Day 10: Being the 10th Day of Mirtul, in the year 1493 by Dale Reckoning, known as the Year of the Purple Dragons, about twenty minutes tops after the last session started.[/B] Victory for the Unexpected, oh- but have you noticed: Lappoy is no longer in charge, it's more of a democracy, particularly as Pete (playing Krago, Mohag, Trebbelos & Yor) and Dave (playing Sho-Rembo, Sir Glen & Sosspan) are obviously mobbed up. It's remarkable how quickly Lappoy has become a bit part player in his own show. That was unexpected, or not. These sessions are very short, and here's the deal- one of the buggers (the players) confessed to me, the idea is to play short sessions and more often, because between sessions (I am such a kind fellow) I am oft-times minded to hand out a few inspiration points. Inspiration points, obviously, are particularly handy in this kind of game. But, here we go, the goblins are very mostly dead and we're situated in the lair of the goblin chief... Bad Koff, the goblin chief, is made to point out all of the various luxuries that he has hidden about his lair- treasure. Trebbelos is particularly unhappy with this fellow and has to be talked down by Sir Glen, prevented from blasting the goblin-bastard to hell. Remember Trebbelos has been prisoner of the goblins for the last week or so, it has not been a pleasant sojourn. However things are moving quickly, although not quickly enough... keep reading. The Unexpected are very keen to get back to the Keep on the Borderlands and level up, and buy some more stuff- potions of healing are high on various PCs shopping lists. [ATTACH type="full"]146453[/ATTACH] [B]We want to go home![/B] But, as stated above, they're not quick enough to get away. The Unexpected however are positioned to watch the passages hereabouts. When... [ATTACH type="full"]146454[/ATTACH] [B]A heavily armoured hobgoblin tromps around the corner, and gets shot at by Yor with his heavy crossbow- the dragonborn fighter is off target, alas.[/B] Yor cries out a warning, and he can hear that the hobgoblin has friends- there are more of them coming. Bugger! Here we go again. Goblin chief Bad Koff starts shouting and wailing to be heard, encouraging the hobgoblins to come and rescue him from the Unexpected. Mohag thumps the goblin chief and then slings him over his shoulder. The Unexpected thereafter move off swiftly to investigate Yor's shouts. Note chief Bad Koff is beyond bloodied, he has been roughly tied, he's unarmed, of course, and he's been robbed. Yor, meantime cleverly retreats from the approaching hobgoblins, cleverly because the foremost hobgoblin comes rushing after the dragonborn and runs into him, blade in hand, just around the corner. The charging hobgoblin is bloodied in an instant. However this is a hobgoblin patrol, and there are four of them, and so they all come rushing, alas this however necessitates them taking a double move. Sho-Rembo hits one of the closing hobgoblins with a Produce Flame spell. [ATTACH type="full"]146455[/ATTACH] [B]Hobgoblins, much tougher than goblins, and organised- and armed and dangerous. There's a lot of missing going on from the Unexpected.[/B] To make matters worse Bad Koff, the goblin chief, manages somehow to wrestle himself free of Mohag's grip, and goes running off still screaming to be rescued. Note Bad Koff's hands are tied but not his feet. Lappoy meantime blasts an approaching hobgoblin with a Fire Bolt (and for max damage) but the creature doesn't fall (and it was already wounded by Sho-Rembo). They're tough. The Unexpected are starting to have doubts. The agreed tactic therefore is- kill the hobgoblins but at the same time, if possible, retreat out of the cavern. In short- survive. Mohag smashes the badly wounded hobgoblin down with his greataxe, max damage again- shame the big humanoid only had one hit point left. But, then Sir Glen cuts a second hobgoblin brute down and the remainder of the patrol look a little more panicked. [ATTACH type="full"]146456[/ATTACH] [B]Note Sir Glen is standing on the body of the second fallen hobgoblin, also note chief Bad Koff is on the run.[/B] Lappoy orders his guards (Wormwood & Scrubs) to fling their spare spears at the fleeing goblin chief, Scrubs hits with a Crit, but still the goblin is screaming, and running on. [ATTACH type="full"]146457[/ATTACH] [B]Seconds later Sho-Rembo hits the nasty bastard with a Produce Flame, and... Bad Koff is no more.[/B] But then one of the remaining hobgoblins in the patrol is off and running too- back the way he came, and screaming for reinforcements (Lappoy tells his friends) and very clearly it's time for the Unexpected to leave. Lappoy blasts the last hobgoblin in the fight, a difficult shot with his Fire Bolt, thank the gods he rolled a Crit, and yet the creature survives. [ATTACH type="full"]146458[/ATTACH] [B]Lappoy is heading for the exit, but hang on... where's Garby, the goblin they captured earlier, he was left tied up and... the High Magicker spots a loop of rope abandoned on the floor, and starts screaming to his colleagues.