[4E] Keep on the Shadowfell - IC

[Gillric]

The heroes carefully lay their bait and settle in to wait to see what it collects. Much like the sounds of battle before, the illusion does not draw the goblins forth.

Spoiler

Show

I gave you a shot at it and rolled to see if they would come out but as they didn't come out to the sounds of the earlier battle, the odds weren't great.

[Leolo]

Maybe they sleep, or they protect something or follow orders that doesn't allow to investigate strange sounds or smells. Probably they believe us making camp and wait, so if we want to attack them now should be the right time.

Draziw says in a low voice to his comrades.

[Shadow_Elf]

Weeping Crane
The monk nods, ready for combat. He is prepared to be first into the breach when they open the gates of battle.

[Gillric]

Crane opens the door to reaveal a chamber beyond and a number of goblinoids.

The chamber consists of two parts, the work room and the cellblock. The cellblock to the west features three large cells. The work room holds an iron maiden, two tables covered with implements of torture, a fire pit with several
iron rods, a rack, and a cage.

The hobgoblin carries a set of three keys on a thick iron ring.

Laina rips into the Goblin, Aecris glowing with Runic power, and sends its blood forth through the air onto the ground. She smiles, and the runic power that Aecris was glowing with shoots over to Crane, toughening him and covering him is a dark blue glow.

Laina rushes into the room and opens her defences to the goblin engaged with Crane. When the creature attempts to take advantage of the opening, his swing is wide, allowing Laina to deal him a vicious blow.

The hobgoblin rushes forward but can't pass the monk's defences.

Antivian slipped around the door and behind to help assist Crane. With a swift, singular motion, Antivian whipped his sword out of its sheath and arched it at the goblin in front of him. As he felt his blade bite, he whipped it away from the goblin and back into position in front of the goblin. Glancing over to Crane, Antivian spoke with a determined look in his eyes."Honored Warrior. Their armor is weak on the sides, and the straps are rotten. Hit them on the sides!"

Damage - (1d8+5)[4](9)
Rune of Protection The target takes a -2 penalty to all defenses until the end of your next turn, and the next ally to hit the target before the end of your next turn gains a +3 power bonus to AC UEMNT
Minor - Rune of Mending on Crane, spend a HS. (I'd also suggest using your second wind if you are still up next turn as I am out of Mendings)
Close Burst 5 - Rune of Protection You and each ally in the burst gain a +1 bonus to all defenses until the end of your next turn.

Laina turns and ignore the hobgoblin to go to Crane's aid, luckily the weakened creature misses its mark. In her haste to reach Crane, she also doesn't concentrate on her attack and misses as well. Laina does manage to return Crane to consciousness.

The hobgoblin turns its attention to Antivian with Laina's departure, but much like his earlier attack, his blow lacks precision and is harmlessly deflected by Antivian's armour.

Weeping Crane
The monk rises to his feet, nodding his thanks to Laina. He then reaches out with his right hand, focusing his chi into a psionic extension of his arm. He closes the fist, and the invisible psychic hand follows the motion and attempts to grapple the goblin crossbow archer. The chi extension closes itself around the goblin's neck with a grip as strong as the monk's real hand.

Crane climbs to his feat and then reaches out towards the nearest goblin. As he closes his fist in the air, a spectral fist closes about the goblin.

[Arq Kujos]

Seeing his allies in need, Antivian calls out in the ancient Elven language. He speaks words of power and strength, bolstering Crane's reserves of strength.

As his words echo off the chamber wall, Antivian narrows his eyes at his foe and lunges forward with a quick cut.
