"Time to disappear then, good luck everyone," I say before also slipping up towards the boathouse door, hopefully unseen.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36


Liandra lurks in shadows of the house across from the boathouse. Galadar is pressed up against the wall of the boathouse.

"They .. are very, very good," says Targas surprised. He then closes his mouth tight, afraid that, even at a distance, he has made more noise than they did.

Is Eria joining Liandra by the house across or Galadar by the door?


Female Halfling Cleric 5

Someplace she can get a view of the water and the seaweed if possible

Eria can position herself close to the shore. That will separate her from the rest of the party.


Female Halfling Cleric 5

Eria makes her way towards the shore.

I draw my weapons, listening carefully for signs of hobgoblins, and wait for Amanda to make her approach.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24


"Well, Targas, what will you do?

In the guise of the dead hobgoblin and keeping at least one row of houses between herself and the boathouse, Amanda will work herself down to the street that passes the boathouse. Her intent is to be three or four houses down from the boathouse on the side opposite Galadar's hiding spot when she becomes visible.

Stealth 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 plus whatever the cover of the houses provides, of course

As she approaches the street, she begins to stagger a little, making exaggerated motions, shushing a companion that cannot be seen i.e., if Targas followed her, she's not shushing him, but an imaginary drinking buddy, if you will, and giggling quietly.

She walks out of the gap between the houses in this manner, stopping in the middle of the street and looking around owlishly. Seeing the boathouse, she points to the doors, whispers to her unseen friend again, laughs out loud and starts toward the building in a weaving walk. Yeah, she's trying to play it up... If a hobgoblin appears at the door, she will make it about two more steps before falling to the street. Pushing herself up to a sitting position, she will stay there and laugh uproariously hoping to draw more out.

Bluff 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

That could have been better...


Targas looks a little uncomfortable at Amanda's suggestion he sneak up with them. He looks at his big boots and large hands and says, "I'm not much of one for sneaking about. I'll wait until the fur starts flying and come in heavy."


The door opens an inch, then a little wider. The flattened grey face and sharp eyes of a hobgoblin peer out.

He shouts something in goblin in a disgusted voice.


As planned, Amanda falls to the ground at the appearance of her "fellow" goblin. At his shout, she claps her hands and whispers behind her hand to no one and then looks back at the hobgoblin, raptly waiting to see what he does next.

The hobgoblin grumbles a bit then slips his sword off his belt but keeps it in its sheath. He steps out into the street and raises the sheathed sword over his head.


Still sitting in the street, the "hobgoblin" grins widely and raises both hands in surrender.

The hobgoblin brings the sheathed sword down hard on Amanda's arm.

1 point of nonlethal damage.

Eria? Or Amanda? I assume it's Amanda -- how close to the boathouse is she? (I intended to keep some distance, but I see I edited that out of the post and forgot to put it back. Oh, well.


I though Amanda was in the street in front of the boathouse (within a move action). We'll wait to see what the others do.


Female Halfling Cleric 5

Seeing the Hobgoblin cme out of the boathouse Eria begins to cast a spell. (Casting entangle and trying to aim it so the spell will get into the boathouse but avoid the boats for th most part.) Once cast she heads towards the boathouse

Is the back of the boathouse open or enclosed


Male Human Ranger 6(favoured Class)

Ewald stayed low his body pressed to the roof watching for his comrades to move into position..as the door opened he tried to rise silently but his foot dislodged a tile that clattered across its fellows like a runaway wagon. Cursing he fired two quick shots at the hobgoblin in the doorway both arrows thudding home within a fingers breath of each other Ha eat that Russel Crowe

The back of the boathouse is open but over the water. Is Eria willing to swim? The hobgoblin came out the door on the front.


Female Halfling Cleric 5

After casting the spell Eria heads for the front door.


The hobgoblin in the street takes two shafts in his chest. He looks angrily at his fellow hobgoblin and then looks up, surprised, and then down again. It only takes him another second to realize he's been ambushed. He turns and begins to shout.

Noises are already exploding from inside as seaweed begins to climb the supporting poles and invade the boathouse.


