The messengers

[obliged_salmon]

Dafydd

Dafydd looks somewhat relieved and grateful as his friends gather about him. Still, he realizes they probably look somewhat unimpressive up against these four behemoths, and he sincerely hopes the fight won't come to lethal blows.

[mdsoze]

Lorrick

Lorrick stands, and looks the men in the eye.

Are we all so nervous here that mere words stir us to brawl in a bar? I've been in my share of fights, and I can't say one ever made anyone feel better. Let me get you a drink.

[amanodel]

The four human lumberjacks stand in a line. They are quite big, and they look pretty tough. Their will to fight only rises as the other two demihumans, Ozz and Dagg appears next to Daffydd. Lorrick's words don't have any effect on them, as they are more interested in beating up a some wild elf than in another round of ale.


(Waiting to see if someone else wants to join the fight.)

kaz

Kaz gets up with a sigh, almost reluctant to leave his lunch. He gives a snide smile to the lumberjacks and says "I'd say 'let's all just get along' but where would the fun in that be? He stands up, trying to give the illusion that he is bigger than he is. "You sure you want to do this? I've fought kobolds bigger than you fools."

Lorrick

Sensing the fight ready to start, Lorrick speaks.

If we're gonna do this, let's go outside. Out of respect for the tavernkeeper. We're all gonna want drinks afterwards.

[Dethcom1]

Dagg

"Very true, damaging a tavern would be inthinkable." He waits for the lumberjacks to move first, and if they do not, he will walk somewhat arrogantly to the door.

[amanodel]

For a moment, the lumberjacks seem to hesitate.. Then, suddenly the one called Tom raises his bear-sized fist, and starts a punch, aiming for Dafydd's head. But the wildelf was quick and ducked his head from the punch.

Combat begins. Tom's first strike was the surprise round. Roll initiatives and your first-round actions. If someone doesn't wish to engage in the fight, he can just sit at the table until the others finish this. The woosdmen's initiatives are: Tom (17), Sam (20), Matt (15), David (5).

[obliged_salmon]

Dafydd

Dafydd sees what looks like an opening, pulls in close and attempts to deliver a bruising right hook to Tom. Meanwhile, he taunts him, "Well, I don't usually go around training dogs, but every once in a while I'll make an exception!"

Use goad against Tom. If Tom is knocked out by then, Dafydd hits the next nearest one.

Ozzgar the Wolf
HP: 16/16; AC: 17, touch 14, flat 14

The red-skinned goblin growls as he launches himself at the burly man opposite him. "Roo-in a fair loonch an' a pritty day, nae?" BIGGOTS!" he hollers as he tries to hit the lumberjack.

Stupid, stupid people. Okay. I'll take... THAT one!

Lorrick picks out one of the men at random, and attempts to grapple him, provoking an AoO.

[amanodel]

Ozzgar is quick to act. The goblin attacks the human named David, but he can't reach the chin of the tall human. David tries to kick Ozz, but misses the fast goblin.

Kaz kicks Tom in the head, but the large lumberjack shakes off the hit, and sports a wicked smile as he spits blood to the floor.

Sam attacks Dagg, but the slow puch goes over the dwarf's head. Dagg tries to bring the man to the ground. As he tries to get a hold on the man, Sam puches him hard in the chin (5 damage). This disorients Dagg enough to miss his attempt on the wrestle.

Tom swings his fist again, aiming at Daffydd, but the agile paladin evades the strike again. Dafydd steps within the reach of the man, and puches him with a strong hook. But even after the strike of Kaz and Dafydd, he remains standing.

Matt attacks Lorrick, but he misses. Lorrick tries to grapple the lumberjack, but he's just too strong for Lorrick, and knocks away him.

The barkeeper quickly gathers the most expensive bottles, and quickly withdraws into a storage room.

Dafydd
HP: 20 AC: 16 (w/o shield)

Dafydd tries, if possible, to get into a flanking position with Kaz around Tom. From there he attempts to deliver a punishing elbow to Tom's jawbone. "Obviously, here is a man well-versed at hitting trees and other stationary objects. If I were a tree, sir, I would be afraid indeed," he jeers.

Dagg

This one has a bit of fight in him! I'll have to say sorry now, though. I haven't quite recovered from that rabid monkey bite. I think I may be infected. Ah, well, this fight may not be the most exciting to you folk."

Giving up grappling, he tries to simply punch the human in the gut.

[obliged_salmon]

Dafydd
HP: 13 AC: 16

Dafydd spits the blood from a newly dislodged tooth out of his mouth, briefly wishing there was some way to put armor there. "That little flea swatter you call a fist is what I've been worried about this whole time? How silly of me." After his show of bravado, Dafydd attempts to deliver a solid uppercut to the woodsman, despite having to reach a fair distance to hit the chin.

Dafydd
HP: 13 AC: 16

Dafydd grins at the satisfying *crash* of his opponent, and shakes his fist slightly at the sting he was feeling. He quickly surveys the rest of the fight, and, noticing the goblin facing a creature who must be at least four times his mass, decides to jump in and help. He manages to boast, "These folks seem awfully lazy, they like to take naps in the middle of a fight!"
