    Off in the distance, you see the wagon rapidly growing closer. Even from this far away you can tell that the horse is injured, and absolutely terrified. The goblins appear to be "playing with their food" so to speak. They are on both sides of the road hurling their short spears and javelins at the wagon and at the horse while cackling with delight. They seem to be enjoying the chase too much to notice that they are rapidly approaching the town, and they certainly don't appear to have noticed your party stepping out through the gate.

    As you rush forward, you hear the gate screech closed behind you, completely cutting you off from safety. You are on your own now.

    Spoiler
    Show

    The goblins first round move is continuing to chase the wagon. The wagon itself is now 200 feet away. Some of the goblins are closer than that, getting ahead of the wagon to then throw something at it while it flies by. This takes place before your first round action. So Teryl, if you run your 120 feet, that puts you 80 feet from the wagon, and 60 from the nearest goblins.


    -----

    ROUND 2:

    One of the front-running goblins is preparing to hurl a javelin at the horse drawn wagon coming towards him, when a sudden sound causes him to turn to look down the road. The goblin's expression of terror is priceless as his eyes fall upon the source of Jabari's roar. The nearly full grown lioness is charging straight at him. He flings his javelin at the lion, and hollers something in the goblin language to his allies. (Probably something along the lines of "oh ****, there's a lion!")

    A couple of goblins near him are relatively quick on the uptake as well. One flings a short spear at the lion from across the road, while another brave (or more likely just very stupid) goblin charges forward with a malicious looking morningstar and takes a swing at Jabari. Both the spear and javelin fly harmlessly over Jabari's head, but by a stroke of luck the third goblin lands a solid blow with his morningstar.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Jabari takes 6 damage


    Most of the other goblins begin to pick up on the fact that there seems to be more things to attack now other than the horse and wagon, and they begin to arrange themselves accordingly, spreading out a bit more, and taking their focus off of the wagon for now. With that said, some of the goblins are still preoccupied with their initial target, and you notice a couple of them trying to climb on to the moving wagon... unsuccessfully thus far.

    Ergrim is quick to respond. He lowers his musket and delivers a lethal blow to the goblin who had just thrown a spear at Jabari. As the goblin goes flying backwards from the force of the gunshot, a number of the goblins' heads turn with jaws dropped. (It is probably reasonable to deduce that gunpowder is a new experience for them.)

    Mafalma continues to sprint forwards, raring to catch up! He readies his halberd, ready to cleave goblins as soon as he is in range. Far ahead, Jabari runs forwards and leaps onto the nearest goblin, lunging at him with her fangs!

    Mafalma runs 80ft, almost in range!

    Jabari uses a move action to get as close as possible to the nearest goblin, and then makes a bite attack (at 20ft away, she's too close to use a charge): (1d20+6)[26] to hit, damage is (1d8+3)[7]

    Seeing little point in sprinting towards a goblin and giving the little creature plenty of time to prepare a counterattack, Brian slows his mad dash. Passing by Ergrim as the younger man's shot takes the unlucky goblin off its feet (and its mortal coil), he calls out, "Fine shooting Serif! If you pick off those focussed on the wagon we shall clear a path to the gate."

    Teryl's rash charge takes his target by surprise as his sword slips under the goblin's guard and stabs him in the stomach. The goblin winces in pain and readies a counter-attack.

    Mafalma runs to catch up to Jabari, and reaches his companion just at she pounces on the goblin who had just attacked her. You hear a muffled scream as the lioness bites down on the goblin's head with a sickening crunch. The goblin escapes Jabari's grasp only to fall to the ground unconscious, with what is clearly a fractured skull, and serious brain damage. (Not that there was much brain to be damaged anyway...)

    Brian bravely rushes towards the goblins alongside his allies, ready to wreak havoc on any goblins foolish enough to approach him.


    -------

    The rest of the goblins continue charging forward in a disorganized and confused jumble of little green bodies, as the horse continues to struggle along with the wagon in tow. As the horse gallops past you, you can see a number of open gashes along its flanks, and a javelin sticking out of it's side. It's a wonder the poor beast is still moving; it looks like it should have collapsed half a mile back at least.

    Two Goblins rushed forward to attack Teryl, alongside the one already in melee combat with the magus. Teryl's nimble footwork is enough to elude all three of their attacks, although one of the goblin's blade comes near enough to tear a small slit through your shirt.

