No, but six of the arrows are masterwork.

Any chance the nice winter cloaks are small sized?

As a matter of fact, one of the capes is small sized, and what's more, when Hella unfolds it, she comes across a small lump, which turns out to be a small pearl sewn into the lining.


Female Halfling Rogue 2

Pulling out her jewelers circle, she inspects the pearl. "We seem to have come across a small treasure."

Deciding to finish her examination of the pearl in better light, Hella puts the pearl away for safe keeping.

"This would look much better on you. I must insist. It is a perfect fit I suspect," she says, offering the fine cape to Roylenna.


Male Human (Alryan) Cleric 3

"Shall we ensure there are no more secret doors leading from this place?" Proteus asks as he begins to look around the room for any other secret doors.

"Oh, thank you! You are too kind - it's a shame there aren't two for us, though." Roylenna will use Prestidigitation and Mending as necessary to clean/repair any of the cloaks that are claimed.


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

After searching all the rooms you find nothing more of interest. Two doors remain to explore on this level. Do you want to try one of them or do you want to go back up?


Male Human (Alryan) Cleric 3

I say we keep on.


Absolutely.


Female Halfling Rogue 2

After returning to the hallway with the six doors that were ajar, Hella will search the unopened door at the end of the hall. If safe to open, she will.


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

Yes, the door is safe to open. The trouble begins afterwards. Roll for initiative.

The room behind the room is rather large (20 feet wide and 50 feet long) and the walls are coated in (peeling) purple paint. There is a door opposite and two small alcoves to the left.

Five goblins glare angrily at you.


"Oh! Excuse me! This... isn't the lavatory, is it?"

Initiative (1d20+4=19)


Female Human Barbarian 7

Ka'kara just smiles back......Initiative (1d20=9)


Female Halfling Rogue 2

"Oh...!" exclaims Hella, frozen in indecision.

Initiative: (1d20+4=12)

New map.

Initiative (1d20+3=12)

What sort of gear to they carry? Missile weapons or only melee? Any look like a possible spellcaster?


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

There is no obvious spellcaster. The goblins are wearing studded leather armor and carrying javelins and a morningstar, except one who has a crossbow. The goblins go at 19, so Proteus and Sandros are up first.


Going to wait to see what Proteus does before I post. Out of curiosity though, which one has the crossbow?

That would be the one in 0906.


Male Human (Alryan) Cleric 3

Alright, let's take a page out of Royl's playbook.

Proteus moves forward to 0803 and pulls out several rations. He opens one, takes a bite, throws them out to the goblins. "Information is all we want."

Sandros is up. Do you want to see how the goblins react before doing something?


No, in general terms I plan to step up next to Proteus and ready an action to attack any that close with him. The problem is, he put himself on the far side of the goblins, which I don't think he meant to do, and I want to verify where he is before I get more specific...

oops. I meant 0813

Thought that was the case, but I wanted to make sure.

Sandros steps to the front of the group, taking a defensive posture as he waits to see how the goblins rect to Proteus' overture.

Move to 0712, ready an action to attack the first one that enters Sandros' threatened space with apparent hostile intent toward him or his allies.


Female Halfling Rogue 2

How do you think they would react to Hella screaming, in Goblin, "Food Fight!"


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

There is a moment of silence as the goblins stare at Proteus. Then one of them apparently decides to find it an insult and hurls a javelin at him. The other three follow his cue and hurl theirs at Sandros, who is hit once for 2 points. The fifth goblin (the one with the crossbow) draws his morningstar and moves in for the kill, but Sandros easily blocks his clumsy attempt.

Goblins move to 0609, 0909 and 0811. The two closest ones stay where they are for now.

Sandros gets a stab, then Hella, Roylenna, Ka'kara and Proteus.


ABRASHAK: Do you bite your food, sir?
SAMPLIERK: I do bite my food, sir!
ABRASHAK: Do you bite your food at us, sir?
SAMPLIERK: (aside to GROSHNARK): Ay?
GROSHNARK: No.
SAMPLIERK: No sir, I do not bite my food at you, sir, but I bite my food, sir.

--from Romiorl and Julesk


Thrown off by the javelin as it catches his arm, Sandros' attack has none of its usual grace, and tears a bit of his own coat as it flicks downward.

Readied rapier attack (1d20+7=8, 1d6+2=6)


Female Halfling Rogue 2

Hella takes a shot at the closest goblin (0811), saying in Goblin, "Should have taken the peace offering, silly Goblins!"

Crossbow:, Damage: (1d20+5,1d6=[12, 5], [6])

Weird, I think that means I hit a 17 and did 6 damage.

And then Hella withdraws to 0715.

It adds in the bonuses for you, so it means you got hit AC 12. And, I updated the map.

