CG's Dragon of Icespire Peak [IC]

[Charwoman Gene]

Bella, Fitz and Rorik:

You left the Triboar Trail behind a few hours ago, and you are currently following a cart trail through the forest. The woods open up just ahead, a sharp escarpment rises on either side of the road. There are two dead horses lying in the road. There are black-shafted arrows sticking out of both horses. What do you do?

 

[jmucchiello]

Bella whispers to the others, "Could be an ambush." She ducks into the bushes to hide but apparently there isn't nearly as much underbrush as she thought there was.

Stealth: 1d20+5 8

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Aye, an ambush it is," agreed Fitz, "Just like how me and my mate Calahan woulda done it, gods rest him."

Though after he said it he thought it looked cruder than he and Calahan would have set it up, not that they had ever been fancy about things. Still, it was almost certainly an ambush. The best way to deal with a trap, he always found, was to set it off. He nodded to Ulrik and gestured down the road, as if he expected the larger man to go strait toward it while he slipped off to the side.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

[[OOC: Just FYI, it's Rorik played by @TallIan , that's with you.]]

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Rorik starts to head down the road, then hesitates.

You all hear high pitched whoops from the forest!

What do you do? @TallIan @FitzTheRuke @jmucchiello

OOC: @TallIan ? Okay, I use group Initiative, resolving actions in post order. I'll be rolling for you. Perception DC: 16 to spot an opponent. PCs;Goblins: 1D20+2 = [17]+2 = 19 1D20+2 = [11]+2 = 13 @FitzTheRuke Could you copy FItz into the RG?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Fitz stayed low while he tried to work his way around to flank the ambush site from the left side. He had chosen an animal trail through some brush to follow, which kept him pretty well out of sight, and he was being pretty quiet, but unfortunately he couldn't see a thing.

OOC: I have no idea how to cut and paste on my phone. My laptop will be out of the shop hopefully Mon or Tues and I will move Fitz to the RG then. Also, I can't post my rolls, but I got a 14 Stealth and a 6 Perception on Coyote (hence my description) but I can't copy it over so you'll have to take my word for it. I will get back to normal soon! I hope.

No Problem.

 

[jmucchiello]

OOC: FYI, [user], unlike the old [mention] does not send a notification. EDIT: Or I turned it off by mistake. I hate notifications from apps. I'm turning that one back on. Bella remains "hidden". She is ready to eldritch blast anyone she sees brandishing a weapon.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Rorik moves forward towards the horses. Three goblins pop out of the brush, two on the east, one on the west. They fire their shortbows, one striking Rorik's chain, bruising him a little. They are now visible.

To your surprise, Rorik doesn't charge the hill, he instead gestures towards the goblin and a beam of blue white light shoots towards them, but misses.

Bella and Fitz, you up and the goblns do not appear to see you. There are two to the east and one to the west.

OOC: NPCing Rorik. Shortbows at Rorik: 1D20+4 = [8]+4 = 12 1D6+2 = [3]+2 = 5 1D20+4 = [10]+4 = 14 1D6+2 = [1]+2 = 3 1D20+4 = [17]+4 = 21 1D6+2 = [1]+2 = 3 Rorik: 9/12

 

[jmucchiello]

Bella sends an eldritch blast at whatever one she thinks is farthest away from Rorik.

Eldritch Blast: 1d20+5 10 1d10 8 (and probably misses).

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Your blast goes wide, and the goblin on the west starts pointing at you and jabbering in goblin. "Get her!"

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Fitz, from a hidden spot, fired his bow at a goblin that he could see, and then he moved as far away from where he had been as he could, slowly working his way through the underbrush toward the goblins.

OOC: Shortbow w/Sneak Attack: 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [14, 18]+5 = 23 2D6+3 = [5, 5]+3 = 13 ...well, that is likely a dead goblin!

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Fitz's arrow kills one of the goblins on the east side.
The goblin to the west is closest to Rorik.

Rorik scrambles up the steep slope, and makes a wicked blow on the goblin, but the goblin still stands.
The goblin barks out another call and you see rustling in the woods on either side.
He then slashes twice at Rorik, leaving him clearly wounded.

