[ufis]

Horroar thinks to himself how smart these goblins get all of a sudden, stepping out of melee to allow the ranged attackers better opportunity, and wonders just how many javelins each of these critters carry.

[GuyFawkes]

The leaping goblin surprised Heath a bit, but as he recovered, he swung down hard on it with his club.

[Thunder Chicken]

Prescott is hit by the goblin and taken aback. His neck hurts and his body sore from hitting the tree. However, he regains composure and hits the goblin back. As he does, the presence from before is felt again, giving his swing an extra bite to it. After attacking, Prescott moves back behind Heath.

Attack with the douse the flames maneuver. If it hits, the goblin can't make AOO's in the next round. Also move back to G4.

Attack (1d20+6)[16]

Damage (1d6+3)[4]

If a hit, Prescott uses Martial Spirit to heal Heath by 2 hitpoints.

[Forbiddenwar]

Prescott clubs the goblin that leapt down at him. He scores a solid hit, healing himself.

Horroar swings and misses the goblin in front of him, but spots the last goblin in a tree to the south.

Heath bashes the goblin that attacked Prescott down.

The goblin at F9 looks towards Heath and Prescott and limps slowly down to where Horroar is pulling out his morning star and readying his shield. He has the mad look in his eyes of last stands.

He swings at Horroar.

The goblin that Horroar attacked attacks back.
(1d20+2)[3]

The goblin in the tree (d16) falls out. (wow that was a bad climb check) he gets up and readies his morning star and shield.

Chance of lightstick in Heath's hands failure: (1-5) (1d100)[77]

"Raarrgg!" I roar as I cut down the goblins in front of me.

I then move towards the goblin to the south (F14)

(assuming I killed the other two)

Horroar Cries out neatly beheading the two goblins in front of him and tears towards the last goblin.

[GuyFawkes]

Having dispatched all of the goblins on their end, Heath turned to Prescott. "Come, let us aid our barbarian friend," he said before going into the direction of Hoarror's roar.

Prescott can barely make out Horroar, his sword raised and dripping with goblin blood.

For Horroar:

The goblin in front of you drops his sword and shield, bows down and speaks you to in perfect Orc:
Please great and powerful being, be merciful! Make my death quick, far quicker than my masters!
(No need to roll to kill him, if you choose to do so.)

Combat is now over:
Exp: 200 each
Each (6) goblins had a small morningstar, small leather armor (2 of these can be crafted into a medium leather armor) and a small light wooden shield.

First round begins when you act. It is a surprise round. Everyone can act except the creature.

[ufis]

For a moment I pause, surprised to see a strange creature like this.

Then instinct kicks in.

As the creature approaches I fly into a rage. When it comes close I step closer (F8) and swings my longsword at it.

[Forbiddenwar]

Horroar's weapon passes through the creature as if he stabbed a campfire. His blade glows red for a moment and the creature calls out in pain. And then continues to laugh.

[GuyFawkes]

As soon as Hoarror made contact with their nightly visitor, Heath moved forward to flank it, and made his move, using his momentum to swing down his mace hard.

Attack: (1d20+5)[6]
Damage: (1d6+4)[9]

[ufis]

"What is this thing? Zusk! Bring water!"

[Thunder Chicken]

When Heath moved to flank the flaming goblin, Prescott attacked. With a flash of holy fury, he yells our and swung his mace, attempting to distract the goblin.

(1d6+3)[4]

Critical
(1d20+5)[15]
(1d6+3)[5]

Used Douse the Flames to prevent AoOs by the goblin for 1 round.

[Forbiddenwar]

Zusk goes to get water.
And that concludes the surprise round.
Now the order is:

Prescott, Heath, Horroar
Creature
Zusk

[ufis]

While totally confused as to what to do about this creature I continue to press the attack. It did cry out in pain when I hit it.

Attack: (1d20+8)[25] Damage: (1d8+6)[12]
Crit: (1d20+8)[15] Damage: (1d8+6)[14]

Edit: Forgot the +2 for flanking it, but I doubt it matters.

