[Blue_C.]

Mi'lassk

Sidling along on his rat legs, Mi'lassk attempts to work his way around his opponent, so the goblin is caught between Tolarian and himself. Then with screech he lunges forward again, this time aiming for the throat.

Oh, for the love of.... Maor thinks to himself. I'm going to kill that elf by shoving that goblin's head down his throat!

"Jathrax! I meant the Red Dog! I meant to take down this Red Dog!" Maor screams with fury.

This is going to hurt. I know it.

Maor prepares himself mentally for the Hell Hound attack.

Talorian - Round 3

"Excuse me for a moment won't you, this little puppy is demanding my attention"

Talorian bows slightly to the hobgoblin, before turning to face the Hellhound.

"Who's a good puppy then, are you a good puppy? Do you want a belly scratch?"

Huukec

Huukec lips curve into a small smirk as he flies over the battle between the hound and the shifter.

"I dare say, Maor, was that sarcasm I heard?"

The goblin pulls out a bit of pork rind and crushes it in his hand, then waves his hands and chants.

A great spread of slippery grease appears below the hell hound.

OOC: I'm casting grease. The 10-ft. square should cover squares E14, E13, F14, and F13.

Mi'lassk manages to get a flanking position, but his attempt to attack the hobgoblins throat, almost ends with Mi'lassk impaled in the hobgoblins armor.

Dalton's bolt strikes the hound near its front legs, it yelps as his skins seems to be peeling near the area.

Maor's arrow hits the hobgoblin, who pulls it out of his skin, and roar defiantly.

Tolarian's defensive strikes continues to be easily deflected by his opponent., but so are his opponent counterstrikes. The hound;s attack seem even less effective.

As Huukec begin to fly higher, he spots bad news. 2 hobgoblins are running from the farmhouse towards the battle, one clad in heavy armor (Z), and one wearing robes, and a fancy staff (U). And worse yet, 6 more archers are approaching from the road (about 60 ft off the edge of the map).

Huukec seems effective as the hell hound falls sideways and struggles to get back up.

#3 takes a shot at the approaching Jathrax, hitting him for [5] damage. #6 continues his wild swings.

Rolling in advance to determine roleplay thingdings. I'll be using my Cloak of Deception Boost to gain Greater Invisibility as per the spell until the end of my current turn. So I'll attack Goblin #3 with the Scimitar and Shortsword. Nothing fancy. He'll run to the square one north of goblin #3.

Edit: Ooph, disgusting rolls.

Never done Two Weapon Fighting before, so are both attacks rolled at highest attack bonus, or is the second rolled at lower attack bonus? I'm assuming the first, since what would all those level two rangers do!

Erm. I seem to be having issues with posting.
FREAKING STUPID ROLLER! Sorry for the weird deletes. I keep getting [rollX] since the thing won't post properly. My internet at home is less than satisfactory.

Dalton

Seeing the hellhound he hit disabled (and several teammates in the line of fire), he turns his attention to the other one at J17, he reloads his crossbow, takes a 5-foot step to D19 and fires a bolt at the beast.

More bad guys? The moment Mi'lassk manages to drop the hobgoblin, he's going to use a swift action to shapechange into his normal form.

Recovering from his overbalance, Mi'lassk tries to gnaw on the goblin target. While his eyes are a bit too low to the ground to take note of his allies wounds, he smells the blood on the air, and guesses that it isn't all from their enemies.

Maor Moonclaw

Seeing as the situation was about to get even worse than it is, Maor begins to think as fast as he can.

More archers coming, along with some kind of warrior and a wizard of sorts. This could be troublesome. I need to take out that blind Hobgoblin first, it has potential to do damage.

Without thinking twice, Maor grabs an arrow and lets it go on the easy target. "Jathrax! Kill that Hobgoblin! I don't want to hear him speak!" He says to Jathrax, pointing at Hobgoblin #3 and shortly after looks up. "Goblin. Blast everything! Use one of them Fireballs!"

Then he proceeds to move, he ignores the Hell Hound and enters the woods, passes the flaming Hobgoblin. After that he takes cover and hides. Maor's message should be easy to understand now. The Hobgoblin closer to them can see where he is hidden and can alert other enemies of Maor's location

Nodding to Mi'lassk he smiles at the flanked hobgoblin.

"Now you sir, seem to be in a most unsafe position, might I suggest relocating to a less life threatening location?"

He then launches a Rapier thrust at the Hellhound, while trying to catch the Hobgoblin off guard with a dagger thrust to belly.

