Lets Get Crazy!

Bahuma, Bartlin, Arvin and Alek ready their weaponry and creep down the passage. Arvin is in the lead. Bartlin has his lance ready. Alek has already cast True Strike and readied a glimmering energy spell that makes his hand glow with magenta and white intensity.Bahuman is alongside Alek, since the passage is wide to allow for it- any charge Bahuman makes should be unimpeded.

creep creep creep...

creep creep creep...

Arvin stops and holds up a 'ready' finger.

OOC: STEALTH CHECK! Just using Arvin because he's in the lead (and he probably has the highest move silent right now..)

Arvin: Move Silent +9: 28
Goblins listen check: +10: 26

You have surprise! (this is a partial round where the four of you can act before the first round begins. The goblins are both flat-footed.)


Initiative Checks (init for anyone else fighting will be rolled next round)

Arvin +7: 27
Bahuma +1: 21
Bartlin +3: 13
Alek +4: 12


The group of four charges into the room, Arvin first, followed by Bahuma. Bartlin and Alek are close behind!
Arvin rushes along the south wall and brings sword down on the first thing he sees.. which turns out to be the spike-collared boar that is nosing around in some rubbish. It squeals excitedly. RheeeEEEE!!!!

Arvin hits, chopping it painfully. The boar suddenly snarls and turns to fight.

Bahuma thunders alongside, and manages to run right past the medium sized boar to attack the first goblin he sees, just beyond-- a savage looking goblin dressed in rough hide armor, carrying a sheild and armed with an undrawn scimitar.

The goblin is flatfooted so is AC 17 this round. Bahuma gets a total of 30.. and damages the goblin badly. The goblin had 63 hp, so is now down to 41.
Bartlin is next, making a more direct charge towards the goblin at the table. He attacks with his lance lowered like a deadly stinger! Bartin runs slightly past the goblins table and strikes from reach. The goblin looks surprised.. then angry at the wound Bartlin caused.

(I made Bartlin do that to avoid the 50% cover the table potentially provides, and to provide an easier line of sight for Alek). Plus he has reach so it's no sweat.

Alek remains at the opening to the cave, and casts his readied true-strike scorching ray which suddenly superheats the room, singing everything in it's path. The ray strikes the barbaric looking goblin solidly, despite the fact that he's halfway behind the table.

The arcane blast of heat seems to have hurt the goblin, but incredibly, he almost shrugs it off. He grunts something in Goblin.

OOC: The goblin barbarian G1 has 51 hp left (down from 69).

The goblins scramble for their weapons.

Revised Init:
Arvin +7: 27
Bahuma +1: 21
Gorosk (goblin barbarian) +3: 18
Pet Boar +0: 16
Kytheria +2: 14
Bartlin +3: 13
Alek +4: 12
Baksud (goblin druid) +3: 5

(back in the other room, what are the others characters doing?)

Kytheria

Hearing the sounds of battle emerging from the room only moments after her four companions entered, Kytheria shakes her head and whispers "...they might need me.." before closing her eyes. "My friends are in dire need. Grant me your love and light, and help me reach them in time, sweet Pelor." A set of angelic wings grow from her back, and she takes to the air, heading for the room.


[sblock] Casting Celestial Aspect from BoED. It lets me take on one of four aspecsts; Armblades, Fireeyes, Angelwings or Horns. I'll go with the wings, obviously.
1 standard action to cast. Lasts for 6 minutes. Can change aspect as a free action, but only once each round. The Wing of the Astral Deva aspect gives Kytheria a set of angelic wings, granting her a fly speed of 100 feet (good).
Kytheria will suffer 1d3 strength damage when she cast the spell.[/sblock]
 

Kytheria sprouts a pair of gleaming silvery wings and suddenly flies out of the room.

Kytheria takes 1 pt of Strength damage. In the next round she appears at init 14. At 100' move she can reach anywhere on the map.

"My friends are in dire need. Grant me your love and light, and help me reach them in time, sweet Pelor."

(init revised to include Kytheria in the next round).
 

