From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[Uzumaki]

"Go!" Florian yells to Lucas and Khudaglun, doing the best he can to get himself positioned between them and the hob/goblins on either side of them. As soon as they start making their way toward the door, he'll hustle backward with them.

 

[Inez Hull]

Khudaglun groans inwardly at the thought of having to retreat from Goblins, but he realises that his companions perhaps lack his 'dedication' in fighting against them. He bellows in rage but makes a withdrawal, trying to cover his companions from being caught in the room.


OOC: Khudaglun will delay his initiative so that he is the last of the PC's to flee the combat and then flees himself.

 

[Vargo]

Khaira takes another potshot at the Blue, providing covering fire for the withdrawing troops. As soon as she gets her shot off, she moves back to the "entrance", and repositions herself to take a shot at the first non-partymember who shows up, unless somebody closes the door first. If they close the door, she runs like mad with the rest of the party.

The party continues to move fast. Lucas, Khudaglun, and Florian reach the door before the humanoids decisively react. The two hobgoblins and four goblins begin charge the door, striking at Lucas and Khudaglun. One lucky goblin almost takes off the dwarf's head (critical threat), but catches him in the arm instead (1 damage). Khudaglun also feels something prickling at his brain, but he throws it off.

Eshand and Khaira spot the blue staring intently at their friend and send shots his way. Khaira misses, but Eshand's bolt punches the weird creature in the shoulder (5 damage).

Actions, please.

 

[Vargo]

Khaira steps back around the corner, and casts Ghost Sound. A voice yells out in Draconic, "Ready the crossbows!" As three kobolds bark out their yelping laughs, another calls out "Shhsh! You'll ruin the ambush!"

 

[Inez Hull]

Khudaglun will hold his post by the door until his comrades have retreated and will then flee himself.

OOC: Delay and then double move

 

[Catulle]

(OOC - Double move in retreat again)

 

[National Acrobat]

Not having the skill to fire into or through a crowd, Eshand continues to back up. He'll keep an eye out behind as the group retreats to better position.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

While holding the door until the others flee, Khudaglun is hit again by the miserable goblin (3 damage). Once the coast is clear he bolts down the hall after the others.

Khaira's "kobolds" have quite an effect. It takes a moment for the noise to register on the goblins and hobgoblins, but they begin falling back to the throne room and shouting out a warning.

 

[National Acrobat]

"Nice work," Eshand compliments Khaira, "nice work indeed."
