    Altair

    "Altair Silverbrook, duelist and orator extraordinaire. he says, shaking Lethaniel's hand. "At your service."

    "What most people fail to understand is the reason why I tell the tales that I do." he smiles as he goes off on a tangent. "They think that I do this to entertain and to earn some easy coin. Well I assure you that it is in no way easy, and it is not the only reason."

    "I do it to inspire and teach. Things such as, 'A small group have the power to change the world', 'Diplomacy can go a long way', and 'To judge a being by their own deeds, not that of their race.'"

    "And in spirit of these teachings,"
    his grin seems to grow a little wider, "I must ask if you'd be willing to share a drink with me."

    Lethaniel

    "Well Altair I might have a tale or two for you to spread." shaking altair's hand "Seeing that not many of my kind share my spiritual views, I look to spread good will to all the surface dwelling races specifically my cousins for Eilastraee has commanded me to do so. But perhaps this story should be shared over some elvish wine." Waits for Altair to lead to a tavern.

    Altair

    "I know of just the place, too. The Blind Eye!" he gestures, leading the way. "I am meeting some acquaintances there. Hopefully they won't have the reaction that I expect them too."

    When they finally make it to the tavern, he enters and sits down at the table with the others. "My friends, this is Lethaniel; far from his home, and looking for work. Lethaniel, this is Rasta and Vardin." he gestures to each of them. "Also far from home."

    When Lethaniel enters the tavern, the dull roar of the filled tavern diminishes, all conversations halted mid-sentence. The only spoken words now were mutterings of fear, and outward disdain for drow that had entered their midst. In fact many patrons decide that they've finished their meals, and storm out into the streets. This caused the usually-passive barkeeper to glare at him, but not to do anything yet.

    Vardin

    When Altair and the drow enter the Blind Eye, Vardin is a bit surprised. He gives a glance to both, and a questioning look to Altair before nodding to Lethaniel.

    It is hard not to notice the difference in the atmosphere in the room as the duo enter. Vardin makes sure that he is in a location that is defensible in case the crowd takes it's prejudices a bit too far. Although he is not immediately accepting of the drow, he has been around enough and in enough positions to judge people by their actions and not where they come from.

    Lethaniel

    Looking around it becomes clear that lethaniel is not going to be served so he promptly excuses himself and walks over to the bar and asks for some elvish wine as he places a couple pieces of gold on the bar. Reluctantly the barkeep takes his gold pieces and gives him a goblet that he fills up. Satisfied with getting a goblet of wine lethaniel returns and sits back down. Leaning close to Altair he whispers "I shouldn't stay in one place to long for I don't want him to appear and cause trouble, though I am rather certain I had lost him the last time I cannot be entirely sure." Takes a drink of wine and puffs on his pipe.

    Sighs, then takes another puff on his almost spent pipe. "A creature that lives below the surface like my kind does, I haven't had much exposure to his particular species but in the drow communities they are called grimlocks. More than likely he has been dispatched to eliminate me for 'betraying' my people. The seem to have a single minded focus when it comes to tasks, especially when it comes to hunting. That is why I don't stay in one place to long." Ponders for a moment while he takes another drink from his goblet.

    OOC: alright, Encounter has started. If anyone was going to do anything within like, 5 seconds of Armyveteran's last post, you can post it at the begining of your next reply, otherwise, we're in combat.

    Initiative and Battle Grid have been updated
    You can assume there are more attackers, and there are people in town fending them off, but for simplicity, these are the number you have to worry about.

    Since only Rigel is actually in a position to be "in combat", you can all feel free to post several rounds worth of turns to speed things up, as long as your actions don't depend on others' actions. (For example, you have to run out of the tavern, then run out of the city, then you attack, depending on your speed, that may take 2 or 3 rounds)


    GOBLINS!! The shout rings through the entire town, and the town erupts in a flurry of running bodies, and shouting people. The few people that are left in the tavern all scurry away, most of them heading to the back, but some heading out front to meet up with their families.

    "Yeh bastards better get up or get out, 'cuz I'm shuttin' this place" The bartender growls as he runs out from behind the bar.

    OOC: For Rigel, and you're first for initiative.