As the hobgoblin begins sprouting shafts of feathered wood (nice shooting there, sir!), the drunken hobgoblin seems to panic, jumping to his feet and looking around for the shooter.

Bluff 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

In her "desperate" looks around for an enemy, can Amanda see into the boathouse? She does have darkvision, if that helps matters.

Amanda sees three hobgoblins inside beginning to panic. Their attention has been drawn to the mass of seaweed invading the boathouse, which, although it is far from them, concerns them greatly. They are not looking at the street.

The hobgoblin in the street is still alive. Any more people want to take actions before this surprise round is over? Anyone who has not acted can act. Also, roll for initiative for round 1.


Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16


Are either Galadar or Liandra acting in the surprise round?


Male Human Ranger 6(favoured Class)

Initiative1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Can Liandra see inside?


Liandra Nightwind wrote:

Not as clearly as Amanda as Liandra is further away. Liandra can see one hobgoblin.


Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2

Liandra sends a crossbow bolt streaking through the door towards one of the hobgoblins

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
1d10 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (9) + 1 + (3, 2) = 15

Sorry for the delay.

I move swiftly behind the hobgoblin, a kukri at the ready.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Sneak Attack Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6) = 11


The hobgoblin in the street is no longer surprised. He begins to turn on Galadar but he's not nearly as fast.

I rolled the initiatives I didn't see:
Round 1:
Liandra (27)
Galadar (21)
Eria (18)
Amanda (16)
Hobgoblins (13)
Ewald (6)


Female Halfling Cleric 5

Eria heads into the doorway and takes a shot at the nearest Hobgoblin (assuming she has enough actions to do so)

Attack

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Damage

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Rogue 6

Is the hobgoblin still standing then? If so I attack again, this time with both of my kukris.

Kukri 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Kukri 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Damage 1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage 2: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Sneak Attack 1: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 7
Sneak Attack 2: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1) = 7

Galadar's kukris finish the job Ewald's arrows started. The ambushed hobgoblin falls dead in the street.


Tarren:

Spoiler:
What is the distance from Amanda to the hobgoblins in the boathouse? She would like to cast Deep Slumber, but it has a range of 40' and takes a round to cast, so she cannot move and cast in the same round...


F Human Rogue 5

With alarming speed Liandra rachets another bolt and fires at the same hobgoblin inside

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
1d10 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (2, 5) = 10

On my next turn, I plan on entering into the boathouse and then moving out of the doorway, either left or right, as I take stock of the room's setup.


Amanda steps 5' toward the boathouse door and begins casting Deep Slumber (40' range, 10' burst, up to 10 HD of targets, Will DC 17 negates, SR yes).

Of course, you do ... I hope you believe that the action below was planned before you said that.

Two hobgoblins slide to the ground, asleep. One rushes toward the and pulls it shut.

The door is not barred from the inside yet. We'll make this an opposed strength check for Galadar, as he's closest. Amanda can aid another if she wants.


Female Halfling Cleric 5

Just wondering if Eria shot at the goblins or not?

CRAP!

Eria hit the same hobgoblin that Liandra hit ... the only one not slumbering on the floor. This hasn't proven much of a challenge to you lot.


Targas, who had been hanging back for fear he would make too much noise, joins the party in the street near the doors.

Indeed she does. She will wave Targas over as well, knowing he's going to be more help than she will.

Aid Another for opposed Strength roll 1d20 ⇒ 10

Male Human Rogue 6

Strength check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

I slam into the door somewhat tepidly.

"ooph"


The hobgoblin manages to keep the door shut.


I rolled the initiatives I didn't see:
Round 1:
Liandra (27)
Galadar (21)
Eria (18)
Amanda (16)
Hobgoblins (13)
Targas (8)
Ewald (6)

Ewald still has a turn from last round, but I'm not sure how he could help from the roof. I'll wait to see if Liandra or Eria can do anything before the door is barred shut.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Rogue 6

Just out of curiosity, what sort of roof does the building have?

Second Strength Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

edit: obviously knocking in doors is not my specialty
