Paths of Legend: The Sunless Citadel (IC)

[crazy_monkey1956]

OOC: Yes, during its move it was climbing so it is denied its Dex bonus. In addition, it doesn't have its shield readied, soooo...

As the goblin tries to scramble up to the top of the ravine, Ringrill chops off both of its arms at the elbow with one blow. Already dead from blood loss, its body tumbles back down into the ravine.

OOC: Next action - Athanil

 

[Atanatotatos]

ooc: something's not clear to me: can Athanil (or Ril) reach a goblin to attack him or does he have to wait it climbs further?

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

OOC: The top-most goblin (not counting the arms of the one that just died) is 5 feet down and so can be reached with a melee attack if you have a weapon with reach. Otherwise, you can try to target it with a ranged attack or wait for it to reach the top.

 

[Atanatotatos]

ooc:then Athanil will move close enough and ready an action to attack any goblin to come into reach, ordering Ril to do the same.

Here I am Ringrill! says Athanil in a confident tone, stepping behind his companion. Let the filthy creatures come. With a gesture, he calls Ril to his side, both man and wolf waiting for the enemy like troops on the wall of a city under siege.

OOC: Next up in the initiative - Merenita

 

[Yttermayn]

Merenita scuttles along the cliff wall straight to the bottom most goblin, envenomed fangs prepard to taste goblin flesh.

Rolling is a pain on mobile so ill roll damage if that hits.

Good to have you at my back Athanil.
Ringrill sheathes his sword and lends a hand to the next goblin. Careful now, you don't want to end up in the spider's mouth. If you don't resist you will be spared.

OOC: Let me know if I have this right. Since the next goblin is unarmed and climbing it cannot make attacks of opportunity. If this is the case Ringrill takes the following actions.

Move: sheathe sword

Standard: ready grapple attack

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

Merenita gets a taste of the rope above the goblin's hands, causing it to shriek in terror.

OOC: Yes, an unarmed combatant doesn't get to make Attacks of Opportunity.

The bottom most goblin continues to climb down.

Climb checks (1d20-1=14, 1d20-1=19)

OOC: This provokes an attack of opportunity from Merenita.

The top goblin says something in its foul language to the middle goblin.

[sblock=Click only if your character understands the goblin language]"Stupid elves offer us surrender. We tricks them, make look like we give up then attacks them."[/sblock]

In broken Common, the top goblin says, "We no can fight on cliff. We gives up."

He climbs up to the top of the cliff.

Climb check (1d20-1=9)

OOC: If Ringrill still intends to grapple him once he gets there, he can do so now.

OOC: This also triggers Athanil and the wolf's readied actions. If Athanil intends to wait, he'll need to make a Handle Animal check to stop his wolf from attacking (assuming the wolf knows the "Down" trick).

The middle goblin waits for the moment.

OOC: Once all the readied actions and Attacks of Opportunity are resolved we'll go to the next character in the initiative (either Athanil if he doesn't take his readied action or Merenita if he does, since his initiative count will move up to just before the goblins).

 

[Atanatotatos]

ooc: handle animal:21
Athanil won't take his readied action; instead, he will attack if the goblins take any aggressive actions like drawing a weapon or such, or if they try to escape.

 

[Wiggimuck]

Ok, first drop your weapons into the ravine.
Ringrill tries to get a hold on the goblin, but can't get into reach.
He won't let them pass until they have dropped their weapons.
