Initiative Round 5
Pender 25
Warren 22
Larian 15
Tyrla 14
Hobgoblin Warriors 13
Lieutenant 12
Avril 11
Dragon 9
Siobhan 4

Pender: Pender acquires and drinks a healing potion. The potion heals for 10.

Warren: Warren manuevers around to the nearby archer and attacks him with his flaming blade. The strike takes down the already wounded (from Larian's fireball earlier) archer.

Larian: Larian uses his scorching ray spell against the Dragon, dealing 14 fire damage. He then begins ascending the tower.

Tyrla: Tyrla's blast does 13 points of damage to the dragon.

Hobgoblins: The remaining archer fires a shot at Warren. The arrow hits and deals 8 damage.

The grunts in front attack the summoned dire wolf. All three land hits, combined they dealt 15 points of damage.

Lieutenant: The lieutenant orders his men on the other side of the creature, "Don't bother with the wolf, just go after their spellcasters!" in goblin of course. He, however, is trapped against he wolf, and attacks it outright. He deals 15 points of damage himself.

Avril: Avril fires two shots of flame at the Dragon, dealing 10 and 6 damage. The dire wolf bites the hobgoblins for 15 points of damage (M24).

Dragon: The dragon executes an immediate wing-over, turning and flying down into the ravine, and finally taking cover under the rapids below. The acid that hit Larian deals 8 more damage, 16 damage to Siobhan and Avril. (That's of course before acid protection reduces the amount).

Siobhan: Siobhan moves and casts another divine spell granting additional power.

The dragon should actually be 8 squares off-map. I didn't take the time to count out the distance necessary to descend the full 150 feet to the river until after I moved the token on the map. He has 10 ft. of water over the top of him right now, and he occupies 10 feet, so he's essentially as deep as he can be in this water.

Pender, Male Human Fighter 6

Pender feels a sense of urgency and frustration as the battle rapidly plays out at the bridge. 'At least I haven't been spotted yet,' he thinks to himself. With that he begins to gather up some of the weapons and other items before him. 'Let's see... I'll need the bow and the arrows in case I have to face the dragon. Then the sword and shield for the hobgoblin leader...'

[sblock=OOC]Pender will grab the bow and the arrows. I think that will be two move actions, but if he has more time this round, he will also grab the sword, shield, and remaining two potions--in that order, however much he can get in this round.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

With his primary target gone, Larian once again turns to defense. He uses his magical rod and a small strip of leather and speaks the word Celomi, and suddenly he appears to jump two feet to the side.

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 20+2d8/42 - Spot +12 - Listen +12

The last of the acid sizzles painfully on Avril's skin as the dragon dived away, presumably to recover in some way. She wasn't sure how long they would last against these hit and run tactics, but they just had to try. And if that dragon breathed on them again, there was a good chance one of them might not make it.

Taking stock of her own wounds, she cast one of her powerful curative spells on herself, letting the wounds heal and the burning lessen. Larian was near her and safe, and she was reasonably sure the others were as well. "Siobhan, Tyrla? Are you wounded? Can you see Warren anywhere?" she called outside.

Meanwhile the great wolf took another bite out of the nearby hobgoblins, but these creatures and in particular their commander were stronger than Avril would've believed. The wolf tore into them, fighting ferociously. Avril was sure Scarlet would've overcome them easily, despite the wolf's great strength. Her ally had a greater spirit than that of the large wolf.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Breath Weapon Damage: 6 hp (after Acid Resistance 10). Avril casts Cure Moderate Wounds on herself, healing 2d8+6 hp damage. She then draws her wand of Snake's Swiftness. The dire wolf bites the hobgoblin at M24 or N24. Bite Attack: +13. Damage: 1d8+13. Trip: +13 (note that a hobgoblin that is tripped draws an AoO when getting up again).

[/SBLOCK]

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 22, AC 24, Child of Shadows stance

Warren grits his teeth against the pain of another arrow digging into his flesh, but knows that the best way to stop the last archer is the same way he took down this one. He focuses on thoughts of the sun and the desert, as Orlane taught him, and spins his blade around in a whirling flourish to summon back the power of flames.

(recovering the Death Mark maneuver as a full-round action)

 

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla spat an oath in a nearly unrecognizable language as the dragon fled. Muttering further imprecations, she raced forward to try for another shot...

OOC: With the haste still active, move up to the edge of the canyon (G 25). If she has a line of sight to the dragon, that is her target- otherwise she aim at the hobgoblin lieutenant; Eldritch Spear +10 ranged touch, 3d6 damage, range 250 feet.

 

[Dalamar]

Siobhan cursed as the dragon disappeared out of sight. She took a step back to the path and started feathering the hobgoblins.
[sblock=OoC]5ft-step to N-32 and full attack, focusing on the two hobbos on her side of the dire wolf. If one of them is wounded, that is the preferred target. -4 to attack due to firing into melee.[/sblock]

Initiative Round 6
Pender 25
Warren 22
Larian 15
Tyrla 14
Hobgoblin Warriors 13
Lieutenant 12
Avril 11
Dragon 9
Siobhan 4

Pender: Pender arms himself with the longbow, quiver, and the potions this round. The sword and shield remain.

Warren: Warren channels his martial training and prepares for antoher strike.

Larian: Larian creates a protective ward for himself that gives him the ability to avoid most normal attacks. (I also assume you would take another 5 ft. step up.)

Tyrla: Tyrla runs towards the edge of the cliff, ready to fire if the dragon makes himself visible. For now she takes a shot at the hobgoblin Lieutenant. Her eldritch blast deals 14 points of damage to him.

Hobgoblins: The prone hobgoblin stands, provoking an attack. By some incredible luck (nat 1) the wolf's attack of opportunity is avoided. He heads south towards Avril. The second hobgoblin also flees in that direction, making one attack against Avril. He fails to land a damaging blow. The remaining grunt in melee attacks the wolf and also misses. The one archer fires at Warren, but fails to make a mark.

Lieutenant: The commander strikes at the wolf a second time. His attack deals 19 damage to the wolf. He gives a slightly more specific order this time, still in goblin "Kill the summoner and then the one on the other side of the tower."

Avril: The dire wolf bites at the remaining hobgoblin veteran, hitting, and dealing 21 damage. The wolf also succeeds in tripping his target. Avril then heals herself for 8+6. She readies her wand for use.

Dragon: The wyrm takes a standard action to cast a spell (nobody really has a clear visual to identify it). He then takes a single swim-move closer to the battle.

Siobhan: Siobhan closes distance slightly and then fires three arrows into the awaiting hobgoblin flesh. The first two arrows hit, and the third is just barely deflected by the armor. The first arrow deals 9 normal damage, and explodes in a soft white burst of light on contact with the creature dealing 9 additional damage. The hobgoblin drops easily, opening the path to the other veteran. This one suffers 8 physical damage and 4 additional damage.

 

[Redclaw]

Larian, Transmuter 6, HP 14/29, AC 18, Fort +0/Ref +4/Will +3 after -2 shaken penalty

Larian continues up the walkway to the top of the tower, enjoying the limited cover that it provides. He surveys the scene and decides to prepare for the emergence of the dragon. With a word of arcane power, Veriferito, he augments his sight and concentration, ready to launch a precise attack.

[sblock=ooc] Move up to 60' to get to the top of the tower in square K26, then cast True Strike. [/sblock]

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Pender, Male Human Fighter 6

Pender gathers up the sword and shield, then turns his attention to his horse.
[sblock=OOC]I would assume grabbing the sword and shield is two move actions, but I don't know. If I have more time after grabbing the sword and shield, Pender will move toward Northwind (his horse) if need be, or start the full-round action of untying him.[/sblock]
