[LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

As Hawk runs past Crue is content to let her go. He will move to a position with cover and scan the field for any goblins or signs of a trap.

Dunkel simply accepts the fact that he is falling behind, though he does his utmost to keep running in order to avoid falling back too far. He is not worried, however, as he trusts in his god and his axe. "Get 'em lads! I'll watch our backsides!" A bit of worry begins to creep into his thoughts, however, as he cannot help but wonder why the enemy has yet to attack.

So to did Wahyu reach this conclusion as he slowed down his mount to match speed with the dwarf. There was no sense in hurrying on ahead when there would be no chance of catching up with others, and would leave both he and Dunkel isolated. Besides, he supposed holy men should stick together, should they not?

Hilltop Battle Round 1

Mystie, Hawk and Cruendithas crest the hill, with Crue seeking cover on the opposite side of the large rock while Hawk and Mystie rush forward. In the distance, a messy campsite with a fire going can be made out. However, with a bit more hill before you get there, lies a force of goblins.

In all, 10 goblins are spaced out on the slope and at the bottom of the hill, awaiting your arrival. The goblins armed with melee weapons have formed into element groups with a shield-man covering each of the long reach horse-choppers. Behind are the archers. In the center a long goblin points to Hawk with his dog-slicer sword and shouts a command. All 5 archers, with various types of bows, release their arrows at the same time. Arrows nick the rushing halfling as she closes the distance.

[sblock=Combat Stuff]As directed by Goblin D, all 5 archers (S, A, B) all shoot at Hawk, who is running and doesn't have Dex to AC. 3 hit (1 confirming a crit) and do a total of *4* points of damage. (Yes, mull that over in your head.) All the melee guys wait, weapons ready.

Ditzie Map: Map

New thing: I am using a Ditzie map for this encounter. If it goes well I'll be doing that more often. It was a lot of work to get it going, but I hope it gets easier.

Novice-Fu Tutorial for Using Ditzie Maps:
(1) Click on the MOST RECENT map from either the DM or player (you may have to open sblocks to find it)
(2) Move your token
(3) Without clicking on the URL address, click return
(4) Map will refresh and a new URL presented
(5) Copy new URL and put into your post

Hero Arrival Schedule
I've estimated the players that didn't have enough move to start on the map in round one:
- Jonas places his token next to P17 as his round 1 action, having finished a double move.
- Dunkel and Wahyu place their tokens next to P17 as their round 2 action, having finished a RUN.

Terrain: There is a lot of slopes that cost 2 to enter from the lower square, as previous battle. There are also just generally rough terrain spaces, such as P17 (the large rock used as reference, also usable as cover), K9, O10/O11/P11/P12/Q11/Q12, N10, C4, and H2/H3/I2.

Goblin identifications: Each goblin token has a letter corresponding on the left side identifying what type of goblin it is. There is a VERY rough identification on the combat roster already, detailing weapons and AC. If you want to know more, just ask. Also, there are multiple Goblins with same marker letter (2 A's, 2 S's and 2 H's.) If any of these survive a hit, we'll worry make some sort of notation differentiating them on the combat notes. All the others are uniques.

Reiteration:
Hawk, Crue and Mystie act now
Jonas place your token
Dunkel and Wahyu nothing this round, but placing next round[/sblock]

Dunkel still runs forward, but raises his shield for cover, after seeing the arrows coming down on his allies.

Crue sneers at the goblins arrayed in front of them. "May luck guide my hand to bring down these foulest of creatures." Drawing on the energy within the wand Crue sends a missle toward goblin D. Hoping that if the one blabbering in their infernal tongue goes down the others may soon follow.

Hawk, Little Halfling with a Big Sword

Hawk charges forward while screaming a battle cry. "Aaaaeeeee!" At the end of her charge she swings at one of the goblins.

Hilltop Battle Mid-Round 1 Update

Cruendithas directs a magical missile to strike the goblin directing the archers, hitting him and taking some of the wind out of his sails. However, he doesn't fall, screaming what are almost surely racial slurs at his assailant.

Almost immediately after, Hawk begins her lone warrior charge on one of the goblin positions. However, she finds they are ready for her. The little monster wielding the 'horse chopper', as the goblins dub their standard pole arm, strikes at Hawk in two quick stabs, one connecting as she steps in. Almost simultaneously, Hawk lowers the boom on the malicious beast as his comrade takes advantage of her open position, cutting into her with his small sword as the first goblin falls. Although Hawk weathers the blow, she knows she has been hit.

[sblock=Combat Stuff]Goblin H2 goblin strikes with readied action when Hawk enters K12. Misses. He then AoO strikes when she leaves K12. Hits, 8 damage. Goblin L strikes Hawk when she enters J12. Hits, 12 damage. Hawk then cuts down Goblin H2 (-6 and dying).
