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

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 22/39, AC 24, Assassin's Stance

Warren changes his mind as he watches the fight outside - the casters probably need his help, despite the annoying archer that remains a threat up here. He dives outside and down to the hobgoblin leader that's been barking orders, zipping across the bridge at great speed to strike that choice target in the back......

As he moves, Warren adjusts the shadows around him, lowering his shady cloak for now. Then he reaches the hobgoblin leader and strikes with all his strength, executing a mid-air flourish of the sword before he does so..... Then the hobgoblin leader, and everything around him, is engulfed in a burst of brilliant red and yellow flames!

[sblock=Actions]Move-action to fly down to space M-20, right behind the hobgoblin leader. Swift action to change stances, back into Assassin's Stance. Then initiating Death Mark against the hobgoblin leader, as a flanking sneak attack with the dire wolf. If it hits, then the dire wolf and the adjacent hobgoblin veteran (by the leader) will be caught in the Death Mark's fiery burst.

Short sword +15 melee, for 1d4+10+3d6 piercing damage. And 6d6+3 fire damage to the hobgoblin lieutenant, hobgoblin veteran, and the dire wolf, Reflex save DC 16 for half.[/sblock]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 28/42 - Spot +12 - Listen +12

Avril was surprised to see the hobgoblin come towards her. She'd really expected the dire wolf to take care of them. Then again, she'd become so accustomed to having Scarlet near her, that the thought of fighting without her was not something she was used to. Nevertheless, while her dire wolf raged in battle outside the tower, she used the power of her flaming hands and Larian's speed, to touch the hobgoblin twice with the flaming balls in her hand.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Avril makes two melee touch attacks against the hobgoblin with Produce Flame. Produce Flame Melee Touch: +7/+7. Damage: 1d6+5/1d6+5. The dire wolf, if still alive, bites the hobgoblin at M21 or N21. Bite Attack: +13. Damage: 1d8+13. Trip: +13 (note that a hobgoblin that is tripped draws an AoO when getting up again).

Dire Wolf, HD 6, hp 8/57, Spd 50 ft., AC 14, BAB +4, Grapple +17, Bite Attack +13 melee (1d8+13), Space 10 ft., SA Trip (+13), SQ Lowlight Vision, Scent, SV Fort +10, Refl +7, Will +6, Str 29, Dex 15, Con 21, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 10, Hide +0, Listen +7, Move Silently +4, Spot +7, Survival +2, Alertness, Run, Track, Weapon Focus (bite)

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla gave another quick glance to where the dragon had been, trying to choose her target for best effect. Arcane energy crackled around her hand as another bolt leapt toward her foe.

OOC: If she can see the dragon, target it- otherwise target the hobgoblin archer on the far tower; eldritch spear +10 touch, damage 3d6, range 250 feet

 

[Dalamar]

If the dragon has reappeared, Siobhan will try to add feathers to its hide. If not, she will move next to Avril and cast Cure Light Wounds (1d8+5).

Initiative Round 7
Pender 25
Warren 22
Larian 15
Tyrla 14
Hobgoblin Warriors 13
Lieutenant 12
Avril 11
Dragon 9
Siobhan 4

Pender: Pender grabs the sword and shield and moves to his mount.

Warren: Warren flies down to attack the Lieutenant, but his blade fails to pierce his plate armor. (3 rolled)

Larian: Larian moves up the tower.

Tyrla: Tyrla blasts the remaining archer dealing 10 damage.

Hobgoblins: The archer takes a return shot at Tyrla and then lays prone. He misses. The remaining grunt near Avril attacks, but doesn't make a mark. The remaining grunt attacks the dire wolf again dealing 9 damage which I believe is sufficient to drop the worg for the time being.

Lieutenant: "So at least ONE of you is brave enough to fight with a weapon? Good enough." The lieutenant counter-attacks Warren, but fails to land a hit. He takes 5 ft. step south.

Avril: Avril uses her flame against the attacker, striking twice and dealing 19 damage total. He drops.

Dragon: Sings a song about how his life got flip-turned upside down and he became the fresh prince of Bell-air. He'll also move a little closer, still staying fully submerged.

Siobhan: Siobhan moves to Avril and heals for 9.

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 22/39, AC 24, Island of Blades stance

Warren grumbles and says "Well it's no fun now.... Would you kindly explode like you were supposed to? .......No, I guess not, huh? Goblins are no fun at all..... Or are you a kobold?"

As he talks, Warren takes two jabs at the lesser hobgoblin near him, stepping closer to the hobgoblin leader as he does so. Then he twists the shadows around him with a thought, menacing both hobgoblins with ephemeral blades.

(ooc: the hobgoblins are considered flanked if anyone else moves up to them!)

[sblock=Actions]Taking a 5-foot step to follow the hobgoblin leader, and launching a full-attack against the other, lesser hobgoblin, since Warren figures he'll be easier to defeat first. Assuming the Island of Blades stance. Full-attack with Haste active is two attacks, so...

Short sword +13 melee for 1d4+7 damage, and
Short sword +13 melee for 1d4+7 damage[/sblock]

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Pender drops to his knees, skidding to a halt near his beloved horse. He puts his face near the horse's, and talks to him softly as he begins to untie him. "It's alright now, friend. I'll have you freed in no time. Then, if he's still standing, we'll ride down the beast that took us captive. After that, we find the rest of our friends."

[sblock=OOC]Using that full-round action to untie Northwind.[/sblock]

 

[Dalamar]

Siobhan feels the divine powers summoned by the scroll leave her.
"We need to lure out that dragon," she shouts over the din of the battle.
She takes a step towards the hobgoblin and looses another two arrows, aiming for the one that is blabbing about all the time.

[Redclaw]

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

Larian still can't get a clear shot at the dragon, so he turns his attention to the hobgoblin lieutenant. He focuses on the creature, his magically enhanced ability to take aim lighting the creature up like a bonfire in his vision. He drops the rod of extend and uses his suddenly free hand to draw an arrow from his quiver, setting it to the string of his bow and firing it with deadly accuracy. He then moves with spell-enabled speed to grab and loose another missile.
[sblock=ooc] two shots at the lieutenant. The first, with true strike and higher ground should be at +28, and the second should be at +8. Both do 1d8 damage. [/sblock]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 37/42 - Spot +12 - Listen +12

"Thank you," she said to Siobhan, her face already wet in the sweat and heat of battle. She glanced down at the hobgoblin at her feet, and mentally calculated what she knew of who was left. "The dragon will return. It won't stay away forever. We must wait for it and be ready to strike when it draws nearer. Be careful of its breath." Having heard the hobgoblin leader speak of spellcasters, she was sure that it was heading this way, but she trusted Siobhan and Warren to protect her. Deciding to give them more aid, she took a step outside the tower, activated her wand and gave Warren a sudden burst of speed and swiftness.
