renau1g's Red Hand of Doom - Beta

[renau1g]

Draxton's mace slams into the sword-wielding hobgoblins left arm aided by Helm's strength, the sound of cracking bone is heard by the cleric. Unfortunately, the hobgoblin still strikes Draxton with his short sword.

The warforged's spectral hand rushes over to the enemy cleric, attempting to strike the hobgoblin, but the swipe just misses its target.

The cleric pulls out a scroll from a pouch at his hip and begins reciting the words to a spell.

A mist appears in the area to the west of the trough, in this grey mist Sohen began quietly picking his way towards the forest archers.

The 'dog's stand guard next to the cleric, growling and you notice tiny flames dancing amongst their teeth.

Sir Conrad charges down the path to smash into the blinded oncoming archers. His fist punches deep into the lead hobgoblin's gut, his psychically charged violet mindblade crackling with psionically enhanced kinetic energy.

Yorgan rushes down the ravine and at the end of his jog, all can see that his skin has taken on a scaly serpentine texture. He has left a trail of white flesh chunks behind him as if his weak man-flesh has been peeled off to reveal the thick hide beneath. Meanwhile, his construct continues its ineffective assault on the lone hobgoblin.

The hobgoblin faces the construct and attempts to strike it with his longsword, the blow bouncing harmlessly off the astral constructs thick frame.

[sblock=WalkingDad] Your check is good enough to identify them as hell hounds, that they're immune to fire, weak vs. cold, and can breath flame from their mouths [/sblock]

Hidden (hopefully) in the fog, a voice in perfect goblin whispers to the nearest archer. <The others seek to betray you! See how easily they kill us! We must stop those traitors. Kill them!> The last is said with emphasis, magic behind the simple suggestion...

OOC: Quick Change to look like a hobgoblin, then cast suggestion on the archer nearest. Assuming Sohen's hidden, that's a DC 18 Will save. Bluff is +13 if you want to factor that in.[sblock=Stats]Conditions: 3 mirror images 53r

Draxton takes comfort knowing his comrade in arms is near."I don't think a count is nessacary with this scum. You want to challenge me now that I have Helm's divine might on my side?" he asks of the hobgoblin."This is a challenge you will lose!" Draxtons mace comes down hard at the last word and the hobgoblin again is battered by the blow.

Yorgon, round 5

Yorgan loads and shoots his crossbow at one of the hobgoblins that still has yet to be engaged, hitting it solidly. He then takes a small step toward the hobgoblin mob, trying to remain out of reach of Draxton's opponent while preventing him from getting flanked.

His construct finally is able to strike one of the approaching hobgoblins with its slam, pummeling it into the dusty ground.

[renau1g]

Draxton launches another crushing blow with his mace on the sword-wielding hobgoblin, using his faith as motivation in his assault.

The hobgoblin grinds his teeth in pain, but remains standing. "You're stronger than the last Helmite I killed cleric, but you're not strong enough." he taunts as he launches into a deadly, whirling frenzy of blades. The hobgoblin knocks aside the mace of Draxton and stabs the cleric in the throat, drawing a large amount of blood from the Helmite.

Scavenger

Scavenger sees the pain of the helmite. But the cleric didn't fall.

Don't knowing the kind of spell the hobgoblin tries to cast, he will play save and try to disrupt him, sending the spectral hand another time to deliver a deadly touch...

Seeing the diabolical looking hounds Sir Conrad thinks this may be more to his purpose. He leaves the blinded archers to the summoned monstrosity and turns to face the caster with the hounds. He charges his mindblade with psychic energy and steps towards the cleric. With a flash he sends the violet spike spinning towards the hobgoblin.


Five foot step diagonally towards the cleric.

Rolled an 18 on my attack but it looks like I will still be 35' feet away so there should be an extra -2 for range in there. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1613362/

Round 5

Scavenger's ghostly hand hovers over the hobgoblin cleric before reaching past its armour and delivering the deadly Charnal Touch for its master. The hobgoblin appears distracted by the damage and he curses, while crumpling the scroll and tossing it to the ground.

The cleric pulls another scroll out of his pouch and reads off of the scroll, after completing his words, a battleaxe made out of blackness appears next to Scavenger. It swings at him, but bounces off the warforged tough defenses.

From out of the fog cloud a whispered voice suggests to one of the hobgoblin archers that the others were traitors. "Yes, you're right" the hobgoblin whispers.

Sir Conrad steps towards the cleric and unleashes another violet spike hurtling towards the enemy. The cleric see the attack in his peripheral and manages to bring his shield up just in time, the blade shattering upon the steel surface. Sir Conrad recreates another blade with a thought.

After this act, the cleric gestures towards Sir Conrad and the 'dog' on his right bounds over. The creature opens its mouth and unleashes a gout of flame that spreads over Sir Conrad and the astral construct.

Yorgan steps from behind Draxton to get a clear shot at the blinded archers. His bolt flies true and the hobgoblin cries out in pain as it thrashes uselessly with its fists. The construct's heavy fist comes down hard on the hobgoblin facing it. The sound of bone cracking is heard as the hobgoblin holds its shoulder.

One of the hobgoblins in the forest drops the bow its wielding and draws its sword, moving towards the other archer. He swings at his ally, drawing a small wound as his sword connects with the others forearm. The injured hobgoblin draws his sword and attempts to return the favour "What's wrong with you, you turn traitor on us?" he calls as the strike goes wide. The hobgoblin facing the construct launches a weak strike with his injured arm, deflecting again off its hide.

Draxton calls out "Is that all you have for a servant of the Great Helm?! This is no contest and it is finished!" as his mace comes down upon the sword-wielder, cracking bone and causing a stifled cry from his opponent.

The hobgoblin smiles wickedly "You are a worthy adversary, it's too bad I have to kill you" he says as he begins another whirlwind of piercing strikes, but this time Draxton gets his shield up deflecting the strikes harmlessly away.
