Bhaakon's Brinewall Legacy IC

[Thattaman]

"See, you guys should follow what I do more, I've killed the only goblin so far and I claim it's ears." Theodric approaches the goblin in the wedding dress and slices he down the centre with the Greatsword that is suddenly in his hand.

So he CAN fight. I feared he would only be useful for annoying our enemies as much as he does us. "I shall flank them." Lethos sprints off, climbing the ladder to move around to the other side of the goblins.

not sure how the rules work with double-moves and the ladder. He will climb the J7 ladder and move as far toward the goblins as he can.

If extra move can be used after climbing - I8
If no move is possible after climbing - K7
If able to spend the whole turn moving (If you spend the entire round running, you can move quadruple your speed (or three times your speed in heavy armor), then he can move 30' x 5 (run feat) less the movement cost of the ladder, keeping his AC even when running

Caleban

Caleban was trying to watch the seemingly empty village, when the ranger started yelling. His eyes open wide in disbelief and he is about to say some rather scathing words. And then the goblins come out.

"Congratulations, woodsman, you just won the idiocy contest against goblins. Them are high standards. I would really like to see you hunt. Do you yell at the deer to come?"

With that, Caleban hefts his axe and half runs to the nearest goblin, gathering momentum. And then he swings.

Kasuka watches the Goblin flounder about with the shuriken stuck in its eye before deciding to end its misery. Even creatures as cruel and disgusting as goblins did not deserve such slow, painless deaths. The ninja lines his target while twirling the dagger about in his palm and heaves backward for a heavy-handed throw.

[Bhaakon]

Lethos and Caleban take to the ladders, storming into a pair of filthy but unoccupied shacks and moving to surround the goblins.

Eirik's song does its work, taking a hold of both Kasuka and Theodoric as they charge forward. Kasuka plants his new dagger in the belly of the injured goblin with the Desnan candle, spilling aspiring arsonist's guts before Caleban can bring his axe into play.

Theodoric's attack is oven more spectacular, splitting the shortbow-wielding goblin from veil to garter. "But Reta not chop yet!" gurgles the dying goblin as it crumples.

The initial three foes are fallen, but you immediately discover that they weren't alone. Another trio of goblins pile out of a structure in front of Lethos, lead by a deranged little dancing goblin wearing a skull on its head like a helmet. "Mogmurch make BOOM!" it shouts, hurling a ceramic gernado with a sparking fuze at Theodoric. The bomb misses the mark, but still splatters Kasuka and the Taldan with flaming accelerants when it bursts on the ground.

@Kasuka, Theodoric

3 fire damage each

One of the mad bomber's fellows lights a Desnan candle, launching a shower of sparks and flares that bounce off the soggy slat wall beside Kasuka. The other makes a shrieking charge Lethos, throwing its weight into a stab that glances harmlessly off the elf's magical defenses.

Kasuka clicks his tongue as the flames lick at his back, no worse for wear and glares at the goblin that threw the flames at him. Wordlessly, the fetchling charges in toward the goblin bombardier and throws his weight into a powerful dagger thrust, kicking into the dirt to launch himself the final foot.

Eirik Evensong

The moment the new goblins appeared, Eirik pulled back the string of his shortbow - but his companions were too quick. With Kasuka and Theodric rushing to engage the goblins, the target-rich environment changed into a potential danger zone. He could not take the shot without putting his fellows in danger.

Putting aside his bow, Eirik rushed to the rickety staircase, his hand already moving to unsheathe his blade - and his singing turning even more scathing in its mockery of goblins. The next verse went into quite graphic detail about a goblin getting drunk and amorous with a dog.

Caleban

Caleban curses rather irreverently as he finds himself on the wrong side of the battle. Again. Taking stock of the situation, he sees that he will be probably too late.

"Aaa screw it. I can take them from here"

With that, he takes out one of his daggers and sends it spinning towards the last goblin.

The dagger whistles through the air and buries to the hilt in the goblin 's head. Caleban snarls

"And stay dead. By the way, we needed one of the buggers alive, to learn what happened. Let's hope there are some more around here"

[Bhaakon]

Theodroic charges the nearest goblin with a mighty swing of his greatsword, which misses entirely as the ranger's front foot slips in the mud. The sword lodges deep in the damp planks of the raised walkway, leaving him open to attack as he wrenches it free.

The goblin with the Desnan candle moves to take advantage of Theodoric's misfortune, struggling to bring the lit firework in line with the Taldan, but Caleban stops it short with an expertly thrown dagger. The dead goblin falls backwards, the sputter Desnan candle launching itself from nerveless hand and spinning its way harmlessly off the walkway and into a muddy puddle.

