The New Adventurers! (IC)

[Ricky S]

Sargrin upon noticing the danger presented by the casters immediately targets one, steps forward to gain line of sight to the goblin and unleashes a magic missile from his wand.

sargrin takes a 5 ft step diagonally forwards.
Magic missile [Roll]1d4+1[/Roll]

Brandon springs to his feet at the sound of the whistle. Rushing to the South, Brandon draws his bow, picks a target, and shoots.

"Xaaten, help Edgar!"

Spoiler: OOC; A&D

Show

Moving 20 ft. to the South. I believe my longbow has enough range to hit caster #5 without penalty. Brandon is readying an action to shoot at him should he start to cast again. If he doesn't, the arrow will be released towards soldier #1.

"Well, it appears he has been spotted." Dexter looks at the odds, but the feature most catching his eye is the goblin charging their general direction. He trains the borrowed crossbow and squeezes the trigger, letting loose a bolt with a loud 'TWANG!'

The mighty Xaaten Roul is already crouched and with his hands on the ground, just waiting for the starting whistle. "Always stepping in a mess." He takes off like a bullet across the field.

Spoiler: Actions

Show

Using a Run action to move 100 feet diagonally Southeast, which should put me 10 feet away from 4 and star.

That halfling can run... Sargrin mutters under his breath, while catching a glimpse of Xaaten sprinting across the field through the corner of his vision.

[Edgar Snow]

Brandon moves into the field, his bow trained on the goblins, awaiting their next threatening move.
Xaaten blows by him in a full tilt run, kicking up a bit of dirt as he comes to a halt.
A bolt of magic and one of steel zip from Sargrin and Dexter, both finding their respective targets. Sargrin's missile makes a beeline toward the caster by the road, while Dexter's shot can't be dodge by the armored goblin nearby.

Sorry for the delay!

[Edgar Snow]

Edgar's first shot pierces the caster's gut. It quickly keels over in front of him, a soft this as he hits the ground. His follow up shot [at 3?] hits the grass.

The soldier (2) on the road slowly moves forward, obviously acting cautiously as he approaches. The caster (5) near him follows his actions while cowering behind the soldier.

Seeing no magical acts, Brandon takes a shot at the soldier nearest to him but it goes wide. The soldier (1) then charges Brandon. His morningstar attack is deadly accurate, but not deadly strong.
Brandon takes 3 damage!

With Xaaten slightly off balance from his tear across the field, he can't manage to dodge the dagger from the nearly naked goblin (3) close to him.
Xaaten takes 2 damage!

Status:

Barely flinching under the blow, Brandon throws his bow at the charger, draws his greatsword and swings.

[Mordae]

Dexter jerks back the latch to the locked position and jams another bolt into his crossbow. Quickly sighting it, he aims to Brandon's at the uninjured soldier goblin, trying to convince it to remain away. If the soldier appears poised to double-team Brandon, he will drop his crossbow and advance to join the fray. "I think we have their attention now," he comments blithely to the wand-wielding mage at his side.

Reload and fire at #2.

Attack - (1d20+5)[16]

Crit confirm - (1d20+5)[24]
Crit damage - (1d6)[2]

Move action readied to advance 30' while dropping crossbow and drawing rapier, only if #2 moves to engage Brandon. If #2 is headed toward Sargrin and Dexter, Dexter will stay put and switch to the rapier at the beginning of his next action.

[fyleisch]

By now Edgar knows well enough not to intervene in the halfling's battles, as the small warrior is as likely to jump into the path of the arrow as thank him. Instead he moves a few steps towards the road, stopping to crouch beside the closest goblin, and trying to save the undeserving creature's life.

"Come on little spell-slinger. No need for you to die if we can help it."

Spoiler

Show

Move just to the left of 6, and use
Heal (First Aid): (1d20+2)[8]

Edit: Suddenly confused by initiative. I'm assuming I am acting on the same init as the rest of the party (Edgar (surprise) -> Goblins -> Edgar whistles -> All Party -> Goblins -> All Party -> etc. If I'm out of turn hopefully this will still be relevant later.

[wkwkwkwk1]

Trading blows with the goblin, Brandon yells out between swings, "Hey, Edgar - KYAAAA - I appreciate the noble gesture of healing them, but can we - ungh - please focus on not dying ourselves?"

[Kelvin360]

Xaaten laughs harshly and ducks into the dagger, staring into the goblins eyes so it can see him unflinchingly take the blow and then charge right at the creature, his scythe spinning and whirring in a flurry of steel death around him.

Spoiler: Actions

Moving and attacking. I should have enough movement speed to cover the distance.

[Edgar Snow]

The goblin watches as Brandon grabs for his sword and strikes when his hands are occupied. His follow up swing with the large blade is dodged by the goblin.
Brandon takes 3 damage!

