Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vigwyn the Unruly" data-source="post: 3946826" data-attributes="member: 20345">Pender, Male Human Fighter 6Pender swears under his breath as both he and his horse fail to connect with the hobgoblin. Isn't this the same dunderhead he has bested in the wrestling ring time and time again? Suddenly, he feels a rush of speed as he is seemingly imbued with the power of the stranger's spell. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Pender takes advantage of the speed to hack at the smelly hobgoblin, reveling in the feel of the sword biting into the beast's flesh.Pender's mind is confronted with several sights and emotions almost all at once. The hobgoblins' leader is dropped by magical force bolts coming from one of the strangers. Pender's own wizard friend produced these force bolts on many on occasion, but Pender thought this was a solitary wonder and was unaware that others might have the same power. But Pender's amazement at this display of magical prowess is quickly replaced by a shock of avarice as he sees his uncle's sword falling from the limp hand of the leader, dropping with a dull glint onto the dust-covered flagstones of the bridge--how he has longed to wield it again! Then fear and surprise as a great rolling ball of flame speeds toward him and the hobgoblin. Apprehension takes a turn as the female aasimar steps over the leader's fallen body to move up the bridge toward him.Finally, resolve. Pender witnesses the courage of the aasimar in wading into the battle at considerable risk to herself to heal her friend in an act of tender mercy. He is touched by her bravery and her faithfulness to her friend, which remind him so much of the camaraderie of his own band of friends, now broken. He commits himself to helping these strangers finish off this battle, without consideration for his own hide, or that of his horse. Turning back to the hobgoblin, he continues the attack.[sblock=OOC]Ride check to Guide with Knees, so both Northwind and Pender can attack (+11, DC 5). Ride check to Fight with Warhorse, to direct Northwind to attack (+11, DC 10).Northwind and Pender both attack the hobgoglin. Pender MW longsword +12 (1d8+4). Northwind hoof +6 (1d6+4).If hobgoblin is NOT dropped by initial attacks, both will go to Full Attack. Additional attacks will be: Pender MW longsword +7 (1d8+4), Northwind another hoof +6 (1d6+4), and bite +1 (1d4+2).If hobgoblin IS dropped by initial attacks, Pender will still use Full Attack option, but between attacks, he will drop longsword as a Free Action and use his Quick Draw feat to draw his bow as a Free Action, then fire an arrow at the dragon as his second iterative attack: MW comp longbow +4 (1d8+2).Pender's AC is back to 15, and Northwind's is 14.[/sblock]</blockquote>
