Re: Adventure #1 -- The Road to Ruin

[Malazek]

- OOC: That's everyone but Drakor? I'll go ahead and roll for him, so we can move on. I rolled a 9 and he has a +1 bonus, so that's a 10.

- OOC: Again, everyone who rolled higher than a 5 (Jasmine, Drakor, Thane, Felix) goes before the goblins; then the goblins go; and, then everyone who rolled less than a 5 (Merrill, Taryk, Iris) can go. Those of you in the first group, go ahead and post your actions.

Felix increases the tempo of his song - holding back a smile (after witnessing the demise of one of his captors). Merrill feels inspired.
-OOC: Initiative Roll, Felix gives Merrill an AP to use for her next action with a +2 bonus.*

- OOC: This will have to be one of Felix's actions in round #1, but he still has another action coming.

---

you come to another chamber: this one much larger than the previous chambers. The split-timber floor is six or seven yards wide and the stalactite-covered ceiling is at least that high. In the center of the room, a shallow pit holds a massive pyre, littered with corpses and billowing dark black smoke. The smoke seems to be escaping through a hole of some sort in the center of ceiling.

Around the perimeter of the room lies a ragtag collection of old furs, tattered bedrolls, bays of hail, and other "cheap" bedding. Narrow passages lead away from this chamber and toward each of the cardinal directions.

Six or seven of the "beds" are occupied by resting goblins. 

- OOC: For purposes of movement and blocked line-of-sight, I am relying on the previously mentioned marching order ...

- Taryk is at the doorway and 2 yards from the closest goblins (6 yards from the furthest goblins).
- Jasmine is behind him and  3 yards from the closest goblins (7 yards from the furthest goblins).
- Drakor cannot see the closest goblins yet, but is only 4 yards from them. He is 8 yards from the furthest goblins.
- Thane cannot see the closest goblins, yet. He is 9 yards from the furthest goblins.
- Felix cannot see the closest goblins, yet. He is 10 yards from the furthest goblins.
- Iris cannot see the closest goblins, yet. She is 11 yards from the furthest goblins.
- Merrill cannot see the closest goblins, yet. She is 12 yards from the furthest goblins.

- OOC: In total, there were 7 goblins, but Merrill has already killed one.

[Alpha Omega]

Thane will move until he can see goblins in the room. As soon as he sees a goblin he will use his earth magic to bind one of the goblins.

"com'n through!"

'd10' : 3

[151prooftattoos]

Felix grins and presses his back against the wall, the tone of his song deepens. *Taryk feels inspired.

-OOC: *Felix gives Taryk an AP to spend on his next action for a +2 bonus. ~8/10 AP~

[zappo168]

Jasmine steps up from behind the first group of goblins, grasping her sword. She tries not to think about the act of slaughtering helpless creatures, knowing that she is doing right by the goddess in removing this plague.

OOC - Move forward, attack with sword.

[Malazek]

Beginning of Round 1 ...

Felix increases the tempo of his song - holding back a smile (after witnessing the demise of one of his captors). Felix grins and presses his back against the wall, the tone of his song deepens. Merrill feels inspired. Taryk feels inspired.
-OOC: Felix gives Merrill an AP to use for her next action with a +2 bonus.
-OOC: Felix gives Taryk an AP to spend on his next action for a +2 bonus.

Thane will move until he can see goblins in the room. As soon as he sees a goblin he will use his earth magic to bind one of the goblins. "com'n through!"
- Spellcraft: 3 (+2+1=6)

Jasmine steps up from behind the first group of goblins, grasping her sword. She tries not to think about the act of slaughtering helpless creatures, knowing that she is doing right by the goddess in removing this plague.
- OOC - Move forward, attack with sword: 10 (Crit): 6 damage

As Felix's song moves his comrades to greater acts of heroism, Jasmine rushes into the room and slashes the a sickly goblin with her sword. The goblin looks down at his blood-stained jerkin, before raising his bleary eyes to meet those of his attacker. Meanwhile, Thane's magic encapsulates one of the other goblins in a prison of stone.

---

- OOC: Since Drakor hasn't posted in several days, I'll just post actions for him. He'll use one action to move into melee range and another to cast blotting darkness in a 3 yard diameter area. That will set him for better attacks and defenses (including his riposte ability). 

As Jasmine and Thane assail the goblins to the left, Drakor will rush toward the goblin to the right. The darkness surrounding him deepens and grows to engulf not only Drakor, but the two goblins before him.

---

The Goblins' turn ...

All of the goblins scramble to find their weapons and stumble to their feet. Those at the far end of the room lurch forward, closing the gap between themselves and the party. Those to the right are dumbfounded, as they try to make sense of the sudden darkness. To the left, one of the goblins weakly lifts his rusty sword, anticipating another attack from the mighty Jasmine, while the other tries to break free of his stony prison.

- OOC: I need another Spellcraft roll from Thane (TN 5). If you roll a 4 or less, the goblin escapes.

---

- OOC: Merrill, Taryk, and Iris are up. Remember that Felix granted both Merrill and Taryk an extra AP that comes with an additional +2 bonus to any associated rolls.
- OOC: Since the furthest goblins charged forward, they are now only 3 yards from Taryk and 8-9 yards from Iris and Merrill. Those are the only goblins that are visible to Iris and Merrill, but Taryk can also see the goblins to left and the blob of darkness to the right.

