airwalkrr's Rise of the Runelords (IC)

As Vhir runs for the goblin, he gets a pallid look upon his face... that is until Vhir stumbles over the corpse of his fellow goblin. At that, the goblin recoils with laughter, nearly bowling himself over as he sings,
"Goblin laughs as giant trips,
Goblin learned to swing from hips!"

The goblin cuts at Vhir with his dogslicer, leaving a nasty slash on Vhir's arm. (AC 20, 4 hp) In his mirth, he completely ignores Duko and his pet.

The other goblin watches with interest as Lax approaches, but shrugs his shoulders as the beast moves to flank his fellow goblin. He instead turns his dogslicer upon the chicken a few feet away and cackles when sinks his blade into the fowl, singing,
"Goblin slices, chicken cries,
Goblin wants to eat its eyes!"

(5-foot step west, attack chicken, chicken falls unconscious)

A nearby shepherd tries desperately to herd his sheep away from the scene as his sheep dog barks incessantly at the goblins, unmoving. Turch manages to back away from the fight, but the look of complete surprise mixed with horror on his face at the grisly scene and all the blood seems to take quite a bit out of his step. Many of the other townsfolk run in circles, moving this way and that in utter confusion while most stand paralyzed with fear, uncertain of what to do. Father Abner, at least, seems to keep his cool, and tries to usher people closer to him, with which he has limited success. By now a cry has gone up for the town guard, but judging by all the screams you are hearing, there is panic in the town both near and far. Could the goblins be elsewhere as well? Through the throng of people, it is difficult to tell whether there are any other goblins in the immediate vicinity. It seems clear that it would be best to deal with these before moving on to investigate further.

Duko swings his axe down onto the nearby goblin, striking it down with a deep cut.

Lax circles around the other goblin a little to better take advantage of the distraction provided by Vhir, and lashes out with his bite and claws, but the creature evades his strikes, with one claw tearing at its armor.

[sblock=actions]Duko attack 22, damage 16

Lax att 14,13,11; damage 8,5,8
I'm assuming that the 14 doesn't quite hit.

perception: Duko 6, Lax 22[/sblock]

OOC: Apparently my map did not update properly. Nor did rangerjohn's. Ditzie beta is only beta after all so perhaps there was an error. Apologies for the confusion. I had meant to move the goblin on the west end 5-ft. towards the chicken and place a skull over the chicken. I've adjusted positions on the map to keep in the spirit of everyone's actions (assuming Devion did NOT climb or jump up on the wagon, but rather moved around behind Vhir).
The goblin cackles as he nimbly ducks Devion's blade. However, as he is laughing, a spurt of blood pours out of his mouth and Duko removes his axe from the goblin's back. The goblin wobbles for a second before coughing up more ichorous blood and collapsing on the ground, his dogslicer still clenched tightly in his hand.

As Lax assaults the third goblin, he gloats and ducks, dodges and weaves, as Lax doesn't manage to lay a single scratch on him, although he does slightly splinter the goblin's shield and make a cosmetic tear in the goblin's leather armor. The goblin artfully evades the attacks, and laughs as he does so, almost as if it is a game, singing,
"Goblin moves and cat will scratch,
Looks like kitty met his match!"


The goblin is either blissfully unaware of the fate of his two colleagues, he doesn't care, or he is radically insane. Perhaps a touch of all three...

More than a little nettled at the goblin surviving her first spell, Talashia draws herself up and pours everything she has into her second one. Little sparks arc and pop off of her to spider over the ground, forcing Benin to take a step back as the hairs on his arms stand up.

The magical bolt that forms is significantly bigger this time as it waits between her hands.

She started out with a mocking, deadpan recital to the same tempo as their shrieking song, but cut rather short on the last line.

"Goblin tease and goblin goad...and then explode."

There was a crack like thunder as Talashia released her missile, which whipped through the market square, rose high over the wagon and slammed down onto the offending goblin with a good deal more force than the first.

(Magic missile: 5 points! Woo! IC working again! WOO!)

The third goblin is blasted in the face by Talashia's magic missile flying into him. It knocks him flat on his back... and he does not get back up. After a few moments, you can tell that these goblins are no longer a threat. The people nearby are considerably more calm than they were just a few moments before. But you still hear wails coming from other parts of town. Something grim is happening in Sandpoint.

"Oh my!" Turch Sterglus exclaims as the final goblin falls practically right in front of him. "How heroic of you! And here I thought you were just some sell-swords passing through."

Meanwhile, Father Abner is trying to corral people into the temple for safety. The occasional screams which can be heard throughout town are unsettled to a great many, and some rush off to check on friends or loved ones in other parts of town. The entire scene is still rather chaotic.

OOC: For now, combat is over. You have some time to compose yourselves, get your bearings, and (if you wish) heal any damage that was sustained.

Vhir snarls and takes a moment to stomp the corpse of the goblin that mocked him with its song. He marches over to the rest of the group, slapping the haft of his weapon against his free hand. "Filthy beasts! What the Hells are they doing here? They could not win against so many people, but they attack anyway!" He shakes his head and turns to look towards the parts of town where sounds of chaos still arise. He turns back as Devion completes his ritual and the soothing power of his deity washes over him. The slash on his arm stops bleeding and turns pink leaving a light scar behind.

"Goblins are stupid," Talashia says tersely, looking around. "And easily riled up. Maybe one of them is trying to lead an attack to gain prestige or...whatever it is the little monsters have."

She returns her attention to the other in the group.

"There's more. I'm going to find them, and kill them. Are you coming?"