Dexter's bolt is on target, but the goblin he has targeted throws its shield in the way to take the force of the bolt.

Edgar tries to stops a bleeding wound, but taking out the arrow to apply pressure seems like a bad idea after the fact. The caster remains in poor condition.

Xaaten has no issues driving his scythe through the chest of his recent attack. As he pulls away, the goblin, falls in a heap.

[fyleisch]

"You're... he's right," Edgar says to himself, too quietly for Brandon to hear. "It's like the book says. To truly know and understand the world, you have to detach yourself from it."

He pulls his hands back from the wounded goblin, feeling a wrenching sensation in his heart.

Sargrin replies to Dexter We really do, lets push our advantage of surprise and not give the goblins time to react

Sargrin locks eyes with the spellcaster just before he hides behind the goblin in front of him. With a flourishing movement of his hand Sargrin casts a sleep spell. He continues very slowly walking forward keeping his attention on the goblins

Sleep spell, will negates, 4hd worth. Save dc 15. Im trying to target the hiding goblin. Sargrin takes another 5 ft step forward.

[Mordae]

With the other goblins reluctant to charge and Brandon sore pressed by his lone opponent, Dexter drops the crossbow, draws his rapier as he hastens to his ally's side, and lunges in. "Come, Zelda, let us put your steel where my mouth is."

[Edgar Snow]

The caster Sargrin was staring down seems to shrug off the effect. His armored partner glows faintly for a moment, a spell's effect going off, but it is not enough. The soldier falls asleep.

Goblins!
The caster (5) yells and finally slaps the soldier (2) in front of him. Awoken, he stands up, and grabs his morningstar from the ground. He seems to busy waking up to do much more.

The other soldier strikes at Brandon. This time, the blow glances off his armor, leaving him uninjured.

The rest seem unable to recover from their wounds.

PCs' TURN!

Once again, Brandon slashes with his sword, hoping for a hit.

And hit he does, nearly cleaving the goblin in two just below its chest!

Spoiler: Dexter!

Feel free to adjust because Brandon killed your target first. Otherwise, you'll just be moved next to the body.

With Brandon now in the clear and the other soldier down, Dexter reloads his crossbow and trains it on the standing caster. "Be mine arc true, from me to you..." he mutters as he lets the bolt fly.

Even with the soldier acting as a meaty shield (aka cover), Dexter's bolt able to hit the target. The caster does half a spin before falling to the group after the bolt goes through one side of its chest.

Goblin 5: 8 damage, dying.

With that shot, only the soldier on the road remains...

(Xaaten, Edgar to act)

[Kelvin360]

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHH!"

One of the last sounds that goblin warrior will hear, most likely, as the barbarian screams gleeful, bloody murder, breaking into another dead sprint and whirling his scythe around himself like an absolute madman.

Noticing his resistance to his sleep spell Sargrin simply points his wand at the goblin caster and lets a magic missile fly towards him.

"On the other hand," Edgar considers, brightening "he might have useful information! We can't let that just vanish."

Edgar reaches out to place a hand on the dying goblin's forehead, muttering the words to a holy incantation, and channeling positive energy into the bleeding form.

Spoiler

Show

Edgar sacrifices a prepared Read Magic to cast Cure Minor Wounds on 6, the dying caster.

[Edgar Snow]

With the wide open field, there is nothing to stop the Mighty Xaaten from zipping across the field again.

Edgar's touch is enough to stop the blood flowing from the hole in the Goblin's gut left by his arrow.

Goblins!

The remaining soldier meets Xaaten's approach with his spiked mace.
Xaaten takes 3 damage!

PCs TURN!

Despite the small melee (pun intended), Sargrin's missile has no issue finding its target. The soldier is hit on his side with a pop!

[Edgar Snow]

Xaaten's curses are more on point than his accuracy. The remaining soldier dodges the farming implement with a quick back-step.

[fyleisch]

Waiting until Xaaten looks away, Edgar stands and quickly lines up a shot on the last goblin left standing.

Spoiler

Show

Attack (Shortbow): (1d20+5)[17] for (1d6)[3]

I didn't apply any range penalties, so -2 to that if Edgar is between 60 and 120 feet.

[Mordae]

Dexter jams another crossbow bolt into the contraption and lines up a shot, but holds his fire as he sees Xaaten close to battle. If the goblin runs away such that Dexter gets a clear line, he'll let loose.

Spoiler: Actions

Ready action: fire if goblin withdraws out of melee range with Xaaten. No sense firing into melee when we're winning.

Xaaten's wild flailing makes it difficult for Edgar to shoot around him (missed because of cover). The arrow lands by the Goblin's foot.

Dexter takes aim, waiting for his chance to fire...

No big change, but thought I'd update while I'm here.
