OOC: wasn't aware the ettercap would be an issue. if it is, could i place the DS on Freggo's square? with the aug 2, i can swap the ettercap with the goblin?

OOC: if not, just realised i can use forceful push (free action) to shove the ettercap out of that square! either's fine by me, [MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION]

At the last moment the Ettercap Fang Guard is pushed aside- the female Goblin suddenly appears... trapped!

New Map-

176 From below- Warning Slow Goblin stuck in the middle of you guys

Next up Kali and then Kyalia.
 

Take her alive if possible! She could be that witch Zerriksa talked about.

OOC: thank you [MENTION=16069]Goonalan[/MENTION]. I fear it's not going to go well for the goblin
 

GM: Is there anything that says you need to be able to see the enemy you are charging at?
OOC: This is debatable RAW but intent is definitely no, you only need line of effect when you make the attack. However, charging does require that each square of movement bring them closer to the target, counted as though squares of blocking terrain weren't there. So, Freggo's charge isn't legal because his first two squares of movement aren't getting him closer to his target.


Heeding Viator's words, Kali circles to cut off the goblin's escape, then strikes with the flat of his axes, trying to land a disabling blow. At first the altered balance throws him off, but he is able to compensate, landing a mighty wack with the flat of his larger axe, although the follow through from his off-hand is again hampered by the unusual attack.

[sblock=mechanics]Move: to G6. This provokes an OA, but if the goblin takes it, she knows that she'll take radiant damage from Velani and be at -2 to hit. I'm going to assume she either does not take the OA or misses with it, but if she DOES take it and hit....
[sblock=Goblin has a suicide wish]After Velani sears her with radiant damage, she swaps places with Kali and takes the attack in his place (possibly being missed) with Guardian's Counter. Then Velani gets to make a MBA against the Goblin. At this point, Kali will move to F10, then charge right back into the flank on the goblin,giving him CA on his attacks and an extra +1 to his (first) MBA. He'll then end by shifting to G8 so Velani can shift back into flanking.[/sblock]
Free: Assassin's shroud on the goblin
Standard: MBA on the goblin, use the shroud, miss
Action Point: MBA on the goblin, hit
No Action: add Power Attack to the MBA
Free: Dual Weapon Attack, miss
(possible Free: Aspect of the Cunning Fox shift to G8, only if Kali is attacking from F8 instead of G6)

End result: Kali does 22 non-lethal damage, regardless of whether he has CA/charge bonus for the attacks (I'm assuming the goblin has better than 14 AC). He winds up in either G6 or G8, and if he's in G8, then Velani got to deal radiant damage and make a MBA.

[sblock=Kali quick reference]For my convenience:
MBA (battleaxe): +9 vs. AC; 1d10+9
DWA (handaxe): +9 vs. AC; 1d6+7

Kyalia

Kyalia gets closer and aims at the trapped goblin. She doesn't appear to be fast enough to stand a real chance. Two arrows fly towards her, hoping to take her down.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Move: Move to E9
Minor: Hunter's Quarry
Standard: Twin Strike (can I do nonlethal damage with ranged attacks, too? If so, I will do so.)[/SBLOCK]
 

OOC: And here I am, ready to run Velani's turn, and I'm not sure what to do since our little chickadee has taken a whomper amount of damage and could likely be already out of commission.

Know I'm able at least once a day to keep up and read what's happening... just the connection is so slow from here that I basically click to load up the page, walk away, take a shower or something, and by the time I'm back 10 mins later I can finally naviagate it. I'm going to click post reply now, go an start some laundry, and it may or may not have posted in the interim...

gorgeous blue skies and blue waters... got to kiss a dolphin yesterday. having fun! thanks for watching over Velani too while I'm gone......... :)

Kali dodges around to cut the female Goblin off completely- she's desperate, the Goblin screams and lashes out with her Staff, after being burnt by Velani's Radiant power.

Still the desperate female Goblin lashes out... and almost drops her Staff, so bad is her aim.

Kali winks at his prey- delivering an Assassin's Shroud, and then lashes out with his battleaxe- he too aims badly.

But he's not done.

Kali draws in his axe and then clonks the female Goblin on the head...

The result is instantaneous, the female Goblin clutches he skull- which is clearly split open and bleeding profusely, she screams.

"Surrender... SURRENDER! Please- no more!"

The Goblin drops its staff and crouches down- hands still on head... clearly the victory is yours- should you want to end the fight now.

Velani

<in goblin> "Your strength is in your ability to survive, witch...you know it is better to surrender and live to breathe another day. I am, however, at my wits end with you and your kind today. I give you 10 seconds to tell me why I should spare you or I will personally deliver your soul to Maglubiyet. Speak now or die."

OOC: Hopefully everyone understand's Velani's beef with goblins vs. -ME-. :)

"Sinruth was right about you people..." the Witch bites off her remark, "I have the power to end you, and yet I chose not to- my guards have been destroyed, clearly you are powerful too. I can tell you much- I am important, even now a dozen or more Goblins will be awaiting my return- they do my bidding without question. You have the better of me, and yet I have information with which to buy my freedom- and this is my price. I will walk out of here, perhaps to face you another day and in another place... but I will tell you what you need to know- about Sinruth, about that maniac Lord Frazzle and about the Undead Lord that stalks the halls below, and- if you care, about your puny human woman, who even now is suffering..."

The Goblin Witch ends her tirade with a sneer.

She stands tall now, even though blood continues to pulse from the wound on the top of her head, she is covered with blood.
 

Kyalia

Kyalia lowers her bow for now, keeping a close eye on the goblin witch.

“You clearly underestimate us, witch. You are not even close to ending anything here, but your own life. But you are right. You do have information, that is more valuable for us than spilling your blood over these webs. So, tell us what you know, and you are free to go. Outside, and away from this place.”