The remaining visible goblin on the east side, takes aim at Bella and hits her, not fatally but cutting a wicked gash on her arm.

OOC: Athletics: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19 Greatsword on Goblin: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19 2D6+3 = [5, 3]+3 = 11 Goblin Boss: Down 11hp Two swings from Goblin Boss: 1D20+4 = [13]+4 = 17 1D6+2 = [1]+2 = 3 2D20.LOW(1)+4 = [4, 13]+4 = 8 1D6+3 = [5]+3 = 8 Rorik 6/12 Arrow at Bella: 1D20+4 = [14]+4 = 18 1D6+2 = [1]+2 = 3 Bella 6/9

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Oi, there's a lot of'em!" called Fitz to his friends, "Mebbe we'd be better off makin' a run for it, mates."

He stayed behind cover and fired an arrow at the goblin archer.

OOC: Fitz appears to be a goblin-killing machine ATM! Bow: 1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25 1D6+3 = [5]+3 = 8 Crit: 1D6 = [6] = 6

 

[jmucchiello]

Bella sends another blast at the wounded goblin in front of Rorik making a lot of noise.

Eldritch Blast at gobo: 1d20+5 20 1d10 4 (hopefully that kills a wounded gobo)

"Perhaps we do withdraw to a locale that doesn't favor the goblins." Bella withdraws another 30 feet, knowing her blast will still reach. (She doesn't do this if by moving that far she loses sight of Rorik.)

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Fitz wipes out the remaining visible goblin on the east side, while the tough looking goblin on the west is hurt more, but does not drop from Bella's attack. Three goblins emerge from the west side, two firing arrows and one drawing a scimitar to ward off Rorik.

Rorik seems to recover a bit from his wounds, then whomps off the goblin bosses head.
The goblin focus their attacks on Rorik, who collapses from his wounds.

Two figures, an elf and a human you think, (Hi Ulrik and Sythaeryn!) emerge from the woods on the east.

OOC: Second Wind: 1D10+1 = [1]+1 = 2 8/12 Greatsword on Goblin Boss: 1D20+5 = [16]+5 = 21 2D6+3 = [5, 4]+3 = 12 Goblin on Rorik: 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22 1D6+2 = [4]+2 = 6 2/12 Goblin Shortbow on Rorik: 1D20+4 = [1]+4 = 5 1D6+2 = [1]+2 = 3 Goblin Shortbow on Rorik: 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22 1D6+2 = [5]+2 = 7 Dying New characters can take their actions with the others. OOC:

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Ach, the little blighters got poor Rorick!" Fitz called to Bella, then spotting some other folk coming up the road he called, "Watch out there, mates! Here be Goblins, if ya catch my clever quote!"

He fired an arrow at a goblin standing over Rorick. Maybe his friend was still alive. If they could just get to him...

OOC: Edit: Forgot to post my roll! Bow: 1D20+5 = [6]+5 = 11 1D6+3 = [3]+3 = 6

 

[gargoyleking]

Sythaeryn walks into the clearing and looks around for just a moment. "Ahah! Think to despoil my forest and get away with it do you? I think not!"

The elf looks like no elf you have seen. He wears leather armor and carries a wooden shield. But all of his clothing seems to have taken on a yellow tinge to it, seeming to follow suit with his skin. And his hair seems to flow yup from his scalp in yellows and reds, leaving the impression that his hair is on fire.

A scimitar hangs from his side, but he makes no move to draw it. Instead a flame sprouts out of his open hand, which he immediately throws at the nearest goblin. Scoring a hit with the flames of his wrath.

Then he notices Rorik lying on the ground and scowls. "Get up! You've a battle yet to fight!"

Spoiler: Actions

Action:Produce Flame: 1d20+4 23 1d8 8
Bonus: Healing Word: 1d4+2 5

 

[Charwoman Gene]

One Goblin catches fire, and dies a quick but painful death as the flames consume him.

Rorik gets to his feet, woozily, and raises his sword.

Two goblins remain, one by Rorik, one close to the edge of the forest.

 

[jmucchiello]

"We should not let that one escape," Bella says as she throws another blast at the goblin at the edge of the forest.

Eldritch Blast at gobo far from rorik: 1d20+5 13 1d10 10