Unfortunately, shifter, I am not able to "use one of them fireballs" right now. I did not prepare it today.

Huukec flies over toward the newcomers, gaining 10 ft. altitude before stalling at G7. He then shifts his hands a bit and says a few quick incantations. Three bolts of glowing red energy spring from his hand, ambling towards the newcomer in robes.

OOC: Casting magic missile, all three missiles hitting the new robed guy.

Jathrax invisible strikes catch the hobgoblin off guard, but fail to pierce his armor.

#4 screams in pain as Mi'lassk bite off a chunk of leg, he tries to retaliate , but the blood loss is just too much and falls unconscious.

Dalton's bolt just bounces off the balancing hound's hide.

Maor's shot catches the creature in the throat. The hobgoblin hit the ground with a thud.

With the hobgoblin dead Tolarian now finds himself in a stalemate with the hound, neither target able to strike cleanly.

Huukec's missile strike their target, like the often do. The robe creature stops turns towards the goblin, and smiles. He utters a few arcane words, flicks his wrist and fills the goblin wizard with dread.

Huukec is shaken for 1 round.

The second hell hound manages to get out of the greasy area, and start growling at Dalton.

Z charges Jathrax. "You can not stand against us, you are doomed!" he strikes at the elf with his morningstar, but Jathrax deflects the blow at the last second.

6 more hobgoblins appear near the road. At U's orders 3 draw their swords and prepare to continue forward, will 3 stop and take firing position.

Mi'lassk

With the hobgoblin fallen beneath him, Mi'lassk rears backwards, away form the hound. He is left standing precariously on his hind legs, which slowly lengthen and broaden as the rat skin melts away, revealing his normal form. "Maybe we could use an ally or two of our own in this fight?" he asks the world at large.

He uses his eye and holy symbol to define a small circle in the distance and bows to it, expecting creatures to appear within it.

Dalton's bolt flies wide of the hound.

Maor's arrow stick into the robed figure's chest, the creature seems visibly hurt, but there is not a single scream or grunt in pain.

Tolarian finally manages to connect, delivering two clean blows to the hound. Its retaliation strike comes close to connecting, but Talorian's defensive stand is just too good. Seeing this, the second hound charges Tolarian in anger, but it also misses.

Huukec's acidic arrow finds it mark, further injuring the hurt caster.

#3 drops his bow, draws a sword and strikes at the elemental in front of him, hurting it for [4] damage.

U launches 2 force missiles towards Maor for a total of [7] damage. And then moves behind, the approaching troops, clearly injured.

r1-r3 double move towards the melee to their left. r4-r6 move into better firing positions, and let loose a volley of arrows. One strikes Dalton critically for [8] damage. The other 2 are aimed at the elemental, one hitting the uninjured elemental for [9] damage, the second striking #3 cleanly.

His heart keeps pounding his chest harder and hander. Anger fills his veins. He knows he shot true and knows that the robed Hobgoblin should be dead.

"Why... won't... you... DIE!" He screams as he releases another arrow at the robed Hobgoblin-U and passes just between two grunts.

Maor's features turn more like a predator, his eyes glow blood red. His body turns bigger and meaner. The shifter has shifted. "The beast shall hunt now." Maor says with a wicked smile filled with bloodlust.

He moves closer to the Hobgoblins, leaves his Bow just behind him and draws his sword, wielding it with both hands and preparing for combat.

Jatharx breaks free of the enchantment affecting him, and gets in position to defend himself against incoming attacks.

Mi'lassk get's into flanking position of the hell hound, and slashes with his sickle, causing a deep wound in its flank. The beast falls and begins to smolder, eventually banishing. Mi'lassk's elementals go on the offensive. One smacks Z rather hard, the other misses attacks a hobgoblin in front of it, missing.

Dalton's bolt once again misses the still living hound.

Maor's arrow once again strikes U. The victim staggers for a few steps, manages to regain its balance for a seconds, but ultimately collapses.

Tolarian's fails to pierce to the hound's hide, and his tumble attempt is comically poor (nat 1 ), and the beast bites him for [8] damage, 4 of it fire damage.

Z tries to cast defensively, but Jathrax notices an opening and quickly slashes. The cleric's chanting stops abruptly as it falls to the ground.

As both their leaders fall some of the bandits begin to run. r1, r5, and r6 are about 20 feet of the edge of the map. The ones already in combat continue to fight for their lives, destroying both elementals.

r4 feels a momentary burst of courage and fires at Tolarian. As his arrow misses, his courage fades and he begins to flee.

The hell hound follows his apparently fleeing prey, but fails to wound him.
