Db3's All Hallow's Eve Game

[Lashara]

"What is it you mother wants us to get?"

w00t new page!

[Sehkola]

"Yes, can you tell us what it is? We are already retrieving one 'thing' they stole; one more should not be a problem, I would think."

[Kora Oaks]

Kora kept her distance from the child as the others discussed matters with her, her arms crossed. All the talk about what she might be had made her paranoid. She still thought she was just a crazy girl with a crazy mother living so close to danger, but still...

[Dragonborn3]

"She would like you to get a smal, black box about 2ft. long and 1ft wide. She also asks that you do not look in the box. Come on the goblins went this way!

She turns and starts head northwest, skipping as she goes.

::I'm really suprised no one has asked what race this little girl is::

Well, I think we all assumed she was human; especially with a name like Sylvia. I guess if she isn't, then that would be good information to have ...

[Dragonborn3]

Your were close, she's half-elven.

[Gavrin Bighit Norbera]

follows girl

[Lashara]

Being careful, follows Sylvia

[Sehkola]

"What a strange situation." thinks Sehkola, then also begins following the girl, his spear at the ready.

[Dragonborn3]

Sylvia leads you through a winding path in the islands forest, until she stops at the mouth of a cave.

" The goblins took him this way, he didn't look to good he had a big bump on his head, I hope you can find him soon. Don't tell the goblins I helped you, they might not let us stay on this island peacefully, and that wouldn't be good for them...

With that said, she turns and runs into the forest moving much quicker than she had leading you. In a moment you can't even hear her moving through the forest.

What do you do?

[Lashara]

speaking slowly:

"Why would it be bad for the goblins? turning to the group, "What do we do now? That cave is... dark."

[Kora Oaks]

Kora's face twisted in confusion at the girl's words and swift departure.

"What the hell?" she said faintly, watching the girl leave.

Lashara's voice prompted her to turn around and peer into the cave. She pulled a torch out, but held off on lighting it for fear of giving their presence away too soon.

Perception: 20 (15+5)

[Dragonborn3]

You think you can hear something coming from the the cave, but you aren't sure.

[Gavrin Bighit Norbera]

speaking quietly Well we can try and sneak in, I'll be the first to admit I'm not that sneaky, or we can rush in weapons drawn and hope to god that they aren't well organized and trapped. This is goblins after all, not kobolds, I'd be a lot more worried if they were kobolds. Anywho, anyone here good at range? I'll lead with a torch and you can hang back and pick off goblins at a distance, it'll also give us someone to get us out of a pit trap. Just make sure you always keep in sight of the torch.

"Yes, I can pick them off with my bolts of lightning."

[Gavrin Bighit Norbera]

Sounds like a plan. Anyone else got a better idea?

Shekola, do you feel comfortable sticking to the darkness and firing into the torchlight?

[Sehkola]

Sehkola looks at the cave, trying to ascertain how stable it is. "I am always uncomfortable underground. If the gods had wanted us to burrow, they would have given us claws. After that, shooting into torchlight makes no difference to me."

He looks again, and seems visibly nervous at the thought of entering the cave. "Is there perhaps any way to lure them out here? After all, the cave is their land; we would be at a disadvantage."

Not to dismiss your fears, but we've been in "their lands" since we came on this island. we have been at a disadvantage from the very begining, but at least charging in we may have surprise on our side, if we draw them out then for all we know they come out of side tunnels and stab at us from behind.

[Abraham spalding]

" Just be sure not to light up the boy... in shadowy light it maybe hard to tell them apart. " Elijah readies his maul, and keeps on detecting evil.

[Dragonborn3]

There are indeed faint traces of evil in the cave.
You hear whispering (yes whispering but you can still hear it)
"Hehe, so the wife sent for her boy eh? Well if you want him you'll have to come and get!"

You hear the sound of several small feet running deeper into the cave.

[Kora Oaks]

"So much for surprise." Kora spat. She pulled out her two spare torches, offering them to anyone that wanted them.

