[KerlanRayne]

Kerlan centers his Web spell at the corner shared by squares Z-6 and AA-7. That will get all of them.

Pre-emptive Web, Post Updated and Accurate! 10/16

OOC: Well, initiative would have been good, but this time, we'll just say that Kerlan's spell has amazed them so much that you have the drop on them. Good shot, Kerlan, I never expected that one. (Next time, however, roll initiative, please.)

Kerlan's Web spell covers the hobgoblin dice-rollers and the diner. Two of them, however, made their saves: Y5, Z5. Y5 was picking up the spoon that he dropped, and so was under the table when the spell went off. Z5 reached down to help him get his spoon, and also wound up under the table when the spell went off. (OOC: Thanks for the assist, Kerlan.) (These two hobgoblins are the same two who are now in W7 and X6 on the next map posted a very little bit further on.)

Hobgoblin saving throws vs. Kerlan's Web: 1d20=9, 1d20=4, 1d20=17, 1d20=19, 1d20=12, 1d20=15

OOC: Go ahead and act, everyone else. Kudos to Kerlan!! (bonus xp 150) (If I could give more xp on ENWorld, you'd get one, but, alas, I can't at the moment.)

OOC: Don't sweat it, Kerlan (the Player). I should have called for initiative if I wanted it. Honestly, I didn't even think of it until Mowgli posted Manny's init roll. I've updated the post below to take the higher DC into account. I still think it was a darned good job that Kerlan (the Character ) did!

Map now attached! Note that the hobgoblins in W7 and X6 are not entangled (these are the two who were formerly in Y5 and Z5 who were blown under the table by the spell, or something like that) -- they are under the table, and they have a reasonably clear route to their west to leave the AoE of the spell.

Next Wizard to act (whomever has the next highest initiative or the next alphbetically, or something), You're up!

 

[KerlanRayne]

I don't know if it's a surprise round or not but this is what Kerlan will do next. He will move into the room to T-9 while drawing his crossbow. If it's not a surprise round then he will move and draw after the spell is completed. If it is a surprise round then he will move and shoot the nearest Hobgoblin next round.

Tylara

Her bow held ready, Tylara sends and arrow (1d20+6=22) into the lead Hobgoblin (W7). As the shot strikes (1d8+3=9) it's mark, she pulls another arrow.

OOC: Initiative (1d20+2=14)

 

[Leif]

OOC: Kerlan's spell was what has effectively become the surprise round. No one else has acted yet that I've seen. So after everyone else does ... whatever.... then Kerlan will act again. I'll call for actions then. If you can post then, do so, if not, I'll assume that Kerlan acts as you have stated.

 

[Leif]

Tylara hits and kills the hobgoblin in W7. And then, there was one (X6).....

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Manny

Manny's crossbow shot at the remaining Hobgoblin goes astray, bouncing and ricocheting around the room until . . . it comes to rest at the feet of the wee wizard.

[sblock=Leif]Don't know if you do anything 'special' for critical failures, but I rolled a '1' to hit.[/sblock]

 

[Leif]

[sblock=Mowgli, crit. failure]Nope, nothing special, other than a miss. I figure that's enough. [/sblock]
