I'd be up for that too if we can find one.

Hmm, hadn't realized quite how long it had been. I'm also still here and checking. Lots of games shut it down from just before Christmas till this week though so hopefully we'll see him pop back in this week.

Red casts light on her crossbow and begins moving toward the sound of chanting.
Will skirt the wall and move past Barrakhan to the east. If she sees someone, she will stop.

Ya and hopefully an AoO for you and Barrakhan if it decides to get up.

"Oh, I'm glad that didn't hit you Martina. That would have been painful! I'm going to try to knock him down to make him easier for you and Barrakhan to hit. Don't walk in any of the slippery parts." Gesturing quickly, Red flicks a bit of butter from her pouch onto the floor by the creature.
Casts grease (DC 16 Reflex). Map isn't working for me right now, but I'll try to leave two or three corners for Martina and Barrakhan to be able to get to him (without crossing through it themselves). Will put some on a wall if necessary.

Yes, join me!

No worries. We'll entertain ourselves getting lost in tv tropes and speculating about Martina and her obsession with the little people. I'm just glad it wasn't a naked first impression.

"I guess the goblins aren't snacking right now. On to that door?"

Red casts light on a crossbow bolt and loads it into her crossbow. She whispers, "See anything Barrakhan?"

"South works. Are we ready to proceed?"
Sorry Barrakhan, I'm also for taking our chances and digging him out later.

Spells: 0-acid splash, detect magic, light, message; 1-grease, snowball (although there is a pretty good chance I'll be converting the 1st level spells over into cure light wounds until we can afford a wand of CLW).
"Well, which will it be? Hopefully there is some way back around to him, but if you want to dig him out now I'll help. Won't we be kicking ourselves though if we find him behind the next door."

Gaius, you ok treated us as rested or should we retreat to town for that rest?

Red rolls her eyes, but holds her tongue.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm nearly spent. Should we search this room and withdraw for rest and supplies?"
Take 20 for 22 if everyone is ok taking the time to do so.

Red loads another crossbow bolt, but waits for those up close to see if they are able to finish the rider.

Even though she's prejudiced against the small folk...go Martina!

"These little devils are awfully quick. Maybe a little to the left..." Red fires another crossbow bolt at the goblin rider. "Damn, now he moved the other way!"
Attack (crossbow): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 4 = 4
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Finally with a goblin in sight and a crossbow in hand, Red levels it and takes a shot at the goblin engaged with Barrakhan. She quickly reloads her crossbow.
Attack (crossbow): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 4 = 9
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

I think the rider goes before Red acts again.

"I'm out of healing Rilka, but I'll try to get him out of here."

Red loads her crossbow and moves next to Barrakhan looking for a target. That's a move and a move.

"Barrakhan, you'd better get in there. You're the only one that can see those damn things."
You can have Red cast light on one of her crossbow bolts and move into the room once Barrakhan moves in. She'll hug the wall to the left.

Stick with it and we'll all pretend its just a snazzy blue and gold coat of one of the Taldan houses.

Planned action remains the same. I'm going to delay until after Barrakhan and then determine what to do.
Free action:
"That sounded like someone trying to attack Martina! What's going on in there?"

Red will delay until Barrakhan enters the room, then she will follow.

Heads up that I may not be able to post again until Monday or Tuesday so please GMPC or PCPC if needed to keep the action flowing. I have a very full day of business travel tomorrow followed by a Con where I have heavy GM duties on Fri-Sat-Sun. Monday will be catching up on work and hopefully most PbPs, but I should be fully caught up by Tuesday.

"That's one way to handle it. There's probably another way back to your horse Martina. Let's go find it." When its her turn to duck or crawl, Red moves into the tunnel without further comment.

"Well, I think the example Master Farabellus used was one of those Ulfens, but sure, you're definitely tougher than the rest of us Martina." She looks as thoughtful as she can in the dark then after Rilka speaks she adds, "Of course, I recall Master Farabellus saying something about only if you couldn't find another way. Maybe before you try going through Rilka, we should see if there is another way."

