[QUOTE="hewligan, post: 3874530, member: 19688"] There is chaos all around. Goblin yells, insane snatches of lyrics, shrieking people fleeing, the scream of a child. Danth, you managed to follow with your eye the fleeing goblin that killed the dog. It has scurried under a cart and runs a tongue excitedly along its over-sized blade, its eyes frantically searching out another target. This cart is to the right of the podium (as you face it), but is a good 20 feet away. More pressing, you spot a goblin clamber up onto a now-unstaffed food stall only a few feet from you. It seems to have one eye on you, and one on the grilled sardines that lie scattered around the table. This goblin actually has the initiative on you (he rolled 13), but rather than attacking he decides to grab a handful of sardines that he quickly stuffs into his gob, giggling maniacally as he then squares up to you, his dogslicer curiously waving in your face as if he thinks he might actually be able to frighten you. How strange! Kael, you too spot the path the dog-killing goblin took, but you also spot the goblin near Danth, and, perhaps more worryingly, one little nut has actually just jumped atop a small child of about 4 years old, right on the edge of the square (about 40 feet away from you), his blade about to strike down. You also see a goblin go running at full pace towards the podium, a flaming rag stuffed into a bottle in his hands. This one is probably going to come close enough for you to try and take a swipe at him, but if you do that you will miss the chance to cast a spell at the one that is attacking the child. What do you want to do? Jokad, you too see the path of the goblin under the cart, as well as the one that is running towards you with the lit bottle (initiative 1). If you retrieve the hammer you may not have time to intercept (it will come down to a battle of initiative rolls next turn), alternatively you can move to intercept this turn and take an unarmed attack against him. Mandriav, you notice little other than the obvious mayhem. You were facing Father Zantus and missed much of what happened, but the screams from behind you make you catch sight of the mad goblin rushing towards you with fire. Unfortunately, due to your spot fail, you cannot act in the surprise round, but please let me know what you plan to do for next round. Jovik, you too see everything - the child, the goblin on the stall, the one that hid under the cart, but you also see 2 goblins just there, right there. THERE! Right in front of you. 2 of them. How the hell did they get there? Well, you are still near the middle of the square, with people fleeing all around you. One of the two goblins before you is staring straight at you, the other is jumping up and down, shouting obscenities at the fleeing people. The one that is looking at you winks, and moves to attack. You, however, have the initiative on him (he got a 4, the other a 5). [b]Actions please for the surprise round (all except Mandriav), and also actions for the first full round (everyone), just to speed things along. If things develop suitably in the surprise round to render your first round action unnecessary, I will ask you to repost.[/b] [/QUOTE]
