(LHHS) The Light Hearted Hack n' Slash Game (II)

[Kalanyr]

"Perhaps I should speak to Diana, if she does not strike me dead then the guard captain is obviously hiding something. "

 

[Dalamar]

"And if she does strike you dead, we are in big trouble because we aren't supposed to be talking with her. Besides, we can't reach her before tomorrow."

In Goblin, the Goblin Commander orders the front man to hold his guard while everyone readies themselves.

Mak stands ready to do whatever harm works, as the foremost goblin raises a tower shield in front of the group. The goblins right behind him sink up their initiative (refocusing for 20), and the last goblin fighter in line hands a Heavy Crossbow, and 8 bolts to the goblin behind the one holding the tower shield.

All other goblins refocus this round.

Regis and Khala move forwards, Khala creates an area of grease. All three standing goblins fall down, into a mess of trouble.

I'm assuming Brawn doesn't see the need to cast create water, with Grease already active, and instead refocuses for next round.

New Initiatives:
Mak - 20
Regis - 10
Khala - 7
Brawn - 19
Goblins - 21
Goblin Fighters - 20
Goblin Commander - 25
Halfling Cleric - 19

OOC: Is there a door at the end of the stairs, or any other obvious way to block the passage?

 

[Kalanyr]

"Perhaps we should see if we can track down the others or see if one of the priests here has a clue about what this paper means. "

 

[Dalamar]

"Yes, I am getting slightly worried that they might have gotten into trouble. Where should we start looking for them?"

 

[Kalanyr]

"Probably try the local taverns. "

 

[Dalamar]

"Shall we go then? It shouldn't be hard to know if they have been seen, considering that Brawn is twice the size he 'should' be."
Krindor heads out, navigating to the closest inn/bar/tavern/etc.

OOC: Am I correct in interpreting that Brawn could STILL be rushed by the goblins and not be able to attack one (other than an AoO maybe)? Forget the Create Water question - that was only if it was a mexican stand-off type situation, and it doesn't appear to be (it's hard to piece together). All Brawn has done is hear the goblins running down the hallway and cast Shield of Faith while moving over to guard an entranceway to make sure they weren't allowed to stream in and attack them with superior numbers. If they're gonna delay to act together behind a tower shield charge, I'd hope that Brawn would get an attack as they advanced if he's been waiting for it. If that's the way it is currently, than ignore this - it's just hard to understand from the initiatives.

Not so far as you can see, the stairs go down at least 30 feet before it seems to enter the hall. Although you can make out the distance, you don't have a line of sight to the end of the hall from the top of the stairs, so you can't tell if there is a door at the end of it.