Ha, I think its only OOC Barrakhan :)

Red looks right back at Martina, then around at the rest. "The Ten did send us with someone who could disarm traps didn't they? Its a ruin. What did we hear in every class in Absalom? Ruins. Traps. Right?" She stops and thinks for a moment. "Well. I do remember one of Master Farabellus's lessons. If you ever find a trap and no one can handle it, send the big strong fighter. Martina, you're up."

Oh yes, its good fun!

"This does look like a trap, but one to do something back by the entrance to this room. Hard for me to tell for certain, but it might drop rubble that would trap us. Do you think any of you could disconnect it?"

"This whole place is probably a goblin nest, but wouldn't we kick ourselves later if this part was where the switch is? I vote we continue on."
But quite ok going with the group vote.

"Maybe. Let me have a closer look."
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Squishy. Put Red in the middle toward the back. Should probably have a rear guard for single file.

"I see it too. They might have something rigged up there to let them know if someone is coming. We'd best be careful with it."
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Red whispers back, "You know, I had really just assumed she was just overly protective, but you might be right. Now isn't the time, but maybe its time for a talk over some hot food tonight."
Red continues to follow along with Barrakhan.

"Unemployed barflies? She can speak for herself. I was sent here by Zarta herself." Red whispers to Jubal and Rilka. "I hope you're right that its just the goblins. Surely she couldn't have expected this would be easy though. Otherwise someone would have explored this ruin long ago." Red trails along behind Barrakhan, trusting to his guidance in the dark.

I've had it happen to me before too. Good to have you back.

"It is hard to believe. From what I've heard most goblins think that writing steals the words from your head, but of course as a Pathfinder, it is a critical skill. Still, I think you're right Jubal. It is good to know that such exceptional goblins would be welcomed by the Ten."

"I must admit, I think I heard tales in Absalom that they have even allowed a few to join the Society. But, whether products of their nature or environment, I think most of them are thoroughly and irredeemably evil. Search more it is. Which way do you think we should go Barrakhan? You're the only one that can see further than the length of your arm."

"You're probably right about that Martina. This darkness seems like the perfect place for those little pests. They can see right through it like you can't they Barrakhan? Should we keep going or see about those drinks? I'm feeling next to useless with what I have prepared."

Red moves up next to Martina and fires her crossbow twice into the area behind the now deceased goblin, hoping for a lucky hit.
Attack (Round 1): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Miss Chance (51+is good): 1d100 ⇒ 45
Attack (Round 2): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Miss Chance (51+is good): 1d100 ⇒ 39

"No problem Barrakan. I had it on your spear to begin with just so you could help show the rest of us where the goblins were. I'll switch it to my pouch." The light on the spear extinguishes and Red's pouch begins to glow.

I had put a light spell on Barrakhan's spear unless he'd rather be in darkness. If that's the case, I'll cast it on myself. I'm fine with the recommended position.

Red steps up and casts cure light wounds on Martina.
Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Converts 1st level slot

Honestly, I think Red is just going to keep delaying out here. She isn't a melee type so she's not going to be looking to push her way in (and she would provoke if she did). She can't see in the dark to target the goblin dog. No one seems to want to be enlarged (and we're in a pretty tight space). Snowball has a snowball's chance of landing and would be a waste of a precious 1st level spell. None of my cantrips are going to be helpful in this situation. I will heal Martina if she falls back or if I can swap with Jubal.

You'd be staggered with that Martina. Red probably doesn't know how badly you're hurt though because of the dark.

Rilla steps a little closer and pinches the bridge of her nose, concentrating hard until stars appear before her eyes. Then she reaches her hand out and lays it against Barrakhan.
Spend one arcane point to cast cure light wounds
Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Red narrows her eyes and tries to stare into the darkness. Unable to see the goblins within, she sings a brief incantation in halfling and a light suddenly envelopes Barrakhan's spear. "Perhaps this will help our eyes pierce the darkness while your weapon pierces the goblins Barrakhan."
Casts light

Red calls out, "The darkness. It is more than a normal spell. Keep drawing them out here if you can." The halfling hustles forward hoping to make herself of more use closer to the fight.
