Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC
OOC: As I mentioned above, Freggo used a healing surge, so he should be down 1 surge but at full HP.
I will post Kali's 1st round actions tomorrow morning. Very glad that hairychin posted the CB file.Gotta sleep now...

Kali dives in swinging
Kali's eyes widen upon seeing the familiar figures of goblins before him. But the explosion and the ogre give him enough pause to assume a more cautious stance. Like the appraising hawk, Kali glides forward, surveying the battlefield. He pays particular attention to the ogre and the manner in which it is attached to the cart, and marks any weaknesses for future exploit.
But for the time being, the goblins numbers will be one fewer. Kali circles and dives into the front goblin on the right, chopping mightily with his ax. But Kalimaru has let his attention wander, and the Goblin sidesteps his clumsy attack, grinning with malice.
[sblock=Mechanics]
Minor Action: Aspect of the Soaring Hawk for +2 to speed, bonuses vs. cover, and +2 to Perception
Free Action: Perception vs. enemies, particularly ogre and cart
Move Action: Circle to W:14
Standard Action: Charge to Y:13 and MBA vs. Goblin #1 (Knocker)

[sblock=Goblin Tactics?]Do the Goblins have the typical immediate reaction ability? If so, I'd expect it to be used after Kali's attack. I'm going to assume that, if that was the case, Magnus still charged the same Goblin, and stayed within 2 squares of Kali. My turn won't change except the basic attack will be given to Magnus, not Kali (so -1 to hit), and Gorm will wind up adjacent to Magnus, nearest the rest of the enemy.[/sblock]
As the besieged goblin ducks and weaves, Ah-shahran stares at the enemy, seemingly lost in thought once again. In the midst of the action, Kali spots an opening as Magnus's hammer whistles through the air. Inspired by a brief *wuff*, he seizes his chance to correct his earlier mis-swing. However, the goblin remains impervious to attacks. Gorm's slightly glowing presence, a comfort to the two combatants, settles between them and the oncoming goblinoids.
[sblock=Mechanics]Free: Nature check on the enemy side
Minor: Call Spirit Companion at Y14, granting 4 temp HP to Kali.
Standard: Spirit Infusion, granting enhanced melee basic to Kali.
Move --> Minor: Call Spirit Companion at AA14, granting 4 temp HP to Magnus.
Free: mutter relevant knowledge in a rambly fashion, assuming my knowledge check was decent[/sblock]

Magnus is first out of the blocks, head down he bullets forward, has to slow a little mid-stride to adjust his helm and see where he's going, and then charges at the nearest Goblin- and swings... and misses.
Magnus issues his challenge, 'don't move a muscle ya slimey wee eejit. I'll getchya nex' time.'

Freggo spots that Ogre is not 'attached' to the cart at all, a thick rope has been connected to the two spars, the Ogre merely pushes against the rope to impart forward momemtum- an engagingly simple design.
The Swordmage dances forward and around- the nips in to thrust his longsword at Knocker the Goblin, alas yet another Miss.
Knocker for his part looks mightily worried, he fears Maglubiyet has deserted him- what with two of the bigger folk choosing to attack him... He tries to remember back how he could have perhaps offended his god.

Kali, not Freggo
KALI spots that Ogre is not 'attached' to the cart at all, a thick rope has been connected to the two spars, the Ogre merely pushes against the rope to impart forward momemtum- an engagingly simple design.
The SCOUT dances forward and around- the nips in to thrust his AX at Knocker the Goblin, alas yet another Miss.
Knocker for his part looks mightily worried, he fears Maglubiyet has deserted him- what with two of the bigger folk choosing to attack him... He tries to remember back how he could have perhaps offended his god.
"Look, the beastly thing is pushing the cart forward with a single rope! Somebody cut it!"

[sblock=Goblin Tactics reply- all read]I am going to attempt to continue to play moving in Init order, you can pre-post of course- that would be great but I think me rolling the Init and you guys sticking in order is... well, working. I think the other way de-values Init (and a player or two has stated that they think the same).[/sblock]
Both Kali and Magnus are buoyed by the presence of Gorm- alas Kali's Battleaxe swipe is high wide and handsome, Knocker truly is living a blessed existence, despite his fear that Maglubiyet has abandoned him.
Ah-shahran, begins to ramble-
"Ware the great beast, tis an Ogre, it's Greatclub can deliver injuries severe, it can at times gauge it's strike to perfection- I also fear the fiery kegs it even now clutches, they may be the source for the previous fiery interlude."
And,
"Close upon the Hobbo's, they are experts with their bows- they are also, at times, able to throw off ill-effects quickly."
And, lastly-
"Smash the Goblins, but care they may shuffle away, should you miss your strike- but fear them not for they are the chaff, the great beast is the prize..."
And with that the Ogre gets in to the action-
Ogre- Big Fat Angry Bob
The Ogre drags the cart forward a little way, then- tongue out, aims and pitches a fizzing cask in to the adventurers crowding the door to the Inn.
Alas both Kyalia and Freggo are caught in the flaming inferno as the things explodes on contact with ground creating a fireball like effect.
[sblock=Ogre Combat]
Move: with cart AE10.
Standard: Throw cask W21-Kyalia & Freggo both Hit 6 fire damage
Minor: Grab another cask

The Ogre screams- "I 'it, I 'ard."