[/B] “Retreat! Get out of here, NOW!” Mohag hits and Crits the last member of the hobgoblin patrol, and that's the end of him. [Hobgoblins- better fled than dead 300 XP] The Unexpected ship out as fast as they can, except for Krago- who hangs around a little while to empty the pockets of the fallen foes, he finds a total of 10gp, so that was well worth it. [ATTACH type="full"]146459[/ATTACH] [B]The Unexpected are making for the exit.[/B] But suddenly... [ATTACH type="full"]146460[/ATTACH] [B]There's another armoured hobgoblin patrol coming rushing towards the party from the opposite direction, the Unexpected are going to have to fight their way out.[/B] There are fewer groans than I expected around the VTT, they're getting confident. Sho-Rembo hits the nearest hobgoblin with her sling, Sosspan also clips the terror with a Fire Bolt, but still the brute comes charging. And then Garby the goblin comes rushing into sight, screaming and pointing in the Unexpected's direction. “Get the bastards!” The hobgoblins definitely don't look happy about being given orders by a goblin, but... here they come. [ATTACH type="full"]146461[/ATTACH] [B]Another hobgoblin patrol, these guys are armed and dangerous.[/B] But just to say that so far this session the Unexpected have not taken a single point of damage yet. Yor stabs a hobgoblin with his longsword, Sir Glen misses the same foul fellow, and then again with his inspiration point. [ATTACH type="full"]146462[/ATTACH] [B]But then...[/B] Another hobgoblin skids to a halt, longbow in hand and sinks an arrow into Sir Glen's gut (for fifteen damage, Martial Advantage rocks), the paladin of the Morning Lord falls, and he's down and dying. The players are suddenly a lot more concerned. Sho-Rembo kills the badly wounded hobgoblin with yet another Produce Flame. Sosspan slams a Fire Bolt into the hobgoblin archer, for max damage again, but the tough bastard survives. [ATTACH type="full"]146463[/ATTACH] [B]Trebbelos, now he's second level, has a spell left- Burning Hands! He's playing the hero here.[/B] The flame is enough to end one of the hobgoblins and singe the others, the dragonborn sorcerer burns his inspiration point to run away into cover. Sir Glen makes his first Death Save, he makes it with a '20'. There is giggling. The paladin staggers back to his feet, clutching at his side (briefly), and then stabs the nearest hobgoblin in the shoulder, seconds later Scrubs (as ordered by Lappoy) stabs the big goblin brute down (and with yet another Crit). Sho-Rembo swirls another sling stone into the closest hobgoblin and now this fellow is also suffering, and staggering. Krago rushes in and smashes the hobgoblin in the face with his battleaxe- dead. Then Unexpected are kicking arse here. [ATTACH type="full"]146464[/ATTACH] [B]Just one hobgoblin and Garby left in the fight.[/B] Garby is looking particularly green, the goblin is terrified. The last hobgoblin standing fails to fire an arrow into Krago and so departs at speed, back the way it came, screaming and shouting as it flees. “Intruders! Intruders! To arms!” In goblin, remember Lappoy is translating for his colleagues. Sosspan rushes in and attempts to grab hold of Garby, but that doesn't work- the ex-prisoner escapes the dragonborn sorcerer's clutches and then rushes off screaming, and boy is the little feller quick. [ATTACH type="full"]146465[/ATTACH] [B]Mohag and Yor go chasing off after the last member of the hobgoblin patrol, and Garby.[/B] Sho-Rembo, with an inspiration point, swirls again and DING! Yet another hit with her sling. The last hobgoblin skids to a halt, it can't escape, and so attempts to stab Yor dead, not a chance, the brute orders Garby to flee and spread the word. Garby does as he's told, he flees, and he's quickly out of sight, although the Unexpected can still hear the little bastard screaming in terror. Trebbelos hits the last hobgoblin standing with a Ray of Frost, it survives, but only just. Mohag smashes it down dead. “Flee!” Is the order from Lappoy, although its not an order its a consensus. The Unexpected scarper. [More hobgoblins die 500 XP] And I'd love to tell you that the Unexpected make it all the way back to the Keep on the Borderlands without a random encounter, but... But, the encounter rolled is with a patrol of guards returning to the Keep, who- after Lappoy and a few others have a chat, and a few coins exchange hands, are happy to accompany the adventurers home. There is an awful lot of cheering. Silly old buggers (I include myself in this, of course). The Unexpected get back to the Keep on the Borderlands, and rest, and relax, and level up, and sell and buy a variety of stuff. Hurrah! But that's all she wrote for this session. The pot is up to £47. Stay safe and well you lovely people. Toodles for a bit. Cheers the Unexpected and goonalan. [/QUOTE]
