Paths of Legend: The Sunless Citadel (IC)

[Atanatotatos]

You asked for it, Goblin!! says Athanil, and as he hits the ground with his staff, Ril jumps forth and tries to bite at the goblin's leg, but fails to reach him, Athanil swings his staff at him but the goblin is quick and evades the second attack too.

[sblock=ooc]curse, I rolled two 9s!! The worst thing is, I rolled a 17 on Ril's trip attempt!!! damn...[/sblock]

OOC: Next action - Merenita

 

[Yttermayn]

Merenita ascends, straddling the rope to block escape and attacks the goblin still climbing.

The goblin shrieks as Merenita's fangs come dangerously close to his foot.

OOC: Next action - Ringrill.

 

[Wiggimuck]

Ringrill finally gets a finger on it.

Touch 20
Grapple 13

Forgo subdual damage (I'm just trying to make sure the goblin doesn't go anywhere).

I understand. What's this apple? I can get an apple when I please. Where did you come from?

Grapple check (1d20-3=6)

Ringrill gets a firm hold on the goblin.

The climbing goblin moves off the rope, using the hand and footholds carved into the cliff wall to try to get around the spider and down to the ledge below.

Climb checks (1d20-1=9, 1d20-1=8)

Unfortunately for the goblin, its sweaty hands cause it to slip.

Falling Damage (2d6=11)

It falls to the ledge below with a bone crunching thud, its neck twisted at an odd angle.

The goblin in Ringrill's grasp attempts to wriggle free, shrieking, "Keep wolf away, keep wolf away!"

Escape Artist check to escape Grapple (1d20=15)

OOC: Ringrill needs to make another Grapple check to keep a hold on the goblin.

OOC: Next action - Athanil.

 

[Atanatotatos]

As the goblin manages to avoid Ril's fangs again by retracting his leg, Athanil puts away his staff and helps Ringrill hold him firmly.

ooc: touch attack 19, grapple check to help Ringrill 12

 

[Yttermayn]

Merenita takes a moment to scan the lower area of the ravine in case anything else could cause them trouble.
Spot, with Darkvision: (1d20+6=10)
Then she turns and climbs up to the lip of the ravine to listen in on the conversation with the goblin.

The Ravine

OOC: We'll call this battle over since the last goblin has effectively surrendered. I'll record 133 XP each for Merenita, Athanil and Ringrill in the Rogue's Gallery thread.

Merenita spots the sack the last goblin was carrying, still lying next to its corpse.

Meanwhile, the surviving goblin squirms half heartedly but realizes that it is defeated, "Apple is magic! No let spider take it!"

OOC: Spot checks please.

The sky has begun to darken with the coming sunset.

The Old Road

OOC: We're back to regular posting for both groups now, so we'll be moving on from here.

The group makes good time and can see the dark scar in the land as the Old Road turns toward the Ashen Plain. Delber recalls that the Ashen Plain was so named after an epic battle with a red dragon named Ashardalon that resulted in the dragon's defeat.

The sky has begun to darken with the coming sunset.

OOC: Spot checks, please.

 

[Scott DeWar]

spot check:
1d20+1=11

OOC: see spot, see spot run, see spot run and hide, caus delber has no ranks in spot, just wisdom.

Delber speaqks alot to lenya during the trip , talking about how the barrin plain was the ashen result of a battle against a dragon lost and ...blah blah blah...the result of which he does not notice much more thenhis own voice.