[Somnium]

Merrill will shoot at one going for a weapon, her eyes focused on the threat.

OOC: marksmanship +2, first roll is 7+4, second roll is 7+2. Five damage for each hit.

[FutbolDude21586]

OOC: Ready a healing for the first party member to get hurt.

Watching yet another one-sided bloodbath, Iris says a quick prayer to Wodana before starting a chant to provide healing.

- OOC: If I don't respond in a reasonable amount of time ... Please feel free to post for me to keep things moving

Merrill's arrows sink deeply into the chest of an ill and unarmored goblin, killing it instantly. Meanwhile, Taryk focuses his magic and releases two powerful bolts of lighting; one directed at the goblin charging toward him, and the other at the goblin to his left (the one that was held by Thane's rock magic). Both of his victim's scream in burning agony.

- OOC: Using the AP that Felix gave him to fuel this attack.
- Attack rolls = 7+4 = 11, 3+4 = 7. Both suffer 5 points of damage.

---

- OOC: I need another Spellcraft roll from Thane (TN 5). If you roll a 4 or less, the goblin escapes.

- OOC: Back to the top of the round. Jasmine, Drakor, Thane, and Felix are up again. The goblins to the left are both wounded (and depending on Thane's roll, one of them may or may not be trapped in stone). The two on the right are unhurt, but are surrounded by blotting darkness (meaning that Drakor is the only one who can see them). Of the three that started at the far end of the room, one is dead and one is charging forward (he is now only 3 yards from Taryk).

When Thane see's the goblin escape from his hold, he will draw his javelin and run the goblin through.

OOC: Nevermine that, I did poor math; working on no sleep here. The goblin doesn't break free, but I'll still use the action to throw the javelin at a different goblin.

The imprisoned goblin remains imprisoned ... for now.

Start of Round 2 ...

Thane ... will draw his javelin ... to throw the javelin at a different goblin.
- d10' : 1 (Natural 1)

Jasmine reels back for another attack against the injured goblin before her. She swings her sword, hoping to end this creature.
- 'd10' : 3 (Melee +2) = 5

Felix ... quickly loads a blow-dart and fires at the first live goblin he sees.
- 'd10' : 5 (+0) = 5

Thane's massive stone weapon sails past its target, striking the distant wall with a sudden thud. Jasmine's powerful blow fails to draw blood, as the sickly goblin lifts his rusty blade to intercept her attack. Felix's dart strikes its target, but gets harmlessly caught up in the goblin's baggy tunic. Perhaps the tides of battle are beginning to turn against our heroes?

---

- OOC: I'll have to post for Drakor again ...

Obscured by impenetrable darkness, Drakor jabs one of his daggers into the belly of his foe and uses his other dagger to slash its throat. The goblin is all but helpless to defend, as his precious life blood leaks upon the floor. Yet, the battle-hardened goblin refuses to fall.
- Action to maintain Blotting Darkness.
- Action to Dual Attack: 'd10' : 3 & 6 (+2 melee +2 for being unseen) = 7 & 10. Damages = 3 and 2

---

Goblins ...

The imprisoned goblin tries desperately to escape.
- OOC: I need another spellcraft roll from Thane (TN 5) in order to maintain the prison. No action required.

The goblin with the rusty sword takes a swing at Jasmine.
- OOC: I need a defense roll from Jasmine (TN 7). He deals 4 damage if you fail (8 if you roll a natural 1). Don't forget to subtract your armor from the damage.

The charging goblin finally reaches Taryk, thrusting his primitive spear at the storm mage.
- OOC: I need a defense roll from Taryk (TN 7). He deals 2 damage if you fail (4 if you roll a natural 1). Don't forget to subtract your armor from the damage.

The two goblins on the right desperately swing their axes at Drakor.
- OOC: I need two defense rolls from Drakor (TN 7). They each deal 4 damage if you fail (8 on natural 1). Don't forget to subtract your armor from the damage.
- OOC: If you succeed, your Riposte ability allows you to spend an AP in order to counter-attack.
- OOC: Because they cannot see you, you have an add'l +2 to attack (+4 total) and defense (+6 total).

Another goblin emerges from the tunnel on the left! Adorned in feathers and bone, this one is dressed differently than the others. Quickly, he surveys the room and lifts his ornate staff, yelling "Fenjen blung goad!"

OOC: Iris still has an action "readied" to heal the first person who suffers damage.

---

OOC: After I get all these rolls, we'll be back to Merrill, Iris, and Taryk.

[zappo168]

The sickly goblin before Jasmine slashes at her with his rusty weapon, snarling in what Jasmine assumes is meant to be a menacing tone. “I don’t think so,” Jasmine replies in her own growl, raising her shield to block. Unfortunately, the goblin catches the edge of the shield with his blade, knocking her defensive stance open and slicing off a scuff of flesh from her left hand in the process. Jasmine utters a prayer of thanks to the gods that her wounds are not worse…not yet, anyway.

OOC: +2 defense for shield; total of 5. DR 3 for scale mail. Net loss of 1 HP.
