OOC:

It's hard to tell from the map, but is Tommi now in Melee range of the goblins on the bridge, or is there still more than 5' between them. In the former case, he could use his reaction from round 1 to move an additional 15' (as a skirmisher), with no opportunity attacks. In the latter case, he's free to use his sling without penalties. If he moves, it would be retreating 15' (back up the bridge) to maintain distance from the ones burning the bridge. Thanks.

It'd worked. Now his friends were spilling out across the bridge. Dandin followed Tommi and Angus. He tried to sling a stone of his own, but the swaying of the bridge tripped him up and the stone splashed into the water below.

OOC:

Sling:: 1d20+4 5 1d4+2 3

Yay, natural 1!

Seeing the goblins were about to surround him, Tommi turned on his heels and dove behind Angis.

OOC:

Yup a goblin dashed up to him.

Unable to get a clean shot with his sling, Tommi stands in the middle of the bridge, and wonders what to do.

Twelve Years Earlier...
Tommi and Sheren are playing at the edge of the Daggerford wall, where they've been hiding together all day. Their hands have brushed each other a few times over the course of the day, but now as twilight falls, their fingers are entwined and each is smiling privately to themselves. This is not the evening that they kiss for the first time, but it is a moment they both remember. The town constabulary were going around lighting torches on the main streets, a slow process that helps keep Daggerford safe, until the lamps run out. It's the same job Sheren's current team perform nightly, though she no longer has to take part. But back then, that night, hiding in the shadows holding hands, the two of them watched Old Miller struggle with a light, but it always going out. It was being extinguished by Tommi, who had always had the Gift, and could play with flames like this as a lark. Old Miller was struggling to fill the lamp, raise his torch, and as soon as it was lit, Tommi would twitch his nose and snuff it.

The third time, Sheren laughed aloud. A warm laugh and a squeeze of his hand, and that's the bit Tommi remembers best. Miller blustered and chased them, and who knows if he finished his tasks that night. It had been mean to pick on them, but Tommi had made Sheren laugh, and she was still holding his hand, as she pulled him into Jyn's house, where Tommi's mother made them tea.

The Present.
Tommi stands on the bridge, watching the goblins trying to light the bridge, and all he can think to do is to snuff out the flames. He'll run and dodge, but for now, he starts with the biggest flame he can see, and wonders if he can frustrate the goblins by snuffing their flames the same way he did Old Miller all those years ago.

Tommi twitched his nose.

OOC:

Since there's no one to help with sneak attack, case Druidcraft, to start extinguishing fires --- the spell works on anything up to a small campfire. Perhaps the goblins aren't that far along.

move and (bonus) dodge to keep out of the way.

Titus, as a wolf, races to the goblins.

OOC:

As a wolf, Titus has a 40 ft speed, but I don't think that's enough to make it to the nearest goblin. If not, Dodge action. If he can, Bite with Advantage due to Pack Tactics: [roll0] or [roll1] with a DC 11 Strength Save or be knocked prone.

"Find me a target, ORB4."
The javelins rack opened as Enseth stepped on the bridge. He reached for a javelin and, following his drone, threw it with a mechanical precision.

The goblins were still too far away for Angis to engage. He muttered the words of a spell, marking a goblin, and rushed forward, throwing a handaxe at the creature, then quickly pulled another handaxe to replace it.

Everyone

Angis stepped in front of Tommi and flung his handaxe into a goblin who was chasing Jynn's boy up the bridge. The axe buried itself in the goblin's chest with a hard thump and the goblin fell on its back with its arms and legs splayed. Though distracted by thoughts of the past, Tommi concentrated and the flames on one side of the bridge burnt low, and then went out. The goblin with a torch that was there cursed in frustration and began to move up the bridge, only to be harassed by ORB4. Enseth followed his familiar with a javelin, that pierced the goblin through its neck, and it too fell to the wet wood of the bridge.

The goblin on the other side of the bridge rushed forward with his torch as Enseth formed a front-line with Angis. The goblin shoved the torch in Enseth's face and stabbed him in the abdomen with a pronged fork, disrupting some of the Shield Guardian's systems. Then suddenly, from behind Enseth, leapt the wolf that was Titus, and it knocked the goblin on his back and mauled him with powerful jaws.

Dandin slung a stone, hoping to get the goblin at the bottom of the bridge. For a moment, he thought the stone had gone in the moat, but the splash he heard was something else - the stone had slipped free of his sling early and hurled high in the air. By some miracle, the goblin moved forward to sling a stone of his own at Angis, which struck the dwarf in the cheek. Then Dandin's stone came down and knocked the goblin on the head. The goblin staggered, and Averiel put two arrows into it from her perch on top of the upper bailey's palisade.

Aside from the goblin under Titus' paws, who was still struggling, the bridge was clear. However, a hobgoblin who had heard the ruckus came running from between the village's buildings. He had not raised an alarm, but he would soon.

GM:

Fhew! That's a lot.
