Not With a Bang, I: Its Own Reward

[Zerth]

Baril holds a thumb up with a wink to Tuli for a job well done. He then motions to the fighters to advance further as the trap has been disabled. The bard will stay in the rear himself, concentrating on showing the light to his companions.

Arkan

Arkan motions the noisy fighters back. Then silently motions Tuli to accompany her. "The two of us should be able to handle them if they're sleeping. Follow us once things get started." She whispers to the others, before setting of down the hall moving silently.

Brevin rolls his eyes when Tuli states that it would be more fun to set off the trap than to disable it. He moves close to her. "Well done," he whispers. "And much quieter than setting it off."

Brevin will then follow the others, keeping somewhere in the middle of the group to be prepared to assist with healing if needed.

Tuli and Arkan sneak silently into the room, noticing a heavy smell of goblin sweat. There are three total goblins; one looks rather beefy, like the large goblin the group fought outside, while the other two are a bit scrawny.

Arkan points to herself, then to the largest goblin; then to Tuli, and to the next largest goblin. The message is quite clear, and Tuli heads over to the smaller goblin while Arkan moves to the largest goblin.

Each of them unsheathes their swords and, simultaneously, they plung them into the most sensitive spots of their adversaries. The larger goblin awakes momentarily with an ear-splitting scream, then falls limp. The smaller goblin, however, wakes as Tuli plunges her sword through, then grasps the sword and attempts to fight back.

The scream has also woken up their friend, who nearly hits the ceiling as he sits up in the top bunk, startled. He scrambles for a weapon.

OOC:

Actions, please? I'll post init shortly

Notes:

Manzanita: You'd all but said "coup de gràce"; I figured I'd give you the most favorable situation possible.

For the record, Arkan hit for 2d8 + 8 = 20 (6+8+8) points of damage, and the larger goblin couldn't have made the DC 30 Fort save.

Tuli hit for 2d6 + 1d6 = 8 (1+3+4) points; that goblin made his Fort save (roll 17 + 4 = 21 vs. DC 18). Of course, he's lost a few HP...)

I've made some assumptions about actions here to get things going; let me know if this isn't what you would have done.

 

[Manzanita]

Arkan

Arkan leaps at the third goblin, attempting to kill it as quickly as possible with sword and axe.

OOC: yes, coup-de-grace was the way to go. Thanks.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Now that there has been a fair amount of noise from the goblin room, Brevin charges down the passageway and will attack the nearest goblin if one is within reach.

OOC: Since his mace was already in hand as specified in an earlier post, he'll perform a charge attack, assuming that he can get to a goblin. Otherwise, he'll just enter the room with the goblins and prepare for combat.

 

[Zerth]

If he can reach the goblin, that Tuli is fighting, Baril will attack with the rapier he's holding, possibly flanking the goblin with Tuli. If he's too far away to attack, the bard will just move a little closer.

 

[Shalimar]

Tuli gives a dismayed scrunch of her nose at the racket that the larger goblin has made, and she does her best to down her foe quickly, using both her shortsword and her dagger at the same time.

 

[Zerth]

Double post

 

[Rybaer]

Grinder grunts in annoyance at the goblin's noise. Fearing the whole place will come bearing down on them, he casts Mage Armor on himself and then gets his crossbow back at the ready. His focus will be on others approaching rather than the dispatching of the waking goblins.
