Round 2
There is some small fluttering come into the room and you see the feaire fly into the room, she quickly says in her little voice, "I ran out of beast form the goblins are across in the other room!" She hovers above Saronis.
Urdrsk you are 20 feet from the door, Maqan you are 25 feet from the door, and Saronis is now 5 feet from the door after his movement in Round 2.
The dwarf makes is way toward the door and listens.
Maqan readied a spell on her hand, wait for a goblin to be bold enough to enter the room
There is no door. Just an archway.
One goblin is in the hallway with dagger in hand ready to charge and there are a lot of his buddies behind him.
Round 3 Commence!
If you stay there they charge you!
Standing next to Urdrsk he offers, "Scare 'em and let's go."
Urdrsk nods, and takes a large breath, then roars like a dragon!
you can see the fear in their eyes. Those dark evil slits quickly change into large whimpering eyes.
"They're scared. Lets go" With that Maqan moved away from goblins.
Round 3
He yells as he moves forward, likely slicing the front goblin in half putting emphasis on why the goblins should be scared.
The goblins flee but the closest one doesn't have a chance. Cut in half in drops to the ground. With Maqan in the lead the group leaves. Once your group is past Cook Cook and he sees the goblins he casts entangle, allowing the plants to reach even further.
He brings up the rear of the group being the slowest. Following their lead but that sounds good. He pulls his bow out and begins peppering the back of the goblin swarm if possible.
Cook-Cook waited patiently until the others returned, all the time he had the young goblins collect all the food they had and cook up the largest pot filled with water. One by one the younger goblins came to him and he would look at the meats, plants, herbs and roots the goblins had gathered and sometimes say: "Yes, this will do good. Chop these up as small as you can." or "No...These ones do not have the properties I seek, do you have something else?"
When the goblins bring him herbs, Cook-Cook sniffs them once, exhales and sniffs them again. Often it is "No, this will not do, I can't use this. ", though on some occasion it is like this: "Ooohoo yes! yes! This will make the brew far more potent, keep this and pluck off all the leaves."
All the while Cook-Cook kept his eyes only seconds from where the others ran off to, while giving out the last orders for the goblins, the group hastily returned from their incursion into the enemy goblin encampment.
Cook-Cook waited until the group was out of the spell's range and calls out in a loud voice:"Entagla! Tellemano!" When suddenly the flesh-eating plants grow more vines and lash out at the pursuing goblins.
With the pursuing goblins entangled, Maqan took the chance to throw another ball of acid back at them.
A little bit of acid, arrows, and the meat eating entangling plants and half of the goblins are killed, the other half retreat.
"It seems like we have won for now." Maqan said as she stepped up, placing one of her hands upon the pendant.
With the goblins out of sight, those caught in the entangling field beginning to be digested, and Cook Cook making a pot of stew.
He takes a whiff of the food and compliments the goblin, "Oh wow! That smells really good. So suggestions on the next step? How long does your spell last? Did they want us to wipe out the other group or just their chief?" Holding his bow he looks at the group, his sword is nearby stuck in the ground.
Some of the young goblins helping Cook Cook nod and tell Cook Cook in goblin, "We will go find out and bring chief."
The chief and the few adults that are able return with the youngsters. He proclaims, "It would be best for them all to survive but with the lack of food, perhaps they should die."
Cook-Cook looks on as the goblins from the other tribe get stuck in the entangling vines of the flesh-eating plants. He looks on with mixed feelings, but in the end resigns himself to the fact, that goblins just fight other tribes continuously.
He walks off after the others and returns to his stew that is cooking in the pot.
"I don't think they will be much trouble anymore now to mop the rest up. I'm not sure how many you've taken out, but this will at least have scared them off good." Cook-Cook says to Maqan, Urdrsk, Gavin and Saronis.
Cook-Cook shares the stew with all the other goblins that were hungry, ill and hurt and divides it as best as he can. "Stew is ready! Everyone should eat some of it!"
The stew glows for a few moments, then goes back to its bubbling and boiling.
Urdrsk stoically allows the goblins to eat their holy food. The dwarf warrior finds a rock to sit on in hopes of recovering his energy.
You have about 18 warriors, 10 being young and 8 adult. They seem weak even in goblin terms but they each have a weapon or two and are ready to fight.
Everyone has eaten, that wanted some, and there still is more in the pot surprisingly.
He stows his bow and arrows. Next he shrugs at the measly goblin warband. Then he gives Maqan a reassuring squeeze on her arm. Before he picks up his sword and suggests, "Get ready I believe the spell is about to break. Urdrsk, would you lead the charge?"
Maqan gave Saronis a half smile, obviously worried. "Try to take the pressure off of the younger ones." Maqan suggested to her friends as she readied her blade.
Cook-Cook tugs at Saronis's cloak. "I'll be going with you on this one. Most of the goblins here have healed a bit and got rid of their sicknesses. Thanks to the God of Noodles, may his blessings grant us full stomachs. I'm not much of a fighter, but I will help as best as I can with any magic I still possess."