[Lashara]

"I won't need a torch, but thank you anyway."

Casts light on her armor and necklace

"If everyone is ready, I'm set. Let's go get that child back."

You can see that this new confidence is just to cover up her growing fear.

[Gavrin Bighit Norbera]

Am I the only one who's quite happy in caves?
heads into the cave staying within Leshara's light

in case it's needed
::Initiative d20+2=8::

[Sehkola]

"I believe you are." Sehkola follows Gavrin into the cave.

[Dragonborn3]

So ever one's going in?

You travel through the cave system for a few hours tripping, and slipping on loose rocks and moss. After a while you start to hear voices in the tunnel a head. "Wait, did you hear something?"
"Nah you just hearing things, go back to your post."

It woul seem the goblins didn't hear your approach. When you look into the rooms you can see the goblins are indeed at their 'posts' playing a game of dice. What do you do?

[Kora Oaks]

Kora turns to the others and drew her finger across her throat and shrugging questioningly, wondering if they wanted to kill the guards quietly or try to sneak past.

[Sehkola]

How many goblins are we talking about here?

[Gavrin Bighit Norbera]

Only goblins would be aware of enemies coming into the cave, and then not notice the light and disregard the noise one hears. Wow, they would be pitiable if they weren't so nasty.

[Abraham spalding]

I'm a paladin with nil dex, walking around in a breast plate I think sneaking past isn't going to work.

:: DETECT EVIL! ::

The idea of doing this, so constantly is to make sure we aren't tricked into randomly attacking something that isn't what we think it is.

[Dragonborn3]

Sehkola wrote:

3. They are evil.

[Gavrin Bighit Norbera]

How far away are they? can I reasonably close with them in a single round?

I say we stick to our original plan three of us charge them, and try to kill them quickly enough to prevent warning the others, Shekola you hang back and blast however is still standing after we charge.

[Abraham spalding]

I'm ok with charging in. :: gets ready to add up the pretty pretty damage from his earthbreaker. ::

"Yes, I can do that."

[Abraham spalding]

So ah, Initiative time?

[lastknightleft]

Abraham spalding wrote:

I'm still waiting to find out if we can even get to them in a round, if not then we need to go balls to the walls ranged sniping and hope we kill them all, but as a better melee-er than ranged attacker, I'd prefer to do it charging in style.

[Dragonborn3]

They are 25ft. away and you can move at twice your normal speed on a charge.
So go for it!

[Dragonborn3]

Please try to post Gavrin's sheet soon.

[Sehkola]

initiative (1d20+6=18)

[Lashara]

Init: 14=d20(12)+2

"Let's do this..."

readies her fire bolt.

:: d20 (16) + 0 = 16 ::

[Kora Oaks]

Initiative: 17 (14+3)

[Dragonborn3]

Okay I go last so the Init oreder is:

1: Gavrin
2: Sehkola
3: Kora
4: Elijah
5: Lashra
6: Goblins

Gavrin what are you doing?

[Gavrin Bighit Norbera]

Leading the charge ::charge attack d20+5=14 vs flat footed AC::
My AC will be 13 for the round, picture the running punch from the burn notice commercials, that's what he is punching like
::damage d4+2=6:: Noice :), hope I hit

Gavrin looks around to see what general stuff is lying around to be used if necessary, anything from coins to chairs to bones etc.

[Sehkola]

Sehkola lets loose with an electrical blast at the closest goblin not being attacked by Gavrin (i.e. I don't wanna fire into melee).

ranged touch +2, damage (1d20+2=19, 1d6=5)

Ok, that should have hit no problem ...

[Dragonborn3]

You both hit.

There are a few chairs and dice on the table.

[lastknightleft]

did either goblin go down?

[Dragonborn3]

No.

Did we get a suprise round in?

[Dragonborn3]

I completely forgot! I apoligize, just go in the init order and after the suprise round you start over.
