Round 2: The throne room
OOC: Intitiative order is: Ripnugget (22), Jokad (21), Gecko (17), Jovik (14), Commando 3 (10), Commando 2 (9), Danth (9), Kael (6) - (
Invisible castle for the bad guys' initiative)
Ripnugget, bloodied and grimacing, moves like lightening, taking advantage of the slight hesitation in his foe to quickly finger a small potion tube from his belt. He rips the cork off with his teeth and tilts the entirety of the little leather bound tube down his throat. He grins as the healing warmth flows through this veins.
"Still ready to die human scum? For I am just getting started!" he shouts out, his voice tinged with laughter.
OOC:
Healed 9hp , so now at -13hp.
Jokad doesn't look too pleased at the insult. His focus is solely on the goblin king, wanting to put him down at all cost, and silly insults are not going to distract him.
He turns the parry of Ripnugget's dogslicer into a clever counter-attack, twisting the goblin's blade up high and punching straight under it with his magic sword.
Sweaty leather armor and corpulent flesh provide little resistance to the force of the blow as Jokad drives him back into the makeshift throne. Ripnugget groans in pain, but kicks back at Jokad, dislodging the axe blade from his chest, and spitting a thick wad of bloodied phlegm at the Shoanti. At least he isn't speaking!
OOC: Ripnugget now at -26hp. He is alive and still operational!
The giant blue gecko tries to snap at the back leg of Jokad as he drives forward, but
he fails to make sufficient contact and retreats a half step with a bloodied snout
Jovik, normally so calm in battle, despite his newness to it all, finds the noise that has risen up around the place, coupled with the thrown insults of Ripnugget, just a bit too distracting. He swings almost distractedly at the commando he faces, but Goblin Hook falls short.
The commando goblin that Kael very nearly killed, has turned now to face his attacker. Seeing the tall human before him, and realising that it only holds a stick, the goblin sneers and spits out some words of goblin.
He jumps up and cracks down hard on Kael's head with his horsechopper. Kael manages to turn the blade at the last minute, and while it still cracks down on his skull with immense force, at least it was not the cutting edge. Kael is hurt.
OOC:
Possible critical, but
failed his confirm so deals a still not very nice 5hp damage.
The unarmed commando sees the distracted swing of Jovik and tries to roundhouse the young rogue. He is just too slow though, and Jovik
easily oversteps the sweeping kick .
Danth sees his opportunity. The goblin that just struck Kael is trying to recover his balance. The young priest of Sarenrae moves quickly to one side, opening up a perfect flank on both remaining commandos. He swings his brutal weapon at the commando who just hit Kael, and smashes his small green skull into a bloody pulp. The look of relief on Kael's face is palpable.
COMMANDO 3 DOWN
Kael, seeing his own adversary drop, and feeling a rush of blood to the head both literally and metaphorically, changes the focus of his attack to the last remaining, and fortunately unarmed, commando. The move by Danth has placed this goblin in a difficult position, and he seems caught between who to defend against. The last place he was looking was the man with the staff.
Kael lunges forward low, thrusting his staff out, and catching the goblin against the lower jaw. He squeals in pain, and loses a few teeth into the bargain. He is shaken and badly hurt, but still on his feet.
OOC: -6hp to the last commando. You only hit due to the flank (AC 17)