Kasuka follows the Taldan's attack with a more emasured charge of his own, coming in low and launching himself and his dagger up under the bomb-throwers defenses. The skull-capped goblin stumbles back a step as the dagger digs deep into its spindly thigh. "I said make BOOM!" it shrieks, chucking another bomb at Kasuka. The quick Fetchling adroitly bats the grenado aside with his free hand, but not far enough to avoid another splash of flaming reagents.

3 fire damage

Meanwhile, Eirik moves to nearest ladder, intent on joining Lethos on the walkways. Not that the elf needs the help, with his latest opponent lying in two bloody halves at his feet.

Deeper in the ramshackle village, another door bangs open and six more goblins spill forth, their leader decked out in a fairly well-maintained chain shirt. The creature starts caterwauling some sort of personal battle cry, as is often the wont of goblins:

Poog say Zarongel is the best,
He help burn things and heal the rest.
Zarongel’s favor makes Poog blessed.
And Poog also stab you with knife if
you make fun of how he isn’ t good at
riding animals.

To punctuate his performance, the angry little cleric of Zarongel launches a bolt of fire that grazes Theodoric's face.

Eirik Evensong

Seeing his friends engaging the enemy, Eirik cursed and finally made his way up onto the platform. Keeping his blade at hand, he looked around to see that for signs of more goblins. Most of them seemed to be filing out of the opening where Lethos was casting a spell, but considering how quiet it had been, Eirik did not wish to take any chances. He did not wish them to get flanked by more goblins just waiting for a chance to get behind them.

Theodoric retreats back near the shattered gate of the complex, unshouldering his bow to deliver a deadly Parthian shot to the skull-capped bomb thrower while he backpedals.

With a clear path, Lethos stalks towards the loudmouthed Poog and raises a hand, delivering a scintillating blast of flashing lights designed to dazzle and confuse.

"Oooh" responds the goblin priest, obviously impressed by the light show. He stands entranced only until flashes fade, while the goblin behind him begins convulsing and foaming at the mouth. "Now is Poog's turn to make pretty colors!" The toothy little cleric exclaims, waving his fingers to produce a wave of flames that washes over Lethos.

3 fire damage, Reflex DC 13 for 1 damage

In the wake of Poog's burning hands spell, a pair of goblins from further back in line jump down to the ground and charge forward parallel to the raised walkway. One muffs the landing, and struggles back to its feet with an eruption of curses while the other sprints forward to slash at Lethos ineffectually.

Caleban rumbles along the walkways, blasting through a few flimsy wicker doors to reach the goblins from behind. His mad dash doesn't go unnoticed, as two of the goblins wheel to meet him with dogslicers in hand. The first swings wide, gouging a wall instead of its target. The second is a bit cagier, making an exaggerated stab which suddenly turns into a backhanded slash that digs into Caleban's forearm.

Eirik Evensong

Once more able to contribute to the chaotic fray, Eirik's tune changes to a more victorious song as he pulls out his shortbow. Just like shooting rabbits, the Ulfen bard thought to himself as he released his first shaft, the green-fletched arrow aimed at one of the goblins swarming around his friend Caleban.

As Caleban's axe flies high, the cleverer of his two opponents darts low and scores another shallow cut, this time to the unarmored spot behind his knee. The other hangs back cautiously, impressed by the Half-orc's ability to swing about such an enormous weapon.

Eirik and Theodoric both support Lethos with archer, or at least try to. One arrow plants itself firmly in the wall, well above the head of its target. The other falls short, rattling among the ramshackle supports of the raised walkway.

Kasuka slinks out from between buildings to strike at a goblin harassing Lethos from behind, but he slips as he stabs forward, spoiling his aim entirely. Fortunately, a second goblin is too busy charging towards Lethos to see the young rogue, giving Kasuka an opportune opening.

Eirik Evensong

Dammit, too close again, Eirik cursed as he reached for a new arrow. The goblins were too closely packed with his comrades for him to loose another arrow without risking hitting someone who wasn't three feet tall and a pyromaniac.

But perhaps there is another way...

Eirik stashed his bow and arrow and started alternating the flow of his bardic song, weaving a spell as he chanted. When the twin flows of bardic music and his own natural knack for magic were released, the rickety planks beneath some of the goblins suddenly grew sleek and shiny with an oil-like substance.

Spoiler

Eirik casts grease on the following squares: F12, F13, G12 and G13. Poog and the two goblins (one of whom probably gains consciousness soon) need to succeed in a DC 14 Reflex save or fall. The effect lasts for one minute - or 12 rounds.
