[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4841758, member: 11146"] [b]Round 1[/b] Having spotted the goblin cowering by the orange merchant's stall, Sivan readies the long length of his glaive and assumes a defensive posture in order to protect his unconscious ward by the wagon. [I][COLOR="Gray"]Perception +0.[/COLOR][/I] Despite hearing the cackling rankle of the goblin by the orange merchant's stall, Sivan spots no other goblins lurking at hand. Letting loose a series of thunderous barks, the charging rough collie clears the doors of the cathedral to lunge with teeth bard toward the skulking interloper. The inside of the Cathedral isn't as dark as it would appear to be when viewed from the bright late afternoon sun outside; the candles just inside the small foyer and those of the alter area past the nave resonate with dim flickering wan light. Taran easily sights the goblin just to the left of the double doors and lunges for an attack. [COLOR="gray"]Bite +6.[/COLOR] Grabbing the wretched goblin by the throat, Taran skirts the creature's reeking studded leather armor and yanks. Hard. A mouthful of quivering wart-covered skin and flesh rip free of the goblin's throat and blood pours from the wound, all over the Cathedral floor and walls as [COLOR="Red"]Taran deals 5 points of damage[/COLOR]. Ere the goblin has even a chance to counter Taran's attack, the creature falls dead to the cold stone floor of the temple. The pointed tip of her longsword at the ready, Elyra treads catlike forward toward the orange merchant's stall some 30 feet, raising her blade high and to the side as she steps. [COLOR="gray"]Longsword +2.[/COLOR] The goblin atop the stall hisses at Elyra's approach and ducks Elyra's swing. The small creature sits perched atop the counter of the stall and grins at Elyra's miss, taunting her and croaking in glory. From the wagon, Grokk yells, [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"Protect her!"[/COLOR] yells at the man who called for aid for the unconscious woman. With a roar, Grokk sprints toward the goblin by the orange merchant, taking care to aim his movement for the rear of the stall in order to cut off any potential retreat by the runty goblin. [COLOR="sandybrown"]"Leave these people alone!"[/COLOR] the half-orc cries as his hammer swings down in a powerful arc aimed at the goblin's head. [COLOR="Gray"]Warhammer charge +6 (moved 40 ft to R4, flanking w/ Elyra).[/COLOR] The warmhammer rains down upon the goblin's head and continues right through the rickety wooden stall, sending a shower of wood splinters into the air as [COLOR="red"]Grokk deals 8 points of damage[/COLOR] and pulps a second goblin. As the goblin in the cathedral ducks out of sight and the one at the stall makes itself known, Tac tries to switch targets. [color=palegreen]"Sandstone! Come here, boy!"[/color] Tac calls in vain, concerned that the dog will meet the same fate as the other stray if it enters the cathedral alone. But, as Tac pulls back his bowstring... [color=palegreen]"No, but ... arrow ... blocked shot!"[/color] Tac stammers as the rough collie darts inside the Cathedral's open doors and the horrible sound of rending flesh resonates from the church foyer. Dropping his bow, the young architect re-draws his rapier, hustling after the half-orc. [color=palegreen]"It worked before, right?"[/color] he calls to his cousin. Seeing the half-orc split the skull of the goblin atop the merchant's stall, Tac comes to a rest five feet from Elyra, in square S7. At the cries from people closer to the cathedral, Talashia looks away from the little girl and narrows her eyes suspiciously.