EDIT: Actually, after looking at it, I think you are right, Hella. That should be AC 17 with 6 points of damage.


Proteus wrote:

Actually, I think JK's right. That's what it looks like, JK, when you type a comma instead of a semicolon in the dice field. So the 12 is the d20 roll, the 5 is the +5, and the 6 is the damage roll.


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

Yes, but with the -4 penalty for firing into melee it's still just a 13.

Hella is careful not to hit Sandros, but unfortunately her bolt bounces off the goblin's armor. He shouts something in Goblin.

Spoiler:
"Hey, you fools, that was a peace offering."


Female Halfling Sorcerer (celestial)

Considering the party's positions, Roylenna will delay her action.


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

Ka'kara and Proteus, then.


Female Human Barbarian 7

Ka'kara rolls her eyes and just says in exasperation, "Goblins". She slides behind Sandros to leave him his opponent and charges while beginning to drop into her battle lust up to 0610.

Raging overhand chop (1d20+8=12, 2d6+12=16) and probably misses....


Male Human (Alryan) Cleric 3

Seeing Ka'kara place herself away from the rest of the party, Proteus quickly decides to fill in some of the gap behind her. He casts Shield of Faith and suddenly a shimmering field appears beside him making his AC 16 currently. He then moves forward to 0711.

I am assuming the goblin in 0811 will get an AoO as I move through 0712. Also, new map here.


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

Ka'kara and Proteus enter the fray, Ka'kara's greatsword bouncing off the goblin's armor.

Roylenna is up, then the goblins.

Roylenna will attack the goblin in 0811 with her Heavenly Fire.

Heavenly Fire with melee penalty (1d20+1=3, 1d6+1=3)

Well, at least it wasn't close enough that the lack of Precise Shot was a cause.


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

The goblins move in for the kill (to 0709, 0710 and 0810). Two attack Ka'kara, two attack Proteus and the last one goes for Sandros again.

Ka'kara and Sandros have no trouble fending off the puny goblins, but Proteus takes a severe blow to the abdomen for 5 points of damage (on a crit, tsk).

Sandros, Hella, Ka'kara, Proteus and Roylenna, preferably in something like that order.


Sandros attacks his assailant who I assume is the one in 0811 with a strike much more in keeping with his usual technique.

Rapier attack (1d20+7=24, damage 1d6+2=7)

If that drops the goblin:

Spoiler:
He then proceeds to leap and dodge his way toward the rear of their attackers, looking to provide a distraction.
Acrobatics to move to 0809, with a -5 penalty for going further than 15 ft.

If it doesn't:

Spoiler:
He then proceeds to try to begin circling his attacker in hopes of finding an opening.
Acrobatics to 0911.

Regardless:
Acrobatics (1d20+9=27, or 22 with a -5 penalty)


Female Halfling Rogue 2

Upon seeing the brutal strike to Proteus, Hella removes her hand from her dagger, reconsidering any sort of foolhardy display of bravery, and takes another shot with her crossbow(0811):

Crossbow Attack (with -4 melee penalty): Crossbow attack (with melee penalty): (1d20+1=19)

Damage: 1d6=6

You're not implying that Proteus was foolhardy, are you? ;)


Female Halfling Rogue 2

No more than any other tallfolk... and perhaps even a little less than our friend Ka'Kara.


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

Sandros gives the goblin an elegant stab, but it does not succumb, so he ducks and weaves his way to 0911 to set up a flank with Proteus. But right then Hella drops it with a crossbow bolt.

Ka'kara, Proteus and Roylenna to go.

Okay, that works too!


Female Human Barbarian 7

Getting angier at the fact that this goblin has the nerve to still be standing Ka'kara strikes at it again. (1d20+8=28, 2d6+12=21) OMG!Crit Confirm (1d20+8=20, 2d6+12=18) HOLY, That's 39 points of damage! I can't wait to see how BT descibes this one :)


Male Human (mostly) Ex-cleric and Grumpy Cat

Ka'kara works up her fury and cleaves the goblin neatly in twain from the head to the groin, armor notwithstanding.

Three goblins left. Proteus and Roylenna are up.


Male Human (Alryan) Cleric 3

As Ka'kara pulls back with her greatsword in an effort to split the skull of the enemy in front of her, she nearly hits Proteus, who has to duck quickly to avoid a very unfortunate incident. As Proteus is obviously not experienced in fighting in close melee, he is slightly unnerved. He tries to maintain the offensive and takes a wild, off balanced swing at his own foe, missing horribly.

I don't believe Proteus is where he can reach a foe since the one between he and Sandros is down. Did he move? Assuming he's not standing in front of Roylenna now:

Roylenna moves forward to 0813 and aims her ray at the goblin directly ahead of her in 0809. Heavenly Fire (1d20+5=17, 1d6+1=4)
