Courtyard Hobgoblin Battle

Tylara fires another arrow, as does Kerlan, but both are to caught up in the excitement of the battle, and their archery skills fail them this time. Manny continues his movement toward the wood pile. Xavier now fires his crossbow at the first hobgoblin to emerge into the courtyard from the east. Xavier hits his mark with a 15 1d20+4=15, 1d8=7 and does 7 points of damage, which fells the first foe of the battle.

OOC: Why do I even need players at all? I can run npcs and monsters all by myself and have a grand old time! hehehe. I'm reminded of the term "playing with yourself," and this does seem a bit like FRP masturbation.

Several more hobgoblins boil out of the door at the south end of the courtyard and begin to hustle up to respond to this new threat. Nothing more is heard or seen for the moment from the Big Bruiser Hobgoblin Chief and his Orcish buddy. :) (I use the term "orcish" loosely. He was dressed and equipped in the manner of an orc when you saw him up closer earlier, but his blondish hair bespeaks of some definite human lineage as well.)

Tylara

Concerned at the number of hobgoblin's approaching, Tylara begins another spell. "We're going to need some help on this one."

OOC: Summon Monster II--Celestial giant bombardier beetle
 


Manny

OOC: Sorry - barely had time to check in and see where we are the past couple of days.

IC: Manny closes the rest of the distance to the woodpile (½ move) and exchanges his rapier for his hand crossbow.

[sblock=Leif]Not sure about the rules for changing weapons and don't have time to look them up right now 'cause I'm squeezing this check in between a couple of other activities. If he has time in his turn he'll fire a bolt at the hobgoblin in X27, missing horribly. If he doesn't have time he'll save that miss for his next attack, I suppose. :([/sblock]
 

I don't feel like looking it up right now, so THIS time (only, maybe) you can get away with your miss. I say again: this time. ;)
