Deus Ex Machina

[Necro_Kinder]

Craft moves forward to the next goblin and attacks, not hearing that the colonel has fallen

[sblock=OOC] Attack= 9
I'm just gonna assume that misses [/sblock]

 

[Mellubb]

Frustrated beyond belief that this goblin is still alive Fixem attacks yet again.
Missed Again!!! (1d20+6=12)

 

[Eryndur]

As Dog secures the horses with Erran and Spike racing to meet him, the rest of the 6th continues to battle the surprisingly persistent goblins, to little avail. In particular, a smaller than normal goblin with a snaggle-toothed grin continues to leap and dodge his way through the mighty swings of Fixem and Grace.

One of the creatures steps around to Spider's back, so that the rogue is surrounded, but the warforged's surprising dexterity affords him the ability to dodge the flurry of attacks from both sides. The last remaining archer takes aim at Spider, but Spider feints to his left at the last second, which brings his opponent in front of the arrow, and the archer looks on in dismay as his fellow soldier is slain by his own hand. The other two goblins continue to nip and bite with their swords, but they can't penetrate.

Meanwhile, the guards, thoroughly shaken and white-faced, look warily at Erran for orders.

[sblock=OOC]End of Round 4. Your turn. Updated map:

[Redclaw]

Erran tries to swallow away his shock and discomfort, then turns to the guards. Each of you grab a horse and get moving. Find the rest of the retreat and report in on the colonel's death. In fact, if one of you can do it, bring him along to see him properly honored. We've got separate orders.
He continues to get horses ready for the rest of his unit. Once he's sure that he and Dog have secured enough mounts between them, he shouts to the rest of the 'forged, It's time to ride, Tin Soldiers! Quit dancing and finish them.

[Zurai]

Grace is silent as it maneuvers into position to flank the goblin frustrating Fixem, unleashing a rapid series of thrusts and slashes as it moves.

[sblock=OOC]Grace's attack and damage, round whatever-round-this-is (1d20+5=6, 1d8+3=5)

... critical fail. I want a new d20![/sblock]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Ya, ya!" Dog calls, in the regulation cry to get the horses going to meet the other units. They could not afford additional damage or deactivation of the other units, not with this important mission in the works.

OOC: [sblock]Just want to move the horses as close as I can to the others.[/sblock]

 

[Forgefly]

Dropping the unconscious goblin, Spike rushes back into the melee to get his comrades out.
He rushes up to the goblin between Fixem and Grace and grabs the goblin, but is unable to get a grip sufficient to destroy him.

OOC:[sblock=Action]
Touch Attack, Opposed Grapple, Unarmed Damage, Spiked Damage (1d20+2=14, 1d20+6=10, 1d6+2=8, 1d6=2)

Craft, now seeing that the rest of the squad is trying to get a move on, swings at his target once more.
