Knatchbull
Knatchbull scrambles to his feet and take cover behind a tree (if possible). He will quickly look around for the longest, heaviest piece of wood he can find. He'll wait behind the tree and when the hobgoblin gets close enough take a wild swing to try and dismount the pursuer/knock them out.
I'm not sure what to roll for that

Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Knatchbull, you can give me a normal [1d20+str] attack roll and I will adjust for 'non-lethal damage if you are not using your weapons.
Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Fapp
Encouraging his Worg on, Fapp attempts to back track and rush the Hobgoblin head on! Swinging his sling and gathering speed he lets loose a stone at the Hobgoblin
hoping for a direct shot. Unknown if the Worg understands him, he talks to it in a happy, friendly voice attempting to appear calm "We need to take care of
that Hobgoblin my furry friend. Think you can knock him off or even better yet make your Worg buddy help us, ignoring the Hobgoblin on it?"
Sling shot at Hobgoblin [1d20]=10
Oh well at least he tried lol....

Escaping Bresnan's Ranch
Hobgoblin Sgt' orcbow vs Fapp [1d20]=6 [1d6]=2
The warg archer charges towards the duo. He knows he has hit one and seen the man roll off his mount. He aims for Fapp, his arrow flying high and wide, much the same as the halfling's sling stone. However before he can nock a second shaft, he is struck by a branch across the torso.
Hobgoblin Sgt' [4d6]=18 vs 11
The blow topples him from his saddle and he hits the dirt. As he raises himself up he smiles at Knatchbull then says "Foolish boy, stealing the Chieftain's wargs. You will cause trouble no more and they will feed on your flesh.
Kozan, kill." he commands his warg which snarls and circles the half-orc with predatory steps.
initiative [1d6] and attacks please.

Distracting Attack to help Knatchbull [1d20]=2
This will not end well hahahahhahahahhaahhahah .... hoo boy here goes nothing
The little Halfling, inspired by his new found prowess with his steed, rushes the Hobgoblin and his Worg.
Unsure how to relay his intention to his Worg he tries anyways!
"ATTACK" he tells the Worg when they are close enough and tensing, he jumps off the beast directly at the Hobgoblin,
hoping to surprise him at the least or even knock him back, away from his pal Knatchbull.
"Keep away from my buddy you ugly son of a whore!"

Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Knatchbull
Not wanting to give the hobgoblin a chance to recover, Knatchbull will smash the tree limb one more time onto the head of the downed rider. Better to have just the worg to worry about

Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Escaping the Ranch
Attacking quicker, Knatchbull clouts the hobgoblin guard again, knocking him back. Fapp leaps from his mount to assault him further and they both end up grappling on the floor before the halfling is rolled aside and the hobgoblin releases an arrow at him. He misses and draws a dagger to taunt with.
The archer's warg snarls and pounces at Knatchbull, commanded to attack, trained to obey.
Wolf attack. [1d20]=6 [2d4]=7
It leaps but misses and begins to circle the tree you are backed up against in a predatory manner.
Hobgoblin Sgt' orcbow vs Fapp [1d20]=4 [1d6]=3
The pair duel against warg and rider. next attacks please.

Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Escaping the Ranch
The encounter comes to a dramatic climax. Fapp and the hobgoblin trade blows. Twice the taller humanoid fumbles against the nimble opponent.
Knatchbull and the warg both circle each other, the tree a good barrier between them as each pounces to strike only for the opponent to dodge and riposte with blade or claw.
The two animals though are ultimately trained killers. After dismounting with a leap at the hobgoblin, Fapp's warg snarls at the figure and snaps at his heels, bearing the big figure to the ground. hobgoblin -7hp The other warg pounces upon the half-orc, almost bearing him prone and tearing through his protective armours to claw and bite his upper torso. Knatchbull -4hp
Hobgoblin Sgt' attacks Fapp [1d20+1]=1+1=2 [1d4+1]=4+1=5
Hobgoblin Sgt' attacks Fapp [1d20+1]=1+1=2 [1d4+1]=4+1=5
Fapp Wolf attack. [1d20]=20 [2d4]=7
Warg vs Knatchbull attack. [1d20]=20 [2d4]=4
Hobgoblin Sgt' attacks warg [1d20+1]=15+1=16 [1d4+1]=2+1=3
Warg vs hobgoblin. [1d20+2]=11+2=13 [2d4]=8
Warg vs Knatchbull [1d20]=5 [2d4]=3
The archer is savaged, though he stabs back at the warg, it rips out his throat. Its kin cannot repeat the act upon Knatchbull and the two adventurers can hack and slash it.
attacks and actions please. Can Fapp give me two rolls as I updated in lieu of your attack for this round.
I usually roll advance attacks so I can script a draft to the next update but as you can see from the macro's, apart from this present round's attack on Knatchbull, the following ones would miss so it can be pertinent to post them and let you guys get in a couple of attacks each before I call for a new phase. If you can kill it drive off this worg you can pretty much escape back to Helix and I will wrap this expedition up with you guys reporting to the mercenary guild and tally up some XP rewards.
Trying to push this along to a conclusion as I have my chemo Monday so will probably away from keyboard a couple of days which will give you time to roleplay in the village or talk to other adventurers in the tavern threads.

Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Fapp
[1d20]=12 2 rolls one here
2nd roll [1d20]=7
Well I rolled [2d20] but that wouldn't be accurate.
P.S Fapp wouldn't kill the Hobgobbie but he is realistic and allows his Worg to kill their foe so they can better get out of here and back to Helix

Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Knatchbull is furious after receiving his wounds. He takes his anger out on his worg opponent.
+3 damage (from strength)

Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Escaping the Ranch:
The Aftermath: May 3rd 1066
super critical hit.
With a bonus for flanking the warg and getting in a rear attack, Fapp stabs the beast that is mauling Knatchbull. It howls, releasing it's grip on the half-orc who takes full advantage and cleaves it open, slicing throat to shoulder in a strike any abattoir would be proud out. A spray of hot steamy blood gushes forth.
remember to include any bonuses in your macros and include your weapon damage as well to save me looking things up.
A long way behind you, lantern lights and calls echo through the forest. It is time to move on. You leave the dead hobgoblin and warg where they fell, (you take take the archer's shortbow).
Riding a warg into Helix may not be the most prudent thing. Fapp stares down the creature once more, a feral intelligence and lupine cunning in both your eyes. Cutting it free of the saddle, the beast runs into the forest, it stops at the dense fringe, looks back and then disappears though you have a feeling you may see it again sometime. For now though is free of being restrained and burdened. Now you both need to do the same. Running quickly a couple of miles down the deer tracks and you arrive in Helix, bloodied and bruised with some tales to tell.
And so, your first expedition to infiltrate Bresnan's Ranch terminates here with you returning to 'civilization'. I will go through the expedition and make note of the XP rewards and list the treasure trove, scant though it is.
You next action should be to report to Osen at the guild. Give him an account of what you did, we can roleplay that out.
During the next week, from your return until May 10th, the guild will host you at their expense so you can recover to full health as well. It also means the 'heat' on searching for you lessens and certainly no ill will befalls you in the village. Once outside that, any 'agents of Bresnan' may consider you 'fair game'.
Post as well in the Brazen Strumpet Tavern thread, stick a post dated May 11th and go talk to other adventurers who are recruiting for another expedition.
any last actions and comments in relation to the expedition post here.
post in the mercenary guild thread you arrival and report

Happy Birthday!
Extra OOC: I literally used the wrong melee weapon the whole time-I have a Bastard Sword (so I can switch between 1H and 2H) not a Battle Axe...Deduct XP for me being an idiot.
PPS: I WASN'T afraid of the CAT!!!
Re: Infiltrating Bresnan's Ranch
Fapp
Sorry for my absence my wife was operated on and had a pacemaker installed , she is only 42 but those are the dice we are thrown sometimes.
Adjusted my sheet for XP.
Fapp would hand over the fabric he copied the symbols on to Osen.
As for anything else he would have shared it with his pal Knatchbull even if his buddy was against him taking it.
Fapp took the bow.
Shall post in the thread tomorrow if that is okay.
