Smoke chases after the goblin, recklessly advancing. "You're not getting away!" he calls after it, feet pounding on the glassworks floor.
Rogar gives chase to the goblin as it attempts to scramble away.
Giving chase will all his stubby legs can muster, he lowers his shoulder and tries to bulldoze through the green-skinned devil.
attack Rogar whiffs.
Don't let it get away Smoke! Cadas calls to the barbarian. I am right behind you.
Cadas again double moves to support Smoke, trusting her friends to handle the other goblin.
Glassworks and Goblins - round 5 - concluded
24 Goblins - Blue rising from prone
15 Robin
7 Rogar
5 Tinuviel
* Smoke - Shield of Faith in effect; delayed action prior round
* Cadas - delayed last round
As Blue Goblin rises from the floor, Rogar takes a swipe at him, but the dwarf is off balance enough that the shield never contacts the rising creature.
Once upright, Blue realizes the desperate plight he's in with enemies on both sides and chooses to stand and fight. He rushes at Rogar his blade waving. The surprise ferocity of the attack catches the dwarf momentarily unaware, but in that moment the blade slips from his shield, catching the dwarf in the arm disrupting his further attempts at a shield bash.
Robin however, does drop his bow with a clatter, draw his longsword, and stab at the goblin, catching it in the ribs and sinking his blade deep.
Tinuviel summons and thows another acid dart, but the missle sails past the goblin harmlessly.
On the other end of the room, Smoke plows into the double doors at the end of the long workshop and spies the fleeing goblin with his hand on the knob of another door. The creature stops and turns hissing at the barbarian menacingly.
With Smoke holding the door, Cadas is able to run through and close to melee range with the hissing Yellow Goblin
End of Round 5
Cadas stands with shield up and trident ready to strike at the goblin should he try to open the door and move away.
Tinuviel moves to where she can see, on top of the table.
Rogar swings away. His anger blinding him.
Attack
The swing is true though.
Damage
He then rushes forward 20 years.
I rush forward 20 feet, not years lol.
Glassworks and Goblins - Round 6
With the enemies number dwindled to 2, the party has split forces to deal with each one separately. The goblins act first:
24 Goblins - blue wounded
15 Robin
7 Rogar
5 Tinuviel
* Smoke
* Cadas
Blue Goblin continues his nothing-to-lose attacks on the dwarven ranger and gets another minor nick in against the shield-bearer. Rogar responds with a crushing blow against the Blue Goblin ending it's miserable existence.
Yellow Goblin, pursued and cornered, also turns and makes a ferocious lunge at Cadas who was ready for a shot if the goblin opened the door. The cut is strong and true, but the Shoanti priestess deflects it off her shield gracefully.
Seeing the near enemy fall, Robin dashes to see if his friends require any aid.
Tinuviel climbs the table looking for a better vantage point, but she can only see Smoke closing the door. She does notice the glass statuary in the center of the room (marked with an X) looks remarkably like a man.
Rogar moves forward another 20 feet drawing his last javelin as he charges. He stops and plants, able to see the goblin through the open door and tosses his javelin at the goblin as it desperately attempts to flee.
Attack
Confirm doesn't confirm
damage
Smoke looks confused at the javelin for a moment before turning back to Rogar. "Hey! Nice shot!" he boggles.
His attack is entirely secondary as he brings the hilt of the sword down across the goblin's face, intending to blow it away from him.
Instead, having fought so many goblins before in his time, he knows he's missed before the swing even resolves.
Check the discussion tab for my summary of your quotes, or check back through the thread. You are current, near as I can tell. I'll save your roll if needed for round 7 though, cuz that throw rocks!
Cadas strikes down at the goblin trying to end it.
Glassworks and Goblins - Round 6 - concluded
Smoke's attack on the remaining goblin misses the mark, but Cadas strikes true with her trident, spearing in the chest and ending the fight.
End of Combat
Cadas and Smoke find themselves in a small loading area with several doors coming off. To the east, a pair of double doors lead to the outside of the Glassworks. There are two single doors on the south wall, the westernmost with a streak of dried blood on the floor under it. The last door is on the northwest wall.
The room has a wheelbarrow leaning against the wall and sets of shelves with wooden containers with labels. A quick search of the labels shows the words: manganese or cobalt or tin on separate shelves. A floor safe stands open in the middle of the room.
Tinuviel climbs down from the table and heads over to view the statue marked with an X. To her horror, she finds it is not a statue at all, but a man covered with thick runny sheets of hardened glass. A closer look reveals that the man is none other than Lonjiku Kaijitsu, father of Ameiko and owner of the Sandpoint Glassworks.
