Ahhh xp :) that makes my day. So I made 3rd lvl. Yay for me. And yay for the rest who leveled. Can anyone tell me how much I need to reach 4th ? My books are packed away in boxes so they're not that accessible.

Before we leave and you all carry Aiken back don't forget the children in the east room :)

Aiken lets out a relieved sigh as he stabilizes.

Aiken moans a bit on his init.

1/10 hp Aiken starts fighting defensively thus his AC goes from 15 to 18 (normal +2 bonus +1 for tumble) He proceeds to attack the goblin who is flanked by Solange. Attack (1d20+2=3) Aiken curses in every language he knows as his attack misses the goblin again. (ps are we using fumble...

8/10hp Aiken stabs the goblin he has been fighting hoping to bring down the count. Unfortunately he is distracted by the other goblins and doesn't get a good swing in. 1d20+4=10 I do believe you are right Scott the castle isn't loving me any more. :uhoh:

Aiken will continue to block the northern entrance. And he will start with taking out the one goblin pestering him. If he's dead the attack will be on the one in the corridor. Attack (1d20+4=8) Aiken snarls as the goblin dances away from his blade!!

Aiken will primarily try to block the north entrance. If he can he will start with killing the goblin engaging Pendrake. If he has to move from the entrance to do so he will engage the first goblin coming down the corridor and hopefully bottleneck them there. Attack (1d20+4=11) if Aiken is...

If the goblin doesn't run. Aiken will still take up position at the entrance of the north hallway and attack the goblin if possible, if not he will close on the goblin in such a way that he is as near to the entrance as he can get. Unfortunately he slides a bit in the spilled goblin blood and...

Map If the goblins runs, Aiken will take up position in the north corridor thus blocking that entrance.

9/10 hp Aiken surveys the battlefield. Seeing that Solange is being beset by some undead like (that is what they look like no?) hounds/wolves he moves in on the lone goblin on Pendrake's end. "Pendrake help Solange. I'll take care of these puny goblins!" To the goblin he shouts in Goblin...

You still have 2 beasties on you. According to the old map you are a 5 foot step away from the entrance. We are making short work of the goblins here but with the reinforcements I don't know if we will be able to help you.

hp 9/10 Aiken moves into flanking position with the last goblin and Attack (1d20+6=22) takes the goblin in the eye. Dam. and sneak dam. (1d6+1=4, 1d6=1) Will Tumble (1d20+6=14) if necessary. "Pendrake! Block of the north approach!" he yells hoping that this will slow down the reinforcements.

Ceph just post your next action as well that'll speed up the battle some what.

hp 9/10 Aiken grimaces and takes the damage like a man. He moves to get the goblin attacking him in flanking position with Cepheus if not already in position. If necessary he'll Tumble (1d20+6=11) to get into flanking position. Attack (1d20+6=17) (this is with flank) Aiken punches through the...

Aiken falls back and will take up flanking position left of the hallway entrance. He will strike the first goblin that comes within reach. Attack (1d20+3=10) There is an extra +1 if he's in the bless zone. and maybe an extra +2 for flanking. Possible damage Normal dam. and possible sneak...

Aiken is cought unaware by the goblins and is somewhat indecisive Initiative (1d20+2=5) He readies his rapier. "forward or back?" he asks Cepheus. OOC I'll be gone this weekend probably wont be on-line till late night Sunday or Monday morning. I'll be on tomorrow morning.

Aiken whispers "we heard some muffled cries coming from that corridor. We'll go in first and check it out." Aiken proceeds into that corridor (Hide and Move Silently (1d20+6=10, 1d20+6=24)), there isn't a lot of cover and he hopes the darkness hides him.

"That is a good idea. Look what I found" Aiken shows Cepheus the arrow head. "If you cover it up I'll show this to the rest" Aiken turns to the group as they enter and show them the arrow head. "Anyone knows what this is?"
