[ic] nameless I: prologue

Round 2 cont

Archer glances around quickly. Lisa and Oscar stand 5ft in front of Archer, and between him and the goblin {g}. Thirty feet beyond them all, another goblin {f}, having thrown his javlin, is reaching for his morningstar. Archer could work around behind the goblin {g} battling with his friends, but that in turn would expose his back to the approaching goblin {f}.

About 20ft to the left of Hewik, who stands behind Lisa left shoulder, the goblin who tripped {i} lifts his head to spit out dirt. Archer waits, {held action} uncertain how to proceed.

Right behind Archer, the goblin {k} presses Jimni. Jimni desperately tries to ward him off with his bow, and to his surprise is successful. The goblin {l} to the right, a trickle of blood running down from where Sadolath conked it with a bullet, stands motionless, his shield hangs by his side, his weapon slips from his fingers. The third goblin {m}, his way through blocked, moves left and around behind where you had all been crouching. Nathan is looking the other way. But Sadolath sees it.

Jimni is too busy to notice. He swings his bow at his opponent and cries out in horror as it splinters across the goblin's shield, leaving him holding a two foot stump.

There is a shout and a scream from the center of the field as a javlin finds its mark, piercing the knights side. He knocks it away, swinging sword and shield in large sweeps to keep the goblins at bay.

Hewik steps up and swings at the goblin {g}. But the goblin sees him coming and his morningstar catches Hewik a glancing blow across the head {AoO: 3 dam}. An inch down and it would have dropped him dead, but as it is he retains enough of his senses to strike back. But not enough to get past the shield.

The goblin {j} approaching Nathan slows a little, glancing at the motionionless figure at Nathan's feet then back at Nathan, then around the clearing {held action}. It waves its javlin around a bit but comes no closer. The goblin {i} spawled in the clearing scrambles to its feet {mv action}.

Seeing the goblin distracted by Hewik, Oscar lunges at the goblin {g}. The shot is nicely timed, sliding beneath the shield and into the chest {std action}. The goblin snorts and collapses.

Sadolath has one good clear shot, so he takes it. Not quite as fine as his first, but sufficient to draw blood. Goblin {m} screams and hurls its javlin back at Sadolath, catching him a nasty blow, that also draws blood {Std action: 4 dam}.

ooc: Archer - I didn't see a move consistant with your intentions that made sence. So I held it so you could see how things change. Archer, Lisa and Nathan have held actions, as well as a couple of goblins.

I have rolled three 19's so far. Only Oscar's counted, but I gave Sadolath a stun for his (19+6 but no banana? doesn't seem fair.) Have I got everyone? TH, I'll be with you in a mo.

"Hewik! Lisa! cover the Hurt Halfling. I'm going to aid the Knight." Oscar yells and runs off to the knight's goblin. He will flank the goblin with the knight. and attack as he can.

Hearing Jimni's cry of alarm, Archer instinctively spins his body around toward the sound, the business end of his staff a millisecond behind his torso (ooc: as if he held long baseball bat) as he swings wildly at the creature he finds there...


ooc: BAB: +1 / Staff: d6+1 | Sorry 'bout that. I should have been more concise in my description. I just meant that he was going to kinda go down the hill as a "free safety" helping anyone out who needed it rather than confronting one himself.

"Fetch" say Hewik, pointing a javelin who have been thrown, out of the combat.

For this turn, Hewik stay in Full Defence near Lisa, and wait for Prince to take back the javelin.
 

Shadoloth scans the area to see if any of the foul goblins are within a range to threaten him at the moment.

ooc: Spot +4

Depending upon his observations he will:

If the coast is clear, he begins to chant, beseeching the spirits of the forest to heal his wounds.

ooc: Cure Light Wounds

If he is in immediate danger, he will instead lift his staff from the ground and brace himself for a Full Defence.
 

Round 2 wrap up.

ooc: Greegan: your post was clear, it was just that there wasn't much he could do at that point, so I held his action so you could do something like this.

Archer whirls around, seeing Jimni and the goblin at the top of the slope behind him. At this point the top is only about three feet above the clearing. Perfect. Archer, gripping the staff in two hands, steps, swings, and catches the goblin across the back of the neck {std action + 5ft step. got the double: 20/6}. The goblin steps back a step making small gurgling noises and collapses in a heap, its head at a strange angle.

The goblin {f} approaching from the group in the centre starts yelling and gesticulating to the other goblins around the knight. Its obviously not happy. One of them {a} starts yelling and gesticulating back. Its even less happy, but is bigger and sounds meaner. The first goblin move cautiously forwards a couple of steps. {held action used}.

Nathan and his goblin continue the stare off. Then it notices the other goblin {i} now on its feet. There is a rapid fire streem of shouts and cries. Gobbldigook. But it involved a lot of pointing at Nathan {goblin's held actions used}.

Round 2 done.

ooc: Argent: There are currently 4 goblins around the knight, and one half way between you and them.

ooc: Sadolath: The goblin who threw the javlin is about 15ft from you. Full defence may be the way to go.


Will get onto round 3 tonight.

So surprised by the feel of the goblin's skull cracking beneath his heavy blow, Archer very nearly drops the staff. After the briefest moment, he composes himself and, when he's sure Jimni is looking, he tosses his weapon to the weaponless bowman and picks up the goblin's shield and weapon (morning star?) before facing the nearest {f} gob.

"Rrrrraaagghh!!!" he screams in a momentary rush of adrenaline...


ooc: He'll only toss the weapon to Jimni if he's pretty sure he'll catch it AND if he doesn't have another weapon handy. Also, I'm just assuming picking up the weapon and shield will be my standard action for the round.

As Cromwell runs, he pulls out his mace and straps on his shield. What has St. Cuthbert sent me today? he thinks to himself. I will do my duty, or fall in attempt. Most would not take much comfort in such fatalistic thinking, but Cromwell does.
