[Adventure] The Broken Tower DM:Grimmjow Judge:TwoHeadsBarking

"Looks like yer comin' along fer a ride, bugman! We got green heads t'mash...ye be stayin' close t'me an I be seein' ya through this."

The mobile fortress that is Eldreth hunkers low, her shield out in front of her. As soon as the doors are flung open, and the female dwarf spots a goblin inside the guard tower, she charges inside, not knowing what else was there...and frankly not really caring. There were goblins to kill, and a name to make for herself. She hadn't known it until this very moment, but she was in her element. She'd been waiting her whole life for this, and this was her time to shine. Staring the nearest goblin in its putrid yellow eyes, she shouted loudly, swinging her hammer overhead to make sure she got its attention, and then she moved in for the kill. Sprinting past the threshold she did what dwarves do best...going for the knees! She swung her hammer in a wide arc from above her head down to the creature's legs before her. Her hammer was big, really big, so the goblin likely didn't have a clue it could be swung that fast. It blew past its meager defenses. The spiked end of the hammer pierced the outside of the creature's left leg and the weighty bit behind the spikes threatened to powder bone! Ripping the hammer back out of the goblin's leg, she swung the hammer once more, sending a rivulet of blood onto the ground in an arc. Eldreth spits at the goblin's feet.

"
There be two things ye don' want t'be competin' in agains' meself. The first be drinkin'...the other be fightin'. In either o'those cases, I'm t'be winnin', and yer t'find yerself staggerin' about, floppin' onna ground, and not fit t'continue. In short, yer sure t'get hammered!"



[sblock=Actions]
Start of battle: Placed token on map at E10

Minor: Activate
Defender Aura (At-Will Minor Action Personal ✦ Aura) Knight Utility
Effect: Eldreth activates an aura 1 that lasts until she ends it as a minor action, or until she falls unconscious. While in the aura, any enemy takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls when it makes an attack that does not include among its targets either Eldreth, or an ally of Eldreth who has this aura active. Marked enemies are not subject to this aura.


Minor: Activate
Defend the Line (At-Will Minor Action Personal ✦ Martial, Stance) Knight Utility 1
Effect: Eldreth assumes the Defend the Line stance. Until the stance ends, whenever she hits an enemy with a melee basic attack using a weapon, that enemy is slowed until the end of her next turn.

Standard: Charge from E10 to E8, attacking GC4. Eldreth hits AC 21 for a potential 10 damage. If this hits, GC4 is slowed until the end of Eldreth's next turn.

POTENTIAL ACTIONS:
Battle Guardian (At-Will Opportunity Action ✦ Martial) Knight Attack

Trigger:
An enemy subject to Eldreth's Defender Aura either shifts, or makes an attack that targets an ally of Eldreth but not Eldreth herself or an ally of Eldreth who has an active Defender Aura.

Effect: Eldreth makes a melee basic attack against the triggering enemy. If the attack misses, the enemy still takes 5 damage.

The scent of blood hit Kruor pretty hard, there were bare wounds, nicks and cuts on the goblins from in-fighting. The coppery sweetness filled the air, and the cacophony of heart beats that filled his ear was like a song, no, a symphony!

He stood there, letting it fill himself, secretly enjoying his heightened senses. To him, the goblins inside would be like a mountain of steaks compared to the "terrible thing inside Eldreth's backpack"...

Eldreth Rushes into the tower and crushes the first goblin she sees under her hammer. The hobgoblin rings the gong. Pointing at the intruders and begining to march forward, he shouts "Crush the Intruders". The other goblins spring forward to attack the dwarf, while some hang back, watching.

[sblock=combat]GC8 and hits Eldreth for 5 damage.GC11 hits for 4 damage. Big Grigbad uses mass tactics (recharges 5, 6)

Weeeeeeeeeee!!!. The horrid tiny creature burst for from Eldreth's backpack, armed with a diminutive club that seems to have a needle like, rusty nail embedded on it. He (it?) darts towards the packed group of goblins assaulting Eldreth on all sides and bites, gouges, clubs, scratches, tears and rends goblin fleash, cloth and hair with sadistic abandon. In an instant the pack of bandits clears, some fleeing the scene for good and others knocking themselves unconscious in their hurry to flee from the flying beast.

Skyla shakes off the shock of watching a "pixie?" fly around the room and dropping five goblins with ease. A moment ago she thought she would have to fight tooth and nail just to get in the door, but now she finds that she has a clear path to what she can only assume is the leader of this rabble. "Thanks for the path buddy!" she shouts to the insectoid creature as she rushes past the lone remaining goblin in the doorway headlong towards the leader. She runs up to him, challenging him to combat in the name of Apoli, swing her sword mightily over head and...CLANG, drives her sword into the cobblestone underneath as the brigand easily sidesteps her blow.
