PH2- The Darque Portal (B4cchus judging)

[stonegod]

Xir keeps hidden, but looks quizzically at the human's motions.

OOC: Sound Xir make another Listen check or what, Phoenix?

 

[Phoenix8008]

After Kona'i motions for them to stop and listen, the others hear the sound of approaching footsteps and conversation as well...

 

[Boddynock]

Peladus looks around for some cover and moves behind any available. He draws his crossbow and loads a bolt, then waits for an appropriate target to present itself.

 

[Phoenix8008]

From around a bend in the tunnel, a small group of creatures suddenly emerges. The short, red skinned monsters must be goblins. Their pointed ears quickly perk up as they realize they are not alone. Shouting what sounds like a curse in their language, they fumble to grab at their weapons and attack.

OOC: You have the surprise round to act once before the goblins go next round. There are 5 goblins, the closest of which is 40' away. You all are in a 15' wide corridor. The goblins have two in their front rank and 3 in the next rank (45' away from the front of the PC's)

[lukfugl]

Kona'i loads his sling and looses a bullet at the nearest goblin. Unfortunately, in his haste the stone flies wild and does no harm to anyone.

[sblock="OOC"]Sling bullet at G1 unless the others finish him off during the surprise round. If so, just choose the target randomly, it doesn't matter. I failed horribly: 1d20+1=2, 1d4+3=7. [/sblock]

 

[Boddynock]

OOC: Invisible Castle won't accept my login - just sends me back to the previous page as "guest". Since my username is still apparently curent, I'm going to wait a day or so before making a new login. In the meantime, I'll post my intentions.

Peladus fires a bolt over Dair's head, hoping to strike the goblin directly in front of him. (OOC: G5) He then reloads.

 

[stonegod]

Currently unarmed, Xir takes a moment to form his luminescent blade and wait for the goblins to approach.

OOC: Move action to form blade. Likely that negates his hiding bonuses, but if it doesn't, he remains hidden (or tries to).

 

[covaithe]

Periwinkle takes the opportunity to chant a quick prayer to Galatea, asking for her blessing on the party.

ooc: Bless.

 

[Phoenix8008]

OOC: Sorry about the delay. They just changed the regs at work and we are no longer allowed to do any personal stuff on the internet at work. So I'm now restricted to posting in the evenings after work or the mornings before work. This shouldn't slow me down any more than I've already been slowed though, as it's been so busy at work lately that I haven't had much time to do anything there recently anyway. I don't have enough time this morning to do a full post for what needs done, so I'll be back tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest to NPC Dair if he hasn't posted and then advance to the next round.

 

[Phoenix8008]

-Dair being NPC'd attacks Goblin 1 with sling. Has sneak attack bonus since they are surprised and haven't acted yet. (1d20+7=10, 1d3+1d6=7) Dair misses on his first attack.

-Peladus hits G5 for 2 damage.

-Periwinkle casts Bless upon the party. (+1 on Atk rolls and saves vs. Fear for 10 rounds.)

-Xir summons his mindblade and awaits the battle.

-Kona'i fires a sling stone towards the goblins, but even Periwinkle's blessing cannot improve his aim enough to hit one of them.

---End of surprise round, beginning of round 1---

-Dair loads another sling stone and fires once more. Dair attacks G1 again. (1d20+7+1=23, 1d3+1d6=9) This time, he catches it right in the head and knocks it into bloody unconsciousness.

-Peladus and Periwinkle can go now. Nobody has moved, so just use the map from last round above except that G1 is down and not a threat any longer.
