[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 1: Minotaur trouble and a failed ambush

[Ilan]

[Is it evening already, wow time goes by when you are doing nothing]

Consider my post to take place the next morning.

"Gentlemen, LET'S RIDE"

 

[Ravellion]

Does everyone agree with Ilan? Departing on the morning of the 5th?

 

[Bacter]

Ok lads... let's ride south-eastwards after a good breakfast! says Diactum on the morning of the 5th

 

[Spellsword]

WULF:

Let us ride, we have dwelled in this pit of urban deprivaty for far to long....my father would be terribly disappointed if he knew how few I have been up to now!

 

[Deepwinter 7]

OOC: ...

Let's RIDE

The first day and night are travelled peacefully on paths through the Amstradan farmland. On the sixth day of Brewfest festival however, around noon, you travel through a forest which would take too long too bypass. It rains heavily, and the ground is soggy. Nonetheless, some people apparently have gone out in this weather as well: you encounter a group of six humanoid shapes which seem to be in waiting. They might even be in ambush. The distance is generally about 130 feet, though they are spread about 50 feet amongst themselves.

The initiative order is:
Ilan: 21 (Not suprised)
Deepwinter 7: 18 (surprised)
Hobgoblin 1: 17
Human: 17
Wulf: 16 (surprised )
Goblin: 16
Diactum: 11 (Surprised)
Orc: 10
Tristan: 9 (not surprised)
Hobgoblin 2: 9
Bugbear: 3

What do you do? Trees abound so straight movement is not possible, missile combat is hindered because of rain, wind and foliage.

Please act in initiative order: if you are surprised, you can't do anything first round (which starts now), but in any case, do try to stay in turn. If you want you can post ahead of time, but the situation might have changed between your post and when your action actually happens, so beware. Next up: Ilan.

 

[Ilan]

I draw my bow and yell:
"Who are you, Identify yourself. Or I will shoot."

Tristan starts casting Divine Favor on himself

OOC: +3 to hit & +3 dmg for 1 min (10 rounds)

and informs the rest of the party about the coming danger.

OOC: @x%aG&# is that my initiative??

 

[Ravellion]

After Ilan says his words, you hear a shrill voice: "It's them! It's them! Attack!"

Ilan sees that some of the humanoid shapes don't seem to be paying attention yet. It seems to be a strange assortment of two Hobgoblins, an orc, a goblin, a human and a bugbear. The goblin seems to be hiding very well, and only Ilan sees him.

[OOC: Take, read Divine Favor again please]
