DM: Spoiler: here is what I will post if I am to far away, if not than I will repost.
Aradove looks at the goblin across the gate from her, she has her scimitar in hand a realizes that she will need to get closer to attack or else draw her bow. She looks for a place to crouch down and readies her bow so that she can find a clear shot.
Aradove listens to what Erian has to say and then knows what needs to be done. "Erian, I am going to jump down and see if I can take down what ever is below us. I would appreciate any help that you are willing to give." With that said Aradove grabs a hold of the edge of the wall and lowers herself to the ground. She has her Scimitar in hand as she carefully begins her decent.......
Aradove hears talking coming from below her and she concentrates to hear everything that is being said. Aradove talks with Erian about what they should do. Erian and DM Spoiler: *read my listen checks it will be faster than me typing all of it out. I was planning on telling you everything I knew and heard. After she tells you all of it she asks what you think we should do.
DM I did a spell check let me know if it yields anything. I would have told Erian this info as well.
Aradove sits and watches as the fighting continues below her. Suddenly she gets goosebumps along her skin and her ears pick up a strange sound coming from the south part of the wall. As she looks for where the sound maybe coming from suddenly she sees what it is. "Oh my Erian we have bigger problems than the goblins." she says as she trys to get his attention.
Erian Spoiler: "Erian that is a very big snake coming along the wall, If I remember my training right it is a Kreptyls. They are sometimes used by Goblins. They have very hard armor but magic can take them down. But they can spit acid like stuff from their mouths for quite a ways. We need to warn the others."
Aradove watches as the goblin she hit tries to get a shot off at her. Aradove takes a deep breath in and calms herself. In one swift motion Aradove grabs yet another arrow and places it into her bow and takes aim at the goblin. Aradove lets the arrow go.
Aradove motions to Erian that there are several guards right below them. She assumes that he is unable to see them but that he too heard them approaching. She is hoping that he is able to see her good enough to know what she is trying to tell him. Aradove crouches lower to the wall so that she is as low as she can go while being able to still shoot her bow. Aradove aims her arrow at the goblin below her (R8) pulls back her bow and lets her arrow fly swiftly towards the goblin, knowing that they will now know she is here and hopes that her arrow makes its mark.
Aradove sits back and listens to all of the talk amongst everyone. " I will go with you Ava, to find a hiding spot to take up the rear." Aradove plans to follow the same plan that Ava has as far as attacking from behind. She figures that Ethelwulf and her would be better and help more in this position.
Before leaving the area Aradove and Ethelwulf cover the bodies with leaves and sticks hoping to conceal them enough so that they may not be noticed by a passerby.
"Well then I guess that it is settled. We are all going back into town together and Dinpel will report to the church. Furthermore I think we need to address this trap that Memnon talks about once we get a better look at the center of town and see what advantages and disadvantages we have." Aradove looks at her companions waiting for a response, she feels nervous standing here doing nothing with such little time left.
Ready, I think
Aradove and Ethelwulf will be waiting for you if you feel the need to start up again. Congrats on the new position and best of luck to you!
I will follow the group or the druid if she splits off; limping along with a grimace; looking to the knight for leadership. Aradove listening to Lady Janas and Dinpel stops and thinks for a moment. She notices that Dinpel seems to be in a little pain and seems to be moving slower than the rest. "I agree that there is danger coming towards this town but getting all of them to believe us is quite another thing. What would all of you say if Dinpel, Ethelwulf and I stay back and scout around a bit to see if anything else seems to be out of place, or if there are some advantage points that we can place a few people. I can tell Ethelwulf to come and find you Erian to let you know if we are in trouble. I think having two group will be a better idea than having all of us go in and start spouting off about the danger that is about to come and have the town come up against us. What do you think Memnon?"
