Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[tiornys]

Ah-shahran says nothing, concentrating instead on listening to the reaction of the goblins. Meanwhile, Gorm flickers into existence amidst those remaining in the hall.

[Goonalan]

OOC: Good plan, tiornys! The I'd certainly be happy with Kali taking the bracers prior to sleepy time.

Freggo hides for now, waiting to see what action to take while the enemies are still likely to be surprised, depending on what his friends do.

Viator lowers his voice and turns to the others.

I suggest we draw them in so that they cannot go back and alert the others. Either that or we cleverly get them to turn back. I, however, cannot speak goblin.

“I will try to make them follow me...” Kyalia whispers, then the elf suddenly leaps up and darts through the room, shouting:

“Hah! You will never catch me alive! Long live the yellow circle!”


[SBLOCK=OOC]Standard: Move to B11[/SBLOCK]

OOC: Kali will indeed have the new bracers equipped.

*I'll try to cut them off!* whispers Kali, who then ghosts across the chamber, taking advantage of Kyalia's distraction to reposition himself behind the dead Ettercap.

[sblock=mechanics]Move to E8 with stealth[/sblock]

Kyalia dashes across the chamber- which causes the lead Hobgoblins to do a double take- 'the yellow circle!", clearly a rival organisation- the pair look behind them.

The female Goblin barks- the pair dash forward past the the Ettercap Fang Guard, which still has not moved, and after the Elf. If either one of them were to look left- which they will do in a few seconds more they will see, without a doubt, the young Swordmage grappling with the coccooned Goblin- the thing is swinging like a light bag (punchbag) in front of a heavy weight.

The female Goblin barks again- the orders each time translate as "Move!" The other two Hobgoblins move on up- the female commander suddenly stops, she's spotted the Ettercap Fang Guard ahead, it's clearly dead, to begin with she can see straight through it.

This is the moment, the last moment, surprise is yours if you want it...

Note I move Velani up a few paces, just to stay in range, I've not heard from larry in a while so... combat has not yet been initiated so, from the top again- Kali, Kyalia and Velani.

[Goken100]

Freggo leaps out from the deepest of shadows... the bright kind of shadows

Freggo picks up on Kyalia's ruse and leaps forward. "There's too many of them! I will sacrifice myself so you may escape! For the yellow circle!" He does his best to get himself surrounded and cause his enemies to become overconfident.

[sblock=Mechanics]
Surprise round standard: Move to G:6. Would make a charge attack on the G:5 hobby, but since not each step of the movement got Freggo closer, I don't think it's allowed. If anyone gets off an OA on Freggo, his AC is +2 vs. OAs (bringing AC to 23).

[tiornys]

Kali lets his axes do the talking

Rising up from behind the dead ettercap, Kali launches an overhead cut at the nearest hobgoblin, hoping to create an opening to swing his smaller axe as well.

[sblock=mechanics]Standard: MBA on H#2 Tumb
Free: Aspect of the Cunning Fox shift to E5 F7 E7 (no idea what happened to my reading "skillz" there, but it looks like we're going with E7)

I'm guessing that misses, but I'll throw in my DWA attack just in case[/sblock]

Kali is a menace to Goblin society, his battleaxe finds the spot, just, and delivers a terrible wound, the first Hobgoblin gasps for air and then sinks. The second takes a hand axe to the face it steps back screaming and duly expires.

Satisfied the Shifter pulls back behind the suspended corpse of the Ettercap Fang Guard...

Can you take them all out in a surprise round? I'm pretty sure you can- good play gets the reward, a well set up ambush.

Next up Kyalia and then Velani...

 

[Thanee]

Kyalia

Kyalia turns around, seeing most of the goblins still on the stairs, while the two, that followed her already fell to Kali's axes. She raises her bow and fires two arrows at the remaining hobgoblin grunts.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Twin Strike (on one or two hobgoblins, starting with F6, and if he goes down, continue with G5)[/SBLOCK]

 

[Thanee]

OOC: Nice rolls!

Kyalia is a blur of action, in the stair way the female Goblin turns to her guards and...

<THUNK>

The first Hobgoblin clutches at its throat- collapses forward.

<THUNK>

The second Hobgoblin clutches at its chest- collapses backwards.

The female Goblin is all alone...

[Goken100]

Freggo does... what I said up there

Freggo runs forward with every intention of charging the goblins, but most are dead and he has to navigate a rather awkward sharp turn to the right.

Standard: Move to F:6
