OMG an actual post!

[sblock=OOC]You all will easily pass the perception check. I will be rolling initiatives I will keep the already rolled ones.[/sblock]
You all awaken tonight to the sound of battle!

By the flicker of the dimming fires, you see the rest of the caravan being swarmed by goblins. Some seem to be grabbing anything they can, while others are holding off the people putting up a fight. You are surrounded!

[Mal Malenkirk]

-''Wow. You think that this is because they are pissed about the tale of the goblin and the monkey?'' Mal exclaims as he draws and joins the fray.

-''Don't let them surround us.'' he shouts. ''Get your back to that rock.''

Mal rushes past Angel and slams into the closest goblin.

Tide of iron (1d20+10=16, 1d10+6=13)

[sblock=ooc]
Do we assume that by the time our initiative comes around, we are ready to fight, or do we have to stand up etc? I assume the former, I'll edit if this doesnt work.

Mal attacks goblin G3 and, if he hits, will push him in diagonal to the SW and take his place. Otherwise he'll end up in face of G3, next to the wood. Of course, I mark the target.

btw; Mal has 40 hp now, not 34.

Hp 40, bloodied 20, 10 hp/healing surge, 11 surge/day

AC 20 (18 without shield)
Fortitude: 18
Ref: 15 (13 with shield)
Will: 14

I strongly encourage everyone to gather near me. I went near Angel first because she is the only one to attack after the goblin.

[Charwoman Gene]

[sblock=ooc]A) I will correct ALL of your HPs by next round.
B) Assume you are ready to roll on your initiatives, the perception roll was so trivial, it wasn't worth trying to make this hard.[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

Aelek moves West of G3 and taunt him with his sword, giving an opening to Angel on her next action if the goblin is still standing up.

Furious Smash (1d20+7=17) for 3 damages.

 

[Atanatotatos]

Arden follows Mal's way. Then he gestures briefly while grabbing his eldritch Orb and a blast of cold explodes in the middle of a group of enemies, freezing the terrain under their feet.


[sblock=actions]minor=take out the orb. Move to S,SW,S. Standard: icy errain centered between G4 and W3. attack G1,G4,W3: 7,9,17 vs Ref, 11 cold dmg. Creatures hit fall prone. The burst 1 is difficult terrain till the end of Arden's next turn.
Immediate reaction: IF Arden is hit by an attack that targets his AC or Ref defense, he activates Shield, that confers him a +4 bonus to Ac and Ref before damage is done and till the end of Arden's next turn[/sblock]

[Charwoman Gene]

[sblock=OOC]I'm moving Mira.
There are a lot of goblins past the edge of the map.[/sblock]
You can see the goblins menacing the rest of the caravan, although many are falling or fleeing under other's blades.

[sblock=MiraRolls]Move to h10. Sly Flourish = Dex vs. AC on G10; Combat Adv (1d20 9=14, 1d6 2d6 6=17)[/sblock]
Mira moves to the right of Angel and throws a shuriken at a goblin, which glanced off the metal shoulder guard of the goblin's piecemeal armor.

Mal rushes past Angel and slams into the closest goblin.

The goblin crumples under the force of your blow and dies.

Arden follows Mal's way. Then he gestures briefly while grabbing his eldritch Orb and a blast of cold explodes in the middle of a group of enemies, freezing the terrain under their feet.

The wolf leaps forward only to be frozen solid by the blast of ice. Its body land with a thud, slihgtly chipping the smooth ice around it.

[sblock=Aelek]You action is inconclusive with earlier initiatives, I have moved you (to I11) the best I could.[/sblock]
Aelek moves forward and taunts a goblin with his sword, but the blow is too much for the goblin, who falls easily.

Two of the goblins take up rear position and take aim at the one able to freeze big swaths of the battlefield. One javelin glances off Arden's thigh, injuring him.
[sblock=stats]Arden vs. AC (1d20 6=15, 1d8 2=5, 1d20 6=25, 1d8 2=4)[/sblock]
The goblin swarm in, surrounding you. Aelek and Angel are hit by their cruel jabs. Mal, being surrounded, fends off many blows, but only one finds an opening, a slice on his upper arm.

The hobgoblin sees an opening and runs up to slash his sword savagely at Mira. His blow solidly connects, rattling her, but she recovers, ready to take her next action.

[Mal Malenkirk]

-''I know exactly what I've done to deserve that, but it's still annoying when it happens.''

Mal slashes at the goblins surrounding him and steps back toward the group.

-''I said to form up on me, for crying out loud!''

Cleave (1d20+10=20, 1d10+6=12)

[sblock=OOC]I attacked g11, 4 points of cleave damage splash to g13.

Mal uses his move action to shift one square to NE

When I killed the first goblin, my lifedrinker weapon gave me 5 temporary hh. You lose temp hp first so I'm still at 40/40.

It is my understanding that the lifedrinker weapons works like the infernal warlock power; meaning that temp hp from the same source don't stack and so I can only have 5 temp hp from my sword active at a time. Therefore if these are both minions and they both die, I still only have 5 temp additional HP, not 10.

40/40 +5

[Atanatotatos]

Arden Launches another attack in the middle of his enemies, but this time, he summons a burst of fire.

[sblock=actions] Fire burst centered on w4; attack vs g13,g12,w4,g9: 21,18,12,25; 6 fire dmg; Arden provokes attacks of opportunity for using an area power in melee. If an attack hits his AC or Reflex defense, he will use Shield as an immediate interrupt to up his AC and Reflex by 4 till the end of his next turn..
