Round 3: The Throne Room
OOC: Jovik's post has not arrived, so I have to RP him. Initiative order for the round is: Ripnugget (21), Jokad (20), Commando (12), Gecko (9), Danth (9), Kael (8), Jovik (
7), (
init rolls for the big bad guys)
Ripnugget jumps up onto the seat of his throne, as if to add further height to his attacks.
"Even if you do get past me, SHE will kill you. You haven't a hope. Not a hope!" he cackles.
And then, to add injury to insult, he slices down hard upon Jokad, catching the warrior with his horsechopper and leaving a long bleeding line along his left arm and shoulder.
OOC:
hit for 7hp damage
Ripnugget laughs!
Jokad spits back at him. The insult is crude, spoken in the Shoanti slang. Ripnugget looks confused, as if unsure whether the barbarian is trying to speak to him in common, only with some strange accent.
The perplexed look on Ripnugget's face is soon replaced with a wide grimace. Then his head lolls back on his neck. The swift response from Jokad has cut a three inch thick slice out of the goblin chief's neck. The head rolls back for a few frozen moments, before the goblin tumbles from the throne, his head hanging loose.
RIPNUGGET DOWN
The unarmed commando doesn't see the death of his leader, but what he does see is the horsechopper blade from one of his downed companions lying on the floor off to the side. He takes a five foot move and bends to retrieve the weapon.
The Gecko turns to flee, but it is not fast enough. Jokad manages to turn his attack on Ripnugget into a following slice that cuts clean through the midsection of the turning Gecko. Warm entrails spill out onto the floor
OOC: This is your cleave - just splitting up the attack for narrative purposes
GIANT GECKO DOWN
Danth, seeing the target of his fury suddenly cut down swings his body to the right, finding a crouching goblin reaching for a weapon just a few inches from him. He offers up a silent word to his goddess as his weapon connects cleanly with the commando. There is little left of the skull of the goblin when he is finished. Danth offers a silent thanks.
COMMANDO DOWN
The room falls silent. Even the goblin baby in the corner falls still, as if sensing the death and danger around it. From distant the shouts of retreating goblins can be heard, but also the noise of yapping dogs. Goblin dogs perhaps?
The noises are distant yet, but definitely approaching. It appears that your cover has been blown, but given that you now stand in the throne room of the Chieftan of the goblin tribe that led the attack on Sandpoint, things do appear to be going quite well ... so far.