    Three more goblins haphazardly throw themselves at Brian. Two wielding short swords manage to land hits on Brian's unprotected torso, but the third, who is wielding a great-axe that is clearly a bit too big for him to handle, instead drops his weapon on his own foot, causing the goblin to squeal out in pain.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Brian takes 6 damage, and you get an AoO against one of the goblins.


    One rushes forward at Jabari, but rather than getting too close, flings his club at the intimidating lioness, with blood dripping from her jaw. His attack misses, and now the goblin stands terrified and weaponless at Jabari's mercy.

    Ergrim and Mafalma each also dodge under thrown weapons, and Mafalma parries the blow of another goblin who dared attempt a charge past his halberd.

    Spoiler
    Show
    (You also get an attack of opportunity.)


    The battlefield is already complete chaos, and it has only just begun. You can only hope that your desperate counterattack will buy the poor horse enough time to carry the wagon to the safety of Ashvale's walls. Now, in the thick of battle, you have your own heads to look out for!

    Go ahead with your next moves!

    Brian grunts slightly as the swords scrape across his ribs and readies himself to dodge the greataxe.

    Crooking an eyebrow as the unlucky goblin drops his overly large weapon, Brian swings his sword around in an arc, putting all his considerable strength behind the blow that scythes upwards towards the goblin.

    Ergrim tries to see if any of the goblin are still harassing the wagon but as he hasn’t a clear line of sight he turns his attention to the three closest to him. Whispering to his gun “Don’t you fail me now” he push himself and his musket to the limits as in quick succession he loads and shoots his weapon thrice.

    Laughing with delight as he dodges the goblins' attacks, Teryl stops just long enough to begin an incantation as he parries the last one's attack. In a fluid, sweeping spin, he thrusts out with his left hand, unleashing a blast of light towards the goblins, quickly following that up with a powerful blow from his sword. He can feel the Blade pour its own energies into the attack, eager to see this foe felled.

    Spell Combat to cast Color Spray (defensively) and still attack (aiming for the same goblin I hit before, if it's not unconscious. If it is, any of the three who are still standing, the spell goes off first.). Also, the Black Blade (really hope I do something cool with it soon so I get to name it) is going to use one of its Arcana Points to get +2 to damage for 1 minute.

    After Brian and Mafalma each drop a a goblin, the party continues its attack.

    Brian slashes at a goblin, who was fortunate enough to duck under the blade, before stepping behind the wagon to cover its escape. Ergrim manages to bring down another goblin before his gun misfires, leaving him rapidly fiddling with the guns mechanisms.

    Mafalma and Jabari charge forward and both deal incredible blows to the goblins in front of them, although Jabari's opponent manages to stay on his feet.

    A blinding splash of colorful light rushes out of Teryl's hand; one goblin manages to avert its gaze, but another falls to the ground unconscious. Teryl then stabs at the goblin in front of him again, this time with a fatal blow.

    The goblins continue their reckless attack charging forward heedlessly. Teryl's use of magic attracts particular attention, and a number of nearby goblins hurl projectiles at him with squeals of rage, while the closest goblin stabs again with its short sword. This time you are a bit too slow, and two javelins slashes across your thigh and waist before embedding into the ground behind you.

    I'll take more than that, Teryl taunts, feeding magic into his blade. Good, he thinks as the air around the blade begins to become a light mist, the more they concentrate on us, the less they attack the wagon. He takes a slash at the remaining of the three goblins.

    Brian barely feels the fresh wounds from the goblins' weapons, so focussed is he on blocking the road. Nonetheless, some small part of his mind is seriously worried about what Cassandra will have to say about the state of his shirt. Hearing the goblins' mocking laughter, he turns to face them with fury in his eyes.

    For a brief instant, his entire body tenses and white light flickers across his wounds, wiping them away as if they were never there. "Foolish little goblins!" he roars, "Flee before the power of the Light of the Sword!" With that he launches another swing that threatens to remove the heads of a pair of goblins.

    Teryl is unfortunately too focused on taunting his enemies to notice the shield of the goblin he had just felled, lying on the ground in his way. You nearly faceplant, and the goblin you were trying to attack laughs derisively, easily dodging your blow.

    Brian on the other hand, has a bit more luck. Fully healing himself in the blink of an eye, the goblins are startled by the bright lights, and are fully unprepared for what happens next. Brian's borrowed sword sweeps violently from right to left, neatly decapitating two goblins in one fell swoop.

