Dobin, hearing a pained moan from Amhall, helps the poor warrior to the back. He gently sets him down out of the way and moves to help the dwarf with the door. "Ok, you open the door and I will rush out and hopefully take anything in the hallway by surprise." As the door opens, Dobin quietly moves through and searches the dark for signs of an enemy.
Dobin moves to where the hidden door is being examined by the dwarf. "Can you get that thing open? Maybe they do not know it exists and we can try to escape out the back...or at least find a better place to defend!" He motions to the others to move back and then helps to drag Amhal's body to the back of the cave.
Yup...sounds about right :-)
Dobin shows the hoard that was discovered and hands the arrows to Ralina. "Here...you can probably determine their nature better than I ever could. There is also this scroll and potion. They would probably be best served with the more arcane or divine of our group!" The remaining items Dobin wraps back up and places in his backpack.
Dobin kneels down and opens the bag to see what is actually in it. "Anything that might help us is welcome!"
"Oh great...another way for the little blighters to get in!" Dobin moves over to see the secret door the dwarf found.
Dobin helps the dwarf move trash to help block the entrance ways. "Let's hope our killing of their champion will keep them away for at least tonight!"
Dobin sticks his head into the cave. "So were staying? Well let's get these openings covered up!"
"Retreat...if we are not too late and hope the goblins do not follow us out of the ravine!"
Dobin moves to swap positions with Dru.
Dobin keep a watch on the others and the other cave opens as they search the ogre's cave. "We really need to find someplace to hole up before it gets too dark."
Dobin moves over to the Ogre's lair and gets ready to move in once Ralina moves in.
Once the creature falls, Dobin walks up and takes out his frustration and anger by beating the corpse with his club. He steps back, breathing heavy and looks sheepishly at Ralina as she moves forward to search the corpse. "Sorry about that..." He moves on to watch the cave entrance as the others examine what is in the beast's lair.
Dobin again swings his club at the hulking humanoid! Attack:
no movement
Dobin again tries to strike the ogre with his club...wishing for the hundredth time he had not lost his old equipment! Attack:
Dropping his crossbow, Dobin hefts his club and swings at the advancing ogre. Assuming he survives the creature's retaliation, he will pull his shield up and attack the brute again. Attack:
Well not wishing to hit one of his allies with the bolt, Dobin will drop the crossbow and ready the other weapons. From what you have said he should still get an attack this round against the ogre so I will go ahead and do that...it will be next round that he will have his shield readied for defense.
Backing out of the cave, Dobin hooks his shield and club while swapping them for the borrowed crossbow. He keeps most of his focus on the cave he is in...fearing the goblins will try to catch them between their two forces.
Dobin moves up as the others take over his job of watching the other caves. "OK, so do we want to enter the cave, in which case I will switch from my crossbow to club, or fortify this location?"
Dobin still keeps an eye on the other opening into the vale...as he feels that those goblins must have something up and perhaps they are trying to sneak up on the group from another cave...
Dobin will continue to watch to ensure nothing sneaks up on them. He watches the ravine for anyone trying to sneak up on them.
With his borrowed crossbow at the ready, Dobin quickly back out of the cave and takes up a position to fire at whatever might be chasing them out.
LOL...thanks..ok, so he will move in behind the others as they enter the cavern...
I did not see where Dobin was located, but if no one else is moving forward, he will move slowly into the opening of the cave then to the south passage.
Dobin will take the crossbow and can hand off his shield to Dru if she wants it. He will then get into position to be able to fire into the cavern opening...hopefully not hitting any of his companions.
Dobin is also ready to move out
Dobin seems to stand a little taller as he replies. "I fought with the 4th division Board Guards up Halv way. I was with them for 4 years before I took my leave to become an independent...and have been wondering why ever since!" He gives a short grunt, that could either be a laugh or simply a gesture of the fighter's current predicament.
"Its nice to have you onboard Amhal. Another warrior should help even out some of the difficulties we have been encountering. So tell me...where did you learn your craft?"
"Welcome. I am Dobin Cur, mercenary warrior...or I was. We have not been having the greatest of luck so far, but here to new starts and, hopefully, better luck!" The once proud fighter cannot help but look somewhat beaten and knocked around.
Dobin tries on the leather armour, and with a few minor adjustments, it's fit is near perfect. "Thank you for this. I will repay it once we begin to recover and can cash in on some bounty or another." Later, in the taproom, Dobin looks over the warrior at the end of the room. "He looks like a strong arm...another warrior would not be so bad!"
Dobin looks over their "loot" and pulls out the gambeson. "Well I have my club and shield, but no actual armour. Perhaps we can get this altered to fit me, or if it is not too expensive, purchase a suit of leather armour. The javelins I could also use."
Rest and healing for Dobin...and if we have the cash...new armor and weapons!!
Dobin feeling guilty finally voices his concerns. "I am not getting any better. I need to get bed rest and maybe a visit to the local barber for some stitching...or I might not make it to find these bandits. I am sorry.." He leans heavily against a tree and lets out a deep breath.
Dobin curses under his breath as they are once again stopped by nature. "Wish we had some sort of ranger or forester here to help us!" He turns back the way they had just travelled and starts to forage for usable firewood. He tried to keep his senses tuned to the woods like he had been told by an old soldier he once campaigned with, but he had no idea what he was listening for and soon gave up in frustration. "I will take first watch again tonight if that is ok. I am hoping some rest might help these wounds heal!"
"I agree..let's keep after the bandits. The last thing I want to fight is some other monster that is even bigger and meaner than the lizardmen!" Dobin follows the others as they continue to track the bandits.
What are the rules for natural healing? Does Dobin regain any HP over the night??
Dobin helps as much as his wounds will allow him, and sighs in relief when Ralina helps to re-bind them and clean the wounds at the end of the day. "My thanks to you for the help. I hope with a good nights sleep I will be closer to my old self and can assist more in our hunt for the bandits!" Dobin sets himself for the first watch of the night, and if all goes well, wakes Ralina next.
Seasons Happiness to all and hope you all have a great time with family and friends.
"Thank the gods! Solid ground again. I was beginning to think we would never be free of that grasping mud and fetid water."
"We cannot return empty-handed again and with losses! Unfortunately, we need to get back to them with some answers. I say we go forward and see if we cannot avenge ourselves on these bandits!"
Looking up from the graves he was digging, Dobin shakes his head. "Well I can tell you it was not in this swamp! Let's get out of here and move to a dryer area where we might be able to get our bearings and decide what to do next!"
Dobin scouts around for someplace that they can bury their comrades safely, so no swamp creatures will dig them up and desecrate their bodies. Once found, he will begin digging the graves using Al'Lan's shield as a shovel. If no place is suitable, he will suggest burning the bodies.
"Glad you made it back to us Regnar. Sorry we could not have come looking for you, but this land is deadly. I am not sure a small group like ours can succeed against the overwhelming forces out here...well not with a wooden club and shield!" He laughs mirthlessly at the poor joke but still steps forward to give their newly found ally a quick hug and slap on the back.
Dobin dropped to his knees once the threat had moved away. The lizardmen almost had him, but he survived. He got up and moved with Ralina, finding the other two bodies. He dragged them over to the fire so nothing else could get at them. He finally sat and looked towards the two women. "My thanks. That was quick thinking scaring them away like that! Took a stab to the flank, but it should be OK if we can clear this swamp."
Dobin slowly give way, moving back towards the light, hoping someone can see him and come to his aid. He strikes back at one of the creatures attacking him as he moves. attack:
