XIII. Goblin Halls: Third Trip

[AleBelly]

"Damn, I'm...I mean Hubbard, is good!" cries Canun, seeing the effects of his Light spell. He has no compunction about attacking a defenseless animal. He loads his sling and flings a stone at the immobilized dire wolf.

Sling attack [1d20] = 1, damage [1d4] = 2

[panglott]

Dimly moves south to just past the corner (40'), sword in hand in case the beast breaks free.

[dmw71]

Round 2
The wolf works furiously to free itself from the sticky bomb remains held fast.

The wolf yelps loudly and angrily when Keebler sends an arrow completely through its pointed ear with a near perfect strike! Horatio, Sacro, and Vernon also loose arrows in its direction but with less success.

Junius, on the opposite end of the action, watches the stone and steel door but does not open it. When asked by AdaRue, he relays that he does not hear anything on the opposite side.

Dimly readies his sword and makes his way to the bend in the passage.

Canun, full of praise for his deity's ability loads a stone into his sling and, distracted by his self-praise, releases his projectile too soon, sending it screaming in the opposite direction -- where it plunks the unsuspecting Sacro square in the face!

Amazingly, a PC goes down (and potentially dies!) gets hit without a single attack from an enemy.

onlyme, please make a save vs Death (12+) to see of Sacro is able to stabilize himself:

Death & Dying (LL: 7)
If a PC is reduced to exactly 0 hit points, they are allowed a saving throw versus Death.

• Success: The character survives, but falls unconscious.
• Failure: The character succumbs to their injuries and dies.
  (Note: In the event of a PC death, that players is welcome to create a replacement character.)

OOC: Not needed. I forgot to apply the damage the player provided, which was only half of my roll.

  Canun with Sling vs AC5 (14+): [1d20] = 15, [1d4] = 4 -- Oh, geez.

[onlyme]

Sacro fires again, unaware that his life passed before his eyes.
: longbow [1d20-1] = 16-1 = 15 ; [1d8] = 1

Junius decides to open the other door to see if they have a place to escape, hoping the silence is a good sign.

[Zhym]

Having shot an arrow through the dire wolf's ear, Keebler sends the next shot right between its eyes.

Long bow (THAC0 19): [1d20] = 20, [1d8] = 1
Second damage roll: [1d8] = 4

~~~~~

Horatio, not to be out done, sends his own arrow on-target.

Long bow (THAC0 19): [1d20+2] = 15+2 = 17 [1d8] = 5

[dmw71]

Long bow (THAC0 19): [1d20] = 20, [1d8] = 1

Feel free to make your second damage roll.

[Zhym]

Looks like I added it while you were posting.

[AleBelly]

"Damn it, Sacro! You distracted me!" scolds Canun after his errant stone strikes the elf in the face. He loads another and flings it at the wolf, unless a more able-bodied foe attacks, in which case he will target it instead.

ETA:
Sling attack [1d20] = 12, damage [1d4] = 1

[dmw71]

He loads another and flings it at the wolf...

Care to add an attack roll?

"Damn it, Sacro! You distracted me!" scolds Canun after his errant stone strikes the elf in the face.

[onlyme]

Sacro hears Canun call out to him, but the recent stone pelted against his temple has left him with major ringing in his ears and temporarily deaf.
He nods after he arrow is flung and says,
Kinda like chicken, I hear.

[AleBelly]

He loads another and flings it at the wolf...

Care to add an attack roll?

Will do in a bit - can't access the die roller from work so I have to add through my phone.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Do we still hear goblins down the hallway? If so, I think Vernon would take a blind shot down the hallway.

I'll add actions for both characters once I hear back.

[dmw71]

Do we still hear goblins down the hallway?

Not at the moment, no.

...Muffled goblin voices and movement can be heard retreating, but a set of very rapidly approaching claws is heard scraping the cobblestone floor, heading directly in the party's direction!...

But, there's always a chance (especially if this carries on much longer) that they might return. Just saying.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Not wanting to risk a stone to the head, Vernon ducks back, letting the others finish the dire wolf.

AdaRue nudges Junius and Rainey. Let's open it and see before more wolves or goblins come along. Vernon and Dimly are right there if we need them.

[dmw71]

Round 3
The wolf continues to thrash about in the gluey mess it's stuck in, but only manages to make itself get caught up even more. It is nearly fully pinned against the right wall, barely able to move.

Plunk!
An arrow from Keebler strikes it.

Plunk!
An arrow from Sacro strikes it.

Plunk!
An arrow from Horatio strikes it.


The creature whimpers as one arrow after another slices through its thick fur and sinks into its flesh.

It collapses.

It's chest can barely be seen rising and falling as it fights for each breath. The blinded wolf, barely clinging onto life, and now completely trapped in a glue-filled hallway, is, for all intents and purposes, defeated.

On the opposite end of the action, Junius moves to open the door and, even struggling with all his might, is unable to force the extremely heavy stone and steel door open.

Long bow (THAC0 19): [1d20] = 9, [1d8] = 2

~~~~~

"Lemme through," demands Horatio as he shoves his way back to the door. Once there, he inspects it to figure out if there's some kind of mechanisms keeping it from opening any further.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Doesn't Rothal have a spear? If so, could a PC use it to stab the wolf without getting stuck?
No use in wasting arrows.

AdaRue and Vernon help Junius try to maneuver the door.

[onlyme]

If Sacro can reach with his sword without getting stuck, he will finish the wolf off.

Junius solicits the help to work the door.

[dmw71]

I'm updating from my phone, so this will be brief:

• The group can easily dispatch of the wolf without resorting to further ranged attacks (so save your arrows).
• You begin to hear goblin voices in the distance, coming from the main passage (not yet in the side passage you're battling they wolf in).
• It will take one person to assist Junius in opening the stone and steel door.

[Rusty Tincanne]

AdaRue and Vernon help Junius try to maneuver the door.

All taken care of.

Vernon says they should pour oil over the sticky mess and toss a flask beyond it. When the goblins come, they will rush in, get stuck and then we can light it. Burn them all. As long as everyone agrees, he will do that with 2 flasks of his oil.
