From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[GruTheWanderer]

Suddenly, sounds of combat erupt from the next chamber. Human and dwarven voices shout out battle cries and goblins cry in pain.

Hurrying around the corner you find your find yourselves at the south end of a fifteen by forty foot chamber. Another half-wall cuts across this chamber near the north end. Apparently a group of six goblins once stood sentry behind the wall. Now two are dead, two are fighting for their lives in melee with two humans and a dwarf, and two have climbed over the wall to seek cover (on your side). Behind the human fighters a spellcaster is visible.

Before you can join the attack, the two doors on the western wall of the room swing open and hobgoblins pour into the fray.

Actions, please.

 

[garyh]

Quendros attacked the adjacent hobgoblin with his longsword.

OOC: One more Excel mapping tip - it's helpful to include a letter/number grid along the sides, so I could have declared I was attacking the hobgoblin in B8, for example.

 

[Catulle]

Axe raised, shield ready and eyes dark with rage, Lucas tried to smash down the goblin before him. If he made space for his comrades, he was sure they could build momentum to stem the tide of hobgoblin reinforcements.


OOC - Attack the goblin directly in front of him with his battleaxe.

 

[Inez Hull]

Khudaglun bellows with rage and lashes out with his handaxes at the Goblins in front of him.

OOC: He makes a full attack with both his handaxes, firstly against the one directly in front of him. If he drops it he then attacks the one diagonally adjacent to him. He has two +1's against Goblins from both race and favoured enemy.

 

[National Acrobat]

Eshand will Magic Missle the hobgoblin that is behind the one that Florian is engaged with.

 

[Vargo]

Khaira's voice raised in exultant song as she broke into an elvish war chant.

OOC: Inspire courage

Farah made mystical passes in the air, conjuring up a bolt of enchanted energy that unerringly smote one of the goblins cowering behind the barrier.

OOC: Magic missile

 

[Uzumaki]

“Whoa!” cries the boy to the right of the doorway, before steeling himself and, greatsword in hand, attacking the hobgoblin in front of him.


OOC: Florian will attack the hobgoblin in front of him. He has a +4 to hit, and also on initiative.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

The massed adventurers struggle against their foes. Swords and axes are met by hobgoblin shields and weapons. None of the fighters are able to land a blow on their foes.

Eshland wounds his target and Farah drops one of the goblins as Khaira begins singing. Moon wounds one of the hobgoblins with his dagger.

I'll report the enemy attacks after lunch.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

The goblins and hobgoblins swarm further into the room. The melee fight remains a stalemate, although Ashrem is hit by a javelin.

A new enemy becomes visible to the combatants on the south end of the room. A blue-skinned goblin steps into the doorway and projects mental energy at Lamont. The big warrior is stunned, and the surrounding hobgoblins prepare to fall on him.

 

[National Acrobat]

In the next round, Eshand will cast Hypnotism on the Blue Skinned creature. Single target, the DC will be 14 due to the combat that is occurring (normally it would be 16).
