Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Goonalan]

Kali eyes Unholy Jeff with a view to a later assassination, but heads in to take a quick swipe at Groucho.

OOC: Drop an Assassins Shroud on Jeff (Free), and charge Groucho

Jeff suddenly develops an itch- it's in the centre of his back, he tries to reach it, scratches furiously- now with both hands, and hoping from foot to foot. The Goblin, still with his back turned and unaware of all that is happening behind him, is doing some strange chicken dance- or so it seems to those observing him.

Meanwhile Kali is in and hacking at Groucho, the Hobgoblin has still not stirred, and that's the second wound he has taken.

Watching his companions charge into the fray, Viator calls out:

Beware the robed one! I think he may be the one I sensed! Beware flames!

He reaches out with his power, trying to clear a path.

The rush of the others distracts him, however, and he struggles to focus

Dammit!

Viator's warning rings out- it has an immediate effect, Unholy Jeff stops scratching, he just heard his name...

He turns...

And stares...

"Wathhh!"

And stares.

Meantime Viator's arcane power fails to take hold.

New Map- as previous, when I catch up.

 

[Goonalan]

With a *wuff*, Gorm's figure dissolves, forming an attenuated line that aims at Groucho's heart. Faster than thought, Kyalia launches an arrow, trying to follow the line. From the top of the stairs, Ah-shahran's voice is barely audible to those entering the room: We must clear the way to get at the caster, for the grunts might surrender if we slaughter the master! The cackle that follows, however, is clearly audible to the entire room below.

[sblock=Mechanics]Standard: Spirit Infusion on Kyalia, enhanced RBA against Groucho with combat advantage and cover.[/sblock]

Kyalia is in action once again, another arrow notched... and fired- this one finds its target and Groucho takes his third wound the Hobgoblin is fading fast- bloodied already and yet has still not had time to launch his own attack.

I've already got Kyalia's next turn so I'll do that next.

 

[Goonalan]

Regular Round 1

Once the goblins begin to stir, Kyalia leaps forward, drawing two arrows, and fires them at the closest targets.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Move to M6; Hunter's Quarry on Hobgoblin #1 (Gung Ho); Twin Shot on Hobgoblins #1 (Gung Ho) and #2 (Grouch).

In case they are minions and already down, any extra attacks go to Goblin #3 (Unholy Jeff).[/SBLOCK]

[sblock=Thanee +8 To Hit?]
How do you get +8 for your bow, don't get me wrong you're probably right but- +4 Dex +2 Bow +1 Expertise = +7
What am I missing?
[/sblock]

Kyalia's first arrow's aim is true, Gung Ho takes a blow to the leg, that'll wake him up- the martial Hobgoblin still has not recovered enough to leap in to action.

Alas the second arrow whizzes high and wide, let loose in the pull back rather than the aim- an amateur mistake.

Goblin #1

Tomo, still covered in mud from the hard trek back from Fallcrest, dashes for cover, and in the process does his best to hide his position.

Then readies his aim, and...

<Splung!>

The tiny bolt finds its way through the fracas and in to Freggo's leg, happily it's only a scratch, Tomo however feels a modicum of pride, the fight back has begun.

Goblin #2

Spizz dives forward, does his best to hide himself behind the cloaked Unholy Jeff, all the time nudging the cloaked one...

"Get 'em Jeff, get 'em Master!"

He then steadies his aim, and squeezes off a shot, this time at the wild-man laying in to Groucho- Kali.

<Spuck!>

Another hit, Kali takes a bolt to the right shoulder and winces, the pain is terrible- they may be small but they bite these Goblins. The wild-man grits his teeth and grimaces, fights on.

Velani

"Jeff! Over here my little lisping kidnapper! BOO!"

[sblock=OOC
Minor: Defender's Aura: Aura 1, enemies are -2 hit anyone else and if moves or makes an attack that does not include Velani, takes 6 radiant dmg
Standard: charge to F6, provoking an OA from Grouch at +2 all defenses(heavy blade expertise) (unless he's still surprised), then MBA vs. Jeff
AP: Vengeful Strike vs. Jeff
Free: Heroic Effort if 18 vs AC misses
Free: Holy Smite - 5 addl radiant dmg vs. Jeff and Jeff dazed until end of Velani's next turn

Here were Velani's original rolls:
Vengeful radiant dmg vs. Jeff: 1d8 + 4 = 7
Vengeful Strike vs. Jeff AC: 1d20 + 8 = 18
MBA dmg: 1d8 + 4 = 7
MBA vs. Jeff, incl charge: 1d20 + 9 = 28
[/sblock]

Velani charges forward, getting far too close to Groucho- who at last sees his opportunity and lashes out with his flail at the Cavalier.

<WHUMP>

A critical hit that sucks all the air, and much of the sense out of Velani, she is stopped in her tracks.

[sblock=Grouchs's OA]
OA: Flail Velani- Crit 14 damage- Bloodied, Slowed and Marked (till end of Hobgoblin #2s next turn).
[/sblock]

Velani, cannot run on- her feet are like lead and her head... She turns back to stare at the bastard Hobgoblin, and swings hard- her charge has a new target.

[sblock=Velani Mechanics]
As above MBA on Unholy Jeff.

I didn't use your AP- message if you want me to do this- but I didn't use it for a good reason, think about it.

The Hobgoblins are turning out to be sturdy foes...

Freggo duels in his own mind

Freggo points his sword to the less injured hobgoblin and shouts, "watch this, villain, for you are next!" Freggo begins to dance around the still lethargic but injured hobgoblin, with feints, side-steps, and yells of "ha, ho, touche!" His sword begins to glow a beguiling and mesmerizing yellow color as he slips behind the foe, finally launching a genuine attack. The hit strike true, drawing blood, and also allowing Freggo's magic to flare and draw the Hobgoblin after him as he steps back next to the robed goblin. "Hi there, mister Jeff. I'll be your heroic opponent today!"

[sblock=Mechanics]
Minor Action: Aegis of Ensnarement on Hobgoblin #1
Move Action: Shift to H:6
Standard Action: Luring Strike, allowing a shift prior to attack to G:7 After hit for 5 damage, shift to F:8 and pull Hob#2 to G:7.