Realising that this are not mere goblins, which would have been mashed into the ground after Bahuma's blow, the half-giant charges his weapon and brings it down again. "Feel the wrath of Bahuma!" he shouts, cleaving down upon the goblin again.

Strike: +12/3d6+9+2d6/x3
 

Yarin moves up to B12 to try and guard Alek.

OOC: I actually kind of figured I'd advance along with the others but stay behind to guard the casters, like the plan said. But this'll do as well.
 

Bartlin: Queens Knight 6

Bart strikes again his lance piercing the air with a buzzing sound from the way the metal is crafted. "They are tougher than they look but they're still goblins. Press the attack on the toady we have The Barbarian occupied."

Seeks the Darkness and Yarin suddenly realize they have nobody left to guard and run down the passage.

OOC: They'll require this whole round to reach the battle! (Kytheria was a special case- she had her wings and 100' move).

init repost:
Arvin +7: 27
Bahuma +1: 21
Gorosk (goblin barbarian) +3: 18
Pet Boar +0: 16
Kytheria +2: 14
Bartlin +3: 13
Alek +4: 12
Baksud (goblin druid) +3: 5


Arvin attacks the boar with his swords- his first strike is a devastating thrust that silences the squealing boar at once. As the half-dragon brings the second sword to bear, the boar drops dead at his feet.

Arvin rolled a natural 20! and then confirmed the critical hit (by 1 point!) on his first attack.

Bahuma charges his axe up suddenly- there is a whooshing vortex sound as the crystal axe gathers psionic energy... and swings it down at the goblin in the hide armor. "Feel the wrath of Bahuma!" he shouts, cleaving down upon the goblin again in a shockwave ripple of invisible force.

Bahuma does 27 damage.. grievously inuring the goblin druid, but not downing him. (He has 14 hp left). Also, Bahuma has expended his psionic focus.

The goblin facing Bartlin readies his greataxe and suddenly rages! He swings his axe wildly, trying to sunder Bartlin's lance.
The two weapons lock in mid-air.. the heavy goblin-headed greataxe against the slim halfling stinger lance. They meet with a thunderous crack!

The goblin rages. He is up to 65 hp and a lot stronger. Bartlin gets to take an attack of opportunity as the goblin tries to sunder Bartlin's lance. Bartlin hits. The goblin takes another 8 hp damage (he's now down to 57). Both the goblin and Bartlin have two handed weapons and are the same size: so opposed rolls:
Gorosk total: 25
Bartlin total: 30!


Bartlin's lance holds! The goblin barbarian circles around to Bartlin's left warily, searching for an opening.

Kytheria wings into the room.. pausing to assess the situation.

(Kytheria takes full defense! I put her at C11.)

Bart backs up as the goblin has closed the distance and gotten past the stinging end of the bee-lance. Once again his lance pierces the air with a buzzing sound. "They are tougher than they look but they're still goblins. Press the attack on the toady.... we have The Barbarian occupied!!"

Bartlin hits with a 24 and does 3hp damage. The goblin barbarian is now down to 54.

Alek takes full defense!

The goblin battling Bahuma suddenly steps backwards, flattening himself against the wall behind him, while casting. A vertical collumn of violent divine flame suddenly roars down, engulfing the area where Bahuma and Arvin are standing.

(The goblin takes a 5' step backwards removing him from Bahumas threat range, and casts flame strike- 10' radius, so big enough to catch Arvin and Bahuma).

Arvin fails his save (DC 16)with a 9.
Bahuma fails his save (DC 16) with a 4

FLAAAAAAAAMMMEEE STRIKE!!!!!!
Arvin and Bahuma each take 15 damage! Bahuma is now at 28 hp. Arvin is at 12 hp.

THIS ROUND: YArin and Seeks the Darkness run up!

So the init recap will be

init repost:
Arvin +7: 27
Bahuma +1: 21
Gorosk (goblin barbarian) +3: 18
Yarin +3: 17
Kytheria +2: 14
Bartlin +3: 13
Alek +4: 12
Baksud (goblin druid) +3: 5
Seeks the Darkness +0: 1
