Expedition: Baxtaw - Seeking Scatha's Lair - 23 July 2021

[Zhym]

Lug sits on a stair, sipping his potion bit by bit, and waits for the stupid people to get tired of waiting on the stupid goblins.

[Mister-Kent]

Osuna follows Lug upstairs.

[Dram]

Baxtaw spins around the corner and casts one of his Magic missiles around the corner. Who speaks goblin let them know we have alot more of these magic missiles. We will pick them off one by one. They can all die or help us.


Magic Missile d6 roll [1d6+1] = 1+1 = 2

[Jernau35]

"GOBLINS!" roars Piers. "We have many more of theses magical missiles! We will shoot you all day! You can either help us, or stay down there and die!"

[Rusty Tincanne]

Bremen rolls his eyes in the dark. So... I guess you don't want to try making then think we left. How long before you run out of the spell then? He suggests to Piers that, perhaps he could target the opposite side of the table-barricade, blinding the goblins, allowing the adventures to charge with less chance of being hit.

If Baxtaw wants to go the route of magic missile-ing then, I think you can just roll a bunch of damage rolls and Marullus can do with it what he will.

Piers could take that as casting light or darkness to blind the goblins, but darkness would make it difficult for Baxtaw to target the goblins.

[Dram]

Baxtaw- Waits for answer from the goblins

Magic Missiles don't miss. If Osuna has Farie fire it could confuse them, possibly make them panic.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Magic Missiles don't miss. If Osuna has Farie fire it could confuse them, possibly make them panic.

I wasn't sure how that worked if the goblins are in a mystically created pitch blackness. Don't you need to see something to target it?

[Marullus]

Lug takes a second sip of the potion (+1), then sits on the stairs a turn upwards with his torch, waiting for the others to finish below. Osana ascends and waits with Lug.

Bremen fires another magical blast down the hallway, Piers shouts more threats. The goblins seem to hold ranks.

(Baxtaw, how many of your missiles do you shoot? Otherwise, do you go with the "silent for 40 minutes" plan?)

Date: 9:20pm, 25 July 2021
Light: None (-4 penalties); Lug's Torch (until 10:00pm)
Effects: None
Injuries: Lug (severe wound), Bremen (moderate wound), Baxtaw (minor wound), Stantz (minor wound), Clouson (minor wound)

[5d6] = 22 CHA check for Piers

The goblin's hallway is lit with torches. Baxtaw's missiles can shoot 150' so he can see them and hit them. If you cast Darkness there, it will blot out the light there (15' radius) but also prevent magic missiles. (You can shoot in bows with -2, not -4, penalty due to the crowded conditions.)

[Zhym]

Did none of the goblins fire at Bremen when he shot his magic missile down the hall?

[Dram]

spins around the corner and casts one of his Magic missiles around the corner. Who speaks goblin let them know we have alot more of these magic missiles. We will pick them off one by one. They can all die or help us.

Baxtaw will wait for a answer from the goblins. If none is given he will pull back with Bremen and wait.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Bremen doesn't have any magic missiles. That was probably a typo and meant to say Baxtaw. But it seems that Baxtaw and Osuna escaped retaliatory fire from the goblins. Maybe because you can cast magic missile and then release it later, not taking time to aim.

[Marullus]

Baxtaw will wait for a answer from the goblins. If none is given he will pull back with Bremen and wait.

The response above was meant to address this - the posted roll showed that it failed as an attempt to intimidate them and the goblins hold ranks.

The goblins do not shout a formal response. Piers do hear some ribald joking about where you can shove the magic missiles, followed by laughter among the goblin's fellows. Lug and Osana sit together further up the stairwell.

Your party sits in the darkness, hoping to surprise the goblins when they get curious and come to check if you've really gone. True to their nature, they eventually do - you hear the whispers among them and the clinking of their armor pieces as they proceed cautiously down the hallway. Your ruse is unsuccessful, however - before you can spring your surprise with the light spell, a goblin shouts, "They're still here! Get back!"

There are eight goblins forward of the barricade, about 20' from you in the hallway. You're currently in darkness.

(Actions!)

Date: 9:50pm, 25 July 2021
Light: None (-4 penalties); Lug's Torch up stairway (until 10:00pm)
Effects: None
Injuries: Lug (severe wound), Bremen (moderate wound), Baxtaw (minor wound), Stantz (minor wound), Clouson (minor wound)

surprise: Us: [1d6] = 4 them [1d6] = 5

[Rusty Tincanne]

Bremen lights up a torch and walks toward the portcullis. Next time you try and storm a mountain-hold, Baxtaw, I'd suggest bringing some siege equipment. Or some way to subdue your enemies.

[Mister-Kent]

While sitting on the stairs, Osuna looks with concern at Lug's severe injury. "What now?" she asks the others. She silently prepares her mirror, hoping to find guidance.

[Zhym]

Lug shrugs. And sips.

[Rusty Tincanne]

One with Lug and Osuna, Bremen asks Father Clauson to tend to the large man's wounds. He tries (in vain) to lift the portcullis. Anyone game for trying the front entrance?

Lift Gait 1-3 [1d6] = 5

[Dram]

Baxtaw- Lets move out and look for another entrance or cry your asses back to the the city. Where you can wait for the fully healed dragon burn it to ashes. And if you think you can just run to your tower. Let it be known he said that he will destroy all men. Baxtaw heads up the steps past Lug. Hands him his potion of healing. Here heal yourself up.

[Zhym]

"Sure, I'll have a go at lifting the big gate. Soon as we're all ready to go," says Lug. "Ain't gonna do it twice. Er, three times, I guess, counting the first time I did it. You know what I mean."

[Marullus]

Please pause the gate-related conversation. Right now we're in a combat round and Bremen is fleeing. That needs to be adjudicated before you start roleplaying being snarky up the stairwell. Baxtaw, Piers, Rowina, and Crowgar are still left facing the goblins - I need Baxtaw to address the goblins (or fleeing) before he posts with those up the stairs.

[Dram]

Baxtaw waiting with his bow will fire at the rear goblin hoping to trip the others as they flee back to the barricade.


+1 MW Bow(THAC016)[1d20+3] = 20+3 = 23 Dam[1d8+3] = 2+3 = 5


Do i get 2 attacks as they are fleeing? If I do here is the 2nd atk.
+1 MW Bow(THAC016)[1d20+3] = 9+3 = 12 Dam[1d8+3] = 2+3 = 5
