Adventure: Get Me to the Church on Time (DM: BenBrown, Judge: Renau1g)

[Tenchuu]

OOC: [MENTION=6671055]horticulture[/MENTION] You should ready an attack with your standard.

"Ey, Grava, Ya not be goin anyw'ere wit out de Spidah, ya 'ear?"

Spider moved into the woods and lowered his stance to ready a charge. He used the big trees as cover to block his movements, and waited for the first enemy to target Graval.

[/sblock][sblock=Spider's Journal]
1. Lord Adelin Mallaby recruits me and some other adventurers from the Tavern. He asked for protection, on a trip to Allaria. He is to be wed to Elena of Terconis, daughter of the Count of Terconis. According to tradition, the wedding must take place at the ancient chapel of the Terconis family, and the chapel in Count's Crovale lies in the high hills of old Allaria. The lady and the Count are already there.
2. The adventurers board Starlight's Veil, Mallaby's brig. The ship is built for speed, not cargo or battle.
3. Intended Path: Land at Ristaren (100 miles south of Fromish), and make our way up the old highway to here. A mile or two off the highway is the village of Achirem, which is still thriving in the midst of rough country, so they say. From there we cross Derianis ridge, and then down to Crovale. The last part through the hills may be dangerous.
4. We land at Ristaren, and it is a small, poor town.
5. We killed a bunch of spiders.
6. We arrived at Achirem, where Kelvan told us to watch out for:
a. Bramble scar: some kind of trap/pit thing we can't avoid.
b. Hzaka Raiders
c. Ismene: Local robin hood bandit type. Lady, with a band of rugged ladies.
7. Get Jumped, or try to Jump, some Hzaka Raiders.

"Archers up, and cover!" the flail-wielding Hobgoblin at the front shouts. "Forward by teams"

The goblin archers fan out, right and left, taking cover behind brush piles. The two of them on the right (as our heroes see it) target Zardi, both connecting, while those on the left, though hampered by the tree trunk he's behind, take a shot at Goldenhorn. Both miss. A final archer, right up the middle, shoots at Graval and hits him.

The hobgoblins form three groups, each with a flail-wielder flanked by two swords. One group sweeps around so that all three of them can attack Zardi One of the swords misses, but the other two strike home.. The other group moves to their right. There's only a narrow gap between the trees where they can attack Goldenhorn, but the squad leader's quick orders allow his subordinates to move in and out, both attacking, both hitting.

The bugbear crashes through the brush, leaping over a pile as he charges at Spider, giving him a mighty wallop with his morningstar.

The brown circles are tree trunks, which are impassible and block line of sight.
The groups of brown rectangles are brush piles. They're difficult terrain to move through and standing behind them provides cover against ranged attacks.
The gold colored lines across the map are contour lines indicating a change in elevation. When moving uphill (towards the top of the map) they cost an extra square of movement to cross, except when on the trail (the swath down the middle of the map).

Mallaby is not a fully trained fighter. He will only defend himself on his own. He will however, follow orders.
As a minor action, any character can have Mallaby spend an action. He can't use more than the usual complement (standard, move, minor) in one turn, but a PC's minor action can be used for any of them.

Try not to get him killed. He is paying for this, after all.[/sblock][sblock=enemies]Bugbear: AC 16, Fort 15, Ref 15, Will 11
+9 vs. AC, 2d8+6 or 3d8+6 if he has CA against the target. The bugbear gets a +4 to hit against targets not adjacent to any of their allies.

Flail Hobgoblin: AC 19, Fort 17, Ref 15, Will 15
+8 vs. AC, 1d10+5 and target is marked until the beginning of the Hobgoblin's next turn.
These guys have an immediate interrupt, the result of which the first time in a round that one of their adjacent allies would be hit by an attack vs. AC or Ref that hits by a margin of less than two, the attack misses.

Sword Hobgoblin: AC 17, Fort 15, Ref 13, Will 12
+2 to AC if adjacent to at least one hobgoblin ally.
+6 vs. AC, 5 damage.

GM: [MENTION=6670569]Almightyfoon[/MENTION], let me know if you want to keep the action you posted for this round.

 

[Eternal54]

Seeing his allies in danger Eraden springs foward past Graval, reaching a trio of hobgoblins by the goliath. "You have begun a battle which you can not win goblins!" He yells as he thrusts his blade into the flail wielder. As the sword pulls back from the enemy it gains a faint glow that flickers off and onto Goldenhorn. The palladin wills his goddess' fury at the other goblin beside him, taunting him into a careless attack.

"Zardi!" he yells after he regains his footing. "Retreat to the brushes for cover and try to flank them after youv'e healed." The giant did not look well and would likely need divine assistance if he could not disengage.

OOC: Think it would be good if Graval went to help Spider so bugbear doesnt get +4 advantage. Also, Ben you have me at full surges. My virtue used one up so im actually at 11. This is gonna be a tough fight but should be fun. Hope we dont wipe out :/

 

[bluesfella]

OOC: Just checking, but did Zardi get any opportunity attacks against the three enemies next to him?

Zardi, struggling from the massive damage he's taken, swings wildly at the three Hobgoblins in front of him. The first two manage to dodge his shaky swing, but the third is not so lucky...he takes the full force of the blow right to the face and is killed instantly. Zardi seems invigorated by the kill, and he smiles despite being barely able to stand.

"Graval, Eraden...you want in on this? Or do I need to handle these worthless Gobs on my own?"

OOC: One more question, my Swift Charge power allows me to charge an enemy when I reduce any enemy to 0 hp, but I can't charge unless I'm at least 1 square away from them, correct? Since I didn't move, could I spend my move action to back up then charge?

 

[BenBrown]

The Hobgoblin swordsman that Zardi hit crumples to the ground.

OOC: Also, Ben you have me at full surges. My virtue used one up so im actually at 11. This is gonna be a tough fight but should be fun. Hope we dont wipe out :/

GM: Duly noted.

OOC: Just checking, but did Zardi get any opportunity attacks against the three enemies next to him?

GM: Nope. They swept around out of reach

OOC: One more question, my Swift Charge power allows me to charge an enemy when I reduce any enemy to 0 hp, but I can't charge unless I'm at least 1 square away from them, correct? Since I didn't move, could I spend my move action to back up then charge?

GM: Reading the power, it looks to me like it has to happen immediately after you drop your opponent.

 

[Mewness]

"Old Mother Flärke, your kinsman calls!" Goldenhorn bellows. "Merciful Bjursta, aid your descendant!" A flash of light sears one of the Hzakans and life energy flows into Spider and Zardi.

[sblock=actions]Healing word on Spider. Spider can spend a surge and heal an additional 10.

Rune of Mending on Zardi (rune of destruction). Zardi can spend a surge. Ironhorn, Eraden, Spider, Zardi, and Graval all get +2 on damage rolls until end of next turn.

Divine glow on Zardi, Eraden, sword 1 and flail 1. Sword 1 is hit for 8 radiant. Zardi and Eraden get +2 power bonus to attack rolls until end of next turn.

Didn't realize sword 4 was a minion when I rolled word of binding. I wouldn't have done it in that case, as it's pointless to kill him. I'd like to retcon the AP if I can.[/sblock]
