OOC: I don't have access to my character sheet, but it's in my sig. You'll have to look at my sheet to get my modifiers.

Also, my initiative:

Initiative - (1d20)[2]

Guard jumped up with a growl. No one would hurt the patrons of this bar! His natural protectiveness flowed around him as he sank into his battle trance.

You have made a serious mistake!!!!

[deathpigeon]

Initiative: (1d20+5)[20]

"I suppose I should fight."

[FrozenOcean]

Sydney, or Lho, saw these events unfold, and did what he always does.

He broke into a run, skidding past the... hey, was that a Warforged!? and leaping expertly over the bar... To hide.

If anyone was watching, they'd probably have been shocked. Instead of a hybrid Drow-Eladrin, a shining, silver Dragonborn burst back over bar, with an almighty roar, claws at the ready.

Used Change Shape. Make a Bluff check against target's Insight. Btw, cast Ghost Sound for the roar. Nice FX, huh? Also, (1d20+2)= ?

[Shadow_Elf]

Andon leaps up, Fleche and Chaser drawn and falls into his battle trance. Even here I cannot find peace. he thinks, before saying aloud These pathetic hobgoblins will be parted with their heads before long! Come, let us dispatch these vagabonds.

Initiative: (1d20+3)[16]

[Telasi]

Init (1d20+3)[7](10)

[Re'ozul]

Dregash.

Having heard a cry, I break into a run, rushing through the last narrow alleyway.
I turn the corner, narrowly avoiding two figures ... too fast to make out clearly.
Are they the enemy? One is much taller than the other.
No weapons! my mind tells me Not the enemy!
Half a second later I resume my run towards the origin of the cry
I see it now. An open door. Hobgoblins. The cry was theirs.
I cannot clearly make out their expressions but their swords speak a clear language.
Thought turns to steel as I draw my sword.
My will becomes guarded as I ready my shield.
I have sworn to protect, no matter the cost.
I answer their cry with one of my own.


Initiative:
(1d20+1)[4]

[Samm]

"Outrage, this is in the tavern, in the middle of a town! Go away from here, foul beasts and leave these patrons in peace!" Varis then draws his longspear and prepares for battle.

Initiative: (1d20+3)[21]

[Dristin]

The Hobgoblins grow at your curses and look to engage anyone they can inside the bar.

[deathpigeon]

Jarat yells, "No one get to close, make sure they have to move to get to you! I have a plan, of sorts."

[FrozenOcean]

The Dragonborn that was Sydney thrust his clawed hand toward the hobgoblins. A nasty green bolt streaked through the air toward the Hobgoblins. 'I'm not doing this to you... because of your... wicked ways; I simply want to kill you!' Sydney laughed hysterically, through Dragonborn teeth.

Considering it now IS my turn, I think (I got 21), I'll cast Acid Arrow at E,14 (HG1). (2d8+4)[12] on HG1. On adjacent targets: (1d8+4)[12]Had to Double Post for rolls. Also, I have to go, I'll post again later.

[Samm]

Varis then shouts at the hobgoblins, "Come on then, do your worst!" Varis then moves 15ft to the right and braces for the hobgoblin onslaught.

Spoiler

Varis readies a melee basic attack with his longspear for when the hobgoblins move towards him, and move just within reach ie. 10ft away from Varis

[Shyftir]

Lonepine's next comment was interrupted by bellowing hobgoblins. This did not please him.

He jumped to his feet, pulled his falchion from behind his back then flipped it over so that he could and brandish the holy symbol impressed into its silvered pommel.

Init:(1d20+1)[8] and the +2 from Varis makes 10.

He released a fiendish howl and focused the power given him by Sehanine in order to inflict his enemies with the dreaded Blood Moon Howl.

The four hobgoblins in the bar fall to the ground dead before they hit the floor. More screams and fighting can be heard from outside and some of the battle cries seem to be getting closer.

Spoiler

anyone that acted after frozen ocean can change their action since all of the hobgoblins died from that attack. Minions totally get wasted by daily powers

[deathpigeon]

Jarat instead moves to F11.

[Telasi]

On her init, Kaelisse will ready an RBA with her hand crossbow. Target the first hobbo to enter her line of sight.

Damage: (1d8+3)[5](8)
High Crit: (1d8)[2](2)

[Shadow_Elf]

On Andon's initiative count (18), he will double move to G17 and draw Fleche and Chaser. (Move, Move, Minor).

