Of Sound Mind III

Gholog

"Uh, sure. Anybody coming down with me?"

Gholog will grab his glaive and any one volunteer, and hurry down the side of the precipice, trying to use the dragon's corpse as cover.

Another arrow flies from Jason's bow, and another goblin falls. (To Hit: 17 + 2 = 19, Damage: 5.) The one tending to the wounded pitches forward, the shaft of Jason's arrow protruding from his back.

In a move that startles both his companions and foes, Kerrick launches himself off the edge of the drop. A moment of focus and he lands squarely on his feet, taking most of the sting out of the fall. (Kerrick takes 2 damage from the drop.) Running forwards, he crouches down alongside the dragon's body, out of view of the goblins.

The goblins start to panic at this sudden ground assault and the rate at which their companions are being felled. Two of them pick up morningstars and circle around the gigantic corpse, looking for the insane psion who just dropped from above. The three other hurl another volley of javelins at the group gathered above. Two miss, but one squarely strike Seraphina, thudding hard into her leg. (Seraphina takes 4 damage.)

Gholog bounds down the rocks, joining Kerrick beside the dragon.

Seraphina loads and shoots again, but the shot goes wide, bouncing off the dead dragon's snout. (To Hit: 5 + 3 = 8.)

A bellowing cry of rage comes from the north, Kerrick and Gholog both turning their heads to see the raging goblin from yesterday coming charging down a ramp from an archway just beyond the dragon's tail. He's making straight for them, sword in hand and frothing at the mouth...


Damage taken so far:
Gholog: 2 points (not at 6/12 hp).
Jason: 2 points (not at 8/18 hp).
Kerrick: 3 points (now at 5/8 hp).
Seraphina: 4 points (now at 6/10 hp).

Three goblins taken down so far, five more to go. And the barbarian, of course...

Seraphina's brow furrows as she grasps the javelin in her leg. "Ah, bastards." She mutters, reloading and aiming for a goblin.

Reload, shoot.

"Ever think we bit off more than we can chew?"

Gholog readies an action to attack the raging goblin.


"Nope, i just decided to stop holding back. If these damn goblins want a fight, i'm givin then one." Kerrick says this as he points at the frothing goblin, and with a little concentration activates his concussion tatoo. "there's a present for ya, little fella!"


{OOC; shouldn't my HP's be higher then that? Using vigor supplied some temp hp's by my count i should still be at least at full hp.]
 

Jason Master

Jason’s eyes burn with a lust for the blood of the one who brought him so close to death.

“By all the gods of all the lands under the sun and moon,” he swears, removing an arrow from his quiver and taking aim, “by all that is sacred, and all that is sin, I vow to send this creature to the shadows beyond the blackest night, to a world of nightmares and pain.”

He’s getting really into it as hatred sets into his eyes. Never had Jason been as scared as he had been the other day. Low curses continue to escape from his lips and do not stop until the creature is either fleeing or dead.

He fires.
 

OOC: Update coming tomorrow morning. And Sir Osis, you're right, Kerrick should be at 11/8 hp, I'd entirely forgotten about the vigor.

Sent with a curse, Jason's arrow hits solidly, lodging through the barbarian's forearm. (To Hit: 20 + 2 = 22, Crit confirmation: 9 + 2 = 11, Damage: 6) The goblin seem almost not to notice, and continues his charge down towards Gholog and Kerrick.

Which suits Kerrick's plan just fine. His tattoo slithers off his arm, and scuttles up the ramp, it's amorphous form lunging at the goblin's ankle. The tattoo vanishes with a rolling BOOM tearing at the goblin's leg, and sending small splinters of rock flying. (Deals 9 points of damage)

The wild, frothing goblin screams in pain and pure fury, then hurls himself at Kerrick. His longsword arcs in a two-handed blow, and would have taken Kerrick's head had it not been for the mind-armor than surrounds the psion. As it is, the blade suddenly stops dead in mid-air, less than an inch away from Kerrick's neck. The goblin howls in frustration, and snaps his blade back to a guard position.

Another three javelins fly upwards, one striking the wall beside Seraphina, one wildly sailing away down the tunnel. The last grazes Jason's cheek just below the eye, causing the monk to stagger back a step.

The two other goblins slide down the side of the dragon's corpse, sending a shower of scales down on Gholog. They land either side of the half-orc, and both swing their morningstars. Gholog weaves first right, then left, easily avoiding the ill-aimed attacks.

Taking this chance, Gholog lunges at the raging goblin, hitting him in the leg already injured by Kerrick. (To Hit: 12 + 5 = 17, Damage: 8) Blood pours onto the floor, and the wild goblin almost slips, his leg starting to buckle under his weight.

Seraphina shoot again, and strikes the goblin who threw the javelin at her. (To Hit: 18 + 3 = 21, Damage: 6) It's a good shot to the chest, and he slumps forwards.


Damage taken so far:
Gholog: 2 points (now at 8/18 hp).
Jason: 4 points (now at 4/12 hp).
Kerrick: 3 points (now at 11/8 hp, including temp hp from vigor).
Seraphina: 4 points (now at 6/10 hp).

Goblin barbarian: 23 points (now at ?/? hp).
 

"All these people getting into hand-to-hand, it's going to make shooting them difficult." Seraphina observes to herself as she reloads her crossbow. She takes aim at a goblin not in hand-to-hand, and fires.

Reload, shoot.

OoC: Where are all the remaining goblins? I don't want to shoot into melee, so it's important.
