Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
July 22, 1500, Dusk :
When you look into the portal, you can see some light coming from upstair where you notice an hobgoblin and a bugbear checking out comething on the ground. There seem to be some creatures, greenskinned enemies, also checking out things into the guard room beyong then.
The hobgoblin notice the portal, look your way and yell something, but you dont hear a thing as the portal dont let the sound pass throught.
Flammemorte look at the portal and as she sees the scenery beyong she say, "Look like the other end isnt deserted. While the portal is a one way thing path, they still can see us. I suggest that you dont waste too much time if you dont want them to organise themselves too much."
Aparently answering the call from the hobgoblin, a small goblin wearing simple clothes and with a stone mace enter the portal room coming from the guard room. He look at the portal, and look at the heroes and say few things to his allies and readies himself.
Spoiler
Combat time (well if you choose to go in)
Let get this thing rolling.
Note that you all are aorund the portal in Flammemorte mansion, so you can step directly into it and do your first square of movement to enter any square in the portal (G14, G15, H14 or H14) then keep going from there in the room (I placed your tokens on the side until you move in)
GC 3: Move : move to F9 Standard : Ready an action.
Note that GC3 have superior cover (using the lowwall and look by the arrowslith)
The portal is in (G14/H15).
The ground around the portal (E10/J15) is 10 feet lower that the rest of the floors.
There is a lone stairway leading up to the ret of the place (G8/H9)
The green line is a low wall (on the higher ground) with arrowsliths made to protect those up there.
The enemies you killed are still there (Corpse with yellow halo).
GC are goblins with cloth and stone hammer.
HG are hobgoblins with leather armor, light shields and longsword
BB are bugbears leather, greatsword and a few handaxes.
GS are goblins with chainmail, light shield, spears,handcrossbow and crossbow.
Creatures with (T) carry torches.
The dark shade over the map represent area in darkness (you still can see the whole map because you already know it - that is what you remember it to be)

Monique get ready to get attacked and rush in. As she walks into the portal, she feel an small rush of speed and ends up onti the room many miles away. She want to move further, but the goblin behind the protective wall say a few magic words and spiked roots made of stone comes up from the ground bellow her and whirl around her legs. Their graps is strong and painful and Monique cannot escape them, but she have to he keep struggling trying to disloge herself, knowing fully that she is an easy target right now, so she drop prone onto the ground to give some trouble to enemies rangers.
Two more hobgoblins comes from the guard room and with their two other alies they form a line of defense at the top of the stairway, locking their sheilds against their fellow fighter beside them. The torch carrier drop them and they all draw their longsword and get rerady for the heroes.
The bugbear move behind the lowwall and hide. But a few seconds later, he simply throw an handaxe throught the arrowslith at Monique. The axe pass an inch over the bard head hitting the ground behind her instead of spliting her head in two. A second bugbear comes from the guard room and does like his friend. This time, Monique roll aside enough so her protective armor take the hit protecting the woman from further harm.
Spoiler
Monique goes in total defense.
Monique move in and trigger GC 3 readied action.
Immediate interrupt : Readied action : Caveroot curse on Monique, 25 VS reflex, 11 damages and Monnique is restrained (SAve ends).
I assume she wont drop prone in the middle of the room (but if you still want too, tell me)
Monique need to roll a save VS the restrained condition.
BB : Move : they move to form a defensive line atop the stairway (see map) Free : HG3 and HG4 drop their torch (at their feet) Minor : They all draw their longsword Standard : They ready an action.
BB 1: Move : Stealthy positioning, shift his speed to E9 and make a stealth check if cover, Stealth check = 19 (hidden from everyone but Ashe) Minor : Draw handaxe Standard : Throw handaxe at Monique (+2 (CA - Hidden), 24 VS AC, (Miss - Hurray for prone and total defense ... good idea there Monique)
NOT HIDDEN ANYMORE, but got Superior Cover from those bellow

Ashe sprints through the portal and heads towards the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, as he steps on the first step, he suddenly turns to the right and leaps into the air to hook both his hands on to the railing. Continuing his upward momentum, he vaults up into a standing position over the foe in front of him. Taking a moment to focus all of his rage against the enemy, Ashe maintains his balance as he brings his fullblade out of its sheath and around to strike his foe. As the blade makes contact, both Ashe and his target wink from the room only to reappear an instant later down on the lower level.

Monique manage to struggle out of the stone roots.
Ashe sprint into the room up to the stairs and jump up to catch the top of the low-wall. Not stoping a second he use his momentum to flip up and end up standing onto the wall. Grabging his weapon in a two handed grip, he use his elven heritage and strike as hard as he could at the goblin mage. The weapon hit and sink deep into the monster flesh, teleporting both across the room bellow.
The goblin in the guard room move behind the low wall pullin gout an hand crossbow and aim at Monique. His arrow hit the floor just in front of Monique chest, missing her. An other goblin come running across also drawing his small crossbow and shoot at monique. His own arrow doesnt even clear the stairway as it crash into its wall.
Spoiler
First, Ashe pointed out that I played the wrong monster at the start (GC instead of GS).
TO make thing simple, I switched them in their initiave.
Since it did have a greater impact (the restrain), I granted Monique an auto-save VS that effect.
Ashe succeed all his skill checks and hit GC3 and bloody it. (Ouch)

S'been days since I did this. So kind a them ta just cluster up like that all pretty-like, ain't it just? Laisse les bon temps roulez... laughs Ace as he cross through the portal, tipping his hat to Flammemorte. Evenin' gents! We're tonight's entertainment, says Ace, smiling all the while, as his newly enchanted deck fans out in front of him and he selects a single card to toss into the enemy shield wall. It misses all the goblins; perhaps some of them even laugh at him. But soon, a thick, familiar mist begins to rise from the card...