Taking Veirax's lead, Erian motions to Dardin, then walks to the edge of the clearing away from Estra. He waits for any others that might join them, then talking in a low voice says, "We should obviously get this news to the city quickly, but we need not let this young one know she was destined for sacrifice. Once she's ready, and Veirax has seen to Memnon, we can gather up everything and take it to the town. I'll go get Sherwyn to help with the load." The ranger waits for any response, then heads off to get his horse. Thinking of something as he leaves the clearing, he says in a louder voice, "Anyone want to head out with me while I fetch my horse?" Aradove looks about and then runs to catch up withErian, " Ethelwulf and I would be glad to go back with you to get your horse. Quite honestly it will be nice to take a walk and clear my head of all that has happened. What do you think of all that has happened?"
Int: 15+7=22
Aradove looks at Erian and sees that he is worried about Ethelwulf, "Thanks for your concern, he is hurt but I think that he will be just fine ." Aradove pats Ethelwulf on the head. "Both Ethelwulf and I will go with you to help look for any other goblins." Aradove and Ethelwulf head towards the direction that Erian went.
Aradove seeing Ethelwulf get hit by one of the Goblins arrows becomes enraged. " Ethelwulf! No!" Knowing that she should not have said anything, steps a few feet closer to where the goblin is, grabs yet another arrow and sends in sailing through the air hoping that this time she will take the little monster down.
The goblin to the west spots Aradove and Ethelwulf moving in its direction through the trees and positions itself accordingly. Aradove’s aim would have been true if not for the dense foliage that the missile hits into. The goblin, who is now 20 ft away, hisses at you and starts to nock an arrow in the Druid’s direction.
Upon hearing Erian shout the locations of several goblins most of which she had seen. Aradove is 20 ft to the northwest of the fire. Aradove knows that there is a least one if not two Goblins to the west of the fire. She heads along some bushes and rocks to attempt to get a better shot at anything at this point. Aradove places an arrow into her bow and pulls back, she aims for some trees and bushes to the west of the fire. Not having a clear sight of a goblin she is hoping that her arrow will stir some movement so she will be able to get a clean shot with her second arrow. Aradove tells Ethelwulf to be ready. She lets her arrow go and waits....
"What is he doing? Has he lost his mind!" Aradove thinks to herself as she watches Memnon go blasting through the trees right into what she believes is a trap. Aradove runs up to a small boulder about 20 feet from the fire. She has her bow in hand and is ready to fire at anything that seems out of place. Ethelwulf stays close to her as they make this move.
Aradove heads up the trail towards the fire. She finds a nice tree to hide behind. From this view she figures that she is 50 ft away from the fire.
Aradove looks about and listens, trying to determine just where everyone is. Ethelwulf stands next to here sniffing at the ground and acting a bit nervious. Aradove squats beside him and lays her hand on his head. She speaks to him in Druidish " I ghue fimg dou cien wiko forh seun." DM Spoiler:
She tells him that she knows me is excited but he needs to stay still and wait with her.
Aradove looks over again at the goblin. "The spell I casted may not work but at least I tried." Aradove pats Ethelwulf on the head and turns to see where Erian has gone to. "Well here goes nothing. You will be on my mind, each of you as we part ways, I hope for the best for all of you. Good Luck." With that Aradove and Ethelwulf turn towards the copse of trees, bow in had ready for what may lie ahead and vanish into the darkness behind Erian.
Aradove looks back to the goblin, "I feel that if we try to move this goblin that he will parish. It is in our best interest if I try to heal him." Aradove kneels next to the goblin who doesn't smell exactly wonderful but she choices to ignore it for the moment. Aradove looks towards the sky and places her hands on the goblins head. "Ehlonna, the goddess of the woodlands please give this goblin the strength to heal these wounds that have been bestowed upon him. Please help brings these wounds together to heal properly and restore his strength." With that Aradove takes a deep breath in and then lets out a quite sigh. "This is all that I can do, I hope it will be enough."
Aradove listens to Erian's ideas. "I am able to take care of Sherwyn if need be You are more than welcome to take Ethelwulf, however I typically use Druid with him. He does understand Elvish so you would need Ava, Dardin, Lady Jana or Shepherd to speak with him. I can tell him to obey you but as he is a wild animal, his instincts do come first and sometimes he doesn't listen. If needed I can stay with the goblin however with my low light sight I might be better used to scout about the goblins. With Dinpel hiding I feel that we need to act quickly. What are the rest of you planning to do?" Aradove says this while looking about the rest of the group.
