Lenuran of Lortmills, Bard 4, Hp: 24/24

The running hobgoblin presented an attractive target.

Lenuran raised the loaded crossbow once more to his shoulder, firmly placing the stock against himself and drew a bead on the chest of the creature.

"Gonna be a long one,"He says lowly to himself.

With a smooth pull of the trigger, he sends the bolt arcing across the battlefield.

OOC: 5' to AB102, fire crossbow at Hob#7 +5 +3 (due to distance) ranged attack 1d6 damage

With no enemies in sight, Ithiken rushes forward up to the corner of the stone wall. (Double move to AD100)

**********

Ithiken peeks around the corner as the new hobgoblins begin advancing, and he points a finger at one, firing more magic missiles. (Cast Magic Missile at the closest hobgoblin)

Round 4.

With no enemies in sight, Ithiken rushes forward up to the corner of the stone wall.

The hobgoblins are deciding to delay and see what you do. * this way I'm changing the init order.

Although expecting an attack, Korbryn knows the fight has to be taken to the hobgoblins. Stepping out around the debris he was using for cover, the dwarf closes on one of the hobgoblins, his deadly greatsword leading the way.

Miltiades begins chanting out a summons to gain a celestial ally to aid in their fight.

The Kid dashes out of cover, ducking behind the point the dwarf just left. As he does so, he lets a dagger fly, but the dagger falls short.

The running hobgoblin presented an attractive target. Lenuran raised the loaded crossbow once more to his shoulder, firmly placing the stock against himself and drew a bead on the chest of the creature. "Gonna be a long one," He says lowly to himself.
With a smooth pull of the trigger, he sends the bolt arcing across the battlefield. The bolt strikes true! The hobgoblin moans in pain and decides to flee, he rush to the stairs and open wide one of the big wooden gates that seal the temple.

[sblock=goblin language]
Fall back to the temple, they are too many and we are few.

One of the closet Hobgoblins shout and they decide to retreat to the temple compound, they rush along the cursed dead ground.

The Kid spits at the retreating hobs, and looks to the others. "They're going to cut us to ribbons crossing that killing field. Can anyone provide some cover?"

Lenuran of Lortmills

"Ha HAH!" Lenuran shouts with some glee as he watches his bolt sink into the distant hobgoblin.

"That'll teach that cur."

He quickly drops the head of the crossbow towards the ground, pulls back the drawstring then reaches into his belt quiver for another bolt and deftly places it into the slot.

He raises it again to his shoulder and puts the hobgoblin once more into his sights.

OOC: Advance to AB98, fire once more at Hob#7 (if still in view at Lenuran's turn) +3 ranged attack 1d6 damage

Miltiades summons a celestial owl as far forward as he can then sends it winging forward past the retreating hobgoblins to stand between them and the gate. Miltiades draws his wand in one hand and races forward. "No." he answers the Kid's question succinctly.

hp 30/39 range on summon 35', owls fly at 40' base move. Too far to charge, plent to fly down and block the way to the exit.

Korbryn puts his head down and pumps his legs, charging afrter the fleeing hobgoblins...

Round 5.

Ithiken peeks around the corner, seeing the fleeing beyond the range of his magic he decide to advance

Korbryn puts his head down and pumps his legs, charging afrter the fleeing hobgoblins....

Miltiades summons a celestial owl as far forward as he can then sends it winging forward past the retreating hobgoblins to stand between them and the gate. Miltiades draws his wand in one hand and races forward. "No." he answers the Kid's question succinctly. The owl flies across the clearing, up the stairs and hovers betwixt the door and the Hobgoblin.

The Kid spits at the retreating hobs, and looks to the others. "They're going to cut us to ribbons crossing that killing field."
Receiving an answer from the priest, Thandis decides to move on, but takes a sided route then the charging dwarf tank.

"Ha HAH!" Lenuran shouts with some glee as he watches his bolt sink into the distant hobgoblin. "That'll teach that cur."
He quickly drops the head of the crossbow towards the ground, but then he calculates the odds for hitting again. The hobgoblins are to far, and they are a running target, not to speak about the fact that his friends are way ahead of him and probably will need his assistance. The gnome decides to run forward.

From the inside of the temple emerge two little figures, from a far they look like filthy goblins, they take by surprise the celestial owl, one of them jump and pulls the owl in the legs, pulling him down to the ground. The other one helps him and tries to pin the owl

"Whoo boy... that's not going to be good..." Not trusting his skills to avoid being hit crossing the large open space, Ithiken quickly turns himself invisible and then begins following Korbryn. (Cast Invisibility on self / Move action forward towards Korbryn)

Lenuran of Lortmills

"I am afraid that too much of this will give me a heart attack...." Lenuran bemoans as he continues to run towards some cover.

"I hope that owl will be ok...else, it is due for a VERY short vacation on this plane."

OOC: Run again (60 feet closer)