[Thunder Chicken]

Damn. I missed. Don't abandon me Heironeous.

Prescott glares at the goblin, taunting and snarling at him at the same time. While doing so, he changes his footwork ever so slightly.

Gathering his strength, Prescott makes another attack against the flaming goblin. He tries to batter aside the goblin's defenses, making it easier for his allies to attack.

(1d20+7)[10]
(1d6+3)[8]
Crit
(1d20+7)[13]
(1d6+3)[6]

Uses Iron Guard's Glare stance, causing threatened enemies to receive a -4 on attack rolls against allies, but not against Prescott. Then uses Vanguard Strike, which will give allies a +4 attack bonus against the goblin until the start of my next turn if my attack hits.

[GuyFawkes]

Not wanting to give their opponent an opening, Heath did not let up on the attacks, Heath used the momentum he gained from his missed swing, spinning around for a wide-arcing blow down on the creature's back with his mace and following it up with his club.

Attack 1: (1d20+3)[13]
Crit confirm: (1d20+3)[11]
Damage (1d6+4)[5] + (1d6+4)[7](if crit)

Attack 2: (1d20+3)[11]
Crit confirm: (1d20+3)[18]
Damage (1d6+2)[6] + (1d6+2)[7](if crit)

[Forbiddenwar]

Horroar slices through the creature leaving a trail of blackened smoke behind. The creature stops laughing and expands rapidly until it is the same size and shape as Horroar. A sword of fire grows out of him palm to make a mirror image of the half orc facing him. The wet ground at his feet smolders. He calls out a few words to horroar and bares his Flaming teeth. The shape doesn't hold and it forms into a column of fire, medium sized.

[Forbiddenwar]

Zusk returns and throws a small waterskin at the creature.
Attack: (1d20+3)[9]
Damage:(1d6)[1]
the skin burst against the ground splashing warm water on everyone, including the elemental.

[ufis]

"What the?". Only temporarily surprised by the creature I scream my battle cry back at it, and swing my sword again, hoping that what I am doing is working. "Horroar kill flamey thing!"

Attack: (1d20+10)[12] Damage: (1d8+6)[14]
Crit: (1d20+10)[11] Damage: (1d8+6)[10]

[GuyFawkes]

Heath was starting to get anxious at his incompetence. But he did not let up; he did not know how dangerous this one is, so taking it down before it did something was the only logical choice. "Don't let up! Don't give it an opening!" he shouted before another flurry of attacks.

Attack 1: (1d20+5)[13] (+2 flanking)
Crit Confirm: (1d20+5)[19]
Damage: (1d6+4)[8] + (1d6+4)[10](if crit)

Attack 2: (1d20+5)[13]
Crit Confirm: (1d20+5)[15]
Damage: (1d6+2)[3] + (1d6+2)[7](if crit)

[Thunder Chicken]

What if He is dead? No, stay calm. It's a new enemy, it makes sense if you have to adjust, Prescott thought after he had missed the goblin twice.

Prescott swung his mace again, this time trying to look incredibly confident. He hoped Heath and Horroar would take note and have a similar morale boost.

(1d20+7)[24]
(1d6+3)[5]
Crit
(1d20+7)[18]
(1d6+3)[9]

Used Leading the Attack. If it hits, Heath and Horroar get a +4 attack bonus against the goblin for 1 round. Still in Iron Guard's Glare stance, giving the goblin a -4 on attacks against Heath and Horroar. New set of maneuvers next round.

[Forbiddenwar]

Heath, Horroar and Prescott all stab at the thing, and it expands again to the size of a small giant.
At the center of the creature a small collumn of black smoke forms. It expands until the swirling creature if filled with smoke. Soon it is nothing but smoke, and then it is nothing.

EXP:300 each

[GuyFawkes]

Heath stepped back a bit as the creature expanded and turned to smoke. He fanned a bit of the smoke that went his direction with his hands, coughing up a bit. "Is everyone alright?"
