The are all dressed the same as the Hobgoblins that you've seen so far; They are wearing studded leather armor, and each carries a small, wooden shield, a longsword, and a crossbow. Each of them carry 6 crossbow bolts, three bolts in a special holster on their right and left upper thighs. They look well-trained, and well-organized. But the party is still one step ahead of them.They balk as they discover the burning area of grease; they halt their charge, and kneel, preparing to fire their crossbows. But Sphynx is faster, and lets loose a trio of glowing, blue bolts, which slam into the lead Hobgoblin (H1).[gm]Magic Missile: 3d4+3 = 10 pts. damage.Hobgoblin #1 goes down. [-4, Dying][/gm]The Hobgoblin crumples to the ground, as the mystical, blue bolts knock the life from him!The other three Hobgoblins then fire a volley of crossbow bolts, aimed at Ordred and Nimbar.[gm]Ordred AC: 19; Nimbar AC: 22.Attacks: vs. Ordred: 15 (Miss); vs. Nimbar: 8,13 (Miss, Miss)[/gm]One arrow (the one aimed at Ordred) comes in too low, and shatters against the top, stone step. The other two arrows aimed at Nimbar both flie true, but bounce off of the magical field of protection that his two spells provide him.Hobgoblin #2 (in Goblin): "Esse é um mago!"[spoiler=If you speak Goblin]"That one's a mage!"[/spoiler]Nimbar lets loose his spell, another Magic Missile, aimed at Hobgoblin #2.Nimbar says, "You betcha'!" as he lets his bolts fly![gm]Magic Missile: 3d4+3 = 14 pts. damage.Hobgoblin #2 goes down. [-8, Dying][/gm]Following Sphynx's example, Nimbar blasts the second Hobgoblin into oblivion! The cruel creature drops to the ground, shaking in a fit of nerves. He is not long for this world.Ordred fires his crossbow at Hobgoblin #3.[gm]Hobgoblin AC: 15Attack: 23 (hit); Damage = 4 pts.Hobgoblin is seriously wounded [2 hp.][/gm]Hobgoblin #3 takes a bolt just below his collar bone, right above his heart; the bolt buries itself into his flesh, but is slowed somewhat by his armor. If he had been unarmored, the bolt would likely have been fatal. Nevertheless, it is a serious wound, and the Hobgoblin yelps in surprise and pain!Quixt move up beside Hawke, and despite not having enough time to properly do-in his sleeping opponent, he takes a "stab" at it, regardless.[gm]Hobgoblin helpless AC: 8 (Dex 0, Cannot employ shield)Hobgoblin is prone (+4 for Quixt's attack roll)Attack: (25) = hits; damage = 7 pts.Sleeping Hobgoblin #2 is down. [-1, Dying][/gm]It proves harder to penetrate the studded leather than Quixt expected, but nevertheless, his short sword accomplishes the task, wounding the downed creature in a grievous fashion, as the blade enters the lower abdomen. The helpless Hobgoblin begins to bleed out, as a wry grin crosses Quixt's face.Hawke, who DOES have the opportunity to do the job properly, smashes the head of a sleeping Hobgoblin like a ripe melon. The creature isn't gravely wounded; the creature is DEAD.[gm]Sleeping Hobs finish their first round of sleep.Grease burns for round 2 of 3.[/gm][spoiler=Battle Map]X's represent dead bodies.S's represent sleeping Hobgoblins.[ATTACH=full]121160[/ATTACH][/spoiler]EVERYONE: Noises of alarm and shouting can be heard in the adjacent rooms! State your intentions for the next round!</blockquote>
