Angis Honack

Afternoon
Round 5

Angis glanced down the hall, seeing the two giant snakes. “Moradin’s beard!” the dwarf cursed. “Be roight there! Go’ t’ clean up the trash!” He wasn’t about to leave sleeping goblins at their back. Or awake ones, either.

Angis stepped up to the two remaining goblins, one asleep and one awake and cowering, and swung an axe at each.

OOC: Wow, those were terrible rolls…

[Fradak]

The Shield Guardian's defensive system activated just before the orb could reach him, absorbing the acid damage partially. But it was not enough and the Arcane ward had to rise, protecting Enseth from any corrosion. The spherical barrier surrounding Enseth reloaded his Arcane Ward with the absorbed spell power and merged into his battle fist, charging it with acid energy.
ORB2 tried to take cover behind the master's shield but, couldn't make it and was hit by acid projections.

"Retaliation mode activated."
Enseth rushed between the two Vipers and uppercuted the serpent with his charged fist, squishing his head against the ceiling.

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi sees the serpents, and for a moment hesitates. He stops running towards the sound, and instead repositions himself and fires one of his stones at the frontmost serpent.

OOC: Move to P8 (line of sight). Attack: [roll0]. If a hit, damage = [roll1] (with sneak attack) bludgeoning.

 

[gargoyleking]

Dandin steps back from the impromptu barricade with a smile. With a couple of good guards this should be defensible from anything short of a concerted attack. Hopefully they wouldn't be here that long.

Suddenly Dandin realized that there was some sort of commotion coming from the far hallway and Angus was standing over a just waking and very terrified goblin.

"Uh, you guys think you can hold this? I think I'm needed this way..."

Dashing to Angus's side, he thrust his rapier at the still prone goblin in hope of moving on quickly.

OOC: Rapier(Adv): 2D20.HIGH(1)+4 = [14, 3]+4 = 18 1D8+2 = [2]+2 = 4

Titus & Enseth vs Giant Vipers

Titus rushed in beside Enseth, flaming sword in hand. He slashed a deep gash into the serpent while it bit at Enseth's shield. Then the Shield Guardian's retaliation mode calculated a perfect strike, and Enseth slammed the serpent's head into the ceiling, crushing it. The other serpent slid over the body of the first, and it lunged at Titus, who ducked under its chin, avoiding the fangs that were dripping with venom.

Tommi & Ganalan

Stepping around some goblin corpses, Tommi slung a stone at the second serpent as it struck at Titus. The stone smashed into the serpent's head right above its eye, leaving a bloody lump that swelled the eye shut. Ganalan came up beside Tommi, and he struggled with his quiver, showing his inexperience. He was trying to move too quickly, perhaps to show off, and the attempt had backfired.

Goblin6 & Goblin12

The two goblins that had gone and warned the goblin shaman slung stones down the hallway. One stone harmlessly bounced off of Titus's shoulder, but the other stone struck Morwin and the winged cat fell to the ground in a heap.

Angis & Dandin vs Goblin Gambler2 & Goblin Boss1

After flipping over the table, Angis hacked at the goblin cowering under it. The goblin rolled to the side, but was too slow: Angis hacked at again, and buried his axe in the goblin's back. He yanked the axe out as he hacked with his other axe at the sleeping goblin. Somehow, that goblin got lucky, and coins that he had hidden it his vest saved his life. As Angis pulled this axe away, coins spilled on the floor, but there was no blood.

The goblin awoke, shaking his head, and was stabbed by Dandin. Still, the wound was not deep or fatal, and this goblin was tough. He drew a fiendish sabre, and slashed at the halfling as he ran past, heading for the bridge.

Averiel & Tarthegal

At that moment, the elves had retrieved their bows and were guarding the hallway to the west behind their barricade. They turned to see the goblin rush past them and Averiel said, "We must not let that one get away!" But she was not quite ready to do the job herself.

Gabulla the Shaman

In the well-room, the goblin shaman ducked out from behind the well and came up behind her giant viper. She took a dried snake corpse from her bag and bit off its head, chanting. Several ghost-like snakes flew about her and flew at Titus and Enseth, biting at them with ghostly venom.

OOC: That would be Spirit Guardians, except it does poison damage instead of radiant.

GM: Goblins gets a bonus action disengage.

[tglassy]

Titus roars at the loss of his familiar, and flinches at the attack of the astral snakes as they pump him full of poison. Though he knows he can summon him again, the loss still feels palpable.

He swings again at the giant viper, his sword aflame.
