Adventure: Get Me to the Church on Time (DM: BenBrown, Judge: Renau1g)

[BenBrown]

[sblock=BenBrown]I screwed up.

Due to a copy/paste fail on my part, my last two posts have carried this use of power strike from back in november.

I have not used power strike yet this encounter, but you did take 8 damage from the archer from my initial charge based on this error of mine.

However, if you add back the 8 HP, my attack this turn still kills the archer outright.
[/sblock]

GM: I realize it's a screw-up, and that you didn't mean to do that, but this would have made a difference as to whether the creature was bloodied after the first round. It doesn't make a difference on this particular one, but it does for some others. If you'd discovered this after the first round, I would have been fine with the retcon, but at this point, I think I'm just gonna have to say that power strike was used.

Mallaby stands up out of the brush and splashes across the stream, taking shelter as best he can behind a tree. Thais holds her position and waits for the next opportunity. [sblock=Ally's Actions]Lord Mallaby

Thais
Standard: Full Defense[/sblock]"Another coming in, point four!" the remaining archer shouts. "And Stanx is down!"

"Okay, Jekka, take charge that side," the leader shouts. "Everybody else, Maneuver Total, centered on Hagra, on my mark!"

"Lads, don't worry about the new one," the archer (Jekka) says, "Hold down that guy with the big sword."

He retreats back across a pile of brush, then looses his arrow at Spider, which strikes him painfully.

The one spear-wielder next to Spider jabs at him, as the other charges forward. They are accurate strikers, but Spider is protected from their blows by the power of Goldenhorn's ancestors.

On the other side of the tent, the leader yells "Mark!"

One of the flail-wielding hobgoblins steps over the body of the fallen caster and lashes at Zardi with a stinging cut. The other turns on Goldenhorn but his wicked lash hits only the tree.

The spear-wielder next to Zardi steps away to strike at Goldenhorn. This one hits.

The remaining sword-armed hobgoblin steps into the space just vacated and slashes at Zardi, slowly wearing the goliath down.

The final spear hobgoblin charges at Zardi, but Goldenhorn's ancestral spirits protect him.

When everyone is clustered together, the hobgoblin leader shouts piercingly "Go it! Strike! Now! Now! Now!"

There is a massive and sudden clash of arms. In the confusion Zardi strikes his sword at Tyris, giving him a nasty nick, while Tyris attempts to strangle Goldenhorn. The flail that hit Zardi does so again, and the flail that missed Goldenhorn likewise misses again. Zardi is hit with a sword, and Goldenhorn with a spear, and the hobgoblins seem cheered by this action.

The leader quietly slips back to a safer position.[sblock=Enemy Actions]Bow 46

[Mewness]

Goldenhorn calls upon his great-great-great aunt to strike down the hobgoblin in front of him, but she is apparently distracted by something else and does not respond. She eventually looks around, sending a wave of healing energy through Zardi.

Thais moves up behind Goldenhorn and sends a cloud of spores toward one of the flail-wielders, but it has little effect.

[bluesfella]

Zardi turns to the hobgoblin that struck him with the flail, bares his teeth and growls "You won't get a chance to do that again!". He strikes him quickly with his axe, then does a move taught to him by his clan's warleader many years ago. He dives towards the hobgoblin, but at the last moment swivels past him and rolls into a standing position right behind him. He finishes the feint with another powerful blow from his axe, killing the hobgoblin and sending his body into the space he just vacated.[sblock=Actions]Standard: Howling Strike vs. Flail 34 (1d20+9=25, 1d12+1d6+6+2=16) Hit for 16 damage

OOC: I have 5 THP from half-orc resilience, so i should be at 18. I didn't think I had the angle to make a legal charge on the other flail.

His half-orc blood re-energized him, as well as Goldenhorn's boon.

Spider broke away from the two surrounding him and charged into the fray on the other side (using the tent to conceal himself from the archer). Rushing in, he gored one of the spear goblins.

[/sblock][sblock=Spider's Journal]
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.
12. Run in to some creepy mushroom field. Attacked by big mushrooms.
13. Stop to rest in an abandoned (?) charcoal burner's hut.
14. Get to Church: wife/father-in-law sent Lord M on a wild goose chase, and don't want to marry him after all.
15. Find out true love Ismene is kidnapped, and we go to her rescue. Fight a bunch of goblins.

Mallaby cautiously moves forward, being careful to keep something solid between himself and the archer, and hoping that the melee will attract the attentions of the others.[sblock=Mallaby's Actions]Move: to L24[/sblock]"Going to move up," the archer calls to his boss. "Target moved out of sight."

"Hagra, where are they?" the leader shouts, but gets no answer he can hear from the hobgoblin desperately trying to pull the garrote from his neck.

The archer moves up to find something he can shoot at. "Uthar, get that caster. Razz, guard my back!" He quickly nocks an arrow and lets fly at Tyris, but his arrow goes high.

The hobgoblin next to the tent wheels and runs past the archer at Mallaby. The other hesitates for a second, then rushes through the bramble patch that Thais summoned to strike at her. Both blows connect.

The leader likewise looses an arrow, this one at Goldenhorn, striking him annoyingly. The remaining spear-wielder also attempts to hit the Minotaur, but with less success.

The flail-wielding sergeant is next to Goldenhorn, but his attention is entirely occupied by his strangler. The tails of his lash go flying, but do not hit the stealthy assassin.

Finally, the last hobgoblin steps back, then charges headlong with the intention of sticking his sword in Spider. He manages only to get part of the tent.[sblock=Enemy Actions]Bow 46
