Chapter 1: Journey through the Jotens

[redwarrior]

Boff, seeing his foes freeze in place, will attempt to dispatch them over the next few rounds. First R5 then 2 and 1.

Frannie staggers from the arrow strike, and seeing the other two move away from the ballista casts Hold person on Pink 2 & 3 And 5, if she can reach, I think that's a borderline call. If not, will attempt to get 4. She then shelters behind the ballista & cart. Intends to heal herself next round

[Storm11]

Raffi heads off to finish the left one of the hobgoblins that Hex knocked out. The gnome will try and finish the right one. Slitting their throats.

[gurusql]

Just confirming, Raffi is ignoring and disengaging and thus exposing his back to the two hobgoblins in his face (O5 and O8) to work on slitting the throat of a Color Sprayed hobgoblin?

Nope. He will attack whichever is closer.

In the Jotens - The Second Wave of Hobgoblins
Waterday, 12th day of Planting, 597
7th day since leaving Loftwick

Qleceec (AC 1, HP 22/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 30/65, Armor 23/26)
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 18/53)
Siouxsie (AC 2 [1], HP 32/48)
Garrant (AC 8 [0/1/2], HP 25/50)
Hex (AC 0, HP 22/27, Armor 5/8)
Raffi (AC 6, HP 20/21)
Boff (AC 5 [1 from dust], HP 29/61)
Frannie (AC 4, HP 5/26)

Qleceec has no mercy and kills both hobgoblins in front of her with her longsword. (O9 and O0)

Raffi with his short sword and dagger lands two deep blows on O5 killing him were he stood.

Hex slits the throat of the first unconscious hobgoblin, killing O4.

Frannie casts Hold Person on the three archers on the hill and two of them are held. (O3 and O5)

Siouxsie decides to evoke her powerful scroll, Wall of Fire as a ring around herself. She moves as far away from her team members as possible (10') and creates a small a circle as possible to minimize the harm to the rest of the party. Multiple people are still within the 20' damage affect zone, resulting in Frannie taking 1 HP, Nah Olos 2 HP, Hex's Armor 3 HP, Raffi's Armor 3 HP (which is destroyed) and then 1 more HP himself, Qleceec 4 HP and for the hobgoblins in the area O8 1 HP, and O7 5 HP.

Boff still invisible kills the held R5.

Androgost moves toward the group the east.

Garrant watches for something happening on this flank.

For the hobgoblins, P2 moves back from the edge into the forest. O8 tries to run from Raffi, Raffi gets a parting shot but was not super effective and hobgoblin is running up the east side. P4 also decides to run leaving no active combatants at the moment.

Back to the parties action!

Qleceec

Qleceec will remain where she is and switch back to her bow.

[Storm11]

Hex will move to slit the throat of the other hobgoblin he knocked out, but only if the Druid moves away from him. If she doesn’t look like she is he will instead get away from the heat.

Raffi also backs away from the wall of fire, and sheathes his sword and dagger once he is out of danger.

[cybersavant]

Nah Olos continues to load the ballista to be ready for the next wave

[shaidar]

Garrant

Once Garrant is satisfied that the webbed hobgoblins won't be breaking out immediately, he will head back down to the path (4 squares SSE), which still give him good visibility of what's happening on that flank.

[ravenn4544]

Androgst continues east, hugging the cliff wall and steering clear of the fire wall that has sprouted up. He then aims for the closest brute to smite.

[Spearmint]

Siouxsie

Charges. She wants to get up to the ridge and run amok among the ranks of hobgoblins. Most direct route but away from burning comrades or they can run in support behind my fiery wake.

Not really sure that you can see through the Wall of Fire, but I will ignore the question. Siouxsie wants to get up the 15' hill, but realizes that she will not be able to run up it so she started to head around along the shortest path she can think of. This move ends up between the two paralyzed hobgoblins (O1 and O3). Directly burning O1 (dead) to indirectly burning O3 (alive)

Hex moved up and kills the remaining hobgoblin at his feet.

Raffi puts away his weapons and Qleceec also puts away her sword and draws her bow.

Androgost rounds the corner chasing trouble, er Siouxsie but not getting into the Wall of Fire kill zones.

It become clear to Nah Olos, that even with his strength, loading this ballista requires a minimum of two persons and he is effectively wasting his time.

Garrant is confident the hobgoblins are having a hard time with the Web and moves to the road. Garrant does notice the two tied up hobgoblins are perhaps a few rounds from freeing themselves. (R2 and R3), but they are both still bound at this time.

Boff moves over and kills the held R2.

Frannie casts Cure Light Wounds on herself getting back 3 HP.

The two fleeing hobgoblins continue to do just that. There are no active hobgoblins on the board. There are two that are bound, six in Webbing, 3 that are held and one that is paralyzed.

Qleceec

Qleceec will stand watch as everyone else finishes off the hobgoblins.

[Storm11]

Raffi and Hex will begin to search the hobgoblin bodies not near the wall of fire.

[ravenn4544]

Androgst continues following Siouxsie so he can close and eliminate the remaining threats on the cliff.

[cybersavant]

assuming the top of the map- is North, i'm going east

Nah Olos "Thanks a lot for the help!!" Nah draws his bastard sword and heads 60' to the right to watch if anything comes around the bend.

In the Jotens - Some Hobgoblins are Dead
Waterday, 12th day of Planting, 597
7th day since leaving Loftwick

Siouxsie runs around burning the hobgoblins that are still alive with Androgost almost chasing her. I am considering all the hobgoblins (other than the ones listed as escaped) as dead. Qleceec, Nah Olos, Garrant are watching various places for another wave that does not come.

Eventually most of the magic runs its normal course. Including Garrant's Shield, Boff's Dust of Disappearance and Siouxsie's Barkskin. The only question is does Siouxsie still want to focus on the Wall of Fire?

The light rain continues to fall and most of the party members have some blood on them either hobgoblin, their own or both.

Some members check out the bodies and when all is told, there are over 75 hobgoblin bodies around the area. Searching them all yields a total of 788 copper pieces and and 385 gold pieces.

No hostile foes come in the period of searching.

What would the group like to do next?

[cybersavant]

Nah Olos "Getting this balliata mobile could help in dealing with that dragon on the return."

[Spearmint]

Siouxsie

Once hostile threats have ended, I will cease the spell.

[Rex]

Qleceec

She will clean up herself and recover as many arrows as possible.