Erian looks down at the fallen goblin, then back toward the woods. "We need to get in there as quickly as possible. Veirax and Aradove, can either of you use enough magic to stablize the goblin, but not bring about consciousness? If so, we can do that, tie him to Sherwyn, then headto the woods to see what's what. If we go back to the city, all or some of us may be detained for questioning and such--we may not have that kind of time."
Aradove catches up to Erian and Shepherd. " I do have a spell to cure light/minor wounds but we need to decide if we want to us this on the goblin or if we should wait if one of us needs it."
"I agree that we might have been spotted I can see Erian ahead of us, Ethelwulf is still beside him." Aradove squats down and pulls her bow from her back. She thinks to herself, at least we are prepared. Listen 8+9=17
Balance Check: 15+2=17 DM:
"Dinpel, you always make me smile. I will step on your shoulders and see just what balance the two of us have." Aradove steps onto Dinpels shoulders and is pleasantly surprised to see that they are quite stable and balanced. Dinpel takes a few steps forward and backward. Aradove jumps down. "Well that went rather well don't you think? I suppose that we should get back to the task at hand before we upset anyone."
Handle Animal 18+7= 25 to Defend Erian while he is with the Goblin Track Check 19+5=24 For DM: Spoiler: Aradove whisles at Ethelwulf hoping that he is within earshot. She hears two barely audiable short yelps. She knows from this signal that he is fine and can hear her. She lets out two long whistles and three short whistles that are at a high pitched frequency barely audible to anything other than a wolf. She lets him know that she wants him to defend Erian if anything attempts to attack him. She also signals him through two short whistles a one long whistle that if Erian needs help Ethelwulf can signal Aradove with three short howls.
The guard doesn't give time for Aradove to respond. Aradove stands there for a moment after the guard turns and leaves. Aradove hears Memnon knock down the gate. From her point of view she is able to see part of the gate with Memnon standing there. Aradove thinks to herself, "Well do I jump and take the chance of getting hurt or do I go back down the ladder and go through the gate with everyone else?" At the same time Aradove is worried about Ethelwulf, as she is rarely without him. Aradove decides to go back down the ladder and join the rest of the group. Before heading back she takes a look over the side of the wall in hopes of seeing something that may be helpful to the group, as it would be a waste of a trip if she did not. Aradove wonders what Dinpel will decide to do when he sees her returning from the wall.
Check 14+2=16
As Aradove turns she places her hand on her dagger. As the shifter finishes asking her questions she can hear Dinpel below and to the left. "I am Aradove Dawntracker and the gate below seems to be broken. There are some mysterious noise and movement coming from past the gate. I am merely jumping over the wall to take a closer look, I mean you no harm or trouble." May I finish what I am doing."
Ethelwulf rolled a 18+2=20 for initiative
Aradove looks towards Dinpel a little unsure. " I will try stealth thing. I can sneak over the wall and come around the other side from which Erian and Ethelwulf are coming from. There for then we will have three out of the four sides covered." Aradoves move silently check 10+2=12 hide check 12+2=14
Ethelwulf spot check = 11+3 =14 Survival check = 17+1=18
The ranger shakes his head again. "The distance is too far--even at a full run it'll take me nearly a minute to cross that much terrain. That's easily enough time for them to scatter and hide. Also, goblins are indeed your size, but they move as fast as a human. There is little chance, without surprise, that we could catch them on foot, and Sherwyn won't fit through that grate. Just keep acting like you've seen nothing and they'll have no reason to bolt." " I agree with Erian, Ethelwulf will be able to keep up with him but I will not. The way I see it we have several ideas floating around and we are losing valuable time. Erian can you go around reasonably fast while we stay here for a few minutes then go through the gate? Will we meet up at the same time thus taking them by surprise and from around two sides? We can still do what Dinpel is implying maybe just toned down a bit. What do all of you think?"
