Enthalus cries out "Unseelie spawn of shadow! You shall not prevail against the light!" and fires an arrow at one of the javelin launchers he has a clear shot at.

[+4 short bow, d6+1 x3, AC 16, hp 6 Enthalus will then use his move action to maneuver to keep in missile range and line up for next round].
Initiative: Dolan 22, Enthalus 17, Kyalia 15, Saxon 13, Laurel 10, Mzarem 7, 3 Shadow Goblins 6

Enthalus rolls a 10 total on his strike and misses with his arrow strike!


Enthalus takes careful aim, and lets an arrow fly, boosted by the magic of his song and voice. But the shadow goblin is craftier then it appears and ducks at the last moment, preparing to throw a second javelin!

Meanwhile Kyalia tries to cut down her attack but the shadow goblin parries with its Morningstar, giving her a voiceless smile. Saxon moves to Dolan’s side and tries to draw a spell into life, but fails o maintain his concentration and loses the spell altogether!

Kyalia rolls a 10 total and misses with her strike, meanwhile Saxon tries to cast on the Defensive and rolls a 13 Concentration check, he fails the roll loses the spell in the process!

Laurel draws another arrow and launches an arrow at one of the javelin tossing shadow goblins, her aim is true and she puts an arrow through its leg, returning the favor! The creature hisses softly, clenching its eyes close!

Laurel rolls a 17 and does 3 points of damage!

Mzarem, while the goblin takes an errant swing and misses, moves from helping Kyalia to engage the creature that tossed a javelin at Laurel, hoping to bring it low! The mighty wolf companion tackles the shadow goblin down and chews into the creature’s gullet… the wretched humanoid struggles for a moment before it fades away into mist. Mzarem turns menacingly to the other goblin with a growl!

Mzarem rolls a 16 and does 5 points of damage, another shadow goblin down! The goblin rolled a 3 on its Attack of Opportunity.

The goblin menacing Kyalia tries to bring her low with another wild swing from its mornigstar! But the elf priest deflects the attack with her blade, as the vicious melee continues all around her! Meanwhile the goblin turns from Dolan and swings its vicious bloody Morningstar at Saxon, but the druid takes a step back at the right moment and avoids the nasty blow!

The shadow goblin rolls an 8 and misses. The second shadow goblin rolls a 12 and misses!

The goblin tries to prepare another javelin but drops it and draws its Morningstar and swings at the wolf menacing it! The blunt weapon crashes into Mzarem with a yelp, nearly batting the wolf aside!

The shadow goblin rolls an 18 and does 4 points of damage! End of Round 2, star Round 3!
 

Kyalia

Missing the goblin only lets Kyalia's attacks get more fierce and determined. Seeing that Saxon has made it to Dolan's side and that the elf is not in immediate danger for now, once again, she strikes at the shadow creature, to finally destroy it.


Attack Longsword +4 (1d8+4/19-20)
 

"Sorry Dolan," he says.

Now unable to help Dolan, Saxon takes a couple of steps to position the shadow goblin between himself and Dolan before attacking it.

[+3 melee (+2 from flanking, +1 bardic music), d6+1 damage (+1 bardic music)], 18-20

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Mzarem turns on his attacker and bites at his legs, trying to get a good grip so as to bring the creature down.

[+3 melee, d6+3 damage, automatic trip attempt]

Would a bard's music help an animal companion? I haven't included the +1 from it because I'm uncertain.

Let there be light

Seeing the goblins dissipate into shadow and darkness Enthalus takes a chance and sings out in a strong pure voice, calling on the force of magic to burst forth in shining glory. Glowing with a bright light that banishes shadows he then steps forward to envelop as many shadow goblins in the magical illumination as he can.


[ooc standard action light spell on Enthalus' armor, move action to get as many goblins into its radius without drawing AoOs. Hope this either banishes them or imposes penalties upon them, or enrages them enough that they all charge me drawing fatal AoOs from those they are currently meleeing with]

Light
Evocation [Light]
Level: Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Object touched
Duration: 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell causes an object to glow like a torch, shedding bright light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 20 feet) from the point you touch. The effect is immobile, but it can be cast on a movable object. Light taken into an area of magical darkness does not function.
A light spell (one with the light descriptor) counters and dispels a darkness spell (one with the darkness descriptor) of an equal or lower level.
Arcane Material Component: A firefly or a piece of phosphorescent moss.
 

Dolan has the dagger out and feeling confident with Saxon at his side, attacks the shawdow.

OOC: +3 melee (+2 from flanking, +1 bardic music), 1d4 +1 bardic music
 

Still favoring her wounded leg, Laurel fires an arrow at one of the Javelin hurlers within 30' that is not in melee within one of her companions.

(Attack Longbow +5 + 1 within 30' +1 morale = +7 to hit, Damage: 1-8 +2)
 

Dolan flanks the creature and slips his dagger into the shadow goblin with a quick practiced thrust, piercing deep into the humanoids innards. The blade slips out with black blood coating the blade as the shadow goblin collapses into shadow. Dolan stumbles and collapses to the ground as well, his vicious attack putting his own life in jeopardy!

Dolan rolls a 19 total gets a flank attack with sneak attack damage and does a total of 9 damage! Now Dolan is at -1 for taking an attack action and is dying!

Enthalus casts Light upon his armor and strides forward, the arcane light stings the flesh of one of the shadow goblins and it bursts into a puff of shadowy smoke, leaving Kyalia without an opponent to face!

The other wretched humanoid braves the light, shielding its eyes with its arm, it seems that this one is made of braver, and much more resolute will then the other shadow creature!

Nice move, I will allow it success because it is cinematically cool, one of the goblins failed a Will save and poof it went, leaving only one creature!

Kyalia wastes no time and rushes forward, and puts her blade through the final shadow goblin, it fades away without a scream; leaving only black blood on her blade… the vicious melee has come to an end… not even the thrown javelins remains.

The rain continue as the water continues to rise with the coming tide!

Kyalia rolls a 16 and does 6 points of damage, the final goblin is dead! Out of combat.
 

Kyalia

Kyalia immediately hurries to Dolan's unconscious body and after reciting a prayer to Ehlonna her hand glows in a warm light, which flows into his wounds and closes them.

Afterwards, she cleans and sheathes her sword and turns to her new companions.

“As it seems, we are in the middle of some kind of struggle between light and shadow and it is upon us to decide this for the forces of light. Hurry now, we need to cross the causeway, before it is completely submerged in water.”