After seeing the strange dragonborn melt the hobgoblins, Andon laughs. And that is why my people kept these pathetic humanoids a slaves! I cannot count the number of goblinoids whose lifeblood I have drawn with my blades. Just like being in Menzoberranzan. He winces noticeably as he says the name of his former home city, running past tables and allies to get to the bar's exit.

[Shyftir]

On his initiative (10):

Lonepine ran after Andon and out the door. As he ran, he pulled his falchion and growled under his breathe,"Untrained Hobgoblins? They must be a distraction for the real danger." Upon exiting the bar he immediately began looking for a more substantial enemy.

[Samm]

Instead Varis takes two move actions and runs over to Andon (F17). He stands just beside him, draws his crossbow, and looks outside for anymore danger. (Move, Move, Minor)

He then says to Andon, "I'll cover you if anything tries to flank you, and if they try a frontal assault, you'll fight much better with my spear over your shoulder."

Thank you kindly! I hope you can keep up! says Andon jovially, inclining his head to the warlord.

OOC: I plan to have Andon throw up a Rage and then go crazy with moving and shifting and charging stuff. Keeping up may be a legitimate concern .

I think my turn is up, but I'm not sure. I'm also pretty sure that the hobgoblins in the inn are dead.

I'm going to move to 16E and ready an action to basic attack the first enemy I see.

I think the most you could move is to F14. The middle section is a fireplace and you can not move thru it.

[Dristin]

The humans near the eastern wall all stand up from their chairs and cower against the wall. They all seem to hope that this odd collection of people will take care of the chaos outside and that has already started within. The humans at the back table only look up from their card game to make sure that nothing is coming their way. They quickly redirect their attention back to the game to make sure none of the money has been stole. For those that are outside and can see out the door more enemies seem to be coming. More hobgoblins from the south are joined by a goblin carrying a torch. A few more are approaching rapidly from the east.

((By going around the right, I can make it to G16, by my count. I think my issue was counting a diagonal across a wall, which I cannot do. But I should still be able to make G16.))

OOC: I was planning (in fact it says so in my post) to move next to Andon, so if he moves to G16, can I be in F16 (just next to him)? I think you may have to update your map again...

Also, I guess I'll delay, till the move after Andon, so I can support him better.

When did I move behind the bar again?

Sydney looked at the half-dissolved corpses. They were calling to him.

'Loot us!' they cried. 'Kill the innocents, steal their shoes!' they cried.

[Re'ozul]

As long as the current map doesn't change greatly until my turn:

An impressive Display, I cannot help but realize. But Evil always returns like a weed, and so do these creatures it seems.
Another group has arrived and I realize it would be best to reduce the threat to give the other fighters inside the tavern time to come join the fight in just cause.
My throat tingles then burns as I congeal my acid into a form better to handle. It makes the process much more uncomfortable, but oh so much more effective.
The ball of acid rests in my hand; cool and of respectable weight. Shimmering with the green that seems so tantalizing during the process and so sickening after it shows its destructive potential. I sling it to the feet of the lone goblin, the despicable would-be arsonist.
I do not linger to see wether I will hit my aim. I have learned to trust my own abilities. I had to learn. Hesitation is tantamount to suicide in a battle. And suicide the ultimate sin a defender can fall to.
The Hobgoblins seem surprised. Did they truely think I could not sense them? Their muscles tighten. Their eyes narrow. It seems they were merely hoping. Very well, I can accept hope. It is ignorance that I abhor. I close the distance between us, moving away from the wall. I am no coward. I will meet them in the open. I will not look for cover against an inferior enemy. Nary a moment passes and I can see traces of something in their eyes. Is it fear? Pride? Dedication?
They raise their weapons in defiance. If not for their actions, they might be worth to be acknowledged as warriors. But they have chosen their way.
They wish to attack civilians and burn their homes?
I will make them understand the wrongness of their actions.
One thought reverberates through my mind, and my voice carries it into the world, riding on the breath that I will take from those that oppose what is just.
REPENT!

Sorry but I missed where you moved to. What square are you in?

[Shyftir]

Lonepine's instincts were on fire. He felt the need to wade into combat heavily almost as if drugged. As soon as possible he would run forward out the doorway and do his best to engage the first enemy he could.
