[QUOTE="doghead, post: 1347653, member: 8243"] Archer draws himself up to his full height. Like everyone else, he had been crouching down at the top of the slope to make himself smaller and harder to see. Seeing Oscar at the bottom Archer steps and jumps down the short slope to cover his back. [i]In the clearing:[/i] Two of the goblins {f,i} loping across the clearing slow a little, but it is only to heft up and throw their javlins. Lisa seems to be the target. She vainly tries to evade it but it catches her a nasty blow to the side. She lets out a sharp scream. Blood begins to stain the fabric of her tunic. The other javlin wobbles harmlessly overhead, the goblin who threw it stubling and going down face first into the dirt (two 1's!) The other goblin lifts his morningstar and charges into the group at the base of the slope. Lisa, at point, again takes the brunt of the attack. The goblin takes her quarterstaff blow {AoO} on the shield, but his blow she also manages to just side step. [i]At the top of the the slope, from the right:[/i] Jimni scrambles back up the slope on all fours. Unfortunately, that puts him right in the path of one of the goblins {k} comming in from the right. Maretta steps back and launches a stone at the approaching goblin. There is a clunk as it bounces off something. Jimni just has time to jump up to his feet before the goblin charges into him. Jimni has nothing but his bow in hand, and he lashes out at, but misses {AoO}, the approaching goblin with that. Fortunately for Jimni, the goblin's attack is also wild and he is able to easily sidestep it. The other goblins {l,m} slow and move in more carefully, unable to close before you can ready yourself (now 5-15 ft back). [i]From the left:[/i] the goblin {h} slows slightly as he takes in Nathan's size, then leaps into to attack. Nathan just manages to get himself ready before the creature closes. Nathan's two handed sweep {AoO} with the hammer slips under its shield and the goblin crumples with a grunt and wet crunching noise. The third goblin {j} slows a little at that, coming to within 20ft of Nathan. [SIZE=1]ooc: {1} One from the fight in the clearing [f], and one from the forest to the left of you [i]. ooc: Hewik and Nathan: you have a standard action remaining. ooc: Oscar and Sadolath - you are up. Given the actions that have happened, you may choose new actions if you wish, but let me know either way. You have the full action set available, but you need a move action to ready yourself as you have been crouching. Sadolath, you have a clear shot (7ft) at l, who has just moved out from behind k.[/i][/SIZE][i][/i] [/QUOTE]