"Looked like it was running with a purpose," Smoke says while staring at the old man's corpse. It made him mad-- this guy was a jerk, but he was a living jerk before the goblins got to him.
"Want to follow it down and see where it leads?"
Rogar walks through the glass hall giving it a look over.
Perception
He gather's his two javelin's and slides them back in his quiver.
Then he approaches the stairs Smoke was looking at peers down using his darkvision.
Perception
Those little cuts are adding up Rogar. Better met me attend to them.
"Thank you Cadas. The nicks and cuts were starting to add up."
"This. This is just wrong. If someone is behind this, we need to stop them as soon as possible." Boo looks sick.
Looking around at the glass-encased corpse of Kaijitsu, you can see that his hands are tied behind the chair. From the horror-stricken look on his face, it appears he was alive when the glass sheets were wrapped around him.
From what you can tell, the goblins were just wreaking havoc. There are several hacked up corpses in the glass workshop but they don't appear to be Ameiko.
Cadas casts Detect Magic as she looks around in these rooms and checks the dead goblins for anything useful.
Total of 10 dead goblins including the ones that ran. All are wearing typical poor quality goblin leather armor, poor quality shields, and poor quality dogslicers. None of any other things of value. You do notice that each and everyone of them has the same Sihedron Rune totem around their necks.
Detect Magic reveals no magical auras in the vicinity.
Hey, all these gobs seem to be Sihedron gobs. Cadas notes as she examines the dead enemies.
"Let's get going" Boo agrees. "I don't think we ought to dawdle. That little guy probably went for help. The longer we wait the more help he may find."
Cadas falls in ready to support any reasonable plan to move forward.
Cadas and Smoke find themselves in a small loading area with several doors coming off. To the east, a pair of double doors lead to the outside of the Glassworks. There are two single doors on the south wall, the westernmost with a streak of dried blood on the floor under it. The last door is on the northwest wall.
The room has a wheelbarrow leaning against the wall and sets of shelves with wooden containers with labels. A quick search of the labels shows the words: manganese or cobalt or tin on separate shelves. A floor safe stands open in the middle of the room.
So from the loading area described above, the only double doors are locked and go outside. There are 2 single doors in the south wall, one with a bloodstain under it, there is also the door in the northwest wall near where the last goblin runner was killed.
There is also the floor safe and the boxes of minerals if of any interest to you.
So, what next?
"Can anyone open the safe? There may be something in there that might shed some light on why the goblins were here."
A floor safe stands open in the middle of the room.
The safe is standing open. Looking inside, you see that it a small metal-lined box, but it now stands empty. This safe has a key lock on the door, and the key is standing inside the lock mechanism.
Cadas indicates the door with the blood stain under it. That one. she says to Smoke.
"This looks quite personal," Rogar says looking at the glassed man.
He takes a look at the gyms.
Appraise
"Pretty."
Tinuviel looks over the minerals.
The boxes of minerals are not gems. They are ground up finely into powder. They likely have some cash value, Tinuviel estimates at 10gp per pound, but aren't treasure in the usual sense, have to find the right buyer for these items. There are likely 10 lbs of minerals here all told.
Rogar cannot estimate any value for them but does seem to remember that cobalt colors glass blue. He also remembers that gold turn glass red and silver is used to tint it yellow. Neither silver or gold is found in this room however.
Perhaps more valuable minerals wer kept in the safe... Cadas postulates.
Smoke opens the bloodstained door, walking inside with his sword at the ready. "We can look around later-- we need to find Ameiko."
"Agreed"
Tinuviel follows Smoke.
"Easy lad, let those of us born in the dark lead the way into it." Rogar says gently.
Perception
The door with the bloodsmear underneath opens into a dark interior room with many doors coming off of it. The blood trail continues to the double doors in the southwest. A few drops scattered on the floor, and bloody hand print (not human) are obvious. All the bloodstains are dried and not recent.
Rogar moves forward slowly. He takes a careful look at the hand print to determine what it is.
Not sure which to use so here :D:
Survival
Kn. Nature
Kn. Dungeon
"The green ones aren't alone," Rogar whispers and cautiously leads the group down the steps.
My thoughts as well. It was not likely a goblin that opened the safe to take the valuables from it. Cadas comments. Before we advance too far that way, can we check this door behind us? I do not like leaving a closet or storeroom unopened.
Boo turns to face the door and waits.
