Of Sound Mind III

[GnomeWorks]

"Ah!" Seraphina cries out as she dodges the oncoming javelins. It takes her a small moment longer than her companions to recover and assess the situation.

OoC: If it is possible for Seraphina to jump down the cliff face without falling...
Seraphina jumps nimbly down the small cliff, crouching low to the ground and trying to make herself as small a target as possible, while pulling out her light crossbow.

OoC: If it isn't possible to hop down the small cliff...
Seraphina takes out her light crossbow and loads it, while trying to press herself as flat as possible against the closest side of the cavern.

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

"Ack," the half-orc says, "it's a trap!"

Gholog stabs his glaive into the cavern floor (or leans it against the wall, if the floor is impractical), and readies his sling and a bullet.

Jason Master

Jason kneels close to the edge and fires an arrow at one of the goblins.

 

[Jarval]

OOC: Need an action from Kerrick. If I've not got one by tomorrow morning, I'll just assume a ranged attack against the closest goblin and post the update. It's a 20' drop down from where you're standing, so no way of getting down other than climbing or taking 2d6 damage. Gholog's going to be propping up his glave, as the tunnel floor is rough-hewn rock.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

Kerrick activates his vigor tatoo, and pulls out his mace.

 

[Jarval]

Initiative:
Jason: 15
Kerrick: 14
Goblins: 12
Gholog: 8
Seraphina: 6


Jason drops to one knee and looses an arrow at one of the goblins clustered behind the dragon. Despite the cover offered by the dragon's limb, his arrow strikes the goblin, dropping the creature. (To Hit: 16 + 2 = 18, Damage 5.)

Energy flows through Kerrick, and he feels his body reinforced by his power. Readying his mace, he presses himself against the tunnel wall. (6 temporary hit points gained from Vigor, and has 1/4 cover.)

Stung by the fall of their companion, six of the goblins hurl javelins the group, while one tends to his fallen friend. Of the six missiles, four go wide and two find their targets. One catches Jason on the hip (dealing 2 damage), while the other just catches Gholog's shoulder (dealing 1 damage).

Seemingly unflustered by this second close call, Gholog rests his glave against the tunnel wall and drops a bullet into his sling. Twirling the weapon quickly, he whips the ball of lead towards his foes. It narrowly misses and chips the stone floor behind his target. (To Hit: 13 + 4 = 17)

On the opposite side of the passage to Kerrick, Seraphina again loads her crossbow. Briefly leaning away from the wall, she shoots a bolt from the bow. The bolt whirls across the chamber and through the chest of the closest goblin, lodging itself in the hard skin of the draconic corpse behind. (To Hit: 20 + 3 = 23, Damage 8 + 7 = 15...) The goblin looks down at the spreading red stain in alarm, then wordlessly falls.


Damage taken so far:
Gholog: 2 points
Jason: 2 points
Kerrick: 1 point.

The goblins have 1/4 cover from the dragon leg they're standing behind.

"Nice." Seraphina says as she reloads her crossbow. "Let's do it again." She quickly aims at the next closest goblin and fires.

Reload, fire.

Jason Master

“Well, this feels much better than yesterday,” Jason says, pained by the javelin but pleased with the group’s luck so far. He reloads and fires a second shot.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

Kerrick grins wildly as he readies himself for his next move. Trying to stay low as he moves forward kerrick jumps off the ledge to the floor of the cave, as he falls he activates catfall to take some of the edge off the impact. then moves to make sure the dragon corpse gives some cover.

Jason Master

“Um...wow,” Jason says to himself, seeing this. “Hey Gholog, if that spider climb is still in effect, maybe you could go down there and help him out?”
