Tests and Trials (Manzanita Judging)

[Enkhidu]

Malen, Dwarf Wiz1

Malen moves forward on stumpy legs to the edge of the clearing.

OOC: Malen makes a double move to the edge of the clearing, keeping Garrit between the goblins and himself.

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Dungannon: Yup.

I'll give him a little while. It hasn't been "his turn" for too long.

 

[Tassadar]

[sblock]Sorry about going AWOL guys. I got a virus on my computer and my network went down all at the same time, so I've been spending the last couple of days bringing it back up to speed.[/sblock]

Jasper reaches into his pouch and pulls out a small piece of cured leather. While seemingly concentrating on the small piece of leather, Jasper begins chanting his next spell. With a wave of his hand, a bright glow surrounds Jasper for a moment and then fades down, and Jasper looks quite pleased with himself. Jasper then moves 20 feet closer to the opening and the area where the goblins are.

[sblock]Jasper just casted Mage Armor. +4 to AC[/sblock]

NPCing for Cryndo, Human Cleric of Hyrag

The cleric, hearing the howls of the creatures, follows Garrit and Malen into the clearing. His lighter load and longer legs carry him further than his other two companions, but not far enough to engage the creatures. Catching a glimpse of their prey, Cryndo screams out and taunts the goblins, stopping them in their tracks and turning a few heads his direction.

OOC: Still no Cryndo?
Devlin's turn.

 

[Dungannon]

Devlin Magruder, human rogue 3

Upon hearing his companions, mainly Cryndo, begin to engage the goblinoids, Devlin takes action. He stops fleeing and ducks behind a tree. Pausing for just a second to catch his breath, he peers around the tree far enough to take a shot at the closest enemy with his crossbow.

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Devlin's well-aimed bolt thuds into the back of the closest goblin, though it rustles a few leaves on its journey. Suddenly caught in a pincer attack, the goblins collapse into confusion. The one Devlin hit falls to the ground and shrieks. Two of the others begin to scramble up a tree, but one falls head first and seems dazed. The remaining two, still hot with rabid rage, race towards Cryndo with their blood-stained daggers raised for battle. They move into a position to flank the cleric. Cryndo manages to fend one of the black goblins off, but the other one slashes and connects. A line of red appears along Cryndo's arm.

OOC: Devlin did 3 damage to goblin 1. Cryndo was dealt 1 damage (8/9).
Malen's turn.

 

[Enkhidu]

Malen squints as he raises his crossbow, firing at one of the goblins flanking Cryndo, and immediately refitting a bolt to the groove.

[sblock]Fire at goblin #4: Total attack bonus should be +0 +1(Dex) +1 (vs. goblinoid bonus) -4 (firing into melee).[/sblock]

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

The goblin at the other end of Malen's shot suddenly went completely limp. Its throat completely torn out, it collapsed to the ground, blood spurting from it's neck.

OOC: Critical hit, 16 damage.
Garrit's turn.

 

[Tassadar]

Jasper moves over closer to the Goblin, not wanting to just rush into battle. With his quarterstaff drawn, Jasper stands in a defensive position, waiting for the goblin to move again.

[sblock]Move over to J14 and take a defensive action.[/sblock]

 

[Animus]

Garrit Kelspire, Paladin 1 of Hyrag

[sblock]Garrit will take a five foot step east and attack the goblin he is next to with his longsword (+3, 1d8+2).[/sblock]

Garrit steps over to the closest goblin, yelling, "For the Sun God!" and swings his sword mightily.