Not a bad openin' hand, but I think I can improve it, brags Ace, readying his deck again. He gives the bugbear on the north battlement a mean look, and then he launches a set of cards, which fly into the air, turn to diamond and then shatter, raining icy shards on the ramparts.

Seeing the room full of goblinoids, the paladin smiles delightedly. "Ah, Holy Sword! My thoughtful friends have even left some for us to fight!" He then enters the room, moving to the stairs to block in the remaining enemy, swinging at one in the way.

DM
As Ace move toward the portal, Flammemorte reply her face serious, "Dont forget to come see me when you're done there."
Ace cross the portal and unleash his magic over the enemy group. It kills two of the hogoblin who swing wildly at the fog hitting each others and affect the goblin who is moved into the stairway by the mind magic. Preparing his next attack, Ace drop his gaze onto the bugbear behind the wall and the creature foolishly look into the vistasini's eyes getting spooked by their intensity. At that moment, Ace cold magic drop onto the bugbear and two of his allies. The hobgoblin manage to resist it, but the two others get half frozen, and the goblin skin even crack up in some spots.
A second later, Bolerum come into the room rushing at the fozen goblin in the stairway. He bring down the artefact sword onto the half-paralized enemy, cutting right throught it as easyly as he would go throught butter, killing the poor creature instantly.
The goblin facing Ashe look terrified as he saw the carnage the heroes are doing. He backpedal a few steps and aim his immobilizing curse onto the elf, but Ashe dance away from the stone root easyly. The small goblin yell, "Nok ther muer!"
his allies hesitate, and the unarmed bugbear yell back, not at the goblin, but at the others fighter, "Las tuer myr! Mirt juir!"

Monique is pleased the combat is going well -- she had been worried going in first would get her more seriously injured. She stands up and aims a spell at the goblin Ashe has marked as his target. Knowing the elf, he'd be able to finish it off with a little push from her.

As Monique aim her power, she loose concentration and completly miss the goblin.
The two remaining hobgoblin were hesitating, but the bugbear words spur them into action and they move into the stairway to engage Bolerum into melee. They try to strike, but Bolerum bring his sword up and block both enemies strikes at once.
The two bugbears move into hidding position again, breaing sight with everyone for a fraction of second. Ashe spot them aiming for Ace and try to warn the human, but it is too late and both thrown weapons hit the vistasini chest. Having almost no physical protection, the weapon both sink deeply, drawing blood and the sorcerer nearly faint out from intense pain.

Ace chaos orb hit the goblin chest and goes right throught it, leaving an hole the size of a fist killing it instantly. The magic projectile doesnt stop there and arc toward one of the hobgoblin tearing half the monster head away to end onto the wall beside the second enemy fighter who look terrified. The sorcerer drop prone into the darkness, hoping not to get shot again.
Bolerum rush throught the hobgoblin, who simply let him pass, and swing at the green-skinned creature. The paladin's strike lack finess and he hit the stone wall instead of the enemy. Not caring much he move toward the bugbear, leaving himself open to attack from both creatures. None manage to deal damage and Bolerum rise Greenbane high and bring it down onto the bugbear shoulder, making it grunt in pain. This demonstration inspire his allies who feel Kord divine presence within themselves and Ace use the chaos flow to enhance the strike and disorient the bugbear a little.
Monique sing a few arcane words to sooth Ace wounds and finish off the scared hobgoblin in the stairway. After that, she weave her magic spuring Ashe toward the enemies.
As Ashe is moved into the stairway, the two bugbear move with great finess and speed, surprising everyone including Bolerum beside one and move into the guard room. Everyone loose sight of one of the bugbear, until an axe comes flying at Ashe and hit him hard on the shoulder. The other bugbear then grab the door and slam it shut yelling to his partner, "Jil kar mhar!"

Ace storm power is easyly resisted by the bugbear.
Ashe is more efficient and deal a staggering blow onto the creature, opening up the monster left arm from shoulder to elbow.
Monique circlet twinkle and disrupt the bugbear, making him forgot a little Bolerum giving him some advantage. She then unleash her power onto the already wounded bugbear and her magic make the monster stagger a little and a small burst even affect the other enemy.
The first bugbear shift away from Ashe but stay in range for Bolerum drawing his greatsword. Once he have room him he lauch a powerful blow at the paladin, but heexpertly line up greenbane and block the blow in a loud clash of metal against metal.
The second bugbear also draw his weapon and swing at the paladin. The weapon hit, but his plate armor absorb the blow leaving him unarmed.
The last goblin is nowhere to be seen, even Ashe keen sense cannot detect him anymore.

The sorcerer grins. Seems t'me like Fortune favours the bold, he chuckles, before striding forward to stand on top of the hobgoblin corpse in the stairs, drawing a card from his deck. He tosses it at the bugbear, and it begins to glow with purple magic as it speeds towards its target.

Bolerum send the injured bugbear to his maker in one fluid swing of Greenbane and challenge the other furry creature.
Coming upstair, Ace stumble onto the enemy corpse making him miss his card throw completly.
Ashe goes around the enemy and flank the creature with the paladin dealing him an other blow.
The bugbear rise his weapon high, a sign that he accept Bolerum challenge and try to hit the paladin, but once again, Bolerum line up his weapon to block the weapon. A few seconds later, the heroes focused effort bring down the strong creature.
Spoiler
Looking at the situation, this is a done combat and since it was a new round I simply decided to narate the rest.
I rolled one last attack (22 VS Ac on Bolerum... an other block for Greenbane!!).
You guys dispatch it in the nest round.
There is still an other goblin, but he isnt anywhere you can see him (he fled)...é what do you do?
Combat XP : 250 each, rising your total to : 6700 XP.