    Ergrim hastily fiddles with his trusty musket, and thanks to his nerves of steel, years of experience, and a little bit of luck, he quickly clears the barrel in the blink of an eye. After sidestepping yet another pitiful attack from one of the goblins, Ergrim crams another cartridge in the chamber and hastily raises his musket, delivering a point blank blow to the goblin who had just attacked him. The goblin instantly falls to the ground with a gaping hole in his face. If the other goblins weren't terrified of your musket before, they certainly are now.

    Mafalma, in the heat of battle, steps forward with his halberd, slashing at one of the goblins focused on Brian. His first cut opens a deep wound on the back of the goblins leg, but the little devil reacts quickly, and dodges your second attack, growling ferociously as he turns toward you, seeking revenge.

    Jabari also has her paws full, and lunges at the goblin in front of her with a growl. The goblin is surprisingly quick considering how deeply wounded it is, but that can happen in moments of desperation. It easily evades Jabari's bite, but cannot get away in time to dodge the subsequent swipe of her claws. Jabari rakes across the goblins flesh with one arm, resulting in a loud squeal of agony.

    Jabari's opponent manages to stay on its feet for a moment, and even manages a successful counterattack, stabbing into Jabari's hide at the shoulder. However, this exertion puts the little bugger over the edge, and he instantly passes out, apparently from blood-loss.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Jabari takes 4 damage.


    The goblin who has thus far managed to evade Teryl's blade now tries to take advantage of his momentary opening, but Teryl is too quick and too nimble, dodging the attack yet again. A couple other goblins, who evidently don't take kindly to being referred to as "swine" chuck their random assortment of weapons towards Mafalma, and one short spear manages to find its way through your armor. Teryl is also struck by some sort of thrown club, which will surely result in a bruise.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Mafalma takes 2 damage, Teryl takes 3.


    Meanwhile, the goblin Mafalma had just slashed now turns for the offensive, nimbly ducking under your attack and stabbing at you with full force. However, his sword glances off your armor harmlessly.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Rolled the AoO for you again, this time you missed.


    Ergrim's two remaining opponents howl with rage as they spring forward, but are still unable to land a hit on the nimble musketeer.

    The Wagon continues to speed away from the battle as fast as the poor workhorse can go, but you can tell the injured creature is really slowing down. It's still anyone's guess as to whether it will make it to the gate alive or not.

    Finding himself in a sudden lull in the battle, Brian straightens up to survey the situation. Seeing more than half the goblins either dead or down, he turns to make sure the wagon is safely away. For the first time, he notices the trail of blood left in the wagon's wake, presumably from the horse. The last thing we need is right now is for the horse to collapse, he thinks to himself.

    He gives his sword a quick flick to get the worst of the goblin blood off it and takes off at a sprint towards the wagon, shouting "I'll make sure the wagon makes it to the walls, keep a lid on things here!"

    Ergrim is lighting fast with his rifle, letting off three quick shots at the enemy, all of which find their mark. The two goblins closest to him are still on their feet, but his third shot manages to bring his opponent down.

    Jabari and Mafalma both step forward continuing to bring down goblins left and right. Jabari's goes straight for the neck of her tarket, bringing him down with a scream, and mafalma steps over the body of his last opponent to bring a swift death to the next enemy in his way.

    Teryl continues to struggle with the one pesky goblin in front of him, who seems to be enjoying himself a bit too much. The goblin dodges and parries Teryls blows harmlessly.

    Meanwhile the two goblins Teryl just shot are pretty badly wounded, enough so that they seem to have lost their will to fight. Both take off running towards the east, although one is more brutally injured than the other, and can only manage a slow limp.

    Seeing this, two of the remaining goblins also seem to give up, taking one last parting shot with their javelins before fleeing to the south. One of them has a particularly lucky throw, and his javelin scrapes past Mafalma's face, cutting your cheek.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Mafalma takes 4 damage.


    Teryl's opponent however, is either too unobservant or just too stupid to run away, and continues to stab at Teryl with his tiny blade. Yet again, he ends up striking only air.

    The horse continues to struggle towards the stronghold's gate, still thoroughly terrified by the sounds of battle behind it.

    -------

    Next round! probably the last, for this encounter.

