[Can Veonis see what is in the hole? as I recall he have low-light vision]

[The angle's no good. You'd have to go down the stairs to see much. All that's visible is the beginning of a stone tunnel.]

[Jorbles]

"Watch for traps. Goblins love traps."

[WinterSpartan]

(Who's going in first? How are you going in - sneaking, attacking the first thing you say, calling out greetings?)

[Kuildeous]

[Is it reasonable to assume that the first two people can see what's ahead when forced to walk single file? If so, then Hroksull could take second since he  has a good Perception. Probably should have someone with high defenses be in the lead. If only the lead person can see what's going on, then Hroksull would volunteer to go first. Since there may be traps or ambushes, this may be more important than having armor in the front.

As for method, I don't recall seeing anyone with Stealth. Five people rolling with such low scores almost guarantees at least one failure. Can't really think of a way to talk to them…well, not without sacrificing the integrity of being heroes, which Hroksull is not thrilled with.]

[Jorbles]

[Do bards have rogue skills still or are we essentially without stealth characters?]

[Kuildeous]

[We are pretty much without stealth. I think Hroksull has the highest, and that's based on natural Dex. So, Hroksull is content with skulking about, but he's not going to wander too far from the group since he's not likely to evade notice for long.]

[The passage is wide enough for two to walk side-by-side. Sounds like you're planning to charge in - I'll implement that within the next few days unless someone objects.]

[Jorbles]

[Me and Hroskull can take lead if we think it's best to just go tanky, but there is a very good chance I'll fail any stealth roles I make.]

[Gveoniz]

[Do bards have rogue skills still or are we essentially without stealth characters?]

[Veonis(the bard)'s rogue skill is pretty poor mainly due to his bad dexterity]

[What about the rest of us? shall we all go in or wait for a while?]

[WinterSpartan]

[Hearing no further objections - and realizing that Hroksull, at +1, is the stealthiest member of the party...]

The silence is broken by a large shrug from Hroksull. "Enough talk. Time to kill goblins and save people."

Moving quickly but carefully, he heads down the stairs. Merik draws his sword and heads down right beside him, with the rest of the party forming up behind. The merry crackling flames of the excited genasi's hair reveal a dank tunnel that opens into a larger chamber, with several bored-looking guards - two hobgoblins with flails and two goblins with crossbows. Braziers flank double doors on the far (north) wall. There are faint grooves under them. At the sight of the party, they cry out in alarm and ready their weapons.

[WinterSpartan]

The goblins shove open the large doors behind them, and the braziers slowly start to move forward with the grinding of ancient machinery. They then level their crossbows and open fire at Merik and Hroksull, who are in the lead.

Vs. Merik:

Rolled 1d20+9 : 17 + 9, total 26

Rolled 2d6+4 : 4, 3 + 4, total 11

Vs. Hroksull:

Rolled 1d20+9 : 18 + 9, total 27

Rolled 2d6+4 : 5, 2 + 4, total 11

[WinterSpartan]

Their aim is true and their little bolts are surprisingly painful. But the hobgoblins have been slow to react - Veonis and Derath are beginning to move.

(You two are up. You can freely move or attack through one another.)



Hobgoblin Soldiers
AC 20, Fort 18, Reflex 16, Will 16
These well-trained hobgoblins fight even better in formation - +2 AC when adjacent to an ally.

Goblin Sharpshooters
AC 16, Fort 12, Reflex 14, Will 11
Goblin sharpshooters prefer to hit and run, and will try to avoid a prolonged melee.

[Gveoniz]

Veonis rushes forwards to the left of the goblins and quickly attacked with his magic.

Move: Move to H7
Standard: Misdirect mark on the Hobgoblin Soldiers on G5 (Marking it by Merik)

Vs reflex

Rolled 1d20+4 : 19 + 4, total 23

damage

Rolled 1d8+4 : 8 + 4, total 12

[shraeye]

[what does it mean to Mark through Merik?]

[Gveoniz]

[From the character sheet :
"... the target is marked by an ally within 5 squares of you until the end of your next turn."
If I understand that power correctly, that goblin have -2 attack penalty if he don't attack Merik.]

[shraeye]

"Pray that Erathis judges you kindly!"

Hoping to take advantage of his jump on the footsoldiers, Derath quickly casts Whispers of Defeat. [each creature it hits has an additional -2 on attacks against me.]

First is G5, second is G4

Rolled 1d20+4 : 17 + 4, total 21
Rolled 1d20+4 : 17 + 4, total 21

[WinterSpartan]

The hobgoblins advance, shoulder to shoulder. The one who believes he was challenged by Merik accepts the challenge, and issues one of his own; the other sees Veonis alone and strikes.

I5:

Rolled 1d20+7 : 6 + 7, total 13

Rolled 1d10+4 : 5 + 4, total 9

H6:

Rolled 1d20+7 : 17 + 7, total 24

Rolled 1d10+4 : 7 + 4, total 11

[WinterSpartan]

Merik defends himself well, and the hobgoblin grunts angrily at his failures (and at the psychic pain of defeat, thanks to Derath's spell). Veonis, though, finds his back against the wall, with no alternative but to fight the hobgoblin attacking him directly (that is, he's marked and slowed - you can attack someone else, but at -2 to hit).

Merik, Hroksull, and Beleren's turns.

[Kuildeous]

Hroksull crouched and launched himself between the hobgoblin and Merik, narrowly dodging the beast's weapon. Now that he was free from the confines of the hallway, Hroksull focused his attention on the exposed flank of the other hobgoblin.

Minor: Stone's Endurance.
Standard: Evasive Strike. Shift to H5. Strike at H6.

Attack 1d20+8 : 15 + 8, total 23
Damage 2d10+5 : 2, 9 + 5, total 16

Move:
If H6 is dropped, shift to H6.
Otherwise, Hunter Quarry on I5.

[Jorbles]

[Oo, that's some nice damage. Can I get a damage report before I make my move? I want to see if it's bloodied.]

[WinterSpartan]

[Oo, that's some nice damage. Can I get a damage report before I make my move? I want to see if it's bloodied.]

[It is not - the other one had taken 21 damage and is not bloodied, so the 16 damage on this one (while impressive) doesn't bloody it.]

[Grujah]

Minor: Summon Ashe
Move: Move him to Hroksull's square
Use Buring Spray I4-G6

[Jorbles]

[Man everything is so bulky in this world. I'm so used to playing Dungeon World where everything is fragile. I'll try and remove their AC buffs by seperating them.]

Standard: Luring Strike, if I hit move to I4 and shift hobgoblin into J4, after hit shift to I5. If I miss, shift to I4 after swinging.
Attack vs AC

Rolled 1d20+7 : 16 + 7, total 23

Damage:

Rolled 1d8 : 3, total 3

[If I am hit by either of the hobgoblins I'd like to use Firepulse.]

[WinterSpartan]

As the goblins finish reloading their crossbows, the braziers grind forwards in their tracks and a sudden spout of flame jets between them. Nobody is in their path, but the sight is at least impressive.

Then the crossbows fire.

Hroksull:

Rolled 1d20+9 : 1 + 9, total 10

Rolled 1d6+4 : 3 + 4, total 7

Veonis:

Rolled 1d20+9 : 19 + 9, total 28

Rolled 1d6+4 : 2 + 4, total 6

[WinterSpartan]

Veonis cries out as a bolt slams into his side. Hroksull reacts more swiftly and watches the missile intended for him fly harmless past into the stone wall.

Veonis and Derath are up.
