Rhun's Weekend Game - Dwellers of the Forbidden City - IC Thread

Kobold Stew · Dec 30, 2006

At the initial appearance of the goblins in the tower, Sandor presses himself against the wall, scrambling over the fallen rocks.

Why is everyone at range? he asks himself. Give me a straight fight. Someone to eat.

As he looks up, he wonders if it will be possible to climb to where the goblins are. He sees the image of the fog, both there and not there, and shouts, "There's too much fog!", more for the benefit of his enemies than his comrades, but perhaps reinforcing the illusion.

Is there a way for him to reach them? If so, he attempts to do socontent to be drawing fire of those who can see him.

Abel uses his healing wand on Sandor before he takes off to draw fire upon himself.

Checking over his shoulder at the fog for a moment, Zeddicus brings his blade around to the other goblins in the window, first charging it with arcane engery.

"Oww those sting!", Helios complains, looking horrified at the small amounts of blood welling from where the arrows grazed him.

The fire genasi then starts striding determinedly towards the the base of the pillar holding the goblin who shot him. As goes by Talshia, he drops the armpit-ed wand, saying "Here, use that to 'Biggai' Sandor."

OOC - Still concentrating on the illusion while moving to the pillar.

Seril pops up from his cover to launch another arrow toward the goblinoids in the right hand pillar. Having understood Helio's warning about the illusion, the archer has no problems targeting his foe. His aim on this shot is flawless, and the elf puts his arrow through the eye of one of the goblinoids.

Talshia follows Seril's lead, popping up over the rocks providing her cover and snapping off a shot with her crossbow. The quarrel hums through the air, burying itseld in one of her foe's chest. The goblinoid's arms go slack and he drops his bow, and then the creature stumbles back out of sight.

Seeing their two companions fall at one window, the other two goblinoids in the right hand pillar pull their shutters closed, disappearing from view.

"Oww those sting!", Helios complains, looking horrified at the small amounts of blood welling from where the arrows grazed him. The fire genasi then starts striding determinedly towards the the base of the pillar holding the goblin who shot him. As goes by Talshia, he drops the armpit-ed wand, saying "Here, use that to 'Biggai' Sandor."

Inside of the left hand pillar, the small, furry creatures quickly drop their bows and attack the man who somehow managed to run UP the pillar and through the narrow window. The three goblinoids leap at him, snarling and biting at him with long, sharp fangs. One of the three manages topenetrate his armor, and Zedd feels the pain of the beastie's fangs as they sink into his thigh.

Checking over his shoulder at the fog for a moment, Zeddicus brings his blade around to the other goblins in the window, first charging it with arcane engery. The sword plunges into the goblinoid that bit him, acid sizzling as it goes.
A loud creaking noise heralds the opening the gate, and Sandor's wish seems to have been granted: Two furry goblins pull the gate open, one to either side, while a troop of ten more of the little creatures charge out toward you. These carry crude spears and shields that appear to be woven of bamboo and rattan.

Sandor smiles, an aggressive baring of the teeth, and is surprised by his sudden increase in size."Heh. Thanks." His reach feels huge as he accomodates his new bulk against these small figures emerging from the gate. But he is ideally positioned to intercept them, and so he does, ready to attack.

He roars, opening his throat.

OOC:
Sandor is wielding a long spear (so that makes his reach 15'? That's what he threatens, at least, for AoOs), and his secondary bite now has 10' reach, which he will use on any that come through. He wants to function as a wall, impeding progress (movement) of these goblins if he can. If the spear does not slow the group down meaningfully, he will after a round or two drop it and use all natural attacks.

ooc: Curious as to how long the enlarge person spell from that wand lasts. Is Abel still enlarged, or has he gone back down to normal size yet?

OOC: 1 minute per level, so like 5 minutes. Abel is still enlarged, and will be for a bit.

Talshia drops her crossbow to snatch up the wand with some distaste, and perhaps a little peevishness that no one congratulated her marksmanship.

The Calshite magess looks at Sandor then and aims the wand at him, speaking its trigger word with a dramatic flourish. A magical impulse flickers to the lizardman, compelling flesh and equipment alike to swell and grow beyond their physical limits...

"There," she finishes. "Enjoy your rampage."

(move to pick up wand, then standard to use it...PS - sorry about poor posting. Internet access was much spottier than I anticipated over the holidays. Back home now though!

Helios gulps when he sees the goblin reinforcements, "Well that can't be good."

OOC - Helios' action depends on whether it occurs before or after being charged by the new goblins. If he hasn't been charged yet, he'll cast Burning Hands at the group, then climb up the wall using his Slippers of Spiderclimbing. If he has been charged then he'll 5' step back and cast Burning Hands.

Edit - The above assumes that Burning Hand's cone can be angled to hit multiple goblins without hitting any of the other PCs. If there's no clear shot he'll delay his action.
