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

[Kalanyr]

"Yes, we should I suppose, maybe Mak can shed some light on that scroll."

Khelon heads out with Krindor.

"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.

(I used a Gather Information Check to determine how quickly and accurately you would find the right bar and room.) It just so happens to be the room right next to the one that Krindor inspected earlier. A faint memory of a lizardfolk male and a man arguing in this room can be recalled.

You are admitted, only to find that the room is empty, and the heating ducts in the floor under the bed have been opened. The bed is set to the side, and a ladder down the 5 foot wide shaft sits there.

(This takes roughly 20 minutes, to reach the room. The keep is behind you, and is waiting to enter and inspect the room himself.)

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)?

OOC:

OOC: I'm not sure what you mean by "not be able to attack one." Why wouldn't you be able to attack them, after they are within range? 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.

Now I'm not sure what you mean by "tower shield charge?" Almost everything delayed to act on the same initiative, one of the Goblins has a tower shield braced in two hands, and it stood there at full defense last round. If they advance, or you advance, you can attack each other as normal. Hell, everything so far is normal... it's just that nobody has moved within range of each other, and Khala managed to create quite a bit of trouble with that Grease spell.

Khala gets out of the path of the incoming goblins offering support fire when a goblin starts fighting.

"Good move, Khala! Now if we run swiftly enough downstairs we could leave them behind and find another way out." Mak whispers his idea to all of them.

OOC: there's a goblin fighting Brawn?

Brawn waits for a either a foe to get close enough for him to swipe at, or someone to have a plan and execute it.

"Why don't one of you look down there first, to make sure it's not a worse spot to fight these guys from?
They look like they could charge at any second."

OOC: (he's holding the line, and aren't the goblins within one-round's movement of Brawn? How could he disengage that easily? Well, they're not engaged yet, but if they charge...)

(Nope, Brawn's still not actually fighting anything.)

I'm going to resolve this round now, since it's rather simple... since that grease spell is active:

The tower shield bearing goblin looks back on his piled up friends, and yells a short slurred curse at them, he takes a 5 ft. step forwards, maintaining full defense.

The goblin pile up tries to stand up, the rear most one recieving a +2 bonus from the aid another check (succeeded) of his friend behind himself. 11, 19, 8. The middle Goblin manages to stand up, and moves forwards 10 feet, rolls a 7 of his reflex save, and falls right onto his friends again, now occupying the same space as the goblin in front of him.

Khala fires a magic missle burst at the lead goblin, and to her surprise the bolts seem to be absorbed into the lead Goblin's neck without causing any damage.

Brawn's got a readied action (or are you delaying?) to strike when something is close enough to hit, and sadly that's not the opportunity.

Regis follows Brawn's instructions and bolts down the stairs with a dash. (He's actually 60+ feet down there, but I left his letter on the map in the stairs square).

 

[Darkwolf]

Khala, surprised at the lack of effect the missiles had, pulls out a scroll from his organized cache on his hip and reads it.

Color Spray aimed at the head goblin.

I'm waiting on Reapersaurus and Lichtenhart. If one of you posts, I'll update. I just figure, this is a battle where options are plentiful enough, and you might have something up your sleaves.
