CLOSED Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings

Goblins Do WHAT?

Kael's agreement decides things. There is no need for further discussion. The party is here to put an end to an evil, and that evil is not the tentamort. It can be dealt with later, at your convenience, but who would remember the heroes who came to vanquish the goblins and their demonic mistress, but instead became succulent filling for a squid monster?

You creep back quietly to the main entrance hall. All is silent now ... well, not silent exactly. There are noises from behind the door where you heard the laughter, but they are muffled and soft.

Jovik moves to the door, Jokad on his right, ready to follow him in, Danth behind, Kael to one side, Mal sniffing the air nervously at his side.

The door is unlocked, Jovik, noticing this, motions to Jokad, the two change positions. Jokad kicks the door inwards, his weapons bared.

Before you is a small room, covered with ratty cushions, lumpy pillows, and rumpled dogskin furs. These are largely accumulated in the southern half of the room. Strange, rather filthy, cloths hang from the walls, as if trying to emulate the tapestries you find in the homes of human nobles. The room smells like a nauseating mixture of vinegar and rotten flowers.

More worrying than the smell is the fact that it appears to be emanating from four hideous goblin women who are lounging about the chamber in a state of ill-repair. Breasts are exposed, as, heaven forbid, are naked thighs!

One of the ugly females is currently a little busy being paid attention to by one over-amorous bugbear. He hasn't bothered to fully unclothe, but is instead busying himself, trousers around ankles, buttocks exposed to the door.

As you enter, he turns around as if to throw some goblin curse your way. Seeing that you are not, in fact, some goblin scum, his demeanor changes. He roars and curses with some venom. His right hand reaches for a nearby flail, as his left hand pulls up his trousers.

He is a bit overweight, with dusky grey-green skin, large round red eyes, pointed ears, and a shaggy coat of grey fur over his back and arms. His ears are heavily pierced, and numerous scars mar his large bulk.

OOC: Initiative and actions please. You are about to enter combat with the might Bruthazmus, semi-naked bug bear of doom!

Danth Brinfield, favored of Sarenae

Accidentally posted Danth's actions as a new post below, instead of into this post. Sorry. :)

Jokad is thankful for the distraction of the bugbear reaching for his weapon. The rest of that scene is probably going to be hard to purge from his mind.

He charges wildly into the room, sword raised high for a killing blow.

Init 17, AT hit AC 9 (not going to do it, even for a naked bugbear)

His concentration is not what it should be however and the forceful swing crashes harmlessly into soft pillows and bed frames.

Do the female goblins appear to be combative? Are they threatening, going for weapons, etc?

They appear to be absolutely petrified of your presence. Two are making rather pathetic vain motions to cover their exposure. One appears to be trying to bury herself in the pillows. The last one is squirming out from under Bruthazmus.
 

"Naked bugbears...never a good sign," laughs Danth, before shaking off his amusement and focusing on the fight ahead. Acting quickly, the cleric rushes past his companions, slashing out at the bugbear with his new scimitar as he moves past the brute and into a favorable position.



AC: 18, Hit Points: 24/24
Initiative: 19
Assuming Danth acts before the bugbear, move past the bugbear to the lower lefthand square to set-up potential flanking. If the bugbear's initiative comes first (meaning he isn't flat-footed and can actually make AoO), Danth will move to the square directly above the bugbear.

Attack: 24, critical threat
Confirm Critical: 20, CRITICAL! (I think)
Damage: 8 (Damn, I always roll low on criticals!)

Round 1: Bruthazmus

OOC: Initiative order: Danth (19), Jokad (17), Kael (17), Bruthazmus (11), Jovik (move to rear, throw dagger)

Danth moves like lightening, darting into the room at past the rapidly readying bugbear. The creature is a terrible sight, all sinew and cruel scarring, his large round eyes staring at you like pools of blood. His fur is matted and stinks, his head appears small on his shoulders, although it is actually about the same size as yours. His nudity highlights all too well the brutal strength of the beast. He is armed now with a heavy flail as you move past him.

Your scimitar slashes at him, cutting deep across the flesh of his shoulder. He doesn't even flinch.

OOC: Bruthazmus -8hp

Jokad joins the fight, finding Bruthazmus focusing his fury on him, ignoring the scimitar wielding cleric at his side as one ignores a gnat.

Jokad swings, but the bugbear just bats the weapon aside easily, roaring in fury as he does so.

Kael is loosing his slingshot just as the bugbear roars, and the noise startles him, causing his shot to fly wild into the roof of the room. The shrieks of female goblins can be heard now, scared from their silence by the roar of the bugbear.

Then Bruthazmus swings.

His massive flail crashes down on the Shoanti, the young man only just managing to absorb the incredible strength of the blow with his shield.

OOC: A narrow miss

Jovik sees an opening, he slips Gull's Wing into his hand and throws her out in a single sweeping arc. It bits into the neck of the bugbear, before slipping back out into the air and moving back magically to the rogue's hand.

OOC: hit for -4hp to Bruthazmus
OOC: Positions after round 1:

OOC: Round 2 initiative and actions please. Bruthazmus is at -12hp, but looks very healthy still.
