You all see a form moving in the trees along the eastern side of the path, from what you can see it looks like a hobgoblin carrying two blades, picking its way through the forest.

The skeletal owlbear lumbers out of the forest, its undergrowth preventing him from charging forward. The spectral hand flies forth from Scavenger and delivers a crackling touch to one of the advancing hobgoblins.

A hobgoblin wielding a mace and wearing banded mail, steps out from a side path and raises a symbol in front of him. "Undead creature, you dare to threaten me?". The symbol glows with a black light, and the owlbear begins to cower in its presence.

The glittering dust falls on most of the rushing hobgoblin archers, causing them all to grab at their eyes, crying out and dropping their bows.

A pair of dog-like creatures rush out of the path and flank the mace-wielder, growling menacingly at the party.

Sir Conrad holds his position for the moment laughing in scorn at the archers. Summoning more psychic energy to empower his next hurled mindblade strike at the next archer on the ridge to his left as he faces the squad of five rushing down the gully.

Sir Conrad takes a step back, making the squad work to close with him. The psychically charged mindblade reforms on his fist.

Yorgan steps forward and fires a bolt from his crossbow, striking the hobgoblin archer. His astral construct charges into the oncoming archers, but crashes unceremoniously into the ground, before recovering itself.

The forest-bound archers open fire, their arrows deflecting harmlessly off of the owlbear skeleton or the constructs toughened skin. The only hobgoblin not affected by blindness draws his sword and takes a swing at the construct, but the blow is nowhere near the target.

[sblock=OOC]
All, but the hobby at U27 are affected by blindness (well done!)

Draxton - 1

Round 3 almost done (Draxton), then onto round 4

[/sblock]

Yorgon, round 4, because what he does can't affect Draxton.

The inept construct strikes the nearby ground with its fist.

Yorgan rushes down the ravine and at the end of his jog, all can see that his skin has taken on a scaly serpentine texture. He has left a trail of white flesh chunks behind him as if his weak man-flesh has been peeled off to reveal the thick hide beneath.

"Keep up the pressure. Don't let them retreat!"

[sblock=OOC]Construct rolls a 1 again! Why does it even bother? Still not a fumble though.

Moving 30 feet to J15 K13, and manifesting thicken skin +3, w/ 5% wild surge: no enervation, euphoric +1 morale for one full round.

I posted round three in post #31 the one above yours

edit:will end up at j14 incase anyone needs to know

After Draxton summons the stregth of Helm upon himself and begins advancing along the path, the sword-wielding hobgoblin leaps out of the forest and charges at the human.

"You're mine Helmite, let's see if your god will protect you from me" he says, stabbing Draxton in the arm, leaving himself open to attack.

[sblock=ooc]
Sorry Jerrand, I started posting the post way earlier today, when I got called out into a meeting. Arabesu, he beats you in initiative so he goes first, please feel free to modify your characters actions.

Anyways, Jerrand, you get an AoO, but take 10 damage from the two-sword wielding hobby., he's at J15 - he's the B

H & h are the hell hounds, E is the mace-wielder.

AoO

[sblock=ooc]Who gets the AO Arabesu or me not sure from the post sorry know i'm last but work tomorrow won't be on till the evening trying to stay ahead[/sblock]

Draxton takes the lull in his opponents defenses to swing a blow backed by the new might of his god. The mace finds an opening and leaves a telling mark on the creature.

Attack = 17 Damage=8

Scavenger

Scavenger moves forward and attacks the hobgoblin cleric through the spectral hand with crackling back energy.

Sir Conrad charges down the path to smash into the blinded oncoming archers. His fist punches deep into the lead hobgoblin's gut, his psychically charged violet mindblade crackling with psionically enhanced kinetic energy.

With a wrench he pulls the violet spike from the hobgoblin's torso, ready to strike down any attempt at flight.

With a word and a gesture, a grey mist sprouts from the forest. Somewhere inside, Sascha creeps towards the enemy.

As Draxton sweeps by him, Yorgan adjusts his course slightly, to let him pass and give the the Helmite the room he needs to swing his mace.

Now fighting back-to-back with Draxton, he scans the ridge ahead from east to southwest with the end of his crossbow.

Talking over his shoulder he asks his comrade, "Drax, how many are they? They seem to be multiplying. How are we doing?"

OOC Oops, Yorgon will end his move at K13, next to Draxton. I will edit the original post.
