Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" CLOSED

[Steve Gorak]

Keldar dismounts and says grimly:"As long as I stand, I shall hold the trees". Looking at his spellcasting companions, he says:"If there's anything your magic can do to help me, now's a good time to do it."

He then readies his spiked chain, for easy access, gets his bow and starts shooting the charging. ONce the goblins are 20 feet away, he'll grab his chain and wait for them to come into the area he threatens.

[sblock=OCC] Strahd, FYI, Keldar has combat reflexes, so he gets a total of 4 AoO. This will come in handy as the goblins come into his spiked chain's 10ft reach. Also, those goblins loose their dex bonus to AC, so Keldar extra sneak damage (2d6) should apply[/sblock]

Allyra

“I can cover one of our flanks with a Web spell,” Allyra says. “Just needs some anchor points, like between the trees. Should hold off the goblins from one side for a while, at least. Maybe I can even catch some of them within the strands.”

Round 3

My sword will take many lives before I'll die, For Glory!
Shouts Maor and guides his horse to spring forward to meet the goblins.
*Cling* sounds are heard all around the area, followed by a *Woosh* of the arrows as they fly in the air.
Several of the goblin archers surround the cliff and slope down to meet you.
"We're going to have to keep to the trees!" Garon Exclaims as he dismount from Arodan and sends him behind to cover his rear flank.
"If we can force them to come to us we'll be in better shape, stay close so they can't surround us"
Garon readies his shield and sword for the swarm of goblins that come.
Eliyyad has just a couple of clear shots. Smiling grimly, he begins casting. "What a good thing fireballs can slip around corners." The Fire specialist conjures up a ball of fire, then send it to explode among the goblin's ranks, 3 archers fall burning from the cliff and seven goblin skirmishes scream in pain and fall dead, several trees catch on fire on the snowy slope.
But it seems Elliyad's fire trick is no match to the burning fire in the goblin's eyes, those of you who understand goblin hear the shouts
[sblock=goblin tongue]
Plunder, kill!!!
[/sblock]
The swarm of goblins rushes forward, down the slopes and covers the distance almost completely, several charge Maor while other engulf the party from north and south.
"Kill them!" Calls Gorash and fires a bolt, one of the goblins falls instantly with the bolt in his firehead. "Show no mercy!!"
Keldar dismounts and says grimly. "As long as I stand, I shall hold the trees". Looking at his spellcasting companions, he says "If there's anything your magic can do to help me, now's a good time to do it."
He then readies his spiked chain, for easy access, gets his bow and starts shooting the charging. His arrow strikes true as one of the charging goblins falls with arrow in his chest

Turo Berenwocket - AC23, HP 60/48

Turo curses in gnomish as he realizes that he is going to have to hold the left flank, but is determined to hold fast. The gnome walks forward, ducking beneath the nearby horse, and clanks his morningstar against his shield. "Feel the wrath of the gnomes, uglies!" calls Turo, even as he silently summons divine aid to fuel his body for the coming fight.

Even as Turo prepares to meet the coming wave of goblins, a powerful eagle's cry breaks over the battlefield. A large winged creature, seeming a combination of horse and eagle, appears in mid-air. A blur of white, silver and gold as it flashes toward the goblin archers on the cliffs, it dives on them with deadly talons extended.


Move to AA19, use divine vigor for +10 speed and +12 hit points for 10 rounds.

Celestial Hippogriff appears in square T23, moves (fly speed 100'), attack goblin in H33 with claw (Claw +6, damage 1d4+4).

Allyra

Looking around, Allyra decides that Turo's flank needs the most help currently, and casts her spell. Sticky strands of the conjured web appear between the trees and rocks, making it difficult for the goblins to advance further. Then the Wizard slips back behind Garon and Gorash.


OOC: Cast Web (DC 17) on intersection W16/X17; Move to AB32.

 

[Boddynock]

Eliyyad curses as the terrain which shields him also shields the goblins from his most damaging spell. He conjures three glowing, needle-like flames of force which fly unerringly to strike the three nearest of those skirmishers surrounding Maor.

[sblock=OOC]Casts Magic Missile, directing one missile each against M22, N21, L21.[/sblock]

 

[Steve Gorak]

Keldar looks at the charging warrior and shakes his head:"Maor, come back to the trees. Let them come, so the archers won't shoot!" he screams in exasperation.

He continues shooting his bow, trying to free up Maor of the goblins surrounding him (OCC: and should get sneak damage because of flanking).

 

[Saracor]

Garon steps around the rock he's next to in order to engage the closest goblin. He swings at that one, mindful of the others approaching him and those coming around to the middle of the group. He keeps Arodan at his flank to cover him and attack any goblins that get near.

[sblock]
5' step to Y34

Full attack starting on Goblin in X34. If more goblins get near him then he'll use any remaining strikes (if any) on them.

Arodan will ready an action to strike anything that gets near him.

Round 4

Surrounded from all around, Maor pulls out his sword and begin to strike but there is too much distraction and he fails to hit the small creatures.
The goblin archers decide to station in new positions, they advance forward and take covers behind trees and boulders.
Looking around, Allyra decides that Turo's flank needs the most help currently, and casts her spell. Sticky strands of the conjured web appear between the trees and rocks, making it difficult for the goblins to advance further. Then the Wizard slips back behind Garon and Gorash.
Garon steps around the rock he's next to in order to engage the closest goblin. He swings at that one, mindful of the others approaching him and those coming around to the middle of the group. With a powerful swing, Garon decapitates the goblin's head.
Turo curses in gnomish as he realizes that he is going to have to hold the left flank, but is determined to hold fast. The gnome walks forward, ducking beneath the nearby horse and stands on the edge of the magically web. He clanks his morningstar against his shield. "Feel the wrath of the gnomes, uglies!" calls Turo, even as he silently summons divine aid to fuel his body for the coming fight.

Even as Turo prepares to meet the coming wave of goblins, a powerful eagle's cry breaks over the battlefield. A large winged creature, seeming a combination of horse and eagle, appears in mid-air. A blur of white, silver and gold as it flashes toward the goblin archers on the cliffs, it dives on them with deadly talons extended, the celestial creature sinks his talons deep into the goblins body, the raise him in the air and release him above the cliff's edge, the poor goblin falls to his doom.
The warriors continue to attack Maor, others are advancing forward, several attack Garon, others engage Gorash, and another poor soul slain by Keldar's long spiked chain.
One of the horse, the one Maor was responsible for him previous to the attack flees in panic from the battlefield.

Keldar moves to AA26 and waits for the goblins to enter the area he threatens. "Come and get me, you little bastards, if you dare" he shouts.
