chapter 4- back to the wilderness

[OGRE MAGE]

Travix pulls out a sharp dart and drives it into the temple of the sleeping goblin, killing him instantly and quietly.

He then moves to the area where he heard the other voices, hoping to find another.

[hedgeknight]

Graela Windborn

Slightly embarrassed at her useless attempt at an attack, Graela rights herself and tries to jab the head of her spear into the goblin's spleen...
Spear attack: [1d20+1] = 9+1 = 10, [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5

[coil23]

Travix dispatches the sleeping goblin and then moves on to the commotion ahead and to the right. He can't quite see anything useful yet but he can tell where to go.

Graela adjusts her stance and again thrusts with her spear. Frustratingly, she misses again though tries to position herself to be in a better spot to work with Hennoth. The goblin's eyes widen when it realizes there is more than just a boy to be dealt with here. A quick glance behind shows no options and the goblin seems resigned to playing defense against the human and dwarf. Hennoth shifts to allow Graela into the fray and swings again with his mace.

Hennoth mace attack- to hit [1d20+1] = 13+1 = 14 damage [1d6+1] = 1+1 = 2

The boy's mace connects with the creature's side and you hear a crunch. The goblin lurches away from the boy and circles, bent somewhat to guard its hurt torso, looking for an open shot on Hennoth or Graela.

[1d2] = 2[1d20] = 19, [1d6] = 6
The goblin takes advantage of the two of you trying to keep out of each others' space and jumps in to the side of Graela's spear and pierces her belly with its sword. The blade sinks deeply enough that the goblin barely has time to disengage and dance back out of reach after its strike.

Graela takes 6 damage

[Pulpatoon]

Salt Peter hops back and forth behind Hennoth and Graela, trying to get a clear shot, but his axe never connects:
Hand Axe [1d20+1] = 5+1 = 6 Damage: [1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3

[OGRE MAGE]

Travix continues on towards the commotion, checking all around the ground as he moves so as not to step on any sleepers.

[Mant72]

Tip:

The alert halfing follows in the wake of the mage, careful to cover their rear as they press on toward the disturbance.

[coil23]

Travix and Tip travel through the greenery toward the commotion. On your way, you come across another sleeping goblin. This one has crude, tattered armor of animal furs and a short, stabbing spear.

The goblin facing Hennoth, Graela, and Salt Peter is now near panic. Facing three determined opponents and nothing can be heard of the goblin companions that were just nearby a second ago. Frequent glances aside and behind, the goblin looks as if it will bolt at any second.

[Mant72]

Tip:

"Let's keep this wretched fellow alive so that we can question it," Tip whispers to his tall companion.

[OGRE MAGE]

Travix nods at Tip as he tosses him some cord for binding and gaging.

He continues looking around on the ground for more sleepers as he makes his way towards the others.

[hedgeknight]

Graela Windborn

"Arrggghh!" Graela cries out, pain lancing through her gut. She clutches her bleeding belly and jabs at the goblin, but her attack is more to keep it away from her than to actually hit it...

Spear attack: [1d20+1] = 1+1 = 2, [1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7

[Mant72]

Tip:

Tip trusses up the goblin with the cord Travix offers.

Coil, are we close enough to hear Graela call out? If we are, Tip rushes to her aid.

[coil23]

Travix comes across another sleeping goblin when he and Tip hear Graela cry out somewhere ahead. Tip rushes ahead through the brush toward the sound. Breaking out of the greenery into a small clearing Tip sees Graela somewhat hunched over holding her stomach with one hand while her spear still determinedly threatens a lone, fearful goblin. Salt Peter weaves back and forth, looking for an opening between Graela and Hennoth so that he may strike. Hennoth is fighting the distraction of his concern over Graela's wound and he also maneuvers to be able to flank the goblin.

The goblin, seeing yet another enemy emerge into the clearing, reaches its breaking point and makes a break for the underbrush immediately behind.

Graela, Salt Peter, and Hennoth are close enough to make an attack as the goblin turns to flee into the brush.

[hedgeknight]

Graela Windborn

Graela jabs the fleeing goblin in the arse. "I hope ya bleed out, ya bugger!"

Spear attack: [1d20+1] = 19+1 = 20, [1d6+1] = 1+1 = 2

[Pulpatoon]

Salt Peter tries to reach from behind Hennoth's legs, but completely fails to reach his target:
Hand Axe [1d20+1] = 1+1 = 2 Damage: [1d6+1] = 1+1 = 2

[coil23]

Graela's spear tip punctures the back of the panicked goblin for a moment and its body twists with the pain. It seems barely able to stay upright but staggers through the brush out of sight. Unsteady progress through the vegetation is marked by crunching and breaking branches ahead.

Tip's lunge with his ax not only misses the target but manages to shove Hennoth off balance and go sprawling. The halfing barely keeps his balance so is still able to keep his feet. The boy looks up from the ground, bewildered.

[Pulpatoon]

Salt Peter leaps up from the tangle of Hennoth's limbs and dashes after the bleeding goblin. "I got ther scent o' 'im!"

Hand Axe [1d20+1] = 10+1 = 11 Damage: [1d6+1] = 5+1 = 6

[coil23]

Salt Peter just barely misses the back of the fleeing goblin with an ax swing. He can see the creature for brief moments and then it is lost again in the green as it makes a chaotic course blindly through the trees and brush. But the sounds of its passage keep the halfing close on its trail.

[OGRE MAGE]

Not at all interested in the chase at the moment, Travix continues searching the entire area, dispatching sleeping goblins along the way.

[Pulpatoon]

Salt Peter keeps chasing, sweeping ahead of him with the axe, doing damage exclusively to the shrubbery.

Hand Axe [1d20+1] = 9+1 = 10 Damage: [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4

[Mant72]

Tip:

Tip hopes Salty can dispatch the fleeing goblin and thinks about joining in the pursuit; however, he thinks it best that he returns to the bound goblin and waits for the vile thing to recover consciousness.
