The Retaking of Forgehold - 4E

[Atanatotatos]

Arden decides it's time to take out the hobgoblin, and targets him with an illusion that makes the bandit believe he's surrounded by specters, assaulting his mind and reducing his effectiveness in combat. The damage to his mind is almost crippling.

illusory ambush 25 vs Will (critical) 11 psychic dmg + 2, total dmg 13 and -2 to attacks till end Arden's next round[/sblock]

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Mal keeps slashing left and right at the surrounding goblin while moving to flank with Aelek.
[sblock=ooc]14 damage is on g4, g4 is marked, splash 4 damage of cleave on g10, Mal shifts to G9 (I should have done it before attacking!) to give combat advantage to Aelek against g4)[/sblock]

Aelek decapitates a goblin, its twitching body drops to the ground.

Mira jumps over the wolf nimbly, slashing its thorat as she goes, She rolls behind the Hobgoblin, and distracted by Aelek, it douesn't notice her slip the knife into his heart. He dies instantly, falling like a top heavy statue.

Angel's blast narriowly misses one of the remaining goblins, his eyes grow wide with fear.

[Mal Malenkirk]

-''I am not running after a goblin. It's not dignified.''

Mal sits back at the fire and resumes his meal nonchalantly.

-''Everybody okay?'' he asks between mouthfuls.

 

[Velmont]

"A few scratch, nothing serious." Aelek looks at the others. "Others seems fines too. What do you think. Some brigand who wanted the wagon content or it is more than that."

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

-''Just the wagon.'' Mal replied. ''Hell, I'm paid to guard it and even I want to rob it. Imagine starving goblins.''

 

[Charwoman Gene]

The Party has repelled the Goblin raiders!

The Caravan while taking a few casualities, is still intact, thanks to you and the efforts of some others. (Like maybe a Dwarven barbarian or something.) You discover the hobgoblin had a pouch with a hefty sum of gold in it.
[sblock=OOC REWARD]125 xp, 150 gp, 200 sp.[/sblock]

The caravan leaders thanks you graciously and begin setting up camp again to set out in the morning.

-''Say, Aelek, you saw that warrior go at it? I tried to line him up in a coherent frontline but he wasn't listening. He must have been drunk. I mean, he was foaming at the mouth and he ended up spending the last half of the fight hacking at a dead wolf. Still, when he was pointed in the right direction, he was doing the job.''

 

[Velmont]

"Yeah, that seems to be good muscle as long as it doesn't do anything stupid or alone... you think it would worth to recrute him... you know, since the paladin has left, a spot has open. I don't feel like a necessity to fill it, but might be usefull to have an axtra mucled arm."

 

[Atanatotatos]

We might indeed find ourselves in dire straits if our little group continues to lose members...
and... I suppose good taste isn'ta requirement for warriors.... comments Arden sadly....
