[QUOTE="hewligan, post: 4223184, member: 19688"] [b]The watchtower, round 1[/b] The goblins move to attack, aiming, it appears, at the hands and head of the visible rogue. They carry horsechoppers, heavy, crude blades, and their faces are etched in confusion and fear. They clearly haven't worked out quite why some humans should be appearing at their very watch post. I guess they probably shouldn't have been paying quite so much attention to their game of cards. Before the goblin can slam the door shut, Jokad takes a risky shot with his bow ricocheting an arrow off the ladder and narrowly missing Jovik in the process. He then immediately drops his bow and rushes for the ladder drawing his hand axe in the process. As if spurred into action by Jokad's fast, but ultimately unsuccesful attack, Danth lets the magic of Sarenrae, the Dawnflower, course through his mind and into the mind of the first goblin. The goblin lets out a confused grunt as the power of Sarenrae forces its way into his mind. "fall" [URL=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1597370/]He falls[/URL], tumbling head first, his back bouncing off the already moving Jovik. The deflection sends the goblin spinning, his blade wripped out from his hand. He tries to scream, but before the noise can leave his mouth, he hits the ground with a horrific crunch. [URL=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1597374/]His neck has been broken[/URL], his body twisted, a cloud of dust rises from the impact point. It is difficult to look. OOC: One of the cleverest uses of a non-combat spell I have seen! And then Jovik, finding his way now clear, pushes hard and fast through the opening (no need for a charge now, due to the clear path, so just a move and standard action, but I will keep your rolls). The remaining goblin turns to face him as he moves through the opening. Jovik lashes out, feeling Goblin Hook catch the goblin across the gut, tearing into his studded leather armour and pulling a gout of hot blood pouring out. It is then that Jovik recognises that this goblin looks more like the one that was mounted on the goblin dog, all those days ago back in Sandpoint when they helped rescue Aldern Foxglove, the noble. Better armoured, better armed (with a large horsechopper blade), and certainly a lot tougher. And sure enough, despite the wicked wound, the goblin still lunges forward. This carries both the goblin and Jovik out of view of those below. Jokad charges up the ladder. The [URL=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1597379/]goblin's heavy, jagged blade hits, and it hits HARD[/URL], sending Jovik back against the eastern wall of the watchtower. The young rogue looks down at his chest. There is blood seeping, blood everywhere. He is badly hurt. He feels quite faint. OOC: -10hp, Jovik. I hope you are okay? OOC: Kael - if you think there is a useful action you can take this round without a view of the goblin, then please go ahead and post it. Initiative and actions for round 2. Jokad, you will need to spend the round ascending. The others are pretty much out of view. So in truth, round 2 may just be Jovik for combat, with actions for others. [/QUOTE]
