Strahd's "RttToEE"

Rhun · Dec 23, 2008

Korbryn waits for the thick smoke to fill the air, and then moves forward to take up a position next to The Kid. Hopefully, the smoke would protect them from any archers that might be watching.

Sorry for the slow posting. I’ve been busy with some scientific work and obligation.
I’ll post soon.

Thandis place the smoke stick below the slit and the area begins to smoke and cover the surrounding.
He can hear some calls in the goblin tongue from the inside but no attempt to assault comes from within the ruined tower.
Once the area grants some concealment Korbryn makes his way to the door and the other shift positions from tree to tree.

The Kid does a quick scan for traps, then attempts to open the door as quickly as possible while the smoke shrouds him.

OOC: Search 27, Open Lock 21. Still hiding in the smoke.

As the smoke billows and Korbryn and the others move forward, Ithiken quickly casts Shield upon himself as well as Mage Armor from his wand.

Korbryn waits patiently for The Kid to finish with the door, muttering quietly under his breath. The words seem to be the lyrics to a dwarven song or poem about slaughtering goblins, which seems quite fitting for the situation.

Playing with the lock the Kid hears the desired *click*. With a proud smile he clears the way for the dwarf that with mighty swing bash his great sword Anrak into the door. The door flies open revealing a dark main room. The main room is the largest area in the tower remnant and contains a long overturned wooden table and two benches. Food is scattered on the floor with some smelly kegs. Six sleeping mats made of woven straw are on the floor near the western portion of the tower. A spiral stair winds up to the left of the entrance. Underneath it are what appear to be ancient crates and barrels.
Behind the overturned wooden table stand six Hobgoblins with javelins. Four goblins are scattered around and hurl small flasks of burning fire at Korbryn.
The javelins bounce from the dwarf’s armor like sticks from a rock. The Hobgoblins curse their luck and order the goblin to launch their attack.
The dwarf dodge the fire flasks but their area of affect is wide and the entrance springs with blazing flames, causing the dwarf some burns.

Korbryn Rivenshield, dwarf fighter 5

Korbryn roars ferociously and charges forward. He knew he didn't have to worry about the hob's missiles; they were no match for his finely crafted dwarven plate. The alchemist's fire was a different story. The burns definitely smarted, inflaming (literally) his earlier wounds, but as the adrenaline pumped through his blood and the battlelust overcame him, the pain began to fade. Reaching the closest foes (the hobgoblins behind the table) the dwarf swings Anrak with wild abandonment, determined to cull the enemy's numbers as quickly as possible.

AC21, HP 36/52

Initiative: 14

Move to G10.
Attack Hobgoblin 3: +12 attack, Damage 2d6+9
If Hob 3 falls, cleave vrs Hob 2: +12 attack, damage 2d6+9

FYI, I think we have lost both S@squ@tch and Voadam.

The Kid curses as the fire, moving along it to get a get shot. He tosses a dagger through the haze at a nearby hob.

OOC: Init: 22 Move to L13; toss dagger @ G10: AC: 23, 13hp. Still concealed (50% miss on him), AC 19.
