[QUOTE="LazarusLong42, post: 1136101, member: 9620"] [i]OOC: My apologies for being so gods-awful late with this. So's y'all know, I'm in the process of planning a wedding (coming up on the fourth of October) so my attention here will be spotty at best for the next couple of weeks. I'll try to check in... well, at least as often as I have been. <sigh> Onto the good stuff...[/i] The third goblin inside the room grabs a longsword out of its scabbard where it was hanging on the wall, and slices at Arkan, landing a blow to her shoulder. She puts her hand to the gash, feeling the blood well up. [i](7 pts of damage)[/i] Nojin and Grunlor take their defensive positions in the main corridor, watching for anything untoward. Nojin hears footsteps coming from deeper into the cave, but cannot see anything. Baril moves forward (with the lamp) and thrusts his rapier at the goblin engaged with Tuli, who crumples to the floor. Nylarra, meanwhile, also takes up a position in the corridor... just in case. Tuli, left without a target, moves to flank the goblin attacking Arkan, and slashes with her short sword, tearing flesh out of the rear of its knee. Grinder takes up his defensive position in the hallway with the other dwarves. Arkan swings at the goblin with both weapons, but is unable to connect as it dodges madly--and in fact its shrieking about its wound seems to have made it harder to hit. Brevin attempts to charge in, but finds his way somewhat impeded. However, he is able to reach the goblin attacking Arkan, and connects with the top of its head, sending it crashing to the floor. Four of you are now in a room that smells of both goblin and human sweat, along with goblin blood. The other four of you are in the cave's main hallway, guarding the doorway and passage to where your comrades just finished fighting. Grinder and Grunlor, with their darkvision, notice three goblins heading toward them from deeper into the cave... just as the goblins' darkvision allows them to notice two dwarves standing in their cave. Next actions? [i]OOC: Inits: Nojin: 19 Grunlor: 17 Baril: 15 Nylarra: 13 Tuli: 11 (18 Dex) Grinder: 11 (12 Dex) Arkan: 8 Brevin: 1 Mech: Goblin (3): attack roll 18+3 = 21 hit; damage roll 6+1 = 7. Baril: attack roll 14+1+2(flk) = 17 hit; damage roll 2+1 = 3. Tuli: attack roll 15+0+2(flk) = 17 hit; damage roll 1+3(sneak) = 4. Arkan: attack roll 10+1 = 11 miss; attack roll 10+1 = 11 miss. Brevin: attack roll 15+2= 17 hit; damage roll 5+2 = 7. I rolled to see which of the dwarves are deepest into the cave. It seemed to make the most sense. :) The goblins are just about 50 feet away.[/i] [/QUOTE]
