Tyris lunges past Goldenhorn and stabs the Hobgoblin in the leg, causing him to fall to the ground. Tyris quickly draws back to his starting position and draws another dagger in his offhand.

Seizing the opportunity, Zardi takes a big swing at the prone hobgoblin at his feet and cuts him deeply.

[Tenchuu]

Spider side stepped to block the stairway and thrust his giant sword through the hobgoblin's head. With an animal scream, he pushed the blade down the length of its body, nearly cutting it in two.

"Ay, take a good look 'ere, ya dirty babylon! Dis da fate dat 'wait all a ya!" Spider said, using his foot to push the dead goblin down the stairs and off his sword. "Now, tell I an I tru, which won a ya gon be da next?"

1. Lord Adelin Mallaby recruits me and some other adventurers from the Tavern. He asked for protection, on a trip to Allaria. He is to be wed to Elena of Terconis, daughter of the Count of Terconis. According to tradition, the wedding must take place at the ancient chapel of the Terconis family, and the chapel in Count's Crovale lies in the high hills of old Allaria. The lady and the Count are already there.
2. The adventurers board Starlight's Veil, Mallaby's brig. The ship is built for speed, not cargo or battle.
3. Intended Path: Land at Ristaren (100 miles south of Fromish), and make our way up the old highway to here. A mile or two off the highway is the village of Achirem, which is still thriving in the midst of rough country, so they say. From there we cross Derianis ridge, and then down to Crovale. The last part through the hills may be dangerous.
4. We land at Ristaren, and it is a small, poor town.
5. We killed a bunch of spiders.
6. We arrived at Achirem, where Kelvan told us to watch out for:
a. Bramble scar: some kind of trap/pit thing we can't avoid.
b. Hzaka Raiders
c. Ismene: Local robin hood bandit type. Lady, with a band of rugged ladies.
7. Get Jumped, or try to Jump, some Hzaka Raiders.
8. Meet up with Ismene's band, but managed to talk our way through it.
9. Encounter: Angry Bear, Angrier bees, and a hungry frog. Graval got eaten by a frog, but Spider saved him.
10. Meet with Ismene and convince her to give us safe passage if we help her take on a local Goblin raider.
11. Launch surprise attack on Goblin tower. Climb to roof and take out archers. Jump in the tower, and find more hobgoblins.

"Towards the stairs!" the prone hobgoblin says. "Don't let them go down."

He staggers to his feet and then moves to his left, as his compatriot steps back away from Zardi.
No longer threatened by Zardi, the second hobgoblin steps up on to the sleeping pallet, then launches himself from it at Spider, stumbling as he goes and nearly burying his sword in the stair railing.[sblock=Enemy Actions]Hobgoblin B

Standard->Move: Phalanx Movement: Hobgoblin B shifts to N15. Hobgoblin 2 shifts to M14.

Hobgoblin 2

Standard: Charge to N13. Long Sword (charge) vs. Spider (1d20+6+1=12) miss.[/sblock][sblock=map]

The orange things are sleeping pallets. They're sturdy enough to stand on, but are difficult terrain.
They can be pushed as part of a move action, moving at half-speed.
The staircase along the wall has a three foot high wooden wall along its side. People on the staircase other than N12 are not visible from any square not adjacent to the staircase. Someone standing in N12 has cover from missile attacks.
The bottom of the ladder is in M15, but it's easy to jump down the last few feet to any square around it.
Any square less than 1/2 of which is not blacked out is effectively "off the map"[/sblock][sblock=status]All PCs have DR5 from Goldenhorn's Moment of Glory

Goldenhorn steps around the hobgoblin, still chanting, and growls in frustration as his opponent dodges another swing.

Tyris darts in triumphantly and impales the wall behind the final hobgoblin with his rapier. He has to set his foot against the wall and yank hard to get it free again.

Spider thrust his blade through the last Hobgoblin's chest, finishing it quickly.

"Now dats 'ow ya impala foe," Spider said. "Ya 'ear, lidda blade?"

GM: Hobgoblin 2 is still up (in N14), so going down the stairs will provoke an OA from him.
