[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5714178, member: 16069"] [B]The Goblin Guards[/B] [B]Encounter #6 – 650 XP – Level 1 Encounter[/B] 1 Goblin Acolyte of Maglubiyet (Level 1 Controller) 2 Goblin Sharpshooters (Level 2 Artillery) 2 Hobgoblin Warriors (Level 3 Soldier)) [B]PCs[/B] Ah-shahran, Male Deva, Hybrid Shaman-Warlord, Level 1 Freggo, Male Human, Swordmage, Level 1 Kalimaru, Male Razorclaw Shifter, Ranger (Scout), Level 1 Kyalia, Female Elf, Ranger, Level 1 Sgt. Velani, Female Human, Paladin (Cavalier), Level 1 Viator, Male Eladrin, Psion, Level 1 Velani screams again – [I]For Fallcrest![/I] But it’s Kyalia that is the first to attack – crouched in the blackness of the stair, her bow sings. Alas a little out of tune – the first arrow of her Twin Strike passes harmlessly several feet to the side of the Hobgoblin Warrior to the left, the soldier looks quizzical, what just happened? He scratches his head – while fumbling desperately with his sword. In the same instant Kyalia sights the second Hobgoblin, to the right <thuk> Her second arrow ricochets off the creature’s heavy shield – that gets its attention. It spies along the line of flight of the missile. The Hobgoblin’s mouth drops open, it tries to make words, eventually – in garbled tones, comes one word. [I]Bushwhackers![/I] The Hobgoblin Warrior looks very confused – where did that word come from? Velani makes it to the bottom of the stairs, continues her charge – still screaming fit to bust. Freggo follows on, making several graceful bounds, he’s in and at one of the Hobgoblins – [I]Charge![/I] He screams, unable to come up with a catchy battlecry, the Hobgoblin still looks shocked – seemingly unable to keep up with events. The Swordmage slices in to the creature, still fumbling for its sword, it does the decent thing and bleeds profusely… At the far end of the chamber, the Goblins finally look up and register what is going on, with shaking hands they scramble to get their hand-crossbows ready for action. Unholy Jeff, the cloaked Goblin, is furious at the interruption, and yet continues to berate the pair – still unaware his meeting has been invaded. Jeff suddenly develops an itch – it’s in the centre of his back, he tries to reach it, scratches furiously – now with both hands, he hops from foot to foot – the mark is Kali’s Assassin’s Shroud. The Goblin, still with his back turned and unaware of all that is happening behind him, is doing some strange clucking chicken dance – or so it seems to those observing him. Kali charges forward, and is in and hacking at the same Hobgoblin that Freggo sliced, the soldier has still not properly readied its defences, and that’s a second wound it has taken. Watching his companions enter the fray, Viator calls out – [I]Beware the robed one! I think he may be the one I sensed! Beware flames![/I] The Eladrin Psion reaches out with his power, trying to clear a path for Velani to the furious robed leader, he uses his Dimensional Scramble. However the rush of the other adventurers distracts him, he struggles to focus – [I]Dammit![/I] Viator’s warning has an immediate effect, Unholy Jeff stops scratching, what’s going… He turns… And stares… [I]Wathhh![/I] And stares. With a <wuff>, Gorm dissolves, forming an attenuated line that aims at the already wounded Hobgoblin Warrior’s heart. Faster than a thought, Kyalia launches another arrow, trying to follow the line. The beleaguered Hobgoblin takes its third wound, it’s fading fast – bloodied already, and yet has still not had time to launch its own attack. From the top of the stairs, Ah-shahran’s voice is barely audible to those entering the room – [I]We must clear the way to get at the caster, for the Grunts might surrender if we slaughter the master![/I] The cackle that follows, however, is clearly audible to all in the room below. The defenders are on the back foot, the attackers are all in play, Velani continues her headlong charge, straight for Unholy Jeff, she screams once more – [I]For Fallcrest![/I] This time she really means it… [B][U]End of Round #1 (Surprise)[/U][/B] No PCs wounded. One Hobgoblin Warrior bloodied (47/18 HP). [/QUOTE]
