Feint Whispers Chapter #6: A Modest Proposal

[Krug]

Bhartus is fine with the watch and thinks Norri should go first. "He has more nervous energy to work off," says the dwarf. He asks for a small campfire to be built.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri shrugs again.

"First it is then, if everyone's happy with that," he says.

 

[Mirth]

"Sounds fine," Tarowyn says with a smirk, "I'll go, um, meditate, um, then."

The party hunkers down on the trail for a nite of rest. Each takes his watch in turn; first Norri, then Jericho, and then Bhartus. Tarowyn is ever vigilant as his more mortal comrades revel in their dreams. When Whitney and Mist rise in the darkest pre-dawn hours, the stars and moon are bright against the otherwise black sky. Only the modest fire set next to Whitney on the narrow trail provides any illumination to the forest floor.

Tarowyn: You spot a couple of small, shadowy figures approaching the camp through the hazey edge of the area lighted by the campfire and augmented by your keen elf sight; they are at a distance of about 45ft, wading through branches and tree trunks. They appear to be goblins, one advancing in a stealthy manner from the northwest, the other from the southeast.

Initiative: Tarowyn, Goblins(2)

OOC:Only Whitney and Tarowyn are conscience.

Tarowyn kicks Jericho awake (or kicks a rock towards his head) and coughs to get Whitney's attention, using body language to indicate the southeast. Mouthing "Gobs" silently, the elf turns his attention to the stealthy one to the northeast, letting him advance enough to get a clear shot, then quickly sends two arrows in his direction.

Whitney nods and acts like she's tending to the fire as she pulls her crossbow from her gear gently and sets a bolt by it. Apparently cleaning up to make something to eat as she rumages though pack.

OOC: Getting ready with her crossbow, concentrating on the one to the south.

 

[jasamcarl]

In response to Tarowyn's attempts to waken Jericho and alert Whitney, the goblins move without word forward 15ft, becoming visible thanks to the campfire; six more of the creatures are revealed by the light. Many duck behind tree trunks and toss vials of burning something in the midst of the party. Two break directly against Whitney and one against Tarowyn, burning their clothing while the others miss their intended targets and land various places around the party, splashing the hot contents onto the sleeping members of the Fist.

Tarowyn takes 5 damage. Bhartus takes 1. Jericho takes 4. Whitney takes 8. Norri takes 1.

Initiative: Jericho, Whitney, Norri, Tarowyn, Bhartus and Goblins(8). Jericho is up. Everyone is now conscience, though with the exception of Tarowyn and Whitney, they are all prone. Tarowyn and Whitney's clothes are on fire. The goblins are 30ft away from the camp, four on each side of the trail; six have cover behind trees; the one to the southwest and the one east of Norri do not have cover.

Bhartus tries to help Whitney put out the flames by smothering the fires with his cloak. If he's able to, he'll cast a Cure Light Wounds on the wizard.

 

[jasamcarl]

Bhartus whacks the goblin nearest him with his hammer.
"Foul thing! How dare you disturb our sleep?"

Say anyone still has a link to our char sheets? I did a search and couldn't find it..

I edited the map in the above post. Keep in mind Bhartus is 30ft away from the nearest goblin and most have cover. Everyone excepting Tarowyn and Whitney is lying on the ground.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri hops to his feet as quickly as he can, fishes out his crossbow, and loads it for use.
