Todd's FR adventure: On the Merchant Road. Part I

[Torillan]

Torillan's partial move

Torillan calmly nocks an arrow, and begins to chant.

OOC: - He is beginning the cast for shocking grasp in case any of them get too close. He intends to hold it until he needs it.

OOC:

OOC: Two things. One> You don't get a partial move. For the suprise round I usually have players roll either listen or spot to determine suprise. Torillian failed his listen roll (9). He was suprised. No partial action. Two> On the first round of combat, after the suprise round, If you decide to cast shocking grasp and hold it until you can either get in range or a goblin gets within range of you, you won't be able to fire that arrow. from PHB p126 "If you touch anything (emphasis mine) or anyone while holding a charge, even unintentionally, the spell discharges.". Considering the entangle spell in effect, and the fact you probably won't want to go into it, I'd highly sugest just firing the bow. Just friendly sugesstion.

I do realize that. I should have waited to post. Sorry about that.

You're right. I forgot that you couldn't do anything BUT hold the spell. (Don't have PHB in front of me, and this is my first spellcaster character.

Totally forgot about the entangle spell.

I really did jump the gun on this one. My apologies to all.

You know, I think my post reads harsher than I intended, so no big deal.

Since you didn't correct what Torillian does, I'm just going to assume he's just going to take a shot at one of the closer goblins with his bow.

I'm waiting on Kreeg's actions, but I'm going to post later today (Thursday) with what I've got here. There were two people who wanted to goto the same coordinates. and because of the Entangle spell, I've ammended some move actions, thinking that you wouldn't willingly march into the area effect of the spell (which takes up a BIG portion of the map).

Torillan's action (after suprise round)

Since you didn't correct what Torillian does, I'm just going to assume he's just going to take a shot at one of the closer goblins with his bow.

After the initial shock wears off, Torrillan raises his bow, and fires at the first goblin he sees...

OOC: - I believe that would be goblin #2, unless he/she/it moved already.

Round 1

Alerting the party to the advancing goblins, Aravalir and Saxon move to better positions. (suprise round)

Krug's crossbow bolt sails across the forest, past tree and gobllin, and lands to the fletching in the chest of the orc, who steadies himself with the large boulder. It appears its the only thing holding him up. (15+4=19 hit, 7 dam)

Derek moves and get his crossbow out.

An energy crackles in the air as saxons chants. When he finishes the forest comes alive. the trees grope and claw, the grass and moss writhe and grasp. The aformentioned orc and four gobs are entangled.

As Aravalir reconsideres his actions of moving within the now active forest, a goblin, free of the forest, looks to charge Aravalir, but is stopped by the arrow in his head, supplied by Torillian. (roll16+3=19, 8 dam) He lay there, dead.

Hral moves to greet the advancing goblins Kjata by his side waiting for the advancing goblins, though the gobs look to be traveling with caution, avoiding the menacing forest. Only one goblin comes within reach of Killian's deadly chain, the goblin dodges the blow, the chain scaping the bark of the tree next to him.

Another goblin manages to reach Aravalir, but does nothing but yell goblin obscenities.

The orc stuggles to free himself of the forest, but is held fast.

New map here

Initaitive is changed because of Killian's readied action, he gets bumped to the bottom:
Krug
Derek
Saxon (Mzarem)
Aravalir
Torillian
Hral (Kjata)
Kreeg
Killian

Actions for round 2?

 

[Krug]

As his bolt hits the Orc, Krug shouts in joy. "OH YES ME SWEETIE! YES! OH YOU LIKE THAT DON'T YOU? THE ORC BE TASTY? AND YOU WANT ANOTHER BITE DON'T YOU?"

Krug reloads his crossbow, steps to D3, and fires at the Orc again.

 

[Torillan]

Round 2 action

As soon as his first arrow flew to its target, Torillan immediately nocks another arrow. Noting the line of combatants blocking his view, he moves behind Aravalir and Saxon [to square C5, a move of 15'], and fires at another goblin [Goblin #5].

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kreeg Stonesplitter

"Let me see if i can't help ye all out some here." Kreeh moves forward a bit and raises his hands to the heavans and says, "Revered Mother, your servated prays you bestow your blessing upon me companions and meself. Please aid us that we may wipe this scourge from the land!"

Kreeg moves to 3e and casts Bless.

 

[Jalon Odessa]

'Step aside gal, and lemme at 'em!'

Kjata moves aside to H4, allowing Hral to move to G4 and attack the closest goblin with his longspear.