Cook-Cook grips the handle of the club he got from his half-orc friend and sighs.
If I must defend myself, so be it. Hopefully I will not hurt anyone too badly.
He nods to the goblin cook and as the entangling mass of plants drops he charges forward along the side aiming to finish them off in his mind.
The spell ends and the elf charges forward along the safe route. No goblins can be seen and the elf charges on his own if need be. No goblins come out to greet him and once he gets to the entrance he goes in, alone if necessary.
When the spell fell, Maqan followed after Saronis. If fewer of the enemies got past them more of those behind would survive.
The two of you find a trio of goblins waiting for you to get passed where the goblin guards were before.
Maqan 1st
Saroins 3rd
goblins 2nd
goblins perception (2 readied actions)
Two of the goblins seem prepared for you when you go into the room. Two of them slice at Saronis. One swings and hits his armor as the other swings and the rusty blade falls off before it has a chance to hit.
Round 1
He charges into the room with abandon almost falling among the goblins. His blade seems to have better reflexes than him as he swings...
His first swing likely misses but given another chance the blade bites deep cutting the goblin in half,
Urdrsk charges from behind the elf and human pair to attack one of the goblin guards.
The goblin hit by Saronis's blade just explodes from the damage. Urdrsk hits one in the head dropping it to the ground as blood gushes from the wound.
Maqan swung the blade the moment the goblins came into range, then came back around for another swing!
Round 1
As Maqan misses, the one goblin is still left and he has some friends coming down the hallway. As another steps out from one of the side paths as well 30 feet from the group, . The other two pass the one looking dazed shrieking bloody murder with their spears out ready to poke you. Their charge stops 15 feet away from the trio. A bunch of the goblins enter at the end of the cave, at least 10.
Round 2
Round 1
The little flittering faerie continues to whiz above Saronis's head but as battle started she dove back. Then a tremendous badger snarls and scrapes its wicked, shovel-like claws. Stocky muscles ripple beneath its streaked and shaggy fur. It is easily 4 feet tall at the shoulder and a good 500 pounds. It moves its way forward but can't get to its goblin quarry and growls waiting for an opening.
Wishing to make up for her failure the first round, Maqan swung at the one before her once more. Then she'd turn her attention to the rest.
Round 2
The goblin shrieks in pain but does not go down. Though seeing that its allies are mush or lay bleeding on the ground, it disengages then retreats behind the other two goblins who rushed forward and beyond. At the end of 40 feet it turns around and mocks you with one hand on its nose and the other on its spear.
The two goblins that rushed forward see the blood and back up, then brace their spears next to the mocking goblin. The dazzled goblin in the doorway pulls out a sling and lets it go to hit Saronis. As the other goblins flood the hallway, now 14 goblins in leather armor fill the cave. Being that it is 10 feet wide those behind pull shortbows, crossbows, javelins, slings or other ranged weapons.
Vs. Saronis
Round 2
Only the bolt gets through his armor, his padding below his armor begins to seep blood, he painfully sighs before pulling it out with his off hand as he charges forward. Both hands on the curved blade he charges into the braced spearmen, trusting they can't get through his armor.
Round 2
The two goblins in front are really surprised by the charging elf, they hold their spears still braced and in front of them hoping that the furious elf will be skewered upon them... the goblin doesn't think much more as the armor on the elf deflects his spear and his blade cuts him in half.
If Urdrsk charges as well...
Round 3
Round 2
The dire badger follows the dwarf and goes for the slinger...
The dwarf miner lets out a thunderous roar.
Maqan swung again, however this time she was just a bit short.
Cook-Cook wasn't as fast as the others, so it was hard for him to keep up as the others ran out to battle the goblins for a second time. He came up to the fight only when the others had aready dealt with one goblin.
Though unsure of his own abilities in combat, Cook-Cook unslung his sling and loaded a pebble-bullet into it. Here goes nothing..
Round 2
Cook Cook gets his attack in Round 2 and barely misses.
Round 3
Maqan swings and misses. She is now shaken like the entire crew except for Saronis. Saronis gets hit by a flurry of attacks from the spears in front, with some even reaching for a hit. Then the ranged barrage nicks his armor as well but then an arrow hits his head dropping him. Blood everywhere upon him even more now.
Vs. Saronis
Vs. Urdrsk and Maqan?
Round 5
Vs. Saronis
Round 6
Vs. Saronis
Round 7
Vs. Saronis
Round 8
Vs. Saronis
Cook-Cook approaches the group of goblins and loads another bullet into his sling and hurls it at the closest goblin to Saronis he can see (orange).
Cook-Cook continues to hurl small stones at the nearest goblin that's in combat.
Round 4
The dwarf continues to wail on his goblin opponents.
Round 5
"There are just so many..." Maqan stated before she swung again.
Round 5
"Keep fighting!" Urdrsk bellows.
Round 6
