(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom [IC]

[Redclaw]

Larian steps back to get a better view of the hobgoblin, and then points the wand in his hand and hisses a sharp sylable. The wand pulses two times, launching a glowing ball of blue light each time. The missiles fly straight at the hobgoblin, slamming into him.

Tyrla's grin did not fade, as her bolt struck true and as the enraged dwarf surged through the air towards their foe. Still, she knew they were not done yet. She extended her arm again, seeking another target...

OOC: If Koth is still in sight, target him again with an eldritch spear (+7 touch, 3d6 damage). If he is out of LOS, target the remaining hobgoblin instead, moving as needed to either get a clear line of sight (if he runs) or to get out of melee (if he closes).

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 24/33, AC 23, Child of Shadows stance

Once the minotaur is down, Warren mutters a quick "Thanks Avril..." as he heads for the tower's door, opening it up to see inside, and particularly to see if he can climb or run upstairs to reach whoever's making noise up there. As he goes, Warren wills the shadows around him to shift into a concealing cloak, just in case someone tries shooting him unawares.

(just a move to the door and another move action probably to open it, changing stances to Child of Shadows just before moving)

 

[Creamsteak]

Warren: Moves to and opens the door.

Larian: Fires the wand at the lone unarmored hobgoblin hitting him for 5 damage.

Koth: "What in the six dragons!?!" He seems astounded by the miraculous flying dwarven barbarian. Not so astounded that he doesn't try to fend him off, however. Koth takes a 5 foot step back (putting him out of line of site of those of you below) and points his finger at the dwarf and lets loose a ray of enfeeblement. The ray hits, and reduces Gurguannin's strength by 7.

 

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 46/46 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - AC 27 - hp 14/38 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

With the threats on the lower level dispatched off, only the creature on the upper tower level remained. Warren, it seemed had the right idea, and while she was in no real way capable of assisting him much in the coming battle, she would see what she could do. She watched as her ally halfling opened the door, and then decided to follow him up the stairs. She moved to his side, conscious of Scarlet's hurt. She decided she was not prepared to risk Scarlet's life on this. Another brutal attack like that bolt of lightning or something else nasty and Scarlet's life would be at an end. "Stay, girl," she commanded, as she drew near to Warren. With one wand in her hand and a flaming ball of fire in the other, she would assist Warren where she could.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Avril moves to stand beside Warren, ready to follow him up the stairs at his pace. She has her wand of Snake's Swiftness ready in one hand. She commands Scarlet to stay in place (Handle Animal +12 vs DC 10).

[Creamsteak]

Avril moves.

The hobgoblin moves to Tyrla and takes a swing, connecting, dealing 9 points of damage.

Tyrla takes a 5 ft. step. Tyrla then fires her blast at point blank range, but doesn't connect with a shot.

Thats a short update for now. I'll figure out Siobhan, Gurg after a bit. Larian and Warren are also free to post their next actions.

 

[Redclaw]

Larian--Transmuter 5--HP: 25--AC:19 (tch 19, ff 15)--f+2, r+6, w+4

His preferred target out of view, Larian moves toward the middle of the courtyard and gestures toward the remaining hobgoblin, shouting Ustolo! A bright red, shimmering hot ray of light flies from his hand.
[sblock=ooc] Move to where the hobo has no cover from Tyrla (I'm not entirely sure where that would be...) then cast scorching ray. Ranged touch attack +6, for 4d6 damage.[/sblock]

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 24/33, AC 23, Child of Shadows stance

Hearing the druid follow, Warren quietly says "Try to keep quiet on the way up..." and starts to creep inside and upward, staying low to the ground or stairs as he ascends.

(OOC: Double move at half speed upstairs, 20 feet max, hiding and moving silently at no penalty due to keeping his pace slow, Hide +16 and Move Silently +14. Warren wants to catch any nasties by surprise if he can, so he won't just dash upward full-speed.)

 

[Creamsteak]

Initiatives
Warren 17
Larian 16
Koth 15 <-Ending Here
Avril 9
Hobgoblin 8
Tyrla 7
Siobhan 5 <-Starting Here
Gurguannin 4

Siobhan: Knowing that she needs to get up the tower to help the barbarian again, Siobhan moves up to Warren then casts aid on the halfling (+1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects and 11 temporary hit points).

Gurguannin: His strength softened but not yet out of the fight, he gives Koth a good swing. His axe blow bounces off the creatures protective magic.

Warren: Warren quietly moves up the stairs, attempting to use the concealment of the ghost decoy set up on the upper floor of the tower.

Larian: You move into the courtyard and fire your ray at the hobgoblin (previously injurred by your magic missiles). The ray connects, dealing 12 points of fire damage. The hobgoblin doesn't drop from this.

Koth: "Hah! It appears your blows have weakened dwarf! I'd like to let you know that I've personally killed many of your kind in the Wyrmsmokes." Koth then steps out of melee range, holds up a small wand, and fires a burst of magical darts into Gurguannin hitting him for 10 points of damage.

 

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla, warlock 5; HP 21/30; AC 19

Tyrla eyed the hobgoblin warily- the creature had taken a fair amount of damage but didn't seem terribly injured. Perhaps the beast was a tougher opponent than they had guessed- still, he was alone down here...

OOC: Tyrla will continue to attack the remaining hobgoblin, but her exact action depends on his move for the round. If it closes with her, 5-foot step away and use eldritch blast. If it tries to engage Larian, move to someplace with a clear line of fire and attack with eldritch blast. If it tries to flee, pursue until it is in range, then attack with eldritch blast- we don't want it running off to tell anyone about the slaughter here. Eldritch blast +7 vs. touch AC/3d6 (+8 touch/3d6+1 inside 30 feet)