    Ergrim hesitates only for a moment before deciding to finish the fleeing goblins. He never liked shooting someone on the back but well he had become accustomed to doing things he didn't like. In a lightning fast movement he arms and shoots his musket at the nearest goblin to clear the path. He then inhales and between heartbeats gently pushes the trigger aiming at the goblin far away to the east. Lastly As almost an afterthought he tries to shoot one of the goblins running to the south.

    Ergrim takes a 5 foot step to Z31. He attacks without deadly aim
    1st attack is against goblin AG 30 (1d20+10)[11] .Damage if it’s a hit (1d12+6)[8]
    2nd attack is against goblin AY 29 (1d20+4)[20] (-6 from the range incensement) . I should have 4 grit (3 from before plus 1 from killing AG 30) I spend 3 grit points on deadeye to make it a touch attack. Damage if it’s a hit (1d12+6)[9]
    3rd attack is against goblin W46 I use 2 grit to make it a touch attack (I will have 2 by killing the 2nd one) (1d20+1)[12]. Damage if it’s a hit (1d12+6)[14]

    "Jabari! After him!" Mafalma shouts, pointing after the southward-fleening goblins."I'll be damned if I'm running after them" he mutters, flinging his halberd to the ground. Instead, he draws a longbow from his back and nocks an arrow, firing in the same direction.

    Drop halberd as a free action, and draw my longbow as a free action (I have quick draw). Full attack the goblin in V46.

    First shot: (1d20+10)[24]
    Damage: (1d8)[6]

    Second shot: (1d20+5)[9]
    Damage: (1d8)[5]

    Jabari charges 80ft to square X45, and attacks the goblin next to her.

    Bite attack: (1d20+8)[19] (+2 bonus for charging included)
    Damage: (1d8+3)[5]

    Brian continues running after the wagon as it rumbles towards the gate. Glancing over his shoulder and seeing the goblins fleeing he calls out, "Baylor! Open the gate! The goblins are routing!"

    As he finally comes alongside the horse, he slows to a jog and begins to examine the unfortunate creature's injuries. He looks at the driver, "You did well to keep this poor horse moving through all of that. Are you all right?"

    Spoiler

    Fallling into lockstep doesn't really work in a turn-based system but assuming the horse is using a single move action each turn (I think that's what's been happening), running 21 squares straight up should put Brian next to the horse after it moves again.

    Teryl lashes out yet again, and finally strikes true against the evasive goblin, stabbing him in the lower torso causing the goblin to keel forward in pain.

    Ergrim steps towards the goblins fleeing eastward and carefully tries to shoot them down, but unfortunately his weapon misfires yet again. The two goblins he was targeting continue to flee, one hobbling along pathetically, and the other limping more successfully towards the treeline.

    Shall I assume you want to turn that full round attack into a standard attack and then a move action to fix your gun for 1 grit point?


    Mafalma draws his bow with lightning speed and sends an arrow into one of the fleeing goblins while Jabari bites a chunk out of the other goblin's leg, but the goblins continue to speed southward, fueled by their terror.

    Brian, meanwhile, runs alongside the wagon, calling forward to open the gate. The gate opens up, with Baylor and two other guards wielding crossbows stepping out to guide the horse in. Calling out to the driver, you realize that something is wrong when he doesn't respond... in fact he doesn't even move... he just lays there, slouching slightly to one side... That's when you see the large red stain seeping through his shirt.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Trying to interact with the horse in any way will require a handle animal check. And yes, that red stain is blood.

    Also, you and the horse are now almost to the gate. See the first sheet in the google doc.

    I guess this will take another round after all.

    "Keep firing on the fleeing goblins! We can't allow survivors!" Mafalma cries, as he fires two more arrows and Jabari continues to pursue the southward-fleeing goblins.

    Full round action from Mafalma, firing two arrows at the goblin in W58.
    They're past the first range increment, so I've knocked one off the attack roll.

    First attack: (1d20+9)[11]
    Damage: (1d8)[4]

    Second attack: (1d20+4)[18]
    Damage: (1d8)[7]

    Jabari charges the goblin in X58.

    Grimacing as he sees the bloodstain on the driver's chest, Brian grabs at the horse's harness, attempting to bring the panicking animal under control.

    Move action to handle the horse. I'm guessing it's trained for something like riding so I'd like to bring it to heel. If not this will take a full round.

    Forgot my roll tags for the Handle Animal check, see the OOC thread.

    If that does take a move action and it works, Brian will move to Y22 with the horse in tow.
