack) from the pommel of his blade (Nonlethal attempt).

"I'm kind of curious what's going on here. Let's leave at least one alive."

Katana Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 18 (+BAB/str mod +flanking +bless -nonlethal)
Katana Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 (Nonlethal) (+str)

posting from my phone right now, I'm unsure if I will have time to access a computer to change the map until later tonight. I've tried my best to describe what I was trying to do if anyone would mind updating g the map in my stead like what @Sabs so kindly did last time.

Got you covered. Sadly you're not flanking, Sabs is threatening no one right now since she had to drop her brass knucks, which admittedly is the only reason she has them.

Incidentally my AC is 15 right now since I'm sure I count as climbing, no shield, no dex

Thank you so much! I knew I could count on you. That means that my earlier attack would have been a 16 to hit rather than that 18 I rolled.

Chakki takes a quick step back and fires a ray of frost at the goblin right in front of her. (Brown)

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Can Ray of Frost crit?

Yes touch attacks can crit.

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

R4: Butoka, Goblins, Sabs, Chakki, Kidlat, Ela’in

Kidlat hops next to the goblin wearing dark blue armor and knocks it unconcisous with the hilt of his sword. As its crumpled body falls down the rest of Sabs fire burns out in the room, leaving trails of smoke and the smell of burnt goblin flesh.

Chakki fires a ray of frost at the goblin in front of the unmoving goblin in front of her but as the cold subsides, the figure still appears to be breathing.

As a desperate last attempt to get out alive, the goblin in the light yellow armor fires one last arrow at Butoka but her fear causes her to shoot wide outside of the door.

If I let go of the ladder to drop down is that a move or can it be a 5ft step?

I’m fine with ruling that as a 5 foot step, its akin to dropping an item as a free action but with some movement involved lol

Sabs drops down from the ladder picks up her shield and then readies it. She winces as if in pain when she slips the shield on.

5ft step, move and move

Bless 4 rounds left

im posting on my phone so I am unable to move my character, would someone be willing to move Butōka 5 feet to the south?

Butōka dashes (5-foot step south) toward the unconscious (brown) and standing (yellow) goblin’s, He then attempts to strike the standing goblin on the side of his head and follow up with a slam down on the unconscious goblin.(flurry)

bo staff flurry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

bo staff damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

bo staff damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

I'm a token moving queen

With a swift step forward Butoka quickly dispatches both goblins in a lightning fast flurry of blows.

We’ll call that encounter over since the other Goblin is unconscious. Everybody take 405 XP. What do you guys do next?

@ Chakki, also Mage Armor is over.

Kidlat sheathes his blade and picks up the unconscious goblin, moving it over to the corner of the room where it can rest against the wall.

"Hey, commere a second. There's something weird about this place!" Kidlat says just loud enough to be heard easily by the other party members.

Wandering in to the room, Ela’in shyly states, ”Should.....should we wake him up now and question him?”

perception, DC 6, hear conversation, distance, through door: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

After stowing her gear Sabs climbs the ladder to meet Kidlat. At the top she covers her ear, "Aaaagh! No need to yell new friend!" She enters the room and continues, "It would only be peculiar if they meant they were skeletons without the corresponding soft tissue you would expect from a living creature. I can revive this goblin for questioning any time you want!" Sabs then goes to make sure the goblin doesn't die while the party debates the merits of healing it.

heal to stabalize: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

And fails miserably!

Satisfied with her work on the goblin Sabs examines the state of the injuries of the rest of the party.

IIRC Ela'in and Sabs are the only ones who need healing, if that's the case then I want to cast cure light on Ela'in but if someone else got hit I'll channel instead.

Upon seeing the gnomic woman enter into the room, and hearing her referral to him as a new friend for a second time now, Kidlat realizes that he hasn't really introduced himself.

"Hey, I haven't really introduced myself yet," Kidlat says as he turns toward Sabs and puts his right hand upon his chest, "I am Kidlat Jager, thank you for helping keep my compatriots safe during that battle."

Kidlat turns his head once more to the goblin laying against the wall, "...we should prooobably tie it up before we revive it though...just to be safe...Does anyone have any rope? I have some on Kabayo..."

Kidlat turns toward Sabs once more, slightly embarrassed that he just referenced a creature she would have little to no knowledge of, "Kabayo Schnell is the name of my horse...which reminds me, what was your name again?

Lifting his head up in thought, Kidlat continues his prior thought, "Anyway, I have some rope in his pack, but I sent him out of this village because the mud was really slowing him down. I didn't want him to become an easy target for the goblins, so there's that. Does anyone have any rope or something else we could tie this up with?"

Wasn't there a body in one of the rooms? Would Kidlat have seen that or did we gain any information from that at all?

Sabs smiles just a tad too widely to be normal and comfortable, "I'm Sabrina Sara Sierra Sablesash. You can call me Sabs if you have alliteration problems. I'm Astivan's foremost expert on human physiology and sociology! And I'm here to study you!" Sabs pounts directly at Ela'in, "And your other elusive swamp human tribemates!" She goes back to assessing any injuries.

When Kidlat mentions his horse she brightens up and asks, "Have you discovered animal husbandry? I don't think a horse would be too useful for swamp land, not enough room for them to run. And the goblins that frequent these lands would surely try to kill them! Amazing!"

cure light wounds vs Ela'in: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Sabs also casts recharge innate magic.
