Brandon wants to laugh but can't help but frown. He's reminded too much of the time his brothers did exactly the same to him and he ran about everywhere, bumping into walls, with the barrel over his head, screaming for his mother.

Re: Old Ways IC
Stefan drags a table or bench to a good firing position and turns it on it's side so that he can have some cover behind it.
He does a double take at Talsarios and the goblin, then tries to fight off a grin and stay focused on the stairwell.

Re: Old Ways IC
Talsarios covers the gobin's head with a small barrel. He struggles and teeters precariously on the top stair. No one else appears from below.

Re: Old Ways IC
"Looks to me like there'll be more along in a moment... " says the Thyatian scholar in the common speech.
He grabs the green wrist of the goblin. "It'll protect your head!" Talsarios declares in goblin, and holding the barrel down, tries to bundle the charmed goblin out into the chamber beyond the kitchen. "I'll get you out safe!" he adds.

Brandon says, "I hope that we're not called to run out of here in a hurry, Talsarios. It's going to look mighty weird if you have to carry a barrel with two goblin feet sticking out and wriggling."

"Point him in the right direction and he'll run himself."
Stefan tries to listen through the commotion for any other goblins that might be climbing the stairs.

With a wide grin, Jeanne entertains thoughts of kicking the barreled-goblin down the stairs.

Re: Old Ways IC
After only a brief calm, a score of seconds or so, the sound of grunts, yips, and footfalls from the bottom of the stairs made its way to the top. The lighted part of the stairway filled with goblins, maybe a half dozen that could be seen.
The barrel headed goblin still teetered on the top stair in a bewildered fashion.

Re: Old Ways IC
Nathros double checks the guard rooms for signs of goblins, and any ways of ingress or egress.
It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

Brandon peers and says to the rest of the party, "I see only six."
"I'll hang back and let you shoot the buggers down. If any come close enough to attack, pull back and let me deal with them."
He does as he said, moving back a bit so that Talsarios, Jeanne, and Stefan can throw missiles at the goblins. But he also shouts in the direction Nathros went, "Nathros! Six more goblins coming up!"

"Gotcha!" Stefan moves around his makeshift table-barrier and to the stairs, sling ready.
Glancing down the stairs, he whips a shot at the nearest goblin's face.

Re: Old Ways IC
Talsarios continues to struggle in dragging the hapless goblin over Brandon's imposing barrier.
Stefan's sling bullet flies over the heads of the onrushing goblins.
The goblins charge up the stairs and begin trying to scale the barrier.
---
Nathros finds the two guardrooms empty, the stair in each leads up into the adjoining tower.
Spoiler
PCs win initiative
Goblins, being a bit smaller than humans, are three abreast at the barrier, trying to scale it. Stefan and Tal (and the charmed goblin) currently fill the party's side of the barrier.
Tal is still trying to drag the goblin over the barrier. The goblin seems to be flailing but not helping or opposing the effort.
Nathros does hear Brandon's call, but barely.

He winces as his strike misses and he says, "Jeanne, if they get through me, cast your spell and someone drag me out of here, please."
He sounds like he thinks he's going to die.Last edited by Frivolous; 2011-10-27 at 09:44 PM.

Re: Old Ways IC
Stefan fires another shot over the goblins' heads and steps back allowing Brandon to step forward. Brandon cuts a notch into the barricade, but none of the goblins were harmed.
The first three goblins struggle their way over the barrier, knives drawn, and land all around Brandon, Talsarios, and the charmed, barrel-headed goblin.
Spoiler
Goblins won initiative and used both their last turn and this turn scaling the barricade.
PCs turn.
Brandon and Tal in melee range. Stefan and Jeanne a bit farther back (maybe 15') in the kitchen room. Nathros still in the guardroom.

"Talsarios, get back. You're not wearing armor."
Brandon curses his stupidity in not doing this earlier as he roars and hurls himself at the barricade he constructed so that it crashes down the steps.
SpoilerI don't think there is a mechanic for this, but Brandon wants to push the barricade down over the goblins' heads.
He figures that if he doesn't, three more goblins will come crawling over it soon and then the party will be in real trouble.
I hope he's strong enough to collapse the barrier. I mean, it's not that well constructed, and Brandon is both heavy and wearing plate mail.

Re: Old Ways IC
Putting the charmed and blind goblin between himself and the enemy with a goblinoid cry of "Look out mate!", Talsarios retreats out of the fight.

Re: Old Ways IC
Jeanne puts an arrow into one of the goblins on her side of the barricade and Stefan sends another shot over the heads of the enemy.
Brandon crashes into the barricade shoving the whole lot crashing down the stairs on top of the three goblins still on the far side of it.
Spoiler
PCs win initiative. PC's turn.
One goblin dead and two alive still in the kitchen.
All the rest of the goblins somewhere down the stairs with lots of debris on the stairs themselves.

Brandon smiles with relief as the barrier crashes. Then he turns to the knife-wielding goblins and says, "Die."
He hacks at the one closest to Talsarios with his sword.

Nathros returns to the scene of action when he hears all the crashing and shouting.

Re: Old Ways IC
Nathros returns to the bloody kitchen to see Brandon atop the stairs battling two goblins, a clearly frustrated Stefan send a sling bullet careening off a nearby wall, and Jeanne lining up her next shot carefully. Tal seemed to be keeping his charmed goblin, now wearing a barrel for a helmet, between himself and the melee.
For his part the charmed goblin stumbles into one of his old pals and teeters precariously on the edge of the top stairs.
The two knife wielding goblins both land solid blows on Brandon that would have sliced open a less armored person. Brandon's mail takes the blows and deflects them aside.
Spoiler
Tie for Initiative. Post your actions and I'll work it out.
Two still fighting goblins and one charmed goblin possibly about to tumble down the stairs.

Re: Old Ways IC
Ducking among the swinging weapons, Talsarios gingerly tries to get his charmed goblin friend out of the melee...
SpoilerYoung Alastor Talsarios, scholar extraordinaire, is going to try for grab of the goblin's wrist, to pull him away from the stairs toward the party. He's trying to do this with the most care and attention to not getting hit that he can.
However, if Alastor judges that he can't get to Goblin Friend without disrupting the party's attack rank, he'll pick up any convenient pole-like object and instead shove the hapless mite down the stairs, with a cry of "Gert outta it, stoopid cook!" in his best goblinoid voice.

Stefan loads his sling again and strafes around the kitchen to get a good clean shot into the melee.
Trying a more reckless type of shot, he puts his hip into the swing with a "Huah!"

Dropping her bow, Jeanne retrieves her trusty trident and steps in if a front line warrior falls.