    After the shout, everyone that was outside, immediately runs inside. Within seconds, only a dozen or so people are left, and they're still running like mad to their destination. The only people left are a score of warriors at the gates.
    "Close the gates!" The order is passed along the guards, who set about running to the edge of the large, wheeled gates. The other warriors either with bows drawn climb over the gate, or with sword and axe rush out the gates to meet the intruders head on.

    After the shout sounded, a score of goblins leapt out of the light brush a couple hundred feet away, and have begun to charge the city.

    Altar

    Altair was into his second biscuit when he hears the call to arms, he quickly bolts for the door along with the others. While running to the gates, he grabs the crossbow off his back and swiftly loads it. Spilling blood certainly wasn't his idea of a good time, but like hell as he about to let anyone in the city get hurt.

    "I was witness to an attack like this when I was young." the bard says once he reaches the gates, "It was stopped by a single man, not unlike those of us who stand here right now. Only when he stopped the attackers, he only had some fishing line and a rusted sword. With us as defenders, we should suffer nary a scratch!"

    Altair will stop next to Rasta, then use his Inspire Courage on his allies.

    So thats +1 morale bonus to all attack and damage rolls, so remember to factor that in, guys.

    OOC:
    Alright, Rigel doesn't seem to be responding, so I've moved initiative up 1, doing the actions you've said. Altair hasn't reached rasta, so he'll use bardic music next round, and rasta hasn't cast magic fang yet, so he will too. Vardin could see the goblins after only a move, so he's done his action.
    What this means is Lethaniel is a go, then Vardin, Then I'll go through with the other two's actions, and goblins. After that we'll move on, I'll NPC Rigel until he posts something.

    Through the Raging battle between archers, goblins and brave warriors, a large group has broken off, and started rushing the gates. More shouts of "CLOSE THE GATES" Ring out, despite how clear it is they won't be in time to stop them.

    Vardin

    As he rushes towards the gate, Vardin realizes that the goblins will make it in before they will get there. Concentrating for a moment, he mumbles a few syllables and thrusts his arm out as if he is throwing something. Instantly a sticky web appears just outside the gates, trapping any that may be in the area.

    Those won't hold long. Get those gates closed.

    He will continue on towards the battle, but will stop about 20' from any opponent that is not engaged.

    Spoiler
    Show

    Still moving towards the gate. Cast web just outside the gate. Will last for 50 minutes.

    Of course, if Lethaniel is outside the gates, I will try something different. The idea is to get the gates closed with all the "people" inside and only block out goblins.

    I like the map. Is there a way that we can get the rows and columns indexed. Kinda like a spreadsheet. That would make it easier to say, I cast a web centered on b5 or something. Either way, this works for now.

    I'm sorry, my redo-ing of the map didn't work correctly the first time, it should be up and fine now.

    Vardin can cast web and get a lot of goblins and leave lethaniel out of it.

    Great idea, I will work on it and upload a new map with chess-like markings within a few hours. For now i'll just put the web in a convenient spot, but you should be able to later.

    A few goblins make their way through the gates, one of them meeting directly with Lethaniel's blade and falling to the ground. Vardin finishes his spell, webs sprouting forth from the open walls, barring passage and entangling one goblin. Ellas meets up with the others, telling his tale to all that will listen. Rasta dismounts, and casts his spell. The one goblin breaks free of the web, and the only goblin on this side of the web both turn and rush Lethaniel, one nearly tripping over his own foot, but the other landing a deft blow on Lethaniel's arm.

    While the guards slowly start to close the gate, the rest of the goblins come up to the web barracade, and a few of them start to look through their bags.

    After the goblins assault Lethaniel, Lexus holds out his arm and sends forth a blast of raw magic, that flies right by one of the goblin's head, crashing harmlessly against the ground.

    Lethaniel downed the goblin he attacked, Vardin's spell created a web wall that blocks passage. The goblin that was entangled passed his reflex, then broke out. Lethaniel takes 4 damage from the strike.
    Lexus used an eldritch blast, but missed.

    Vardin's attack streaks by the group, the ray hitting the gate and causing a small cluster of ice to form. Lethaniel thrusts his rapier forward, and as Altair's tale catches his ear, it inspires him to push forward his attack catching the goblin in the heart as he tries to jump aside, and he lets out a scream, falling to the ground.
