[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5583532, member: 16069"] And all goes to plan, Scorch is cut again- not the glancing blows of Magnus but a hearty sword thrust which pierces the Goblin's side and leaves a ragged gaping wound, the creature blanches- Scorch is bloodied, and not happy about things. Bar Patrons- The patrons of the Inn meanwhile do the best they can to run and hide, save three of them- Ayella and Shadwick bartenders at the Inn are loyal to the last, they shout and scream above the noise- mainly at Kali and Viator (closest)- "We must save the Inn! We must save the Inn!" "Put out the fire before it spreads..." The pair then leap back over the bar to do what they can to put out the flames there. Wumpus is not done however, by hook or by crook he climbs on to the bar- it takes him a little while he's not very dextrous at the moment (drunk), once there he looks around- spots a beer stein, picks it up and smashes Scorch in the side of the head with it... the blood pours from the wound (1 HP damage to Scorch). Wumpus cheers his own success- "Goin' dahn! Goin' dahn! Goin' dahn!" He sings, over, and over, and over, and over again. Fire- And just to punctuate Ayella and Shadwick's point the liquor cabinet and the spirit bottles behind the bar explode strafing the area behind the bar with flying glass. Miraculously no-one is injured. Meanwhile the fire in the dining area continues to spread, threatening Ah-shahran. [sblock=Read This... Putting out the Fire] It's getting dangerous in the bar, the fire is raging and the smoke is beginning to build up... and remember this Inn has rooms above- if the conflagration were to spread then the entire structure would become unstable. At the very least cause localised collapses. You need to fight the invaders... and put out the fire, how you extinguish the fire is entirely up to you, the most obvious resource are the patrons of the Inn- if you could get them to do it for you... And so I need you to take action, or else make skill checks to put out the flames- you decide what checks and how they are used to fight the flames. Success and all flames are extinguished in a Close Burst 1- around you or a selected NPC (Bar Patron). Failure, well- you'll see. Skill checks can be Free, Minor, Move or Standard Actions. The more of your time you spend on such actions then the easier the DC for the check, so making a check as a Free Action = Hard DC, while making a check as part of a Standard Action = Easy DC. Your friendly DM will reward good ideas or role-play with easier checks. You do not know how many Successes you need, but a good guess would be until the flames are out.[/sblock] [sblock=Combat] Encounter #1 Bar Fight Turn: 3 Initiative (* = Next to play) 26 Sneaky Goblin #1* 26 Sneaky Goblin #3 23 Magnus (TSS) 21 Freggo (Goken) 19 Hobgoblin #8 19 Hobgoblin #10 15 Viator (Raven) 13 Kalimaru (Hairychin) 11 Kyalia (Thanee) 10 Ah-shahran (Tiornys) 0 Patrons of the Inn 0 Fire HP & Conditions PCs Ah-shahran 30/30 Surges 8/8 Freggo 27/17 (4 Temp HP) Surges 9/9 Kalimaru 25/25 Surges 8/8 Kyalia 26/26 (4 Temp HP) Surges 8/8 Magnus 38/27 Surges 13/13 Viator 26/15 Surges 8/8 Monsters Sneaky Goblin #1- 20 damage taken- Bloodied.
