We goblins are mad! We liked our Commando! You guys SUCK!
OOC: I have rolled init and attack for Danth.
Order of attack: Jokad (init 22), Kael (init 21), Goblins x4 (init 19), Goblin dog (init 18), Danth (
init 13 ), Jovik (init 5). Mandraiv is aiding Jokad.
Rough formation:
Goblin, Goblin, Goblin Dog, Goblin, Goblin
Danth, Jokad, Jovik
Kael, Mandraiv (sort of between Jokad and Jovik, but hanging back a little)
IC: Jokad swings hard, but catches his weapon on the wall of the White Deer inn, causing a fine spray of dust to fly out in the arc that his weapon was meant to take. His attack is ruined!
Kael sends forth a bolt of icy vapor, hitting the goblin dog, which whines as the left side of its face takes a direct hit, freezing the putrid flesh there. (Goblin Dog -3hp, still going strong).
The goblins attack. The left two swing for Danth, the goblin dog and goblin to the right of it attack Jokad, and the one to the far right lunges at Jovik.
OOC:
20, 20, 10, 6, 12.
IC: Danth struggles to block the two goblins who pounce at him, finding that the first swings inside his defences, hitting hard against his shoulder. There is pain, and it distracts for a moment, offering the second goblin a route in. This one hacks down on Danth's chest, catching at the edge of his armour and shedding a wide spray of blood. Danth is clearly hurting! (
9 damage in total). The goblins woot in delight. They are about to kill a longshank!
The goblin dog scents the blood, and it seems to distract him from his attack. It snarls and bites forward at Jokad, but the mighty Shoanti easily knees its head away. Jovik dances away from the goblin that lunges at him. It will need to do better than that to hit the young man, buzzing on his first taste of real adventure.
Danth knows that he cannot risk casting a heal spell on himself in combat. It would open him up to attack and would be the end of him. But he hurts, hurts real bad. In times like these, attack is the best for of defence!
He hits!, and
kills it!
Goblin down! 3 to go (and the goblin dog)
Jovik may have been slow to respond, perhaps focusing too much on avoiding getting hit, but at the last moment he spots an opening in the defences of the goblin that lunged at him and slips forward with his rapier. He feels the fine point of the blade plunge into the goblin's eyeball, feels the blade tense and bend slightly as it hits the back of the skull, and then slips it free. The goblin slides silently to the ground. Not even a groan escaped its lips.
Another goblin dead! 2 to go (and the goblin dog)
OOC: Next round. Please roll initiative, and decide on actions. Danth is badly in need of healing, but otherwise the fight is going well.
PLEASE SEE NEXT POST: I had already rolled and written up Danth's actions, so they stick. The good news is he killed a goblin! Sorry about this. You posted as I was in the midst of posting, so I missed it.
