The Kobold's Captive (ozymandias79 judging)

OOC: Too much?

-''That guy knows how to talk to goblins.'' Hadraks says approvingly to Trevor and Vixo while Cross and Skaliss lead the 'diplomatic effort'.

Skalisss raises his sword and takes a step forward with a growl. "Ssspeak the truth goblin, now!"

Skalisss' Intimidate and Insight checks (1d20+11=16, 1d20+7=15)

Vixo, it's possible he's telling the truth about the kobold location or it's possible they are deeper in the cave, neither your insight or your experience tells you for sure.

Skaliss threatens the goblin when suddenly Cross backs up the threat with a torrent of flame in the center of the room,

The goblin begins to speak up when suddenly a nervious goblin behind the wall (at L7) fires a crossbow bolt at Trevor but his defenses are up and allow him to narrowly avoid the bolt.

The leader goblin who has been speaking all this time curses in Goblin, looks at the party and looks at the goblin who fired cursing again he quickly grabs at Javelin and throws it at Skalisss and misses as well.


[sblock="OOC to all"] I can't repost the map right now, but it hasn't changed at all.

Standoffs usually can't go on very long without escalation,

Init has looped back around to the top and it's Vixo's turn. No surprise as everyone was aware of this possiblity, Vixo you have CA against the goblins in the background due to your first strike.

Vixo crosses the distance of the the cave with amazing speed catching the goblin who had been speaking driving his dagger straight into his gut.

Goblin 2 picks up a javelin rushing forward throwing his weapon at the end of his run. The javelin nails Vixo.

Cross slips between Mal & Trevor, in order to move into position for a targeting solution. Once he sees a clear shot at the 2 goblins in the back corner, he stops... and begins moving his staff in its familiar circle, before bringing down the base and declaring "Incendio", causing the 2 goblins to vanish from sight in a column of sulphuric flame...

[sblock=actions]move: E3 to F8
Std: Scorching Burst on N14
Minor: None[/sblock]

Skaliss charges forward violently and the leader of the goblins who had been speaking before falls to the floor dead.


Cross steps forward and drops a torrent of flame on the goblins to the rear scorching them but not seeming to injury them too badly.


Goblin 3 picks up his crossbow from the ground and retailiates against Cross. The crossbow bolt painfully stabs into the wizard. Goblin 3 then takes a step to the north.

Goblin 4 picks up his weapons and barrelling forward and launching a javelin at Cross as part of his run.
