We have definitely been struggling. I am always willing to push on, but if the others are feeling fatigued I would not be opposed to shutting it down.
Aviz nods in thanks to the reinforcements, more than doubling their numbers. But he still has a look of concern. "Will we be able to communicate with them in the field at all?" He asks.
"But if the goats lead strait down the mountain, will we follow by gravity?" Aviz says with an amused smile.
Aviz's brows go up in surprise as he flexes his suddenly-healed muscles. A powerful healer. Which likely means a powerful magic user. "Thank you. Your hospitality and help has been...much appreciated." "Come, let's get some food and some rest. I am sure in the morning we will have more wounds to open."
Aviz nods numbly. At this point he was casting his fate with them, which is what prompted him to stop ignoring the dire situation of his wounds.
"Thank you." Aviz says, and suddenly slumps against the wall. Ahh, ah... He grimaces, holding his shoulder. "And...some healing...we should get some food and some healing."
Woohoo! How are we doing HP? Aviz Level 2
Pretty simple and straightforward, fighter :)
"Any help is much appreciated." Aviz notes. "Do you have maps? We would like a tactical advantage against them, if we could have it."
"Where is this camp?" Aviz asks directly.
"Seeking to eradicate the source of the kobolds seems extreme, and out of our grasp. Perhaps we should focus on finding who we suspect to be the local group's leader." Aviz suggests. He looks at the lead goatman. "Would you have any idea where we could start such a search?"
So a wild ally to go with our wild enemy? Aviz wonders. He sips the tea slowly, not really caring for the taste but not wanting to be rude. "We share a common enemy. Perhaps we should point our swords together?" And be thankful I only knocked that one out of its tree instead of cutting him in half. Aviz thinks, wondering where they would have been if he had taken a more aggressive tactic.
Aviz raises a brow, surprised at the level of class suddenly shown. He goes from thinking he is walking amongst primitives to feeling like he doesn't belong in the snap of a finger. "Erhm, yes, thank you." Aviz takes a cup and sniffs it.
"What a lovely, er, mountain you have." He says awkwardly.
Aviz looks at the wound and frowns. Well, let's hope this isn't a trap. He enters.
"Yes, that would be much appreciated."
Aviz gets more and more unsteady as they move forward. While the goatmen were not fierce combatants, they were competent enough, and being lead into a trap or even superior numbers could spell their deaths. He gets more and more jittery as they go deeper into the forest, his head jerking around at every noise. But once in the mountains he relaxes; here he could use air superiority if he needed it. As they pass the traps, Aviz watches how they bypass them very carefully, doing his best to memorize the trap locations and ways of bypassing in case they need to come this way again without the aid of the goatmen. Aviz looks to the other when they are ushered to enter. Do we have any ways to converse with these creatures? He wonders.
Aviz hesitates, then follows along after Flouncy. Might as well. Seem to be less hostile than the dragon-kin.
So not sure how to proceed. Apparently our allies don't share a common language with us.
After taking a swipe, Aviz doesn't feel the need to chase any that got away. He turns to the goat creatures and eyes them for a moment to see if they're going to keep attacking.
Aviz launches another slice, finally narrowing down the nimble creatures and landing a blow!
Aviz attacks!
And continues
Aviz steps back and cleaves at the archers at his back, but nearly trips over the haft of his weapon instead.
Aviz tries to slash the creature as he stands but finds himself too close and his blade falls short. He snarls in pain at the gore, but sees they're deadlier with bows than their horns. He is about to slash at the creature when he feels the arrows in his back. "Raaahhh!!!" He whips around in anger and charges into the kobolds, ignoring the archers behind him.
Oh s#!%. Don't worry about us here Amaya, take care of what you need to. I'm glad you're ok.
GM when I rewrite my new combat post do you want me to keep the dice from my previous post or roll new ones? I'm obviously biased but I'd love that sick crit to land.
Aviz tries to slash the creature as he stands but finds himself too close and his blade falls short. He snarls in pain at the gore, but sees they're deadlier with bows than their horns. He steps away from the one next to him and slashes again, trying to take the head off the archer!
Aviz darts forward, bringing his fauchard high into the air. When he reaches the archers he brings his weapon up and tries to hook one of them to bring him to the ground!
Excellent. Combat post coming up.
How high up in the trees are they? Would we be able to get them with a reach weapon?
This is madness. "I suppose the violent creatures we're trying to talk to is better than the violent creatures we can't talk to."
Aviz puts a tree between himself and the source of the arrows. "What's the plan? I don't know what they're saying, do you think the kobolds sent us here just to get attacked by these creatures?"
Aviz warily broadens his stance as Amaya's words tell him of the threats in the area.
If the magic types didn't seem bothered by it, neither was Aviz. He leads on.
Aviz grabs some rocks, big enough to have an impact but small enough that he can throw them, and makes his way to the top of the cliff. "Stand clear!" He shouts. He starts lobbing the rocks into the trap, trying to set it off.
"Just set off the trap and let it fall safely." Aviz suggests.
Aviz searches the area.
Borr wouldn't last two minutes in a fight. "Thank you for the help. Well time is of the essence, let's get out into the wilderness. We want to scout as much as he can before getting to the meeting."
Aviz takes a look at the arrow, frowning. "Well they are intelligent, whoever they are. Little as well. High in numbers? Were there many arrows?" |
