Chapter 13: A Fate of Unlife?!

[Synthalus]

JARETH SANDS

Jareth shouts from way in the back of the party;

" YOU NEED SOME HELP UP THERE MORT? I CAN STILL SEE YOU, ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE IN SHADOWS AND MOVE SILENTLY?"

[Synthalus]

BORUM

Borum punches Jareth in the side to shut him up and says;

" Shhhh! are yea try'n to give us away you mad fool? I vouched for you now stop this idiotic harassment of me friend mort! He's trying his best. I'd like to see you do better?

JARETH SANDS

" Ouch! very well I will! Challenge excepted Borum!"

Jareth leaves his position in the back of the party and moves to the front. He also attempts to HS and MS inside for a peek.


HS= [1d100] = 16 = Success
MS= [1d100] = 27 = Failure

BORUM

Borum stands there speechless at his friend audacity. Watching Jareth sneak to the front of the group and then disappear into the shadows of the cave.

[GreyWolfVT]

Kormak "Jareth we can hear you you walk loudly and carry no stick."

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Ok, now Mort's attempt to sneak into the cave opening was not a quiet or stealthy affair resulting in 2 bolt shots at him:

Bolt #1: [1d20] = 8 : This is a Miss!
Bolt #2: [1d20] = 6 : This is a Miss!

Jareth then attempts the same thing, though he was stealthy 2 bolts come at him, following the sounds he had made:

Bolt #1: [1d20] = 8 : This is a Miss!
Bolt #2: [1d20] = 11 : This is a Miss!

They had both jumped back out of the way of the opening.

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort "Well so much for that." he says looking back to the others and over at Jareth.

[MonkeyWrench]

Maya curses, "Would you two stop fooling around? Kormak, you've got Infravision right? I'll cover you, we need to see how many enemies we're dealing with." She then moves to the corner of the opening and uses her shield as an extension of the wall to cover Kormak.

She has her throwing axe out and readied.

[GreyWolfVT]

Kormak "Is a dwarf bearded. Of course I have infravision. Fine then lets go." taking out his bow arrow ready in the string. Kormak walks up and tries to get a general idea of what is within.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

As Kormak takes a peek in, he did noticed at least 2 Gobin-sized figures, off to the right in the passage (west), firing off a bolt, which hit's the side of the cave near Kormak's head:

[1d20] = 4

[GreyWolfVT]

Kormak fires two arrows back in the direction the projectile came from.
Short Bow [1d20 +1] = 16+1 = 17 to hit [1d6 +2] = 6+2 = 8 dmg
Short Bow [1d20 +1] = 18+1 = 19 to hit [1d6 +2] = 5+2 = 7 dmg

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master

Both of Kormak's Arrows Hit their targets, dropping 2 Goblins (AC 6 : HP 4 Each) !

[GreyWolfVT]

Kormak takes another quick look in from the opposite side of the cave entrance this time.

[Nordbo]

Luna

calls out: "I say, fellows, what's happening inside ?

Lutha, also impatient: "Indeed what! Still waters seldom bite."

[Pulpatoon]

Lunacalls out: "I say, fellows, what's happening inside ?

Lutha, also impatient: "Indeed what! Still waters seldom bite."

Now that they've been reunited, you know who Lutha and Luna remind me of?

[Nordbo]

ROFIATCL (Rolling On Floor In Any Tintin Comic, Laughing)

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

I am assuming Kormak went back to the trees, to go around the entrance, to get to the other side:

Kormak looks in & spots 2 more Goblins on the left (east) side of the passage, they see the top of his head & fire:

Bolt #1: [1d20] = 20 : This is a Hit for [1d4] = 3*2 = 6 Hit Points of Damage on Kormak! [4 / 10 HP]

Bolt #2: [1d20] = 13 : This was a Miss!

[GreyWolfVT]

Kormak returns fire at the goblins

Short Bow [1d20 +1] = 4+1 = 5 to hit [1d6 +2] = 2+2 = 4 dmg
Short Bow [1d20 +1] = 19+1 = 20 to hit [1d6 +2] = 3+2 = 5 dmg

Mort lights a torch and tosses it in on the site that Kormak just fired at then dives to get out of the way.

[Nordbo]

If Luna and Lutha have an opportunity/angle from where they stand, each of them will take a pot shot as well:

Luna: Dart, to hit: [1d20] = 2, damage vs S/M/L opp: [1d3] = 3

Lutha: Sling to hit: [1d20+1] = 14+1 = 15, damage with bullet vs S/M opp: [1d4+2] = 2+2 = 4 / damage with bullet vs L opp: [1d6+2] = 6+2 = 8

Wolfram meanwhile is carefully eyeing any chance to jump in.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

I will get a map up.

It is a pain to try & align it to a grid, but I will still use it.

I was trying to get it so 1 square = 5 feet.

[Synthalus]

Borum

Borum rushes to Kormak's aid, casting Cure light wounds.

CLW [1d8] = 4

" There you go Big fella! almost as good as new. Try not to get yourself killed.

Jareth Sands

Jareth quickly vacates the cave trying to avoid being pin cushioned by goblin bolts. As soon as he is clear of the cave he cats Phantom Armor on himself and draws his short sword from its sheathe.

Magical energies ebb and flow over Jareth's body and a suit of ornate illusionary plate mail armor now covers his body. Jareth's AC with Dex bonus is now 0 until hit 1 or more points of damage.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

I am working on the map right at this moment, back to a 1 square = 10 feet ratio, & managed to align the grid.

I am placing down the character avatar tokens & monster ones right now & will post it up when down.

Looks like I have Kormak, Borum, & Jareth on the west side (Left) of the cave mouth, the rest on the east side (Right).

Kormak & Lutha scored hits, for a total of 3 Goblins down & 1 wounded.
